TTC first baby #3

[Popinda]

So here is another thread. Good luck everyone! baby dust everywhere!

Bearing in mind the spotting (and the fact I wasn't using the OPKs correctly as I wasn't giving them 10 mins to develop until the end of the week) I could have OV'd anywhere between Tues - Friday last week! Though my app said Thurs, based on a 29 day cycle.

Does DPO include OV day, or start the day after? I read that implantation spotting can occur from 6 - 12 days DPO, so am still thinking kidding myself that that could be what I've had the last 2 days. Arrrghhhh...I was having a laugh when I thought I wouldn't symptom spot!

FX for both of us, Dulcet.

I would say that DPO starts after ov. Just because it's days post-ovulation so I would take that to be days after. I don't know for sure though.

Implantation can last a couple of days if it light I think. Do you normally get spotting? I never do (except last bloody month!) so would be unusual for me but its not for some people.

Hard not to symptom spot when it is happened in your body!

I only ever got spotting on the pill, which is why I went on to the injection, but it's been so long since I was without BC that I have NO idea!

I had spotting during OV last week (which is apparently rare) and now this week when I could have implantation. But it could just be my body being cruel. I'm cramping every now and then still too.

I'm either preggers or my body thinks it's hilarious to plat tricks on me and make me a hormonal, angry, spotty, crampy wreck!

Unfortunately it's easy to mix those two up! The body seems to do a good job of replicating what you would expect if pg. I felt more pg last month though, this time I'm annoyed about the lack of symptoms really!

I felt bugger all last month really, in comparison! But I don't think I OV'd, which would explain it.

Ho hum, Dulcet (taps fingers on imaginary desk while waiting!).

You said it went quickly but it's still wednesday!

Not for long, and bed soon!

I also got my call from cb today during the middle of the day, I only posted mine Monday as well. Told her af due tomorrow so she said I wouldn't be able to start trial until next month

That's a bugger. Wonder why no call for me :-(

Here's something weird for you...for the last 2 days I've not felt like my teeth / mouth are clean, even if I brush for ages. Google suggests other people have had that, but surely not?! Nothing I've ever experienced before though.

That's extreme symptom spotting!

You're call will come nicola.

I know what you mean about you're mouth not feeling clean, no matter how much I drink through the day my mouth has been feeling really dry

Am off to the nurse this morning so will have a ttc chat as well as what I'm going for

Yeah, dry and horrible and dirty. Odd!

Let us know if you get given any useful info. :-)

That is a weird possible symptom!

I can't lose any weight this week it seems, is that a symptom?! It's really annoying me!

I'm sure they will call you nicola. They might be on the phone to you now I guess! I posted mine through work and find that always gets things there quite quickly.

I also posted mine through work dulcet so maybe that's why.

Nurse was about as much use as a chocolate teapot re ttc, all she asked was whether I was taking folic acid and fingers crossed af doesn't arrive today! And that we hadn't been trying long, even for my age

I keep forgetting to take my folic acid. Not had any since Sunday! Think I might buy some more at lunch to keep at work. Take the label off of course, then they are just vitamins!

Sorry she wasn't much cop lisa. You'll have to rely on our top tips instead! haha!

Trust me dulcet I do rely on all the tips I get from here and share them with hubby

Lisa when are you going to test?

Dulcet I keep forgetting too I was taking folic first thing with breakfast and then I read the packet saying that you should have it with your main meal...I never remember in the evening! I'm now giving vitamins to DH! It can't hurt :) Are you on a diet then?

Not a diet as such, just been eating better and exercise a lot. I've lost 3 stone now which is great, pleased I managed it before TTC. I usually manage 1lb a week but I can't pull away this week. At first I thought it was my wine indulgence at the weekend but I should have made some difference on that by now.

Didn't know you were meant to take with meals. I better remember that too!

Do you tell hubby where you are getting the info from though lisa?? Mine knows I am on here but probably not how much.

Dulcet wow 3 stone is amazing! I lost 2 stone two years ago and managed to keep it off by healthy eating like you say. Annoyingly though I now can't afford so many new clothes to show off my new figure...sods law!

I take it with breakfast...I figure Weetabix is heavy enough to do whatever is necessary!

Now doubting if I took it today though! May take one later, just in case.

By the way, it's really cheap online from Chemist Direct. :-)

Thanks newbie! Clothes are a problem, I don't want to get too much in case shape changes but nothing fits anymore. I'm kind of inbetween sizes really. This will be my first gain week since January though if I can't get rid by the morning. Stupid wine! haha. My own fault!

Thanks for the tip nicola. Never used Chemist Direct but seen them advertised. I'm hoping the forgetting won't cause too much of a problem. Plenty of people get pregnant accidently and they won't have had any.

I'm the same, Newbie...lost 2 stone this time last year and have kept it off.

No money for new clothes either!

Aren't we all good :-)

I think the older you are, the more important folic acid is.

Oh I know at least 5 friends with babies who have still never heard of folic a acid. My friend who is 5mth told me last weekend she needs to go and buy some vitamins but keeps on forgetting. Honestly ladies I nearly hit her on the head with a frying pan ;) (obviously wouldn't and was just frustrated with her laid back attitude). Anyway, just trying to say I think it's great stuff (fa) but not going to stress myself out when I forget :)

Forgot to mention that I keep having kittens in the morning after FMU thinking I should be collecting...when I shouldn't! I'm really taking the relaxed approach to TTC
