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

Congrats Miss, I'm super jealous! How many dpo are you, did you test after missing AF and did you have any symptoms?

Stark sounds like you've almost worn OH down. Just keep at it literally!

Woke up to cramps today. The witch is due tomorrow and I'm fully expecting her to arrive. Still I'm heading out to watch Bellowhead tonight so maybe I'll just say sod it and have a cider.

I've decided to quit doing bbt. Apparently I sleep with my mouth open so it's not terribly accurate and I think it's making me more crazy obsessive than I need to be. I've got a couple of ov sticks to try and pinpoint next months ovulation instead.

Morning ladies. It's Friday wohoo I am so pleased this week has been hectic. Hope we are all ok?

MissClarke wow congratulations! Can see those lines. I'm sure your OH will be happy. When are you telling him?

Well we have been extra busy given its my ovulation week, it's been fun as always. I didn't take an OV test so I'm going by the app and my body showed the symptoms. I would love for it to happen so quickly.

So this just happened...

Top stick is just an ovulation test I did first.

I've only been off the pill a few weeks and haven't even had a proper period!? I'm really nervous about telling OH!!

Ooh, stats;
Age: 34
TTC: no 1.
Cycle: 1(ish, not off the pill a week yet!)

Starky I'm with you on the Christmas decorations! DH gets home on the 5th Dec and I'm not sure whether to have the tree up and house decorated ready or whether to drag him out tree shopping the day after he gets back - I love it looks like we have a thread of Christmas fans! I spent last weekend making mincemeat and Christmas cake, this weekend might be flavoured alcohol.

Runner hmm... So maybe still a chance then... Just stay away from the pissy sticks for a few days!

Hi Nurse and welcome.

Sounds promising runner!!

I can't wait for Christmas either, I'm holding off putting mine up at home for a couple of weeks but I'm going to put the one at work up tomorrow which will either ease my craving to put mine up at home or make it worse!!!

Elevated sense of smell is still in residence. Had to wash my hands twice earlier because something I'd touched smelled of feet and now I'm sat in a near empty pub feeling sick because I can smell the smokers sitting on the other side of the room

I hear ya Runner! I could never see the point of yoga in the past but my job is so blastedly exhausting now that I don't have the energy or willingness to do anything more than roll about stretching in the evenings!! thankfully dtd also fits into that!

I love Christmas!!! Got to have the Christmas music playing in the background! Ovulation week starts today... Time to ramp up the DTD!

Thanks guys :) I also cannot wait to get my Christmas decorations up! Hoping to get them out of the attic next week!! The excitement :)

Welcome nurse!

Starky runner I LOVE Christmas! I cannot wait either.

Hi Nurse welcome to the thread

Stopped taking my pill in February, had only one period in that time but it was beginning of nov so hoping that this may return to normal soon. Not officially TTC but not using any contraception!

Ni I find yoga deadly dull but I do enjoy body balance which is a mix of yoga and a few other thing and is a bit higher impact.

Stark totally agree with the decorating OH says I shouldn't decorate for a couple more weeks but stuff that! Can't decorate next week though as sis is here... So much for avoiding stress

Runner, dont diss the walk! For me walking is something I'm much more likely to do so I'd rather focus on doing that than setting myself up to fail with running! Although if you're talking stress would you consider yoga? Lots of stuff on YouTube, and it feels so lovely to have a good stretch! good for ttc too

Christmas, yes love the decorating with Xmas movie or tunes and mulled wine if i get to drink it this year and mince pies

Bunch that's fantastic news!!! Wishing you lots of dtd over the next few days!!...

Ovulation test still says no for me today, but it's gonna be this weekend I reckon. OH has been warned!!

Hi Ladies.

Runner I am also a Christmas fanatic but like to do the decorations on a weekend day so it generally falls in the first few days of Dec. I insist on a Christmas film while doing it luckily my OH is the same. We are going decoration shopping tonight.

Woohoo Bunch best get busy

Morning run ok it was a fast walk complete. I will have a productive day today dammit!

Oh Runner I hope not. But as you said if so there's cheese and wine!

I am very fanatic about Christmas. I have been known to do it the 30th of November

Good news. I'm just headed home, job finished early aaaannnd I'm still in my fw with an ovia score of 9!! eek.

Morning ladies! Missed loads, tried to catch up.

HA! Stark that made me laugh! If I did that my OH would tell me to shut up

So how are you ladies this fine and lovely morning? I haven't looked out the window yet so in imagining the day I want

Today is the start of Dr ordered daily exercise. As soon as I can convince myself to get out of bed I'm getting on the treadmill. I've got a terribly productive day planned out culminating in watching OHs band at the pub tonight.

I'm now pretty sure that I've had a chemical pregnancy. Skittle tits are nearly nonexistent this morning so I'm fully expecting the witch to appear on Sunday... Bright side blue cheese and wine hear I come... Should be able to indulge in my usual drunken tree decorating in 1st Dec too

Anyone else here a fanatic who insists on putting the tree up on 1st Dec?

Haha Mor I wait until OH has fallen asleep before I add dtd. Have been surprised to see how much more frisky I am during the window and not just because of ttc.

If you can hold off testing until you're late then it's the best thing to do skips along ignoring own advice

Fingers crossed for Monday for you Runner,but if it doesn't happen don't get too down about it Just think, more sex! 30 sticks for a £5 - good move! I've got some cheap ones stashed away ready. The FRER ones are now on offer?! Damn it.

I'm with you Mrs22 - if I test before AF is late, that way madness lies. Thing is, you'll just doubt what the stick is telling you until AF does or doesn't arrive; whether you think it's a positive or a negative....

Hello to the newbies

Oo - stats
Name: Morwenna
Age: 32
TTC: no 1.
Cycle: 3
CD: 9 (just entering into the window - and we all know what happens in the window ladies!!)
Been off Pill since July, but didn't start trying properly till end Sept/October time
Fitness: practically non-existant (although like walking, does that count?)
DTD: Got back on the wagon last night after a break due to headcold. Don't worry, I'm not suggesting that we keep public tabs on how often we DTD!!! Feels slightly odd inputting it into my app! (I do wait until DH has left the room!)
