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!

Blue I've been told (on here) that cramps aren't necessarily a bad thing so hang tight. If they are I'm deffo out!

Pinklily1 · 15/12/2015 19:29

Brilliant idea Starky.

I had a quick look at the pregnant test live things on YouTube, strangely addictive!

shelbTa · 15/12/2015 19:44

It's another BFN from me gang. Still only 8po I know....

BubbaNo1 · 15/12/2015 20:22

Keep going Shel it's not over yet... Fx for the next few days

Pinklily1 · 15/12/2015 21:18

Don't be disheartened Shelb, there's still time.

Another negative OPK for me this evening

Dubbya · 15/12/2015 21:33

Fx for a bfp soon Chelb, I'm still holding out, 4 days until I should test apparently! No symptoms to report really apart from being a bit bloaty!

ChinaSorrows · 15/12/2015 21:59

Moving swiftly over from BFNs... And phantom lines (sorry I can't see them... But I think there's some websites that you can upload pics to and change the colour saturation to make lines more obvious... I'm sorry I do I know what they're called though.

What prenatal vitamins are you taking?
I haven't put thought in beyond 100% rda and playing special attn to folic acid.
I found my current month's supply in poundland.
Am I being naive?

Runner05 · 15/12/2015 22:00

My god, I look away for one evening and now I don't know where to begin!

Sorry it's another BFN Shelb but it's early days.

Gonna test again in the morning I'll be between 10 and 12 dpo.

Hope the rest of you are doing well and not getting too stressed with this ttc lark!

Runner05 · 15/12/2015 22:01

China as long as you're taking 400mg folic acid you should be ok but I take seven seas preconception vitamins.

StarkyTheDirewolf · 15/12/2015 22:17

I've only got folic acid china I was taking fish oils but Dh got worried because it said for pregnant women not to ingest on the packet, he was briefly beside himself as he was in charge of vitamins that day! Only when I told him that given that I wasn't actually pregnant yet, cod liver capsules probably wouldn't hurt our unborn baby.

Pinklily1 · 15/12/2015 22:33

I'm just taking folic acid and vitamin d tablets.

drinkyourmilk · 15/12/2015 23:28

Just folic acid. It looks like pregnancy ones add vitD.

It's probably too early to tell yet shelb. FX for the morning. You too runner .

Those pregnancy tests live videos just annoyed me, I wanted them to stop wittering and do the damn test!. You've 3 minutes to tell us how excited you are

StarkyTheDirewolf · 16/12/2015 00:08

I'm with you on some of these videos drink I want to hear a small back story, while you wee/dip then just focus the camera on the test till it saturates, cut to a minute of excitement and that's done!

shelbTa · 16/12/2015 05:00

I am officially going insane ladies. I've been awake all night feeling sick and period type pains. Supposed to be going to a conference today but just don't think i can make it.

If this is just an effect of coming off the pill and hormones normalising (googling it says it can be) then bloody hell this is mean!!

BlueGirl1982 · 16/12/2015 06:19

Shelb I feel exactly the same...went to bed last night convinced AF was on way, now I'm not so sure again, feel a bit sick but I think I'm just tired!

Keep reminding myself though that last time I came off the pill I remember feeling similar and it was nothing...but as you say, the symptoms can be the same, so unfair!!!

Runner05 · 16/12/2015 07:07

I don't think I'm going to look at those pregnancy test videos. I'm already madly obsessive and I'm sure it wouldn't help! Lol

Aww Shelb you've been having a rough first month. I really hope it turns out to be for a reason.

Blue when are you testing?

Tested again today, another BFN and I don't feel pregnant anymore apart from slightly tender boobs. I think in the end my symptoms were cold related.
I also did an opk and got the same very faint line as yesterday so I'm not going to read anything into it even though I know my opk's reset to a clear blank between ovulation and now.

I will test again tomorrow when I will be between 11 & 13 dpo.

purplesmiler · 16/12/2015 07:23

Morning all I'm struggling to get up this morning but got a busy day work wise so must move. Getting towards my main OV days now, had fun last night DTD maybe that's why I'm feeling a bit tired today lol.

shelb & blue fingers crossed for good news you are going through the mill this month.

runner I think I need to avoid those videos too as think I could get a bit addicted.

shelbTa · 16/12/2015 07:28

Thanks ladies.

It's a BFN me for also runner, right there with you! Guna do my opk around lunch.

I felt some more sharp jabbings yesterday evening.

Pinklily1 · 16/12/2015 08:08

Sounds like everyone is going through the mill a bit this month. I suppose we just have to hold on to the happy thought that if there aren't any BFPs this month we get to continue DTD lots and lots!

Does anyone know if you add 'ovulation' dates to Ovia, can you then delete them again? Weird question I know but I want to see how it affects my data if I assume that ovulation was last week when I had my darkest line, even though I don't think it was quite as dark as the control line. Don't want to screw everything up though!

Also, if I am on CD 20 today, why does it say 15 days to pregnancy test, if I've entered my usual cycles as 28 days? Am I being dense?

Shelb are you feeling any better?

shelbTa · 16/12/2015 08:21

Hi pink yes just click on the day and click the ovulation button again, that should do it.

Yes sickness subsiding now thanks, will see if comes back this afternoon like yesterday. Just really bad period pains, total head fuck.

purplesmiler · 16/12/2015 08:32

shelb hugs at least you can enjoy the full Christmas festivities now. Hope you start to feel better.

shelbTa · 16/12/2015 08:47

Aw thanks purple and glad you err, had a fun time last night! Long may it continue over the next week eh!

StarkyTheDirewolf · 16/12/2015 09:19

Omg sooooo tired today! Was sorting and generally procrastinating last night till half 1 more fool me but then got up at half 5 to make Dh some brekkie and sort his clothes out so he didn't have to think about anything other than being out the door and driving. As a result, I've been up since and am knackered! Good job I can have a snooze this afty.

We have Christmas, so even if no bfp's this next couple of weeks then we can at least raise a glass and congratulate ourselves on starting ttc and having wishes and dreams for the new year with new baby beans!

Well said stark [santa]. Oh and your OH sounds like a lucky bloke!

I can't stop burping.

Pinklily1 · 16/12/2015 12:16

Really good point Starky in amongst all of our TTC stresses.
