January TTC-ers

Awe Disney! I think it says a lot about you that you admitted to testing early and feeling bad about it. I'm sorry about your test but I hope you still get your bfp. Don't give up.

MummyKP, only a couple more days now! I'm rooting for you ladies!
 
Aww Disney, you're not out yet. I'm keeping my fingers firmly crossed for you.

Mummy KP, Not long until your testing now. How are you holding up? Managing to resist all temptation??

I know I'm not testing until mid February but I just don't feel like this is the month for me which is a little upsetting. That being said I didn't even think I would be in this position yet and next month we'll have the change to DTD a lot more around O as trying won't be a surprise.
 
Aww Disney I am sorry about your bfn, but you're right about the situation not being ideal for testing. I'm sure you're not the first or last woman who caved and tested early so don't feel bad about it, fx you get your bfp on friday! And yes I am still hanging here, just working overtime at the minute which has a bad habit of using up all my b&b forum time!! :haha:

MummyKP I am still so excited for you and Disney to test together, I'm loving reading up on your posts :D

Lynanne, it must be upsetting that ttc started for you right around O so you couldn't plan as well for your first TWW, but you have a chance this cycle and we will be here rooting for you!

AF has been odd for me. Monday it was really heavy, which is not normal for my first day, and then Tuesday there was barely any flow at all... seems a bit backwards to me! Still not feeling bloated or anything as well. Today has been heavier but not anywhere near as heavy as it should be for cd3. Might just be my body adjusting to being bc-free??

Anyway, I am preparing myself for the next TWW at the end of Feb. Bought some more frers and
30 internet cheapies to help curb my poas addiction :haha:


take care ladies xx
 
Aw Disney there's really no need to apologise, honestly! I,Morris you got a bfn, but it's still early so fx for you on Friday. My AF is actually due on saturday so I'm worried that day before is too early haha but I'm still gunna do it Friday morning. I bought a frer & a super drug one as I've heard they are just as sensitive as a frer? Not sure which one to use on Friday tbh....any opinions? Don't give up hope just yet disney!

LynAnne, my DH was the same last month. He decided two days after O that he didn't want to prevent anymore lol so that was really annoying but he didn't know bless him! Lol.

I don't know why but the closer I get to Friday the more I think I'm out :/ not sure why! Nerves are kicking in now, I know I'll be devastated when I see that bfn.

Lozzie it's nice to have you still around, my last cycle was like that too, very odd for me to be as light as I was. Fx for you this cycle!!

Mrs Gj how're you feeling? Xx
 
I've also heard that superdrugs are as good as frers,but if it were me testing as close to af due date I would use a frer, just because you can be pretty certain that whatever the result, chances are that it will be right. Good luck mummykp xx
 
Yeah that's what I thought too, thanks Lozzie. I think I'll use the frer Friday morning and if still no AF by Monday I'll try the super drug just in case lol. But I imagine whatever the result the frer will be accurate Friday mornjng. Can save the super drug for next month! Ahhhh I sort of wish it was tomorrow morning, but the other half of me is glad it's not lol xx
 
Thanks Mrs. GJ, don't worry about me though ... how are YOU doing though? Im sure you are still on Cloud 9 !! When is your appt again??

LynAnne - thanks for the finger crossing support lol! MY fingers are firmly crossed for you too!!! I know what you mean in feeling like this may not be your month... I thougt I did EVERYTHING right but not too sure ... we BOTH still have some time to go though .. FX FX FX

Lozzie - glad to hear you are doing well. I am probably going to be joining you soon so I'm SO happy to have you as a buddy to go through it with!! :) lol yes work ALWAYS either keeps me busy or I sneak away and come on here haha!! Is your AF a DEF AF? Sounds like u are unsure. Should u test again?

