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!

Congrats to all the bfps! This is a crazy lucky thread!
I had a huge dip on Saturday then spiked back up yesterday and is stil high today! I'm 6/7dpo. Went to the cinema yesterday afternoon and had a really weird super hot flush, felt quite dizzy and unwell for a few minutes. I'm definitely hotter than usual overnight, my dh thinks I'm ill. During the day I'm crampy on and off and keep feeling warm but I'm still fighting this cold and sore throat. Trying not to get my hopes up. Probably going to start to test on Wednesday. At the same time I'm due af on Monday so I might just wait. I'm not sure I want to ruin Christmas with a bfn.

well BFN today.... but that was expected (?9-11dpo)! I should have held out and saved the test!
Not going to do any more now unless AF stays away (friday) at the earliest!
If i can hold out 'til sunday then all the better.
I have 3 more tests to play with. I wish I had some symptoms to make me feel more confident!

Thanks guys. Think D-almost-H might panic if I start baby shopping in Japan but sounds like it's got to be done!

Hate to say it but I think there is a bit of a bug going around at the mo. I had a day of horrid cold last thurs, then felt nauseous and dizzy over the weekend and am still not right today. Why do all these stupid bugs mimic early pregnancy, isn't having pms enough?!

thr high temps sound good snow! Will you drink on Christmas Day if you don't test?

Pink congrats! That's a strong line! How many dpo are you?

Welcome to the 'hot flushes fretting about every twinge waking up wondering if you imagined it this is going to be a looooong 12 weeks' club!!

elle, I tested this morning, cycle day 25. Has confirmed that for me Ovia was a week out in terms of when I ovulated.

Lara, OH is at work but I've told him. Not sure it has sunk in yet. Was our first month of trying so I am very (happily) surprised. Definitely hasn't sunk in yet though! I need to get a doctors appointment sorted but will do that tomorrow.

Hi Canters, I'd love to go to Japan, are you there for work or fun?
My usual temp is 96.2-4 ish as I seem to run cold. Now it's 97.9-98.2. So pretty hot for me! I'm going to have a glass or two of wine on Christmas Day because even if I'm blessed with a bfp beforehand, it's such a small amount and it won't affect the baby at all. No point totally restricting myself until I know for sure!

Thanks blue. I think I ovulated on 9/10 December so somewhere between 10-11 dpo.

I think the next 12 weeks are going to seem like an eternity!

Fingers crossed for lots more bfp's in the new year.

first I had loads of symptoms, and still got a bfn, the only thing that matters is absence of af. Fx!!

drink I am waiting until it doesn't show now

Aaaaa!!!! Pink you is upduffed

Congratulations, come join us on the dark side that is the grads thread

Sorry about all the BFNs

Stark PM me your address and I'll pop all my unused opk's and ic preggo tests

pink nausea ebbed off for me but expecting it back with a vengeance soon.

Awwww thank you so much runner you are a I shall pm you!

My okp from this morning was virtually no existent, line-wise. So I'm still none the wiser over if when I ovulated! But I suppose I'll know more know for next month to start okp's a few days after af arrives so I can try and time it more accurately! Dh has gone now, but my dsis is coming to stay tonight so I won't be all on my own for too long! I'm not sure what's going on but I've been on a 15 interval wee schedule since yesterday evening!

drink first elle How is everyone? Has it sunk in yet pink and blue
canters I've been making baby clothes the past few months, and we've got a moses basket already haha, in fairness, it cost £1 so it was his idea to buy it, just hoping I'll have something to put in it soon!

snow definetly enjoy some wine over Christmas! It may be the last time you can drink for a while with any luck!

I'm not excited for Christmas yet, I will be when Dh gets back home and I can relax about him not being on the road! And then shopping on Wednesday kill me now we're probably going 4 camp at my dps Christmas eve, despite us living literally 5 minutes up the road!

Oh gosh I hope so Starky!

