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?

Starky think we're spotting twins Smile never happened to me either. When is AF due?

SuchaJem · 16/02/2016 13:27

Maybe I'm getting confused, I thought light spotting wasn't uncommon in early pg? Gah I don't know my cervix from my belly button.

StarkyTheDirewolf · 16/02/2016 13:05

jem Is it? I thought any spotting at this late in a cycle would just be an early indication of af arriving? I've never really spotted before so I don't actually know. I usually get one long drip red and then the demon tsunami of Satan happens.

kat definetly Yay for normal length cycles! If I could get to even an average of a 32/33 day cycle I'd be so pleased!

hurrah for normal length cycles!!!!!

SuchaJem · 16/02/2016 12:41

isn't pink spotting good? ooh starky fingers crossed

I found a good website for mental symptom spotters
www.pregmed.org/signs-of-pregnancy

StarkyTheDirewolf · 16/02/2016 12:05

I think I'm out because I think I'm spotting pink. On the positive side, that means I had an almost normal length cycles if af shows up now! Which is a good thing!

Hunks?! Thinks..

Mileymoocow · 16/02/2016 11:04

moose haha! That was me during my fw a while back. I'm fide!

fx I went over he fields with pooch. He's happy and snoozing now. I did vomit into the kitchen sink whilst preparing breakfast which is a bit of a low point! But I'm feeling loads better now.

My dgm hunks it's his ibd acting up. FX we hear soon. If he has to stay in over night I'm insisting she stays at our house, I can't bare the thought of her being on her own

FXSkip · 16/02/2016 10:56

Kwick that's a great idea! I hope you keep it up - maybe even after Lent Smile I'd really like to stop eating sugar permanently but feel like its going to be impossible!

Kat can you please reserve me a seat on the March bus? I'm now down for testing/AF 13th March but hopefully going to hold out until 20th!!

Miley sorry to hear you are feeling pap - lots of hugs for you. Maybe a walk will make you feel better? Just take a vom bag.

celizabe · 16/02/2016 10:52

Moose - break out the Vicks vaporub .... it worked for Monica Smile Smile Smile

Mooseville · 16/02/2016 10:50

Blimey this thread moves fast! Just when I start to think of a reply, another ten posts are there and I've forgotten what I was saying!
Sorry to hear about your Grandad miley and hope both he and you feel better soon.
Commiserations for the AF arrivals. Boooo.
I'm full of cold and taking a sick day laid on the sofa - needless to say that's not conducive to DTD. Feel like it could be like that episode of Friends where Monica has a cold and tries to seduce Chandler! Ha ha
Fingers crossed for all those symptom spotting!!

SuchaJem · 16/02/2016 10:48

starky night time omelette prep is so not cool. DH would get a right ear full from me if he tried that #naziwife

Dubbya · 16/02/2016 10:03

Also hello newbies! 👋🏻.

dino I've been doing crazy symptom spotting this week, including itchy skin and dry eyes. Was furiously googling yesterday, MUST STOP GOOGLING! Half term has given me too much time on my hands!

Dubbya · 16/02/2016 09:50

Miley best wishes for your grandad.

stark loving that Shrodinger meme!

snow that is so exciting!

kat thanks for the lists and loving the stats.

I think I'm out this month again, temp drop this morning and af due today. Sigh! Grumpy about it all now, especially as there seem to be loads of smug married's and pregnants everywhere at the moment (apart from on here, am actually so happy for the married's and bfps!). On that note, congratulations harriet! 🍾💍

celizabe · 16/02/2016 09:44

Hi Kat, AF is due on the 17th/18th from my calcs; rather than Ovia or MyCycle.

That makes sense with the 12dpo, was trying to figure out where Ovia was getting her info from (other than me of course!)

I'm actually on Cycle 2 and I'm aiming for conception no.2 but ttc for no.1 (MMC last July).

Phantom period sounds like a thing that I can latch onto Starky Smile Love to give everything a name Smile

StarkyTheDirewolf · 16/02/2016 09:36

I left him to it kat and just went to bed. It's his job to clean the kitchen so he'll have to scrape it all up tomorrow! The dog'so gone in to the vets have her little spot removed. I'm wondering if she'll need a cone of shame. Hope she's ok.

miley much love and positive thoughts for you and your grandad. Don't for a second feel guilty about being off work. You need it to keep you healthy!

celi ovia tells you to test starting at 12 dpo. Leave it for a couple of days and test again if you've not got af. You might be having a what I call phantom period! Where your body pretends it's going to have af, and then just doesn't. Or she's a week late. First cycle, we work ourselves up, the stress affects the body, no af. Either that or you might be pregnant Grin

OP posts:
KatOnATinRo0f · 16/02/2016 09:28

Cel when is your AF actually due? Sometimes ovia is a crazy bitch and tells you to test before that.

celizabe · 16/02/2016 09:20

So I caved and did a cheapy preggie test yesterday and got a BFN. According to Ovia I should be testing tomorrow. Still no further spotting since yesterday morning and no sign of AF yet ... This one has really got me flummoxed!!

KatOnATinRo0f · 16/02/2016 09:19

Stark If DH had been doing that in my our kitchen I'd probably have to get up and sort it out. The thought of the mess he'd be making would be too much. And whatever he made wouldn't be tasty either

Pug sorry about the witch ThanksWineChocolate for you

Miley Thanks** for granddad hope he gets better soon.

Snow you seem to know so much more than your cycle than me! I just pee on the sticks and assume I'm ovulating when I get a dark line or a bit after. I'm on CD9 and hardly even a second line yet... Pretty good as DH has refused dtd last 2 nights (I was planning on it every-day-until-BFP (I'm saying that instead of AF in case that positive thinking shit works)

stardusty5 · 16/02/2016 08:54

Sorry to hear that miley. Hope he is ok.

starky i applaud your patience! Hope this is your month!

Mileymoocow · 16/02/2016 08:41

Thanks for asking ladies. They're not sure what's wrong yet, he's been taken to a specialist unit (vomiting and severe stomach pains) and my grandma and mum are waiting for his blood results. It's a pretty glum day.

I need to take my poor pup out for his walk but I can't peel myself away from the toilet bowl. Add to that a headache and snotty nose and I'm slightly fed up today.

In the bright side, I've managed weetabix and so fat they're still on my stomach!

SuchaJem · 16/02/2016 08:36

Sorry about AF pug :(

Hope your grandpa is okay miley

Welcome dino, I'm 32 and ttc 1 too. Dry hands definitely count :)

Woke up at 530 needing the loo then had to go again at 7. Raging thirst and itchy skin. /addstolist

twinkydink · 16/02/2016 08:30

pug I feel your pain she is fully in the house here too! But look at positives another FW is just around the corner and my DP will actually be in the country for it!

Snow I am so jealous of your move, that's an area of the US I am desperate to visit! Do you both have work lined up out there? A

Feefeefs · 16/02/2016 08:26

That's amazing snow! Way more positives than AF!

Sorry the bitch got you pugmummy.

36% is amazing!!

Don't feel guilty miley you need to look after number 1.

Pinklily1 · 16/02/2016 08:20

Space, being bloated is very much a pg symptom!
