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!

jam welcome and those symptoms sound good (not fun to deal with but in a possibly pregnant way!).

I'd just like to extend a thanks to everyone on here for cheering me up, starky your posts are brilliant! Feeling very meh today, bfn, no af, not really any symptoms of either and just found out on the dreaded fbk that my ex has got engaged.

But I need to pull myself together really! Got a lovely OH and we're happy, this is not my first month post-pill and if I don't get bfp I can't drink at Christmas woo! Lots more bfps in 2016 I reckon!

Doh! Meant this is only my first month post-pill!

I believe in all that woo stuff too! I bought wee knitted cardigan (colorful but neutral) and I keep imagining a baby in it!

I'm feeling sick to my stomach since eating. Is that nausea? Or is nausea more an in your head type sensation?

I can't believe a whole month of unprotected sex has resulted in a BFN! It's stupid, I was symptom spotting and convinced... I'm shocked that I feel disappointed. A little relieved but mainly disappointed.
Shit. How the fuck do we do this for months on end?!! This month has been so distracting!

I feel like my teens and 20's were based on a foundation of lies!!!

Still no AF however, wonder where that cow has got to?

Starky that's a lovely story! Well I am enjoying the book and am certainly going to put some of the techniques into practice. Onwards and upwards to our 2016 bfps

Dubs, it's ok to feel disappointed...because it is disappointing. Continuing with the woo theme up thread but I think it's far better to allow yourself to get rid of all that emotion and bad energy as AF arrives and move onto the next cycle fresh and positive. Of course come weds when AF rocks up I will probably have a little cry and a stiff gin....but it's ok to be a bit sad.

Jam, those symptoms are sounding positive! When will you start poas? Can you pee on an opk at the same time to contribute to the wealth of research on this thread?!

Als China, yes!! Absolute pile of rubbish! I remember as a teen being convinced that touching a penis and then myself would result in pregnancy....no sodding chance!

Sounds like nausea snow!

Stay positive Dub and China! Just keep DTD lots and try to stay calm (easier said than done I know) and positive

Oh, and have a good old drink on Christmas day as hopefully you'll both be off alcohol next month!

canters I crochet, currently making a star shaped blankie (and about 3 other cardis because I can't concentrate on one project for long enough at the minute!)

snow I've been making all pretty, girly stuff, I'm going to have to do a gender neutral name because if I had a boy he's totally wearing the sparkly shit I've made! I always think of nausea just as the waves of sickness that permeates from the stomach up. You poor thing! I've had a stinking headache on and off all week so I sympathise completely!

dubs that's the way to look at it! Positive and on the bright side! We can enjoy Christmas, then new year, new fresh start! We've got a lovely thread full of happy bfp's to kick start us off! I still can't believe we've been so lucky to have so many! And for all of us still waiting, our turn will come, and all the anticipation of that! And until then we've got all our new baby mama's leading the way with their beans in their bellies, and the excitement yet to come!

I go to work for a day and there are a hundred posts!!!

Congrats pink!!!
Welcome newbies!

I had a rubbish day at work today. I officially have man-flu (this cold is so bad it must be the type men get as I feel really rotten) have also felt really sick all day. A small part of me thought that it must mean I am pg ... And the AF I had over the weekend was... Er.... Just nothing to worry about. Some people still bleed and don't know they are pg apparently?! ... But chances of that are really 0% so have decided that I am just ill. On sofa and trying to get better in time for fertile week.

Well said starky! From what I've read - this is a really supportive group!

And back to preg tests- why is pink line better that blue line?? I've had blue line ones, never had a pink. Must run out immediately and get pink sticks to pee on.

Sounds lovely Starky! I'm all for dressing boys in pink and sparkles! We've decided on a girls name, but not a boys.

Sorry if my question about nausea was stupid lol. I don't know whether it's more a carsick type sensation or a stomach ache type thing that makes you feel warm and pukey? Whatever nausea is I just had an hour or so of it getting progressively worse and then settling a bit. Now my stomach just feels a bit achy like I could puke but won't. Fun times!

I've heard morning sickness is like car sickness snow

And stark I crochet too!! I have just made lovely snowflake cushions for Xmas presents, I am halfway through one blanket (started AGES ago, got bored) and started another one (made about 9 12in squares, had to stop to start making Xmas presents) and I have another one that is in use but still hasn't had all the ends woven in...

So I'm on CD4 along with Bub, who else is going to be getting their BFP at the end of Jan with us?? I'm a bit lost where everyone is be use of all the BFP excitement. (Is it strange to be this interested/excited about the menstrual cycles of strangers???)

Kat pink ones are more sensitive than blue and less prone to give you a evap line/false positive.

Ok so this evening a slightly browny pink CM. Start of AF? Or ?? Implantation bleed. I have no idea how long my LP is, but I had positive opk 9th/10th December. .... no cramps

See I've never had car sickness so I wouldn't know if they were similar, I just thought nausea was feeling off colour, like off your food, smells making our feel sick etc. Like tummy bug feeling. Morning sickness can hit yiu immediately and without warning I've heard!

No such thing as a stupid question snow and from what I've found, if one of us doesn't know, somebody else will, and we all Google like champs!

kat i think it's because of the dye, the way the blue ones run across can be misleading. I'll have a look see if I can find anything definitive.

Thanks turner* it is such a supportive thread, and everyone here is so kind! We are lucky!

Welcome Jam! You're at similar time in your cycle to me, Elle and First. And pink but she's just had her BFP! I haven't tested yet. Holding out. Had no real symptoms but today my lower tummy feels very bloated and achey. Probably nothing!

Stark I love that you're making baby stuff! I was thinking about making a blanket and mat (I sew rather than knit/crochet) but felt it was too early. But fuck it, if you are I can too!

That could be promising First! When is your AF due and are you fairly regular?

Runner I think you might be the resident pregnancy test expert for the team :)

kat I'm on cd16, ovia tells me to test in 12 days but I'm not even sure if I've ovulated! And af isn't due till the 12th of Jan, so it's going to be a long few weeks for me! Ikwym though, never thought other peoples periods would be so scintillating! where is everybody else up to?

It could be either first are you using ovia? I get very confused as to who is and who isn't, especially this week with so many graduating! When are you due on?

Lol, nothing to do with spending hours and hours looking up preggo tests on the internet

I've googled myself into a state of perpetual information overload 😜 I feel like I've been sat in a hot car reading after eating too much greasy kfc. That's the best way I can explain it lol. It's mostly passed now but it was pretty intense for a while there. Definitely not in my head (like everything else could be!) but it could be anything so I'm going to see what happens in the next few days. My cats and dog will not leave me alone, which is pretty strange too.

I really love the idea of making things for my future baby, a blanket is a lovely idea!

Thanks all of you for tolerating my crazy. It's wonderful, it really is, to have somewhere to ask stupid questions or talk about cervical mucus. My husband picks up his phone and starts playing some stupid game if I try to talk about bodily functions and or fluids. He's lovely and really supportive and really wants a baby with me, but the minutiae and grossness really aren't his forte.

The way I look at it lara ill keep making stuff, and then it's there ready if/when I get my bfp, if not, I can gift it away and other people will be able to enjoy it! Get sewing! My dsis is the sewer in our family, she's much better with a machine than me! Unless you want a crooked hemline with puckering, then I'm your girl!

runner is definetly the resident expert! And we are lucky to have her!

snow that's definitely nausea! Very promising! Fx!!
