Thread : Lucky Number 13 take 2. TTC#1 The one where AF can kiss our arse!

Thanks hep
Yes, put myself first
Maybe a little break is due
Fishy maybe? I have never experienced any spotting...

Its possible. Will keep fx for you

I'm going down the path of madness. This afternoon and evening - TMI warning! - I've noticed a very light brown discharge, with what looks like a few specks of wash-out coffee grains when I wipe! Never had anything like this before, not sure when I ovulated but currently cd 23 of 28. Does this sound like a possible implantation bleed?

Oops sucha. I can't count. Only 1 day late.

I'm 37 next month. I understand. But you do need to look after yourself

Thanks hep
But at 35 should I really be taking a break?

[Hugs] ever

Do what you need to. This TTC lark is tiring . we need to look after ourselves

Oh dear
AF due tomorrow if I am having another 25 days cycle. Otherwise it can show up on Monday for a 28th cycle. I feel it coming
Already upset
This os getting old and I dont have the energy for all the dtd that ttc involves.
Maybe I will take a couple of months break after all...

Glad you felt better after your feed ni ** I get really like that too!!

Me and DH treated ourselves to Five Guys for dinner! Yummy

I found cervix difficult to kav could only really tell if it was high or low! Once I bfp though it felt totally different rock solid and super high.

Totally agree with the Schrödingering on acid starky! Despite multiple symptoms and ahem... ?7 positive tests still feel like it might all just be in my head.

I am well up for treats hep

I have friends staying all weekend and we're off out doing tourist things in London coupled with nice meals and maybe a few pub stops on the way. I'm going to incorporate the treat into that, maybe a special cocktail or a yummy dessert???

inspector I'd say that's almost positive? Could maybe get a touch darker? But definitely close!!! Get your pants off!!!

Finally home from my course tomorrow, planning on sneaking a shag in before our friends arrive to see if I can hit the tail end of ovulation? That's if I can tempt DP into it, I better have had after being away two weeks!!!

Hi sucha 2 days late.
I 'll test on Saturday morning ( so I can have guilt free wine!)

I am symptomless. Which can be easily explained if AF is treating me to another random 39 day cycle

Also saw this poll/post today and it reassured me - this is how similar PMS and BFP symptoms are

hep it's amazing how many grads we've had. Slowly but surely we're all getting there hopefully!! Are you late now? When are you testing?

Treating myself this weekend hmmmm I'm moving house so it's going to be tricky! We are going out for dinner to celebrate my mums birthday Saturday night though so that'll be a treat.

lovely those muffins sound amazeballs. It's great what sunshine and bacon can do for the mood 😁
kav with you on the cervix confusion. God knows what it's doing up there. EWCM is sure thing though, good luck DTD!

starky 8 weeks already! How bloody exciting. Hope you and DH are settling into it.

With you all the tea. I'm totally hooked, have about 4 cups a day. Trying to edge it down!

Inspector that looks pretty much positive to me. Could maybe get a tiny bit stronger but not much. Get on it 👍🏼

I'm still getting niggly fluttering type sensation in my lower abdomen, mainly to the left. Also did not have lunch today as so busy in meetings but when finally got a break I felt sick and starving at the same time. But I don't usually miss meal times so maybe this is normal? Who knows... The TWW goes on...

You can have approx 3 mugs of tea a day and be within the guidance for caffeine intake during pregnancy. I can't function without my cup of tea in the morning.

inspector I would say that's nearly a positive, it's not quite as dark as the control line. Keep testing!

I feel like AF is on the way, can feel several spots brewing on my chin.

Oh wow. After writing that message this morning I peed on an OPK strip just now and there's a second line! My first one!!
I am amazed that something is happening inside me!

Right ladies, please can you share your wisdom and let me know how far you think this is from being positive? The control line is quite light itself, but I think the test is still a smidgen fainter?

Hep I am game for the challenge! I am going to treat myself to a bath tonight, and then a big gym session tomorrow, with a lovely big sauna to relax. I'm trying to change from seeing unhealthy food as a treat, and instead treating myself properly all the time.

that does sound like caffeine withdrawl!! my headaches are bad!

what about a few days at 2 cups a day? that should still be below the recommended caffeine limit? then you can try reducing to 1 cup.

(i think the guidance is equavelent to 1 cup of coffee per day. 2teas will be less than that).

ha starky

i think thats the one thing i will struggle with - cutting down on tea! Can reduce to maybe 1-2 cups, which i think would be ok. tried in the past to give it up for lent - the worst headaches!!!!!

I am hep and i am a tea addict.

Hee. Well it's good to know I'm not the only one poking around without a clue what they're feeling! You'd think we'd all be intimately familiar with their own bodies but it wasn't until I got together with DH that I even realised that thing at the top of my vagina was my cervix. Oy. Still, with upduffed ladies confirming you hadn't a clue either that makes me feel a bit more positive!

The pic made me laugh, Starky! The little faces on them are brilliant ... and actually I do think it helped me a bit with identification :) As for dtd - already taken care of today _ ... I'm expecting peak fertility tomorrow morning on the clearblue monitor so DH will be expecting to be jumped on.

I never drink enough water. Have been trying lately and having camomile tea instead of regular PG Tips, but find water so boring.

kav I never worked out the whole cervix thing either. TBH, I didn't really have much of a clue what i was doing, i sometimes thought i could tell the high/low bit but much like jam i was just poking about!

Kav i never could figure out cervix either.

OPK and CM for me.
