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?

choc

Carrying 'pumpkin seed' who may be anywhere between 5 weeks and 10 weeks but on my notes it says I'm 8+1

Finally stopped slobbering like an excitable basset hound and gagging at everything from food smells to loud noises.

Loving my new-2 cups sizes bigger- boobies which are no longer sore

As excited as the rest of you to see who wins the sweepstakes on my dates!

Soooo just told friend who has already decided to book in 'pumpkin seed' being on the cover of a baby magazine (she works for a big franchise of publishing) once he/she is born. No pressure for me then... lol!!

Hi all!

TTC 1 since September
Cycle 3 as crazy long cycles from stopping the pill
CD 32
DPO 3-4

Really building my hopes up this cycle as its the 1st cycle using OPKs so I know we DTD around OV! The TWW is driving me crazy already and still got another 9 days until I can test (day after AF is due!) FX for everyone that this is our cycle!!! Xxx

DH is sickSad man flu just in time for fertile week. Planned to do every day/every other day from cycle day 10 until cycle day 20 to cover our bases! Hope I'm still in with a chance of persuading him! Raging 'ahem' libido this month!

Pink, age 33, currently cooking a 10+2 bean (baby no.1, conceived cycle #1). Pretty sure time has stopped and these past few weeks have been the longest in the history of the world!

LaraG13 · 07/02/2016 21:17

jam I think I'll try to wait until 20th too. Probably won't succeed though! OH and I really tried hard this month so I'm kind of optimistic even though I know that could just set me up for disappointment.

Moggysinger · 07/02/2016 21:07

I was wondering when a new thread would be coming up Grin

Moggy, 29
Dh = 30
Ttc no. 1
Cycle 3
CD 8 but had ewcm so have dtd twice in past 24 hours! Go me! However must conserve some energy for fw and not peak too soon!

stark your wedding sounds like ours! Garden party, pizza, sunshine, cheap dress Grin and a whole lotta love. We were pretty chuffed to get it for under 5k. I've never been that fussed about the whole big white wedding thing but it really was hands down best day of my life. Oooh feel all emosh just thinking about it.

ipatches so sorry to hear of your mc/chemical. That must be so hard to deal with. Hope you and your dp are looking after one another, take all the time you need to grieve, it was real and your sadness is totally justified. Fx for the future, you deserve some happiness.

Jamjar12 · 07/02/2016 20:57

Ooh, that wasn't all in bold on my phone when I typed it! Only Lara and Snow!

Jamjar12 · 07/02/2016 20:56

Smile Lara!
**
I've resolved not to test until AF is due about the 20th. It seems so far away! When do you think you'll test? Fx for one or both of us! I think Snow was about the same too?

Kwick709 · 07/02/2016 20:40

Jesus Call the Midwife is desperately sad this week...

Cycle day 3

Usually 30 day cycles but ended up being 37 last month. Curse you AF!
This month i'm going to do daily opks from Day 6 and have lots more DTD!

These threads are so helpful to share experiences with others in the same boat. I don't talk to anyone else about TTC. Except for DH and inwould like to shield him from at least some of the obsessive madness!

LisaTheGreek · 07/02/2016 20:36

Pressed 'post' accidentally! Meant to say....

'using Ovia as a mainly useless bystander'

Great description, Planeteer. She's an impotent bitch.

Maple14 · 07/02/2016 20:18

Hi suchjem and pug. GP had referred me last year and was due to see consultant when we got our bfp. I'll need to wait a few months to see if I get regular periods post mc. Then I guess we'll probably have to go through the series of tests again. Frustrating! But trying to stay positive for now...

I didn't notice any difference to EWCM this month using EPO (had none to speak of). I think I'll try it again next month.

Dpo 2...ish

Feeling a little more optimistic after some definite positive opks, so am less convinced that I'm out this month. Tracking with clue and ff, with Ovia as a mainly useless bystander. Going to try and wait until more than 14dpo to test given bonkers cycles. Let's see how that goes. I predict not well.

ipatches i'm so sorry to hear Flowers. Can't remember who said it on the previous thread, but it is totally normal to feel how you do, you aren't just grieving the loss of the pregnancy but of those future plans you had for this pregnancy too. Be kind to yourself and start again when you feel ready, we are here if you need to vent.

Maple have you asked your gp to refer you?

Sore nipples are fading, and no further heartburn. Spotting turned into something a bit heavier, but not af, so guess it's my cervical ectropian showing it's ugly face again (sex 2 days prior, so makes sense).
I do keep getting mild cramp/pulling sensation though. Anywhere from 6 - 9dpo now.
