Thread 2. #Ttc1. We weren't supposed to start yet, but the starting pistol (penis) has gone off. Join our journey as we navigate the ovia boat, pissy sticks and symptoms spotting

Thanks Pink I'm doubting it though due to excitement. DH and I, PIL and my parents are off to Paris tomorrow to celebrate my birthday. But due to the huge giveaway of me not drinking tomorrow we're also telling them the big news. Yes it's early but If the worse is to happen I eat our families support (both mums have been through MC) and it'll make the trip extra special. So lots of excitement tonight eek!

Morning ladies

Stark I totally agree about preparing for a negative. I've been surprised how much this TTC malarkey is playing with my mind, so am preparing for a negative later this month given that's the worst case scenario.

Bunch, hope you manage to get a better nights sleep tonight.

My suggested test date on Ovia also doesn't match up with when next period is due, but not sure why.

Shelb I will forgive you based in the fact that I will probably test early anyway.

Implantation is supposed to happen (if it's going to) on about dpo7 so from dpo8 the chemicals are starting to appear in your body but most people won't test positive until dpo12 and some won't test positive until later.

Leonie I'm the same, according to ovia my period is due weds but says not to test until 19th - sorry runner it's been brought forward a day! I'd say yeah test whenever, they reckon 7-8dpo don't they?

I wake up most nights so I dread to think what I'll be like when I'm pregnant. Ovia says 10 days until I test but period not due until 22nd... Not sure what I'll do. Ovia shifted my fertile window a few days due to CM data but now test date doesn't match up with my AF due date. Can I test before my period is due? Last two periods were of different lengths anyway so it might be right.

Morning all.

Bubba I spoke to the GP and midwife unit on Monday. I don't have an appointment yet but should expect a call after Christmas to arrange one. Go just gave me the chat about what not to eat etc and I've got the midwife 24 hour number too.

Has it sunk in anymore yet Mor? I've done another test this morning , line still getting darker (obviously I'm an idiot). I had an awful nights sleep having bad dreams about the pregnancy and freezing then had to pee at 4am. I need to calm the brain down.

Morning,

Agree with stark prepare for a negative then will be a surprise if it isn't. We are all still in early days I think aren't we?

Well I'd had definite pinching last night and bit this morning on my lower left side, which I'm putting down to ovulation (36 hours ish after the first +opk). Nips feel fine today you'll be pleased to know.

Hmm... Interesting article ni

Don't get me wrong. I haven't given up sex for the month I think I'm just convincing myself that there is no way I can be upduffed this month because I really want to be and don't want to be disappointed.

CD33 AF due date and still nothing. I caved and tested again (although rather soon after peeing so didn't really help myself with a good sample) Still says no! Come on AF!! I need to start with the next cycle!!

Runner, they say in the sperm meets egg plan to dtd the day you get positive opk, the day after, and the day after. Then skip a day and dtd the day after that. I wasn't able to do this this cycle cos the bloody opk sticks never caught my surge! But it's worth a go...so I guess that takes you back to fertile actions and not tww?!

Yay! shelb we're still synchronised of course that constitutes a piss stick party! Here's hoping for two BFPs!

Shelb my guess would be that your spotting was due to messed up hormones after coming off the pill. I don't think it would be possible for you to get your hormone spoke after ovulation... Isn't that what causes the egg to make a break for freedom?

I was originally Christmas Day according to Ovia. It changed when I did a opk though.

Ovia says 20th same as runner! Does that constitute a piss stick partayyyyyy?

I'm confused ladies. You maybe remember me banging on about spotting last week CD 17 and 18. It must have been an ovulation bleed with all the other feelings, but then I didn't get a +opk until CD21. The bleed is when the egg actually rips through the ovary apparently, so I'm wondering what happened between that and the +opk?? Any thoughts?

Mor that's really lovely

Ovia says to test on the 16th will be testing early I am sure!

Bunch early pregnancy doesn't sound too great! Have you spoken to doc yet?

I think we need a testing roll call.

Ovia says I need to test on 20th so I'll probably be sneaking tests from late next week

I've just checked and am due to test on 30th. There must be someone before me?!

Aww Mor that's a lovely way to have shared the news. The bloating is no better 4 days on. I look pregnant with the amount I have! I've been cramping quite a bit today and still now. It's really rather uncomfortable. Had a bath which helps ease them but now I'm out they're back. Also was up at 3.15am for a pee last night, I hope that doesn't happen again tonight. FX for a sticky bean for both of us. Are you using the Ovia pregnancy app?

Ladies I'm glad to see the OPK obsession is spreading. And I second, who is next to test?

CONGRATULATIONS mor another BFP! So exciting! How did you resist testing for so long?! I am debating testing already and only on cd21!

Decided to check cm today and it is somewhere between watery and glue. Am trying to hold back poas until Saturday but that will probably still be too early! Xx

Thank you all those who've congratulated me! Hasn't sunk in yet, although I've done another test and the line is stronger now

Bunch - my period was on the 10th Nov, I have of course told DH - I wrapped up the two sticks with a bit of red ribbon and waited till he got home to give him his early Christmas present! He is shocked but v happy!

Trying to not get ahead of myself as it's a way to go till the magic 12 week mark...

Terrible bloating this evening ladies!!

Cheese and smells!! Who knew they were on the symptom spotting list?!

Just having a look back and trying to figure out who is next to test?!

shel yeah I think it was around my fertile time but the soreness lasted a good week or so

Hi bubba was it after you ovulated? Mine have been fine up until (I'm assuming) ovulation has passed, but apparently it's quite common.

Yh Shel my boobs/nips were really sore and last month was my first month off the pill.. Never experienced that before really..

I need to stop googling stuff punches self in face. I'm really irritable this evening and I've had to take my bra off my boobs are that sore - think it's my body responding to hormones for the first time in ten years!----

Pink that's looking good.

Leonie I'm crap with the CM stuff.

stark get em cracked open!
