Thread 10 ttc#1 The one where we're all really bored of hormones, the tww and cervical mucus or Why is my eggo not preggo!?

zazz yes to testing Saturday morning, I've splashed out on some FRERs 😄 My dh was like "holy sht they're only sticks to pss on, why do you need to spend all the fun money on them!" He's a dear, bless him. I don't think I'll be sharing my Pinterest baby board with him 😜😄

Really, miley ?!?!? I'm overweight so get winded easy anyway. But I have found stairs harder going than normal today and yesterday and my legs are achy. I'm pretty sure I just need to hit the gym more. But I'll have a squee moment 🤗 and get a bit excited anyway!

So we tried the fertility gel last night - it was good! Felt a bit weird (and made a very unsexy squelchy noise urgh!) applying it but OH really liked it! I'm cd11 today and In really good spirits - roll on more fw dtd!

snow did you see that news story this week where a guy posted on a forum that his wife's fitbit was playing up because it was recording a high heart rate for no reason? Someone commented and said maybe the fitbit was working fine and she was preggo and turns out she was! This could be you!

snow first thing my midwife asked was wether I had noticed an increased heartbeat and finding it more difficult to get my breath so massive FX for you!!!

Morning guys. sort of

choc that's great you finally have a scan date! Yay!

feef we didn't abstain from oral so it can't be that harmful. In fact tmi I'm sure we did have oral on the night I conceived!

I'm off to the darts tonight I know, I know which I've been looking forward to since christmas but I've just realised I'm going to be the only sober one amongst thousands of really drunk men! How do I cope?! OH has promised to take me for a meal before hand if I promise stick it out though.

Hey snow - count down til testing for you! Did you say Sat morning for poas?

Haha elle I certainly don't deserve a medal, the DH does - I put pretty minimal effort in

Hello 😊💐 yay to choc for finally getting a scan date!!!
9dpo here, starting to feel crampy like af is rolling in soon. My chart shows pretty good stable temps though so I'm crossing everything. I didn't spot this month like I did last month!!! The progest cream might have actually helped stop the spotting, which is a good thing I hope. No major symptoms. Boobs a little sore, I rolled onto my front in bed and was surprised that they hurt a bit. One weird thing I had yesterday was my heart beat seemed way faster/stronger iyswim? Probably nothing. But I was sat down chilling and it still felt too fast. Should probably see the dr if it happens again 😜

Alrighty back to work yay. Will try to catch up on all of the thread later, it's really hard on a phone 😝

Have a great Thursday everyone 🍻🍰 it's nearly testing time and Valentine's Day ❤️🎉❤️🎉❤️

Thanks Zazzles, I have everything crossed but don't think we dtd enough and unsure if we did it at the right time. You on the other hand deserve a medal for your efforts!!

Glad to hear it Choc! Can't wait to hear how far along your little cocoa bean is

Yay choc!!! About time

elle I wouldn't worry about lack of symptoms, most people don't get any!

jem ooh how strange. Definitely not feeling right, still quite crampy. Vey tired (but that's because bad night sleep). Maybe I've got a cold coming? Not been ill yet this winter so probably due one!
When are you due to test? (Same as me I think? 20th?)

Yay Choc 😊

elle pretty good! Very very tiny waves of nausea but only when I'm tired. Sore boobs on and off but nothing like they were... Otherwise rocking along :)

Sorry First, I meant that the moving image shows what you are looking at better than if you try to take a screenshot, ime anyway!

Woohoo Choco! How are you feeling now?

Yayyy ladies I have news... scan date 23rd Feb ☺😊☺😊☺

elle not really no. a scan on your abdomen is always harder to get good views of the ovaries. an internal scan gives much clearer images as you are closer to them

Oh that's cool First, I imagine it was easier to see on the scan itself rather than stills.

You're not out yet Starky, fx for you.

Hope AF stays away Pugmummy.

I'm similar to you Jem and Zazzles but no symptoms here. Not feeling very hopeful this month. DH and I talked about dtd more so we'll see what happens next month. Not very romantic is it?!

Anyone want to see my ovary with (possibly) a corpus luteum?

Well here it is!

Jamjar true dat. Ovia convinced me I was upduffed, so I bought ICs in anticipation of using them within the week - lo and behold AF turned up at 4am this morning. Cheers body!! None the less I am happy to have had a 31 day cycle this time round.

zazzles very similar to you - I think I'm 4dpo and have had cramps and pain in lower abdomen yesterday and today. It was so strong it woke me up yesterday morning and rumbled away most of the day. Not the kind of pain I get around AF at all, and too early for me.

Well Kat, I'm anywhere from 10-13dpo. Irregular cycles meant I wasn't going to test until the 17th in case this one decided to be a longer cycle again. I'm inclined to believe the peak reading I got on the clear blue opk on the 29/1 along with ewcm and ovulation type pains that day which makes me 13dpo

However, I strongly suspect I'm out. Typical af like cramps when since I've woken up today, brownish discharge/spotting as well. Sore Nipples continue, but this seems to be a typical luteal phase symptom for me.

We'll see, but I'm preparing for the imminent arrival of the witch.

I've given up on both of them. Just entering my positive OPKs and AF data so I have a rough guide to dates but I can't stand the silly comments. We're always told that being anxious is detrimental to getting pregnant but those apps are encouraging us to be neurotic and anxious!

harriet I just got frustrated by OVIA as she changes things so much. FF and OVIA both give me different weeks so going to cover both

Haha kat me & DH are terrible with the amount of time we spend on our phones - every now and again we have a ban in the evening

Welcome rebecca!

Love your dog pic starky, I'm 100% a dog person 🐶

So, 3-4 dpo today. I've woken up mega early with period pain like cramps & backache & hot flash.
I know it's too early to have any symptoms but it's weird for me at this stage in cycle can't say I've noticed it before.
