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!

Snow - yeah 3-7 rings a bell. Just googled and apparently the earlier you take it in the cycle the more chance of a releasing multiple eggs & sooner, but taking later in the cycle makes the egg you have stronger. You should never take it more than a few days in the cycle.
I'll be taking it 3-7 like you. What dosage are you thinking? Think I'll go from 75mg and end at 200mg by CD7.

Hey Ni! Search for soya isoflavones - there wereplenty of topics on it a little while ago :)

I've found it in 40mg pills and will probably do 120mg x 2 days, 160mg x 2 days and end on 200mg the final day. Lots of posters on pregnancy forums seemed to have success with that dosage. Am going the throw everything but the kitchen sink at the next two cycles and see what happens!

Welcome zazzles are you a big bang theory fan? (We call my df Sheldon, he's undiagnosed aspergers!)

Ooh soy? I'd not heard of that! I've been out for a dinner party, it was good fun! I've had a glass or three of champagne! I cant handle my drink these days, i have to pace myself! This time last year I was working nights and could easily get through a couple of bottles a shift! (We could drink at work!) Whoops! Thinking of going on a day out with dh tomorrow, we've not had a proper day and evening together for about two/three weeks so I'm looking forward to it! I actually put make up and a proper bra on this evening! But I did have a reindeer in my bun, so not all grown up! How is everyone?

Omg just had red spotting a week before AF due...either surprise early AF or poss implantation bleeding???! Never had this before!

Ooh harriet definetly a possibility for implantation bleeding! Exciting!

I reckon I'm going to get an early af going by my weird cramps, I've been spotty and unreasonably hormonal too pms all usual signs that af is a week or so off for me. All this rich food has messed with my innards too, I'm bloated and gassy! Just waiting on my boobs becoming tender and swollen and then I know af is en route!

Looks like af just pulled into the driveway. Roll on cycle 2. After a few too many over New Years!

Harriet that sounds very positive!
Sorry to the girls who got their AF or bfn's..wishing you lots of luck next month!

I havnt really got any major symptoms, except for the ones I mentioned last week when I was going insane my ovia app says to test on 3rd but I should be due on about the 6th so we'll see! Can't feel any AF symptoms yet either so I'm keeping my fingers crossed. I do feel terribly bloated and windy but blaming that solely on me being a pig the last few days!
I can't wait for new year now and to get all this rich fattening food out of the house!

Checking in again. CD 4 and ready to get shagging!

It's def possible to get a bit of an lh surge and not ovulate early in the cycle. So that latest test looks right on the money kat! Sounds like you've got the timing spot on this month.

My skin has had a delayed reaction to AF hormones and I now have big angry hormonal spots all around my jawline. My wedding is this weekend FFS. The makeup lady is going to need to work a miracle!

Plan for today is a bit of sales shopping. And also a gym trip to atone for Christmas eating!

Canters - so exciting that you're getting married at the weekend!

Snow sorry AF got you.

Harriet that sounds really promising. Fx for you.

I'm so tempted to start testing- but I know it's too early. Ovia says 5 days.

Hi ladies, just checking in.

Canters, hope you have a wonderful wedding this weekend and lots of shagging too

Snow, sorry to hear AF got you.

Starky, how many days dpo are you roughly? If I remember you aren't exactly sure when you ovulated (like me!) but although those symptoms could well be AF they are also very similar to the symptoms I got before my BFP, so you never know?

Bubba, a first response might be the way forward if you want to test early, but I'd hold out as long as you can!

Is 8 days dpo too early to test? I have what looks like the beginning of a triphasic pattern on my bbt chart and am now getting my hopes up. Only symptoms are headache, really sore boobs and (sorry tmi) constipated

Well I thought I was 8dpo, but I've just done an okp and got the darkest of dark test lines! I've not don't any okp's since before Christmas eve! I best get on dtd! What a confusing result! I'm now assuming I'm ovulating today?

Or maybe you're preggers starky! Remember runners opk from last thread?!! maybe do a preg test too

I did a pregnancy test too canters me, jumping the gun?! Never but I panicked and went an woke Dh up to dtd and now I can't find it, I've genuinely no idea where it is! Either way, I feel quite positive now! Because I was convinced I'd not ovulated last week/missed my ovulation, so it's a win-win! Dh is at home most of this week, so plenty of time to dtd if I am ovulating! Or I'm already pregnant! Positive okp threw me off completely! I literally immediately went and made a still sleeping Dh a coffee, practically threw it down his neck and climbed on!

I had a dark OPK just before my BFP starky, so you never know

Haha I'd love to think so pink but I'm thinking I probably ovulated a lot later than I anticipated, which is probably in line with what mydays predicted, rather than ovia, I've updated ovia but will do another okp this evening and tomorrow, and then I've run out, unless I can convince Dh to go to wilkos so I can get some more!

It's the darkest okp I've had this cycle yet, and I'm on cd23. How confusing are bodies!?

Cd23... Humm Stark I'd try to find that pregnancy test as that's really late for ovulation.

Aaahh Starky that sounds very promising!

I don't know if AF will appear next week but I am not the most pleasant person to be around today want to hit DH every time he speaks and I'm pretty tired. I feel like we didn't DTD as much as we should've this month, I went by the ovia app and my CF and we DTD on the days I thought I was ovulating. 6 days until test who am I kidding probably will buy one tomorrow

Well just to mess with my head, the spotting that looked like af en route went away and now I'm just plagued with very ambiguous yellow/slightly pink tinged cm when I wipe. Could still turn into af today or tomorrow I guess. I feel like crp, got a sore throat and cold and now my ears hurt like I'm getting an ear infection. Thank god I'm not working this week I just want to crawl under my electric blanket and watch bad tv and be miserable. I missed fmu today so I can't test again til tomorrow but I feel like af is just taunting me. Btch.

Starky find that test!!!!! A positive opk could mean a positive something else at 8dpo!!!!!!

Starky.... Cd23? That's a v late ovulation or something else. I'd do a pregnancy test asap just to make sure

I'm feeling hopeful this is my month after my positive OPK yesterday- is it a bad thing to dtd every day rather than every other?

Test starky!!!
I haven't had any more spotting today but lots of AF type cramps. Could just be that AF is coming earlier than expected (I'm on cd28 but usually have 33-34 day cycles)...I'll have to wait and see. Think I'm 7 or 8dpo today.

Keep us updated starky!

Ps snowdog also sounds like you're due a test!

starky yes I heart Big Bang! Your champers sounds delish. I've got my favourite bottle of presseco lined up for tonight

In more exciting news - please POAS! positive opk that late in your cycle would be enough to beg/borrow/steal a pissy stick!

snow sorry you're still feeling rough - I'm glad af has backed off, so still time yet

My af is due tomorrow btw, I can feel cramping etc so know she's on her way. Pooo!

Keeps checking here to see if we have heard anything from starky
