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.

When a friend who has just had a baby falls off the radar 😔 I suppose I'll never know what it's like. Sorry for the depressing post.

Justwaitingforaline · 18/11/2017 19:02

Hugs sponge, that’s always a shitter. Be nice to yourself this evening x

justmeonly · 19/11/2017 11:06

Just noticing how full this thread has become and I get the feeling a other will fill as quickly. Now cd25 and minimal sign af due to appear. Had cramping and some boob pain midweek which got my hopes up but now nothing. Last night i was told of a friend's friend who lost her little one at 20 weeks 2 weeks ago. I am so thoroughly depressed for that lady. And I'm at least 11 / 12 years older than her. If I manage to conceive I don't think I'd cope with something like that happening. Ttc is a rubbish rubbish process

Christ, someone start a new thread quick. There are people conceiving on their first month trying that I need to glare at.

My period has finally turned up at 18 dpo. I'm not sure if it means that my new suppliment regime has successfully lengthen my lutual phase or if my body's just fucked up from my miscarriage.

SoozC · 19/11/2017 14:55

I saw that thread, @Si1ver. Fuck! People who conceive first month telling the rest of us how to get pregnant? Fuckofffuckofffuckoff

SoozC · 19/11/2017 15:02

Maybe we should call our new thread 'We don't want your advice, we've got plenty of experience thanks'.

Si1ver · 19/11/2017 15:15

"more experience that you could shake a used test at"

"We've peed on more sticks than you've had got dinners"

Si1ver · 19/11/2017 15:16

*hot dinners

NimbleKnitter · 19/11/2017 15:23

But also - there’s no effing advice there.

It’s basically a self-important brag thread. Twats

TheGrumpySquirrel · 19/11/2017 15:47

Ugh!!!!!!!! Don’t dare look

LimpLettice · 19/11/2017 16:13

That thread can fottfsofatfosm. Seriously. New thread would be great and I think there’s enough of us to fill em fast. I’ve not worked out how to amend Juneys spreadsheet though.

Static smiley on clearblue today means 3 days consecutive shagging now, we’re already tired! We have mum friends over for a big roast, I think wine is in order.

DoAsDreamersDo · 19/11/2017 16:21

Eurgh, that thread was a bit preachy wasn’t it. Made me feel like a failure for reading it Angry not helped by being in a ridiculously bad mood myself. I’ve got over a week until AF is here and could really do with not feeling like this all week or I’m likely to get sacked from work Grin.

LovePinaColada · 19/11/2017 17:08

Help ladies!

I am currently on Day 15 of AF (😢) and had 7 days of light spotting before. My fertile week is due to start tomorrow - can I still be fertile whilst AF is in town?! SO annoying - we had plans to DTD all the time to really do all we can, but haven't once so far this cycle. 😢 Any advice welcome! My body is being a bloody nightmare.

micropig · 19/11/2017 17:50

@LovePinaColada so sorry to hear that AF has stuck around so long! Has that ever happened to you before? To be honest I'd call the NHS24 or the doctor to ask about that just to be on the safe side. Hope you're okay x

micropig · 19/11/2017 17:51

No news with me, getting to the end of fertile week and already getting hopeful 😡

Tiredofbeingsotired · 19/11/2017 18:55

Evening all. AF arrived this morning. Which is crappy but I stocked up on OPKs on the 3 for 2 in Boots so I’m ready for the next cycle

However, I’ve been at a family party this afternoon, and DS Aunt looked me up and down and asked if my (admittedly loose) dress was hiding something other than a “few extra pounds” I brazened it out and said wine and cake mainly, and MIL went politely batshit at her, but I feel really crap: infertile and fat. Gee. Thanks

minime2017 · 19/11/2017 19:01

Stealth boast thread - have just read it and much eye rolling followed... blahhhh. Af cramps starting right on cue 14 days from beginning of peak opk so what the actual feck is wrong with me?? Think there's something on the theory that over 40s ov on day of positive opk.

LimpLettice · 19/11/2017 20:25

I started a new thread but I’m buggered if I can link from the app. Can anyone else?

New thread!

LovePinaColada · 19/11/2017 21:08

Thanks @micropig! Nightmare at the moment, it's been doing it the past few months. Need to get back to the docs! So annoyed I may miss this fertile week - blahhhhhh! It just drains me as well (literally). 🙈
