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

Everyone seems a bit down today so here's a picture of a rat with a teddy in a pram!

Feefeefs · 24/02/2016 19:54

I think in going to buy opks to try and work out if I'm even ovulating

Lyssie · 24/02/2016 19:54

I think my faint positive a couple days ago was a fluke. None since, but I am in horrendous pain. I don't think I've ever had a worse 6 days of total pain. A few hours ago I had one tiny glob of pinkish CM(not normal, but what is?). and still no actual blood. I should start today. Almost definitely out, not very hopeful.

Feefeefs · 24/02/2016 19:53

It's just the panic! Logically I know no risk. Looking back at it there was no possibility I would have ended up pregnant! But was 19 and terrified and so was he.

Just a bit fed up and sick of it all trying to stay positive trying to pretend to DH I'm not that bothered and still sane. His unerring belief that it's all fine. My last three years of the pill/impalanon were horrific too just a bit angry today. And even more pissed off knowing that is my PMS FFS

Pyxie · 24/02/2016 19:51

I think I might join you ladies on the no opks next cycle. I always feel a bit stressed until I get a positive, and that's not gonna help things is it!

No kat after a quick and frightening Google, There's no evidence that suggests even repeated use of the MAP can cause any kind if infertility.

KatOnATinRo0f · 24/02/2016 19:38

Ever and feef ... Do you know what? A month off of even "trying" and DTD... Might actually be quite nice.

KatOnATinRo0f · 24/02/2016 19:37

what's that about the mornings after pill? It can't make you infertile can it??

I am SO on board with the being miserable you guys! Do I eat too much salt? Is it because he weight trains? Is it his sperm or my eggs not playing ball? Is it his supplements? But amino acids increase sperm quality so if must be my eggs? Should I start doing the bum in the air after dtd because even though there's no evidence it works it's worth a go? 😢😡😭😔😓

But the overwhelming thing is that I'm SOOOOO glad I've got mn because if I was going slowly psychotic on my own I'd be insufferable!

KatOnATinRo0f · 24/02/2016 19:35

Jem AF is literally like a kick in the guts!!!!

KatOnATinRo0f · 24/02/2016 19:35

I'm sorry cat
It's all about conceiving in March anyway.
Stark that's exactly what I'm thinking. All this OPK and writing everything down and all that- no difference. Just have sex. Just as much chance of it catching.
I wanted to use OPKs to check I was actually ovulating after stopping the pill. I am, I get a pos OPK mid cycle.
And my boobs HURRTTTTT bet ov and AF. Next month I'm going in blind. I might actually delete ovia.

Evergreen15 · 24/02/2016 19:18

I am doing the same
Did we leave it too long? Is it because he has so many allergies? Is my LPhase too short? Is it because I atr McDonalds in the past? Is it just my bloody fucking luck???!!!
Deep breath

KatOnATinRo0f · 24/02/2016 19:17

Hi all... Have just seen the last few messages and think that I better scroll up as it looks like something I can join in with....

Mileymoocow · 24/02/2016 19:16

Nooooo no no no no ladies! Stop this. You can't give up. It WILL happen to you and it'll be worth all the heartache and pain and bitter disappointment. Chins up and stay strong. We're all here for you

Feefeefs · 24/02/2016 19:15

I'm blaming everyone and everything! I wonder if it's DH swimmers he had a hydrocele on his testicle as a teenager, I once took the morning after pill ?around 10 years ago is it my fault?

Evergreen15 · 24/02/2016 18:56

So Unfair

Evergreen15 · 24/02/2016 18:56

Feefs absolutely I don't really enjoy dtd much anyway (used to when younger/OH never initiates and he is not very confident) so good for bloody nothing
My eggos are rubbish

Feefeefs · 24/02/2016 18:49

Ha ha ever good for nothing!!!

It is really really fucking unfair

Evergreen15 · 24/02/2016 18:42

Confused this is yet another month in which I want to give up.
I know it all (can take up to a year blah blah FREAKING BLAH). But reality is that once again is unfair. And how is it fair that some people get pregnant so quickly and the rest have to fight?
I am tired and angry. Yep. Another month of this. I can tell AF is coming this weekend. If so I am pretty sure I will give up.
Kat next month I might actually skip even the dtd, it is good for nothing

Feefeefs · 24/02/2016 18:32

Sorry confused I know what you mean. Me and DH are taking a break March/April so no Christmas baby but kinda looking forward to the break.

I cracked and did an Internet cheapie bfn not fmu and too early but still upset! Just want AF now and get over it. I wish I could understand why it's not happening

SuchaJem · 24/02/2016 18:20

Ah cat I know what you mean, I felt so sure about this cycle too. Getting your period is like a kick in the guts, plus it hurts so much and makes you low and weepy.

Be kind to yourself try not to think about it for a few days. I'm a few days into my period now and feeling a bit better already.

StarkyTheDirewolf · 24/02/2016 17:40

Know exactly what you mean cat I'm sick of it too now. The endless circle of the build up, the opk's, the dtd, the hope, the wait, the disappointment. It's getting me down too. And it's starting to grate a bit. I'm not bothering charting, opking etc, I think i'm hoping that if I don't pay any attention to it then ill magically catch! Some kind of subconscious conception!

OP posts:

Hep154 · 24/02/2016 17:38

really sorry confused

Confusedcat1 · 24/02/2016 17:33

I actually feel like giving up. I know that's not encouraging or what people want to hear but when every woman around me gets pregnant first time (or claims to) it gets you down.

StarkyTheDirewolf · 24/02/2016 17:29

I'm sorry confused af sucks. I thought that too last cycle, couldn't have timed it better or had more sex! Be kind to yourself and have a chilled few days before resuming dtd business.
