Just a thought Grin

Oh choccy :( don't give up yet, come on you and me have to get to Friday!

We don't tell anyone we re ttc. Too personal for me. And I worry it will drag on for years and become an awkward subject :(

I didn't tell anyone I was pregnant with ds until I started showing (well apart from dp of course!). If I had it my way I wouldn't tell anyone until I had my baby safe in my arms :) I always have the feeling of not wanting to jinx things and for some reason i feel the fewer people who know these things the better.

I had to tell people I was expecting at around 16 weeks as I had a bump that I couldn't disguise anymore Grin

Imaginary Did the b6 have any effect on your lp in the first month?

ImaginaryHat · 16/09/2013 22:16

V Jones my nipples have been going crazy for a few days now, really tingly and actually a bit painful, it woke me up the other night! I wondered if it was a side effect of the b6 or just body gearing up for ov, but I've never felt anything like it before!

VJONES1985 · 16/09/2013 22:18

Hmm, if I'm gearing up for ov the either my opks were wrong or I didn't actually ovulate and my body is trying again...

ImaginaryHat · 16/09/2013 22:19

My lp lengthened by 1 day from 10 to 11 but what I was really pleased about is that I didn't get the spotting I had been getting from 7-8dpo, which I'm convinced means bad news for ttc. Hoping for the same this month, or a bfp of course!

VJONES1985 · 16/09/2013 22:20

Oh no, I'm starting to worry again. Must stay calm!!

ImaginaryHat · 16/09/2013 22:21

Could be VJones, keep dtd just in case!

VJONES1985 · 16/09/2013 22:22

Yeah, we will. I hope b6 doesn't delay ovulation??

ImaginaryHat · 16/09/2013 22:24

Don't worry, I'm sure our bodies do all sorts when were not looking, it's just we notice and analyse every twitch and pain when were ttc! I'm sure your body's still just settling into life post pill. No stressing allowed!

jessieagain · 16/09/2013 22:24

In regards to whether I'm optimistic or pessimistic this month I'm leaning towards pessimistic with a silver lining.

This month I've had not physical signs at all which is why I'm pessimistic but I have been on the pms rollercoaster with my moods (more than I have with my previous cycles this year and it is very reminiscent of the pms I had before ds.

So I think that shows my cycles are back on track and I'm ovulating and fertile (i hope!) :)

VJONES1985 · 16/09/2013 22:26

Yes, I'm sure you're right. Think we will dtd every day for the next few days and then perhaps every two days for a while just in case.

ImaginaryHat · 16/09/2013 22:26

I think some people have said it can do, but I'm not actually bothered about that as long as it increases my lp too! I'm sure your opks would still tell you when you're due to ov, it would just be a few days later?

jessieagain · 16/09/2013 22:28

How long does a lp need to be for successful conception? I can't remember

Sparrowlegs248 · 16/09/2013 22:29

I hadn't thought of the claws!! He is quite a hairy cat....

So i have a couple of bfp vuddies yey!!

I am feeling on off nausea. For the last 2 - 3 days. Tired. Achey legs for no reason. Uber grumpy. Pain earlier towards left side - just twingy pain. Think thats everything!

Sparrowlegs248 · 16/09/2013 22:30

I think 9 days is considered short 12 - 14 normal.

VJONES1985 · 16/09/2013 22:33

According to Dr Google, sore nipples can occur after ovulation and are caused by an increase in progesterone. So I'm taking that as a sign that ov has happened, which has made me smile :-)

m33r · 16/09/2013 22:35

Hurrah vj! Back to relaxing!

ImaginaryHat · 16/09/2013 22:38

Glad that's put your mind at rest, dunno what's causing mine then, not ov'd yet!

Some promising symptoms there notta!

jessieagain · 16/09/2013 22:38

Thanks notta mine is 8+ days so far, possibly 14 (!) but I do have longer cycles than average so that makes sense. Just more waiting time. I wish I had shorter cycles!

VJONES1985 · 16/09/2013 22:40

Imaginary Lots of women get sore nips when they ovulate so hopefully it's a sign that ovulation is on the horizon for you.

ImaginaryHat · 16/09/2013 22:44

Fingers crossed!

Choccywoccydodah · 17/09/2013 06:37

Morning all, just to let you know I'm hopping off. Af I assume is here as still red, nothing on pad, but there every time I wipe (sorry tmi) and test is bfn, ((sigh)).

Good luck to those testing over the next few days, hope you all get big fat bfps Smile

Anyway, I hope not to see too many of you over on the October bus, good luck to you all Grin

jessieagain · 17/09/2013 07:15
