TTC#1 Thread 5. The one where we actually got to January 2016! NOW you can start! TMI alert throughout.

starky I had my implant removed in Aug as it wasn't agreeing with me, so went on to yasmin until we decided it was time. Came off in early November and had a withdrawal then a proper af in Dec

Congratulations bubbles! Definitely a BFP! What a lucky thread! How long have you been trying? X

PS. Indi I get horrid period pains so totally understand! Also, I made the same decision if (argh) it didn't happen this month. Lots of fitness and healthy eating to get ready.

Thanks Pink, haven't managed to leave my desk yet and the crazy has passed (momentarily) so I will wait I think.

Sorry for not replying Indi - Yes, first cycle trying. CB OPK showed solid smiley on 27th (didn't test between 24-27) so we DTD 27/28 a couple of times each day but not in the run up as too busy over Christmas. I don't know whether it made a difference but I was off work so quite relaxed and sleeping and eating quite well.

Ps Bubbles, maybe wait until the morning to do another test, so you can use fmu.

Congratulations Bubbles! Brilliant news

Thank you all for being so nice. I'm feeling bit unsure as its still so super early. I feel the need to keep retesting until I get a proper bright red line (which will bankrupt me).

For anyone symptom spotting - I genuinely had absolutely no symptoms until Sunday evening (which was 7 DPO) when I had very mild boob soreness. MUCH as I hate to admit is, I am NOT well endowed and so its really noticeable that they are (ahem) a VERY little bit bigger than usual now (which is why I retested).

Other than that, no spotting, no real increase in CM from a usual month (until today).

Eeek. I am going to pop out at lunch to get another test and see what it says.....I feel a bit sick worrying about it.

Congratulations Bubbles! What a lovely start to the year with all these bfps! Was it your first cycle?

I am in full swing of AF after some brown thick shooting yesterday, the bitch is really making herself know too these cramps are bloody agony! Anyway, gym done for the day and now to cook a healthy lunch. Going to try to obsess over my body/fitness/health rather than my eggs this month as I'm a massive control freak and the lack of control over my fertility is making me mad!

Starky AF isn't allowed to creep up on you!! How dare she, after all the pee offerings you made to the wardrobe gods! But seriously, I really hope this is your month and that you get that BFP you've been going crazy for x

Aww Bubbles that's so lovely! Congratulations!!! Lots of BFP this month, 2016 is hopefully going to be a great year.

Does anyone else have incredibly light af? I started yesterday and seem to have finished already and cramping has gone. Wonder if that means I'll ovulate sooner

Stark my left boob is agony.

Space I see something have a go with a FRER tomorrow morning but I have my fingers crossed.

Bubble that is most definitely a clear BFP so you know the drill, get your behind to the grads thread you is upduffed!!!!

Kat I am 11dpo. Hold out a couple more days and test again.

Bubbles there is no doubt you're cooking up a little one. Congratulations!

Congrats Bubbles! Lovely news x

Bubbles that is defo a BFP!! Congratulations lady .

Congrat bubbles!! defo a line there!

September due date buddies

Omg bubbles !!!!!
Congratulations!!

I'm not going to test now until AF is due. In fact I might even wait for her ugly face who am I kidding!

Well it looks like we've had a number of BFPs again this month!! And some positive looking signs too!! I think that looking at the law of averages I'm going to be a BFN this month. We're going to need to recruit more members at this rate

Bubbles and lana those are definitely squinters! It's a good week! Can you get a CB? That 1-2 weeks pregnant message would be priceless!

kat it's not over til AL sings! Try again next week :)

So tempted to test now too but I shouldnt!

So ladies my confusion continues... last night had some CM... like EWCM but less runny but almost elastic stretchy. Anyway... took it downstairs on a tissue to thrust in OH face... Anyway it had already changed consistency due to being exposed to air.. odd right?? Im almost certain it wasn't ovulation mucus...!!

Hi Kat I am not even sure... Ovia says to test in 7 days but has predicted AF to be here on Friday 8th. CD 22 atm. I am usually a 23DC so I'm confused....
It is very hard, especially when you do OPK and test for every single hormone. I am going to stop testing as this was my first month of doing it and I think it makes things quite stressful therefor inhibiting conception! Fx for you tho, just do the deed as much as possible and hope for the best x

Bubbles there's absolutely no question you're pregnant to my mind. That's an obvious line. But of course it always makes sense with early detection to be cautiously optimistic until after AF. That aside, woooo!!!

Sorry for multiple posts, phone fail. Runner should be our eyes from now on, she spotted a faint line yesterday as well. This is 10DPO so I feel like I can't trust it until I get the CB "Pregnant" test and/or until AF dates passes (on 11th/12th).
