No Symptoms, No Google, No sticks

[KickingUpQuestions]

Due to overwhelming monthly disappointments, a few of us have decided to go the traditional route.

Coupled with that, we know that one CAN'T have pregnancy symptoms unless one is ACTUALLY pregnant and that only actually happens after implantation. Which is normally about 10DPO then it takes a couple days to show up in the urine etc etc so pregnancy symptoms can only really be felt at about 13DPO.

The purpose of this thread is three fold:

• Support in TTC (mostly for first-timers)
• No symptom spotting allowed AT ALL
• Trying to exclude sticks (but we know that sometimes they're necessary)

So this will be practical application of theories and science.

We pledge to be honest and open and practical.
We pledge to give utmost support to each other in our struggle TTC
And we pledge to not give false hope or support symptom spotting until well after 13DPO

oh man pleeeeeeeeeeeeeease don't let me end up with a 6 week cycle!!!

what's a "hump hump hump" message?? or don't i want to know...?!!

It's the ultimate expression of love and a preparation for intended marital relations later on at home :D

I literally just message him saying "hump hump hump"

And maybe a "hump hump" two minutes later

Hi - I'd love to join in this chat. :) BF and I have just decided not to use any contraception. We're not necessarily 'trying' but we're not trying not to get pregnant either. I'm taking folic acid but that's all we're doing to try and 'plan' it. No ovulation sticks/monitors or charting or anything. Maybe if in 6 months I've had nothing we'd give that a go but we're happy to just try it the chilled out way first. xx

Welcome!

Be warned, this TTC lark is highly infectious. Just remember that there are no symptoms except for a missed AF and a positive pregnancy test.

Everything else is in your mind :)

welcome weeblueberry sounds like this is the right place for you then, pull up a chair :)

i would love to see my DHs face if he got a random text off me just saying "hump hump hump"......would be priceless haha!

oohhhh I nearly died in spin today - the gym is in a basement so no windows or fresh air circulating, and the aircon was broken....sweaty doesn't cover it! Grim. Must have burnt a fair few cals though :o

Mine splutters. I know he does. Then he gets this big grin!

Try it ;)

Thanks for the welcome guys. :)

Sadly my boyfriends sex drive is MUCH lower than mine so I think if I sent him a message saying 'hump hump hump' he'd just roll his eyes and think 'ugh, again?' ;)

Wow that's weird. Mine is insatiable!

He gets me to plan when he is going to "get some"...

Lol @ the hump hump hump txts haha! Welcome blueberry

I have the same problem re sex drive sometimes I feel I'm pestering him tho we 9 times out of 10 manage 3x a week (failing that I'll sort myself out hehe)

Re long cycle - it honestly made me so depressed mainly because in a year that's only 8 chances instead of 12 so put more pressure on me and dp around ov! hoping this or epo is what's made me ov cd16 I had all the signs from cramps to ewcm and a positive opk so hoping it was actually ov and not just a surge and the luteal phase only last about 14/15 days max if I'm right?

pinkie that sounds like OV to me!

haha kicking loving the hump hump txts - if I sent that to my DH he'd prob call me up and say "what you on about?"

Welcome blueberry

I'm gonna try it when he's recovered from these 12hr shifts!

When does he finish his shifts pinkie? I wonder if his job is similar to mine, I work random hours too. Didn't manage to dtd until cd11 this month because of work! Back on earlies now though which is working out well as back to eod now.

Last one tomorrow phew (so weds realistically!!) Usually works until 5 but they've been so busy he's been doing loads of overtime going in early and staying late

Oh god I've just been looking at prams what's gotten into me!!! Silvercross btw old fashioned type

Quinny for me! I love 'em

DTD for us last night. Going to bed early tonight though.Shattered...

Do borrowed phone this morning... 'why are you looking at prams?? Busted!

I 'Hump hump humped' today.

No response!! :-)

Haha! I'm gonna try it tomorrow!

:o:o at both of you, too funny!

Sent again and got a 'Humpy hump?' back!!!

HA HA he's SINGING

I thought all ttc obsessed women looked at prams, no?

Mines an icandy

Isn't it funny how we get all embarrassed thinking about things we do but mostly, all women do the same??

My DH bought an England baby-grow from M&S

Beat that :D

I haven't looked at prams yet - wouldn't even know where to start, plus I'm too superstitious an don't want to jinx myself! I have however mentally planned the layout of the future nursery (ie spare room) and have a shortlist of names that changes daily :)
