1st month TTC

I had to go and collect the FRERs from the sorting office, so didn't use FMU... When I got home I thought it'd be fine as I needed to pee again but thought wrong - it was sooooo pale and diluted! So got a BFN but not surprised at all. I have 2 Clearblue Digis as well and AF is due Thursday - so if it's not here by Friday I'll use one of those!

Still feel really sick today so if I'm not PG then I'm quite ill

Thanks finn! I am definitely imagining things at the moment....that's what I am telling myself anyway, don't want to get my hopes up thwn be disappointed!

How'd it go jess?

ThingsThatGoHump - jabber on here, that's what we're for!

Wow jess how exciting! Make sure you update us. And you too finn. I reckon I am two weeks away from testing (think I ov'd Fri/Sat) and am already on the symptom spotting bandwagon! I dont know how I am going to gwt through 2 weeks! DH is away too so no one to jabber on at

Fingers crossed for you Jess!!

Hey all - how's everyone holding up? I read on another board that someone thought the first month of TTC was the hardest in terms of waiting... I certainly hope that's the case!

Good luck Jess - hopefully you'll be the first of a rush of cycle 1 BFP's!

I'm still 6 days away from POAS/AF day and I'm already annoying myself with obsessive knicker-watching...

On the plus side, if ERTD does appear, I can drink again!

Fingers X'd for y'all!

It's 10am-8pm "optimum testing time" for OPKs so 5 should be fine Kitty :)

thanks for the luck/crossed fingers!

Look forward to any news, Jess-fingers crossed for you! No sign of AF or Ovulating yet-very confusing. Am also finding it tough finding the same time to use the stick everyday as I barely have the time to go to the loo anyway! My instructions say I can test up to 8pm. Does anyone now if I am alright to test say 5pm everyday for OPKs? I heard on here somewhere that midday was best but I am really struggling with that at work.

Good luck for POAS, HippyJess! Symptoms do sound promising!

Hope your AFs sort themselves out sharpish guys, must be really confusing!

I'm continuing to symptom spot in spite of myself. I know that chances of me having conceived this month are super mega tiny small but I know the chance is still there and it's driving me crazy. So much so I'm planning on doing a FRER tomorrow just to make sure! 'Cos I think I may have had that implantation bleed a few days ago, my boobs have gotten sore since then, and today I'm tired and nauseous. It could very well just be pre-AF stuff - but I guess I'll find put tomorrow!

Hmmm I wonder if my OH will treat me like that lol!!

Regarding AF being half a day, it is quite strange. I was expecting mine to be mega heavy and painful but it although it was quite heavy the first 2 days I've had no cramps! Thank god, all I remember from my periods pre-pill was 7 days solid cramps and very heavy periods!! So far I'm 4 days in and I could see it being finished tomorrow!

Was out with 2 friends today who are both in relationships just slightly less time than myself and the topic moves to babies and marriage etc! Was so hard to keep my mouth shut and not let anything slip but at the same time be part of the conversation like nothing's going on!

Yea itl be interesting to see how long they keep up the act of looking after us once we get our bfp's - my DH has sworn blind hes gonna pamper me throughout the whole pregnancy. I do not believe this for one minute. Lol

So my af kind of disappeared today and now im confused.... Was it my af? Surely 4 days after coil was out it wudnt be a bleed due to the coil being removed but why did it only last for half a day?

Haha, yeah, we'll see...I am sure once I've woken him up puking every day for a few months he might have a different view

December 5th so it's technically very possible which makes it worse! Thats cute of your DH, hope he keeps it up

When do you think AF is due jess? I've enjoyed breakfast in bed two mornings in a row as DH wanted me to lie flat as long as possible after dtd Put up the xmas decs last night and was moving sofa and got a look and ' should you be doing that in your condition? ' ..... pretty sure I'm not in any condition yet as I only (think) ov'd yesterday, but at least I know I'll be looked after when I am

Symptom spotting this morning, because last night and this morning I've had some spotting. Trying not to think it might be an implantation bleed because I don't want to get my hopes up!

That's good MrsW! I did have a normal cycle but that's because mine was the non-hormonal one :) glad your AF turned up!

Glad I'm not the only one blatantly pining after children I'm around

I'm now secretly hoping that by some miracle my AF never turns up and I've managed to get preggo this cycle... Super unlikely! Will have fun officially trying next month though so that'd be a benefit I keep saying it, but I really hope we all get our BFPs sharpish!

Good news then MrsW! Mine has been here 3 days but already seems to be quite light, been a pleasant surprise!! :) Enjoy your wine!! I had mine last night lol!!

That sounds promising thingsthatgohump, fingers crossed for u this month :-)

Just sat watching x factor, with a glass of

Yay my first af since coil being removed on wednesday just arrived! So chuffed as it means i can now start figuring out my cycle and we do have a chance of a bfp for xmas

... And it also means im still working lol

Awwww! I have niece's 4th birthday party tomorrow; you've reminded me to try not to look so obvious when with them! Still negative on OPKs

at ovaries exploding.... spent all morning at nephew's birthday party, running around a bowling alley, chasing kids and dancing to gangnam style, fun times! Think I am ovulating sometime today/tomorrow but not too sure on my cycle yet. I never seem to have that much cm but what I have got today/yesterday is stretching 4-5cm before it breaks (sorry if tmi!). Hopefully this is my equivalent of ewcm and I am fertile this weekend as DH is away for a week from Monday (everyone is different I have read, so you shouldnt necessarily expect 'normal', just judge by changes to your own cycle...hope this is true as having googled ewcm and seen the pics mine looks nothing like as copious!)

Next AF for me due on Christmas Day, so hoping for a Christmas BFP instead!!! Good luck to all for December cycles!

Did u have af's with ur coil jess? Cant remember if uv already said or not...

Ok so thiswhole waiting thing is getting frustrating already and im only on day 4! Lol. Peed on an ovulation stick every day since coil was out as i havnt a clue where i am in my cycle atm. Negative negative negative :-(
