Thread 28, TTC #1 | We may be hormonal giraffes but we don't eat no low fat humous

[Londonjam]

Calling all OPK-ers, Temp-ers, Clomid-ers, Femara-ers, IUI-ers, IVF-ers and anyone else on the TTC #1 Bus.

We've been going a while now so the novelty has worn off and we're slightly battle scarred and bruised in the cervix area. We don't get a lot of baby dust in these here parts, we just keep it legs spread and fingers crossed (LSFX). We love a baby bomb from a prior bus-mate but if we get told to 'just relax and enjoy it' ONE MORE TIME you will get a punch in the face!

Hop on board, post your stats and prepare to be dazzled by the wealth of TTC knowledge we long-timeys have to share...

Key:
HS - have/had sex
GOS - good old shag
ELH - enthusiastic lavatory happenings
LSFX - legs spread, fingers crossed

Congratulations Carley, what a lovely Easter present for you! 🐰🌟

Congratulations carley! Lovely news!

I'm off to the nurse to have 21 day bloods done, what should I be asking about? I've gone blank...

Congratulations Carley

Congrats carley! Glad we're back to getting a reliable stream of bfps! Sorry gaelach no advice but good luck!

I have my gynae appointment 28 April, FX I don't need it!

flash mine is also 28th April! Fingers crossed for us both.

Congratulations Carley!

I rarely get to 12dpo but here's hoping I do this time. 10dpo today, bfn last night unsurprisingly.

Going to go stock up on tampax anyway and hope that's another waste of money.

To add, I won't be massively disappointed in reality as if I did get a bfp my due date would be Christmas day! !

Gaelach the GP will have requested / specified what parameters are tested so you don't need to worry about that. When you get your results get an appointment to go through what they all mean - there were a lot of numbers and acronyms when I got mine

Congratulations Carley

Also thinking of kwick I hope you are doing well 🌼

jam the b50 has shifted my cycle so I think mine is more likely 20th April now. The grads list is so long!

oooo winging! Gynae buddies. Lucky us eh?

winging yeah if I am upduffed this month my due date would be 26th December. Although for me it might feel like a good omen as last baby had a due date of mid December.

jam, it's marmite's due date today!! Then there's about one due a month until August when there's a bit of a glut (including me!). Not everyone that has got their bfps here have joined us so it's not super busy but definitely getting busier than before. FX for all of you coming up to AF/testing/appointments. And congrats carley!

Haha how funny I wondered if a due date was coming up on the very day of the first one?! Good luck to marmite how incredibly exciting.

Congratulations Carley! 🎉🎉🎉

Yay carley!! Lovely news, have a lovely time celebrating x

Thank you ladies! We only HS once in FW (with me on top which I assume isn't the ideal for TTC ) so pleasantly surprised it happened this month.

Best of luck to the upcoming testers!

Congratulations Carley!!

Jam can you do 2nd May for me?

Congratulations Carley that's amazing news! What cycle is this and did you do anything different?

Jam can you put me down for May 5th please. I'll update if O day is earlier this month. AF is due basically due on DH's birthday this cycle so I'm already anxious about ruining it
Hope your egg is on time, can't be easy planning everything around DH's work. I'm sure all will be fine though!

As for the Grad's thread, as Music said, not too many have joined but it's good to see how long the Grad's list is now! Everyone seems to be doing really well and everyone who has found out the sex is having a girl! Including FXSkip who just announced it after her 20 week scan. I miss them all and seriously can't wait to join! Can't help feeling that it's more likely they'll have all given birth before that ever happens lol. Good luck Marmite!

Flash your spa day sounded soo good, jealous

Happy anniversary pyjamas. Hope you and DH have a fantastic weekend away!

Welcome kiki

Happy Easter everyone 🐥

I'm also worried about / miss @Peaches8Posies. Hope you're okay? She had a bleed/scare (I think) but never joined the Grad's thread and hasn't come back here either?

Alexia - cycle 3. Didn't really do anything different other than having less sex and getting very drunk on O day

Oh wow Carley!! Would be lovely if it was that easy for everyone, so glad you don't have this struggle. Fx for a smooth 9 months

Congratulations Carley

Alexia - try not to feel bad about your period being due on his birthday. 😘 You are doing absolutely everything humanly within your power to become pregnant ❤

Thank you so much Kerry ❤️ I know, but I'm desperate to give him the best birthday gift ever; I know it's the only thing he wants but it's completely out of my control. Most of his family died when he was a child (car crash) and his mum and brother live in North America. He can't even remember what it's like to have a father/family so I know he wants to experience that and create his own little family here.

I worked out earlier if I'd conceived cycle 3 (and all went well) I'd have given birth in 2015. It crazy how long it's been! Anyone else have these thoughts? Been having a bit of a down day, sorry to moan.
