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

Thank you!! x

I ov'd on CD16 which was Nov 25th (according to Clue). We DTD twice the week before the run-up to FW, then on the 22nd, 24th and 25th. The 25th I was going to leave, but funnily enough I said to DH, come let's try again tonight! He was quite tired, bless him.

Even though I've resisted Ni - I still don't believe my eyes! Will be testing again soon to make sure!!

Ni really sorry it was a BFN :-(

Runner - agree it is as dark and strong, maybe not more so though. Could you still be ovulating / not yet ovulated but peaking? That's what I read loads about. Compare to mine below, which I think are getting lighter (left is yesterday's strongest) two to the right 6am and today at lunch (although I had had a lot of water), so it's all over for me i think. Green end side is the control line. Do your boobs feel any different?

Mor -are you at work?? God help you if you are! How exciting.

I nearly threw up on the train this morning, it was so hot. My nips really hurt and my boobs feel heavy.

Woo hoo Mor, that's a really clear line!! So exciting!!

Ah, my feed doesn't refresh so I'm responding to messages late!!

Mor that's amazing news!!! And you were so calm and resistant to testing...I'm inspired by your approach! Haha totally know what you and Bunch mean...you need another pee stick this evening to really convince you!! What day did you ovulate and what days in the fertile window did you dtd?

Don't be deflated Runner, keep positive!

Bunch - did you not trust it?!! I don't trust it!!! Once I can, I'll be doing some more pissing!

Runner back away from the sticks!!! Or set yourself a limit like two a day max only!! Otherwise you'll be changing your mind and your emotions every few hours. That's too exhausting!!

I'm still waiting for a broomstick to appear!

Thank you Shelb Bubbles

Can someone please tell me what to do now? I can't focus on anything!

YAY! AMAZING news. So excited for you Mor!!!

Er, really?! I can't quite believe it!! I'm like a fish out of water, I just don't know what to do with myself! Even with all the symptoms, I had convinced myself that there was no way I could be and I was expecting AF at any point!!

More I t's there congratulations!!!!!!

Xxx

It's there, right?!!

Er....ladies???!!!!! I caved, Ovia was telling me to test, so I did!! er....

Don't know what to do with myself!

Most people test at 12 dpo depending on what type of test you have.

If you're using a FRER then it would definitely pick up a pregnancy by now.

POAS, POAS

I am 13 dpo Runner (well, according to Clue)

Bunch - glad to hear that! We'll see...

Just caved and did another opk. The line is now barely visible. I've had quite a lot to drink which will account for some of it but I think my surge is now over.

Last month I was excited at this point. Now I'm kinda deflated.

Mor you've basically just described me. POAS already!!!!

do a practice test

I admire your restraint. How many dpo do you think you are?

I'm running out of patience rapidly Runner!!!

My cycle has been what the medics term 'regular', but I did have a 32 day one before, so I'm just holding out till tomorrow morning! tears hair out

Eee Mor how have you not tested yet?! I'd be completely crackers by now!

Well, I've decided to go with Ovia as both yesterday and today look clearly positive to me. so much for people missing the hormone peak, mine seems to be going on forever!

A few more:
12. An itchy scalp (apparently one woman had this)
13. Spots on face (around mouth and chin)
14. Sweating. Bunch - I think you mentioned this, tmi sorry, but I could smell my pits (after deodorant and no excessive workout!) the other day.

My sense of smell hasn't altered though.

I'm going to feel like a right twat when I come on tomorrow, aren't I?!

Morning folks!

Aw Ni - so she hasn't arrived yet?? You never know, you could just be testing too early?

Runner, Pink, I'd carry on as normal next month whether we were at the rents or not if it wasn't for the fact that there will be so many occasions where we'll be expected to drink! The 'I've got a banging headache, so I'm driving' excuse will only get me so far! I don't really want to miss a month if I can help it...I dunno, maybe I'll just carry on (with no pressure to dtd every other day!) and carry on drinking as well.

Starky - would love to see your work!

Just been on a thread that asks women what symptoms they had before their BFP's:

1. Gas - check
2. Bloating - check
3. AF type cramps - check
4. Heartburn - check. (Had this on and off for a few days)
5. Breathlessness - check. (Just climbed to the top of our stairs and needed to pause!)
6. Crying at the most ridiculous things - check (Disney film and for no apparent reason!)
7. Heavy boobs - not sore, but they do feel slightly heavier
8. Sleeplessness - check (could be down to bloating, but I have struggled to get to sleep because of discomfort for the last week or so).
9. CM is now somewhere in the middle of being watery and glue-y (sorry, tmi)

With a list like that, you can see why I'm driving myself insane!

Runner I think today's is fatter but not sure it's darker than yesterday's.

Ni sorry to hear about the BFN.

Starky would love to see some pics of the newest creation!

OH didn't take much convincing to DTD last night, let's hope it stays that way!

I thought about it but I think I'm just going to do another one this evening.

Ovia which must be flipping out by now has now moved my fertile window again. It now thinks I'm still fertile until tomorrow. And I'm testing on 21st.
I'm starting to regret using the opk's now
