Lan I've never even heard of the pram superstition.

I don't do superstitions though, most of them are silly and were just invented to stop people doing annoying stuff like opening umbrellas indoors.

LanadelLol · 29/12/2015 18:49

Welcome Norris!

LanadelLol · 29/12/2015 18:48

Neither did I cheese, until I joined this posse and was feeling left out as I wasn't peeing on anything haha.
Starky I would Love Love Love to have twins... 1 pregnancy, 1 lot of (double the price) nursery bills, birthdays at the same time, school,
Driving lessons, uni, adulthood, up and out the door at the same time, that would suit me to a tee... But I think too much into this haha.
I have also sorted out my 2 front bedrooms and the back bedroom is now just waiting for baby stuff... How exciting!!
Does anyone believe in the superstitious stuff like, not having the Pram in the house etc? I personally don't and just wanted to know what you all think. X

belle I think creamy cm is a good thing at this point in your cycle!
miley ooh they're amazing the amazon cheapies! I reckon the frers are probably best as close to your af due date as possible, the ic's sometimes aren't as sensetive.
feefs and runner I'm a habitual farter, I endorse loud ones, Dh woke up and the first words out of his mouth were "fuck me babe, I got in bed last night and you stank! You were blowing off some whoppers!" Who says romance is dead?!
Welcome norris best advice, try and bang like a door in a storm! Grin
Awww snow poorly and af! The germs bastards got you as well as the witch! Look after yourself!
No probs purple mine are chihuahuas and they're notoriously hard to train! But they're quite good now, toilet training took a while but we can also do sit, down, up onto their hind legs paw, and one has just about grasped roll over now! I take no credit, my dsis is the Cesarean Milan in our house! With regards to sleeping downstairs, he'll cry the first couple of times, but definetly keep it up, otherwise he'll be in your bed forevermore trust me on that one! mine slept in bed with me until I met Dh and he's a liability being such a big lad, I had visions of waking up to flat chihuahuas! No hope for co-sleeping with babies here!
Ooh ill have a look at that later ni

I'm doing a giant clear out of the second/third bedroom. Using the pretense that I need to get shut of stuff, in reality, I'm going to clear it, move everything around and start putting my collection of baby stuff in there! Which means I can buy more stuff!

purplesmiler · 29/12/2015 18:06

starky thank you so much for your Puppy advice I will get some of those treats. He is 14 weeks old and a full border collie we have called him Oscar. He is currently chewing everything in sight lol.

Ni I will try to get a pic uploaded later tonight (still working atm). He is very cute but also very naughty haha!

Having a puppy does seem to be impacting on our bedroom activities a little but im sure once we are brave enough to leave him in his crate downstairs it will be back to normal (we are being too soft and letting him sleep in the bedroom). We are just having to be a bit more creative lol.

cheeseandbanana · 29/12/2015 18:05

LOL miley at hiding them from visitors, but you got me fantasing about how great it would be if I had some and a friend dropped by needing one and got a BFP... What a great friend am I. Think I'm getting a little too into this!

littlebelle dry CM is happening to me too, and not at all a usual thing for me. From doing my own research I think it can be a predictor for some women. Watch this space for you and me...

Snowdog37 · 29/12/2015 18:03

I had the farts, the cold, the sore throat, the yellow cm.... It all ended up with af rather than a baby though. So I've come to the conclusion I'm just gross and ill. Bleugh.

Norris88 · 29/12/2015 18:03

Hey ladies can I please join?
Been ttc for only 2 months but cycles are a bit messed up due to the pill. Last cycle was 34days but used to be 28 so who knows! Currently day 10 any tips you can give to help get things started would be appreciated!

Congrats to all the bfps. .hoping January will be a new start!

Feefeefs · 29/12/2015 18:01

I am also very farty! Even more than usual quite emotional and spotty too tho which makes me think it's just PMS.

Stuffy nose and sore throat is that a symptom?

AF due sometime between 1-4 Jan still not completely reliable. Think I ovulated sometime around the 17th based on cm. Using OVIA too which i love.

Runner05 · 29/12/2015 17:58

Farting is a symptom and once you get your BFP it's a way of life.

Mileymoocow · 29/12/2015 17:31

Ok, laughing at but bonkers Grin that isn't going to produce a baby.

