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?

Classicists of the world unite! I did Classics at university so I may be biased but it's the best subject in the world and I'm not at all tempted to call any future son that we have Aeneas.

ImpYCelyn · 26/01/2016 21:32

No way Stark! I did Classics at uni, but aside from the people I studied with, almost no one seems to even know what I'm talking about Smile Well, I have a load of Greek tragedy mock exams to mark... It's my job for tomorrow, I've even cleared the dining table WinkGrin

Pmsl at your Ovia exchange Miley

Moggysinger · 26/01/2016 21:31

Ooops missed 9+4 in the time it took me to write a post! Lol

Ill go with 6+5 then please Kat

LisaTheGreek · 26/01/2016 21:30

I once read a sexy romance on the train on the way to work (on my phone Kindle app, obvs). When I got to work and went for a wee I thought I must have been hugely turned on by the sex in the book (surprising, given it a quite boring). Figured I was a bit of a lit porn fan. Now I know it was clearly my special time of the month....

Ni4444 · 26/01/2016 21:30

I'm using Oviabitch and FF. I like what they both have to offer! bloody pain entering both though!

So ladies, they say high caffeine intake doesn't help conception.. I drink 2/3 cups of seriously strong tea...and ive been guilting myself about it. Do we think that it's all scaremongering, or should I limit to 1 which I'd probably have to get used to for when upduffed anyway

StarkyTheDirewolf · 26/01/2016 21:28

imp I have an actual a-level in classical civilisations !! I am genuinely amazed because I've never met ANYONE who has done classical civilisations as a subject either as a teacher or student (other than the people who were in my class!) It was my favourite subject for 7 years! My most favourite word ever is pentacosiomedimni! ! Consider me floored!

Hahahahahahaaaaa!

Also, I also thought all CM was arousal juice! I feel very naive....

Checking in.... Sooo much to catch up on!

Holding off testing until af late if I have a personality transplant in the meantime

choc aww yeeee! Of course you're upduffed! Think we all knew it even if the tests did lie. What a mind boggling experience for you, must be such a massive relief to finally have that bfp. huge congrats to you and your dh FlowersFlowersCake

Kat I'll go for 9+4 if it's still free please! Grin

Mileymoocow · 26/01/2016 21:23

Jeez lisa imagine putting the into ovia. Me: "Oh ovia, I found a fingernail up there"
Ovia: oh fuck bitch that yo baby's nail. You pregnant.

Mileymoocow · 26/01/2016 21:21

kt I thought all cm was because I was aroused until a few months ago. And I never noticed it's consistency. Now I'm close to taking it to work in a lab and analysing it

LisaTheGreek · 26/01/2016 21:20

Miley, I am pissing myself laughing! I just woke up the cats as they wondered what the noise was.

(Also, I first read your post as your nail breaking off .... 'in-situ'.... If you see what I mean....)

ImpYCelyn · 26/01/2016 21:20

kathrino I did actually smile at that! I was also pleased when Latin joined the group Smile

Mileymoocow · 26/01/2016 21:20

impy ooooooor you could be upduffed!!

I'm going to try FF. Ovia is a pervy little slag who thrives on the unhappiness of others.

Kathrino · 26/01/2016 21:19

Ovia just told me that the fact that my neck is sore means that AF is on its way. Whatever...

Imp, as a class civ teacher, you might appreciate the fact the autocorrect keeps changing Ovia to Ovid.

ktkaye · 26/01/2016 21:18

It's amazing how accustomed one becomes to examine/feeling for and thinking about ones vag and all its secretions in a way that never happens before TTC. Also Snowdog Inknow what you mean. I would never discuss any of this in RL! Imagining approaching my colleagues with the sort of info I tell Ovia - triumphantly announcing 'my CM has turned watery!' to a row of aghast teachers and TAs. Blush

Mileymoocow · 26/01/2016 21:18

I braved it and I'm still creamy. Mine, not OH'S. I also want you all to know I cut one fingernail right down for this specific reason but if anyone asks, I snapped it

Snowdog37 · 26/01/2016 21:17

Imp I'm also sticking to FF. I really like it. All the analysis stuff it does is great and doesn't have a schizo pissy attitude like Ovia.

ImpYCelyn · 26/01/2016 21:16

Lisa, I've only used it this cycle. But it's ov prediction did coincide with my ewcm. It originally said af today, which hasn't appeared, but a week ago changed it to tomorrow, so I guess I'll find out then! It's not very pretty, but it is very clear, and has some good analysis tools.

BelliniButterfly · 26/01/2016 21:16

Thanks everyone.

I've got a Superdrug and a Sainsbury's test left so will try with FMU in the morning. If I get the hint of a positive is it worth trying to do a clear blue digital test or is it too soon? (period due Friday).

I have had very tender breasts and sore nipples for the last week or so which is unusual for me. I've also had quite a lot of cramping at times which I never normally get and my nipples look dark and also like there's some white spots developing! Not sure if it is my imagination playing tricks on me lol!

Mileymoocow · 26/01/2016 21:16

lisa yes, he's a former member of kiss 😂

choc I'm the same. It's just so wrong. In every possible way. I was going to be a cm scrape but I can't face it now.

ImpYCelyn · 26/01/2016 21:13

Apologies for all the clenching I've caused. I won't mention it again GrinGrinGrin

LisaTheGreek · 26/01/2016 21:13

Imp - how are you finding FF? Do you think it's accurate?

LisaTheGreek · 26/01/2016 21:12

Oh no, Choc, sorry to hear you're vomming. How are you?

ImpYCelyn · 26/01/2016 21:11

Laughing my head off at snow's DH flying off the bed Grin

Thanks Stark, it's year 8 German and year 12 Classical civilisation. Sadly they need actual corrections other than just ticks Sad but it's good of you to offer GrinGrin

I've decided it would be much too "lay back and think of England" if we dispensed with all the fun bits... I might consider preseed, but I'm ignoring the saliva issue.

Still no af, still loads of cramps Hmm I dread to think what Ovibitch is making of all this (I'm just sticking to FF now).

LisaTheGreek · 26/01/2016 21:11

Miley - now imagining your DH with a lizard-like long tongue. Apologies, I'm sure he's completely anatomically normal and correct!
