Join us. It's a boat. Full of okp's and symptom spotting and insanity! But also much love and support! We were supposed to start next month, we already have a few bfp's! Our dps don't know what's hit them!

Welcome Why!
Sounding promising for you Pink . I'm taking folic acid too Lara, actually started taking a multivitamin (sainsburys hair, skin and nails) but only taking it 1 or 2x a week now and folic acid the other days as it makes me constipated plus nauseous if I take it on an empty stomach. Lovely!

I know runner I'm getting agitated now in case I okp tomorrow (when Dh is away) and it's a positive, and then he potentially might not get back till early hours Wednesday and my egg would be dead! Im already thinking of ways to try and get him to dtd with me tomorrow before he leaves! The conundrum being, he's in work till 2 am, so needs enough sleep to be able to get up tomorrow and drive 4 hours away. And I don't want him to think I'm being precious and pushy, but I'm so anxious not to miss the window! Ridiculous isn't it!?

How many days after positive opk are you testing?

Runner05 · 20/12/2015 17:08

Stark just trust the opk's and it will be fine.

I'm in between hoping I've ovulated today and hoping that I don't ovulate till Tuesday/Wednesday! What a mind bender! Dh has no idea of the level of obsessing I'm quietly enjoying! Mydays is saying going off that app, I won't ovulate till Christmas eve/day! So I don't know what to think! Balls to me and my super long cycles! 37 day bastards! Cake

Oh and welcome Why! We're all a bit obsessed with symptom spotting over here, so you'll fit right in! I have just started taking folic acid. I will probably upgrade to a full conception/pregnancy supplement at some point.

LaraG13 · 20/12/2015 16:19

Oh drink, I really hope the symptoms mean something. Everything crossed for you.

pink I'm starting to get excited for you!! I have no symptoms 🙁

drinkyourmilk · 20/12/2015 15:59

And as for scans- my husband knows I'll want one a month. He has no choice!

drinkyourmilk · 20/12/2015 15:57

starky a year or so ago I ended up posting a picture of my CM on the Internet Xmas ShockXmas Blush. That's when my DH held an intervention.

Welcome why we are all crazy symptom spotters here, so you are in good company. Plus, if it's not tied down we pee on it, just incase. You are amongst friends Grin

shelb you are describing exactly how I feel. I'm fine,then crazy tired, nauseous on and off, scary stinky farts, bloating, cramps, and I could blow up a balloon on burps. I know I shouldn't get my hopes up (Dr's don't think I will get pg), but I can't help it!

Pinklily1 · 20/12/2015 15:44

Pin him down before he goes Starky Grin

I'm resisting the urge to poas. AF is due around 25th based on the length of my last cycle. I might cave in the next few days but for now I'm resisting the urge (using willpower that i don't really have).

StarkyTheDirewolf · 20/12/2015 15:39

Well fingers crossed it's today because he's away Monday till Tuesday afternoon/evening now! Unless I can convince him that him waking up tomorrow and the quickly dtd before he goes! Fx!

Welcome why I'm taking folic acid and just drinking more water about as healthy as it gets for me! but no other supplements yet! And using ovia and okp's, Which pill were you on? Using ovia and okp's have definitely been a help for me, gives me some idea of when to expect what, and it's full of handy little hints too!

I think you should do an okp pink are you suuuuuuure yiu don't want to poas? When are you due af? It's this week isn't it?

shelb I know what you mean! I share stuff I here that I think "I'd never tell that to anyone irl" Grin

Do an opk anyway. If their ic's then it's not the end of the world.

Hi Why

Pinklily1 · 20/12/2015 15:36

Oooh, an early scan is exciting! Presumably you still then have a 12 week scan with the NHS hospital?

The only problem with the opk is I'm desperate for a wee now but its only been about 1.5 hours since I last went (shouldn't have had a cup of tea and half a pint of water - oops!) , so the chances of my holding it in until 4 hours have passed seem small!

shelbTa · 20/12/2015 15:31

Ah I see, that's understandable. Excited for opk though! Yeah appointment next week! Also think we are going to go for a seven week scan, eeeelkkkkk!

