Thread 29 | The one with the BFPs (please)

[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

Oh I forgot to say that we have unexplained infertility - as far as any dr can say everything is tickety-boo ...except for the lack of any BFPs.

Sorry AF got you Kerry hope you're okay 💐

Right here's the list. If anyone needs a ticket or needs to change their ticket please let me know

Thanks for the list jam! I'm now 24th May 👍🏼

Af is due for me on the 5th june jam.

Has anyone else OH bought the one step sperm analysis thing from amazon? My OH got some delivered today without me knowing. from what ive read its six of one and half a dozen of another on how accurate they are. No harm in trying though.

Thanks jam not sure whether feeling hopeful or not; good luck tomorrow, hope it goes OK

Winging - that's made me feel a bit better, I've used their online form to raise a ticket. Hopefully they'll get back to me soon. Im sure it'll be fine even if we are sat apart but I don't fancy it.

Jam - can you put me down for 26th may hon?

Hey Jam
Can you put me down for the 24th May please? Even though my cycles are still all over the place.
I'm hoping this thread is lucky for many of you lovely ladies. I've been following this thread for a while now and it's about time you got your successful BFPs xx

Gahhhh! After saying I was taking a break from opks.... I cracked. Nice +ve .

Why is it only positive when oh and I are knackered????

In other news 5.5km run today!

Did I mention I'm tired?

Basset I looked into it but decided not to as felt I wouldn't be able to trust the result. It could upset you unnecessarily. I'd ask your GP to order one if you're concerned.

I've added those dates 👍🏼

Hep get to it! 😉

I considered it as well bassett but I also didn't feel I could trust the results.

Fx you get two seats together skipper!

That right there is bloody typical hep - get shagging though!

Well we HS again - I would call it a GOS but that would be a stretch. Totally functional and I can tell he's glad it's over as soon as we're done. No cuddles, nothing. He just gets up immediately and gets dressed. I'm so over this.

Hi all -- welcome newbies. Sending good vibes for everyone's FWs, tests, and the trials of life.

cycle: 4

Jam you can put me down for June 18.

I ordered my basal thermometer today!

Hello!

I'm a first-time poster on here. Really interested to follow other people's journeys. I would like to talk to friends/family but don't want to tell anyone we're ttc. So am hoping to make some pals in cyber space instead!

Am I too late to join this one? Here are my deets anyway:

Paige
30
Cycle 7
Had a few problems with my pesky ovary last year - unsure of any long term effects. Cycles range from 24 to 45 days.
AF due on 12 May, but have had symptoms for 1.5 weeks now.

Sorry if I get acronyms and stuff wrong. Still a newbie!

Hep - can't believe you crumbled! A GOS today should be okay or did you manage it last night.

Jam - good luck today! Have you got the whole day off?

Pyjamas - some our our "sessions" are like that. But there is nothing wrong with functional sex when you have a means to an end. I just hope there is still some spontaneous sex in there outside of FW?

Welcome Paige!

Good luck today Jam, hope it all goes well and isn't too painful.

Ha! Can't remember the last time we had spontaneous sex skipper! FW really takes it out of us (we were quite happily a once a week at most couple before) and we just can't bring ourselves to it. Ah, the joys of TTC...

And good luck today jam!

It is criminal what long term TTC does to your sex life! To be honest though we were very lazy about it before so it's actually been a bit of a kick up the bum for us.

On my way to the hospital now feeling pretty nervous , have taken two paracetamol ... I'm going straight into work afterwards 😕 is that not ideal? I've got a publisher meeting this afternoon so need to be in.

Welcome Paige!

You'll be fine to go back to work. I could of easily - just chose not to.

skipper no chance last night. OH was knackered. He has long days tonight and tomorrow.

dtd o-3 and o-4 i think, (or possibly o-4 and o-5) so not completely out this month.

TMI alert. I had EWCM on friday, so thought i had ov-d at weekend? ah well.

Good luck jam! And thanks for the list - no idea what is happening with my cycle yet. Got a squinter on an ic last night so the hormones still haven't quite gone from the mc, but I think nearly there.

binky I think it's pug who might have a secondment not me - when do you find out pug?

skipper that's so annoying. Happened to me and DH on return flight of our recent trip. For some reason they'd put all the solo travellers in either aisle or window leaving all middle seats free?! So we ended up in 2 middle seats in consecutive rows. We were going to ask someone to swap but when it came to it we just ended up watching films and sleeping so didn't bother. I was fuming at check in though!

Hi guys, hope it's okay for me to join as just seen this thread! :)

Unicorns

TTC#1
Cycle 3 (or 4 but the first month was more of an ease into it)
DPO 8
CD 23 out of 28
Due 14th May
No known fertility issues

Wishing you all the biggest amount of luck this month.

All done ✅

It wasn't too bad at all. A bit uncomfortable and a bit of a faff getting the speculum in. I couldn't feel the tube going in. The dye started going in and I felt a slight heaviness ... as they put in there was some pain but it was tolerable ... and then it was done.

The dye flowed straight out both tubes and they said they look clear. More formal results follow. I'm not sure what I do next - call up for a follow up?

They said it really varies how people respond to the test. Some people have a lot of pain.

I don't think I am ever in my life feel so envious though of women who get pregnant without thinking about it. The bloody faff of having to go through all this crap is so annoying!!

The doctor said afterwards the official guidelines are not to have unprotected sex until after my next period. I questioned him and he said it's because there is not evidence of what effect the dye might have on the embryo.

Any reassurance from experiences here again please - did your consultants definitely say it was okay?

My OPKs are climbing and I've got all the EWCM and a husband on his way home ...

*as they put in more dye there was some pain
