Ttc#1 Thread the 4th. TMI club of January 2016. No symptom too disgusting to share!

[StarkyTheDirewolf]

We're on the 4th thread! Oh come all ye symptom spotters! And a fertile new year!

I'm so sorry guys! I don't want to make everyone all miserable! I'm just a hormonal bag of balls today! Literally, I am 46% weepy muppet! Oh hormones you sneaky bastards! You shall not defeat me! And my tummy hurts! And im thirsty! And i have a headache! And Anne Boleyn is totally about to get beheaded still watching the tudors so I feel a bit sad for her! Good lord! What is wrong with me?!

Right that's it! Moan over! Cheerful cheerful cheerful fart joke YouTube funny cat video and a big glass of juice! 😊😄😆

There's still a long way to go yet! And we are not out! We are either upduffed or enjoying trying!

I haven't seen sherlock yet! That's tomorrow!

runner you're right! Totally right! I'm being maudlin and despondent with no just reason! And there's no sense in being soft about it! Onwards and upwards!
kat still 11 days till af! It feels like it's been a slog because it's the first time I've been so involved in my cycle and noted every day, whereas usually I'd not pay any mind to it! I'm pretending it's not such a long one and living vicariously through other people's tests! I can't wait for yours! I've not dtd for a few days either, I'm just so completely full of food!
ni turner you're both right! We've had so much good luck on our lovely thread! And long may it continue!
leonie having a clear out is such a good way to start the new year! I started the other day! And my dms so pleased I bought some new clothes she even offered to give me some money to buy more in fairness, I usually look halfway between a homeless person and a scruffy gym atendee

💖 baby dust baby dust baby dust 😊

Oh my god Stark you have issues... Feeling sorry for Anne Boleyn is totally unacceptable behaviour

runner I figuratively have more issues than Vogue right now! I am giant bagpipes, my arse is musical ! I accidentally ate chilli so my face is swelled up and my tongue feels like I've been grooming a cat with it! My tummy is bloated and full of stabby pain! And im in a glass case of emotion!

Sorry for bfns and afs.

Wedding fever is here, off to get married but will try and check in next week!

In the meantime wish me luck with lots of honeymoon shagging!

Hi ladies... just did a FRER test... negative! Which is crazy because I spent 5 minutes gagging in the bathroom before I could focus on trying to pee in a cup. Feeling as sick as a pig again today! Eurgh!

Oh well... guess I had better wait for AF to turn up (whenever she decides she's ready) and then get busy 😉

And good luck canters15 with the wedding and the shagging 😂😂

I'm sorry Stark, hope you can cheer yourself up a little! Sucks to be over emotional doesn't it? I went over a friends house the other day who is due next week. I litre rally haven't been able to get the image of her huge belly out of my head. It's like a full blown addition!!

Ni, I'm 28. I've read EWCM should last about 5-7 days at my age I think? I've always thought 'oh, I must be super fertile then' but now I'm trying, I don't think it quite works that way lol. Plus, it's kinda gross!

Congratulations canter and good luck with lots of honeymoon shagging!!
Stark I completely understand with the being left behind thing, but there's a few newbies now (including me) and we're all in the same hormonal, bloated, gassy boat as you!
Ovia is telling me to test tomorrow but becuase I did an early one the other day and got bfn, I'm scared to do one now. I have no symptoms still of either AF or being preggo!
Sorry for the BFN handbags our bodies our amazing but so confusing! When are you due your AF?

Oh and I'm 25y/o and only noticed the EWCM for a few days don't think I had it for a week?!

IndiX I have no idea! I had the implant taken out in June, then had two 28 day cycles, then went onto the Zeletta POP mini pill on Sept 2nd. Had no bleeding at all on that. Been off implants 3 weeks today and still no sign of AF but as each day passes more random symptoms. Still feeling sick and can't stomach the smell of coffee!!

Stark I am cautiously optimistic about your chances this month. But am not going to get too excited as you keep defying me and refusing to test

Handbag sorry for the BFN. Coming off the pill can really screw up your cycle and the stress of thinking you may be pregnant might actually be delaying AF. Try to relax AF will appear and then you can get cracking

Indi test tomorrow. I tested for about a week up to the date Ovia told me to test. I think I hot the faintest hint of a line the day before but didn't get a definite line until the actual day. It's worth doing.

runner05 don't be sorry! I was coming off to settle my cycle to start TTC around April... then my OH (when never ever wanted kids) has decided it's exactly what he wants and we may as well just plod along and see what happens. So thankfully at the moment I'm not stressing or anything, just want to make sure I look after myself if I am! - I have 2 kids from a previous bad relationship and didn't get to look after myself as much as I'd have liked so want to be able to take vitamins and eat right now that I'm 'allowed' to! ☺

Really runner? I'm scared to test incase it's a BFN, I don't know whether it's best to just wait for my AF but it that's late it's a catch 22 situation my husband is away until tomorrow evening aswell and I always feel like I need him around when I do a test to stop me being an emotional, cranky mess if it's BFN. Oh I don't know what to do, I'm now doubting myself that we didn't DTD enough of maybe I wasn't ovulation on the days I thought I was. Massive mind fuck this conceiving malarkey

stark I was hoping to log on this morning to see some good news from you - you've got some serious willpower lady!

