SQUARE ONE'ers to GRADUATES - Supporting eachother on TTC journey

Summer I wouldn't say so no .... Just do it when you get back to freshen up the swimmers

Omg how embarrassing ... I didn't realise you meant the wee leaving the wee to room temperature. I wondered how the sticks wouldn't be at room temperature! I don't leave my wee either

Ha ha.. Tee Great we like the same name. I've always liked it.

Jodders- did it smell the whole month last time or just after ov? It's weird as I didn't notice until recently. Haven't eaten anything to make it smell I don't think?

Symptom spotting still...no AF yet??? AF cramps disappeared today - none at all! Cm slightly creamy/sticky not much of it. Smelly urine! & Backache.
DH poured me a glass of prosecco tonight, don't know if it's because I felt uncomfortable drinking it (as still don't know what is going on until AF shows) or if I genuinely felt a bit queasy! Had to leave it. Still not myself. Decreased appetite still - only had bowl of yoghurt with berries for breakfast, pineapple kiwi and Brazil nuts for lunch and a salad for dinner. Not hungry at all.

Anyone else lost their appetite? physics?

Nim- no I just Poas straight into toilet - I don't leave it for 20 mins. Occasionally I pee in a jar for FMU if I get up early.

Question for u all- did u all get positive opk the day u ovulated / day of temp spike or before ? And does your temp dip down before ov? Trying to work out if a possibility I ovulated few days after I thought?

Quick advice ladies...
AF heads away on Monday next week, but I'm away for work till Friday which means no Dtd till then! Will this affect me for the month? What are your thoughts? I know you don't have a crystal ball but was wondering??

I had strange smelling urine last month footprints. I think I posted about it too. Alas it wasn't a symptom of PG for me but I read it can be.

I like Rosie for a girl, and Thomas for a boy.

Scarlett is also on my list of names!

Strange q, but has anyone else had strange smelling urine! It's almost like an asparagus smell. I thought was a one off yesterday but today every time I go I can smell it. Would it be all the vitamins?

Never heard of that nim about 20 minutes ... Mine are in a drawer so at room temperature anyway?

Yea we've spoken about names
Harvey for a boy and at the moment Scarlett for a girl. But the girl name always changes a bit.

Symptom now - bloating!
Reason - too many carbs today ... Went out for a cheeky pub lunch.

Physics still chance for you ... No AF yet!

CD 13 positive opk on CD 16 last cycle. Dtd CD 7, 9, 11 and plan to tonight and over the weekend. Some Ewcm today but it was yellowish?? (TMI). I am taking vitamin c though.

That's great timing Jod with Dh being home.

Physics it's funny but my temp never drops until a couple of days into AF do I never get any warning. Hope you're not feeling too downhearted.

Jem I'm not in the list but I'm expecting number 3. I was 29 when I had my first though.

Head anyone picked out baby names? One of my friends used my baby girl name. Well I can't blame her. I said she could, we hadn't properly decided to go for number three so I couldn't exactly say, if I have another baby and if it's a girl I want this name so you can't have it!

How go people do OPKs?my internet cheapy ones say to leave 20 mins for the sample to get to room temperature before dipping. Does everyone do that?

Thanks Radders. Waiting for a miracle happen. Fingers and toes are crossed!
Safe to do poas at least a week after supposed AF. Somehow feeling a bit sick just now. The last 2 weeks have been like a rocket science, experiencing all sorts of symptoms I've never had before when knowing AF arriving every month. But since last month, and our first TTC, everything has changed. Woman's body is truly a minefield 😄

CD21 - 7dpo

Hello everybody!
Not much to report today. Still have creamy CM - it's gone more thick and creamy now rather than crumbly looking.

Still have dull AF type cramps

Just want to be at a stage to test now. Humph.

Russ sounds like got to keep waiting it out and see. Some people don't show BfP for a while.

Well 14 dpo here and I had a bit of spotting this am, but nothing since. Huge temp drop to 36.10 (see I am cold-blooded, as soon as it gets cold again and bam!).

So onwards and upwards!

Footprints - it says women getting pregnant in 2017 so think this must mean we're on the list for this year

Stopped pills 2-3 years ago.
As for potential tummy bug- we were in Zurich at that time and ate same dinner, I got up and straight away diarrhoea and vommited. Both runny (sorry tmi!) and we had spaghetti bolognese! By lunch I was fetting better! That's all strange to me! My tummy is usually cast iron! I've worked in Iraq for 4 years and never had tummy issues! Or food poisoning! Was walking earlier and felt light headed which is also unusual for me!
Footprints - cd42 and still nothing?!
Hope I'll know soon!

Sucha- my name isn't on that list either

Hi Russ, never heard of d&v during that stage dpo. Are u sure it's not a bug? Might just be coincidence. The other symptoms sound promising, I have experienced delayed ovulation which could adjust your dates hence the bfn right now. Maybe test again in a couple of days especially if you are having symptoms.
I'm on cd42 and 15dpo still have bfn too. Annoying isn't it

Jodders- u timed it right. Do u usually get ov pain? I read that it can increase energy and sex drive.

CD 13 According to FF I'm most fertile today, good thing we DTD last night then Will do it again tonight and tomorrow. Haven't taken an OPK yet. I don't have any real signs of impending ovulation. No cramping or pain. I'm in a super mood (could be weather), high energy and watery discharge.
Welcome Russ I guess it could be too early to test or AF might be just taking her time to show. We have had both happen on this thread. Have you recently stopped contraception?

Hi there, here's my little story of TTC#1 for a baby#1
OV - on CD16 (usually CD13)
6dpo - vomiting and diarrhoea as soon as I woke up. Never experienced anything like it before! When reading on Internet, it might be a sign of implantation on 5dpo. Experienced no blood spotting.
Between 7dpo-13dpo - some days was feeling nauseous in the morning snd sometimes no symptoms at all. And no PMS or AF symptoms leading to AF week.
Was expecting AF on CD29 - nothing.
Cd30 - still no signs of AF or any other symptoms
CD31 (15dpo) - took first PG test - BFN. Did 3 times that morning and still negative. And yet no signs of AF. Boobs started hurting very late at night. And noticed some pink discharge inside. Nothing on the panties.
Today CD32 - (16dpo) - took another PG test this morning - another BFN. Boobs are very sore. But no discharge inside.
I've never been that late and just dont know what to think about it all. Apart from waiting, I guess.
Is anybody experiencing the same? And has anybody been in the same boat before? And could advise?
Thank you!

Ooh and spotted this on my FB feed - the names of women most likely to get pregnant in the next year. I'm not on it hope this isn't a sign

Oops plus it's day 21 and 7 DPO today.

I've got the following;
Insomnia - a few nights
Too hot at night
Farty
Cramps
Tiredness
Moody - understatement

All of these are typical for this day in my cycle. The insomnia is a bit worse though.

tee lol at Dory, I can't wait for the new film this summer hope we get a Dory emoticon!

The diary is so helpful for me. It really brings me back to earth. I'll get some cramps and a sleepless night or two more windy than usual and think ah ha! that'll be the long awaited baby! A quick check to the same point previous cycles reminds me the exact same things happened before. It's surprising how early PMS kicks in.

Hopefully one of these months all those symptoms will actually be pregnancy, but they are all so similar to AF I need something really distinct to happen to actually get my hopes up.

Well done physic getting your citizenship!

Pink pad sounds a good idea sucha.

Tee When I look back on my symptoms from last month they are different? Apart from the cramping. Good to make a note of them though.
