Part the third:

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.

TheGrumpySquirrel · 12/12/2017 07:31

I know, I am a terrible POAS addict! I couldn't wait, felt a bit off after wine last night ...

TheGrumpySquirrel · 12/12/2017 07:33

Good luck rhi and everyone 💗 I had given up hope after cycle 6 post mc as I thought something must be wrong. Will be curious to see what our test results show tomorrow...

Wow! Huge congratulations grumpy!! Been a long while since we had a bfp. Yay!!!!!!

LexieJean · 12/12/2017 13:17

Could it be true @grumpysquirrel ??!! Amazing news! I knew we were due a +
Congratulations!

Update post clinic visit- I’m booked for my day 21 bloods, HSG, another internal US and have valid reasons for OH to finally quit smoking! I don’t feel closer but it’s a step in the right direction.

LexieJean · 12/12/2017 16:37

Gah! Really old friend moaning she can’t fit into any of her winter coats- because of her bump. 🤬

RhiBee29 · 12/12/2017 18:37

Opk is nearly there, lots of ewcm and pains which I think means I'll ovulate tomorrow CD14. Since mc I've ovulated around cd17 but the last 2 cycles I've taken vit b complex and I think this has helped bring it forward. My 2 bfp's have happened when I ovulated on cd14. Have updated DH on the dtd schedule. Feeling positive!

SoozC · 12/12/2017 19:22

Yay for feeling positive!

I am too, although that's A Bad Thing because af and a bfn are surely due! But I've been having pressure in my lower abdomen, just spent a while flicking back through my ff and seeing if this symptom popped up on non-preg cycles and couldn't see it...but it did occur last cycle when I got my bfp! So, of course, I'm imagining that I'm preggers again.

Roll on Thursday - test day!

Whenisitmytime · 12/12/2017 22:26

Congratulations @Thegrumpsquirrel
Fingers crossed @soozc
Have fertility dr on Friday - hopefully get DHs SA results, been 4 wks tomorrow since he left in his sample!!
