Thread 11 TTC#1. Let the fertile games begin! May the eggs be ever in your favour!

[StarkyTheDirewolf]

Symptom spotters, tww - ers, slightly hysterical hormone laden ladies! Regs, lurkers, intermittent posters! Our raison d'etre is 'am I pregnant?'

Thread 11. Welcome one and all!
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.

Post your stats and add your dates. We have a register thanks to kats stats I have been dubbed the resident piss stick queen and if you don't test, you get a Starky's Star 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

Congrats becky and choc ! lovely news!!!

Jem - sorry you're out
Choc congratulations

After 3 days of positive OPK tests, I got a negative today. Which I guess is a relief...?!?!

Congrats becky lovely news

Lovely pic of chocchip ☺️
Good luck snow that's sounds so stressful but really exciting.

elle finally had a run this evening and feel soooo good for it ! Screw you period pain!

patch ☺️ You've finally stopped ovulating / your ovaries must be ready for a rest now. Fx for a sticky one for you.

Hahahahha as if I got it right! I never win anything! (Completely ignoring the fact that I think I thought it was 7+5 at least 3 weeks ago!

Crazy isn't it? I was like errrr how to you explain my morning sickness which is now non existent unless I am hungry, my slobbery basset hound mouth, my boobs being 2 cup sizes bigger for the last 6 weeks at least, plus 4, FOUR bfp around 27th December?!

Hey ho! I'm not complaining :)

Feeling a bit pissed off today. Didnt manage to dtd yesterday as dh got called into work unexpectedly. I think that was ov day as it was second positive opk. We dtd twice the day before, but dh was fairly hungover so sperm quality probs wasn't great.

OPK back to negative now so counting this as 1 dpo.

Really annoyed we didn't manage it and suspect thats the whole month wasted now.

Jem we discussed the wee after dtd before and agree that wee is a must or you can het a nasty UTI (I am sure lay down for 5 minutes is ok though)

feefs I've been told that a few times which does make it easier thinking it's because it's super healthy!

Thanks for the well wishes, guys. I have hyperemesis which isn't all that common. Good news is it usually starts to die down around 10 weeks so I should feel better. 3 weeks off work though. Wtf do I do?!

becky wonderful news! Come over to our new grads thread and join us.

ipatches great you've got a neg! FX you caught the egg(s?) On the topic of twins, who has a chance of them? They run in both sides of our families

choc I am so happy for you... You deserve it so much after everything you went through on your way to your bfp!

miley my friend wrote a blog on her experiences with hyperemesis if you are interested in checking it out on your time off.

Hope you feel better soon!

Thanks bluebird. That title couldn't be any more true 😂 ginger biscuits do not work. I'll give it a read now whilst OH tries to force more food into me.

star stay positive hon if you DTD twice the day before you ov that sounds like perfect timing. I'm sure being hungover won't hold his little guys back too much. Try and relax for the TWW as much as you can.

miley a good friend of mine had hyperemesis and spent Christmas in hospital :( it can be so so bad. I hope it doesn't last long for you.

ever I shall bear that in mind for ISW. Apparently DH is already looking looking forward to this! In a funny way I am too, it really brought us closer last month.

Hurrah choc! I am somewhat confused by the maths too but that's nothing compared to how happy it makes me to see that cute little baby in there. Huge congrats!

Thank you everyone! Apparently it's really hard to date this early so they could move me forward a week or a few days but that still doesn't account for the initial bfps! So odd!

Don't know if it's possible to have a chemical and not bleed if you catch quickly again? Probably not but it was so odd!

Thanks again for everyone's support! Xx

Awww Choc that's fantastic news.

Congrats to those with bfps and commiserations to those who AF has arrived.

Well, I went and did a Frer this morning and surprise surprise it was a BFN. So I obviously just had a light period this month and ive no idea what caused the nausea (still getting it on and off ) feeling. Feel a bit daft for thinking i could see something, probably just a dodgy ic!

CD 6 today.

jem I looked this up as also prone to UTIs and always try to wee after dtd, basically read that all the good swimmers will be in the right place and the ones that come out when you wee you probably didn't want up there anyway (they will be the slow ones!) Survival of the fittest!

choc how lovely to get an early scan pic! Did you get to hear the heartbeat too?

Anyone else not interested in rl baby stuff anymore since ttc for several months? I used to love chatting baby stuff with pregnant mums/friends with kids but now I just try and avoid any baby related convos! I think a bit too painful/close to the bone atm

8DPO here and still burping like a mofo. Is that a symptom?!?! Think I'm just gassy .... Nice

Hey miley I'll come on over after my scan at 6 n 5. It still feels a bit soon... I hope you feel better shortly. Use the tablets if you need them.

pug sorry about bfn. Onwards and upwards to new cycle, at least it's not long now until your ISW!

star agree with jem sounds like you dtd at the right time! Isn't ov day almost too late anyway, think the run up to it is the most important from what I've read. Also didnt know you could get 'hungover sperm' is this really a thing? Try not to stress I always panic we've not dtd enough every month, but we can only do what we can do, and life gets in the way sometimes

Ohh huge congrats lesbecky ! Nearly missed your news! Hope all goes well for you, don't think it matters how much you post on here, bfp news is always welcome!

Congratulations Choc! That is a beautiful little cocoa bean there!

Congrats too Becky!

I'm out too Jem, AF rolled up in her red limo of doom this morning (to borrow a phrase from Snow). Had a really busy day too. My hair is lank and I've got spotty cheeks! Lovely! Roll on cycle 5!

Oh Miley you poor love! Hope you've got lots of crap films to watch and some cosy pyjamas!

moggy no but it was flickering away as clear as day :) really reassuring to see

You'll do nothing but rest miley!!

Sorry about bfn pug and sorry about AF elle. Join me on the vino. I'm just a light weight now.

moggy I don't mind rl baby chat - quite like feeling like its something that could be part of my life soon. To be honest I don't have that much though - if it was in my face all the time it might bother me more.

Congratulations on little bean with heart ticking away Choc !! Let's hope dates become clearer next time she has her photo taken!
