Littlebelle I have IBS too and my Christmas indulgance ha not helped my bloating/wind tmi fx for you when your pissy sticks come through!

LittleBelle90 · 03/01/2016 18:34

I'm still to test indi Ovia says tomorrow but I don't have any frer and the supermarket in my town doesn't stock them (I live in a small rural town where everyone knows everyone's business so I wouldn't buy them here anyway) but I have ordered some one step ones from Amazon which should arrive by Wednesday. AF isn't due till next Sunday but I'm doubtful I'm upduffed at the moment. The only symptoms I have are bloated belly and gas tmi but I have ibs so could be that 😕

choca I think you should poas! Your symptoms sound promising, fx for you

Chocaholic88 · 03/01/2016 18:13

stark you now have a place in my heart 😂😂 message me and I'll explain (if you can even do that on here!)

My job involves talking to all sorts of mega interesting people. It's kinda awesome ☺☺

I guess I'm still left to test indi ... I think?! I don't even bloody know 😂😂

IndiX · 03/01/2016 18:03

Haha choc that's so funny..I'm currently on the couch in my pjs thinking of shay chocolate to eat next.
Also I have a confession. I may have had a cocktail with my late lunch today dry Jan lasted a whole 2 days so from tomorrow I'm back in the gym, healthy food and no alcohol , promise maybe not a promise but I PROMISE I will try my hardest.

Who else is left to test this month? I hope you get a big fat bfp!
I'm kind of over the fact I may be preggo now, I'm looking forward to my AF and getting back to a healthy routine and to lose my festive flab!

Dan Carter and Sonny Bill Williams are very, Erm, talented and beautiful beyond belief

StarkyTheDirewolf · 03/01/2016 17:56

choc I'm wearing a Gryffindor quidich hoody! even though I'm really a hufflepuff representing! Ooh I'm nosy and want to know who it was! I once had a drink with Joe Calzage for three hours and didn't have a clue! I've done it a few times with international rugby players! I don't have a bloody clue! But I can say, the New Zealand team were delightful! Grin

Ooo i see miley... if I'm not upduffed, then we'll just keep on as we are... Basically at it every day because we can't help ourselves and then I'll test when AF is late type of thing... mainly because I'll be impossible to live with if we don't dtd every day 😂😂

Ahhhh it'll be the folic acid then stark

If anyone needs a laugh... I've just telephone interviewed a world number one in a certain sport (can't be too specific or I'll be outed 😨😨) whilst wearing fluffy pj bottoms and a Hogwarts hoody. Because that's just how I roll 😂😂

Mileymoocow · 03/01/2016 17:00

starky he'll be on his 3rd set of deadlifts so don't even think about disturbing him Wink they get pissy when you do that.

Oh well that's a relief. OH bought me the centrum before pregnancy and during pregnancy tablets (hes obsessed with vitamins and health) and my wee started smelling a bit after I started taking them. He's also severely optimistic because he got 1 pack of before and 2 packs of during.

StarkyTheDirewolf · 03/01/2016 16:54

Confirmed by Google, folic acid makes your wee smell!

Dh went to the gym at like 3...and isn't back. ..and I want him to cut my haaaaaair! Le sigh!

Mileymoocow · 03/01/2016 16:54

How are men so god damn calm?

I'm pretty sure not at all sure I ov'd on the 23rd. Got faint lines on opks for 2/3 days before then a dark line on 23rd. We dtd 18th, 19th, 20th, 22nd and 24th.

Chocaholic88 · 03/01/2016 16:42

Hmmm miley that doesn't sound like AF! Is it possible you ovulated later than you thought? I had a tad of spotting with my son, just light and only once or twice. Scared the life out of me!!

OH just said to me we'll do more tests if it puts my mind at rest but he's happy to 'have it confirmed' by blood test on the 13th... oh if only I could think like that too!! 😂😂🙈🙈

Mileymoocow · 03/01/2016 16:25

That may have entered my mind very briefly indi but it came with crippling af type cramps. It was a few spots of pinkish type blood and now I'm running like a gloopy tap down there (apologies if anyone is eating. I hope it's not soup!) Haven't had this sort of cm since ovulation.

I'm feel I'm definitely coming on but we shall see tomorrow. Ovia says I'm not due til 7th but my period diary says the 5th so god only knows. This is the problem when you hoard preggo apps I suppose.

choc I'm holding my breath for you! Prettttty sure you're gonna get a bfp

IndiX · 03/01/2016 16:13

Miley could it have been implantation rather than spotting?
So I now have paste/PVA glue kind of CM, that means AF is on its way doesn't it? I've just gone and bought super drug early detection tests aswell but they can always be saved for next month

Mileymoocow · 03/01/2016 16:11

Does folic acid make your piss stink? Cause that would explain a bit Blush

AF seems to have disappeared for now. Must have been spotting which I never seem to do. Hmm

Turnertime14 · 03/01/2016 14:55

It will be an exciting week - I'm due to test around then too! Currently just feeling a bit nauseous and bloated but I wonder if that's heavy Xmas eating rather than anything more interesting!

