Symptom spotters, tww - ers, slightly hysterical hormone laden ladies! Regs, lurkers, intermittent posters! Our raison d'etre is 'am I pregnant?' Depending on how much Ovia (Whybird) has pissed us off/messed with our fw she is either the oracle or a sanctimonious charlatan.

Just a warning, we move FAST! Our threads last on average, about a week before they're full.

Thread 8 , Welcome one and all! Group of weirdos, wee hoarders, covert opk or okp, depending on what your autocorrect decides addicts with a side business in CM management!

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. Fart stories make us laugh, stories about cervical mucus, pooing, cysts and nausea equally welcome. Although normal conversation is also encouraged.

Post your stats and add your dates. We have a register thanks to kat a resident piss stick queen runner 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

We like acronyms, we make some up: PET = Proper expensive test. We love the d(h)...which can of course mean 'dearest' or 'dickhead' why, what were you thinking?

ElleSarcasmo · 29/01/2016 09:12

Yes what Choc said!

daydream86 · 29/01/2016 09:11

do you think so choc? I'm shaking here!

ElleSarcasmo · 29/01/2016 09:11

Confused you're not out yet!

Daydream I can see a faint line! Congrats! Flowers Do you have another one to do with fmu equivalent when you wake up?

Chocaholic88 · 29/01/2016 09:08

Definitely a squinted there daydream !

They call it FMU because you've held it for 7 hours etc x

ElleSarcasmo · 29/01/2016 09:07

Another one up the duff Grin Lara!

Good work Twinky!

I'd like to think you would be more likely to be successful if you temped/OPKd Zazzles and Kat, it's good to feel you're doing something positive. mostly works for me.

House hunting for us this weekend-looking at 'family' houses. Last time had a bit of a wobble 'but what if we never have a baby? 😢' I need to keep the crazy on here this time!

Chocaholic88 · 29/01/2016 09:07

It's difficult isn't it, because we all know what's 'normal' but it doesn't help when you're waiting. I've fallen ridiculously quickly and the uncertainty killed me just these few weeks.

You ladies are made of strong stuff and will all be amazing mothers, at least we all have this group! ❤

daydream86 · 29/01/2016 09:06

morning ladies! I'm a bit of a lurker here (mainly cos I can't keep up and don't really have much to report here!) however this morning I really
could do with your second opinions cos i think I'm seeing things!
just got home from night shift, cd 29 af due in 3 days, 11 dpo approx. I'm going out with the girls tonight so i thought I'd do a ic now I'm home so I don't feel guilty having a drink tonight but in shock now, I think this might Be a squinter Confused

Am I crazy? can you see it too? does it count as fmu if you haven't actually been to bed? no symptoms really, some spotting which is normal for me pre af so I'm very tentative..

Confusedcat1 · 29/01/2016 09:05

Well we can safely say af is on its way. I'm crying right now for no apparent reason. So we can expect an appearance later. Good job I didn't waste a test!

FXSkip · 29/01/2016 09:02

Sorry Kat I did debate it but couldn't think of a better way to say it! Blush

Sometimes I think going out and getting hammered all the time is the way to do it, instead of temping and pos. Then I remember all the people who say they got pg accidentally and how many are just full of sh*t and then my brain just goes round and round like this.

LaraG13 · 29/01/2016 09:00

Cthulhoo I'm so sorry to hear about your results. I hope it just means you don't ovulate every cycle, but do still ovulate, which is quite normal I believe. Or that is was just a dud cycle, which is very common. But if not, I think you should remain very hopeful that a little tweak will get those hormones up enough to get things perfect again. They have wondrous medications these days which are responsible for so many babies being born - we all know mum's who needed a bit of help to have their BFP. Please try not to get despondent and remember a lot of mums will have gone through this before. Must be very hard though 💐

KatOnATinRo0f · 29/01/2016 08:54

Anyone else hear "may the odds be ever in your favour" just then?

Zazzles i don't know if it makes any difference overalls wrt OPK and temping. You either have sex and get pregnant or you don't. All it does is maybe encourage us to have sex around the right time. Which you'd be doing anyway really wouldn't you.

Mileymoocow · 29/01/2016 08:53

Oh my god!!! lisa congratulations!!!! Head on over to the grads thread!! Wink

FXSkip · 29/01/2016 08:52

Morning everyone - congrats Lisa so exciting!!! FlowersFlowersFlowers

Cthulhoo don't forget that something like 75% of couples conceive in the first 2 years. The odds are still in your favour.

Evergreen15 · 29/01/2016 08:39

Ok. I am bloody tired of this 2ww. A part of me is wishing AF came tomorrow so I can forget about it. 8dpo Envy The land where time stays still

LisaTheGreek · 29/01/2016 08:36

Thanks everyone!

Great song Lara Grin

Cthulhoo · 29/01/2016 08:35

Ni4444 Mostly the combination of my age and us having tried unsuccessfully for half a year. My GP wasn't at all concerned but offered the blood test for reassurance ... didn't quite work! ;)

twinkydink · 29/01/2016 08:31

Wooooo hooooo lisa amazing news!!!

Hahaha Elle he woke me up at half 5 for it but it wasn't too much of a hardship Blush

LaraG13 · 29/01/2016 08:30

Wooooo lisa!! 💐 Big congrats!!!

Everytime we get a BFP I sing 'another one up the duff' to the tune of 'another one bites the dust', in my head 😊

ZazzlesTheCat2 · 29/01/2016 08:27

kat is 31.5% above average?! I know 25% is an average rate from what I've read but it must be higher for those that track, temp etc #wishfulthinking

ZazzlesTheCat2 · 29/01/2016 08:24

Wow congrats to all of the BFPs! What a super fertile bus this is!!

Fx to all those still waiting for their BFPs - next month will be our month!! :)

Pyxie · 29/01/2016 08:10

Congrats Lisa
What a great month January has been, good luck to those still left to test!

Sorry about your bus having no wheels Planeteer, I feel like my bus doesn't go over 10mph!

Evergreen15 · 29/01/2016 08:09

Planeteer I am sure you can ride the bus for free Grin
Ahhh AF is rubbish. But I do get wine when she shows Smile

Evergreen15 · 29/01/2016 08:07

Wait wait wait!! If Lisa had nada symptoms maybe I am upduffed too! Envy nope, probably not. 8dpo and 2ww sucks balls

Evergreen15 · 29/01/2016 08:05
