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!

I like that logic Stark! I'm going to sew away for my imaginary (hopefully future) baby!

I just had a little squee moment of excitement then realized my boobs don't hurt, not sure what my cm is like, I'm not bone tired and I might just have food poisoning lol. But it's so exciting to give myself a moment to think I might actually be with child! Now I have to go back to reality and carry on like normal as its Christmas this week and I'm about as prepared for it as a chocolate teapot has use.

Snow, sorry if i've missed it but when are you poas?

I've only made baby things to gift away as yet... And bigger things for me. I will just quickly use up my entire stash before getting upduffed so then I can buy lovely new wool to make lovely things for my offspring.

And yes... Runner is definitely resident expert.

But snow, everyone's symptoms are different and plenty of people get nothing. My sister said she had zero symptoms until about week 6. So good to be excited! My cramping today has made me excited too. But trying to keep realistic so I'm not too disappointed at a BFN.

I'm 7dpo today according to when I felt ovulation last Monday. Probably going to test after Christmas as I don't want to ruin it for myself if this is all nothing. I'd rather have the tingly excitement of what if, than a resounding nope. I'm due af on the 28th or 29th, I have a short cycle 25 days or so.

I reserve the right to change my mind 83 times about not testing though. I have 20 internet cheapies sat in my bathroom. I just really know it'll make me so sad at a happy time if I'm not. So in a way I'd rather carry on deluding myself

On the other hand Snow if you're not you can get pissed at Christmas! have I mentioned I miss cider?

Go on, test

I love love love cider. And frangelico liquor in eggnog. And Pinot Grigio. So I'll have plenty of liquid comfort should af arrive early or if I test and the computer says no.

Hi Girls,
How are you all? Congratulations to all the new BFPs!!
Catching up on all the thread and forgetting what I have read already! It's amazing what you miss when you're off this for a day or 2!
Welcome to the newbies too! Are you enjoying the CM, farting and POAS chat? It's lovely isn't it but at least we know we are "normal" haha!
How are all the new baby mamas? Is anyone going to do a Christmas present surprise with their positive pee sticks?
starky, loving your posts as always, if your chat is that good irl no wonder you DH doesn't mind that you don't wash X

lara and starky I came off the pill in msy and cycles all over the place!! I'm on cd74 today!! I started opks this last cycle and finally goy positives on 9th/10th with ewcm and high, soft cervix..... 8/9/10/12th...

Cd74....???? Have you poas just to check??? Or did I miss that??

First how long were you on the pill for? I had been on and off for up to 10 years but always reverted back to a 23-28 day cycle. That's an awful long time, I think you should do a pregnancy test if you haven't already x

First, what have your other cycles been like length wise before this one after coming off the pill?

I'm sat trying to watch to but just keep having moments of thinking "oh fuck oh fuck oh fuck I am up the duff" (in a good way!)

*to watch tv

Looks like lots of us ovulated on the 9th.

I've been feeling really down today, but you've all cheered me right up!

starky and kat I crochet too , not thought about making baby stuff. My dh won't let me buy anything for a baby unless I'm knocked up. sob

Oh my God ladies I skip a few days of checking the forum and there is SO much chat....and BFP!!! Congrats Blue and pink

Stark you're not alone!! I'm on a long cycle too so AF due around three days before you I think. Currently CD13. Apps suggest I should ovulate 27th or 28th. I hope it doesn't happen sooner this cycle cos I just said goodbye to the OH (and dtd just in case the swimmers survive long enough!) and won't see him again til the 27th! So I guess I shouldn't feel too hopeful this cycle. But going home for Xmas might distract and relax me a bit so fingers crossed!... I have snuck a few Opks in my suitcase just to keep a sneaky eye on things.

Welcome to the newbies, and thanks to the grads for sharing your early symptoms!

Oh and ladies I read that over 30 women have far fewer days of EWCM so you may just be missing it. Anyone tried preseed lube yet? I wonder if I should try giving the swimmers some extra support?!

snow don't give up yet!! You aren't out till you're out on this thread

Ni in not over 30 and haven't noticed much EW. I haven't tried pressed but I have something called "fertility gel" by fertility check that I got from boots, haven't tried it yet. But it along with my OPK strips that are arriving and day means this is my month !!

Haha I hear ya Kat! That's a lovely positive attitude! My OH has been pretty good hearing about CM and performing on demand...I wonder if introducing fertility lube would push him over the edge! We'll see. He's hoping to get his swimmers checked out in Jan so it'll be good to get the all clear from his side...I was just so surprised that we dtd every second day last month and nothing! I know there's only a 25% chance every month but I want it now!!! Haha and that's why I passed the neurotic test to join this forum!!

Ni, I've got pre seed arriving tomorrow ready for my next cycle....I will report back! Do not think OH is going to be thrilled about using it but reading lots on cm today (rock and roll) and does seem like having the good stuff for the swimmers is a key part!

Also- I hear you! Shagged like a Duracell bunny last month and nothing. Am going.to be doing positive visualisation, pre seed and every other day shagging this next cycle. I will get my honeymoon baby!

I was not necessarily going to tell DH about it... I'm sure I can squirt it in and then lure him to the boudoir...

I have done a preg test yes. Just a crazy long cycle after pill!

Other cycles 39, 33, 49 so far. Was about to for and ask for Provera from gp to end cycle then got a positive opk and ewcm for 2 days so we will see

I used preseed and it was great totally helped things along iyswim. Especially by bedding number 4 lol. Dh likes it too. If it helps us get pregnant then it's even better!
