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?

Hope you're okay Kat?

starky depends on how sure you are about AF turning up. My feeling is until I get a bfp I'm not really changing my drinking habits - which is wine at the weekend basically.

I was thinking about giving it up for Lent too! However there's a part of me that thinks I kind of want to enjoy nice wine whilst I can...

StarkyTheDirewolf · 08/02/2016 17:58

Would it be wrong of me to have the peach belinnis tonight? I've been holding off just in case, but now, what with sore boobs, I'm thinking I might just pop it open! Dh is off tonight and were just goung to watch films and chill out once hes back from the gym. Feeling a bit dejected today, although I appear to have got over the chin wobbles a bit!

I'm also thinking I'll give up alcohol completely for lent. I love a challenge! Anyone else giving anything up?

Oh no! planeteer is it that bad? You poor thing! Just seen ni has completed the house move with limited bother and is catching up on the last thread but YAY for that being over ni ! Hope you're new home is lovely and you're enjoying settling in!

Hi holly - test day seems a long way off yet doesn't it!
I've never pinpointed ovulation yet, just relied on ovia before so looking forward to getting tracking this month.

Bathroom horrors mean currently camping on a friend's (slightly broken) air bed! Suspect dtd might be ambitious but will see what I can do Grin

StarkyTheDirewolf · 08/02/2016 17:14

That's a definite positive planeteer I'd do a frer in the morning! And just to be on the safe side, dtd tonight if you can! Grin

Haha thank you. I am not getting hopes up too much. Drs today referred me for bloods and scans to see what's going on, so even if bfn tomorrow (which I reckon it will be) then at least things are moving and I'll maybe find out a bit more!

Lyssie · 08/02/2016 16:53

Hi planeteer
I hope it's good news tomorrow! :D I'm excited for you!!!!

Planeteer · 08/02/2016 16:44

Thanks. Will see if I can get an FRER for the morning. Suspect it'll be negative and just another quirk of this interminable cycle, but worth seeing. Most bizarre.

Also lyssie, lols at your brain going teenage boy on you. And hi, also!

firstgo1984 · 08/02/2016 16:30

I agree with pug I would do a test just to check

Planeteer · 08/02/2016 16:27

Almost but not quite as dark first. Or at least not as dark as quickly. This came up pretty much immediately.

No real symptoms I don't think such. V weepy the last couple of days, and skin has been honkingly terrible for about 3 weeks. No cm to speak of, and nipples maybe slightly sore (although fairly certain that's just in my head...).

Pugmummy87 · 08/02/2016 16:24

Thanks feef & stark

I'm a bit better now. Went and power walked through the village today whilst I was picking up a few bits from the pharmacy and butchers (treated myself to a choc brownie from this amazing little tea shop we have, best cakes and sandwiches ever). The brownie probably won't actually help with the weight loss, but it cheered me up a bit anyway.
Looks like I'm going to have to go back to slimming world. Think it will have to be online though as I can't make any of the local groups anymore due to puppy obdience classes.

Seems like a lot of us are weepy today. ChocolateFlowers to all.

Planet I had similar, a positive opk 4 days after a positive before. Not quite sure what was going on there! Maybe try a FRER just to check.

SuchaJem · 08/02/2016 16:10

Try a FRER maybe planet? I'm not sure but that does strange if you had positive opks last week and this. Any other symptoms?

firstgo1984 · 08/02/2016 16:07

planeteer that is very positive. what were the ones before the weekend like?

Laurenowls · 08/02/2016 16:05

jem irk?? Thats why im going to sit patiently on my hands and just wait til af arrives then at least i know where i am...

Laurenowls · 08/02/2016 16:04

Hmmm maybe starky can offer some views??

Planeteer · 08/02/2016 15:53

Ladies and gurus of all things...help!! I had 2 days of positive opks end of last week, then my bathroom decided to break and all the plumbing disaster fun meant no poas over the weekend. Assumed I'd peaked anyway and was happily impatiently doing the 2ww thing. Just did another opk and got this after about 30 secs. So confused! Am cd 75 and got a bfn about 10 days ago. Thoughts v welcome!

SuchaJem · 08/02/2016 15:51

Oh I see lauren. What a pain! :(

Lyssie · 08/02/2016 15:49

Planeteer
When you wrote, "weepy-itis"
I read, "weepy-tits."
And I was like, "Good gravy...that sounds awful!"
Don't mind me, reading as like a proper 8 year old boy over here...

LisaTheGreek · 08/02/2016 15:46

Kat, how are you doing? Did AF turn up? Sorry if it did and I missed it x

Laurenowls · 08/02/2016 15:43

jem i didnt have one in jan as i had 3 weeks of mysterious symptoms and light bleeding/heavy spotting
So not sure where i stand atm!!

SuchaJem · 08/02/2016 15:25

first and starky glad that’s not just me then. EWCM used to be so obvious to me! Now I am a bit lost. I really need to get involved with some opks…

Welcome celibaze

lauren forgive me if I’m being daft, but I believe the first day of your cycle is the day you get your period. If you know what that was then you’ll know if you are day 14 or 23. Your conflicting app advice is confusing!

firstgo1984 · 08/02/2016 15:23

kat can I have an updated test date of Sunday 21st Feb. please
(i may do one before that date too, but I've mentally put myself into a new 2ww)

Laurenowls · 08/02/2016 15:20

kat put me down for march 22nd :)

ipatches so so so sorry xx

harrietm87 · 08/02/2016 15:14

Hello all! Sorry I've been completely awol. Just about recovered from my horrible illness and feeling optimistic for cycle 2!

My plan for this cycle is to dtd ever other day throughout and hope for the best!