Mummkp - So sorry again for caving ugh ... SO not worth it lol. SO happy to test again with you on Friday!! I know what you mean about feeling like this might not be the month. I think a lot of that is just fear of a BFN though. We are both still in this!! FX this is our month!! BTW I just looked at what I bought and it was an "Up and Up brand from Target". I never use this brand before and also didn't realize they were blue tests ugh ... anyways I have 2 left now and will just use them up this cycle, next starting on Friday with you. I'm not OVERLY good at "picking" a test brand so I would go with what Lozzie suggested. I think it sounds like either one is good for now until u do a dig.

As for me .... I am going to copy and paste my post from another thread onto here so I can give you guys an update from what just happened tonight ...
 
I haven't really been having anything on my underwear for CM (as I don't check internally I just look on my underwear so thats all I know). JUST now though I pee'd and then wiped and I had EWCM with a slight slight SLIGHT tinge of pink. If I didn't "inspect" it I probably wouldn't have even noticed. I'm a little confused by this and DEF a little nervous as I know this could mean AF is coming. I also had more bloating, touch of cramping (or something else not quite cramping that I can't describe) and some lower back achiness. Paired with my out of control moods I'm sure AF is on her way but I'm NOT counting myself out until she is here in FULL form. I also STRANGELY had some Right hip pain today (no fall, no shoveling lately, VERY strange). My temps are still good so maybe this is Late Implantation??
I played with my bbt chart and changed it to "OPK" instead of "advanced (recommended) and it put me at CD 11 instead of CD12. I changed it back to what I had it at "advanced recommended" now but that was interesting. I don't really know why the OPK one would be different. Anyways ... we shall see what happens. Today is CD 29 for me and I have had irregular cycles so this would be VERY interesting if AF came soon (but I guess a good sign too that my periods are coming more regularly, NOT that I want AF to come though lol).

... going to try and stay busy and see what tomorrow brings .. I hope for temp spike and NO AF !!! Trying to prepare myself just in case though ... FX!!!!!
 
Disney-Soooo hoping it's implantation for you. If AF doesn't come, and that was implantation bleeding, it still might take a few days to show up on a test as your levels need to build up. Still test on Friday if no AF just don't get too down. You aren't out till she comes and hopefully she stays far far away. FxFxFx!

Mummy KP- Frer is definitely the way to go. I understand the negativity and assuming it was going to be negative. If you remember, I SWORE I missed my opportunity and then when it came time to test I was petrified it was going to tell me I was crazy.

I really really want BFP for you both so here's to fingers crossed!

Lozzie- I'm glad BC didn't seem to have messed up your cycle. Hope AF goes by quickly so you can move on to the most fun part of TTC. I still plan on stalking you.. Hope you don't mind :)

LynneAnne- both Mummy KP and I started in the middle of a cycle. Drove us both nuts! My best advice it's try not to think about it this month and just have fun. Otherwise you will just drive yourself crazy. Either way good luck to you and your journey.

As for me- I am doing well. I'm not on cloud 9 every day but I was yesterday. We are also in the middle if trying to be approved for a home loan and while it's not approved yet, it looks like it Erik go through! We will have a stable HOME and won't be moving anytime soon if it good through which is just amazing to me. My husband is ex military and I was a military brat so the sorry of my life is moving I love the idea that I can fully settle in with no fear of moving and losing touch with friends. PLUS we will have plenty of room for us and our growing family, our golden retriever and we can now get the puppy version of a little brother or sister for our furbaby as well. Things feel like they are falling into place. As far as symptoms go: I had morning sickness (feeling hungover without drinking anything), mood swings and crying all the time, and tossing and turning at night (didn't know that was a symptom) and slight cramping. Since then, I no longer have morning sickness but I am hungry a lot and if I don't eat right away, I feel nauseous. Still mild cramps not as bad as AF more a dull awareness kind if like the feeling I got right before AF started. I wake up at 2am almost every night, unless I go to bed after 2am. Lady night, I woke at midnight and didn't Dahl back asleep until 330 which was the time I was supposed to wake up. Nice thing is I wake up feeling rested usually, bad thing is on days I work nights, that's a longggg day. And my boobs now hurt. Some days if I don't touch they are fine. Some days just a shift in bed while braless makes me very aware of my achey boobs. For the most part my mods have give back to mostly normal but I still have my days..


