Ttc#1 THREAD 3. Some bfp's, some bfn's, cervical mucus examination class of what was supposed to be January 2016.

runner I can see it too!! . Congratulations! ! No eggnog for you.
Of course we will need daily tests done now until it shows bright pink.

Oh my goodness! stark! that's awful! You must live on some bend! Hope you managed some sleep afterwards.

Just getting ready for my first day back to work but this looks very much like a squinter to me. (Photo has not been edited)

Jesus stark that's awful, is it a back road or something?

Another BFN for me ladies, ffs!!

Hahahaha... I'm also quite buxom. I don't think my dh will ever meet my eye again if the girls get any bigger. I'm quite anxious about gaining more weight though as I'm already quite well rounded. Silly thing to be anxious about really,considering.

So getting ready for bed my husband exclaims "bloody hell drink, your boobs are massive!". I get all excited thinking I'm getting lucky on a none pressure night, when he dives out the bedroom and returns with the digital kitchen scales. Man child!!

And yes, he's right. They are quite a handful . Alas they've been that way for years.

starky you're too funny 😂 I was the same until one day I forgot where I was and let out a belter. I was so embarrassed. When we first moved in together I would never go poopsy for the first 4 months.. I would always go to mums.. It got so bad tho I had terrible stomach pains/problems.. Long gone are those days though 🙈

Oh shelb I disgust myself with my fats atm. Foul!!!

Lan - i think FRER is the First Response pregnancy tests? I may be wrong though!

runner I know what you mean - now it's like yeah either turn positive or let me know I'm out, can't be arsed with look at / dealing with / collecting / testing any more PISS!!!!! I'm pissed out. Pissed out and cocked out.

Currently sat next to OH trying to hold in my farts, no one bring a match near me for christs sake. Had enough!

Guys what are FRER?
Hope you enjoy the transition back into work runner it'll keep you occupied and depending were you work, it might be nice and quiet just like it is in my office atm x

pink ovia is saying I'm CD25 but it's only my first month post pill so I don't expect it to be accurate. I wasn't paying attention to anything for the first 1.5 weeks, like ewcm or other ovulation symptoms as I didn't know about it all! So no idea of I've ovulated or not.

The only odd thing is I got a (tmi alert!) tiny one-wipe bleed as it were amongst some cm about 6 days ago. Not sure what to make of it?!! Any ideas? Trying desperately not to get my hopes up and read into it!

Runner, I think you are right. I might update Ovia to show I ovulated last week.

I think its good that testing has turned to boredom for you. Sounds strange I know but it may take some pressure off? Hope the return to work goes ok tomorrow too.

Dubya - what CD are you?

Bugger! I did a post ages ago but it didn't post! Grrrr...

Shelb yep I'm back to work tomorrow. I'm on half days until Christmas then it's back to normal in the new year.
Your symptoms are sounding really positive. I really wouldn't be surprised if you do get BFP this month but if you don't you shouldn't feel silly for talking about it on here. That's what we're all here for. We are the village and all that bum fluff

We're going to have to think of a name for smarmy gits who get upduffed on the first month x

Stark totally agree that sometimes you have to take a step back and be grateful for everything you have. Gives you a but of perspective.

Lan so sorry you're out this month but look on the bright side, time to paaaaar-tay then get back on the horse (so to speak) in a weeks time

Drink and Dub symptoms or no, you're not out until the witch shows up blatantly ignores my own advice

Pink I'd say that opk is only a hair off of positive. You probably just missed the peak. Unless you're a freak like me and get multiple days of peak, I've read that it can be very hard to catch.

So I now have just about zero symptoms. I'm not even that fussed about testing anymore as I think I'm just wasting my time. I've bought a FRER to use on Friday when Ovia says to test but if it's a BFN I'm just going to assume I'm out, have a drink and wait until AF shows up the excitement of testing has turned to boredom

I definitely think it'll take a couple of cycles for Ovia to catch on and be more accurate, especially with your first cycle being 34 days. Your body might be regulating too.

On a lighter more off the topic note, all my Christmas shopping is complete and wrapped! I always get into an organising kind of mood when AF is here! 🎄⛄️🎁

Thanks snow I will navigate the menopause bits!

I am currently of the opinion I'm out this month as don't really feel anything unusual starky but, as they say, not out until af is here!

I'm just hopeful for a return to a normal cycle after so long on the pill. Bamboozling is definitely the word for it all pink hehe!

This is interesting too.

Starky I thought those two lines were fairly similar too but he ovulation indicator one was definitely slightly lighter. I just test at night so it's possible it hit peak darkness the next morning though I suppose and I missed it.

I'll confess I find the whole cycle thing bamboozling, which is worrying when it's my own body!!

Shelb, no I came off the pill in mid September. My first cycle off the pill was something like 34 days and my last one was 28 days.

I'm on CD 20 according to Ovia, with this being peak fertile day (that made me chuckle given the OPK result tonight!). I'll keep testing though, it's encouraging to know you ovulated on CD21 ish.

Me too pink! Will be making sure DP and I make full use of the 2 weeks off at Christmas!
Snow that cream sounds quite good, I think I'll have a look at that.
Pink that sounds strange with your CM. What CD are you on? I've personally not used the OPKs before as I think I can tell when I am ovulating by my CM. I'll see if I manage a BFP next month before I start trying them out.
