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

Welcome Dub. I think some people come straight off the pill and then end up pregnant, so never have a proper AF before getting upduffed, so you never know!

Glad you are enjoying Paris Bunch!

Hi everyone, welcome dub!

Get in there stark!

I know what you mean runner swaying back and forth, I've now got a metallic taste in my mouth and massive nips. But I'm having some cheese (including Brie) and wine tonight as I'm still not convinced and technically it won't do harm at this stage.

TTC journeys I mean, not etc!

Hi all, can I join please? I've been lurking for a while and it's been so great to hear about your etc journeys! I'm fairly new to this, ttc #1, age 34, OH age 33.

Came of the pill on 20th Nov after about 17 years on it eek! Currently being ridiculous about symptom spotting in the tww even though I haven't had a proper af yet!

Haha I love that Starky! It is possible as I was awake 31 hours before dtd that day!! Thanks for thinking of me. Having a lovely time in Paris, despite not being able to eat the best cheese, Pate or drink Vin! I'm being spoiled and very Molly coddled- quite annoying actually. Lots of "sit down,take the lift" etc. Got a proper telling off from both mums when I threw myself on the metro a bit late and got trapped between the doors. Pregnancy boobs are ugly!! My areola are huge! (TMI!). The bloating is out of this world but I did have a missed call and voicemail off the midwife which cheered me up. I have however stopped feeling the need to test every day.

I hope TTC isn't driving you all crazy. It'll be worth it in the end, and then you can join the very crazy pregnancy club with me and Mor!

Runner - fingers and toes crossed for you

I still can't get over how we spend years trying not to get pregnant, and then when we do TTC its not a case of just looking at OH and there's a baby onboard

I'm trying to appear spontaneous when its time to DTD but struggling a bit. Sunday afternoon is not common DTD time in this house, but I will have my wicked way come hell or high water

Aww Stark that sucks, you're just going to have to pounce on him and demand he performs regardless of how tired he is lol

Still swinging between thinking I'm pregnant and not the annoying thing is that even if I get BFN on Friday I'll still be in limbo for another week waiting to see if AF turns up.

I'm starting to hate ttc

Haha Starky, for a minute there I thought he got to go to Argentina for work!!

Bubba - looks like an evap line to me unfortunately.

Runner - loving the mutant mince pies!

Starky - are you still aiming to pin OH down at some point to DTD?

Ovia has my fertile window starting today, so OH has got his work cut out for the next week. Am going to do another OPK shortly to see what it looks like.

Hi Shelb I'm not feeling too bad now. Nausea has completely gone. My AF isn't due until about 25 if I go by Ovia. I'm on a long cycle of about 30 odd days and I ovulated really early so I don't think mine can be impending AF hope not anyway.

Hope yours doesn't turn out to be AF although if it is at least it will mean that you're now on a natural cycle x

Runner I feel really rough - very nauseous and still got a line on my opk. I've read that both can indicate an imminent AF and with ovia putting mine at weds I'm braced for it.

Do you still feel sick?

Shelb mine was somewhere between my hip and my tummy for all of the aches and pains.

I think nausea this morning was probably cold related.

Have fun with your OH today Tudor

Morning ladies! Love those cutie pies Runner and I too have a slight pain on my left side, not sure what it is but it's definitely in my uterus.

DP's birthday today so holding out testing again until sometime on Wednesday (when I'll be 14DPO), because sadly I've no tests

Was it near your hip/groin area runner?

I'm got another line on an opk I just did.

Hi Shelb my initial implantation pain was to the left but then I had aches all over that region for a couple of days.

I'm not getting too excited as I have a bit of a cold and feeling a hey and nauseous could just be part of that or the whole cold could be a symptom how irritating not to know.
Ovia says I can test in 5 days but I've been testing daily to prevent myself going mad or possibly because I've already gone mad today's test was unsurprisingly a clear BFN but I expected that.

And yes you can say the pies are hilarious. I laughed when I saw them. They're like some sort of pie/cake crossover... Taste ok with cream though

In glad someone is up!

Runner those pies are hilarious - can I say that?! But I'm sure they taste delicious. Hmm you keep piling these symptoms up, it's sounding really really promising to me! How many says till Ovia says poas?

Hmm, well, I had some more left sided pinching last night - five minutes max. I've woken up feeling very nauseous and a definite pain in my left hip....trying not to get carried away like you as I have suffered from groin pain on the pill. Shouldn't implantation pain be centred though?

Morning ladies, how are you all doing this morning?

Hi Bub sadly that's just dye run. It happens from time to time. As Stark said, you want to vertical lines on that one.

Yay Christmas pud jumpers. Like it Stark

Haha Kat glad I'm not the only one who gets confused. I'm usually so organised when I bake but I'd just finished making a cake so I had both types of flour in front of me.

Had a horrible nightmare last night where I first flooded then burnt down the kitchen. Then I woke up with a really bad back (as if I'd been lifting heavy furniture and pulled something) and had a wave of nausea. Trying not to let my head get too excited with the symptom dance especially as neither of there's imagined symptoms were fun

Here's a picture of the mutant mince pies for you
