Ttc#1 Thread 6. Flying through threads! The bus is going 100 mph and only stopping to drop off at the grads thread! Symptom spotting & TMI alert throughout.

[StarkyTheDirewolf]

Thread 6! Wowzers! Welcome one and all! Group of weirdos, wee hoarders, covert opk or okp, depending on what your autocorrect decides addicts with a side business in cm management!

Post your stats and add your dates. We have a register thanks to kat, a resident piss stick queen runner, loaaaaaads of bfp'ers who keep us positive! We don't have rules, we love a good symptom spot, we try to stay grounded and not be hysterical sometimes we manage it aswell

But on the whole, we're a good bunch, especially bunch who is literally, a bunch. bunch

Thanks for the advice Feefeefs 👍. I'm taking pregnacare conception vitamins, b12 and evening primrose oil. Do you think that's enough?

Working on my diet but as a fussy vegetarian it can still be doing with a lot of work!

choc symptoms are clearly just bastards!

If your BMI is over 30 you should take 5mg of folic acid it needs to be prescribed by a GP. Otherwise it sounds good what you're taking. If you don't eat fish you may benefit from fish oils too but ensure they don't contain bit A

Vitamin A not bit a!

Why does folic acid need to be higher if overweight? I do not want to calculate my bmi but I am sure it is over 30... I am a size 20 and just 5ft 4"...

So far 3 bfns in a row but am holding out hope that tomorrow (which is official test day) it will be a bfp...

Fingers crossed kwick! I've had BFNs today and yesterday but still holding out some hope for Wednesday when AF is due. Not looking good though for me - feel quite pessimistic. I don't "feel" pregnant but then again I've never been pregnant before...

leonie best of luck to you too. My af is not due until later this week but I have had medicated IUI so the test date is different. I will try with a FRER tomorrow and still hold on to hope that if not bfp that I am one of the 450 that does not present with hcg...

You're not out til you're out leonie and kwick

My bmi is ridiculously low. So low I was once told I'd struggle to have kids but my mum is the same size! I had to uncomplicated pregnancies with babies I was told would be 4lb... one was 6lb 7 and the other 7lb 8!

I wonder if the vitamins I take potentially over load my system being so small! 😨

I think I'm average whatever that is! I'm 5,3 and usually about 9 stone give or take a few pounds. I'm quote sturdily build though, I just take folic acid and multi vitamin with no vit a. Dh just announced that he's still quite shocked we didn't get pregnant on cycle 1, oh how little he knows! I think he's in for a surprise when it takes much longer than he's expecting.

So after loads of cm earlier now getting spotting and cramping, looks like AF has decided to pay her visit 9 days early, no idea where I'm up to in my cycle haha

Greater chance of spina bifida in BMI over 30 kwick so higher folic acid recommended. They will also likely do a test for gestational diabetes too, which can be managed fairly easily but is very important to manage. Good luck for you test tomorrow!

Sorry to the bitch arrived lauren

choc I think you'll be alright! Most of the vitamins are just excreted in your wee if you take too much!

I just discovered the chart overlay function on FF and it's really fascinating! I ovulate at the same temps pretty much. 5dpo and 9/10dpo are complete opposites. Yet more proof (like we need it) that our bodies like to mess us around!

That's what I was thinking leonie don't 'feel' pregnant at all! Not hopeful!

Dubbya and Leonie I don't feel anything let alone pregnant. So maybe that's a good thing? I felt everything along with the kitchen sink and af arrived with 3 suitcases and a pissy attitude. This month I feel nothing. Fingers crossed for all of us!

Ah see I'm 5ft 6 and around 7 stone... never been on a diet in my life. Thyroid fine, Im just built like a stick 😂😂 I don't think alot of guys realise it'll take a while!!

Good to know feefs thank you 😁😁

Hi everyone!
I need some pissy stick advice! I've attached a pic of today's opk. Circle is control and square is the result. Obviously the control is darker but there's not that much difference. According to ovia I'm not supposed to ovulate until Friday...does this mean it's likely to be earlier than that?? Does the line get darker over time?
It doesn't really matter much cos planning to dtd every day this week if we can anyway, but interested to know how accurate ovia is!

I'm 5'5" and two of you choc

Pretty sure 1/4 of that is boobage. But still. Mortifying.

Ps choc pretty jealous of your metabolism!

I'm 5'7" and fluctuate 9-9.5 stone. Most of my fat is on my bum and legs though which is annoying! I have a small waist so slightly worried about losing that in pregnancy and just looking like a blob!

I would trust the pissy stick over Ovia. You can change your ovulation date on there once your temp has confirmed ovulation. That stick looks a smidge away from positive.

Savour the boobage snow ... on a beach I look like a long haired cross dressing 12 yr old boy 😂😂

harriet I've had 2 children already, I stayed the same size my whole pregnancy and even left hospital in my size 4-6 jeans! I don't even have any stretch marks so trust me, pregnancy doesn't always 'ruin' your figure not that I have onever really but you know what I mean!

😂😂😂😂😂 choc I just snorted very unattractively and dh gave me The Look of Pity. Glad it's not fw or I doubt I'd be getting any today.

😂😂😂 sorry snow I am verrrrrrrry jealous of people with decent size chesticles! I look like 2 peas on an ironing board. I'm surprised the nurse that did my blood test didn't give me two plasters for my mosquito bites 😉😂

I could store nuts for winter under mine unless I wear a military grade over shoulder boulder holder. They are so heavy atm though, they feel so saggy and in the way. Not at all pert and youthful. Weep.
