Thought I would create a fresh thread as the original had been going since Feb. This is for anyone TTC #1, a bit of moral support as we all attempt to embark on the scary journey that is parenthood! Join us if you are a mix of terrified and excited, don't really know what you're doing yet and hadn't heard of CM before you started reading Mumsnet!!

Boots and Superdrug definitely do if there's one near you?

Not surprised you're shaking! Have got all fingers crossed GrinGrinGrinGrin

BusyNothings · 11/08/2016 10:28

Where stocks them?! I haven't moved I'm sat here just staring at it and shaking! My dogs think I'm broken they keep nudging me!

Pyjamas81 · 11/08/2016 10:25

BusyNothings · 11/08/2016 10:20

I love my mooncup, been using one for at least 8 years now, can't go back..I cut the stalk off too.

I'm still peeing on an opk a day... Still nothing anywhere near positive since that day 8 one that I think was a fluke? CD 19 and no changes in CM to super stretchy ewcm so far this month, in fact I've gone from watery to creamy already missing ew stage altogether?! just dtd 2-3 times a week, luckily my sex drive has come back having come off the pill! Figuring I may be in for a long cycle this month if I ov later.

Excited for the weekend for you testers..!

Pyjamas81 · 11/08/2016 08:30

Did you test in the end this morning busy? Am on the edge of my seat here!

And AF has left the building already - another two day period. Which is great, and AF was always about 3 days long in the past, but 2 is seeming very short!

BusyNothings · 10/08/2016 22:18

Tight? Stupid phone! Tough! Grrr

BusyNothings · 10/08/2016 22:17

Ah that's good, nothing wrong with being worried for you! It has been a tight month for you but you've done well to stay positive and get back on with things!

I've not done fmu yet i might as well try that tomorrow. I've just done another test and I swear I'm going line blind. Nothing there but my brain is filling in the blanks. I don't want to order a frer or clear blue though im scared it'll jinx it or something equally stupid.

Jjspoon · 10/08/2016 21:58

No he wasn't mad thankfully! Just gave me a look and I felt really sheepish. I think he's just worried how I will take a BFN after such an emotional month with the mc. I will defo wait a few more days now! AF should be due Sunday but who knows! Still feel mid cycle at the moment; creamy cm and no spots which usually crop up a few days before AF so feel like I might be in for a longer cycle this month.

Hahah have you done fmu yet or just during the day?

BusyNothings · 10/08/2016 21:42

Lol smooth like the scarlet pimpernel! Was he mad? My dh is useless he just goes "do what you want dear" like come on man give me rules or I'll be poas every hour! When is your AF due?

I've just counted I have like 20 cheapie tests. I can feel myself getting up to go and poas. seriously?! I'm a mad woman n

Jjspoon · 10/08/2016 21:33

I honestly felt crazy. Also.... dp told me last night not to test until after af is due (which I was planning on waiting for) but then I had that mad moment and thought a cheeky little test cant hurt I just wont tell him. He's just came in and said you've left your piss pot on the side. Oops 😂 gave the game away.

Busy I don't blame you, if I had cheapies I'd do a lot more but I think the cost of cb's stops me haha. Surely one of you has to get a BFP this month! Fx for you.

BusyNothings · 10/08/2016 21:27

jj that sounds amazing I want that stick! I would enjoy that way too much!

Sorry for the bfn but I understand the crazy urge to test! I've already done one test today and want to do another! Why?£

Jjspoon · 10/08/2016 21:08

*wee not week...

Jjspoon · 10/08/2016 21:08

Also, it was one I'd forgotten about that the hospital gave me to do so it came with a little pipette and I had to drop 3 drops of weeks on to the little spot. I felt like a frickin mad scientist.

Pyjamas81 · 10/08/2016 21:07

Oh I cut the stalky bit off - hate the stalky bit!

I got obsessed with opk lines - POAS is such a terrible addiction!

Jjspoon · 10/08/2016 21:05

I had a bit of a crazy minute earlier and poas... bfn of course, I even took it outside for a squint Blush don't know what else I was expecting lol. Sigh. Just want this cycle to hurry up. I was so chilled last cycle as well so now I'm a bit angry at myself for causing unnecessary disappointment.

BusyNothings · 10/08/2016 20:52

Mmmm maybe one day pj. The stalk-y bit creeps me out.

Ah so you have plenty of time eva! I'm keeping fingers crossed for you!

I swear poas is like getting a tattoo. Now I've done one I want to do more! Wtf is wrong with me?!

Pyjamas81 · 10/08/2016 20:44

They're the best invention ever busy. I will never go back!

Ha ha - sounds like it was a good weekend Smile

I'll raise a toast to your BFP Eva if you can't join me!!

Eva30 · 10/08/2016 20:34

pyjamas I reckon I'll be joining you having some wine this weekend Grin
busy the cramps sound good, fx for Saturday

Eva30 · 10/08/2016 20:32

So far I've had 29 & 30 day cycles so that'd be AF due on Sat or Sun (cd26 today) but I ov later than usual (cd17 v cd15) so AF might be later than usual? Pregnacare messed me up this cycle Sad I've been off it a week now, how long do you reckon it takes to get out of the system?

BusyNothings · 10/08/2016 20:30

No judgement here pj moon cups intrigue me but don't think I'd ever have the guts to use one. Me and my best mate often talk about them as we are a bit hippyish lol and feel we should but just never actually try them!

Pub. I'm jealous. After how much I drank at the weekend I'm now crapping myself that if I do somehow magically get a bfp I'm going to feel guilty for 9 months!

Pyjamas81 · 10/08/2016 20:15

And the only thing I've planned for the weekend busy is the pub!!

Pyjamas81 · 10/08/2016 20:14

The AF cramps have definitely gone - will know whether AF has gone later when I remove my mooncup. I know what you're thinking - oh god a crusty old mooncup hippy lol. But, not one dreadlock in sight - it's just sanitary towels make me feel like I'm wearing a nappy and even the lightest flow tampon turns my hoo-ha into the Sahara desert! Which isn't fun for anyone.

I'll start with the CB digi opks on CD7, want to make sure I don't miss anything as my cycles are so unpredictable! Can't wait for flashing smiley face hell again ha ha

BusyNothings · 10/08/2016 20:03

Haha pj sounds like you definitively deserve a boozy weekend! You doing anything special?

Is your AF due on Saturday eva? How many dpo will you be?

I keep getting this heavy almost cramp but not cramp feeling low in my stomach where I imagine my uterus to be lol. It's not cramps it just feels heavy and weird and twingy. Wtf? I keep thinking AF has turned up and going to the bathroom to check. My dh thinks I'm a lunatic.

Eva30 · 10/08/2016 20:00

Yeah, but they're not as high as previous months (when bfn - maybe it's a good sign after all). I'm just reading too much in to everything.
Has AF gone now pyjamas? What cd will you start with the CB monitor?
