Womb-stalking is totally a thing, not saying it's a normal thing, but 'tis indeed a thing :)

Oggy88 · 17/11/2016 14:55

Hahaha! Oh, gosh, poor animals Grin My German shepherds would be so grumpy about this... not even to mention my poor back!

Oggy88 · 17/11/2016 14:57

Quite cheap, though! Hmm

FlaminFlamingo99 · 17/11/2016 15:41

Ooh excellent find MrsCummings!! I am very tempted just to see the look on the trainers face!!!

Oggy yes I'd struggle with my lab so a GSD would be even more tricky - I'm not sure I'd manage to get all four legs in the right holes at the same time Confused!!!

DrRBanner Sorry ur Oh is away at the crucial moment... Did you dtd in the run up at all? Is he back soon?

Jellybabie3 · 17/11/2016 15:46

Very excited that we get to start trying now Smile

DrRBannerx · 17/11/2016 15:50

flamingo this morning at 5am and he's back tomorrow evening.
Hoping this is still our month x

FlaminFlamingo99 · 17/11/2016 16:07

DrRBanner It could be as ur egg will be released at some point over the next 48 hours. Jump him when he gets home! Wink you are definitely not out yet!

MrsG280516 · 17/11/2016 16:07

jellybabie if today is your CD1 then you probably won't ovulate until CD12-14 which will be 28th-30th. Are you using an app? As you've just recorded a 21 day "cycle" then the app will predict based on that but in reality you haven't had a 21 day cycle, just a 21 day break before your first AF. Does that make sense?

Jellybabie3 · 17/11/2016 16:21

MrsG -you are right, my app has predicted 'medium chance' of pregnancy until the 28th to 1st december where it is recorded as high chance. You can tell i have no idea what im doing! First bleed since 2004 i think...hurts like hell (thats why i went on the pill) but happy as larry right now as i know others have waited a long time for anything to happen. Thanks for you comment Smile

MrsCummings · 17/11/2016 16:22

I am always very skilled at the old google... especially when procrastinating at work :)

The Trainers face would be beautiful... your Chiropractor however :)

MrsG280516 · 17/11/2016 16:26

No problem. Yes, only 3 weeks from coming off the pill is very good going. Best of luck!

DrRBannerx · 17/11/2016 17:21

flamingflamingo I will do just that Grin x

MrsCummings · 17/11/2016 17:37

Once this bloating crap starts is it too late/pointless to DTD? totally should have paid attention in sex education! Was clearly too busy figuring how not to get knocked up Wink

FlaminFlamingo99 · 17/11/2016 17:45

I'm not sure, do you know when you ovulated? I mean generally it's always worth a go if you feel like it... Grin it wouldn't do any harm anyway!!

Oggy88 · 17/11/2016 17:48

True that. They tell you all your life to be careful about it, but no one ever mentioned how hard it can get! I know many people who would've started ttcing much sooner had they known how long it can take!

MrsCummings · 17/11/2016 18:03

I think I am now... i think it's causing the bloatedness as AF not due till 1st and got positive (ish) OPK on Monday at midnight... DTD Saturday (warm up) had sun/mon off as was drunk then V hungover then DTD Tues and worked late last night so missed it...

Would rather do anything than get bounced around tonight Grin as feeling a whale sized hot mess but if I'm still in the zone then I shall dutifully read a couple of chapters of Fifty and get my groove on

FlaminFlamingo99 · 17/11/2016 18:14

MrsCummings Oh The things we have to go through just For A BFP! If You Can Be Persuaded TheN DTD Wink But I Wouldnt Worry too Much As im Sure I Have Read Somewhere That YoUr Libido increases When You Are Fertile So if Ur Bloated And Really Not Feeling It Then you May Have Have Gone Passed The Critical Day(s) ?

Sorry About All The Capitals My Phone Has Gone Rather Strange! Confused

FlaminFlamingo99 · 17/11/2016 18:15

Hi Furo - Our PoSts crossed! Smile

MrsCummings · 17/11/2016 18:18

Yes, I read I was supposed to be happy too... possibly more homicidal in all reality Grin

Shall see what the evening brings then, having a float around in the bath so if DH offers up a brew and a back wash I may just force a quickie Wink

Tigger83 · 17/11/2016 18:39

Hi all can I jump on even though not ttc until Jan Shock

Waiting for first proper af after coming off pill although ovulated bang on track for fx!!
Cd 22
Age 33

We're waiting till Jan so we can have 3 months of preconception vitamins done and get a couple of normal cycles under my belt! So excited and a bit nervous!!

Coming off the pill has been emotional! Have been on the pill since I was 18 to keep endo at bay (which has been massively successful last op showed tiny bit round bowel but no where near baby making bits!!) and when I had my scan (I'd come off my pill for a month at that time for the scan) they actually captured me releasing 2 eggs and as my mum is a non identical twin who knows!!

I've had really really sore boobs which I'd completely forgotten about and cry at the drop of a hat! Even at the one show!! I feel much more aware of me and my body which is weird and using opk (but not obsessively) and Ovia app.

So good luck everyone and looking forward to hearing lots of positives over Christmas xxx

minime2016 · 17/11/2016 18:45

Evening all, hope everyone is well. Currently around 4/5 dpo and trying not to obsess over every little potential symptom. Yesterday had a bit of a dizzy spell and stabby boob pain. Today I've had pinchy back and lower abdomen pains. The tops of my boobs are notable achy and I've had a rotten metal taste in my mouth. Now, as much as I'd love to think these were bfp symptoms, my rational side knows my back is sore from exercise, my mouth has a weird taste because I have a sore throat and my boobs are just achy Grin still ages til test time...the 2ww is a complete nightmare

Bows85 · 17/11/2016 19:09

Wow Tigger, that must have been exciting to hear about you releasing two eggs! My maternal Grandmother is a non-identical twin so it's something I have thought about too...scary!
My AF is pretty much finished today so DH and I can finally start the ball rolling Confused He's very much looking forward to it despite me telling him DTD tomorrow is highly unlikely to get me pregnant. Think he's wanting to get a lot of "practice" in for when the FW arrives Grin
