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 have a clearblue sat in my cupboard and it says it's more accurate if used day before expected period. Ovia says that I should test tomorrow but wasn't sure what one to use. Thanks missd that's handy to know

Welcome newbies and sorry about the bfn! It may still be too early though! And as shelb says, do an okp!

How are we all today?

Stark how you feeling??

Hi starky, good to meet you

I need to study up on all the abbreviations... Is there anywhere I can find them?

Ps in feeling spectacularly unpregnant

Well, af has caught me, the wiley bitch

I'm assuming it's af as I've just had a bit of blood when I wiped and I'm sure it's too late for IB cd27 13dpo.

At least no pregnancy tests wasted I suppose! Good luck for everyone waiting to test, I hope we get some good news

First response early result was the only test I've used that gave me negative results... yet 3 superdrug and one tesco have given me a positive... OH is in favour or trying another superdrug test. He's convinced I am... he's setting himself up for a big disappointment if yesterday's test was correct :-/

Oh bugger, so sorry about that... :(

I havnt done any OPKs at all possibly where I've gone wrong I'm going to wait until Wednesday I think, can't say I'm in the best mood this morning but no signs at all of AF except my bitchy mood

I'm alright thanks shelb feeling a but sickly today, just kinda peaky, off colour, nothing life threatening! Sorta burpy, sick, can imagine the smell of sprouts cooking would make me go green!...that kinda bleh! How are you missus mama?

I have made the monumental sort of decision ...dun dun duuuuuun. ..to cut a side fringe in! I'm going to do it later! Then Dh will give the rest of my hair a trim and cut me some layers in! my hair is pretty much waist length (He used to be a barber, but did courses in women's cuts!) I'm so lucky! In another bid to be a grown up. ...I want to wear lipstick! But thats for neXT week maybe! One step at a time!

Sorry miley BUT, its time to call re-start and go again!
choc awww bless your Dh! I haven't told mine if/when I'm testing, he'd end up a nervous wreck and then I'D have to be the sensible one, and I'm not down with that!
Hiya missd most abbreviations are on the mumsnet guide page, but if you just type in 'ttc' and then the abbreviation you want to understand into Google then it will come up with an explanation

Starky you are SO lucky to have your own personal hair dresser! When I first read it I thought you must be mad letting your DH near you with scissors but I am totally jealous you have your own hair stylist free of charge! When are you going to test Starky?

I'm off out soon, my DH says I need to get out the house in other words stop staring at the negative pissy stick going to grab some super drug tests when I'm out. Where do you girls buy your OPKs from? They are quite expensive in the shops.

P.S. Make sure you cut out the £1 off token in your FRER tests! It's in the instruction leaflet which I always throw away but make sure you get it, £1 isn't much but every little helps!

Bodycare have okp's in packs of 5 for £1 indi they're pretty similar to the amazo ones. They also had the 'answer' teapots which are I've read very similar to the first response frers, and are £2.99 for 1 or £4.99 for 2. Much cheaper and I believe the same sensitivity (10iu)snipers rug have the 10iu tests too, called something like 'super sensitive early testing' 2 for £7.49.

Thiiiink I'm going to test on the 10th. Af due the 12th, so unless I'm already on or I've got major af symptoms, that is the day! I know! I really am lucky with him! He likes brushing my hair and drying it too! Although it takes him an age because it's so long and he's so careful!

Oohhhh burping, I was waiting for that! Fucked today stark, currently lying in bed too dizzy to get in the shower. Got the shits too. Side fringe sounds good.

I keep having dizzy spells, the toilet is my new best friend, random nausea (mostly caused by food smells), super sensitive nips! On/off mild back and stomach cramps, and metallic taste in my mouth... and that's not even everything! Arghhhhh

Choc are you sure youre not upduffed?! Those symptoms sound VERY preggo positive!
Good luck for the 10th Starky I think you've got a good chance!
I'm now feeling like my AF is due as I'm in a seriously bitchy bastard mood bfn and shitty sleep probably didn't help anyway hope you all have a lovely Sunday!

