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?

Congrats miley! Flowers

ElleSarcasmo · 27/01/2016 22:30

Starky so sad for that family. I can't even imagine what they're going through. It does mean a lot when you lose someone to have kind, sympathetic people involved in the funeral so I'm sure you helped a little Flowers

ElleSarcasmo · 27/01/2016 22:27

Congratulations Miley so pleased for you!! Flowers Flowers Flowers Have you told OH yet? How exciting!

Bellini hope it is sinking in more for you now! Congratulations again! Flowers

Proper lol at #clitsnotclots and POAS on the floor (oh dear Skip!)

StarkyTheDirewolf · 27/01/2016 22:27

Also, don't know how many of you shop at aldi but they have the vitamin drink tablets (like berocca) and they don't have vitamin A in, but they do have folic acid. And they're 79 (or 89p, they're less than a pound ) for 20. And I've been drinking one in about a litre of water a day. My skin has improved, I've been feeling better and although they make your wee NEON, and I mean NEON! They're quite good.

miley awwwww I thought you might be!!

Massive congrats to you and bellini.

All these grads!! /sniffsniff

Ni4444 · 27/01/2016 22:12

Miley and Bel you're upduffed!!!!! 😀😀😀😀 Fantastic!! I knew it was coming Miley! Fingers crossed I get lots of creamy drippy CM next week never thought I'd say that!

Catching up on new series of Call the Midwife. OH is learning! 😉

LisaTheGreek · 27/01/2016 22:09

Right. I've not had a great day (nothing compared to Stark's though - so sorry about that. There are literally no words).

I think I'm just about caught up, so, in priority order:

Miley - fucking ace girl! Get in! Many many congrats, that's such amazing news! I'm so glad the girls made you do another test.

Been lolling around my train for:

  • Pissing on a stick on the floor of the GP's surgery
  • #clitsnotsclots (or whatever way round that goes!)
  • the idea of shoving your phone up your vag so Ovia can test your CM (and follow-up shout-out to whoever said their phone was a big boy Samsung and wouldn't fit).

Taking it seriously for a second though, if you could do that with your phone (or something), that would be awesome. Stick something up then have it sync to your phone which says 'you have EWCM, and your cervix is high and spongy'. And then it automatically gets uploaded to Ovibitch or similar.

Bananarma · 27/01/2016 21:54

Scribbles notes I can check a lot of these symptoms Miley. The thirst especially.
Hmm now it's who to believe when to test; Ff or Ovia? Got different info from both. Ff reckons Friday ovia next Wednesday. I was going to splash out on a Frer but maybe will settle for a cheapie Asda 1...

Mileymoocow · 27/01/2016 21:45

I second the back niggles (was my lower back) and I got 2 spots on my chest. Never had hem there.

Also dandruff! Lovely.

Mileymoocow · 27/01/2016 21:44

Thank you miw banana and indi!

Ok symptoms get your notebooks ready:
5dpo I had a slight pinching sensation in abdomen, was really thirsty and started with the sticky cm
6dpo Still felt wet and sticky tmi slight thrush and felt like I was getting a cold that never appeared.
7dpo had a funny metal taste and also still had thrush
8,9,10 and 12dpo sore boobs down the sides usually get this as well as sore nips when expecting af also have had really bad what felt like af cramps and felt a little nauseous today (12 dpo) still have sticky cm

Planeteer · 27/01/2016 21:42

Catching up, and now grinning like a loon. Miley and bel, how ruddy exciting is this???!?! Excellent upduffing skillz, ladies. Squeeee!! SmileThanks

BelliniButterfly · 27/01/2016 21:39

Aww thanks Bananarma I have had symptoms that are unusual for me. Normally cramps, sore boobs etc arrive after AF definitely not before. However, for the last week or so I've had cramping, very sore nipples, tender breasts, some lower back niggles and spots that I've not had since I've been 14! Lol still be cautiously realistic though x

twinkydink · 27/01/2016 21:38

Congratulations ladies! Wow there have been a lot of BFPs on here this week! Makes me feel a lot more positive about this whole TTC malarkey Smile

IrregularCommentary · 27/01/2016 21:32

Miley I'm tired, headachey and leaking cm like a particularly offensive tap, but I'm expecting af to turn up at the weekend in all honesty. Symptoms don't seem definite enough to me, but we'll see. Only cycle 1 so nothing to be disheartened with even if I'm right Smile

miwelaisjacydo · 27/01/2016 21:31