Mileymoocow · 29/12/2015 17:30

They're great things aren't they? I heard them then forget about them and have to dash to the loo if we have visitors incase they see them. Turns you a but bonkers this TTC thing. Confused I hope farting is a symptom because I've been the worst I've ever been and i don't think it'll be sprouts this far down the line

cheeseandbanana · 29/12/2015 17:13

Wow twins... Is there anyway to predict that other than family probability?

If my AF is due on Monday 4th Jan can anyone tell me when I would be a good time to do an early first response?

lanadel I had no idea you could buy tests so cheap on Amazon what joy, I think I've got the bug for pissy sticks.

LittleBelle90 · 29/12/2015 17:10

I've seen a few people mention their cm being dry, is this a good sign when TTC? I'm Cd15, 8 dpo and usually quite a bit of cm after ovulation but had hardly anything except the last 2 days very small amounts of white and sticky cm, sorry tmi also been have pinches down in my pelvic area even though AF isn't due till 10th January 😕

lana mate, if you jinx me with twins (even if it's 100 cycles from now) I'm fully expecting you to move in with me and Dh and hold a baby forevermore! We will have to start a commune like hippies from the 70s! Grin

Welcome cat we are all ttc our first here so we love a good obsess! You'll pick up the abreviations quick enough, in our last thread, we learned that basal temping is not done via the floo, it goes in the mouth! And that weeing on EVERYTHING from your dog to your wardrobe or your husband is absolutely fine if it produces a bfp! Grin we are also a gassy clan of bum fluffers who love a fart joke and toilet humour! Download ovia, it's ace!

We have many bfp'ers who have stayed with us, pink bunch runner shelb to name a few! We've been so lucky, they're guiding us in symptom spotting and runner is our resident pissy queen 👑

Most importantly, there's no such thing as a daft question or too much poas-ing! If we don't know, the hive mind will access Google and relay information as quick as you can wait for an okp to dry!

Hiya harriet ni dreamy and miley

Omg, farting is a symptom?! 😂😜😳😳😳💨💨💨💨💨

Pinklily1 · 29/12/2015 16:55

I didn't have implantation bleeding Confused but I think a fair few people do. My symptoms were tiredness, nausea, bloating and lots of farting Grin

Confusedcat1 · 29/12/2015 16:39

Hi dreamy

I haven't been on the pill for over a year, but was on it before that :-)

I'd be far too forgetful for temping too 😂😂

Fingers crossed for sat, I'm trying not to get my hopes up! If AF is gonna come, I hope it comes New Year's Eve so I can drink some champagne! 😂

LanadelLol · 29/12/2015 16:35

Yaaaaaaayyyy! My first ever positive-ish OPK!! Cheesered 😁 And on CD14, what are the chances haha!
Welcome Cheese and Confused! Like Pink said, ovulation sticks and apps are what we're addicted to.
Amazon do cheap OPK and pregnancy tests for pennies so stock up. Also, some of us temp (basal temp) but I always forget in the morning so it doesn't really work for me atm.
Aw Snow sorry to hear you're out. Make the most of your last NYE!

Starky I can't wait to find out if you're preggers, I'll be keeping tabs of all your threads cos the banter will be class.... Especially if it is twins!

DreamyDreamer · 29/12/2015 16:29

Hi confused

Well I got a +OPK (ovulation test on 17th Dec) and not 100% sure how long my cycle is as its my first month off the pill but from my days of being 15 I think it was about 30 days so due to test Sat 2nd in that case Smile
Were you on the pill? It took me ages of stalking these forums before I learnt all the jargon.
Let's keep fingers X'd we have implantation bleeding and a BFP on sat 😀

Ni4444 · 29/12/2015 16:28

Welcome confused and cheese! Stick with us...We'll teach you all that we know...abbreviations, phone apps, cervical mucus and other tmi (too much information) symptoms, and how much is too much pissing on a stick No such thing as too much!!

Confusedcat1 · 29/12/2015 16:28

Congrats pinklilly! So happy for you :-) did you have an IB? X

Pinklily1 · 29/12/2015 16:23

Hi Confused

I'm a graduate of this thread, but keep popping back to see how everyone is getting along. Got my bfp earlier this month Grin.

Sounds like you are having some positive symptoms!

An opk/ okp is an ovulation test. Basically a stick you wee on which indicates whether you are ovulating or not. Ovia is an app for your phone which helps you track AF, when you are ovulating etc. I found it really helpful.

Fingers crossed for everyone testing soon.
