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

Bubba that's as clear as can be! Congratulations! !

Wow! Clear as crystal Bubba! You're gonna be a mommy!

Test 2... Omg

Yes stark were all bloody banging on at you!go and do a test PLEASE!! I can't bear the suspense!

I had loads of individual replies to people but you girls have been so busy on here by the time I got to the top I forgot everything apart from the egg hanging around in the tube waiting for a sperm and the hen!

Runner how many dpo were you getting your squinter with the ic?

I am not yet out for January either- looks like we have a whole load of tests coming up?! I'm CD19, AF due around 13th. Had positive OPKs 26th-28th and need dtd like a crazy person that whole week. Boobs a bit sore (but wondering if this new phenomenon is what happens when not on the pill?)

Weirdly Ovia says test in 3 days I have no idea why when AF not due for over a week. But I have my ic sticks at the ready (got quite into my OPKs... Missing squinting for lines!)

Fx for you choc!! X

Thanks so much runner you've made me feel a lot better! I'm hoping that i ovulated later than I thought so would only be about 13dpo now. Will let you know in the morning

Also, tests do darken as they dry, so if there was a squinter there to begin with it may have just become increasingly visible as it dried. I photographed that FRER after work as I was too excited in the morning and it was definitely much darker than when it initially developed.

Don't know if this helps Indi but this is how ridiculously faint my first BFP was. But it was dark enough to make me double check and the second is the FRER I took about 30 mins later.

indi well the only way to know for sure is to test again but I'm putting my money on BFP.

I had squinter a for a couple of days before BFP that were so pale I thought I had lost it and was seeing things. I'd actually decided to buy some different tests when I got my BFP because I was convinced the others were from a bad batch

Fingers crossed for you indi ... I'm testing in the morning too!!

Yeah I saw the squinter within about 10-15mins so slightly outside the time limit and then cracked it open and went mad about an hour later..and then have been checking all day. I'll just have to test in the morning and surely then I'll know once and for all fingers crossed either way before I explode

Lol, I missed the hen thing, brilliant!!

Indi how far outside of the time limit are we talking? I think you said you thought you saw something in the time limit then decided you didn't then went back, or am I going mental?

I'm feeling more than a few bfp's here in the next week!!! Fingers crossed!
I don't feel pregnant as such (it would be my first bean so I wouldn't know what it feels like) but I don't feel myself!!! Sooooo drained and just can't be arsed to do anything really
A lot of poas at the weekend then!!!

yay Ni4444!

Oh runner you are such a pro with pissy sticks!! What about it being outside the time frame? Does that make it invalid?

Girls I seriously don't know who or why I have married this man he Obvs thinks he married a hen haha he does make me laugh the big dope

4 week ovulation period and multiple eggs at a time like a hen - if only!!

keep us up to date on Thursday littlebelle and I'll post my result on Friday. seems like there will be a lot of POAS going on at the end of the week!

Oddest feeling behind my belly button tonight! Like the feeling you get when you go over a bridge in car. Not painful or anything, just odd!!

Wish we dropped eggs like hens! Would make this process way quicker!!

Hi Lillian! I'm due AF on the 10th too so we have a serious poas party coming our way that day!!!

Stark thank you for the link!! I'll give it a go tomorrow -wish me luck!!

Leonie good effort dtd every day, but maybe take a step back to every other day. It's supposed to be just as effective. If you're doing opks and know when you're ovulating you could dtd every day for the three days around then. Google "sperm meets egg plan"

My OH is now thinking of paying for private semen analysis (next week rather than waiting 2 months for the next available NHS apt!!) rather than chance giving up his beloved cycling for 4plus months. I figure hes better off checking it out than giving up something he loves needlessly!

little clear blue are not very sensitive and as they're blue dye they're more likely to develop fake lines. Ideally you want to test with a red dye one, the most reliable being first response.

Indi yes it is very possible for a cracked test to develop a fake line. This is due to the test strip drying out quicker than it is meant to depending how the test coating has been applied that being said, as there is a line on the test (all be it a squinter) while it was still in the housing I don't believe your cracking it would have made it invalid.
Hopefully when you test tomorrow the line will be slightly darker, although don't panic if it isn't really dark, it takes a few days for it to go from barely visible to yup no doubting that.

Cluck cluck

I'm 35 cycle 6. Am waiting to test. Symptoms so far - wind, headaches, nausea and food cravings which are all my PMS symptoms too so I'm not very hopeful. Waiting to test on the 7/8th. Fingers crossed

lilianfullstop I'm going to try a frer on Thursday maybe, but it depends if my symptoms have changed. If it's a bfn think I would just wait to see if AF then arrives on Sunday.

Haha indi can't stop laughing at the hen comment. I would like to think my DH knows quite a bit about my cycle, he's wanted kids for the last few years but I was at college so the timing wasn't good for me.
