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?

I'll tell you one thing I'm sick of post pill...spots either side of my jawline!! Loved my spot-free skin while on the pill! These spots never clear up! Tucked up on the couch with the cat watching To Kill a Mockingbird while the OH is out...he'd never agree to a black and white movie!! Enjoying some Sauvignon Blanc hoping it's my last one for 9 months!

vixarooni · 30/01/2016 23:10

Awesome ipatch!! I'm no expert but a line is a line!!

Evergreen15 · 30/01/2016 23:05

Singing

Evergreen15 · 30/01/2016 23:04

SpagMon I have Kindara. I like it the best so that is my primary app**
Stark I am signing to that Cervix tune right now

sassenach84 · 30/01/2016 23:03

SpagMon I use Ovia, FF, Clue and PinkPad. Have found Clue the best so far for predictions but I have also used it the longest as didn't have AF for six months after the pill and was just trying to get a sense of things before TTC. Only download the rest in the last couple of months. Having said that, Ovia hasn't been too off the mark either...yet.

Ni4444 · 30/01/2016 23:03

Hi Sass!! Hi Flying waves hello
Welcome to ttc crazyland!Grin

I'm still sticking with Ovia...but I have added FF! cos I wasn't spending enough time obsessing! See Planeteer! You're never alone in the house of crazy!

Laurenowls · 30/01/2016 22:54

ipatches its most probably the womb stretching to make room for baba xxx

Laurenowls · 30/01/2016 22:53

starky is it bad that i already sang it in the tune of soft kitty warm kitty before you even said probably is but hey ho
Think i watch way too much big bang theory xx

iPatches · 30/01/2016 22:52

Indi, Vix, Kath - my boobs went from normal to SO painful between going to bed one day and getting up the next. It's been a week and no change.

AF is due tomorrow and despite the brilliant BFP this morning, I have had cramps all day and so worried that it's all not real. You can't get false BFPs, can you?

FlyingSpaghettiM0nster · 30/01/2016 22:48

Starky, that cervix pic is my new favourite thing. I just hope I don'y get caught singing "Soft cervix, warm cervix" in work... that could get a tad embarrassing

FlyingSpaghettiM0nster · 30/01/2016 22:46

You must share the names of these apps so I can download them. It's like Pokemon.... gotta download them all. Still feel weird letting the apps know when I partake in intercourse. I can just imagine some teenage hacker getting off on knowing my CM is creamy Grin

StarkyTheDirewolf · 30/01/2016 22:45

To the tune of soft kitty,warm kitty.

I'm using not one, not two, not three but four apps Blush variations for AF start can be as much as 10 days. Who are these people behind the apps!? Not doctors or scientists!

FlyingSpaghettiM0nster · 30/01/2016 22:40

There's a 3rd app?!?! I have Ovia and FF, I didn't realise there was another one! You must tell me what it is so I can download it and tell the app and some weird perv that has hacked the app what position my cervix is in

StarkyTheDirewolf · 30/01/2016 22:38

ni I know, I've just gone a teensy bit bonkers today. All I can think is "DH! IM OVULATING! FERTILISE ME!!" And he's not even here! Got all my fingers and toes crossed for us!

Welcome all newbies and lurkers! Huzzah and hurrah! Grin

Evergreen15 · 30/01/2016 22:36

Thanks Co5mo. I am not feeling very hopeful. I am very tired as I have been with a cold. Also just hating the 2ww to a point where I just rather have AF already. Bah.
Planeteer I have 3 apps. You are not insane if you are, we all are, and if we all are, nobody is insane then
Ha! Now I am thinking my nipples are sensitive. But then again that is an AF symptom for me.
I am tired and fed up Envy

Ni4444 · 30/01/2016 22:33

Stats...
Ni
Ttc#1
Cycle#4 (hate that it's been that many!)
CD 23/30-33
5dpo.... Hanging around waiting for symptoms!

Stark I thought dtd once a day was best to ensure good quality swimmers? Don't overdo it!! I'm hoping this is your cycle!! (and mine!!)

sassenach84 · 30/01/2016 22:30

Hello ladies,

I lurked through the last thread but you had me at #clitsnotclots Grin

Age 31
TTC 1
Cycle 1
CD 28, DPO 4 (had planned for a nice DTD weekend this weekend but FW caught me by surprise early so just eating and sleeping instead!)

Been passing gas like a race horse for the last few days. Hoping it's a sign of something (anything! pg, PMS, IBS! lol) and that this is not normal behaviour that I usually don't notice when not TTC Confused.

FlyingSpaghettiM0nster · 30/01/2016 22:27

I posted on the last thread because I'm a moron unobservant

Name: FlyingSpaghettiM0nster
Age: 30
TTC #1
Cycle #2
3 DPO, CD 17
Trying to resist the urge to symptom spot because I know that you don't get symptoms until implantation but of course I'm crazy so over-analyse every twinge

IndiX · 30/01/2016 22:14

Been squeezing my boobs non stop since Wednesday. Like non stop. They are sore but I am now stopping myself from thinking they are sore, so I'm mind-fucking myself big time.

vixarooni · 30/01/2016 22:12

Haha kathrino i am with you!! I was pinching mine thinking, "these feel different" then realised I have never touched them like that before to have any point of reference!!

Kathrino · 30/01/2016 22:08

Let's not forget the time I spent/wasted this afternoon poking my boobs to see if they hurt at all...

I'm so thankful for you ladies who make me feel like I'm totally and utterly normal.

Planeteer · 30/01/2016 22:06

Indi I am v definitely going insane if that helps you.
Still no AF, and opks negative thus far. No idea even what phase of the cycle I'm in and Ovibitch is not helping. Clinging on to her being right, as my other app (yes, I have two... See? INSANE) says I won't have a fw until 20th March, which is just depressing.

Plus my skin is just dreadful, and today am a stumbling clumsy lunatic who seems to have lost her grip on words. Spent a good 5 mins today asking DH to 'pass me the err ... The... Err...the.....err' and then bursting into tears when he ( reasonably) asked me what in the name of arse I was talking about. Aaaaarghhormonesaaaargh!!

That was cathartic. Thank you (and sorry for the rant. Here is a biscuit Biscuit)

vixarooni · 30/01/2016 22:04

I'm throwing some good guesses out there! opk? ovulation test?
