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

Well just to mess with my head, the spotting that looked like af en route went away and now I'm just plagued with very ambiguous yellow/slightly pink tinged cm when I wipe. Could still turn into af today or tomorrow I guess. I feel like crp, got a sore throat and cold and now my ears hurt like I'm getting an ear infection. Thank god I'm not working this week I just want to crawl under my electric blanket and watch bad tv and be miserable. I missed fmu today so I can't test again til tomorrow but I feel like af is just taunting me. Btch.

Starky find that test!!!!! A positive opk could mean a positive something else at 8dpo!!!!!!

Aaahh Starky that sounds very promising!

I don't know if AF will appear next week but I am not the most pleasant person to be around today want to hit DH every time he speaks and I'm pretty tired. I feel like we didn't DTD as much as we should've this month, I went by the ovia app and my CF and we DTD on the days I thought I was ovulating. 6 days until test who am I kidding probably will buy one tomorrow

Cd23... Humm Stark I'd try to find that pregnancy test as that's really late for ovulation.

I had a dark OPK just before my BFP starky, so you never know

Or maybe you're preggers starky! Remember runners opk from last thread?!! maybe do a preg test too

Is 8 days dpo too early to test? I have what looks like the beginning of a triphasic pattern on my bbt chart and am now getting my hopes up. Only symptoms are headache, really sore boobs and (sorry tmi) constipated

Hi ladies, just checking in.

Canters, hope you have a wonderful wedding this weekend and lots of shagging too

Snow, sorry to hear AF got you.

Starky, how many days dpo are you roughly? If I remember you aren't exactly sure when you ovulated (like me!) but although those symptoms could well be AF they are also very similar to the symptoms I got before my BFP, so you never know?

Bubba, a first response might be the way forward if you want to test early, but I'd hold out as long as you can!

Canters - so exciting that you're getting married at the weekend!

Snow sorry AF got you.

Harriet that sounds really promising. Fx for you.

I'm so tempted to start testing- but I know it's too early. Ovia says 5 days.

Checking in again. CD 4 and ready to get shagging!

It's def possible to get a bit of an lh surge and not ovulate early in the cycle. So that latest test looks right on the money kat! Sounds like you've got the timing spot on this month.

My skin has had a delayed reaction to AF hormones and I now have big angry hormonal spots all around my jawline. My wedding is this weekend FFS. The makeup lady is going to need to work a miracle!

Plan for today is a bit of sales shopping. And also a gym trip to atone for Christmas eating!

Harriet that sounds very positive!
Sorry to the girls who got their AF or bfn's..wishing you lots of luck next month!

I havnt really got any major symptoms, except for the ones I mentioned last week when I was going insane my ovia app says to test on 3rd but I should be due on about the 6th so we'll see! Can't feel any AF symptoms yet either so I'm keeping my fingers crossed. I do feel terribly bloated and windy but blaming that solely on me being a pig the last few days!
I can't wait for new year now and to get all this rich fattening food out of the house!

Looks like af just pulled into the driveway. Roll on cycle 2. After a few too many over New Years!

Omg just had red spotting a week before AF due...either surprise early AF or poss implantation bleeding???! Never had this before!

I've found it in 40mg pills and will probably do 120mg x 2 days, 160mg x 2 days and end on 200mg the final day. Lots of posters on pregnancy forums seemed to have success with that dosage. Am going the throw everything but the kitchen sink at the next two cycles and see what happens!

Snow - yeah 3-7 rings a bell. Just googled and apparently the earlier you take it in the cycle the more chance of a releasing multiple eggs & sooner, but taking later in the cycle makes the egg you have stronger. You should never take it more than a few days in the cycle.
I'll be taking it 3-7 like you. What dosage are you thinking? Think I'll go from 75mg and end at 200mg by CD7.

Hey Ni! Search for soya isoflavones - there wereplenty of topics on it a little while ago :)

Ni yes I had a positive on Tuesday but it was gone by Wednesday. I used the clearblue digital opk. My phone is Google is like that too!

Ooh Soy? That's new to me! Must google!! my Google search history is hysterically embarrassing
Xmas holidays over and almost home to OH now... 2nd last day of fertile week so let's hope it's not too late if we dtd tonight (wasn't doing opks as I'm sure some family member would have spotted them! But have had no fertile CM so I'm hoping it hasn't happened yet! Although Ovia brought my FW forward a day after I entered some sort of symptom Xmas day Can't figure this malarkey out!

If Dec doesn't work I'll be joining next month Snow

littlebelle did you get a positive on clearblue?

I'm 37 so suspect my eggs need all the help they can get. From my reading it's most effective taking it cd3-7 as it strengthens the egg the most? Dh and I are going to see a specialist in February if the next two cycles don't work. Neither of us want to waste time trying without getting all the tests done. My chart right now looks amazing apparently it's triphasic pattern, but I'm getting bfns. So clearly I'm not pregnant or it would show. Once af starts I'll be relieved to get going on cycle 2.

Hey snow :)
Yeah apparently you can either take it to strengthen the quality of the egg or strengthen ovulation - can't remember what days are needed for either way so need to re-look it up! Yay we're cycle twinnies

Hi Zazzles 😊 I'm thinking of using soy too. I've heard it strengthens ovulation so it makes conception potentially easier.

Hello, can I hop on from the Dec bus? Bfn and af due in a few days so I'm surely out!
zazzles, 31, ttc#1, cycle 1, CD27.
Taking pregnecare, vitamin d, and next month using soy.