That's it indi I've had a positive test read within the result time (I've attached a photo) after 3 other positives... that were read after the result time (naughty I know). Then I did two FRER tests, one yesterday and one the day before... BFN... not even a hint of a line. However I feel more pregnant as each day passes! Also randomly protective of my stomach area but that's probably just because it's on my mind...

Midwife refused to cancel my booking appointment and has said unless I bleed class myself as pregnant. Confusing as hell! Exactly the same symptoms as I had with my son though... eurgh!!

Awww I'm sorry you're feeling rotten shelb that suck balls! Have a restful day and look after yourself! I'm feeling like that a bit too! Keep warm and lots of fluids, whatever you can manage

Maybe it's a winter virus or something but I was lying in bed last night and the world lurched and I was so dizzy! Had a few dizzy spells this week combined with a couple of warm moments where I felt like a volcano! And today now the burpy, slightly nauseous, uncomfortable tummy feeling I'm going to have the shuts, aren't I?!

Thanks indi might not need a test yet, I keep thinking af is arriving!
choc mate you deffo sound pregnant!

Eat more chocolate indi... cures all problems, kinda, it doesn't, but whatever lol! I'm sat at home on the laptop working my ass off for deadline tomorrow... bollocks lol

Everyone sounds as though they're having a shitty time today choc shelb indi I'm going to eat chocolate and be pms-sy aaaaall day because I'm allowed.

starky side fringe sounds good. Lipstick is a waste of time I find. Far too much effort and I don't have the patience to use lip liner so I end up looking like I've been to clown school. Here's to restarting TTC cycle 2

My opks are just IC'S from amazon. Interested to know if there are any better without paying over the odds because mine were a little all over the place this month

Starky if you hold out until the 10th then I'll test with you!! I have a friend visiting that weekend so probably won't test until later on the 10th when she has left. AF is due that day, and absolutely no symptoms so far (although probably only 7Dpo) so currently I'm not too optimistic (we were also apart for the start of my FW) but we'll see. Just gonna minimise alcohol intake that weekend!

Someone mentioned strong smelling urine a few pages back...I've had that on and off since starting the conception vitamins! I worried about having a UTI but it's just the vitamins... I get the same reaction when I use protein powder too!

Hello everyone! Sorry was away a few days, now trying to catch up with all your news. Hopefully there's some more bfp's on their way!
I'm cd6, have been taking soy isoflavones since cd3, one more day of them. No idea if they'll help but I have read so much good stuff about them.
Due to ovulate in 6 days so am psyching the other half up for another busy week! Am going for quality over quantity so we will do our usual mon/wed/fri and then Saturday and/or Sunday for good measure. And a couple of days the week after. Should knacker us both out sufficiently.

Hi everyone!
choc you deffo sound pregnant to me! Have you tested again today?
ni good work on surnames. We've thought about that but our names are both so long it sounds ridiculous! But we will use my mum's maiden name as a middle name to keep it in the family.

Advice please! I'm about to buy some opks online - what should I go for? Just the cheapest ones on Amazon? Are any brands recommended? I've got a pack from boots but they only have 7 tests in and I want to start from as soon as AF goes to make sure I know what's going on!

Harriett I used First Step ones off amazon, really Good.

Thanks shelb!

What time of day did you test?

It says to test between 12 and 8pm but I'm usually at work between those times. Would later be ok or should I try to do it in the office??

harriet no I haven't, felt a bit disheartened tbh and still feeling preg isn't helping. No sign of bleeding and symptoms definitely stronger each day...

I've got a blood test booked on the 13th so we'll know then if I don't get a positive before. It's just frustrating! OH says unless I start AF then we will treat it like I'm pregnant as he's read you don't get falso positives so we'll see...

That sounds very positive choc - keeping everything crossed for you!
Stark you have the patience of a saint - I'm already going crazy (DH informed me this morning that I need to calm down - I informed him he needed to shut up) and I still have 8 days until I can test according to ovia!
