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

confused I've deffo had school glue cm - it's the creamy sticky stuff that I get before and after ewcm!

Omg dh and the boys made pancakes! What a win! Of course the kitchen looks like some sort of wmd has happened in there... but it was tasty

Omg, my boob pain just kicked in. Now I know af is on its way.

impy I can't tell you how jealous I am! I'm supposed to be on a big health kick right now.

confused that sucks. Still not out though

Morning ladies

Decided it might be time to stop lurking and jump in to the symptom spotting fun.

Could use some second opinions. Am ttc 1, cycle 1, cd 60. Ridonkulous post pill cycles of up to 97 days are playing havoc with my brain, and Clue and Ovia (cos, y'know, one app isn't enough... thanks brain) are differing pretty wildly re fw. Have been dtd with gay abandon but now have no bloody idea when to test. Bfn around day 45 of cycle. Thoughts welcomed, lest I buy shares in pissy sticks and go certifiably crackers!

Love the onesie starky!

I Defo get "school glue" like ova glue stuff! Got more of it than normal at the moment too but might just be imagining that. Also touching my cervix does not bother me in the slightest! Feeling like I'm a bit odd now!

Was talking to DH yesterday about all the comments I got during the week re pregnancy and he was surprised, also I said how it's annoying that most people make out it was a surprise, and how it hadn't happened for us straight away and he said I didn't know that yet he thought my period was the withdrawal bleed from the pill I'd stopped 5 weeks before and had a withdrawal bleed from! I think more explaining may have to be done!

feef you are definitely not the odd one.

I've noticed sticky pva type but I'm never sure if it's just man milk juice residue.

Hi planet! I'm not the expert re cycles and pissy sticks but jeeeezus 97 day cycles? I'm impressed you're not sectioned. Hopefully it settles down for you soon

feeffeef cervix thing doesn't bother me either

I'm 10 dpo and cramping. Am so tempted to test...

katherino enjoy your lunch
miley ha yeah
Ni enjoy your brunch.
Am off for a long walk with DH.

Welcome planteer! Not sure re testing. Do you know when you ovulated?

Thanks suchajem and miley Glad I'm not the only one suchajem!

Gonna have a proper chill out day today and I'm so excited for it! Ha ha

Hey feef and miley. Told myself I was going to be v chilled out about it (ha!!) so no opks and not sure when ov happened. It's all a bit chaotic really.

Hope you all have lovely Sundays and that the green eyed beast doesn't hit too hard for those who'll be around tiny humans.

whoever was talking about dreams- i had a REALLY Weird dream last night! i woke up and tried to tell DH about it but I couldn't even explain it. its strange how when you are asleep its all good and makes total sense, but you can't even put it into words when awake!

miley you have raised your dog to national standard.... definitely able to have a baby now!

re cervix touching. I had a good feel around last week, and i dont like it. It's weird. And now when dtd i have found myself thinking "yup... thats pushing my cervix. hmmm.. :S" rather than "ooh that's nice" ... kinda spoilt something. Concerned how the whole thing will be spoilt after pushing a watermelon through it. :S

DH is away now until tomorrow evening. I managed to get a quick dtd in before he left. Although we did it yesterday too... i reasoned that if "eod" - saturday morning and monday night is almost 2 days. and waved my pissy sticks at him with their two OPK lines on. (Since when did I become SO sexy?!?!)

Kathrini I am really struggling to like your friend. How insensitive. And I have news for you, if you think CM is disgusting, wait to see what comes out of a baby
Miley have you touched it? I don't trust mine. I think most people are ok with touching it. I rather eat my own nail clippings
Welcome Planeteer we love a good poas here. Maybe test once a week?
Feef I love the "you don't know that yet" DP was puzzled when I said I can only get pregnant during a couple of days every month (I said a couple to add more drama) he was like huh

Kathrino no kathrini

I haven't poas this morning I gave myself a big pep talk yesterday a la "yes, you might have bfp'd early before, but you're now 2 days pre-AF, cramping and spotting. Just wait and stop torturing yourself." It's worked this morning, not sure if I'll stick to it tomorrow!

95 days!!! Omg!!! Are you temping? I'd think that's about the only way you'd know.

I don't mind touching my cervix. But in fairly practical about bodies. Also by the time you've been through one pregnancy and birth you'll have no shame or dignity either Everyone pokes around and looks up there. I honestly couldn't tell you know how many people have now seen my cervix, let alone touched it. Plus the kids gave it a wave as they passed through

Kegal balls - that's how you fix it afterwards. I have some really good, progressively weighted ones from Coco de Mer.

I've given up on cervix checking and cm charting, I've no idea what is man milk and what is fanny juice. Opk are equally confusing! So I've resigned myself to every other day dtd all month! Luckily, Dh still has the mindset of a horny 19 yr old regarding sex so he's still happy to get laid as mu h as possible! I just have to wave my fanny about a bit. I suppose though, I'm lucky as he wakes up mid afternoon so more often than not I can catch him with a "morning glory" as it were!

It's true isn't it, impy! When you are pg you'll prob lose count of the number of times your foof has been examined and prodded! Also if there's a student or two there, they get to have a good look too! Obviously with your consent - but I'd feel too mean not to consent.

Saying all that, I really don't like feeling it. I check for cm but feeling it does freak me out a bit. I always wonder if it's feels right! Definitely cannot get my head round the cervical positioning either!

That's very lucky Stark. Morning glory is by far the best time to catch my dh, but he's one of those morning people. Not even joking, up by 7am at the weekend and 6am during the week.

I'd turkey baster myself before getting up anywhere near that early.

@ all the cervix touching. I'm partial to a cervix touch but I've no idea what I'm doing. Cervix check today revealed some af - imminent arrival so expected, still a bit crap though.

Anyway onwards & upwards!

What I've learnt this cycle

• I ovulate on day 13/14
• My leutal phase is 13 days
• my temps show that I do ovulate & temp is consistently above in LP

What I'm doing differently next month

• no alcohol!
• eat more fruit/nuts/fish/dark greens
• dtd from CD11 - CD15 (started from CD8 this month --- way too much for poor DH!)
• taking soy cd 3-7 & higher dose
• don't use conceive plus - too slippery!

Any suggestions to increase ewcm naturally?

Zazzles I think someone on here mentioned taking evening primrose oil for better quality cm for ttc - worth looking into.

Thanks holly I'll look into it

kat I think my next af / test date is 20th Feb if you're still kindly updating the list :)

Man's milk and fanny juice stark you are so lucky!!!! I have to do all the work and effort to get any.

Zazzles I have learnt similar lessons to yours. Maybe the most important one is that I ovulate around day 14 to 16, 2 days after a positive OPK. So I will do poas and only start dtd on the day that I get the positive. Anything more than three days on a row my DP can't handle.
I use conceive plus throughout the month and preseed on fw. I use preseed internally.

Anyone else on preseed? With little applicator?

Yep zazzles still updating the list.
There are people on the list that I don't think like us as they haven't posted anything in a few weeks, and I had a little wander around some other TTC threads and saw them :( I feel a bit like we've been dumped :(

Ha the latest posts have made me laugh! 😀Feeling a bit down today. This TWW is horrible it's like an impending doom .....
I also have these feeings when bad and good things are about to happen. Sometimes they are really a good things sometimes they are bad. I have this feeling at the moment which means am not sleeping. ( last time I had one FIL had a heart attack ).
I realise that I sound a few sandwiches short of a picnic.

kat as a newbie I like it here. It's nice and cosy.
