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

Thread 12. Welcome!

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

We don't have rules as such but expect to be talked down from the ledge with kind and well meaning but firm words if you get too hysterical. But most importantly don't convince yourself your pregnant in the tww

Flowers kat

KatOnATinRo0f · 02/03/2016 02:04

:'( can feel twangs of AF and not due till Saturday. Also just realised we are out next month already as we are away for my entire ISW somewhere we can't dtd. Good planning, huh!! (This has woken me up in the night so obviously I am more stressed about this whole thing than I thought I was as this is something that didn't even occur to me in waking hours). Oh well... Better just enjoy the holiday and start again in April!! (FFS)

StarkyTheDirewolf · 02/03/2016 01:22

Oh and welcome to all newbies! Forgot to say that earlier!

I'm exhausted! I've got to get up tomorrow and make a cake for dfs birthday tea! Dh just sent me a text to tell me he's at work and his balls are cold, but he's deliberately not warming up because he thinks cold balls will produce excellent sperm! He's a keeper! Grin

That's my problem at the minute patches with dh on such a strict diet I've let my own nutrition go massively and while Im making him chicken, rice and veg in multiple batches, I can't he arsed doing something for me so I'll either have soup (which I make and freeze) or noodles!

God knows if that's right kat I thought 30% on first cycle was really high too. Googled average no of cycles to get pregnant and that's what came up - not terribly scientific I'm afraid.

Kwick709 · 01/03/2016 22:10

Good girl pug - glad you took heed of my stern look Grin

miley you had best share the scan piccy

Kwick709 · 01/03/2016 22:03

Welcome kav!

KatOnATinRo0f · 01/03/2016 21:57

Hi all. Catching up on 24 hrs of posts.
Got a bit :( at jem's stats... If 89% get pregnant in 6 months I am really beginning to be concerned I am infertile.

Haven't read any further back than that. Anything exciting happen???

Would love to see the scan miley

Feefeefs · 01/03/2016 21:24

Nah berocca does nothing but make expensive pee. That's why you see it bright yellow! Vitamin C and B vitamins are water soluble so once you have enough you pee the rest out, most of the soluble vitamin C tablets do nothing and can also give you diarrhoea

iPatches · 01/03/2016 21:04

Rosie - I occasionally get more craps on one side just before AF arrives, but that's about one day before she shows up and they are mild period pains, not sudden, sharp pains.

We shall see. I certainly don't "feel" pregnant (last time I did, I knew before I got the BFP) but equally I don't have my usual PMS symptoms. I think perhaps this will just be a longer cycle than normal, which can only delay things further. FRUSTRATED.

Didn't realise Berroca did that to your wee! I'm not big on suppliments, does it work? I have obviously been taking folic acid whilst TTC but prefer not to take vitamins etc. as I'd rather get nutrients through food otherwise I would eat only supernoodles

StarkyTheDirewolf · 01/03/2016 21:03

It was me! And yes aldi berocca make your wee day-glo neon! Grin
Happy Saint David's Day guys! St Davids

I had nausea for a couple of days but it's gone now so I'm sure that it was a virus. I think that DH and I are both a little disappointed! Went to a circuits class tonight to burn some of the angst off- AF is due Saturday. I will probably test Saturday morning as I'm supposed to be going out for Wine on Saturday night with a friend. Supposed to be meeting her new boyfriend which I think will be a bit difficult for various reasons!

vixarooni · 01/03/2016 21:02

I'm due on the day before ipatches exactly the same boat you are in, minus the ovary pain!!

pug it just freaked me out a little that dip! I've disregarded it from the others, my temp doesn't seem to move around too much.

RaeSkywalker · 01/03/2016 20:58

miley please share!

Mileymoocow · 01/03/2016 20:57

Ok providing everything is fine I'll share as long as it's not too upsetting for anyone.

pug I used to take the cheap aldi version for a hangover and it definitely does give you nuclear piss. It's quite frightening!

elle he is very sweet but he doesn't understand why I'm still nervous.

He reckons because I haven't bled then everything's fine. He obviously isn't as friendly with Google as I am! My cousin has just announced she's having a girl! I'm over the moon as my other cousin had a little boy on 1st Feb so either way my bubba is going to have a play mate.

SincerelyRosie · 01/03/2016 20:56

iPatches someone said to be more cramps or sharp pains on one side could be implantation.

Hep154 · 01/03/2016 20:56

I can confirm the berroca yellow pee!

Ni4444 · 01/03/2016 20:47

Miley we want to see your scan and share in your excitement!! 😉

Pugmummy87 · 01/03/2016 20:42

I would like to see your scan too Miley

Thanks Elle, felt a lot better today. I know what you mean about not even getting time to pee either!

Was it Stark that said she takes Berroca? And that it turns your pee luminous? I started taking it a couple of days ago and my pee is luminous yellow!

Hep154 · 01/03/2016 20:22

Your scan would cheer me up miley

Pugmummy87 · 01/03/2016 20:10

I wouldn't worry too much about one dip in temp on its own vix, it's more the trend you need to look at. Some say you can get an implantation dip?

Feefeefs · 01/03/2016 20:08

I'd love to see your scan miley! I know I was upset about my friends scan but mostly just due to the complex nature of friendships! I'm so happy for all on here as I know how hard we've all worked.

Thanks Elle. Feeling a bit better now it's disappointing. Hope to be in the 80%.

iPatches · 01/03/2016 20:06

Miley - scan is good Smile. I am one of the people who has been pretty down this month but would absolutely love to share in your happiness (though I will be jealous!)

Can't keep up on this thread; congrats to everyone who has had good news, whether that be a BFP or just a good day!

So I had 3 days of positive OPKs this month so not really sure when I ovulated. Assuming the middle day, I am now 9dpo. AF is due Friday. I have no usual PMS symptoms but equally no pregnancy symptoms. I am exhausted but I think that's because I haven't slept well for the last 2 nights, probably only getting 3-4 hours of sleep.

I did have an sudden, sharp pain which lasted only about 30 seconds yesterday morning. It was sort of around my left ovary. It was really painful and quite hard to keep talking (I was in the middle of a conversation). That hasn't happened before. I haven't felt anything since. Confused
