Thread 31, TTC1 | Jam and her dodgers still riding the bonking bus for that elusive BFP

[Jamon]

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 well and truly 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

Hope you are feeling better lemony it has got to us all one way or another.

alice 🤞🏼it turns into a BFP. What POAS are you using? Please switch to FRER if not using that already.
I thought AF still came even when no ovulation occurs

Happy Friday everyone!!!

FRER FMU. It ain't happening.

Sorry alice, that is bloody heartbreaking when you've got all your timings right and then been so late. I'm really sorry and hope you are not in this limbo for much longer.

It's finally the weekend and I am ready for vino.
My Friday yays are
University friends wedding tomorrow in London so don't have to go away and it will be good fun
Finally got my budget for next year finished and ready to submit on Monday
BIL's girlfriend arrives this evening from HK and we are having a cheese, wine and deli meats picky tea. My fave.

Hope you all have lovely weekend plans ahead.

So so sorry Alice - so hard not to get hopes up. I hope you're doing ok xx

Enjoy the wedding today jam!

Hope you're feeling better lemon xx

Yay another piano player quiet! I've been practicing a little every day 😊

Love the poem kwick!

I did acupuncture for the last two cycles flora - obviously hasn't helped get that BFP, but I found it v relaxing. In two minds about whether to do it again due to money! May just see if I can find someone cheaper.

I applied and was approved for a Virgin Atlantic credit card yesterday. Figured with all the money we're spending, we may as well get something towards holidays! Worked out if I'd used it from the start, air miles would've basically paid for a trip to see my mum in Florida and/or (not 100% clear on terms) would've got a companion ticket for DH to come with me this Christmas.

Off to see DH's mum and step dad today and staying the night - they live in the most peaceful middle of nowhere place ever so am looking forward to it ☺️

Took a test to check I can drink today and the bfn has brought me right down. I wish I hadn't bothered. Have done all my make up and hair and just can't seem to stop crying. One of the girls in our group at the wedding is pregnant and another has a baby. They both got married after us. There's going to be so much baby chat and I just don't feel up to it today

Jam you are so strong, just look at how far you've come already. You are in the final stages before help starts and you can get through today. You are not alone, we are all here for you. Sending lots of

jam you have got this. You are so brave you just need to hold on to that. A bfn today doesn't mean a bfn never. I know how hard it must be but you can get through today.

I'm so sorry jam 😞 I really hope you're having a good time at the wedding, but that bfn must've really stung. Not long now.

Sounds like you're feeling a bit better lemon - good good 🙂 Definitely look up others as well - I only picked Virgin Atlantic because I have to go to Florida so much to see my mum and brother and that's the airline I use the most! British Airways do one too 👍🏼

Sorry jam it's not like we don't expect it yet still a right kick in the teeth when it happens.

Today was spent in London at my friend's not-a-baby-shower baby shower. Sitting between friend1 at 37weeks and friend2 at 29weeks was hard but they all know out situation so very supportive but that doesn't help with the cold hard facts of not being pregnant when they are.

Cried in the sodding loo at the reception. DH got absolutely smashed. Was dancing with a girl there in a way that made me really unhappy too. I feel our marriage is at the lowest point it's ever been.

@Jamon ttc is unbelievably stressful, especially when everyone seems to be able to do it by accident and we've been trying for so long.
I haven't read the whole thread but men are just idiots especially when drunk, but I wouldn't take it seriously (the dancing I mean). He probably worries it's him, and men are usually crap at communicating their feelings.
I have been crying on and off all day too. Waiting for AF, BFN on the frer a couple of days ago, and just feeling like shit. Cried looking at baby clothes in John Lewis too - embarrassing as fuck. We'll get through this.

alice

jamon not sure what to say apart from your time will come - hang in there and in the meantime
What the others said.

Hope the hangovers today are not too ferocious.

Oh Jam, I'm so sorry. There's absolutely no excuse for that kind of behaviour and you deserve so much better than that.

Hope you're doing OK today jam and had a chance to talk to DH; weddings can be the worst when a couple's under strain. Sending you a hug, and a brighter Sunday xx

Hope you're doing ok jam. Sounds like a tough few days. Weddings are so hard when you're struggling, not sure why but they're just so much harder these days.

We're off to visit another new baby and just stopped to buy card and the words really bloody hammered it home. I just bought one that said congratulations. Can't really buy one saying your bundle will bring so much joy etc etc as I wouldn't know! Bloody card shops.