Weirdly I'm having a lot of drool lately... Admittedly my house is full of chocolate oranges etc in preparation for festivities later this week so I might just be a bit of a pig. And I've got a weird gas bubble feeling like I'm brewing a really big fart. My dh will leave me if I mortify myself with a giant one

I think I'm officially crazy. And this only my first cycle.

Could you post a link to the grad page Runner, I can't find it on my phone?

I'm still in a state of disbelief. Think once I go to the doctors it will be more real.

Feeling really bloated today which is not nice!

snow I've got a funny windy belly too possibly just anxiety and I'm thirsty like I can't tell you! I have been known to purposefully wait for Dh to be in earshot before I fart though! If it's a big one and I'm alone I always feel like it was a waste! I don't know how he puts up with me either

You're not crazy, you're excited that's how I'm phrasing it anyway! Haha I just dug all my okp's out of the bathroom bin to check them all against one another. I've got literally no idea if I've ovulated. Mydays and ovia are at odds, I can't tell whether I've got cm or if it's just residual (TMI !) Seminal fluid! Im feeling all maudlin, but thats probably because I'm tired and it's just gone dark all of a sudden!

In an attempt to be positive though, my dsis is coming over tonight, we have snacks and chocolate and my tree looks lovely, and I've lit two vanilla/gingerbread candles so my house smells nice! 🎄🎢🌹

Hey everyone :)
You guys have just made my day reading through all the posts! Firstly, a lot of BFPs here which gives me a lot of hope that it's not just an elusive holy grail I'm reaching out for.
Secondly, it's good to see you are all just as obsessed as me symptom spotting!

This is my first cycle TTC and I'm 10 or 11dpo but BFNs at the moment. I've a few symptoms but not convinced it's my turn this month. Trying to wait another 2 days before testing again. This thread might save my sanity though!

Funnily enough starky I had a book arrive today called trying to get pregnant and succeeding, by Marisa Peer. Anyhow she's a hypnotherapist who does a lot of work with ladies trying to get preggers, and she believes successful pregnancy is a lot to do with visualisation and seeing yourself as a mother. All a bit woo but one of the things she recommended is buying some baby bits before you get pregnant because it reinforces that view.....so on with the baby shopping! What stuff do you make? Do you knit?!

I think I'm just gonna embrace the crazy symptom spotting as part of the fun. Snow, I thought marriage meant you could fart when you like? I'm stuffed if it doesn't, I've been holding everything in for the last 2 years awaiting next weekend! Once that rings on he's stuck with me mwahahaha

Hey jam. Share your symptoms!

Hi Jam, welcome to the crazy house

Thanks Runner

Hey jam welcome! These girls and this thread have been a lifeline and a source of positivity and love, as well as an education! who knew a basal thermometer went in your mouth and not up your floo!

canters I try and do a bit of visualisation, I always used to tell myself when I was single that I would meet a man who adored me, got my sense of humour and enjoyed my company, that I deserved to be cherished. And as soon as I laid eyes on my now Dh I told my friend "I'm either going to marry that man or be single forever" and then the stars aligned! He asked me out a few weeks later and we've been together ever since! I've always known I wanted to be a Mammy, so I've got my fx it happens!

Weirdly, I enjoy a bit of woo. I firmly believe in ghosts/spirits and that things happen when they're supposed to! We will all get our bfp's! come he'll or high water

Thanks for the welcome :)
Well I had a positive OPK last Thursday so thankfully had DTD before a few times and then after. Every day since Friday/Saturday, I've had a really bad stomach (cramps, diarrhoea), yesterday I threw up a few times, I've had 2 spontaneous nosebleeds for no apparent reason and just generally feel shattered and shitty!
It may just be a bug going round but I'm hoping it's something more. My poor husband thinks I just used him for sperm and then forgotten about him as my sex drive has literally been non existent for the past week!

Oh and had really awful uti symptoms yesterday that had me literally running to the loo every half hour but that's cleared up totally today!
