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

Yeah Evergreen I've tried the pre-seed internally last month...seemed fine. Haven't used it yet this cycle...not sure if it's needed so thought I wouldn't go obsessive!

Zazzles give the pre seed a go. Other than that I read that staying hydrated helps increase all amounts of mucus...and wasn't there something about a certain ingredient in some cough syrups (they make clogged up mucus in your nose/chest more fluidy, and apparently make all your other bodily fluid more liquidy too!) Have a Google...I think a lot of women use it for ttc. There's probably some foods that help too if you have a Google for them.. I've read too much-cant even remember what the details are anymore!

Have informed OH that we need to dtd if we want a chance this month...now waiting for him to make a move. Feel Ive instigated it enough the last few days. Minding egos and sex drives and everything else is a bloody pain. Poas is so much more controllable..why can't we just upduff ourselves? Save sex just for fun??!

evergreen we use preseed. Not with the applicator though. Last time we tried that it was too much and he nearly fell off the bed. Now I just use it like a regular lube and make sure he's got lots on when he's getting down to business.

zazzles I'm doing the soy 2-6 this cycle as I ovulate so soon (day 10/11) so I want to make sure it's had time to do its thing.

Ni the thai in cough medicine is guafenicin it's also in beech and tablets and that sort of thing, makes more mucus or thinner nicki's apparently. I've not tried it. I don't tend to have that sort of thing in-stock and think DH wouldn't approve of such things.

Zazzles I bought "fertility gel" by fertile check from boots I presume is the same sort or thing. Unfortunately I used one the other day in anticipation by DH was grumpy and went to sleep without so much as a goodnight kiss. Lol. There was a lot more fluid than I was expecting in the little sachet thing though. Haven't used since as DH thinks is silly (he wants to do it naturally and without all of this stressing/poasing/etc

I need some sympathy I went to the gym and overdid the biceps and have such bad doms I can hardly brush my hair, lift my tea, or wash the dishes. I haven't tried hoovering but I will leave it until tomorrow :-s

We haven't been using pre seed et Al...yet. give me a few more cycles and I'm sure ill have shares in them! I started out in December thinking I would order more than 10 opk at a time! Mind, given that we practically in February and I'm still only just into cycle 2, these long cycles are bollocks!

I find myself much more thirsty in the middle of my cycle. Maybe something to do with the body requiring more hydration to produce indeterminate cm! I've stopped entering cm into ovia. And I'm not putting opk results in either. I'm just using it to know who h day I'm on. She is a fickle bitch so I'm depriving her of any information now!

Ha! Amazing how Ovia has peed us off when last month we thought she was ace! I've downloaded fertility friend to have an alternative to her. Not as user friendly, but seems packed with ways to track data and analyse it.
I feel on the brink of a hysterical outburst...packing up my lovely house for the move to a not-as-nice rental place, and waiting for OH to show some interest 😞 Feeling emotional and very sorry for myself

Caved and tested today - got a bfn

AF is due in 4 days so will wait and see now if she shows up.

Did you use fmu jem?

kat maybe they're easily offended and prudish and do not like talking about poo and cervical mucus.

Kat - for each person who has left us, we have people here (including your lovely self) who are worth double them.

Hi ladies, just checking in to see how you are all doing. And to make sure there is still an appropriate level of CM and poas talk as always

Fingers crossed for some more bfp's soon!

I dump we another thread for this one kat.

miwelaisjacydo I get like that sometimes too but I think it can be a bit of a self fulfilling prophecy.

Oh poor ni the new house will work out. Change is never all bad. Men are thick sometimes and don't get the hint! Try and snuggle in you'll both feel better afterwards DTD is a great stress reliever

Heeeeeey punk how are you? How's tinky bean doing? As always much farting and cm chat! I'm just picking up my my stride into cycle 2! And im still discouraging any early poas-ing!

ni you're probably both stressed, just some men aren't good at emoting! I didn't like ff, it majorly confused me so I had to delete it.

Not temping yet impy was all part of my nonchalant "I'm so chilled about this ttc thing " attitude, which as you can tell has fallen by the wayside. Just bought some conceive+ (one of preseed's ilk but without the applicator), so we'll see how that goes.
Sorry to hear about the bfn such. It ain't over til the red witch arrives though.

I'm sure some posters have found this thread not to their taste, we do talk about farting and poo A LOT we are quite gross! But, intermittent posters, lurkers and regulars are all welcome! We only had about 6 people on the first thread initially and oh my how we've grown! I suppose it could be a little bit intimidating posting into an "established" thread maybe? And our threads move on FAST! Im a reg and I find it hard sometimes!

But I love our bubble, chat and aibu can be harsh as fuck! Even things I've seen on pregnancy I've been like "fuck me, rude much!" I definetly think some posters (on other threads/parts of mn) forget that it's a free Internet forum and if you're new to mn it can be confusing! I saw a whingy thread complaining about people asking if they were pregnant and how it should be in conception, not pregnancy and unil the op poas she wouldn't know. I was like blooming heck, our raison d'etre is 'am I pregnant?' If I was worried, confused and alone it would make me so sad to get back "piss on a stick, the Internet can't tell you!"

I've never been worse Starky, but in the best possible way! Morning sickness is proving a killer - no actual sickness but constant all day nausea with no appetite or desire to drink anything. It's awful but I'm just thinking of the reward we get in the end.

Baby is currently the size of a raspberry (I'm 8+2 today).

We are ready and waiting with open arms to welcome you all to the grass board when the time comes.

Also, how can people not like this thread?! Some of the other threads are so boring. There's nothing like a good CM chat to brighten the day!

*grad board, not grass board!

And the acronyms! When I first saw 'cycle #4 cd23, 11 dpo, opk positive at cd16, ewcm, not poas, 3 days till af I was like "we'll that's clearly some kind of mathematical bollocks!"

Aww that's lovely pink and yes, at the end of all this sickness and feeling gross you get the best present! Your very own pooing, farting bouncing littLe bundle of vomit and gorgeousness! 8+2! That's amazing! I'm so jealous but in a genuinely pleased for you way!

mileymoo sorry I don't know what fmu is have googled to no avail.

If it's which test I used then it was first response early response x

pinklily size of a raspberry congratulations!

jem it's first morning urine - the best type for a pregnancy pissy stick

Hi pink!!! Aw 8 weeks already!! Have you told anyone yet? Other than DH of course

Hey Jem, it's just first morning urine - first wee of the day best for poas if pg testing, but not opk testing.

Slight cramps yesterday and the day before yesterday. 8dpo. Hoping beyond hope that it doesn't mean af will turn up soon now as that would be very soon, and mean a luteal phase that's just way too short. Or I just have random cramps ...

Thanks mileymoo and irregular I had no idea about that. I think I'm going to wait until Thursday when AF is due and maybe I'll do a fmu test then

Kat well done re gym, and ouch! Can you cope with lifting chocolate to your face? Might seem counterproductive but is probably medicinal in this case. I did an abs blast on weds and have been sore and twingy since. Obv am overanalysing and interpreting these as symptoms. Sigh.

ever it's a fine balance isn't it between optimising our chances & going ott! I keep being warned by sis to chill out

kat how dare people leave this group - it's the best group ever ... They'll be back!

ni I may give preseed a go. The conceive plus was in an applicator & was just too much, DH couldn't feel a thing .

snow are you making any other changes other than soy date? Makes sense to bring it forward. Fx!
