Thread 8, TTC #1. Change my FW one more time Ovia, I dare you! TMI Warning throughout.

[StarkyTheDirewolf]

Symptom spotters, tww - ers, slightly hysterical hormone laden ladies! Regs, lurkers, intermittent posters! Our raison d'etre is 'am I pregnant?' Depending on how much Ovia (Whybird) has pissed us off/messed with our fw she is either the oracle or a sanctimonious charlatan.

Just a warning, we move FAST! Our threads last on average, about a week before they're full.

Thread 8 , 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, stories about cervical mucus, pooing, cysts and nausea equally welcome. Although normal conversation is also encouraged.

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

We like acronyms, we make some up: PET = Proper expensive test. We love the d(h)...which can of course mean 'dearest' or 'dickhead' why, what were you thinking?

Romantic and practical Starky!

Kathrino I think that was in Expecting Better? I think the rationale was that it had to be fertilised in the Fallopian tube to implant correctly?

Ah well, who knows what is going on. Assuming I am even producing eggs that know where to go, and OH has sperm that can swim/have sense of direction, we managed to DTD prior to and on the day of OV so I've done my best.

I'm imagining Starky's DH saying 'off with the panties' and Starky being like 'ok, but first I have to tell the girls'

Have fun Starky (and Starky's DH )

fx you're joking, but thats fairly accurate! "I'm just going to turn the oven on and pop your dinner in, stay there!" And then came to update yous! He's off to work in an hour so we have to fit it in between his shifts! Depending on opk tomorrow will probably have another couple of tries over the weekend! Tell you what though, he's been in a much better mood since I decided every other day all month dtd was the plan! Should have dtd yesterday but didn't get chance!

Sooooo many bfps over the past couple of days!!! It's madness! Brilliant madness! Congrats to you all

I got 9 days to go before I'm out/will allow myself to test ... Nada symptoms! It's much easier to get on with normal life without anything to symptom spot though so that's a bonus!

Today Oviabitch is telling me to eat blueberries and poke my cervix

Congratulations to the new BFPs! What great news!

I've just ordered a pack of ics today so hopefully theyll be here soon. Should stop me getting a supermarket one tomorrow anyway.

Now starting to wonder in case my three day spotting was ovulation, as it was at the end of my fertile window and i had run out of OPKS. DTD on the first day of spotting but not after that. Fx!

Stark, your DH sounds awesome!

Hope it all goes well!

starky I totally read your post wrong just now - I initially thought you said get your legs open ladies!! 😂😂

By the way we have similar conversations

Me - I'm ovulating tomorrow wahoo
DH - errr?
Me - get your c0ck out turn
DH -
Me - I'm waiting

*then

Is it sad that I got ridiculously excited about seeing ewcm this afternoon? I've never had it before whilst ttc.
Hoping the success of this thread rubs off on me.

DH is out tonight and I've just got in from work. He says he is going to buy me some Cinnapie from Papa John's so I've told him I know just how to thank him later!

Hahaha @ the DTD chat.

We are back in the saddle this weekend, as its fw next week I think. I'm aiming for DTD every other day and then every day for 2-3 days when egg is most likely cruising by.

Better shave the old legs tonight...

Hello to all today's newbies

Does anyone know how I can change my length of cycle on Ovia? Probably get a more accurate reading..

OK ladies I have had a weird day.
Woke up - late - tired out but that's the norm on Friday. Ovia said test to day and I was going to anyway so had a quick POAS (just an internet cheapie) and I think there was a VERY faint line. DH thought so too but it was super super faint so neither of us are quite sure if we really saw it. Tried not to get excited whilst squealing a little bit. My happiness was soon quashed by cramps from about 9 until 1. Felt EXACTLY like AF is on her way. And my boobs are still super painful.

Between possible line if I squinted and held it to the light, AF cramps and sore boobs, I'm not sure what to think....????

ipatches Do you have a pic?? We could have a squint for you xxc

lauren I don't have a photo After routing through the bin I don't think I can see it now, the light is all different. Will definitely be trying again tomorrow.

Nothing going on here no symptoms to spot bar mind numbing tiredness. Having a prosecco tonight and watching Mr Selfridge(had to catch up on last weeks) exciting times

That sounds promisin ipatches! Hope this is another BFP!

Banarma, my cycle length has adjusted over time, but i've been entering it for over a year now before i started TTC

I think you can alter it though in settings?

Sooo.....For future cycles the takeaway is when you get the temp dip, DTD ASAP, and also when you get +ve OPK, then DTD thereafter for fun/2% chance....I like a good lessons learned debrief.

Banarma You can definitely change it, but Ovia changes your FW based on what you tell her anyway, so BEWARE!

Star I have all my fx and toes too!

ipatches fx for you - let us know 🙌

Fx I got positive opk Sat, dtd Sunday and then temps later confirmed that I ovulated Monday. The timing varies for everyone, and for each cycle potentially! couldnt just be straight forward and easy! So basically when you see that positive opk dtd every day, or every second day to flood those tubes with swimmers and that's the best you can do seeing as we can't predict when egg will be released or how long it'll hang around! #notanexactscience

Ugh. Just had a 'discussion' with DH about whether to transfer a lump of our savings to overpay the mortgage. Obviously that's better in the long run as interest rates are so low on savings but I think ready access to our savings is more important at the moment especially if/when I go on maternity leave. DH seems to be in complete denial about TTC though - he actually said that after we go on holiday in April, we 'won't be doing anything big this year'. I'm not sure if he just hasn't put two and two together yet and/or just hasn't got his head round what might happen but it doesn't make me feel like he's particularly overwhelmed by the whole thing.

ipatches, keep everything crossed for tomorrow!!

Fx ipatches

I've checked the settings star and ipatches FW has moved!! But also my testing day which is now 1 day which means Tomorrow!!!!
