Welcome all anti-fertile fuckers! This is our clique for those trying longer than 6 cycles and are pretty fed up.

Here are our Fucked Off TTC Commandments

  • Thou shall not arrive one day and post BFP next day
  • Thou shall not give advice to other when TTC for one month only
  • Thou shall not participate in one-up-manship and realise TTC is shit for everyone in different ways
  • Thou shall allow posters to be fucked off with the world and everything in it at regular points in the month
  • Thou shall not be offended by strong language
  • Thou shall not tell everyone to eat yams
  • Thou shall accept being called a muppet for testing at 7dpo at 9pm at night

Our spreadsheet which includes what supplements (and potatoes) we are trying in our journey to motherhood.

Yep, and today was a low day, so the ewcf is making no sense.

And sadly wouldn’t count as early for me - I ovulated on cd11 last month.

Been trying desperately to lengthen follicular phase, but nae joy.

Bubblegum89 · 31/10/2017 17:12

I’m jealous of you all with ewcm, since having my implant out I never get it anymore :(

Justwaitingforaline · 31/10/2017 17:38

Bubble evening primrose Oil, if you aren’t already taking it! It makes it like niagra falls down there!

dudemeister76 · 31/10/2017 17:41

Hi everyone, sorry I've not been around for a while but I'm happy to see unicorn is upduffed!!! congrats!
So this month I've been on 1000mg of EPO and its certainly worked for EWCM. Ive literally been sliding around like a snail and for about 5 days. I also had positive opks yesterday on clear blue and internet cheapie (at 5 am) so forced husband to have sex before work. i think i ovulated today and in amongst the snail trail i saw some blood??? only a teeny weeny bit but it was there. I googled this obviously and apparently it can mean your extra fertile although i know this must be bullshit I'm now hoping its gonna happen this month lol. Has anyone else ever had this?

LovePinaColada · 31/10/2017 17:45

Does Evening Primrose Oil play about with AF due date etc @Justwaitingforaline? May start this cycle!

NimbleKnitter · 31/10/2017 17:59

Ah! That might explain it.

I did add in epo and omega 3

RhiBee29 · 31/10/2017 18:24

Just catching up... Congratulations @Unicornberry

cannonball8726 · 31/10/2017 21:54

Congrats unicorn!

LovePinaColada · 31/10/2017 21:57

Thanks for the raspberry tip @LimpLettice!

justmeonly · 31/10/2017 21:58

Had a bit of a teary heart to heart with OH this evening. He was lovely. Going to try to chill a bit now and not think about it so much. Easier said than done.

hellybellyjellybean · 31/10/2017 22:04

Congrats @Unicornberry

justmeonly · 31/10/2017 22:08

Btw - I always always have to have warm feet! I even go to bed wearing socks and bootie slippers! It's good to know I'm accidentally doing something right Smile

Justwaitingforaline · 31/10/2017 22:18

Pina nope, not since I’ve taken it! 2000mg a day ( 2 capsules of Sainsbury’s ones) until O day. It can take a few months to have effect but it worked straight away for me!

LovePinaColada · 31/10/2017 22:43

So, when are everyone's BFPs due?

Mine = 3rd December (Cycle lucky number 7) 🤞

Justwaitingforaline · 31/10/2017 23:46

Mines due 15th Nov which is DDs birthday... got my 21 day bloods on the 9th, do they check for HCG? Will be trying to resist testing until the day AF is due but I will undoubtedly cave at 8dpo

Mamabooksbabynumber2 · 01/11/2017 06:42

Is 11dpo too early to test? Af due Sunday. I'm tempted to poas....

LimpLettice · 01/11/2017 07:09

11dpo is early, Mama but not ridiculously so. I plan to test Friday which is around 11 for me. Only to do guilt free champagne Friday evening of course Grin

Mamabooksbabynumber2 · 01/11/2017 07:13

Bfn it seems 😔

RhiBee29 · 01/11/2017 08:01

@LovePinaColada bfp now due 1st December...hoping Santa will give me an early present this year!

Mrsjones17 · 01/11/2017 09:11

Anyone paid to have a private ultrasound? I'm considering it. Found a place that lets you book and then ultrasound looks at lining of the womb and ovaries etc. Anyone had it done in nhs? If so how long did you have to wait? Just about to start cycle 13 of TTC. Already had day 21 bloods done. Getting DH to go to doc to ask for sperm count check too

@Mrsjones17 when I had DIUI I had a baseline scan at the fertility clinic which was technically an NHS clinic but I paid privately, let me check the price list when I get home to give you an idea!

Mines is due sometime between the 3rd and 8th of December depending on my cycle length 😒

Gonna call the doctors today to make an appointment. Feeling really shitty.

Mrsjones17 · 01/11/2017 09:27
