TTC - First time!

Frer say not necessary but it is the strongest so always best xx

TTC that's what I thought I've heard mixed reviews but thought it would be best when ripe (I'll need to grow some balls too)

Best to use FMU tuxie as that's when HCG levels would be highest!

twisted I had a few funny pains down low in early DPO so that sounds good. I've only had one cycle post pill but it was as normal as can be. Day before due on I was cranky as a mofo and an utter cow - but after my period was normal, and it was fine. I had no abnormal pains or anything so I found it unusual to have lots of bloating and cramps in the days that followed.

Thanks for being a lovely bunch girls.
Thoughts on if a test needs to be used on first morning pee or doesn't matter?

This thread is amazing & I'm honestly so great full to you all for the support xx

I also have strange pains low down, extreme tiredness & funny headaches. But I'm trying not to convince myself because I'm a person who gets easily tired & suffers migraines anyway with a pretty hectic job that has gone off the charts at the moment. The internal struggle continues of yay it's a sign/no it's not!!

I feel like desire lack of OPKs DH & I really made an effort this month & we had fun rather than dtd being a chore. Fingers crossed tentatively but I don't want to build myself up as I'm rather sensitive at the moment anyway with stress & conflict at work.

Twisted I was just going to say isn't that a sign?! Probably too early but you never know!

We're going to need a new thread soon, almost at 1000 posts! This thread has been such great support

I don't blame you, I've only done it once or twice and can't see it being a habit

I think CM can be different for everyone, I had v thick creamy from 8DPO ish. Is it something you've noticed before? If not it could be a good sign!

No, I'm a bit squeamish tbh.

I was more hopeful it could mean this it the month!! Wishful thinking

Twisted if it's tiny I wouldn't worry too much, Have you done a CM check?

So I have a weird one. I am fairly certain I ovulated on time, as usual. Had usual ewcm & pains etc but no opks. Today I had the tiniest amount of ewcm at 4dpo!! Wtf??

Misty got to say your posts have me cracking up 😂👌🏼

Marie I think AF is due 2nd march but as it's my first full month off the pill I'm not sure how accurate that will be!

Mrsj must be hard for you- I think everyone gets that slight twinge of jealousy when they see the news, but got my fx for you when you choose to test xx

Hahaha tuxie 😂 oh girls I love this thread lol.
Can't wait for the tests now!!
I'm weirdly feeling totally cool about everything, I defo know the sore boobies are from impending af (due in 8 days and last 3 cycles I've had bad boobs from 3/4 days post ov, first couple of times I've convinced myself it's pg but I've wised up to my af symptoms now) but the crazy dancing defo hasn't helped, can tell I'm 32 not 22 any more lol one night of partying and I'm struggling for days! Didn't drink much, only a couple of wines but defo went ott on the dancing, aching more than I do after circuits class lol.x

Oh my god 😂😂 massive fail hahahaha

deffo mean to be anwhat a cow even bloody technical stuff

marie it's good to be bitchy! I don't think any woman can say that every PG announcement they have gone through they haven't once thought that they wished it was them! It's a bit weird practise to say how long it took I think? If it's taken a while then bask in the excitement but I don't think I would gloat it only took one go!

TTC just keep having some good sexy time and 🤞🏻that's all it takes. I honestly didn't realise just how exhausting having so much sex could be!!

charl good luck for you 2WW! I'll be testing tomorrow or even Friday if I can hold out/period doesn't turn up 🤞🏻

Mrsj what a cow some people are lucky!

mrsjkerry it must be so hard trying to keep expectations to a minimum... How many days now before you test?

Charl19 when's your AF due? It's my first cycle too so I'm in the same boat... I would be over the moon with a BFP but not holding my breath!

Ttcnovice my best friend got Pg the first month but it took my sister in law 3 months so I'm just trying to keep it in my head the you never really know how long it would take to conceive! I wish I was like the people who hardly think about it and there Pg!!! 🙈

Sorry been off this for a day or 2 so just catching up!!

Fxd for your bfps ladies!! Who is testing and when? Been following this for so long so quite excited for you all ☺️☺️

I am still in my 2ww (feels like forever) but not expecting anything other than AF as only first month of seeing how thing goes! X

Thanks tuxie I was so positive last month after getting the highs and peaks on the textbook days it said in the pack, so it's just strange this month! Just going to keep DTD and hope for the best this month, think that's all I can do really! That's so sweet and sad at the same time about your DH bless him! Hopefully you'll be texting him good news instead once you test though 🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼

Marie No judgement from here, I'm exactly the same! Baby bombs from everywhere lately, and all but one have been from people saying they either weren't trying at all, or got their BFP straight away.

tuxie11 I can't imagine how much you must be itching to test!! I really really hope AF doesn't arrive and you get your BFP!
And yeah, I know it's hard as we never know the other person's story... I'm just having a slightly bitchy, impatient day! You can guarantee I'll be cooooing over the baby pics when they arrive on fb though 😂

MistyBxx yeah I can guarantee I'll end up being one of the ones to post loads on fb when I do eventually get a BFP!
It hard to distinguish between AF symptoms and possible Pg symptoms! Fx your sore boobs are a Pg sign and not just a sign of wild dancing lol!!

marie no judgement here whatsoever 😝 I get you completely. It's so annoying but I suppose on the other hand we have no idea if it was a first time good try or they've been planning for ages. Though my cousin whose recently had a baby said he can't even go near his wife without her getting PG 🙄

Marie fingers crossed anyway it can't help to have some hope 😬

TTC that's rubbish 🙁 Would there be such thing as only getting a high, perhaps the hormones aren't high enough for the test, I've no idea the sensitivity on them. Hugs. If it's stressing you out I would be inclined to step away and clear your head. Sometimes it can work wonders, but I completely get having as much info for the doc as poss.

I thought the 2WW was bad enough but the day before period is due is the worst! I feel like it might just sneak out with a middle finger up. Worst thing is my DH is away and he said every text I send fills him with dread that I've come on!

Deffo wishing I was one of the 'my period is over a month late I've been too busy to realise and now I'm pregnant' people (i think they are a rare breed in all honesty!!)
