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

Patches so sorry darling! Praying for a sticky baby for you.

Kwick709 · 22/02/2016 21:08

FX I am so sorry for your awful news Flowers You are NOT being selfish!

iPatches · 22/02/2016 21:06

Jem me too Sad

SuchaJem · 22/02/2016 21:00

How bizarre. Fingers crossed for you patch hope one catches.

iPatches · 22/02/2016 20:58

Lyssie I had an early mc after bfp last month, started bleeding heavily which lasted a number of days. Also had negative OPKs earlier this cycle.

Lyssie · 22/02/2016 20:55

Patches and you're 100% certain you're not pregnant?

iPatches · 22/02/2016 20:54

Jem - we have definitely been trying to catch one! I just don't really know what's happening. Last cycle, when we did conceive, I had one and only one positive OPK. Now I have 5 on 3 consecutive days...!

SuchaJem · 22/02/2016 20:48

irregular I have been before - it is an incredible place isn't it? It's one of my fave places in the world. I'm very lucky and get to go with my DH for his job every now and then.

ipatches ooh that's strange, are you DTD to try and catch one? Wasn't sure where you were with trying.

iPatches · 22/02/2016 20:39

Feefeefs - ignoring that even one baby slightly terrifies me but wouldn't they be released on the same day

Feefeefs · 22/02/2016 20:35

Maybe two eggs ipatches?

iPatches · 22/02/2016 20:35

Okay so I have had another TWO positive OPKs today.
Basically:

Sat 2pm - positive OPK #1
Sat 6pm - positive OPK #2 (y'know, just to double check...Blush)
Sun 6pm - positive OPK #3
Mon 8am - positive OPK #4
Mon 7pm - positive OPK #5

This cannot be right!! Confused

LillianFullStop · 22/02/2016 20:02

kat I have an update I went to see the dentist today for a check up and clean and in the form I had to say I was upduffed. she was very sweet about it except she looked at me tentatively and asked if I had morning sickness because I can see how sticking dental tools inside a nauseous woman's mouth could be an occupational hazard Smile

Almost entirely off topic here, but sooo jealous of your Cape Town trip Jem. I was there late 2014 and absolutely love it, love it, love it. One of my best friends moved there to do her masters about 7yrs ago and has lived there ever since. Feel free to give me a shout if you want any visit tips if it's somewhere you've not been before.

Lyssie · 22/02/2016 19:34

Miley
I think I'm 12dpo(approx). I felt like I ovulated right when Clue(the period app) said I was going to, which I hardly thought would happen.

bluebird3 · 22/02/2016 19:09

miley needing to be waxed eyelashes to ankles!! Hahaha!! I'm with you there. My dh now notices when they're smooth as the odd day out instead of when they're hairy! Blush

Fx for you lyssie sounds you're on the right track! Looking forward to your pic of a beautiful bfp tomorrow!

stardusty5 · 22/02/2016 19:08

lyssie fx for you, that sounds really positive!

Cd18 here, another strong positive opk and ewcm so dh has his orders. Managed twice yesterday as he was too pissed to be of any use on saturday! Hope his swimmersweren't quite as hungover! Confused

Sending in reinforcements.

Ni4444 · 22/02/2016 18:21

Thanks for that Feefs! Spotted a bag of Brazil nuts that needs to be used up in the baking stuff yesterday so we shall be sharing those now!!

Mileymoocow · 22/02/2016 18:12

lyssie how many dpo are you?

jem epic summary. Thanks for that!

How's everyone doing? I'm going to shave my legs tonight for the first time in about 3 weeks. I'm getting hairier than OH and need waxed from my eyelashes to my ankles. So not sexy.

Lyssie · 22/02/2016 18:01

I really hope that invisible line I saw today was for real... I vommed in the super market parking lot on the way to get ginger ale and saltines! Had to call in sick at the bakery today. I'm either harboring a little one or I now have the periods from Hell.

Feefeefs · 22/02/2016 17:54

Excellent summary sucha

I keep meaning to post also for those that like extra vitamins etc. There is a biochem professor in my work who is very interested in work on selenium, it's a bit of a buzz word in clinical nutrition as deficiency associated with a few things including stomach and gullet cancer.

Anyway, low level deficiency is also associated with infertility in men and women particularly in those who have experienced repeated miscarriage. It's low in most people's diet and vitamin supplements of it are not well absorbed and the dosage is hard to get right as too much can stop absorption of other minerals.

Anywho long story short, try and eat 2-4 Brazil nuts a week, and make your partner do the same (obvs nut allergies aside)

SuchaJem · 22/02/2016 17:22

Ummmmm first is up the duff, moose got a well timed shag in, Lyssie had a faint line tbc.
BFNs for spacedino and confused and me.

I am probably missing lots, this is just the top of my tiny brain.

KatOnATinRo0f · 22/02/2016 17:14

Hi all haven't had a chance to catch up yet, hope everyone is okay
Any chance someone can summarise what I've missed??

stark i think you'd have to join as an officer and then apply once you're in to be a gym instructor so it wouldn't be a quick process. Sorry to hear about his brother, but at least he'd have a full understanding of how difficult it can be for prisoners at times? I don't work there now like I say, but if he does apply feel free to dm me and I might be able to find out some recent info on the application centres, they usually feature round role plays (normally calming down an angry man which I suspect he would be brilliant at anyway!)

Its funny you say that because he'said been looking into that moose he fancies the prison service but it's just getting his head round it his db died in prison but I think it might be a good move. He's been a personal trainer but it's so hard to make a living from now, gyms aren't set up for individuals to succeed. The gym instructor within a prison though, I'd never thought of that! Thank you Grin
