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/Ovibitch) 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 9 , 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.

Post your stats and add your dates. We have a register thanks to kat, I have been dubbed the resident piss stick queen 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?

Big hugs Bellini be gentle with yourself today Thanks xx

Chocaholic88 · 31/01/2016 11:58

Keep an eye on how heavy it is... Sometimes people have bleeding in early pregnancy. I had it with my son... it's more common than we realise I think. Big hugs either way xd

Chocaholic88 · 31/01/2016 11:56

Oh bellini :( so so sorry xx it does sound like a chemical

Sending you so much love and hugs xxxxxx

ElleSarcasmo · 31/01/2016 11:56

Oh FFS sorry I hadn't caught up properly! Sorry about AF Planeteer.

ElleSarcasmo · 31/01/2016 11:54

Starky that cervix picture is just Grin! I haven't really got the hang of mine tbh, when it's high it's too far away to assess how soft it is, plus I have a cyst on it (there for years) which feels a bit ick to touch! I've given up now.

Welcome Vixarooni, Flying Spaghetti Monster (can I call you Spaghetti?) and Sassenach! Smile

Indi sounds promising! Fx for you!

Planeteer got my fx you will ovulate soon! You have more patience than anyone should have to!

IrregularCommentary · 31/01/2016 11:53

IndiX · 31/01/2016 11:48

Bellini I'm so sorry, I hope next month is a better month xxx

BelliniButterfly · 31/01/2016 11:42

Thanks ZazzlesTheCat2 It's very much like af and I have typical cramping.

ZazzlesTheCat2 · 31/01/2016 11:41

Oh no bellini so sorry. Is it heavy like af?

BelliniButterfly · 31/01/2016 11:39

I am gutted. After getting my bfp during the week, I started bleeding this morning so it obviously wasn't meant to be. I'm assuming this is what they call a chemical pregnancy? February is a new month hopefully it will be the month we manage to do it.

Pmsl at the smiley cervices and the song. I must be careful to not go around singing that at work, my patients would actually think I've lost it!

My DH is nearly 31 Starky, but his daughter is 10 this year, so yes old balls!

I use FF and Ovia. I prefer FF as it seems a bit more accurate, although as cycles are irregular my fw can change anyway. But as an example, both ovia and FF said my fw would start today or tomorrow. When I got my Peak opk, ovia completely changed it to say I was day 5 of 6 of my fw, whereas FF just brought it forward to start on the day I got the peak. Based on temp dip and then a rise, FF has moved it forward another day. So according to ovia fw is over, FF says I'm still in the middle of it. So I'm more inclined to believe FF, plus it's more opportunity for shagging lol.

IrregularCommentary · 31/01/2016 10:23

Had people over this weekend so am way behind on everything now. Sorry for those af has caught, fx for you all next cycle.

Indi those symptoms sound very promising to me as well, fx for you!

I'm 3+6 today, cannot stop burping/farting, am tired but then also waking up early and feel slightly hungover, which I think we can all agree is pretty fucking unfair given my extended designated driver status!

stardusty5 · 31/01/2016 10:18

Welcome aboard Planeteer! Sorry about AF, the fiend!

I had an inkling she was going to get me as i was really moody yesterday. The mere sight of DH's trail of 'i was just about to put it away' clutter was enough have me swearing. Luckily he was out walking the dog (in the wind and rain) so i didn't bite his head off!

Sorry to those who af got, I was pretty emotional about mine, but I'm back to feeling positive again now!

Planeteer · 31/01/2016 10:08

Indi I have everything crossed for you! Those symptoms sound pretty promising to me!

I'm joining the AF crew today, witch finally got me. Not too upset as that's a 30 day decrease from the last monster cycle (97 days to 66 days) so am just keeping fx that this one will be shorter still. I'll optimistically grab a seat on the March bus please Kat Smile**

Wine** and hugs for other AF'ers, and lots of luck for those with tests coming up. Who's next to poas?

latinata · 31/01/2016 10:08

Starky, thank you very much for the sanity injection!! One thing I am not lacking is tiny tupperwares, which have already come in handy for opking in the work loos.

Ciao, 8dpo fmu! See you never!
