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!

Dub I agree. You're better off testing. If you hold back you will just get more and more anxious about it. If you test then you know either way and can just test every day until AF to be sure.

I think you should test because we've had 3 BFPs in 2 days.... So we have a whole load of good luck going on at the minute!!!

Test dub test! Hold your pee in though, I still got a bfn with an ic last night.

I also agree testing, and then every day till/if af because then as bunch says, it will keep you in control of knowing iykwim! ....testing is exciting too!

Just making my mince pie cake, fx it goes well! The recipe is a new one so could well be disastrous! 🎂🍰

Right lovely ladies I am persuaded! Will test as soon as I am back tomorrow. You are totally right, if I know one way or the other then I'll feel better, and this is indeed a very lucky thread! Thanks everyone for your encouragement x

starky mince pie cake sounds so yummy!

Wow, it's been a busy day!

Let us know how you get on Dub!

Runner I don't think I am going to test on Christmas Day. If it was a bfn I'd be gutted and I want to be in the Christmas spirit. I'm thinking of holding off till AF is due to be honest, which again is meant to be between 25-29th according to apps.

Hope everyone else is doing ok!

Still can't believe! Eeeppp!

May have to venture out and buy some mince pies now stark!

Good luck dub!

Yay Shelb! It's so weird seeing those words isn't it!!

I don't really understand the whole 1-2 thing but hey ho.

Dub, if ovia says test then test, that's what I held out for.

I'm starting to worry about every little twinge, and every time I do something or put something in my mouth I'm questioning whether I should Is this normal??

Yeah I'm the same blue. Every time I bend over my tummy hurts, hoping its wind and nothing else, it's still so so early.

Blue yep, totally normal. But after a couple of days you'll get used to being perpetually uncomfortable and a hey and you'll start to worry during those rare moments when you aren't

Oh and in case anyone was wondering if opks getting darker after ovulation was a sign of being upduffed - id say it is...opk green, hcg blue, control end near colour.

X

Yep, in my case the opk knew I was pregnant before the pregnancy test.

Opk went blank after ovulation and started getting darker again after implantation.

Can I dip my toe in here too? I'm on the js'ing thread but have been stalking on here too and getting excited over all the bfps. Congrats to all! We were also supposed to be waiting to Jan, but, ummmmmm, didn't.

Anyhow I'm on cycle 1, about 10-11dpo. Getting a bit confused by all this opk as preg test chat...I got some in the post yesterday and did one then and one today. Both have a second line though it's fairly pale. Today's was slightly darker then yesterday. I did an ic test too which was bfn. Can anyone explain how an opk could detect pregnancy before a hpt? Surely that should be positive by now if it was doing to be? Am I broken? Help calm a crazy TTC lady, please!

Welcome. Canters! Tbh I am equally as bamboozled by the positive OPK as a sign of pg thing, but biology isn't my strong point!

Welcome canters!

I don't understand it either, but apparently it's indicative that if your opk starts getting darker when it shouldn't (ie way after ovulation) then it could lead to BFP. Don't ask me why or how! Happened to me though, and runner - could be a good sign canters!

Hi pink!

Welcome canters you're not broken, it can take a few days (sometimes weeks) to see a positive on a test because everybody's hormones develop at a different rate! Our mantra as you might now by now is "you're not out till you're out!" So unless you're on af, you're still in!

shelb that's lovely to see!
blue have you come down from cloud 9 yet? Are you still up there?

runner take it easy and be waited in hand and foot! You are all carrying precious cargo!

I have wind, but it's because I put leeks in the soup, not for any exciting reason! I'm watching home alone and thinking about plucking my goatee I'm not kidding 🐐

Thanks guys. This ttc business is so much more complicated then I thought it would be!

AF due weds so a few days to go yet. Might pee on another opk for fun tomorrow and look at getting a frer on mon- I am a bit suspicious of the ic tests!

Preggers people, did you have any inclination this was going to be your month before you tested? Am curious.....

I just had a very small amount of bright red blood when I wiped? It's way way too early for af (my cycles are around 25 days, today is day 16) and with my huge temp dip I don't know what to think? it can't possibly be implantation at 4/5dpo?!? I think my body has decided it's had enough. Ugh.

Hi Shelb! Has being pg sunk in yet?! How are you feeling?

Just biding my time to test now I'm definitely adopting the "you're not out till AF arrives" mantra!

Ps Starky, I think you should use the leek farts and goatee chat to entice OH into bed!!

Mince pie cake! Yummmm! canters you just reminded me to do an okp! Ttc is sooo complicated! I never realised how potentially stressful it could be! Time for a brew and some cake me thinks! And then some crochet!

Looks fab Starky!

I've been like a zombie all week so early night for me after Strictly finishes.

Welcome canters , I'm due Wednesday too.

It's my day to have a teary wobble. I don't feel pregnant. I feel like I'm getting myself excited for no reason.

Cake looks delicious starky
