The First Timer Scardicats!!!!!

[chickenchaser]

Hi Ladies

There are a few of us coming over from WTT who are finding all this a little bit scary. So here is a thread, for those who are TTC but aren't ready for the full on and sometimes obsessive baby making.

Please feel free to share your stories and ask those 'silly' questions you feel you can't ask on the main TTC board.

And for those full on experience TTC please feel free to give us your advice but please be gentle with us, after all we are a group of TTC Scardicats

EDIT - I'm happy to introduce to you the Scardicats. This thread has also come to be known as the lucky thread and the fruit salad In no particular order

Yeeeeeeey I'm posting on the TTC board!!

Ok so I'm going to repost my post - sorry to repeat myself.


Ok TTC chickies. TMI warning.

How the hell do you read cervical mucous? I know it's there but how the hell do I know what's fertile? I've never head "stretchy" (wtf?!) mucous. It has gone mega watery mid cycle before. I'm so confused! Any mucous gurus out there? I'm not a charter and I haven't a flying monkey what my cycles are. I'd like to be able to at least read the best indicator of fertility! Does it have to be that watery way for me to be fertile? I'm so confused!

 

[chickenchaser]

I thought about asking if someone could do us a flashing banner, what do you think?
Also do we want a members list?

 

[RileysMummy]

:wave: thought i'd crash although we're not really ttc til July lol xx

Ooooo flashing banner sounds awesome!

 

[mrsswaffer]

Hehe! I seem to have joined loads of TTC/NTNP threads since starting NTNP 5 hours ago!!

 

[Banana2012]

Can I also be another not-quite TTC yet member?!

Hi ladies, congrats on jumping on the ttc train! I wish you all the best of luck. There was a request for a siggy, so I have made this if any of you are interested in using it.

I understand if it's abit too big, I would be happy to make a smaller banner for you if you like.

Here is the code if you want to use it, just remove the space at the end!

Hello!!! I'd like to crash as well... we'll be starting next month I"m so glad you did this. It'll be a nice way for all of us ( who already know each other and are familiar with the names ) to easily switch over!
And xlouloux I love the smaller one! I can't wait to be able to add it

 

[NurseSooz]

My SIL is in labour! Chucking the green eyed monster aside and feeling really excited!

Your turn soon


What do you ladies think of the banner, I like it but not sure if it is a bit negative after all we aren't scared of TTC just the whole obsession. Any ideas?

Yey! I think we should all gather here and feel the TTC vibes!!

Being in the TTC forum is making me all the more impatient - I can't wait! I know in my head that it's not long,but the end of June seems so far away right now!

Hi NurseSooz & all of you other newcomers- welcome to the TTC boards

I would highly recommend Toni Weschler's book "Taking Charge of your Fertility". It goes into great detail about cervical mucus amongst a million other useful topics for those of us TTC.

Basically, stretchy means similar to the consistency of eggwhites... if you find your CM does not really get to the "stretchy" or "eggwhite" stage, your most fertile day is when your CM is most "wet". I really recommond TCOYF though, even if you are dont think you are interested in charting, it's a great book and I wish I had read it and started charting immediately when I started TTC-almost 1 year ago... I feel like I wasted so many months not knowing exactly when I was fertile, etc...

Good luck in your TTC journey and hope you get that BFP quick!

I'm right there with you! Even though it's next month, it seems SOOOOOO far away lol.

TCOYF is a great book.
