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 10, 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?

Hi meadow I am 25, getting married in April this year.

TTC #1.

Came off pill 6th December and still no bleed for me! Currently on like CD 66! Went docs yesterday and he said it's completely normal but for peace of mind had blood tests done and referring me for ultrasound of my ovaries to make sure they're OK! Just a waiting game now!

MeadowHay · 10/02/2016 10:42

Jem, I agree totally and sorry you feel that way. To be honest I think women in general really can't do anything right in the eyes of society generally. Wishing you a speedy BFP! And obviously many women have children much older than you are with no problems Smile

SuchaJem · 10/02/2016 10:34

meadow you can’t win honestly. All I ever hear / read about is how women are leaving it too late. I feel slightly nervous that I’ve left it to 32 and that is ridiculous. You could argue that we still aren’t in an ideal position to sprog. We don’t own our own home, we rent a 1-bed garden flat. Leave others to their judgements. If you and your partner are ready then that’s all that matters.

MeadowHay · 10/02/2016 10:19

Sorry, I went to bed not long after I asked! I am 22. Lyssie 19! I thought I would probably be the youngest but obviously not! I am worried about how my family will react if I do get pregnant, can't imagine their horror if it was when I was 19! You are brave! Although DH was only 19 when we got married, I was 20. We still get all sorts of comments now from people and I'm 22 and he will be in the summer. People can be so rude to young people sometimes I think.

FF says I am fertile today...deffo need to DTD tonight. DH not long gone to work and I won't be back from uni til after 8pm. Started temping this morning too, exciting!

Pugmummy87 · 10/02/2016 08:52

Thanks Kat Yeah I figured until I get a bfp, I should really take it because it's antiflamatory and will help, still couldn't help that 'what i' guilt though.

Will try the salt, I'm quite militant about brushing teeth, so no problem with making sure it's clean.

I haven't actually been to the dentist for about 5 years Blush
That's really bad isn't it. Since moving up here, I just haven't got around to registering. The dental practice is moving to new premises in the next few weeks and I thought the other day, once it opens, I'll go and register.

Ladies, did you know once you are pregnant you are entitled to free prescriptions and dental care which is valid for a year after the birth too. Just ask your midwife/gp for an fw8/maternity prescription exemption form.

Pink Queen Conch latinata. Not the place for it Grin

Evergreen15 · 10/02/2016 08:37

Kat I am on cycle 3 and lost my patience already. I have regained some by stopping tempting and relaxing more about it. I could not sustain it.
I am 34 and DP 38 and I am tired and I want to get upduffed soon.
But now I am just too tired so only opks.
I regret the lack of emoticons deeply.

Trying to catch up - on page 10 only!!!

Massive congrats to golden and planet Star

SuchaJem · 10/02/2016 08:17

And thanks for the kats stats update 👍🏼 loving the icon!

SuchaJem · 10/02/2016 08:16

Morning all, woken up early this morning by sharp stabbing pains in lower abdomen, mainly left hand side. What the hell is this?!

Am cd16 but think I already ovulated - EWCM last week.

Also bloated and very windy 😳

KatOnATinRo0f · 10/02/2016 08:13

Morning- wisdom tooth advice for pug
Take paracetamol and ibuprofen (if u can) ibuprofen is good as is anti inflam and area is inflamed.
Keep it really really clean. I know it hurts and may bleed and is generally a bitch but u have to keep it clean. Plaque = bacteria which makes everything worse
Rinse strongly with hot salt water. Every few hours. Alternate rinsing with corsodyl mouthwash. Tastes gross, but good for gum inflammation.
It hurts but it should settle.
If I haven't seen a dentist for a while- go to check there isn't decay on the tooth or another reason it is hurting. Occasionally, but not often, people may need ABs, or the tooth out. But normally don't take out unless repeated problems with them.

Feefeefs · 10/02/2016 07:56

Wisdom teeth are the devil pugmummy hope it fades! The dentist told me ibuprofen was fine until get bfp. She was very keen for me to take it as my face was so swollen tho.

That tap is hiliarious latinata

Mileymoocow · 10/02/2016 07:38

latina that is brilliant! 😂😂

meadow I'm 26, OH is 30 in may.

Guys, the cervical mucus is still very much here. I Houghton I'd wee'd myself a little this morning. In fact I have mucus everywhere. I have a runny nose but no cold...

Oh pug no! Toothache is the worst Sad I had to have 1 of my wisdom teeth extracted because they were impacted growing sideways and it was brilliant. No more grief Grin

Pugmummy87 · 10/02/2016 07:17

Woke up at 4.30 to toothache. Well, more like jaw ache, the whole left side of my jaw was throbbing ++. Took paracetamol and ibuprofen, feel a little guilty about the ibuprofen in case one is up duffed, but at least it's faded now. Bastard wisdom teeth playing up again. What is the point of the them? Certainly hasn't made me any more wise!

Latinata that is most definitely a fanny. I can't stop laughing at it.

StarkyTheDirewolf · 10/02/2016 04:21
