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?

Kwick - good point... The book suggests different things for different points in your cycle. Raspberry leaf is good in the lead up to ovulation for preparing the uterus. I won't be taking it after ovulation. After ovulation a good tea to have is camomile for its calming effects. I will look up for egg quality and let you know :)

StarkyTheDirewolf · 08/02/2016 23:38

moggy I've cracked, I just opened the prosecco! Dh was doing my head in! He agreed to have one too so hopefully he'll sit down and shut the fuck up chill out while drinking it!

It's awful, such a tiny little thing, it must be a massive shock. My nephew was poorly just after he was born and I was bereft! Trust in the doctors and hopefully all will be made right. Poor little mite though. Flowers

My dm tells me when I was first born I started sick in up blood, cue a+e, baby dependency unit, they couldnt work out what was wrong with me...until an experienced midwife checked dm over, discovered she hd shocking mastitis and I was essentially suckling the blood from her nips!

Stark maybe he's sending that you are upduffed (much like he can sense you ovulating)

KatOnATinRo0f · 08/02/2016 23:35

ThanksThanks for your baby niece moggy ThanksThanks

You're all lovely. My sil is being much more positive than I am right now but she's known for a little while so I think it's just the shock for me. It should be fixable with surgery and I know babies are very hardy. She's just so tiny and dependent right now the thought of her going through surgery makes me feel all weepy Sad Hoping to wake up tomorrow with a much more positive outlook.

starky I'm going to attempt to give up the booze for lent too. If I get a bfn in 2 weeks I will probably fall off the wagon and treat myself to a pint glass of vino. But if I have the most ginormous wave of luck and get a bfp I have an excuse for not drinking. Sorted!

StarkyTheDirewolf · 08/02/2016 23:23

Dh is getting on my nerves.

He won't sit still and keeps talking over every programme we out on so has no idea what's going on, so asks me and then gets miffed when I say "I haven't got a clue, you've never shut up!"

He's twatting about with his new torch, making "a quick bit of food" and has asked me for the 15th time if I want a cup of tea, I don't! I just want him to sit down and chill out!

And keeps asking if I'm all right because "you're not yourself" ...how would he know?! He's not sat still in the same room as me for more than four minutes since he got back from the gym!!

Sorry just re-read Moggy and realised your niece already has results, so sorry Sad

Evergreen15 · 08/02/2016 22:51

Hi!!!
I can't catch up so I will start here! Hello thread 10!!!
I hope I haven't missed anything major. I shall wait for kat's list for any new BFP

ElleSarcasmo · 08/02/2016 22:50

Feefs are you on codeine? It is a bastard for constipation. Are you drinking lots of water? Dried apricots/prunes maybe? Hope you get some relief tomorrow!

ElleSarcasmo · 08/02/2016 22:48

Oops meant Pugmummy

ElleSarcasmo · 08/02/2016 22:47

Sorry about your niece Moggy, hope the tests come back ok Flowers

Sorry AF got you Kat and about the baby bomb Flowers

I have put on weight too [Pug]. I put a smart jacket on that I bought in the sale but hadn't worn yet. DH said it looked small Sad it does, I can hardly do the buttons up I'm going to cut out crap for lent and run at least twice a week.

ElleSarcasmo · 08/02/2016 22:43

Weepy tots Pug?! lol!

No weepies here. Just grumpies. Think I must have missed ovulation (?) as OPK lighter today than yesterday though cocked up not doing it on Saturday so who knows.

Jem what happened to your Gu ramekin? I tried some disposable drinks cups (bought for stealth work testing) and they were good as they have better capacity.

Thanks Holly, I will have a look.

I'm thinking cheese and ham tomorrow, I like a savoury pancake but sense I'm in the minority!

Feefeefs · 08/02/2016 22:36

I'm literally envious of your sharting miley I have not pooed properly for 2 weeks and at all for a week despite 3 days of laxatives. It is now so bad that I'm jealous of someone having diarrhoea BlushConfused

FX for tomorrow! This is on the account of painkillers by the way normally regular as clockwork.

I think I may have just won the TMI prize!!

Pugmummy87 · 08/02/2016 22:35

Weepy tits! Not weepy tots. Grin

Pugmummy87 · 08/02/2016 22:34

I also got weepy tots queuing in the Co Op today because a Rod Stewart song came on and my step dad loved Rod. Trying to hold back tears as you are paying for your shopping is hard.

My team are having a bring a plate Italian night Wednesday and there will be prosecco. I'm on annual leave this week, so it would be rude not to surely. I could potentially be 12dpo wed.

StarkyTheDirewolf · 08/02/2016 21:46

Werpy tits?! Fucking Werpy! ? Weepy. ...good god. Heaven forbid we get Werpy tits as well weepy tits and weepy-itis!

StarkyTheDirewolf · 08/02/2016 21:45

Oh moggy your poor niece Flowers

Ive not had my prosecco, I feel sick now and am sooo bloated I'd give a blimp a run for its money! And I can't stop burping!

Aww miley shit mate literally can you take pepto bismol? That puts a stopper in the bum hole for a while poo-wise. I've got both trapped and escaping gas.

Woo!! I am up to date again!! Hi again all waves... Feels I've been gone for ages!

Kwick I love that idea! The living room is bigger in the new place and morning sun beams in so I was thinking of starting my morning exercises again! I've been getting unfit and less toned while "minding myself" ttc..which hasn't got me upduffed anyway! So this month I'm taking EPO (thanks to whoever talked about earlier in this thread.. just popped it into amazon basket!), gonna use pre-seed properly again, and I am gonna get back exercising!!

Feefeefs · 08/02/2016 21:31

So sorry to hear about your niece moggy.

I like your idea kwick sun salutation each morning!

Found out today a colleague is also trying and it kind cheered me up, just the honesty of it.

Mileymoocow · 08/02/2016 21:30

I read weepy tits too. And now it's a total thing for me!!

Sorry to hear about your niece moggy Sad hope all is ok.

I'm also sorry everyone is feeling shit. Just been shopping and almost sharted explosive bowels and terrible gas does not make for a good combination

I'm having pancakes and everything tomorrow. And starky go drink that prosecco for me please, will you. Could just use a bellini tho I definitely would do a shit fart if alcohol was involved

Kathrino · 08/02/2016 21:24

Oh moggy, your poor baby niece ThanksThanksThanks

Kwick709 · 08/02/2016 20:44

moggy very sorry to hear about your niece... So sad :(

Kwick709 · 08/02/2016 20:43

Lisa your uni sounds a whole lot better than mine - thanks for recipe - will try tomorrow!

Moggysinger · 08/02/2016 20:43

So glad to see I'm not the only one with weepytits today! misery loves company!
Going back to work after a lovely few days off is never nice. Then I was baby bombed by a colleague but I am genuinely chuffed for her as shes lovely and they were trying for ages so its a much wanted baby.
Now I have some sad news about my 2 month old niece being poorly with a congenital condition and I just want to cry. This baby making thing is a total rollercoaster not even the ttc thing but all the health stuff that comes along with new babes too Sad

Harriet we're almost cycle buddies! I'm going to cave before you though and test on 3 March!
