Ttc#1 THREAD 3. Some bfp's, some bfn's, cervical mucus examination class of what was supposed to be January 2016.

[StarkyTheDirewolf]

Join us. It's a boat. Full of okp's and symptom spotting and insanity! But also much love and support! We were supposed to start next month, we already have a few bfp's! Our dps don't know what's hit them!

Hahahaha... I'm also quite buxom. I don't think my dh will ever meet my eye again if the girls get any bigger. I'm quite anxious about gaining more weight though as I'm already quite well rounded. Silly thing to be anxious about really,considering.

Well I've been in my fertile window for 7 and a half minutes and I'm not pregnant yet... annoying!

Ikwym snow I have a propensity for filling out a bit, and I had to stop weight training as I put on muscle silly quickly! Im just planning on trying to eat normally, not "eating for two" as it were, and being in a better patten with my food. I am however planning on sleeping for two...or three..or six, heck, I don't need an excuse to sleep! It's not silly to be anxious though, I'm worried I'm going to be a sack of spuds during and after

Another huge crash directly outside my house! Jesus I nearly shit myself! I swear someone's going to have to die before they do something about it, and the girl in the car was very lucky she wasn't injured! 17, just passed her test, clearly had a drink! Two cars written off! 5 in total written off outside my house in the last week! Had to ring the police etc, no idea what I said, jobber in mess! My heart was quite literally in my arse and my stomach turned over 3 times! medically impossible but factual!

Jesus stark that's awful, is it a back road or something?

Another BFN for me ladies, ffs!!

Just getting ready for my first day back to work but this looks very much like a squinter to me. (Photo has not been edited)

Oh my goodness! stark! that's awful! You must live on some bend! Hope you managed some sleep afterwards.

runner I can see it too!! . Congratulations! ! No eggnog for you.
Of course we will need daily tests done now until it shows bright pink.

Runner
Eeek!!! That's not even a squinter! That's a line! And actual real line!
I think congratulations are in order

Yep, we need daily line progress updates!

That's great news runner

Stark that sounds awful, glad the girl was OK and hope you managed to calm down enough to get some sleep!

I have no idea what my body is up to so shall see what today brings and hopefully finish the blinking wedding photo album Christmas presents in time to get to bed at a sensible hour and have enough energy for DTD...! In theory (Ovia) fertile window starts tomorrow but I have been vaguely spotting more or less since af so cycle not really back to normal I guess post pill - I will not give in to OPK....!

Oh got Stark that's awful! We had a similar problem in the next street to mine only cars were crashing into the front of the houses! Happened 3 times in a year before they put up bollards.

Shelb sorry about the BFN :-(

Thanks Drink, Dr I'm trying not to get too excited yet. I'm going to wait until tomorrow and test with a FRER and if that's positive I might use the clear blue digital that I have put by. I don't think I'll believe it's an actual positive until I have it on several tests.

Have shown OH, he conceded there's a line but told me not to get to excited and test again tomorrow. He then spent about 10 minutes staring at it. I'm assuming he was thinking "Shit, what have I done" lol

Runner yeyyyyyyyy I can see it!!!

This is my opk from FMU...

shelb you need some hpt sticks! That's another positive.
from what I've read a positive opk after OV can mean pregnancy.

I caved and tested 8dpo. BFN. I need to hold out until 12 days I think.
Feet very sick this morning in waves, but I think that's from a headache and no sleep.

Runner I see a line too! I'm normally rubbish at line spotting but there is something there. Hopefully it will continue to get stronger. How many days overdue are you for AF, or are you not overdue yet?

Stark, that's awful, do you live on a busy road?

Shelb - are they both from this morning?

I had a bit of a meltdown last night. OH basically said no to sex, I think all this TTC malarkey is wearing him out! We DTD on Tuesday and I feel like I have no idea what's going on with my cycle anyway so am just hoping Tuesday and then probably again tonight will be fine. Need to give the poor man time to recover

Struggling to keep up with this thread but am checking in to see how you're all getting on and omg Runner I'm so excited for you!!

Aww pink it's so hard isn't it, balancing timing it right whilst still keeping a normal relationship. You are only meant to DTD every other day apparently so hang in there as that seems about right.

Yeah both this morning - green opk blue hcg. Trying not to read too much into the opk as know it could indicate AF imminent.

Yey again runner! Look forward to another photo tomorrow!

Drink sorry bfn, early early days though

Oh pink We've all been there.
I'll never forget my dh face when he refused one night, so I suggested he just knock one off in a pot and I would do the rest! .
I had thought that they recommend every other day anyhow. If you wanted you could use a softcup to keep the swimmers close to your cervix. though I'm not sure how you'd explain it to your dh

Pink my DH has basically said he doesn't want to know about ovulation and doesn't want to force sex on any given day. He just wants to dtd as and when we're in the mood as he feels it will ruin it otherwise. I see his point but that means that in my fertile 5 days (according to ovia, which may be wrong) we've only dtd twice and I feel disappointed and frustrated.

Now into my 2ww (I think but not sure) but am not hopeful.

How many dpo are you Shelb

Aww Pink it's really hard to keep yourself sane isn't it? Hopefully you'll be able to use your womanly whiles on him tonight.

Well I managed to have another little wee and test using another stick and a FRER... Both faint positives!!!! I think I might be upduffed I'm somewhere between 11 and 13 dpo so about right for it to show up. OH has advised me that he probably won't believe it until something comes out lol

Lara I only dtd twice in my fertile period so I want hopeful either... Apparently it really does only take the once.

Probably psychosomatic but feeling kinda sick this morning

Congrats runner so pleased for you!!!!! How do you feel, all a bit crazy??

If I count ov day and today inclusive (not sure if you're meant to?) I'm between 10-11.

Congratulations runner what a Christmas present! Looking forward to more updates.

shelb fingers crossed are you going to try another test?

drink hugs, like the ladies have said its early days but I know the feeling I tested early too its hard to wait as we all know.

pink hugs also to you, it does only take the once so im sure every other day is plenty.

According to the app its my OV day today, I havent used any OPK yet was thinking may do next month if we dont get a positive this time. Got a particularly stressful couple of days work wise trying so hard to not take it home with me as know it can impact TTC.

Eek Runner that's amazing! Congratulations. My DH didn't believe it until I showed him the tesco digital "pregnant". I was so smug about it too "believe me now huh?!".

Starky that sounds horrendous, I hope you managed to clam down and everyone is okay.

You're not out yet Shelb.

I'm currently reading Pregnancy:the mumsnet guide. It's a good read.

Lara for exactly the same reasons you have stated my DH and I only dtd once in my fertile week. I'm now 5+6!!

Thanks Shelb, Purple

I'm quite chilled about it at the moment. I'm hoping that tomorrow will be darker so that I can do a digital. Once I've got it confirmed by the words "Pregnant" I might feel a little bit different but right now I just feel quietly happy and optimistic.
