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

I'm in my "window" apparently ...according to the app. I am yet to recover from looking at that cervical mucus site

SHELLB FEED HIM!
I woke up DH with a cooked breakfast. He's a sure thing

Bunch have you downloaded Ovia pregnancy? That might give you more information about what's going on at the moment...Might answer some questions for you?!

Thanks New.

Pink I do. Inspire to my GP preconception and they said once I have bfp to call reception and they'll book me in with midwife. Friday was just too soon to do so, I'll be calling tomorrow and I'll be super nervous about it. DH is doing the last bits to the kitchen today so I've taken myself off for a bath to calm down and plan embroidery that I want to do.

Thanks shelb. That looks positive to me. You've got all day and evening to work your magic on him.

Looks positive to me Shelb! Find OH quick sharp and pin him down!!

Bunch you don't sound selfish at all. I suppose this is the weird part between getting a BFP and having the first scan, where it's all so new. Do you have to make a doctors appointment to sort the usual scan out etc?

I tried the pillow under hips malarkey last night. I've never felt so ridiculous and OH was in stitches, but if it helps then I will be doing it every time!

Congratulations bunch!!! This is so exciting! Haha to looking at your tummy to see if it's grown! might be a few more weeks yet.

I had a break from here for a bit so lovely news to come back to.
I'm on CD45 no AF! I'm trying to relax and forget. Did a test Friday and it was negative. Wondering when I should go to the doctor about ridiculously long cycle. I feel like they'll just tell me to wait though.

You don't sound selfish bunch at all in fact I'd say it's totally understandable that you want to talk to people and keep checking 'it's still there' as its all still so new and fragile. Just hang tight, try not to worry as much as you can. Could you go for a walk or something to take your mind off it?

Ni sorry it's a bfn. Maybe it's a bit early and isn't showing? How do you feel physically, any new symptoms?

Ok this looks like a definite positive opk today doesn't it? OH is deliberately dodging me though and isn't succumbing, damn him!!!

Helping?? I mean looking at.

I definitely think so Ni but if we go on and are told "it's only showing 5 weeks and no heartbeat it's a mmc" then Christmas will be really shitty!

I feel really restless today. I want to do something pregnancy related but there's nothing I can do, can't talk to anyone can't buy anything. I keep helping my tummy to see if it's grown haha. I am a crazy woman.
We've bought another 50 tests so I'm good for the next 2 months of daily testing- though I will try and limit myself to every other day hah. I got Paris next week so I may pack for that to keep myself busy.

I'm sorry I sound so selfish and moody.

Talk to us bunch. It sounds like having the scan pre Christmas would help to stop some worries? ie little peanut has definitely stuck and is staying put for the long haul! Don't you think?

Sorry to hear that Ni. Though you're not out until the witch arrives.

It's a private scan I'll be going for but I don't know what date to do it now. I'm also desperate to tell someone so I can talk to them but DH doesn't want to tell anyone. We tell our parents on Thursday though so it's not long but I can't exactly talk to my mum about the things I can with the bf.

The pissy sticks say no this morning ladies! Bloody shame! Ooh cute Christmas emojis [santa]

Lol Bunch you crazy bird

I'm really impatient Bunch, so if there was any option for an earlier scan I would take that!

Shelb, fingers crossed its ovulation!

Aww bless you bunch! Yeah the scan will make it really real. What kind of scan is it, a private one? Don't leave us, stay on this board!

Well I've been awake most of the night with what I can only describe as really bad period pains and bloating. Something is up, could be ovulation from what I've extensively read.

I am Pink but now thinking it should be after Christmas as the last thing I want is to hear bad news on Christmas Eve. Though I don't want to wait the extra week. It's sensible though.... Isn't it?

Are you still thinking of an early scan Bunch? I'm sure that will make it all very real!

Ladies if you think the crazy is just in the TTC stage you are wrong.
Got up this morning went for a pee. Then panicked as I hadn't tested it "what if I'm not pregnant anymore, I don't feel sick like yesterday, my boobs aren't as sore". DH laughed at me. I managed to squeeze enough wee out to dip and phew in still preggo. All aboard the crazy train.

Apparently yesterday's queasiness is just nerves as it kicked in again once I saw the 4 lines (ahem, I may have done 2 tests "just to be sure"). DH now purchasing a tonne of cheapy stocks so I don't bankrupt us.

Jesus ni that link!!! Useful though.

It's so easy to get obsessed isn't it, I swore I wouldn't, but I am!

Pink - don't worry about CM, you'll just notice it a lot more now when you go to the loo! As soon as you get the egg white stuff, then basically jump on your man and tell him surf's up (i.e. ideal conditions for swimmers, or er, surfers. Not to be confused with the crimson tide.)

Missed loads again!!

Wow Bunch - nothing like seeing a great big 'Pregnant' in bold in front of your eyes, eh?! Congratulations!! Yes, and please stick around to tell us all about things!

Had a crap night's sleep last night - (tmi) so full of er, wind!!! Couldn't get a comfortable position at all. Bloated and windy. So attractive right now! Only a few more days till the Witch puts me out of my misery.

Ni - thank you for the link! But yes, it's gross

Thanks for that link Ni by thanks I mean it was really interesting but also made me feel a little bit grose

Bunch you're still adjusting. You're allowed to have really weird thoughts. You'll love it once you get over the shock x

Thanks Ni, that has helped!

Thanks China. Two months I guess but it was more a "let's not use contraception and see what happens" approach. I'm still in shock. Had a moment of panic earlier and wondering the weirdest things. When will I start to love "it". We're thinking of booking an early scan at 7 weeks so it'll be a Xmas eve scan eek!