Pinklily1 · 20/12/2015 15:28

PS Have you got your first doctor's appointment yet?

Pinklily1 · 20/12/2015 15:27

Not yet. OH is very much of the view that I should wait until AF is late (so later this week). I don't want to poas yet as I wouldn't be able to keep the result to myself either way! Saving the wee up to do an opk later though!

shelbTa · 20/12/2015 15:24

I ask as burping was one of my first signs! Have you poas yet??

X

Pinklily1 · 20/12/2015 15:17

Hi Why, welcome! I am taking folic acid and vitamin D.

Shelb - I think I am about 10 - 11 dpo. I've been burping today, but only a little bit. More burping than normal but not an excessive amount if you see what I mean (never thought I would be discussing my burping habits on t'interweb!)

Starky - love your coffee, toast and "fertilise me" plan Grin Fingers crossed it works!

Hope everyone else is doing ok.

shelbTa · 20/12/2015 15:11

Pink this is sounding promising! Do an opk - it won't be positive, but if you get a faint line you could be heading in the right BFP direction, I'd love it if it was! How many dpo do you think you might be? I know it's been hard for you to tell. Any burping?

Id say you are quite close with that one stark reckon later today or tomorrow! Get it on! I'm ok thanks, best way I can describe it is like have a permanent mediocre hangover - tired, nauseous, rocky blood sugar that can plummet at any time if you haven't eaten enough, and thirsty!!!

Welcome why!

Whyissheontheship · 20/12/2015 14:37

Can I join? Came off the pill 4 weeks ago, no AF yet. Been temp charting and doesn't look like I have ovulated yet -but already taken two pregnancy tests- just ordered some okp strips off amazon.

Been checking my cm (gosh it feels weird to admit that) still stubbornly non fertile Sad so excited for all your BFP!! My boobs hurt and I feel bloated so (like a loon) I am convinced I am pregnant despite negative tests and zero signs of ovulation on temping charts so am putting it down to my natural hormones kicking in.

Anyone taking folic acid?

Pinklily1 · 20/12/2015 14:31

Starky - it is madness but at least we are all in in together Xmas Smile. I've got the whole hog with two pillows under my bum after sex. Like you, I figure it can't do any harm, so if it has a chance of helping at all I'm all for it.

I'm feeling sick again now. Had a really dizzy/ shaky spell this morning but that's passed now.

Very exciting for China to test tomorrow!

StarkyTheDirewolf · 20/12/2015 14:26

drink never in a month of Sundays did I think I would be posting pictures of an ovulation test on the Internet to ask people if they thought the lines were dark enough! Grin it's only been the last 12-18 months that getting pregnant has gone from being "a bad thing" to "a good and positive/sought after thing" in my circles!

I remember asking one of the girls I knew about her pregnancy a couple of years ago and her telling me she charted, and temp tested and okp's etc to get pregnant and me thinking "well, that's just bonkers! Why doesn't she just have sex?!" Oooooooh how little did I know!? All my good and logical sense has gone out the window and here I am scrutinising a weeks worth of things I've pissed on to see if I'm producing enough of a hormone to make conception a possibility! Madness I tells ya! Grin

drinkyourmilk · 20/12/2015 14:16

starky glad I'm not the only one with my regular good sense, and then crazywomenwantstobepregnant sense! I make life so stressful and complicated for myself. But. Just. Can't. Stop.

StarkyTheDirewolf · 20/12/2015 13:44

Okp from an hour or so ago. Darkest one I've had (the strips I've got aren't much cop fairness, even the control lines haven't been particularly dark) but either way, it's the darkest I've had so far and we probably won't have a chance tomorrow, so I'm going to wake Dh up with a coffee, some toast and a demand to be fertilised! Xmas Grin

lara in my mind, the logical, normal part of me knows that having my arse aimed up at a 45° angle after sex is unlikely to do anything other than be comfortable...the baby crazy part of me says "well, it can't hurt or hinder so pass me that pillow!" Grin

Has the hangover kicked in yet china? Are you excited to test?
How are you feeling now pink? You too mama shelb ? Has it sunk in for the new bfp-ers yet?
