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

Rats!! OH and I both at home today and he intercepted my pre-seed delivery when I was in the shower. Got a very quizzical look so i started to explain fertile cm, then he told me not to tell him anymore and to do the necessary. Hehehehe, poor guy.

AF due tomorrow. Feel calm and ready for her so we can get into the next cycle. Odddly my skin is normally terrible on the few days before AF, but is clear as anything today. Hope this is just a happy coincidence- would be the worst luck if I ov'd later then I thought and she ends up destroying my skin next week.

I found the nausea lasted about a week on and off then disappeared (for now)

Elle, I have had nausea every day since Thursday but it comes and goes throughout the day. Fingers crossed for you testing on Christmas Day!

welcome mili and kate!

Looks good in writing pink!

drink a list would be great!

I'm still no af this morning. Haven't got any more hpt in so will have to buy some today. Felt a few waves of nausea last night and then couldn't sleep argh!

Welcome newbies!
Wow, this thread is moving quickly! Sorry in advance if I miss anyone out.
That's interesting about you testing on CD 25 Pink, I think I will do the same if I have any symptoms. Have got first response plus sainsbury tests packed That will be Christmas Day and we will be off to MIL's...it will be hard to keep quiet/not be obvious. I think they know we're trying anyway. Hopefully nobody will ask!

Not feeling nauseous so far today, did feel 'car sick' from about 1 hour after waking until 6pm ish yesterday. Probably just dodgy BBQ then-I'm guessing if it's really pg related it doesn't go away once it's started?

The words kind of make it more real Drink.

Do you mind me asking how long you have been TTC?

Glad it's not just me! I'll sort one this evening or tomorrow evening and post it.

List would be really good as I can't keep track either

I'm starting to loose track of people on the thread now, tempted to start a list!

pink, i imagine that seeing the word 'pregnant' is just as exciting as seeing the bfp!
Jam, FX for you, sounds like a bug (or triplets?).
Welcome mil, I don't think fertility is genetic, my mum just had to brush past my dad to conceive, we've been trying years. Don't forget there are two of you, so not all down to our genetics.

Jam I agree with Pink but it does sound like you have stomach flu :-(

Ic's are good but I found that they weren't as sensitive as FRER.

Hi Jam. That sounds awful, bless you!

I would get yourself a Superdrug test or a First Response as they are meant to be the most sensitive.

A wave of fresh vomiting and diarrhoea sent me running to the loo this morning and while I was just sat dying on the floor, thought I'd test on an Internet cheapie. BFN. Couldn't be more clean and white if it tried!

Real tempted to nip out and buy a super drug one- what do you guys think? Are Internet cheapies that good early? I'm 11 or 12 DPO and Ovia says I should test from today.

Little ovulating cd9 is early but normal. I ovulated about then and it obviously didn't hurt me any

*trust the opk

Little - I would trust the op rather than Ovia (I believe i ovulated a week earlier than Ovia said I did).

I think the CD you ovulate depends really on how long your cycles are. Jump on your OH just in case

Congratulations pink!

My opk this morning was a smiley face (using the clearblue digital ones) but according to ovia my fertile window doesn't start for another 2 days. I'm CD 9, is that a usual time to ovulate?

Morning ladies!

Welcome to Mil and Kate. How old are you both?

Mil - i don't think ability to conceive is necessarily a hereditary thing, I suppose how long it takes could be to do with any number of things. As the ver wise Runner says, maybe if it takes a while go and get checked out by your gp.

Ni, no implantation bleeding here. Just the worst bloating and nausea in the history of the world slight exaggeration,but that's how it eels this morning

Hope the return to work is going ok Runner.

I poas on a Clear Blue Digital today, just to check . Clearly upduffed!

Hi Dr, I'm still popping in but I'm back at work now so can't be quite so active

I'm good thanks, I've finally stopped feeling that I might explode from bloat (bloat is lovely, you'll all enjoy it not) and looking forward to my first Dr appointment tomorrow I'm 3+6 now, so about 2 weeks until the real fun starts

Hi Runner thanks for popping by, was missing you now you are off on the shiny new grads thread! How are you feeling?

Millimum it took my parents 8 years and assistance so if it is I'm in trouble! I guess it would depend on the reason but to the best of my knowledge it's generally not. As someone suggested to me, a gene that reduced fertility would be less likely to get passed on by its very nature - ie if my mums mum had suffered from the same thing as mum, she'd probably never have managed to pass it on as there wasn't any intervention then and mum would never have been born. In fact my mum herself was a surprise later in life baby for her mum, 15 years younger than her brother so my grandmothers fertility was clearly fine!
My reasoning is based more on logic and experience than hard science though!

Hello newbies

Ni around 30% of people get implantation bleeds. I don't think any of our current BFPs did

Mil whether your mothers problem is hereditary or not would depend on the cause but it is unlikely. Please keep in mind that it's perfectly normal to take up to a year to get pregnant however given your mums history I would make a dr appointment if your not upduffed within 6 months.
Do you mind me asking how old you are?

How are you ladies that are close to testing. Any of you caved yet? go on, you know you want to!

Welcome mili! I don't see why if would be hereditary, could be as much to do with your dad as your mum. Best thing is to crack on with the sex and see how you go. Eeeeeeek another poas! Fingers crossed!

Ni I was toying with acupuncture. Have had it once before for a bad back years ago and just remembered being sprawlled on a couch with a load of needles stuck in my bum, like a hedgehog! However when it comes to TTC I will try anything that will help...did your acupuncturist use it herself to get upduffed, out of interest?

Hello ladies,

I'm new to mums met, so still trying to learn the language!

TTC #1
Cycle #1

I've been discreetly tracking my period/ovulation for the past 6 months and heavily hinting about starting a family to my OH. He told me at dinner the other week that he wanted to try for a baby and I nearly fell off my chair.

So, as luck would have it, that night was the last day of my fertile period and I can POAS in 6 days! Trying to play it super cool and not get too excited...failing.

My only concern is that I know it took my mum a year to conceive me and my brothers, does anyone know if that kind of thing is hereditary?
