    I tried to take pregnacare but had quite bad stomach pain and constipation, so switched to sanatogen. Thought I'd mention if anyone else was seeing any symptoms :)

    Morning everyone. Hope everyone has a lovely relaxing weekend planned. It'll be a quiet one here. I'm off work next week so plenty of time to put my feet up :)

    Newthrift, here's my FF link if you could link to my name. I think this is the right link
    My Ovulation Chart

    Ps. Ignore the CD date. I added a false period day on 1st Sept to create something to work with.

    athens possibly the emotion is coming more to the forefront if it is coming up to an anniversary. Hugs to you xx I want to say try to enjoy the BD'ing and not place too much pressure on it but that is so much easier said than done. I know its so frustrating xx

    I've been reading a book called the Fertility Diet and that is based around chinese medicine and i've been trying bits from it. Defiantly worth a read if it is something that you are interested in.

  • Morning everyone. At 15DPO and with all the excitement of it being a weekend I am really struggling with not testing. AF should arrive today according to Ovia but no signs yet... got increased CM like Rachy but no sore boobs or anything. Although I'be never had (or at least noticed) PMS so I don't know if that means I'm just less likely to get symptoms in general?

    I'm literally writing this post right now as it's all I can do not to test. Just want to know one way or the other! Don't mind the result at this stage - it's the not knowing that's killing me!

  • Also, I went out last night for a friend's birthday (without OH) and was chatting quietly to one of my best friends who was also there about our TTC (as my close group of friends know that we were keen to get on with things soon after marriage). Do you guys confide in your friends IRL? I know people don't tend to announce until the first scan but do you have a few people about from OH that you chat to? I know when I do fall I'll be able now to keep it from that friend at the very least as she's massively on the lookout for alcohol consumption etc! But I don't think I mind... how do you choose who to confide in? If I did have something go wrong etc I know she would be supportive. Tricky one! I feel for me it'll be so tough keeping it a secret!

    Hey snowscreamer - just delurking to say I told one friend at 10 weeks and another at 12 but before the scan. Other than that I waited until scan and blood results, but then only 2 or 3 people knew we were TTC anyway.

    A few of my friends did guess anyway though, mainly because I massively cut down my exercising :)

    Hey snowscreamer, everyone is different. I didn't tell anyone we were ttc our first even at 18months of trying and never told anyone until we were 12 weeks and had been to our scan. We'd even had a scan at 8w and knew everyone was fine at 8w.

    Friends have told us they were ttc and some also about the struggles they had had or were having. My sil announced to family at 5 weeks so it's all up to you. Do what's comfortable and if u do confide in someone, do let them know if they are the only one you've spoken to, so they know not to share with other mutual friends :)
