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?

Ah yes was going to mention the cervix thing. Perfectly happy to check it out but have no idea what I'm looking for. What kind of cervix indicates unduffedness?

SuchaJem · 15/02/2016 21:42

kwick insane sex week!! That made me laugh out loud

zazz it is a long list 😌 I've been a bit mental this time. The closer it creeps to my due date the more I feel like I've been kidding myself and that AF is coming though. Le sigh

rebeccajones · 15/02/2016 21:41

Evening all

I am ttc cycle #1. Test in 6 days. I have felt so weird all weekend.

There has been a bit in conversation about where the cervix is and how it feels. Is this a self examination?

Kwick709 · 15/02/2016 21:09

Thanks Starky.. I should have been able to guess both of those!!! I am okay thanks for asking - it is so nice to be at home and not on a business trip somewhere... although spent the afternoon interrogating questioning employees regarding a fraud case... always intense and energy sapping. I really appreciate your way of doing things - you seem to have worked out way to cause minimal angst...

Oh crap... just watching recording of The Bacherlorette and I think Desiree is going to boot out the wrong man!!!!

I cried my eyes out last night - watched About Time and then Call the Midwife. TMI alert - at one point I got gungy blood coming out of nose... think it is to do with hormone nasal spray Hmm

ZazzlesTheCat2 · 15/02/2016 21:07

starky Schrödinger's cat logic Grin. You don't know until you open that box Grin. I'm far too impatient. Respect.

jem wow that's a long list! Sounds really positive too. This is tmi - but I think I had a teeeeny bit of blood on my cervix earlier. Nothing on tissue though. Feel a bit 😷 thinking about it now.
Are you tracking cervix position?

StarkyTheDirewolf · 15/02/2016 21:00

kwick evening primrose oil. And intense sex week...or fw Grin how are you today?

I cant zazz because then ill know I'm not preggers, and will be disappointed until af arrives, this way I'm only disappointed when af shows up! Grin

sorry have a memory like a sieve - what is EPO again? and ISW? insane sex week? Confused

Chocaholic88 · 15/02/2016 20:50

zazzles I'm always on fb too as part of our business relies on good social media interaction (I've become quite the whiz!) But I looooooooove WhatsApp. That's why I said about anyone DM me their number if they're not fussed as I never go awol on WhatsApp hahaha xx

Kwick709 · 15/02/2016 20:47

FXSkip I am not exactly a lenter - instead of taking something away I am trying to do a sun salutation every morning - so far so good :)

SuchaJem · 15/02/2016 20:40

zazzles any excuse to indulge in symptom turmoil Grin

With you on the sore boobs, and I've had tummy cramps for 4-5 days. Don't usually get these so hopes are massively up. 6dpo got a tiny spot of pink blood on tissue - cue massively obsessive tissue inspection.

Otherwise been moody (extreme) and very emotional, ridiculously horny, vivid dreams. Also gassy and constipated.

What am I missing? Oh yeah - a sodding bfp. Come on eggo...

ZazzlesTheCat2 · 15/02/2016 20:35

starky just start peeing on proper pissy sticks and put yourself out of your misery woman Grin

Ni4444 · 15/02/2016 20:32

Catching up again..you lot like your chat!!

Island thanks for sharing your story...Your DH sounds lovely...and I love the sound of your wedding! I think that's half the problem...OH has never had friends take that approach-all of his did the big white thing. He thinks it's only that or Vegas -doesn't realise there's a whole range of options in between. Guess I need to find a way to educate him!

Ps...I've just started taking EPO too...2000mg a day (they say you can take up to 3000 I believe). Can anyone say when (if?!) they noticed CM change after starting EPO?

Kwick709 · 15/02/2016 20:30

Starky thank you so much for Great Sperm Race link. Gulp! I am actually quite relieved after seeing that that I am having IVF!!! The poor sperm... blimey what a palaver!!! So pleased my magic potion will have a helping hand!!!!

I am loving the proposal stories... I am such a romantic!!!

StarkyTheDirewolf · 15/02/2016 20:25

zazz I agree, I'm clutching at straws! Grin 16 dpo, cd 33, it's killing me now. And still at least another 6 days to go, maybe another 10 days going off longest cycle. 😢

ZazzlesTheCat2 · 15/02/2016 20:22

jem its going to be fun swapping symptoms this week, fuck it, I'm going all out obsessive Grin

Having cramps today. Cervix still low and soft. Boobs are killing!! (Maybe DH just copped a handful whilst I was sleeping!)

SuchaJem · 15/02/2016 20:21

I just cracked an egg whilst cooking my evening meal and instantly thought EWCM. This is taking over my brain.

Sorry you're feeling low mi, hope you get more in the mood for isw

Big fan of whatsapp too, apart from I'm on a group with my teammates at work and one of them has a tendency to talk shop on the weekends. Not cool 🙄

ZazzlesTheCat2 · 15/02/2016 20:16

Poo, apols for the typos!

ZazzlesTheCat2 · 15/02/2016 20:16

starky - that's cheating!! Grin you can't pee on an opk and still get a starky star 😜

mi sorry you're fed up. First cycle is the hardest noun intended either

kat loving the determination!! My fingers are crossed for you this cycle :)

choc and stark I literally live on whatsapp and fb, mumsnet, ff

ZazzlesTheCat2 · 15/02/2016 20:10

Ah pug could be good news. When is af due?

Slowly catching up with all the new posts from this morning!....

Pugmummy87 · 15/02/2016 19:41

Well I am now anything from 14-17dpo. Really thought af was starting this morning, mild cramps within a few minutes of waking started and a much more red discharge. Again, it's come to nothing. Just want the cow to make an appearance now, I have raging pmt, so I know she's on her way.

Stark I pmsl at the image of a sperm sat at the cervix shouting 'I volunteer as tribute!' 😂

StarkyTheDirewolf · 15/02/2016 19:20

No, I haven't tested yet, I'm on 16 dpo. Grin I was considering poas-ing at 20 dpo (friday) but now I've got cramps I might not bother. I did an opk last night though because I need to pee on SOMETHING but it was a definite negative, not even a smidgen of a second line, and I always get a second line, so if I was producing pregnancy hormone it would pick up on that. You know what I'm like! Grin

Feel free to pm me Kat if you want any more. I have a load from Amazon unopened that I'd be happy to post on.

miwelaisjacydo · 15/02/2016 19:17

Hi all hope everyone is in good spirits? Am feeling a bit down today am fed up to be honest although dtd is usually fun I find when ovulating that it becomes a chore because of the pressure and that there is a lot riding on it.
no pun intended
Am just fed up which is silly as am only on cycle two.

KatOnATinRo0f · 15/02/2016 19:15

You don't know that!!! How many more days? Testing on Saturday??
