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?

Holly - you sound a lot like me. I'm fed up, got a cold that's stalled in the horrid "not quite a proper cold" stage, super painful nipples (feel bruised) and feeling very bloated (yet always hungry - but I know that's nothing new!). AF isn't due for a few days but my O test was positive on just cd12 so I thought I'd test this morning, got a BFN. Feel like I'm paranoid symptom spotting - had some twinges in the pelvic area today but not sure if that's normal because I normally take a very disinterested laid back approach to monitoring my body's general condition menstrual cycle. Hopefully we will get an answer sometime soon. I'm really holding out for a BFP this month Sad

Perhaps Choc or someone can help - my boobs feel better when I wake up in the morning, but within 2-3 hours they're painful again and seem to get worse throughout the day...?

KatOnATinRo0f · 28/01/2016 18:55

I've got to 3pm and now going to greek class for 2 hours and then 40 mins drive hope I feel like I am never ever ever sings Taylor swift in head going to catch up

StarkyTheDirewolf · 28/01/2016 18:54

Tww can do no hardm to a blastocyst dusty it's not attached to a placenta yet. Enjoy your drinks!

Mango bellinis are the bollocks! My favourite is peach bellinis and I can do cassis belinni at a push! But I can't wait! I'm saving it for tomorrow night when Im done! Been a busy week! Poorly nephew all Monday, 3 funerals and trying to locate 100 oranges to make christingles! Bit only one funeral and orange sourcing to go now and then I'm getting well and truly relaxed tomorrow night! I've got daim mini eggs too! Can't wait!

Sorry to all af-ers! Onwards and upwards! And to my non testers and acolytes of anti-testing! Good on you girls! Grin

Oops sorry Kat didn't read your post properly! I'm still catching up on all the posts from today!!

Holly300 · 28/01/2016 18:50

Feeling quite down the last couple of days. Very emotional. 10dpo and have been constantly symptom spotting, which has sort of been taking over my life. Feeling quite negative today, don't know why. I've had quite a few symptoms over the past week and still have gas and tender boobs, but am convinced that they're just pms signs, even though I rarely get pms symptoms other than cramps.

I work with kids and today in the playground a boy is walking in the playground with his friend, as he walks past his younger sister he plants a kiss on her head. She then walks after him and puts her arms around him and they give each other the most gorgeous cuddle - full of sibling love. I actually nearly burst into tears - I had to compose myself very quickly! I'm such a wreck!!

Bananarma · 28/01/2016 18:48

Congratulations miley and irregular Flowers Great news!

Hmm the ovia pregnancy app... wonder if I'd even go there...

KatOnATinRo0f · 28/01/2016 18:41

No holly as in can anyone do me a summary of what I missed ( I obv spotted irregular's banging news! )

Holly300 · 28/01/2016 18:36

Yes please Kat!

stardusty5 · 28/01/2016 18:36

Mango bellinis you say? Yum!

Got a voucher for a meal out for christmas and thinking that plus a cocktail might just take my mind off tww!

Or is it bad to drink during tww Confused

Holly300 · 28/01/2016 18:34

Very exciting times Choc!

KatOnATinRo0f · 28/01/2016 18:34

Summary anyone??

Bananarma · 28/01/2016 18:34

Sorry to hear that your Af has come Impy

Also the stress of umming and Arring and teaching too. France sounds lovely and if it is something that you could make happen and have a better quality of life because if it - go for it.

I love teaching but hate all the crap that comes with it and takes me away from what I love about it. It wasn't until I became a mum, I realised how hard it was to make a decision - that would affect more people than myself. Big hugs.

Feeling very nauseous today. Lots of pains in the pelvic area. Not entirely sure when I will poas possibly on Sunday or the following Wednesday.

Are we saying that Frer are the best hot on the market ladies? Should I be looking for alternatives as well?

KatOnATinRo0f · 28/01/2016 18:34

Okay I am about to catch up on the wholllleee day

LisaTheGreek · 28/01/2016 18:32

Mango bellinis sound awesome! Jealous!

The moment AF comes I am hitting the bottle. At least something to look forward to then - and an nice dry, chilled white wine will never taste so sweet! Wine

ElleSarcasmo · 28/01/2016 18:28

Choco missed your post about your booking in appt! How exciting, so pleased it went well 😊
We are probably all nearly as excited as you about the scan 😉

Fx for you too Stardust

Sounds like it's been a draining day Starky, mango bellinis sound like an excellent idea. I bought wine today to cheer myself up after getting AF yesterday but now wishing I had prosecco!

ElleSarcasmo · 28/01/2016 18:23

Miwel I would hold off if you can, only because you're more likely to get a BFN if testing early. Fx your symptoms turn out to be non-work related!

StarkyTheDirewolf · 28/01/2016 18:22

Congratulations irregular amazing news! 🐝🌹👍🍼🎉🎊

cat that is my most favourite name that anyone's ever called me! It's really cheered me up! Thank you!

I'm 2 funerals down, one to go! I've bought a bottle of prosecco and some mango juice nowhere had peach so I can't have mango bellinis tomorrow as I feel like I deserve it! Running round trying to sort now so will have a proper read in a bit ! Emotionally drained today!

Impy moving to France sounds awesome. We would love to live somewhere rural...actually maybe USA but I can't face the amount of exams I'd have to do. Maybe if DH gets a job offer he can't refuse. Would you be moving to a town over there? How much notice do you have to give in teaching?

Mileymoocow · 28/01/2016 18:20

choc lol at worse trots than a horse in the Derby 😂

star I'd wait or starky the poas fairy will give you wrong.

miwelaisjacydo · 28/01/2016 18:19

elle well AF due Monday so do I wait until then?
star the waiting game really is a pain in the bum isn't it? I too have had the odd symptom. For me it's my boobs they look just different. I duno and am absolutely exhausted but then work is really really really running me down.

stardusty5 · 28/01/2016 18:15

Congrats new preggos! Delighted for you.

I'm getting antsy now. Was feeling quite symptomy earlier this week but now feeling nothing much. Been tired in the mornings but that's not unusual for this time of year. I feel like i can smell things better, but then wondering if it's just because i'm more alert to that sort of thing? Was deffo having more cn earlier this week- i don't usually have much, but even that seems to have subsided.

Not sure if AF is coming, as i don't really get symptoms. If she does, she better be on time!

Going to try and hold off until Sunday morning

Chocaholic88 · 28/01/2016 18:11

Fx I had constipation for a little bit. Then two nights ago I had worse trots than a horse in the Derby and nausea to match! Thought it was a bug but passed overnight!!

Also re cm... I'm not any 'wetter' than usual so lack of CM doesn't necessarily mean a BFN ladies :) xx

ElleSarcasmo · 28/01/2016 18:09

Likewise Lisa!

Loving the warm and fuzzies too Planeteer! 😊

Miwel when are you testing?

Chocaholic88 · 28/01/2016 18:07

Eeeek congrats miley and irregular

Keep positive confused you're not out until youre out!

Just back from my booking appointment- midwife is absolutely lovely! Current estimated due date is 17th Sept... but she said be prepared to be further along when I have the scan in 2-3 weeks :)

ElleSarcasmo · 28/01/2016 17:58

Woohoo Miley and Irregular! Lovely lines!

You're not out yet Confused!