Ok. Shower time before I'm late to work.. Hugs ladies.
 
Ohhh.. And my first appointment and U/S to make sure all is well with bub is Feb 18!
 
Oh Disney, I really really hope that it's not the start of AF for you, fx fx fx and fx again

MummyKP how are you feeling about tomorrow?? I know I will be here checking for both yours and Disneys results in the morning, rooting for you both!

Glad you are well Mrs.Gj and feel free to stalk away. I have loved that yourself and the other ladies have been here on this journey with me, and I hope your appointment goes well and you have a healthy and happy little bean :D

xx
 
Disney have you had any other signs of AF yet? Fx she won't show....EWCM sounds promising! I had it on the toilet paper for three or four days running last week.

Mrs Gj everything sounds like it's falling into place perfectly for you, how amazing!! Hope you get the house sorted....must be lovely thinking of having a stable home where you aren't moving all the time with military! I hope your U.S goes well, please keep us posted :)

Still no sign of AF today although felt a little wet down there earlier almost like I had come on, but I hadn't so who knows?! Mixed emotions about tomorrow....excited but nervous at the same time in case I get a bfn....that will really bother my mood, but if that's what I get then onto the next cycle with you :) I keep telling myself this is first time trying etc, and it's not very often people get it first month so I shouldn't worry if it is a bfn....but I know what I'm like! Lol. I keep hoping it'll be a BFP but ive prepared myself for otherwise. I really can't tell what it'll be.....these symptoms have made me think yes but other times I tell myself no. The symptoms have eased the past few days, apart from the back ache and cold, & odd cramping. Nothing was as bad as last weeks cramping!
 
BFN for me this morning. Guessing I'm out as would've thought it would show up a day before expected period. Will see what the weekend brings, have one more test here I may save for Monday if still no AF, but thinking she'll show over the weekend! Thinking of you Disney xx
 
Aww i'm sorry mummykp, I really thought you'd get a bfp today :hugs:

xx
 
Awe! I'm sorry MummyKP. I also thought you would get your BFP. How are you holding up with the news?

And thank you for the well wishes ladies.
 
MummyKP - I'm sorry to hear that! I was really rooting for a BFP for you!

Lozzielaula - It has been a bit frustrating that we didn't really get to properly plan around O this month but you're right, there is a chance - even if I don't feel that way. DH just didn't know exactly when I would have O'd he just decided on the spot! Plus, there's always next month if this one doesn't happen.

disney - I suppose I did all I could with DTD twice around O especially with the short notice but I just don't think it'll be this month. Still, I've got a long way to go before I rule myself out. This has been the slowest week ever!
 
Any news yet Disney?? xx


Lynanne, we're all here to keep you company, my first TWW was so excrutiatingly loooong! Will be rooting for you to get that bfp this cycle but we can also keep eachother company next cycle if this one doesnt happen for you :hugs:

As for me, AF is almost over and has been very light. Hoping that isnt a sign of anything wrong, but just a wonky 1st non-bc bleed lol. my OH has also shown that he is pretty clueless about how this whole process works, he didnt evwn know what I meant when I told him I would next O on valentines day!! So I bought him a book called 'Pregnancy for men: the whole 9 months' and it is such a funny book. Written by a man for men, so i'm hoping he'll be able to clue himself up about TTC and the pregnancy. So far only I have actually read any of the book though.... :haha:

xx
 
Lozzielaula - Thanks! No one knows were are TTC so it's driving me crazy that I can't talk to anyone about it. Thank goodness for you ladies! That sounds like an ideal book for my DH. Bless him, I keep explaining things about my cycle and pregnancy in general and he's just clueless.
 
We're in the same boat, noone knows we're trying either and I think I am driving OH mad talking about it with him :haha: so I am glad I have these forums to talk to other like-minded people :D xx
 
Disney, are you ok? You haven't posted today. Hoping all is well with you..
