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

Ooh new thread! We are racing through them!!

I'm Kat
28 years old
TTC#1
Cycle 7, In 2ww, day 20-something.
Testing/AF mar 7th

I'll get the list out in a bit and you can tell me of anything amended!

I am not going to use ovia, OPKs or prod my cervix next month. I'm going to have sex when we want to because we want to not because we have to. 7 cycles of stressing is taking its toll. Bored now. Lol

Welcome to newbies!

jem we usually dtd every other day anyway, so I'm just planning in keeping that up if possible! If not, I'm not going to get upset about it. With dh training so much his sperm won't be optimum anyway for the next few months. So I'm not putting the pressure on myself now! Still taking folic acid and having a multi vitamin but the supplements he takes probably won't do us any favours. So I'm not stressing.

Although I saw ndn earlier with her lovely little bump and will admit I teared up briefly.

Ending cycle number 3 due to test end extra weekend, hopefully after won't show.
Also bought pre-seed and forgot I had it.
After clinging on to every little twinge, feeling, smell etc.. last month I'm trying (probably failing) to keep a lid on the madness this month.
Fx ladies xx

Hi all,

I joined the relaxed March/April thread but realised it was probably over optimistic to focus on a specific month!

Stats: Inspector, 35, TTC #1, Cycle 1, CD 12 although it is my first month off the pill after 17 years so it's probably not a typical CD12. Absolutely no idea what my body is going to do now it's flying solo :-/

We've not had the easiest start to TTC. As life would have it I've had to come back home this week because of a serious family illness so I've been away from DP and pretty stressed out and upset for the last few days. Things are thankfully looking a bit better now but I won't get home until tomorrow which, if (big if!) my cycle is a normal one should probably be the best day to have sex.

We shall see what happens but I am definitely not getting into temping/OPKs/early testing for a while yet!

Good luck to everyone and I hope there are lots of positive results headed to you all :)

Never temped or done opks, just try to dtd as much as possible during isw.

Sounds good starky, what's your DTD strategy?

I'm planning on trying opks for the first time this cycle, and hoping for third time lucky xx
