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!

Ooh are you looking forward to having it out harriet ? Apologies I don't know much about the coil, do you still have periods on it? Exciting though! My test date is the beginning of Jan, 3rd or 4th I think. I'm in my fertile window now, will be pinning Dh down tomorrow and Sunday for sure! I have a feeling I'm going to end up missing my window though as Dh has been out so much this week and will be out most of the weekend too 😭

I'm sat covered in small dog watching Jonathan Creek on netflix!

Kat - how many cycles post pill are you?

Runner - very jealous that you are seeing Star Wars so soon! I can't wait!

Starky - what breed dog do you have?

Harriet, I don't know much about the coil either. Are periods meant to return as soon as you come off it?

I'll be testing anytime from Monday but not really sure exactly when as am a bit confused about when I ovulated. I'm going to try to wait to see if AF arrives and if not, then I will test (she says now, pretending she has any willpower at all!)

I would like to join in

Age 25
TTC #1
Cycle #6
ETD 9/10th January

Been trying since end of August when came off the Evra patch. Just been using the Ovia app but bought some clearblue ovulation tests to use this cycle

runner your "friends" sound awful. I'm sorry you had to go through that though

Welcome Little Belle! How old is your OH?

Welcome belle

I've got chihuahuas pink and little sods they are, but we love them to bits! They're so amusing! Have u got any FRER lying about just in case? Wouldn't that be a lovely Christmas pressie! Are you still dtd this week in case of ovulation?

Enjoy the film runner and may the force be with you!

Kat I am about the same stage as you, Ovia saying CD26 for me today. Feeling bloated and a bit crampy like af is on its way.

Big congratulations runner!

Hope you don't miss your window starky!

Awe I love chihuahuas! So cute!

I'm cycle 4. I know it's early days.

Welcome belle!

Starky, how do you think the dogs will get on with a baby? We are considering getting one but will wait under we have a baby here now.

I've not got any FRER. Actually meant to pick one up but totally forgot. I've got a sainsbury's one and also a Clear Blue in the house, but don't suppose they are as good at picking up early.

Welcome to the mad house belle

I've just been Christmas shopping for an hour with my mum after work helped me to feel better after work. I've still a few things to get though think it may be done online now.

Been buying presents for my nephew and I'm like aww it makes me even more broody. OH is back late tonight but hopefully we can have some bedroom fun given its supposed to be my ovulation day.

Looking forward to first dates at 10 love that programme and its a special one tonight with a proposal.

PS StakY - yes we are still DTD , just in case!

pink fx they'll be fine, I'm supposing they will treat a baby like a new puppy pal tbh! I'll start buggy training before a baby arrives and we're working on obedience now they used to get away with murder! Dh is soft with them! I'm not sure about clear blue, in fairness, everyone seems to have different results!

Thanks dub I'm 7.5 ovia score tomorrow so I'll try and get in there!
They are cute kat and such awesome little personalities!
Fx for dtd purple

I suppose they are relatively small dogs too which is good! We would love one but just biding our time!

When Ovia says 'x' days to pregnancy test, is that 'x' days until AF is due? Am still confused by this!

I think pregnancy test day on ovia is the day you should have come on af pink possibly the day after, I can't work it out, but I thiiiink first day of missed period, which would be the day after? Maybe?

Tiny but mighty, they are 🐕

Thats what I would think too Starky, but it does confuse me!

It confuses me too pink you're not on you're own!

Congratulations Runner! Great news ☺️. Sorry to hear about your friends but sounds like they aren't worth having. You've got us to pay you lots of attention during this exciting time

Welcome belle.

Gave in and just ordered a basal themometer and some of sticks 🙈

Wee question, does the themometer go in your mouth?
X

Welcome Belle.
kat I have amazon prime, and always get stick tests as opposed to the strip tests. I pay around £4 for 10. I know there are cheaper ones, but I like them.
I just keep my DH permanently knackered all month long. Then he can't tell the difference.

starky and pink I've got the non-hormonal/copper coil so fertility returns to normal as soon as it is removed (yay!). I've had periods as normal (apart from random late one last month) since getting it in.

I was on about 6 different pills over 10 years and had every side effect under the sun so love being hormone free (at least, fake hormone free...!). I would highly recommend the coil once you've all had your little ones - no hormones, you can leave it in for 5-10 yrs (depending which one you get) and its effects are immediately reversible. Hurt a lot getting it in though but apparently it's nowhere near as bad getting it out (fingers crossed..).

I'm so looking forward to joining all you symptom spotters!

That is exactly what I asked lana I'm sooo glad I'm not the only one who thought it went up the muff! It does indeed go in your mouth! (I did some fairly extensive googling!)

harriet ill probably just make Dh bag up again, I'm a nightmare on contraception, and I think last time I enquired about 4 years ago the doctor was against putting me on the coil, does it tend to me periods heavier? I can't honestly remember, but that might have been why he didn't recommend I to me.

drink I think I'm going to get the wider strips or maybe tests next time I order okp's, I'm not sure I'm getting on with the ones I've got, they seem a bit flighty! Will know more this weekend if they get darker. The control line seems to be very pale.

Wow so many new posts, I've just about caught up with them.

Great to see some happy news as well Runner

After stopping my pill on the 28th November, I've been dip sticking OPKs most days just to check. I've had a faint line on almost all of them but this morning I had a slightly darker line and tonight I tested again as I'd had weird pains all day and bloating.

To my surprise I got this result...needless to say when OH came home we did the deed and shall continue to try every day like we've been doing...just in case.

Very happy to know my ovulation has returned so quickly after stopping.

TTC No.1 and feeling very positive.....now when the hell can I do a HPT????

Well it's only logical to think that isn't it starky

Coil is painful going in... No pain taking out. I was told to cough and that was it. AF was horrendous!!

Thanks for all the congrats ladies

Harriet good luck getting your cool removed.

Kat when you're in implantation stage your immune system is really low so a cold can definitely by a symptom and sore boobs was my number one symptom try testing again when Ovia tells you too

Pink StarWars was great if I had any complaint it would be that they tried to do too much in one film.

x days to pregnancy test on Ovia is counting down to 12dpo.

Little welcome
I would recommend Superdrug opk's. They're cheaper than clear blue but we're great for me.

Lan ideally thermometer goes up your foof you can put it in your mouth but if you breath through your mouth in the night it will effect the reading. That's why I didn't get on with temping.

Did a couple more tests this morning... I think I'm definitely upduffed!!! Lol
In a side note internet cheapie sticks hadn't got any darker. Just a very faint line.

Wouldn't let me load two pics on one post
