Thread 10 ttc#1 The one where we're all really bored of hormones, the tww and cervical mucus or Why is my eggo not preggo!?

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?

I love the Schrödinger's cat meme! Grin
Snow I am so jealous!!! You should watch the BBC documentary called New England. I think on iPlayer. Jealous Jealous Jealous. I have done road trips in that area, but of course I won't remember a single name. I would move there is a second!! Sad
Kat my OH is allergic to cats (and dogs), so I dont even get that option.
Starky lol with your noisy bastard of a husband Grin
Miley hugs for grandpa Thanks
So.... Very very weird. I am usually so good at predicting my ov day with poas. But I change brand (to an even cheaper one) and I never got a surge. I got a dark line one day, but still a negative. Today my temp rose indicating I ovulated yesterday. This could be right as I sometimes ov on CD14, sometimes CD17. But my lutheal phase is 11 days so this would be another 25 days cycle like last month, which is weird as I only get those a few times a year. Strange.
On the plus side! We did have am AND PM! Grin sex on Saturday and then again on Sunday Grin so maybe????
Damn new pissy sticks. Like not. These are the ones

Currently in my 2ww and symptom spotting like a bitch. I'm now including "dry hands" "grumpy bitch" and "bloated" in my PG symptoms Grin

Moggysinger · 16/02/2016 07:45

Sorry pug FlowersWineChocolate stay positive, you're on to your next cycle! More chances to get upduffed are just around the corner

miley sorry to hear about your g'dad, hope he's okay. What was he rushed in with? Flowers

Pugmummy87 · 16/02/2016 06:50

The red witch has finally arrived. Sad

Mileymoocow · 16/02/2016 06:34

starky if it makes you feel better I'm having a day off work and feel incredibly guilty about it. My grandad got rushed to hospital last night and I've been puking my ring up since 3am. I need to catch up on sleep but I'm too worried/too nauseous

It's that time of the week when I could cheerfully lock Dh in a cupboard. He is, without a doubt the noisiest bastard ever! His sneezes rattle my very soul! And 1:47am is apparently the best time to crash about in the kitchen making a fucking omelette! And by making an omelette I mean, throwing egg juice the elusive kind of cervical mucus about and ruining my best non stick pan by scraping a fucking fork across it!

I can't murder him yet, I'm not pregnant! 😈

That's what I'd be doing kat seems like a sensible thing to use half. Maybe start squirting it up there from the beginning of fw? I'm literally crocheting with a dog the size of a catest on my lap. I told Dh his sperm are rubbish earlier, but that it's ok, because clearly my eggs are also rubbish! I'll test Sunday if af isn't here by then, just to placate everybody Grin

KatOnATinRo0f · 15/02/2016 23:01

Haha! Everyone's screaming at you to poas!
I've been here for so long. I think I might just sack off kids, and DH, crochet more and get a load of cats.
CD8 and not even hardly a hint of a second line on my OPK... COME ON EGG!!!
I have these fertility gel things... There's only 6 in the box (well 5 because of a failed attempt last month) ... When do I start using them??? And there is an awful lot in each one... Would it be really gross to use half one day and use the rest the next day? If that's okay then DH is in for a wet'n'wild 2 weeks! Blush

SuchaJem · 15/02/2016 22:43

Hurrah for 36%!!

snow how exciting, you'll have so many fab new places to explore from there.

StarkyTheDirewolf · 15/02/2016 22:41

36% that's brilliant! I feel like I've been here forever! I remember our first bfp! 😢 yep, ovia can fuck off with getting actual information kat I give her the minimum, she's been screaming at me to poas for a week!

OP posts:
ZazzlesTheCat2 · 15/02/2016 22:40

Yay kat stats are back! 36% is awesome!

snow sorry af is in full swing but yay about the move. Are all your family in the uk? Must be scary moving so far away!

ZazzlesTheCat2 · 15/02/2016 22:36

Typos again ffs

KatOnATinRo0f · 15/02/2016 22:36

Also according to THE LIST we are now 36.36% pregnant! Yay
(I am not considering the fact that some of the newbies aren't on the list yet, but I just want us to all enjoy this higher hit-rate for a bit. Come on we need more BFPs ladies!!)

ZazzlesTheCat2 · 15/02/2016 22:35

starky I love it 😂

Rebecca yes self examination, loads of pics etc via Google if you can stomach it 😷

jem no bloody idea what position means what. From what I've read it's s pretty crappy indicator of pregnancy as cerci positions can change through the day/through cycle. Once up duffed, some peoples cervix stay low for a while but others will raise. Final up duffed position I think is high until baby squishes it back down later in pregnancy.

All that yet I still touch myself up 5 times a day 😆

KatOnATinRo0f · 15/02/2016 22:33

Snow that's so exciting! What's the timeframe for moving over there?

KatOnATinRo0f · 15/02/2016 22:31

I use ovia only for purely functional reasons. Periods and sex. And OPK positive/negative IF I FEEL LIKE IT and not because she tells me to. None of the mood business. She can fuck off wanting to know that much about me.

Snowdog37 · 15/02/2016 22:25

Thanks for all the hugs and 💐 💗 Af is in the house and so I'm on cycle 4...
On the plus side I ovulate in 10-12 days, I can drink the huge bottle of Pinot Grigio in the fridge, we have a lawyer submitting all the paperwork for the states later this week (eek it's all happening so fast now but dh can transfer easily as he's a us citizen it's just my papers that are a pita!) so really it's all good! Moving to northern Massachusetts it looks like so if anyone knows anyone there I'd love a contact so I can start figuring out what where how etc. I'm so excited. After several longish holidays there it'll be amazing to live there!!!!

SuchaJem · 15/02/2016 22:24

moggy eod should be okay but j guess it can't hurt to bang another out tonight /sexy

My cervix is not that high. There goes my list 😔

StarkyTheDirewolf · 15/02/2016 22:15

Well, my box has been filled, so I hope there's a live cat in there. Insert joke about pussy, radioactive fluid and something else which I can't think of yet. Grin

kat Im not getting a star, I can kid myself and pretend but I was trying to cheat by opk-ing rather than poas-ing!

moggy don't tell her anything! I just put my moods in and period! She messes with your head! Just keep dtd as you have been, do opk's to track your surge. Good luck!

KatOnATinRo0f · 15/02/2016 22:08

Go moggy go!!!

Moggysinger · 15/02/2016 22:03

Errrrk so I told oviabitch I had EWCM and she just brought my ISW forward by 4 days!! Which means it ends today!! I am now feeling a bit mental, as have only been dtd EOD Confused ... Maybe its not enough?! So have demanded we shag tonight as well. Have to feel like we have given it best shot. Come on eggo lets get preggo!

KatOnATinRo0f · 15/02/2016 22:02

Stark that was uber quick meme finding! Well done! (Not sure if you get a StarstarkyStar though trying to catch a pregnancy on an OPK!!!

Rebecca yup... Get your finger up there, give it a prod!

If upduffed does it stay high rather than come back low like when AF is due? Is that right? I looked into it a while ago (online... Not in real life that would be crazy contortionism)
