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!

Snow I'm 9.0 tomorrow, 10.0 on Wednesday and 9.5 on Thursday according to Ovia. We've had an 'active' weekend so I'm thinking we will DTD tomorrow night and Wednesday night, then see how OH is feeling as to whether we do Thursday night too. If I had my way we'd DTD every night just to make sure, but I think he would have a heart attack!

Does you OH work away Elle? Fingers crossed those swimmers get in place and stay there!

Eeee Shelb there's definitely a line there. Ok, so how old was the test? And did you crack it open before or after seeing the line?
Obviously test again tomorrow and post as soon as you have as well all be sitting on the internet waiting to hear if there's a line!

Pink yep, the line is under the stone.

I'm still not sure it isn't just an indent. Fully expecting to see nothing on tomorrow's test. Tomorrow will be somewhere between 9 and 11 dpo and I have no intention of letting myself care about BFN until I'm clear of 14dpo at which point if I haven't got a line in probably not going to.

Still feeling really bloated,

Runner - is the test you are going to use tomorrow the same brand as today's?

Runner I cracked it open before the line Do you think it might be an evap?

Aww stark that sucks X

We both have to work away sometimes Pink but it's me away this week. Are people buying OPKs on amazon? Clear blue one looks hideously expensive! Thanks katherine for sharing.

Bummer stark, hoping Friday is your day!

I got mine from Sainsbury's, but that was more on a whim than anything else. £7 for 7 tests, so you can definitely get cheaper ones.

Aww Stark sorry I didn't see your post. That does suck!

Shelb I'd still test tomorrow as you never know but if it only appeared after cracking the test open I think it's likely to be evap.

Pink yes, I'll be using the same brand test again. But I've never noticed this mark before except on the one this morning and the one this evening. All the others have been completely blank with no ambiguity... That being said, I still think it's most likely an indent line.

I got my opk's for next month from Amazon. Something like £5 for 30. The ones I used this month were Superdrug 5 for £10 but they were really good

Hos words were "if I'm asleep and you ovulate, just get on, I won't mind!"

Yes do amazon okp's elle the clear blue are horribly expensive. I think most of us went for the bulk buy option! I know I did!

runner I'm already waiting for you to test tomorrow! shelb I totally think you should do another..

pink dtd every other night is a fair compromise

Starky, my OH said something similar! He also threatened to buy me a turkey baster for Christmas to use it he's too tired to DTD!

Runner, I was just wondering if it was likely to have the same indent. Update tomorrow!

Thanks, looking on amazon now!

I bought 50 Wondfo ovulation sticks. They are great, cheap and seem to be showing an increase in LH as I also have other impending ovulation signs. I got 20 pregnancy tests too. Plenty to drive myself nuts with in about 10 days 😜

Ladies - did an IC, BFN, so assuming it was an evap line - we can all calm down now!

Will do it again tomorrow morning but going to put it down as a no.

Thanks for your support.

Shelb.

Evening all! Just checking in to see what's been happening!! Hello to all the newbies (I've missed quite a few, so big wave to you all).

Aw Shelb I thought I could see something

Runner - so is there an update on your line?! Do you think it's evap?

Got appt with doc for this wednesday, so feeling relieved the professionals are getting involved now! (if you know what I mean). Over on the antenatal boards everyone is talking about getting early (private) scans for peace of mind...never occurred to me ladies. Whole new world! (One which I'm rapidly discovering I know nothing about)

I'm still testing on and off. I know that folks say don't add to your worry, if you're upduffed, you're upduffed - but I'm finding it's putting my mind at rest. Ran out, so I've ordered more!! I'm 5 weeks tomorrow.

I'm back in the uk! And boy is it soggy!

Mor I'm now 5+3 ans the break away from being able to Poas has definatley curbed my need to do it. I've been considering an early scan but as I'm now due to head off to work on Wednesday in likely to be away until 9 weeks nearly so reckon I can hold out the extra 3. Are you tempted?

Hello to all the newbies. And for those in the tww feeling like extra cm is a sign of womb lining shedding etc, trust me there's loads more of it when upduffed!! The bloating sounds positive because I look about 4 months pregnant with mine!!

Runner I can def see and indent. Eyes will be peeled here tomorrow. Shelb you may just be too diluted or not strong enough levels to tell at this time today. Test again in the morning.

runner def test again tomorrow. I could see something.

shelb AF type pains have been my main symptom! They were the reason I didn't test for days before my BFP because I was sure I was about to come on. It was freaking me out but I've read it's quite normal. Still having them today.

Ps I'm still lurking here. Don't feel pregnant enough to graduate yet!

Welcome back bunch

new don't leave us! We need the knowledge of the newly preggers to guide us!

I did an okp couldn't wait and it's faint, but nothing serious yet, decided to go from early rather than wait on the off chance that my cycle is out of sync with ovia iykwim. So ill do another on Wednesday or Thursday to see if there's any change. (I'm mentally singing "getting to know you" from 'the king and i' sad but true!)

shelb have another crack at it tomorrow and then every 6 hours hence same goes for runner

Yey bunch and newmrs! Don't leave us! Glad you are both doing well. Interesting about AF pains, I'm lying in bed and they are really quite strong, above my pubic bone, feels what I imagine a bladder infection would feel like.

Ohhh stark all getting a bit exciting. Hope you get chance to collar OH.

Aww Shelb just keep testing. It's early days yet.

Mor exciting times. You'll have to let us know what happens at your apt.

Bunch thanks for the warning about the CM and bloat. Pregnancy sounds delightful

Pink I haven't ruled out indent line or multiple tests having an indent line. I guess I'll know if the line gets darker.

You graduated will have to set up a graduate thread so that we can head to a pink fluffy safe haven when we get our BFPs

So, decided to poas (pee on another stick ) and yes, the line is still there... Not sure what to make of it but shall keep peeing and see what happens.

Evening Everyone!

It's so hard to keep up with all these posts but I hope everyone is doing well.
runner, shelb hoping to see some good news in the morning ☺️.

Totally confused about cycle dates as I am usually every 23-25 days. Last AF was 21/11/15. Started ttc 04/12/12 when I think I was ovulating by checking CM.
Spotted for 2 days, brownish Friday and Saturday there. Nothing since. Had really tender boobs which I don't usually get and the symptoms are also going away... Think I may have been having a phantom pregnancy iykwim but no AF yet.
Hopefully now that I have started Ovia things will make sense
I'll do a preg test when they arrive if AF doesn't first. X

Oh and it doesn't help that my partner works away and is only home Friday evenings - Sunday evenings which will make me worry if I don't get a BFP this week as I can get a bit obsessed with planning!! X
