We weren't supposed to start till January! But we did!
Join us as we ttc #1 after pill/contraception etc.

We've got a boat, it makes frequent stops for wine, pissy sticks, wool, slings, cake and all manner of shit we don't need yet but we buy anyway!

Bollocks and bumsickles! Ovia is now saying I'm on my last but one fertile day (having missed my most fertile day) and I've only had sex once in that time... Also, my fertile period must have started only a couple of days after my period.
Stupid body!

Pink Superdrug. More expensive but apparently they're good Smile

Runner05 · 06/12/2015 16:56

Gah!!! I can't, we have the kids. Will have to pin OH later. Also, wtf, this is way early. I'm not even supposed to be fertile until Tuesday???

Pinklily1 · 06/12/2015 16:56

PS Runner - where are those OPK sticks from? Look nice and straightforward

Pinklily1 · 06/12/2015 16:55

Woo hoo Runner and Starky - both brilliant bits of news in their own ways!

Runner that looks really strong!

Runner05 · 06/12/2015 16:54

Yay! Stark

Here's another photo. I don't think the last one worked

Weird thing to be pleased about but I've come on! Woooo! I'm SO relieved! I thought my body had heard the conversation with Dh about actually ttc and had decided against it! It has made me realise how much I want to be pregnant though! In case I was wavering, now I'm definetly not and will be ttc with gusto!

Shelb - thanks, that's really interesting, will speak to the doc next time I go.

Runner - does Ovia think you are having too much sex??! Surely no amount of sex is too much when TTC?

I'm hoping to pin OH down again tonight Grin I've decided regular sex all month is the way forward for us otherwise I would become too stressy if we specifically focused on an extra amount during the fertile window. I'll probably change my tune when we are knackered at the end of the month Smile

Runner05 · 06/12/2015 16:41

Has any one else had Ovia tell them to save their sex drive for the fertile window?!

... Fertility score has started to rise today and with it my crazy score. Ovia really should add that as a thing Hmm

Runner05 · 06/12/2015 16:35

Lol well I've got 30 to get me started plus the 5 I already had... I should think that will get me through this month, we'll see about next month lol

shelbTa · 06/12/2015 16:08

Runner - once you opk you'll never look back! So insightful

runner do loads of ovulation tests, at least then you'll know! For scientific purposes! Grin

Sorry for the BFN Ni but you're not out yet.

Bunch you just stay and chat to us, we already know you're a crazy bird Smile

Failed to acquire sperms yesterday damnit... I'm going to have to work extra hard tonight, although fertile window doesn't start on Tuesday I want to make extra sure. I might start doing ovulation tests today because I'm super obsessive Grin

shelbTa · 06/12/2015 13:34

Bunch no I didn't pillow but I did lie for ten mins - OH is struggling a bit with my obsessiveness i think (though I've tried to reign it in) and think that would push him over the edge.

Stark - so strange. My money is on it just not showing up on the piss stick cos it's too early or you being poorly has knocked it out of sync (though fingers crossed for the first one obvs). And yeah - he's been cornered, like a lamb to the slaughter poor sod!

I Googled 'phantom period' and was horrified for about 5 minutes when it told me I was menopausal! Then Googled 'period symptoms but no period' which made me feel better! Going to get Dh up in a bit he's still asleep and get him to take me to the shops to get some cheapy sticks, will do one tomorrow if period still hasn't arrived. I've been so regular for the past year or so that an absent period has confused me, still wondering if it was because I was poorly, or if my hormones are playing games. It's a mystery! Fully expect to just come on as normal next monthwhich will irritate me as I'm going to have to get a load of ovulation tests now to see if I actually ovulate this month!

bunch I think an early scan is a lovely idea but I do see what you mean about added worry, I'd be the same. Glad you've got a massive supply of pissy sticks en route though, that will ease your mind hopefully.

How are we all feeling today? Have you managed to corner your dp yet shelb ?

BunchOfBobs · 06/12/2015 13:16

Haha woohoo Shelb. Did you pillow afterwards?

shelbTa · 06/12/2015 12:18

Mission accomplished.

pink - yes re headaches you sound exactly the same as me. They are hormonal migraines (took me years to get a diagnosis) and paracetamol won't touch them as its actually the blood vessels in your brain expanding - Google it. You need a vaso constrictor (like sumatriptan) and honestly it gets rid of them straight away. I really suffer with them. Speak to your doc.

My talk app and my typing are having serious issues today.

BunchOfBobs · 06/12/2015 12:15

The link totally made me gag a bit too! But very useful as I've certainly looked up photos while studying my own. grim.

I've had the pregnancy app since I got my bfp. Grin it's a nice app.

Pinklily1 · 06/12/2015 11:55

Also ladies, since I have come off the pill, I get a banging headache about 1 - 2 weeks after my period has finished. Paracetemol doesn't do anything to shift it. I know its just hormones but does anyone else get this?

Ramp up the powers of persuasion Shelb!

I revisited the CM site this morning, stupidly whilst eating my breakfast, and it did make me gag a bit. I know its all normal bodily functions and everything, but CM is a bit gross isn't it?!

shelbTa · 06/12/2015 11:33

Haha China he beat me to breakfast. He's having NONE of it today I tell you, I'm going to have to bring out the big guns soon!
