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

Thanks starky

Ooh Miley, I had a similar pain last month. Really odd. I put it down to the fact that I had my keyhole surgery there a few months ago to remove my gallbladder and I'm not 100% yet but maybe it was something more exciting!

Checking in....

CD25 of 27, 11dpo - bfn's

Enjoys the odd glass of bailys drinks too much and should stop when ttc

Turns out I have not been very clever and scheduled the blood test for Jan 20, rather than for CD 20/21. D'oh. Accordingly my hcg levels were quite low (9.8? I think). Thankfully it's not too late and I've now scheduled another blood test for the coming Tuesday which is cycle day 21 and should be right on the money. sigh

Ooo kathrino when are you due to test? I'm only 5dpo so very unlikely to be anything more interesting than wind but one can hope!! It is very bizarre choc! So are your af symptoms. What. The. Hell.

I had that low down pain thing last Friday just on my left side. It was like a scratchy itchy feeling not a muscle cramp iyswim. Then I had pink spotting that evening. I'd love to think that was implantation but it's probably just my idiot body.

Miley, I'm not really due to test for a couple of weeks but I think I missed when I actually ovulated this month so not sure how many DPO I am. I'd guess around 3/4. It's an odd sort of pain isn't it?!

Helllllloooo new thread!

CD20 of 33, testing 3rd Feb

So having compared the SIX fertility apps I now have, plus my pissy stick result, I'm pretty sure I ovulated on Monday or Tuesday. Why today have I had loads of EWCM and also felt really tingly down there...kind of as if I'm partially aroused?? (Starting tmi as I mean to go on...soz!). Definitely going to dtd later just in case!

I foresee two weeks of symptom spotting ahead!

I feel so meh today plus I'm picking at anything in the cupboard/fridge currently rifling through the muesli for nuts or raisins as we don't have any goodies left from Xmas plus I'm so tired! Maybe I just need a good sleep to sort my mood out, don't actually know when I ovulated but think it was Tuesday or Wednesday. I don't get LOADS of EWCM btw? I'll have a bit but don't have gallons of the stuff..anyone else like that?

Checking in with you lovely ladybros...

TTC#1, Cycle #1
Testing on 28 Jan (Ovia) or 31 Jan (FF) - will probably hold out until 29...

Here I am, do I have to post my stats every time? I'm way too lazy for that hahaha

Anyway I totally get all you ladies who talk about dh just being clueless. He has a lot on and is always tired and sometimes I feel like he dtd just cos he feels he has to in fw, he's so not into it... I also think he though it was going to be easy and was genuinely surprised it didn't happen first time. I don't know why for all these men it is suddenly so damn difficult to just have sex! Never stopped them in the past lol!

indi laughing so hard at you rifling through muesli. I do the exact same when I put myself on a diet.

indi I had pretty much no EWCM last month. Month before that I had a fair bit. Seems to vary.

snow I totally feel like I let people down. Though I know it's ridiculous and I haven't. My parents know I'm Ttc and I hate that they're waiting for an announcement. My mum and sister both got pregnant 1st month of trying. My mum did this 4 times apparently. Even worse than that, I don't want to tell Ovia that AF is here because I feel I've let her down too!! I think I've lost it!!

Lara - definitely don't feel about telling Ovia. The bitch has it coming, frankly.

Btw meant to share typical story of OH completely failing to grasp how conception works. I've explained it to him a million times including how this is my fw and that's why all the dtd etc.

So last night I did an opk and left it in the bathroom. When OH came to bed he was like, so are you pregnant then (obv having spotted the opk)! (A) if I was I would have told him, (b) it was like the day after we dtd!

Like lots of people's OHs he clearly thinks all you need is a quick shag and bam you're immediately upduffed. If only it was as quick and easy as that!

Hahahahaha lisa that made me laugh 😄

Harriet I think my OH's mind works in a similar way.

Snow I'm keeping fingers crossed for you!! And for all of you testing soon.

Lara, I get this too. I feel like not conceiving is somehow a failure on my side. Intellectually I know it's not, but emotionally it does feel like it. So much planning in DP and my life is affected / will be affected by a pregnancy and I want to know what and when to plan for. Plus right now my mum's going through breast cancer treatment and I'd so love to cheer her up with good news.

Re Ovia - I'm with Lisa. I was about to give the same answer, only more polite. ;-)

Ovia still thinks I'm due af on the 25th. She's a bitch.

Does anyone know how cm is supposed to change after conception? Just so we can symptom spot even more hahaha

Go away af, looking forward to fw!
Will be testing 20th Feb

confused last month I had lots of yellow ish cm and this month I'm pretty dry and what I do have is more white/cream.

Cthulhoo that's exactly it. There's such a lot hanging on this. We are moving house in preparation, for example. It's hard not to feel responsible because it's your body. Sorry to hear about your mum, but I understand on that score too - dad has cancer and he'd be so delighted if I could tell him I was pregnant. But I'm sure we'll all be telling people soon enough!

Just checking in.

Testing 30th

Am feeling very emotional today. Was at area sports with work and was almost in tears.
My DH thought TTC would just happen.

I'm a bit chirpier today. Having some issues controlling pain from another issue but it's getting a bit better .

I find it difficult at times being positive without getting overly excited, and then I'm afraid of getting excited in case it doesn't happen! It's hard to balance
