Hahahah Starky! I've just had my nails done yesterday (long, red and pointy) so think I'll give the cervical examinations a miss this month X

I've got literally no idea indi something to do with inserting a finger and feeling if it's spongy and low! I've got long nails so I've not actually done any more than shining a torch up thereno bats flew out and attempting to angle a mirror correctly I failed and doing an impression of a tortoise stuck rolling on its back with legs akimbo Dh pissed himself laughing I can't face potentially impaling myself with my pointing finger!

Can I ask the awkward question...how do you examine your cervix? And what would the results show?
Showing how much of a newbie I amConfusedX

Canters15 · 23/12/2015 21:42

May poas tomorrow. Maybe. Surely AF on way though? Surely?

I almost examined my cervix at work today. I'm sure that's only mildly less appropriate then examining in new look!

TTC #1
Cycle #5

Been TTC since beginning of September after coming off the Evra patch. Started using OPKs on Sunday and had positive yesterday so been DTD lots over last few days so FX.

I'm so glad I found this forum, glad I'm not the only crazy one!

IndiX · 23/12/2015 21:18

Yeah I don't really know my cycle length, I havnt taken any ovulation tests. I'm trying to be relaxed about it and just have sex when I want and eat and drink what I like ( I do find myself checking my ovia a few times a day though) Blush.
Who knew TTC would mess with your head this much?! You go through your teens thinking even touching a willy will get your pregnant instantly and now I'm counting down the days until I can test and checking my CF daily!

Well I've got a really long cycle (37 days approx) so I'm still not sure if I actually ovulated, but I had my darkest okp on Sunday with a steady recession back to pale again this week. I honestly don't know if they're symptoms wishful symptoming and I'm a fairly windy person anyway! (I decided it's because I'm short, there's nowhere for the gas to go except escape! ) I'm not confident about a January bfp, although that would be amazing beyond belief! But you never know, and as is our mantra "you're not out till you're out!" which is only when af shows up

IndiX · 23/12/2015 21:05

Aahh Starky really? Do symptoms happen that quickly? My AF was 6-11 but not actually sure on my cycle length arm as its my first cycle TTC. I've got all my fingers and toes crossed for us..I don't want to go crazy and obsessed but would LOVE a bfp in January! What date are you going to test?

I'm trying to keep my mind off bfps with the though of baileys and g&t's over Xmas Grin xx

Welcome indi you're on pretty much exactly the same cycle as me! Af 6-12, possibly ovulated on Sunday although I'm not sure Woohoo! Same symptoms too!

Hi ladies, I'm new to this can I join in?

Indi
Age 25
I don't know all the lingo/acronyms yet but according to my ovia app and CF I ovulated on Sunday..been DTD most days unless my hubby is away with work for a night. I'm due to take a test in 11 days, was on the mirena coil for a few years up until 18/11 and came on my period 6/12..really want to get a bfp in January!!
I don't know about symptoms yet as I've only just ovulated but I guess I'm quite windy and dreams are very vivid and waking a lot in the night (probably just a lot on my mind).
Nice to meet you all Smile xx

I think the important thing to remember is that I refrained from examining my cervix in new look fitting rooms Wink knowing my luck someone would have barged past the curtain with 20 frocks, the curtain would have opened displaying me in all my non-shaven glory, squatting unceremoniously over a compact mirror and I'd have been thrown out and banned for life and I quite like their maternity line Xmas Grin

Lmao Starky at Jason Donovan and fanny juice... There's no dignity left in ttc is there?!

I'm up and down like a flaming yoyo with all the symptom spotting. I don't know how/if my dh will tolerate my looniness if I'm not lucky this cycle and have to go through all this again! My hats off to all of you who've done this more than once and can still write in coherent sentences.

BunchOfBobs · 23/12/2015 20:36

Hi ladies,
First baby, grad with a 6+5 blueberry. Early scan booked for 30th and currently suffering from mega cramps.

Drink cd1 is from first day of full on bleeding.

drinkyourmilk · 23/12/2015 20:25

Drink 38, TTC#1, cycle gazillion but in the spirit of this thread I'm gonna say 2.
Af has rushed into town and blown me over!! CD1 (I think. Do I start my cycle with rip roaring double over cramps, or is it when I start getting brown discharge? I can never figure it out)

Runner05 · 23/12/2015 20:17

Ladies, ultra vivid dreams can be a symptom...

Kat docs was rubbish. She was just like, why are you hear? You're the midwifed problem not mine... I now have my booking in appointment on 18/01 though Grin

Bubbles ibuprofen was news to me too.

Stark you is a mental bird Wink

Canters in my position as pissy stick captain (never thought I'd say that) I demand you poas first thing tomorrow morning!!!

LanadelLol · 23/12/2015 19:47

OPK's arrived so gonna start with them tomorrow.
Good luck for the upcoming weeks all X

Dubbya · 23/12/2015 19:43

starky that's hilarious! What we have to go through!

bubbles I had no idea about the ibuprofen either so thanks for that!

Canters15 · 23/12/2015 19:05

Canters15 · 23/12/2015 19:04

Canters, 29.

snow now I'm singing 'any dream will do' Jason Donovan version and it's your fault! Xmas Grin

kat ikwym, I've been studying my fanny juice too, I was in new look with Dh and felt a bit soggy, seriously considered pretending I was going to try on a dress so I could investigate! I didn't though!

bubbles I didn't know about ibuprofen unil you've just told me now! You are not alone!