Chocaholic88 · 03/01/2016 14:54

I have no idea stark ... had a cold a few weeks ago that knocked me out but felt great for a week or so after it. Currently propped on the sofa (upon the orders of OH) as so dizzy I can't even focus to type. Even with all my 'symptoms' I'm feeling healthier than I've felt in a long time... again could be to do with stopping the mini pill but I didn't have any nasty affects whilst I was on it!

Bloody mother nature... wish she could give us a straight answer when we need one. However good things come to those who wait and all that crap... 😂😂

StarkyTheDirewolf · 03/01/2016 14:45

choc I did wonder if it was the folic acid making my wee smell strong, but I've been taking them the best part of a month so I'd have thiught it would have been prior to that if it was to affect it! So weird! I know what you mean! I'm quite a chilly person normally, always wear pj's with socks, need a car do, have a blankie to watch TV, and I've been so warm this week! And I've got zero energy! Maybe the makings of a cold!?

I've just remembered, it will probably have to be the 10th/11th to test as I've got my dsis and my dps dogs with us all next week while my dps are away! So because of their routine, it will be 9 am walks every day! My two dogs look at me funny if I suggest a walk to them!

Chocaholic88 · 03/01/2016 14:35

Thanks turner !!

stark I have strong smelling wee too which has been going on since before I started the vitamins... also I'm naturally really thin and am almost always cold... for the past week or so I feel like a furnace but don't feel ill... much f*ckery going on!

StarkyTheDirewolf · 03/01/2016 14:30

ni ill definetly hold off and we can test together! Yay! I've had strong smelling wee too! I was quite surprised by it because I've been making a solid effort to drink a lot of water! Trying to see if it clears my skin up a bit, I've been red and blotchy all week not helped by me accidentally eating chilli so it's been trout faced lispy land this week

I got the first step ones from amazon too harriet I like them, or the bodycare ones which are called first choice.

I'm going to go wake Dh up shortly and start mithering for my hair cut. Grin

turner it's down to the long cycle, if I start testing now ill spend a fortune, so by trying to hold off as long as possible I'm being thrifty! Haha! It's sort of an internal battle if wills but I shall prevail!

Turnertime14 · 03/01/2016 14:22

That sounds very positive choc - keeping everything crossed for you!
Stark you have the patience of a saint - I'm already going crazy (DH informed me this morning that I need to calm down - I informed him he needed to shut up) and I still have 8 days until I can test according to ovia!

Chocaholic88 · 03/01/2016 14:22

harriet no I haven't, felt a bit disheartened tbh and still feeling preg isn't helping. No sign of bleeding and symptoms definitely stronger each day...

I've got a blood test booked on the 13th so we'll know then if I don't get a positive before. It's just frustrating! OH says unless I start AF then we will treat it like I'm pregnant as he's read you don't get falso positives so we'll see...

harrietm87 · 03/01/2016 14:21

Thanks shelb!

What time of day did you test?

It says to test between 12 and 8pm but I'm usually at work between those times. Would later be ok or should I try to do it in the office??

shelbTa · 03/01/2016 14:17

Harriett I used First Step ones off amazon, really Good.

harrietm87 · 03/01/2016 14:12

Hi everyone!
choc you deffo sound pregnant to me! Have you tested again today?
ni good work on surnames. We've thought about that but our names are both so long it sounds ridiculous! But we will use my mum's maiden name as a middle name to keep it in the family.

Advice please! I'm about to buy some opks online - what should I go for? Just the cheapest ones on Amazon? Are any brands recommended? I've got a pack from boots but they only have 7 tests in and I want to start from as soon as AF goes to make sure I know what's going on!

Snowdog37 · 03/01/2016 14:07

Hello everyone! Sorry was away a few days, now trying to catch up with all your news. Hopefully there's some more bfp's on their way!
I'm cd6, have been taking soy isoflavones since cd3, one more day of them. No idea if they'll help but I have read so much good stuff about them.
Due to ovulate in 6 days so am psyching the other half up for another busy week! Am going for quality over quantity so we will do our usual mon/wed/fri and then Saturday and/or Sunday for good measure. And a couple of days the week after. Should knacker us both out sufficiently.
