Lanadel · 12/01/2016 21:20

And thanks drink not long til you're testing! Do you have any inkling if this is your month? X

drinkyourmilk · 12/01/2016 21:26

No pg signs at all. I started slimming world on the first, so I'm bloated because of that, and my dh has passed on a cold.
So I'm stinky, sniffy and sneezey.

IrregularCommentary · 12/01/2016 21:29

Hey all. Completely new to both the site and ttc! Came off the pill in the summer and been tracking with a fertility app since then. Dtd this week and then testing end of Jan.

Wasn't expecting it to feel like such a big deal really with it being our first month, but it really does. Guessing that's normal...!?

Anyway, congrats all who have had good news already and good luck everyone else Smile

AllyBali123 · 12/01/2016 21:33

Hi Irregular welcome and good luck! Yup it's a big deal even at the start, you are gonna be constantly thinking about it. I'm six months Trying to conceive our second bambino, took a year to get preggers first time around so I'm just hoping it isn't longer this time!

LisaTheGreek · 12/01/2016 21:33

So much has happened while I've been at work! Just leaving now and I've been buoyed by the lovely news that my SIL has just given birth to her first. So excited for her. My DH was as well and text me saying 'we should get one...'. Grin

Lana - many congrats lovely lady! So happy for you! Thanks

Also, chuckling to myself at the idea of belly buttons turning green! Amazing idea! Someone should take it to Dragon's Den....

AllyBali123 · 12/01/2016 21:35

Oof lots of testers next week!! Let's hope we get a few bfp!!

Evergreen15 · 12/01/2016 21:35

Choc so sorry to hear! But you are handling this like a pro! I would be an utter mess!!!!!! ConfusedConfusedConfused

Starky I am with you, you are not out until you are out, but you also don't want to get disappointed... Wait a couple of days then we'll see Smile

I have been watching the Tudors and wondering how they managed back then:
Pros: no poas
No Ovia feeding you false hopes__
No googling every possible symptom

Cons: no poas
No ovia
No google
No forum! Grin

Evergreen15 · 12/01/2016 21:36

The underlining looked better on my draft Confused

Evergreen15 · 12/01/2016 21:40

Lisa congrats on dsis baby! SmileStarThanks

Kathrino · 12/01/2016 21:42

Hello lovely ladies, is there room for another one? I thought I should probably join rather than be a creeper reading about other people's CM without volunteering any details of my own...

Once AF buggers off tomorrow we should hopefully be into our second month of TTC #1. I think I got a little bit POAS-happy last month which I totally blame on it being our first month of trying and I promise this this month I'll be better and wait until AF is due on 7 Feb. Maybe.

FX for all those testing soon!

StarkyTheDirewolf · 12/01/2016 21:44

Cons: if you didn't get pregnant and produce a boy your kingly husband would hire a french man to execute the shit out of you! Grin

freaking love the tudors

evergreen I am trying to remain aloof and in control. Whilst eating chocolate. And being irrationally emotional over small things 😂😂 so much for getting my answer this week!!

StarkyTheDirewolf · 12/01/2016 21:52

I've got biscuits, aldi half coated milk chocolate chip ones, they are the bollocks!

Mileymoocow · 12/01/2016 21:57

lisa congratulations on the new addition! I've been noticing pregnancy sooo much more recently. Doesn't help it's been slapping me in the face in the form of BOTH of my cousins being pregnant (one due in 2 weeks, the other announced at christmas) and me irrationally getting anxious over the thought of them naming their babies the same names I have picked out

starky I think I know the ones. They are the mutts nuts!

Pugmummy87 · 12/01/2016 22:15

This thread moves quick!

Congrats to all those with BFP's!

Choc Sorry to hear you still don't have a definate answer, if HCG is below 4, than they would say it's negative, so don't lose hope! Does your local hospital have an early pregnancy unit? They are usually the experts with interpreting HCG levels, so hopefully your GP is speaking to them! Could you ask for a repeat blood test so they can compare levels as it should be rising if you are pregnant.

I think AF is imminent, have been cranky for the last few days and today woke up feeling very crampy, had some brownish discharge and a bit of spotting this evening. CD 41 today, so seems like i can finally get this damn cycle over with and get on with the next one!

AllyBali123 · 12/01/2016 22:17

I almost devoured an entire tube of jelly tots tonight...also raided my Dds tub of Xmas choc....bad mummy and going to bed feeling sick again due to my over consumption of sweets,this point in the month is just so much fun!! Confused

AllyBali123 · 12/01/2016 22:19

Starky - omg how good are those aldi biscuits! I totally want some now u have mentioned them haha!!

Kathrino · 12/01/2016 22:23

I took full advantage of AF to eat copious amounts of raw cookie dough when I was baking chocolate chip cookies for work last night. I'm pretty sure that biscuits are the only thing that make TTC bearable.

Laurenowls · 12/01/2016 22:24
