Thread 11 TTC#1. Let the fertile games begin! May the eggs be ever in your favour!

pug maybe it was an implantation bleed? Do you have an frer?

Thanks Hep and Miley There is definitely something on the ic, but I'm wondering whether it's too far away from the control line anyway. I can't take a good enough picture that shows what I can see.

If I did indeed have af, I would be CD4 today, that seems a little early to be getting a clear line on an opk to me.

Maybe I've just eaten something dodgy lol.

Morning every one ☺

Hope you are all well and hangover free if lucky enough to be able to indulge.

first go you! Congratulations xx

Sniggering over my tea at love lengths and weepy Tits 😅I love our little mix we have on here. Although we are all coming at this from different places, we are all just girls looking to get upduffed asap and hopefully laugh a little a long the way. Because let's face it, this process involves some crazy taking over ours lives shit at times!! Hurry up the bfp's (so we can become equally manic about pregnancy haha)

At the tale end of ISW. I've never heard of the SMEP method before but basically that's what we have done this week. Exhausted! Of my 7 days I mark as fertile we have dtd 6 times. Was going to take a break last night and go again tonight but I had a real cramp feeling yesterday from 5pm onwards (ovulating? ) so managed to persuade OH to go one last time. I have to leave him alone tonight though he says he's drier than a desert downstairs and needs time to reboot the swimmers. Plus I think he's just plain burnt out oops haha. Anyway, fingers crossed our lucky thread continues xx

pug I can definitely see a line on opk. I'm not sure I can on ic but I'm terrible for lines.

Glad I've managed to give you all a chuckle but I can't take credit. Pretty sure love length is off phoenix nights

I'm going to lie down aaaaaall day and watch disney films ❤

pug

sorry, i really can't see a line there. that doesn't mean there isn't one. perhaps try a frer tomorrow morning?

Morning ladies! 👋

Hmm...seem to have two days of elevated temps...suggesting I might have ovulated on Friday (I did have weird sensation in left side on the way home from work). Although it might be just a random increase that will drop again tomorrow. Ovulation was supposed to be due Tuesday..so we didn't dtd last week and only started ISW Saturday morning. Opks seem to be neg but only took a couple of evening ones so not 100% accurate. We may have missed out this month. Careless!!! Fingers crossed I'm wrong!

Ladies, not sure if I am going just mad, but can you see a line on this picture. It's a bit of a squinter.

Woken up past 2 mornings feeling very nauseous and yesterday and today a sudden abundance of cm. But I've just had af, although it was only 2 days long which is unusual for me.

My camera on my phone is shit, so it doesn't really look like you can see anything there on the ic. The opk is the 2nd pic.

Ahhh weepy-itis thanks Planeteer
Celizabe I tried SMEP last month and nothing, so back to my opks and dtd as I can during ISW. I found it too stressful and exhausting.
First! oMG congratulations!!!!!
Jem so sorry to hear about DH getting scared. He will come around I think. My OH was scared then finally said to try. Then at the beginning of ttc i never brought it up not to scare him. Now, 4 months ago I make some comments and he is slowly getting around the idea. He is a very cautious man so I am giving time...
I make all the important decisions for us a couple as he is just so bad at making decisions
Regarding seeing babies around... It is so hard!!!!!
Moose sorry to hear as well and same comments as above

I hate this cycle already I've been in agony all evening and night, I think my big cyst on my left ovary is rupturing again, and I'm having an epic heavy period - ouch

😂 at love length!!

kwick of course you should be here! I have mild pcos so I should be on the pcos thread really but I just massively stalk that thread and Ivf threads anyway and post here

LOL @ love length! Absolutely agreed that you should be here kwick You've more reason than me seen as my length ain't being very loving at the moment!

Actually spat my tea out at love length Miley!! Totally calling it that from now on!

Love lengths aside, Kwick, I agree. Why on earth shouldn't you be here. Ttc is ttc x

A love length
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

kwick why shouldn't you be on here? You're ttc just as much as everyone else. In fact, more! You don't have a love length available to you so surely it's harder for you lovely lady

I am only on page 5 but just had to comment

snowdog what a lovely post and I 100% agree. I prob shouldn't even be on this post as I am doing ivf but you have all been so welcoming and I take great comfort from everyone's news 💜
Ok back to catching up

blue I had that for the first time this month, brown spotting Monday, then AF on Friday, never happened to me before though

Trying not to symptom spot too much, but today my weepy-tits have subsided and I've felt nauseous all day!

Congrats first!!!!!! So excited for you :D

I adore you all... Seriously, I'm jut beaming after reading all your posts.

bluebird I always gets the spotting you've described and just had BFP so I don't think it's anything to worry about - very normal.

Bluebird I had that the cycle before last. I was convinced it was implantation and then I got af:( turns out my periods aren't as regular as I thought they were

Bluebird I have had that once or twice most noticeably the first cycle off the pill. Not consistently every month tho

Bluebird I get what you describe about 3 days before af. I don't think it's anything to be concerned about, just as the corpus luteum starts to die and therefore progesterone levels start to drop and so the lining of the uterus slowly starts breaking down before it all properly comes away when af comes.

I'd forgotten about Huw 😂

congrats first!!

Congrats first really great news!

Tmi alert...
Does anyone else get brown, sometimes stringy spotting the 2-3 days before af? Wondering if it's a sign somethings not right which might be stopping things.
