Ttc#1 Thread 7. 'I've sneezed twice, dtd, drank 2 glasses of juice, ate some cheese and I want a cuddle, Ovia am in pregnant yet?' TMI alert throughout.

[StarkyTheDirewolf]

Thread 7! 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!

We do not judge, we enjoy TMI, we i encourage waiting to poas nobody listens and all the grossness you can find from a group of intelligent, articulate ladies fart stories make us laugh

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

I've had nothing symptom-wise really. Or maybe I have but I'm not as obsessed as last cycle where the mildest bout of the shits meant I was preg. I did vomit today but that's because I couldn't get the god awful taste of iron out my mouth (burnt tongue of soup. Feel slightly ridiculous). Oh and I cried for like 10 minutes because of work shit which I never let get to me. I have been emo the past couple of days so am wondering if I'm gonna have an early af.

Wait...those are symptoms. Hm.

What's with all the mushroom hate? Man, I thought you were all so normal. (Not Stark, obvs. Put your bumhole away, love )

Hi ladies I need a slap around the chops and to be told to calm down counting on you 7 days before af due and small amount of pink spotting and everything really smells ummmm cinnamon bagels trying not to get my hopes up

Just had an unexpected baby bomb dropped on me by one of our closest friends. Erk not good timing! Of course underneath all the ttc madness I'm over the moon for her but this week is really working out very shitty >sits in the corner of the room and feels immensely sorry for self<

fx and skip I'm also wondering about exercise ... Would love to be in tip top shape before being pg. I'm trying to up my number of jogging sessions per week and looking into joining a kettlebells class to improve strength and get more toned. There's a half marathon I'd like to do in June if not upduffed by then! (What a treat for myself - must be mad)

Your spotting smells like cinnamon bagels?! I'd enjoy it while it lasts!!! FX it's IB for you

Thanks harriet and Holly for your responses. I am definately not underweight, and usually exercise for about 3 hours a day. I've had to stop running so just yoga and weights, or resistance training. Just unclear about what might be too much! I have read that high impact could damage implantation so was thinking I wouldn't play rugby this year, but then again not sure if it's even true!

Checking in.
Stats
TTC #1
Cycle #3 (although have not been 'preventing' pregnancy since 2011)
Testing 16th Feb/day AF due

I'm surrounded by pregnant women at the moment. My best friend is pregnant, my husband's best friend's wife is pregnant and several of my midwifery colleagues are also pregnant. Why isn't it me?!

Welcome Pug and try not to let the envy get you. We've talked a bit on this thread about the extent to which people try to pretend they weren't trying for various reasons. Enjoy the crazy here as we symptom-spot and over-share, starky will astound you with her pissystick knowledge, kat will add you to the buses as they come along and choc will eventually get another BFP or will give birth soon and all will be well

I imagine kat as one of those holiday reps that directs you to your correct bus for your hotel

Ovia is a dick. She's asking forcing me to do a test in 5 days which would make me CD 24. And is saying af isn't due until the 2nd Feb. I'm so confuuuuuuused.

Don't listen to her Miley she keeps telling me to take an OPK so she can fuck with my FW AGAIN!

you'll all be pregnant and waving your arses around soon enough with food aversions, I'm just ahead of the craze...and not pregnant!

Ive just created home made peanut butter cups (like reeces pieces!) Yummers! Anyone for tea?

miley IGNORE WHYBIRD (OVIA) It tells you to test from like 11/12 dpo! It's too early! Don't do it! Wait till af day! You can last the few extra days! You can! Ovia just encourages having no will power! 😲

Agree don't do it Miley! Sometimes feel Ovia is just messing with me!

Evergreen that is such a cute idea for telling your DP! I haven't thought that far ahead, will think on it some more. I'm guessing the name Marta is out then?

Sorry about the baby bomb Moggy.

The hormones since coming off the pill have shocked me tbh...last cycle I had nausea, funny taste, bloating, off coffee and alcohol and vivid dreams. I was so convinced it was my month. I even dreamt of getting a BFP, only to wake up, test and get a bloody BFN! Then, to add insult to injury AF was 5 days late! Swear my body was laughing at me. This month, zilch symptoms, pretty sure we missed ovulation too so waiting for AF before jumping on the Feb bus.

Welcome newbies!

Hugs Pug , it's hard when everyone around you seems to be pregnant.

Getting myself in a pickle . Had a lovely meal out and a couple of drinks. Am currently on my TWW and have tummy cramps. The alcohol wouldn't do that would it?

Don't stress your self out miw there is literally nothing you can do either way at this stage. There's no point worrying about it.

So much to catch up on again!

Definitely agree with the mushroom hating. Mainly the slimy texture - yuckers.

Also wish DH meant Domesticated Husband. Mine isn't bad, but he would never do anything domestic unless I specifically asked nagged him to.

Apologies to anyone who thought I was exotic and Greek (I fucking wish). Unfortunately I'm a boring Kentish lass. The MN name is a Simpsons reference - DH and I are obsessive fans (read: incredibly sad losers) and regularly quote it to each other.

Also lols at whoever said their DH wanted to be involved in the fun of testing.... If only he knew the cray cray involved....

And congrats to Lauren if I haven't already said it!

I'm in exactly the same position miw and trying not to stress over it. It's way too early to have any impact whatsoever so I'm just going to drink lots of water and go to bed.

Also, mushroom haters of the world unite. Utterly vile things that just shouldn't exist.

Yes Elle Marta is out glad you like the idea, although it means I will have to keep it a secret for a few days when I if I ever get my BFP so the onesie can be delivered. But I will share it here and here only You will actually be the first people to know!!!!

I am having the best weekend just chilling after all the sex from fw. How do people manage? No idea. Ten years ago I could dtd everyday and now... Look at me

Just thinking about next month's fertile week is exhausting

I don't check this thread for 24hrs and ive missed loads! Will catch up...but first... I'm so proud to finally have a positive (I think that's positive, right?!) opk!!

It's not a BFP I know, but I still feel very excited about it! For the first time I know without doubt we're actually dtd during my fertile days!

Miw I wouldnt worry about those drinks. How many people find out they are upduffed and have been drinking? If it was a big issue we would know by know. I am not saying you should get hammered, but this TTC business is hard enough

Ni nice poas! Yep, positive

I know exactly what you mean Evergreen. Dtd every other day (at least) used to be the norm when dh and I were first together! Now, I just want a nice cup of tea and a sit down.
