Ttc#1 Thread the 4th. TMI club of January 2016. No symptom too disgusting to share!

Hiya stark! A faint line on an ic?? I really hope this is your month!! Am ok ta, not much different apart from massive massive nips!!!

X

Ooo Stark do another ic tomorrow!!!! Mine started out as only visible if I stood on one leg, facing north while flapping like a chicken but it eventually got darker

Hi everyone

Hope you are enjoying the festivities.

Not posted for over a week, its been a bit hectic as we have a new puppy so when I havent been at work I have been kept busy lol he is adorable though.

Technically due to test later this week but I did an early test on Sunday and it was BFN. Not suprised as havent really had any symptoms but I will do another test to confirm. I think I will try with the ovulation tests next month see if that helps.

Back to work today but only for a day then I am off for a week horay, looking forward to NYE.

Kat, I'm starting to wonder if the milk is off. I don't remember buying any recently and I'm now too afraid to check! I'm happy in my little pregnancy bubble of hope for now!

Miley this is either a good sign of potential upduffing, or you made a really crap coffee

Morning Ni! I've had very little CM this cycle so I can't rely on mine either. And I was made to think this gettig pregnant thing was a piece of piss. I didn't realise it was several pieces of piss on several semi - expensive sticks FX you caught the egg.

7 dpo and coffee tastes like baby sick. How am I supposed to function? Help!

Very late place marking, totally missed that link!

Morning Ladies! Boy you lot are up early/late!

Ha! Pregnancy side effects sound just charming grads!

Stark as another long cycler I know it's hard to tell what's happening when...You're right, keep dtd anyway! Fingers crossed it's a BFP though!

I'm confused this month are our bodies ever clear?! No EWCM or watery CM when I reckon I should have ovulated Sunday or Monday...slight reduction in creamy/sticky CM though so maybe it's coming tomorrow onwards.

Just started back on Opks yesterday after my hols (so I've no idea what was happening with hormone levels over the past week). Finally realised im supposed to wait 10mins for results I've been chucking them after 2mins! See attached for first ever posting of pissy sticks from me! I'm gonna start hoarding them too...OH will freak out if he finds used ones! Top cheapie was yesterday morning, second yesterday evening after hours of not peeing. The clearblue digital was evening too. Not dark enough yet, right? (or I've missed the dark ones?) Dtd yesterday and will do tonight too. Also used pre-seed lube for the first time yesterday (that's gotta affect CM checks now, right?!)

CD21today of about 33 day cycle

Back to work today. Enjoy couch, bed and snacking for me those who are home today!

Hmm... Like I said my knowledge of double ovulation is simply that it happens. I don't really know the details, I was just looking for a reason Stark might have two surges.

Stark assuming you're not upduffed this month (you never know) it might be worth getting some more reliable opk's for next month. They're more expensive but would also be clearer. I highly recommend Superdrug own

Runner re ovulating twice, I was reading something about this the other day and I think it only really happens within about 24hrs of each other (so I guess a super surge of LH that lasts longer than normal squeezes 2 mature eggs out of the ovary) I don't know about two separate LH surges causing ovulation- it doesn't make so much sense though to me but I couldn't say that it wouldn't happen.

Welcome Miley, Zazzles and Fee.
Good luck on #TTC!

Pink my cycle length is quite short so thought that Ovia might have been right but I haven't had much CM at all (I check daily haha) maybe I just haven't ovulated yet as the OPKs are still negative. We can only try tho eh, it's not over until AF is here .
Starky you could be preggers right now! You're not out til you're out. Wee twinnies would be great too haha!
This is sad but I can't wait til I am back to work and into a routine again, I sit and eat rubbish all day, read some of my book, nap then do it again. Then I am lying awake at this ungodly hour!! X

Starky your ovary must be having a clear out!

Thank you ladies! OH is away to work on overtime this eve and I'm sure it's just to get away from me and my gas cloud. Not even the dog will come near me I never thought I'd get excited talking about other womens piss and bowel movements, but here I am egging you all on! AF is due around the 6th.

Oh god why is pregnancy so attractive.......

Indi once you get your BFP you'll spend all your time as a bloated, burping and farting mess! I've stopped even trying to be polite about it at home, but then again OH "accidentally" farted in my face today so all bets are off lol

Welcome Miley

Snow during my extensive "pee on everything" phase I found that ic's didn't appear to be as sensitive as they claim. I'd say mine were less sensitive than a FRER and the test lines only really became darker than a squinter when I tested at 5 weeks.
I would also recommend FRER over Superdrug own. Superdrug ones are better than average but with FRER there is very little margin for doubt. If there's a line, you're pregnant end of. With Superdrug and other brands there is a lot more ink seepage and so room for error.

Stark if your opk's looked like Snows last week then I'd still say you ovulated last week. I ovulated around cd10 of a 35 day cycle. The 14day rules are just a average based on a 28 day cycle so they don't count for everyone and your luteal phase can be either short or long (there's quite a lot of people on mn with short luteal phases that go to a great deal of effort to make them longer) the bright side is that if you ovulated last week then you have a long luteal phase like me which makes it easier to get pregnant as the egg can implant at leisure without your body deciding to start breaking down your womb lining before its finished implanting and started producing pregnancy hormones.
I read an article a while ago which advised that you can have multiple positive opk results however the first one is the actual indication of ovulation. Another possible explanation is that you've ovulated twice. Not so knowledgable on this one (not sure if it would cause two distinct positives on an opk but you would assume so) but it is possible as releasing 2 eggs within a single month is the most common cause of twins.

Indi I'm sorry to say it won't stop once you have your bfp. It's Windy City here tonight. Thank fook because I am getting so fed up of trapped wind!!!

Anyone else excited for all the bad food to be out the house from Xmas and to stop being a constant bloated/farty/fat mess?!
Bring on 2016!!

Welcome and good luck, Miley!
