Symptom spotters, tww - ers, slightly hysterical hormone laden ladies! Regs, lurkers, intermittent posters! Our raison d'etre is 'am I pregnant?'

Thread 11. Welcome one and all!
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.

Post your stats and add your dates. We have a register thanks to kats stats I have been dubbed the resident piss stick queen and if you don't test, you get a Starky's Star 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

I really thought we had nailed the timing this month. Excuse the pun.

Mooseville · 24/02/2016 17:16

Oh no. Sorry confused Sad

Confusedcat1 · 24/02/2016 16:57

I'm out :(

celizabe · 24/02/2016 14:59

Huge congratulations Choc Flowers

Feefeefs · 24/02/2016 14:25

Thanks sucha and miley.

I like your plan kat!

SuchaJem · 24/02/2016 13:56

I was there a few days ago confused. I hope it's not AF for you, but if it is, I actually felt so much better when mine came and I got my head around it and moved on mentally to next cycle.

Mooseville · 24/02/2016 13:51

You're not out till you're out confused but sending Wine and Chocolate just in case!

Mooseville · 24/02/2016 13:49

Thanks choc No chance of seeing it through my tubby tummy then! Ha ha
It was actually through some random mumsnet post I was reading that got me curious about early scans. Not sure I'd fancy an internal one unless it was needed medically, not sure why, just seems a risk that's pointless to take? Even though they say there's no risk.... Completely moot point as I'm not even pregnant yet - it's amazing how quickly your life gets consumed by anything baby related when TTC!

Confusedcat1 · 24/02/2016 13:35

I've got such bad cramps. No period yet but I'm pretty sure it means I'm out. Feel pretty shitty.

SkiAngel · 24/02/2016 12:11

Hi ladies, just caught up on all the posts! Congratulations to all the BFP's!

My cycles have me very confused right now so not really sure what cycle day I'm on for sure. Since I stopped my pill I've had 25days, 32days and then 18days earlier this month! Has anyone else had a cycle that short? I had very light brown discharge for 5 days, then 3 days of bleeding (not very heavy), then a couple of days of very slight pink spotting a few days later. So I'm unsure whether to count the brown discharge as a cycle day... Think I'm now on CD15 of cycle 1 ..This TTC stuff is very complex Wink

Wishing you all BFP's!

Chocaholic88 · 24/02/2016 11:42

moose nope just a standard transabdominal one :) little pumpkin seed popped up as clear as day (however I am a size 4-6 so maybe that's why it was so easy to see haha - I also felt my two previous children move earlier than usual in pregnancy because I'm diddy lol)

iwillbemrsminty · 24/02/2016 11:40

Ladies just been catching up with the posts, not been on for a few days! AF been and gone again, on CD7 now. Can I join the March bus please kat for the 17th? DP is on a week of 11 hour night shifts from 8pm til 7am and I'm full time working 8am til 5pm so dtd isn't happening much! Sad

Mooseville · 24/02/2016 11:38

Upduffed not updated! Stupid iPhone correct!

Mooseville · 24/02/2016 11:38

Congrats choc Great pic!!
Was the scan an internal one? I've been reading about early scans (why as I'm not even updated yet, I don't know!) and they seem to all be internal scans until after 8-10 weeks?

Chocaholic88 · 24/02/2016 10:43

That's a possibility a couple of people have said kat don't know if it's possible but if it is, then I think that's what happened!

miley Kiwi Yoghurt out of your nose? Grim 😂😂 my nausea went... but today is definitely lurking. Nothing major though thankfully, I'm finding it a tad reassuring - it's there so I know everything is going well but it's not keeping me trapped in the bathroom lol!

Mileymoocow · 24/02/2016 10:32

Lol at access to LL! Grin

MN has definitely been my saviour through ttc and early preg. You lot are brilliant

KatOnATinRo0f · 24/02/2016 10:29

I am loving "access to LL" lol

... Choc... Do u think u had a seed but it didn't take up root, and then get another one a few weeks later? If so you and your DH must be super duper fertile!

I am post-o and have mildly tender boobs so I know not getting another pos OPK. Next month my tactic is - nothing. No OPK, no temping, no ovia ing, no stressing. No thinking about it, I'm just going to dtd like a normal person when I'm not bleeding. That's the way to get upduffed I reckon.

Hep154 · 24/02/2016 10:13

miley lol!

I am loving all the bfps and updates from the graduates!
I find the pg discussions in rl much harder.

just had a look at my calendar this month.

Am on cd10, and i will have access to LL from cd11 to cd21. Really hope its not a 37 day cycle again ....

Mileymoocow · 24/02/2016 10:06

Oh jem I'm 100% it'll soon be you spewing kiwi yogurt out of your nostrils.

SuchaJem · 24/02/2016 09:22

So envious of these tales of pregnancy! Sad Can't wait to join you guys.

Chocaholic88 · 24/02/2016 09:10

I've come back to bed after the school run. We told the kids last night. It was quite possibly the most amazing experience ever, they were so excited, OH and I just stared at each other grinning. Then my 6 yr old went off to make a list of baby names and my 3 yr old went to draw the baby a picture. Bless them!

Incidentally my dates tie in with that positive opk I got back in the middle of January... however... that doesn't explain the original positives or the weeks of morning sickness?! Lol!

Mileymoocow · 24/02/2016 09:02

confused I'm still in bed at 9am for the first time in about 3 years!

OH has booked me in for a surprise early scan a week today (I'll be 8+2). He said its to give me something to look forward to and take my mind off the sickness. He's so lovely.

feefs you sound promising Wink

SuchaJem · 24/02/2016 08:20

Fingers massively crossed feefs

SuchaJem · 24/02/2016 08:20

Yep pretty much elle :) any tactics for you this cycle? I'm going to try opks. Better stock up on GU

Feefeefs · 24/02/2016 08:17

Still in the pit. Trying to remain positive! No usual PMS symptoms no sore boobs, not weepy-tits but I am narky, gassy and funny tummy. AF due Friday-Monday averaging cycles. I think I will test say
