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

Hang in there runner you are only up to a possible 11dpo so still really early. What are the odds on three duff tests - get a frer if you can?

X

Drink I'm between 9 and 11 dpo so I know I'm not completely out but just feeling a bit frustrated today.

Doesn't help that I have a headache and feel completely wiped from this cold.

How many dpo are you runner? A couple of my friends haven't shown BFP until 25/26 dpo. Even after missing af

Drink with any luck that was the illusion implantation bleed.

Shelb yeh I think you're right. I did see more people claiming it was a sign of pregnancy than not but I'm taking that with a pinch of salt. Some people swore blind that opk's give a positive pregnancy indication before hgc but others claimed the got a positive opk but weren't upduffed.

Have ordered some different ic tests and I'm going to get a couple more FRERs tomorrow. Don't feel confident though.

Go for it Snow

Pink is it worth trying a different brand next month?

I think I'm feeling the pressure a bit now. Yesterday's fake positives have annoyed me because where as before I was bumbling along staying chilled in now really impatient to know.

thanks ladies

Runner, I am using sainsburys OPK's. I think I might have missed it too, though we still DTD fairly regularly last week.

Oops I lie.... I put my info for this morning in and Ovia went back to Wednesday being peak? Poor dh 😄 He isn't off the hook til Thursday now.

I had a pretty much definite positive opk very late last night, I tested as I had cramping like I was about to ovulate. So we dtd and I did the pillow under my bum pretty much all night. Hoping some swimmers found the egg as I've got no cramping today so far! Ovia now says yesterday was my peak thanks to a positive opk test. I'll force myself on dh again tonight or tomorrow though just to be sure. Then I guess I wait!

Drink that sounds really positive!

Runner Ive googled It until my eyes bled but it's fairly 50/50. If the opk continues to get stronger it's likely a sign of BFP. Mine was pretty faded this morning.

Sorry to hear about the BFN runner and shelb. It's still not over though!

I had a tiny bleed in the night, just one wipe of dark brown blood. So now of course I'm obsessed. No idea how I got back to sleep! I'm only 6pdo, so I've still got another 8 days to tie myself up in knots.

Blue you're a far better person than I if you can hold out!

Shelb I'm keeping my fingers crossed that the witch doesn't get you! But your symptoms do sound promising.

Pink sounds to me like you missed ovulation. What type of opk's are you using?

Kat I had a similar dream last night. Have to admit I'm a bit gutted now.

Lara I shouldn't worry about having one or two over Christmas. If you are upduffed the baby will still be a blastocyst so it won't hurt it.

Ni was there anything unusual about your period? Is it worth doing a cheap test just in case?

Feeling kinda pre-mental. Emotional, spotty, tired and grumpy. I think the witch may be closer than Ovia thinks!

Just tested an ovulation a stick (because I have a problem and can't stop myself peeing on sticks. I should possibly get therapy for it!) and there was a faint second line. Could mean anything so I don't know why I bothered but hey ho!

Bunch tmi mega warning but it's kind of yellowy and it has almost soaked a g string liner it's that bad (sorry ladies). My tits are killing. Not so many period like cramps today though.

Ni how long was the bleed?

Pink Hang in there, I was exactly the same.

Lara resistance is futile, obsession will be imminent!

Stark not long now, you'll be sick of the sight of cock n balls before too long if you're anything like I was! Exciting though.

Morning ladies!

Sorry about-the BFNs Runner and Shelb. Fingers crossed it was just too early.

Metallic taste in my mouth this morning...triggered thoughts that AF was actually implantation bleed! God this process is a killer!

OH volunteered to go get his swimmers checked (he cycles a lot so hopefully they aren't getting fried!) Nice to remember it takes two to tango so it's not just down to me to watch the alcohol consumption etc! Shame Xmas is in the middle of this cycle..neither of us will be going teetotal! Hopefully the break from work and distraction of Christmas will help to chill all our bodies (and minds!)

Lara I already got mine I'm 5+4. My point being if I have it, it's not always a symptom of AF coming.

Lol Kat. Let's hope it was a premonition! I had a dream that after dtd a baby bump visibly appeared instantly before my eyes :)

I was dreaming about POAS..... I'm going crazy now. I had all these tests and I'd cracked them out of the cases. Obv there was a BFP. I woke up like "hurrah!!!...oh no wait" ... 5days to wait. Hmph.

So hard to keep up! Loving reading about how you're all getting on though.

Sorry for the BFN shelb and runner.

stark must be so frustrating having DH work away.

blue and bunch I really hope you get your BFP this month!

Interested to read about you using the OPK sticks. I've just ordered some but am concerned I might get obsessed!! Part of me wonders whether I should just try to dtd regularly and not track at all. But I know myself and I can't help it!!

AF is due 29th Dec. The wait is going to be so long and I'll be worried about drinking over Xmas too :(

Sorry to hear of the BFNs Shelb and Runner. At least if they stay that was you can enjoy a tipple (or 2!) at Christmas!

Welcome lana!

Still no positive OPK from me. Now on CD 19 according to Ovia, I've become s bit obsessed with the OPK pissy sticks so will keep going. My two cycles off the pill have been 34 days and then 28 days so I suppose I've either missed ovulation or it hasn't happened yet.

I'm getting the wet knicker feeling too, lots of knicker checking thinking I'm bleeding. It's a symptom of early pregnancy so remain positive

Thanks blue. I'm CD28 today too (did we discuss that yesterday?!) and I'm 8-9dpo. According to ovia which is using my 28day pill cycle days, AF is due today. I also feel wet (vomit) like I I've come on but haven't.

Sorry it was BFNs Runner and Shelb...could still be too early though?

CD28 for me today...I'm determined to hold out until the end of the week to test, AF due anytime from tomorrow till Saturday, can't decide if I'm feeling AFish, think I might be :-/ Still got that really pleasant 'wet' feeling, which depending on what you read could be a good or bad thing...think I've decided I'm just going to stop reading for the foreseeable future!

How is everyone else doing?

Lol Shelb I second the baileys drinking.

Well, I decided to go ahead and waste a FRER to get rid of any remaining ambiguity BFN unsurprisingly I think I'm probably out this month. Hey ho

Yeah agree - when I got my fake line last night I had a panic - oh no I won't be able to enjoy Christmas and new year celebrations. At least if I am out this month, there is going to be some serious baileys drinking and merriment being had with friends and family!

X

Thanks ladies.

Sorry you got BFN too Shelb.

I had a feeling mine would be false. And I'm holding onto the fact that if I don't get a BFP this month I get to drink at Christmas and new year.

I know I'm going to feel a bit deflated if it didn't work this month and I can see how ttc will get exhausting if it takes a few months. Nothing that I can do about it though so may as well try not to worry.

Ah bad luck runner but yeah like you say still early days.

And it's a BFN from me ladies too - obviously I've taken it to work with me so I can look at it later then crack it open and torture myself, but for now, it's a no.

Weird thing this morning though - toothpaste tasted AWFUL like really really bad. Odd.

How is everyone?

Morning ladies!

Starky I feel for you, it's rubbish isn't it.
Aw runner I had my hopes up for you but keep us updated. Superdrug do cheap test that might be better than the ones you have. And if they aren't cut very well they could be duds. always looking for a positive explanation x
