Making the most of OH being home for 2 weeks before it becomes a Friday-Sunday stint again which isn't convenient at all haha.
OPK's arrived so gonna start with them tomorrow.
Good luck for the upcoming weeks all X

Ladies, ultra vivid dreams can be a symptom...

Kat docs was rubbish. She was just like, why are you hear? You're the midwifed problem not mine... I now have my booking in appointment on 18/01 though

Bubbles ibuprofen was news to me too.

Stark you is a mental bird

Canters in my position as pissy stick captain (never thought I'd say that) I demand you poas first thing tomorrow morning!!!

[drinkyourmilk]

Drink 38, TTC#1, cycle gazillion but in the spirit of this thread I'm gonna say 2.
Af has rushed into town and blown me over!! CD1 (I think. Do I start my cycle with rip roaring double over cramps, or is it when I start getting brown discharge? I can never figure it out)

[BunchOfBobs]

Hi ladies,
First baby, grad with a 6+5 blueberry. Early scan booked for 30th and currently suffering from mega cramps.

Drink cd1 is from first day of full on bleeding.

[Snowdog37]

Lmao Starky at Jason Donovan and fanny juice... There's no dignity left in ttc is there?!

I'm up and down like a flaming yoyo with all the symptom spotting. I don't know how/if my dh will tolerate my looniness if I'm not lucky this cycle and have to go through all this again! My hats off to all of you who've done this more than once and can still write in coherent sentences.

[StarkyTheDirewolf]

I think the important thing to remember is that I refrained from examining my cervix in new look fitting rooms knowing my luck someone would have barged past the curtain with 20 frocks, the curtain would have opened displaying me in all my non-shaven glory, squatting unceremoniously over a compact mirror and I'd have been thrown out and banned for life and I quite like their maternity line

[IndiX]

Hi ladies, I'm new to this can I join in?

I don't know all the lingo/acronyms yet but according to my ovia app and CF I ovulated on Sunday..been DTD most days unless my hubby is away with work for a night. I'm due to take a test in 11 days, was on the mirena coil for a few years up until 18/11 and came on my period 6/12..really want to get a bfp in January!!
I don't know about symptoms yet as I've only just ovulated but I guess I'm quite windy and dreams are very vivid and waking a lot in the night (probably just a lot on my mind).
Nice to meet you all xx

[StarkyTheDirewolf]

Welcome indi you're on pretty much exactly the same cycle as me! Af 6-12, possibly ovulated on Sunday although I'm not sure Woohoo! Same symptoms too!

Cycle 1
Cd 20 going by first day of withdrawal bleed (just stopped the pill, took last one on 29th Nov)
DTD every day since 6th Dec (just in case)
+OPK 17th Dec
On the dreaded "tww' now
Planning to do a HPT on Xmas day which is madness I know!

Good luck everyone!

[IndiX]

Aahh Starky really? Do symptoms happen that quickly? My AF was 6-11 but not actually sure on my cycle length arm as its my first cycle TTC. I've got all my fingers and toes crossed for us..I don't want to go crazy and obsessed but would LOVE a bfp in January! What date are you going to test?

I'm trying to keep my mind off bfps with the though of baileys and g&t's over Xmas xx

[StarkyTheDirewolf]

Well I've got a really long cycle (37 days approx) so I'm still not sure if I actually ovulated, but I had my darkest okp on Sunday with a steady recession back to pale again this week. I honestly don't know if they're symptoms wishful symptoming and I'm a fairly windy person anyway! (I decided it's because I'm short, there's nowhere for the gas to go except escape! ) I'm not confident about a January bfp, although that would be amazing beyond belief! But you never know, and as is our mantra "you're not out till you're out!" which is only when af shows up

[IndiX]

Yeah I don't really know my cycle length, I havnt taken any ovulation tests. I'm trying to be relaxed about it and just have sex when I want and eat and drink what I like ( I do find myself checking my ovia a few times a day though) .
Who knew TTC would mess with your head this much?! You go through your teens thinking even touching a willy will get your pregnant instantly and now I'm counting down the days until I can test and checking my CF daily!
Roll on the festive drinks I say [santa]

Cycle #5

Been TTC since beginning of September after coming off the Evra patch. Started using OPKs on Sunday and had positive yesterday so been DTD lots over last few days so FX.

I'm so glad I found this forum, glad I'm not the only crazy one!

[Canters15]

May poas tomorrow. Maybe. Surely AF on way though? Surely?

I almost examined my cervix at work today. I'm sure that's only mildly less appropriate then examining in new look!

[IndiX]

Can I ask the awkward question...how do you examine your cervix? And what would the results show?
Showing how much of a newbie I amX

[StarkyTheDirewolf]

I've got literally no idea indi something to do with inserting a finger and feeling if it's spongy and low! I've got long nails so I've not actually done any more than shining a torch up thereno bats flew out and attempting to angle a mirror correctly I failed and doing an impression of a tortoise stuck rolling on its back with legs akimbo Dh pissed himself laughing I can't face potentially impaling myself with my pointing finger!

[IndiX]

Hahahah Starky! I've just had my nails done yesterday (long, red and pointy) so think I'll give the cervical examinations a miss this month X

According to Ovia just ending fertile period, think I can POAS somewhere around NYE...

[StarkyTheDirewolf]

I am so bloated I can barely move, I feel disgusting! Somebody remind me never to eat pizza ever again! I only had two pieces but bugger me I look like I've swallowed a melon! Dh fancies a cuddle or things to that effect but is bloated too! According to him he's having "a sympathy bloat" I don't know what he's sympathetic about but we could power a gas station between us at the moment! Who says romance is dead?!

Happy Christmas Eve guys!

[firstgo1984]

Happy Christmas Eve! I'm at work. Good to keep me distracted for another few hours. No sign of AF still. I keep expecting to see it.

[Snowdog37]

We had pizza too I get an interesting combo of toppings from our local place. You'd think I'd been pregnant the last 3 years if you knew what they are lol....

[Snowdog37]

Long may af stay away firstgo!

And all this talk of long nails and cervix examination is eye watering. I leave my nether regions alone as much as possible.

[StarkyTheDirewolf]

Ooh what did you have snow I'm intrigued now! Yeah, I'm not poking myself in the cervix with Peter pointer either!

Got my fx for you first what a lovely Christmas present that would be!

I'm having af type cramps really low in my tummy, almost at my pelvic line, but it's too early for af, like two weeks early! I won't be impressed if I get two periods this month!
