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

And yes feefs the FRER is so much clearer than the IC, even though they're the same sensitivity, allegedly.

Mileymoocow · 17/02/2016 15:48

Promising, sucha! When are you due to test?

LaraG13 · 17/02/2016 15:47

Thank you! I don't believe it yet at all really.

For those interested I had no symptoms whatsoever. But DH, upon seeing the test result, said 'that's interesting, I thought your nipples looked odd yesterday'. Thanks love. Bigger, he meant, but I didn't notice myself.

I took EPO this month for the first time because I lack CM. Still didn't get any noticeable EWCM this month, so it looks like you don't need a lot!

Mooseville · 17/02/2016 15:40

Congrats lara!

OMG Sucha that is a definite sign!!!!!

Planeteer · 17/02/2016 15:30

ThanksStarStarStar
Checking in.
Planet, currently harbouring a peppercorn of 5+3 if my dates are about right, which they may well not be!

Today is first day bloating was too bad for skinny jeans. Consequently wearing green dress which for reasons known only to myself I have paired with bright purple tights. Look like I should be on Sesame Street!!

Feefeefs · 17/02/2016 15:28

Congratulations lara! Good the frers are so much better aren't they! So much clearer.

My hopes are officially up this cycle due to The successful completion of ISW! Confused

SuchaJem · 17/02/2016 15:25

Just sipped my tea AND IT TASTED METALLIC

Hello all, and welcome newbies! Lara FX for you, I can't see anything personally so eagerly await the results of FMU with FRER.
Allow me to reintroduce myself...

It's fascinating isn't it miley? The interview with the mum is worth a watch. It does sound like he had quite a normal upbringing - but it's then so hard to understand how he came to do what he did.

So over 2ww why does mother nature do this to us WHY

Mileymoocow · 17/02/2016 13:43

jem I read the book about columbine. I'm obsessed with true crime serial killer/massacre stuff not in a dodgy way don't worry. I couldn't even give my dog wrong for digging the garden this morning I'm too soft

I've been off sick for 2 days and have decided that I'm definitely going to have to get Netflix back for maternity leave. Day time tv is dire!

SuchaJem · 17/02/2016 13:05

elle I didn't watch it as was busy watching the interview with the columbine killers mum on news night. Have got post partum psychosis on record. I watch such cherry telly 😌

Welcome newbies may the fertile forces be with you.

Mileymoocow · 17/02/2016 13:00

lara I think I see it too! Grin

Hi newbies! Hope you have a short, successful journey

Pyxie · 17/02/2016 12:58

I see it Lara, congratulations!

LaraG13 · 17/02/2016 12:42

Feel a bit crazy for posting these as think I might be imagining a second line where there isn't one. Can any of you see the faintest of second lines here? I'm 11-12dpo and it wasn't FMU (sorry starky)

Can i join in too?

Age 36
TTC #1
Cycle 4
CD 3

Last cycle was really frustating for me.

After coming off the pill, my cycle was super regular. So when i got to 8 days late, i was really getting my hopes up (despite doing my best not to.....).
OH was fantastically supportive whilst i was clearly distracted.

I was irregular before going on the pill. So not sure if my irregular ways are returning, or if it was a one-off cycle. Anyway, hope is back!

Good luck to everyone on this thread, and lets have lots of enjoyable bonking!

SkiAngel · 17/02/2016 11:59

Hi all,

Can I join? About me...

Age 33
TTC #1
Cycle 1
CD 3 (I think, does brown discharge count?)

I've been lurking for a while but this will be the first month we've been in the position to TTC. Came off the pill 3 months ago and been a bit irregular since!

Age 33
TTC #1 (MMC July '15)
Cycle 2, Day 30
14 dpo

So Ovia says I should've tested yesterday (I didn't!) and MyCycle says I should test tomorrow. My shortest cycle over the past 6 months was 28 days and the longest was 35 so I'm going to try to wait until Sunday (big fat never going to happen!!).

Had some brown spotting on Monday and nothing since but feeling a little crampy today so AF could well be on the way now (which would be bang on time). If so, I'm fully prepped with my brand new basal thermometer and a jumbo Costco sized bag of wide width OPK sticks all ready for next FW and some incessant dh-riding!!!

Good luck everybody Smile x