X

Starky, I think we were exceptionally lucky to get a few bfp's in a row on this thread, when in reality I think it takes most people more than one or two cycles. Remember our motto - you're not out till you're out, so until your AF shows up you are very much in the game!

Canters, I hope you have a fabulous wedding day and a honeymoon filled with lots of sex

Sorry about the bfn Handbags. Hopefully if its a bfn this month your AF will come soon and get things going again.

Indi for most people it's the fear of BFN not the actual BFN that is worse. Most people after testing either way feel a bit relieved.

And don't worry about timing etc. I found out I ovulated early and completely missed my window. Had one rather feeble dtd right at the end and still got upduffed! OH was actually not convinced by a fairly solid line because we couldn't figure out how we'd managed it lol

Morning ladies,

Thanks for the EWCM reports from the young ones! I'm 33 and only noticed one day of EWCM last month, noticed none this month...let's hope the pre-seed lube helps with ushering the tadpoles along if my own aging lube ain't up to it!! you'd swear I'm 43, not 33!

Enjoying doing temping the last few days since thermometer arrived...something new to learn about, Google and obsess over!

Happy long weekend all xxx

Thanks Runner you've made me feel a lot more positive about it all..I guess the worst case scenario is a BFN and then I'll be more prepared this month.
I'll go to asda and buy a couple of tests later for tomorrow morning. do you think any old test will do? Or should I get a FRER?

Indi red dye tests are the best and if you can get a FRER I would recommend it as they really are the most accurate and less likely to give a dodgy or ambiguous result.

I am in a MUCH better mood this morning! The hiiiiills are aliiiiiive with the sound of muuuuusic! Skipping about etc in reality, I've out the washing in and am having a cup of tea in bed to the tune of people clay pigeon shooting

runner shelb I've got an iron will when it comes to some things! And I know it will be two weeks of genuine obsessing till I actually come on! And given my mysterious okp debacle, I think it's better otherwise I'll be hysterical! I'll start testing next week, promise! For you guys! 😁 I'm glad you're feeling cautiously optimistic for me, that actually makes me feel better! I think I'm of the opinion that if I decide it's a bfn now, anything else is a bonus! pink you're right "you're not out till you're out!"

It's ok today, I've calmed down! I was getting a smidgen tightly wound yesterday! Today I'm going to trim my amazon wish list and order treats! What are we all up to this fine day?

indi jam thank you guys! it is a giant in fuck! I find myself having a meltdown once every few weeks, then I'm fine again! Definetly get FRER, look on the back, most tests tell you how many iu they are sensetive to. The lower the better!

GOOD LUCK CANTERS!! you will have an amazing day! Pop in if you grate chance but otherwise just enjoy every minute! 👰💐💒💖

handbags I know what you mean! You're ex has the hallmarks of mine, tell list of shit I wasn't "allowed" to do was as long as my arm! Good riddance I say! Onwards and upwards!

Oh starky I could bore you all day with it! He wouldn't let me eat and drink for 12 hrs periods when I was pregnant etc. Wasn't allowed to leave the house, really extreme stuff! Finally got out in Jan 2015 after he was arrested for 2 charges against me and methe the most amazing guy a few months later who has had a crazy ex wife kinda like mine! Funny how life works out! Never been happier! ☺☺

starky I've been here from the start! I also had the feeling of being left behind because I'm one of the few who actually stuck to the jan start date! 2016 is going to be our year - I know it!

I woke up today with really bad cramps - def AF on her wicked way. I'm actually pleased because my last one was really late. Glad I'm getting back into a regular cycle again - 33-34 days is long though!

canters happy wedding!

Also I thought Sherlock was crap! Don't want to spoil it for anyone who hasn't seen it but the identity of the killers enraged me!

Surprisingly, and sadly, that sounds exactly like my ex handbags! The control he had over me was immense, ever since I got out I've been determined to be happy! I escaped April 2012, met my now Dh April 2013 and have never been happier! Ex even tried and epicly failed to befriend Dh when we first got together! When Dh told me I laughed out loud! It was like Glinda waving a magic wand and saying to the witch of the north "you have no power here!" With a tinkling laugh!

harriet you're right! 2016 is going to be our year! We are so lucky to have had so many bfp'ers already! And that's good about your cycle becoming more predicable, and after af, you can get back to dtd and ttc! This long cycle feels like a slog and a half!

Hahaha love it starky. My ex is still on bail, classic woe is me sob story being fed to all he meets. Massive recluse but set up Facebook and befriended all my contacts as well as friends (I run a magazine). Luckily everyone sees through his bullcrap and let's him get on with it! I had to relocate over 300 miles to put decent distance between us as he's really unhinged. My current partner is so laid back its lovely, I can talk to him and he's so supportive - it's taking some getting used to! Glad you're all good now!! ☺☺☺
