TTC first baby #2

[NicolaHazel]

Due to the luck thread starters have, I thought I'd mark a place for the second thread as we are so chatty!

Here's to BFPs for us all :-)

[Newbie2]

Ok I'm coming back and I've decided to tell myself I'm not pregnant at all just so I can feel a bit more sane!

[NicolaHazel]

Good plan!!

[BB01]

DulcetMoans - thank you!! So obvious now you say - I kind of knew what it meant but not what it stood for, if you know what I mean. Whereas with 2WW I didn't have a clue for ages - kept thinking of the second world war!!

[Newbie2]

Ok to confirm my new rational thinking that 'i am not pregnant' I have brought a first response 6 day early test. I will whip that out on Monday morning and have something to look forward to other then the working week ahead

[DulcetMoans]

haha. Great rational thinking newbie. Gives us all something to look forward to!

[NicolaHazel]

I like your style! :-)

[Newbie2]

Well you know you don't plan a battle without any weapons on board :)

[DulcetMoans]

So I got this period diary app someone recommended (I basically seem to do whatever you guys say!) and it reckons Weds is my most fertile night. Is that a bit soon? That would be cd11. I think I need to look into ovulation a bit more, make sure I understand!

[NicolaHazel]

Depends how long your cycle is...maybe that's so you have swimmers waiting for the egg?

[DulcetMoans]

Oh yeah, that was based on 25 day cycle.

[NicolaHazel]

Which app is it? So many of them to choose from!

[NicolaHazel]

Ah yes, apparently you ovulate 14 days before AF.

[Newbie2]

I love that you take my advice...don't always believe it though! Dulcet it was me who last spoke about Period Diary App. I've looked at different apps and found this to be the most friendly. I use it to track my symptoms and predict the future dates. However, you have to take this information with a pinch of salt! It told me I was due to ovulate two days before my LH surge showed up on CB sticks. These apps and calendars can only guess...nobody knows your body better then you and the OV sticks (hence why I highly recommend the sticks or CBFM if you're trying to work out ovulation times). The app is great for storing dates and it calculates things for you which is helpful. Let me know if you have any ovulation questions I can help with!

[Newbie2]

By the way my cramping stopped for the journey home from work and has just started again. Not a very interesting update :)

[EchoDragon]

I'm a woman in POAS heaven my IC pg and ov sticks are here. Now I just need to practice stealth peeing.

How exciting!

[NicolaHazel]

If I search for period diary app I get loads of results. Which developer is yours, Newbie?

No positive OPK today.

[Newbie2]

I also should say iPeriod is also very good. A little more complex and you need to enter two cycle dates but my OV prediction was spot on!

[Newbie2]

Nicola try P.D. Or Period Log?

[Newbie2]

Nicola I just typed Period diary and it came up. It's by nano software. Bright pink with a big daisy

[Newbie2]

Echo welcome to POAS heaven

[DulcetMoans]

That's the one I have too. I've seen it can log symptons etc. And when you are 'intimate'. I will just stick to the EOD plan, get plenty of the little fellas up there waiting hopefully. I've decided this egg is going to be an airline pilot so me and DP can get some nice free holidays in our old age!

[Newbie2]

Ok I think I know what my cramps are. I've just read that it takes 6 days for the egg to travel down the tube to your uterus. While it is travelling your stomach lining contracts to help the egg move along. Some people will experience cramps when this happens.

During these 6 days the egg splits into cells. After 6 days the cells are then embed into the womb. You're not pregnant until this point of implantation! Hence why there is no point testing early!

Horrah I've finally found some answers!

[NicolaHazel]

Now that is intetesting, Newbie. :-)

I'll hunt that app down now, ta.
