Thread 2. #Ttc1. We weren't supposed to start yet, but the starting pistol (penis) has gone off. Join our journey as we navigate the ovia boat, pissy sticks and symptoms spotting

[StarkyTheDirewolf]

We weren't supposed to start till January! But we did!
Join us as we ttc #1 after pill/contraception etc.

We've got a boat, it makes frequent stops for wine, pissy sticks, wool, slings, cake and all manner of shit we don't need yet but we buy anyway!

I was going to say Runner - that horizontal line is most definitely there!!! So that's a +ve?!!

It's a CB test so the horizontal and right hand vertical lines are control lines. It's the fainter left vertical line (across the horizontal line to make a +) that is the test line.

Planning just check the spec of any test you're thinking of using. Ideally you want it to be a pink ink one (more reliable than blue) and either 10 or 15mlu. Lots of people get internet cheapies but these usually have to be dipped in a pot of wee. I prefer poas ones, retailers like Superdrug and Boots have their own brands or you can order a pack of 2 FRER online for about £8. Wish I'd ordered more, I wasn't expecting to get quite this obsessed!!!

Has anyone else downloaded Ovia Pregnancy? I held off because I wasn't pregnant but if you do and enter cd 1 it will tell you what's going on in your body (implantation etc.) wish I'd downloaded it earlier

runner I definetly see a line there! Congratulations! Ooh I'm so pleased for you guys but also wildly jealous it's so awesome though! I can't believe we've got two possible bfp already! Are we a lucky thread or what?!

Think I'm going to have to bring out the big guns later and cry real tears on Dh see if I can push up this start date he's imagined! He's off work tonight, I need a programme/film with cute realistic babies in it, not obem or the like, he just winces through that! Any suggestions?

Thanks runner! I may stock up on the SuperDrug ones in preparation!

I downloaded the Ovia app at the weekend and have been diligently filling it in since! I've learnt a lot about my body, just hoping that my cycles start regularising so that my FW predictions are accurate!

No I have the normal Ovia... But yeah I might just take a look into Ovia Pregnancy... I haven't told anyone really that we're trying so hoping no one sees me on these apps lol

Starky - not got cute babies in it but I've just watched all of the last and current series of catastrophe on 4od. It's hilarious - DH has really enjoyed it too. More about pregnancy than babies though.

I've just downloaded about 4 pregnancy apps. I'll try the Ovia one now. I'm going to run out of space!

New thread, woo hoo! Should we do a stats section now there are so many of us? Things like age, cycle number, where we are in our cycles, how long we've been off the pill, other stuff like that? I can't really think what might be relevant!

We are in a battle of wills in jest Dh waggled his willy at me earlier and went "you need me now" and did a willy dance, mainly involving thrusting sort of like a weird penis oriented time warp I love him, but I might have to murder him, I've told him I'm going to steal his sperm in his sleep I'm so lucky he appreciates my sense of humour

What's catastrophe about berg ? It sounds interesting and I love a good series marathon!

Ooh stats, I like it leonie

Starky, 29 years young, married 6 months, not officially ttc yet as Dh is enjoying his penis power trip, no hormonal contraception for 2 years, 5 days past wasted ovulation.

Exciting times runner and berg will be watching in the morning for further updates!!

No further news from me...still feel nothing!! I don't think I've ovulated yet, not had any cramps or EWCM. Only been off pill 2 weeks though so maybe I'm expecting too much too soon!

Is secret lives of 4 year olds on tonight?? Anyone know?

Can I join please?!! It has taken me the last few weeks to read through the last thread, which is getting more and more exciting!!! We have been thinking out ttc for the last 6 months, and are now planning on starting in December / January. We did nearly start to ttc a few months back, but then I got offered a new job, so decided to put it off until I was settled in. I used this sort of an excuse as I panicked a bit about having a baby. I am not totally sure I am ready to ttc, but time is not on my side, as I’m nearly 33. When I think about the reality of being pregnant and having a child I feel overwhelmed! Does anyone else feel like this?
I am sure I will get totally engrossed in the process of ttc; I have put in an order for ovulation sticks, so I can start to chart from next month!!
PS I have already planned to use re-usable nappies, which I think is a sign I am ready!

Wow, I've missed a lot. Hope everyone is well :-)

Bergmont, any more news? So exciting that there's a potential BFP!!

Hi everyone,

Took me ages to catch up on this new thread!!! So excited for you bergamot and runner!!! I'm not entirely convinced it was AF arriving today as was only a small amount this morning and nothing since

Stats
I'm 26, been wanting a baby since I was 15! Been with OH for almost 8 years and engaged for nearly 3 months. Been off chemical contraception for 2 months and am on CD 28 / 1 (unsure if AF has arrived today). First month of TTC but only decided half way through this month to start now as we were originally going to try after Xmas.

Will start DTD as much as possible after AF to try to get the BFP on 4weeks! X X

Girls, you've been busy!! In many ways by the sounds of it!!

Stark thanks for reorganising us! That willy dance sounds a bloomin tease!!

Berg Runner these are exciting times!! totally jealous too!! fingers crossed for tomorrow!!

purple and bunch my cycle twins I am ready to hit the ground running this cycle! Ov sticks are go! The big O should be in the next 5 days I reckon. bunch that is great news about Xmas!! "All I want for Christmas...is a willy dance!"

Would you believe I haven't peed on a stick yet! Hoping this might be the month I have to!

I have the ovia app and I use it to track ovulation - I've just started temping - what's the difference with the ovia pregnancy one? Can you use it before you're actually preggers?

Ooh BFPs! Congrats!

I'm soooo tempted to POAS tomorrow, but I told myself I'll wait until Saturday... Hmm... I don't see that happening.

Stats...

Age - 28
Cycle- 1
CD-17

1st month off pill...all very scary/exciting!!! Pretty sure I haven't ovulated yet though, had no symptoms at all so far! Feel pretty much the same as I did when on pill!

Haha Ni you made me laugh with the Xmas reference. I ovulate early it seems as ovulation pains yesterday and today and ewcm today and yesterday.

Stats
Age- 29 (30 in 3 weeks)
Cycle- #2
Try- #1
CD- 13
Pill free- nearly 7 months

2.5 hours time and counting!!

That's it, I refuse to test again until I'm late!

I'm fed up of squinting at near invisible lines yes, I think there bloody was one again!! I'm not even going to remove the test strip to get a better look because I'm just fed up! If I was upduffed surely I should have had a clear positive today after all the squinted over the past few days so I am going to conclude that I'm not grumpety, grumpety, grump, grump

I think it probably is best to wait a bit longer runner. If it helps I don't think mine this morning is any different to yesterday's tests. I think the levels will be so low that it'll remain unclear for a few days yet. I bet it'll turn out positive but you just have to give it time.
