anyone want a ttc#1 buddy?

[Chrysalis]

Mousey chick and tick tock
Looks like all three of us are starting the 2ww together! Had my 2 lines on Weds - felt really good on Thursday - then soooo moody and tearful last night and today. Having been on the pill for most of my life I didn't know that just ovulating made you feel emotional. What with PMT as well - poor OH!!! Got some bd in Weds and last night so hope that catches it.. not really sure which exact timing is? If I got the LH surge on Weds afternoon - when would I ovulate? One more for luck tonight???? Oh so confusing!

 

[ticktock]

hiya Chrysalis, I think after your LH surge you normally ov about 12-24 hrs later so you prob ov'd today or yesterday. I normally go by a bit of twingey pain when I ov other than that its hard to tell!

 

[mouse_chicky]

ah thats sounds sweet Mouse, sometimes it can all get a bit 'mechanical' can't it lol
What anniv are you nearing?



It's our 2nd anniv. It's exciting that this is our first one ttc. Maybe this time next year, we'll have to get a babysitter.
So your emotional too Chrysalis? Fun, fun. I'm sure it'll all be worth it in the end!

I usually ov on the second day after i get my first positive, but occasionally it's the next day xx Good luck! xx

Ooo yes - hopefully you will need a babysitter! You less emotional today? I feel better now I know that it's normal - thought I was just a moody, irrational cow... and yes, it will be worth it - how on earth do people 'accidently' get pg eh?!

Thanks Dan-o x Which OPK do you use? I just use the Boots ones that you use once a day before you get the 2 lines. x The first few times the lines weren't perfectly matched but this time it was spot on so I suppose it depends how close you catch it?
Not feelin particularly lively today - just coming down with a cold

I just use the 20p ones off ebay now. I've experimented with the expensive ones in the past, but don't find there's much difference

I found when I came off birth control in 2008, it took a few cycles for my OPK's to get a decent positive, not sure if that may be the case for you?
To be honest they can still vary a bit now, last months for instance, was super dark, but this months was only just darker than the control.

The good thing about the cheapys, is you can use them twice a day until you figure out whats the best time to test. I find mid morning a good time to test personally

 

[dan-o]

I might just be over reading the signs, but I now have sore boobs/nips, cramps & general grouchiness... gotta be a good sign at 7dpo... right?

(wishful thinking, probably )

 

[mouse_chicky]

Your signs sound promising, Dan-o. Time will tell . . .Fingers crossed . . .I hope you feel better, Chrysalis. I'm a little less psycho today. Trying not to pick fights.

 

[dan-o]

Tested on a cheapy this morning... BFN

3 days to go then I'm all out of time for this cycle.. c'mon BFP!!!!

 

[ticktock]

ahhh maybe its a bit early yet dan-o, come on bfp!!! any out of the ordinary symptoms?

I'm only 5dpo so not much to report yet. Was bit crampy yesterday, almost felt like burning/tingling in lower abdomen but I expect that was my ibs being naughty lol

Yeah! Crampy & sore nips which are not normal for me.
Also sore boobs, bloated and general crankiness, which are normal for me at 9dpo either pregnant or not.
I guess I could be a day less, which would make me 8dpo & that's a bit early for testing, even for me with a shorter LP I suppose?

BFN again this morning tho

Your symptoms sound promising too, fingers crossed!

Fingers crossed for both of you x
I'm about 5dpo but nothing out of ordinary to report.

 

[mouse_chicky]

Good luck everyone! I thought I was a little nauseous this morning, but I think it was all in my head; pschological. Day 24 (?DPO.)

 

[MinneGirl]

Hi, room for another? I'm 29, and on CD 7. We are in our 5th month of TTC. We have been married for 3 years. So far I have been using Clear Blue digital (smiley face) OPK's and they work really well...well, I get a smiley face, but no pregnancy yet! I am also charting. Hoping this is my month!!

 

[dan-o]

Looks like I'm out! I've started spotting 1-2 days early, ugh!

Mouse chicky, when will you test? Sounds promising!

Hi Minnegirl, good luck! xx

 

[ticktock]

Ah no dan-o that sucks! do you normally spot?

Hiya minnie girl (would use the wave smiley but can't find it lol)

I'm 8dpo today and all my pma is gradually going down the drain. had horrible period like pains yesterday and quite sharp pains on my right side so hope af isn't gonna arrive early, not happy

Plus started getting my pre af hot flashes now and then agghhhhh thought it was my month! And to make matters worse am working with some teenage girl at work today who 'accidently' got pregnant. Grrrrrr

 

[dan-o]

Ah no dan-o that sucks! do you normally spot?

Normally my boobs deflate, then light AF starts the next day.
I never get spotting, or any type of bleeding when my boobs are still tender. Must be my body having a funny one, lol.

Oh well onto the cycle which will mark 2 years of TTC all together

Your symptoms sound good to me! I had all that when I got a BFP before!

re: your workmate... Don't you just hate these people that fall pregnant at the drop of a hat like that! Why can't it happen to us like that? lol
