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?

Eeeeee!! Congrats Lisa that's a big old line you have there!! StarGrin

Confused I am so impressed at your patience!! I would be frantically poas because I have no willpower

Sit rep from long cycle hq. Lots of brownish cm this morning and stabby pain in lower left abdomen. Think AF is finally on her way on cd 65. If so, means I will definitely miss the Feb/fab bus, and possibly the March bus as well my bus has no wheels. But can I stick around for the ride??

ElleSarcasmo · 29/01/2016 08:03

Kat can you put me down for 24 Feb test when you are updating next? Are you and your DH in the same field? Hope the conference goes well 😊

Feefeefs · 29/01/2016 08:02

Lovely line lisathegreek how exciting!

LisaTheGreek · 29/01/2016 08:01

Thank you gorgeous people!

Kat - you stats and %s are wonderful (Stats with Kats!)

Holly - I think I had no symptoms. Zilch. Nada. If I tried really hard I could probably say something, but it would be such a stretch. The truth is I've felt completely normal - no sore boobs, no extra CM, no extra tiredness, nothing.

Sorry, that's probably not very helpful and not what you wanted to hear :(

ElleSarcasmo · 29/01/2016 08:00

Twinkydink that's dedication!

Starky I recommend temping if you will remember to do it-it means that I am fairly sure which day I ovulated whereas hadn't realised which was the positive OPK until Kat posted here. Still learning here! At least we will be together for ovulation this month which should improve our chances!

ElleSarcasmo · 29/01/2016 07:57

Congratulations Lisa! That's a beauty! So pleased for you! Flowers Flowers Flowers Flowers 😃

Pugmummy87 · 29/01/2016 07:51

Definitely a line there Lisa, congrats!

Ovia has changed my fertile week based on the opk result, so now it says I'm the 5th day of my fw. Ffs, at least we managed to dtd Tuesday evening, stupid bleeding cervix meant I didn't feel like it last night. Definitely going to have to try later as at least the bleeding is subsiding.

FF has brought it forward by 2 days, now says fw starts today. Just gonna have to keep at it like rabbits I think lol.

Holly300 · 29/01/2016 07:48

Lisa what symptoms were you having?

KatOnATinRo0f · 29/01/2016 07:47

KatOnATinRo0f · 29/01/2016 07:46

LisaTheGreek · 29/01/2016 07:41

Thank you everyone, you're so sweet!

Ok, I will believe it's real then! (Though I might also test again tomorrow morning.... And the morning after that....)

Eeek!

Kathrino · 29/01/2016 07:35

Totally and definitely a line Lisa! Congratulations!!!

Chocaholic88 · 29/01/2016 07:34

Congratulations lisa 💐💐💐🎉🎉🎉

IrregularCommentary · 29/01/2016 07:34

Great big line Lisa!! Congratulations Flowers

Chocaholic88 · 29/01/2016 07:33

lisa that's definitely a line there lady!!!!

LisaTheGreek · 29/01/2016 07:28

Ok, so....I caved. I have no excuse, nothing in my defence (except that I'm late according to Ovia, but we know that bitch lies and FF says I'm not due until Sunday).

What I don't know though is - is the line too faint? I feel like I've seen so many other people's tests, but when it comes to mine I just don't believe it. Is this real or too faint?

Good morning guys!!! I haven't properly caught up on yesterday evenings frolics of activity yet but am off with DH to a super exciting work related conference + black tie dinner thing next 2 days so I might not be able to keep up! (I will try my best!) Am posting THE LIST again for now I think it is up to date unless any witch ones happened yesterday that I didn't spot.

We've had so much good luck in January really!! How many BFPs in jan in total?? I can remember 6 from jan, there might be more! Bellini/irregular/miley/Choc/lauren/leonie.
This might make a more accurate statistic- %of us who have become pregnant in 1 month which is probably riding at about 10-12% (not calculated) which if average is 20% for under 30? We may have a couple in the "over 30 but not looking a day over 21 bracket" and many other factors (like my DH being a grump during ovulation so we didn't dtd enough) meaning that's not too shabby...

January:
Confused - 29th ???????
Sea - 31st
Cthulhoo - 31st
Knightly - 30th
Lisathegreek - end jan
Holly - 30th
First -

February:
Miw - 1st
Harriet- 3rd feb
Feel - 3rd
Indi - 5th
evergreen -5th
co5mo - 6th
Littlebelle - 6th
Moggy - 6th
Kat - 7th
Kathrino - 7th
FXSkip - 8th
Ni - 9th
Snow - 14th
Twinkly - 15th
Dubya - 16th
Pug - 16th
Lara - 19th
Zazzles - 20th
Suchajem - 23rd

confused I didn't test with fmu 😉 it said on the test packet that you should only use fmu if you're testing early and can use and wee when testing when the with is late.

Oh the 29th, how wonderful. Hopefully there will be lots of testers getting bfp's today!

I woke up at half 3 feeling like I needed to fart. Dunno if it was trapped wind or my uterus stretching but I let out a beauty on DP'S knee when he came in for a cuddle. he did get me back about 5 mins later though then proceed to tell me he must be pregnant too

Pugmummy87 · 29/01/2016 06:48

StarkI know! I had a cold last month during my fertile week and ovia said that was my top symptom that month hahaha. No Ovia, I just happened to be ill!

Strangely though, took temp this morning and it's a big drop from normal, also did a clear blue dual hormone opk (got them from.amazon, low fertility yesterday on my first one, but apparently it works out a baseline and so it always is low the first time you use it) with fmu and it says peak fertility! Hmmmm.

Best go jump DH then I guess!

stardusty5 · 29/01/2016 06:47

Morning all, good luck to all poasers!
