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

Congratulations hopeful.

I think you might have covered it confused. Yesterday's Doreen is well and truly past Hugh and on its way to meet your eggo.

Woo peaches!

After about 6 months, i finally went back to the gym to my old pilates class.

observations:

  1. my gym outfit/look now includes muffin top. My leggings must have shrunk right ? right ???? Hmm
  2. there are now 3 pregnant ladies in the class Sad

so much for helping take my mind off......

Haha I suppose so confused I'm reeeeally trying to regulate my emotional scale this cycle. Last cycle from 1dpo to about 8dpo I was half convinced we'd done enough to make something stick, and then when I woke up and my boobs were hurting I was crushed. And that really took the wind out of me, because I hadn't expected to feel so sad about it. That was a shock, to feel so sad. So whilst I'm still being mentally positive, I'm trying to stay realistic! Grin

Back from my hols that coincided with ISW, so really got my fingers crossed for this month (cycle #7 since mc).

8 dpo, AF due on Sunday, so trying to see how long i can hold out before i start testing. I have those super sensitive tests that claim you can test up to 4 days early but not sure if i trust them.

Been symptom spotting like a woman possessed this cycle, have had sore breasts since 4 dpo and have had lots of creamy CM, not sure if it means anything but it's different from usual!

Seems I have a lot to catch up on, maybe it will keep my mind distracted, even just for 5mins....

Confusedcat1 · 07/03/2016 11:42

Never fear sparkly, if one of your dhs doreens does manage the great marathon despite everything , that's going to be one strong little bubba! It will win every sports day! Grin

HepKestrel · 07/03/2016 11:37

congratulations peaches !

SuchaJem · 07/03/2016 11:35

Huzzah peaches 👑🌹💐🎉🎊🍼🍰 congratulations!

confused I like that! Sparkly Starky! I feel special and twinkly! 😀 we dtd 5 times on the bounce over isw, I still very much doubt there's owt happening in my nethers! So no fear, ill be on the next bus too! I'm not being a negative Nellie honest, just being realitic for me. his nutsack is useless but empty

It can, the positives on opk's only indicate that you are about to release an egg, not that there is one as there waiting for sperm to immediately impregnate. It can be up to 2 days before the egg is actually ready for its close up!

Congratulations peaches and hopeful! A good batch of grads this week :)

confused yes with DTD yesterday you've got your welcoming committee ready - they'll survive technically until Thursday. So if you can top up weds I'd say you're covered.

RaeSkywalker · 07/03/2016 11:20

Yay Peaches! Flowers

Confusedcat1 · 07/03/2016 11:12

sparkly starky hmmmm I hope my egg is late to the party this time! I just googled it and apparently it can survive a couple of days once it's plopped out, so hopefully the welcoming committee combined with some extra groupies on Wednesday will do the trick! If not, onward to the next bus Grin

Confusedcat1 · 07/03/2016 11:09

Woohoo peaches another grad! Congrats my dear!

Hopefulbabydust · 07/03/2016 11:06

Congrats hopeful

jem top marks to you and your OH 😆

lyssie that looks amazing! You ladies are talented! I'm a good cook, make great soups but alas my baking skills are less than basic.

moggy happy special birthday 🎂🎁🎈🎉 men are pretty rubbish at surprises. Hope you are feeling better today.

Soo...after my Internet cheapies bfn's and my dishing our of advice to try a better prissy stick I broke out my frer last night and I got a faint line! Tried my other frer this morning and it's a dud!! Did not work at all. So took another IC in my next week (fmu wasted on dud frer) and there is a very very fair to second line. Pics to follow......

confused If there's already Doreen up there then it will be the welcome committee for the egg (who I've been calling Vivian all weekend. The love triangle or Vivian, Doreen and Hugh.) And if you're having your surge now, don't forget you've got between 12-36 hours (some say more) before you produce an egg so all is not lost mate! You can squeeze some more in on Wednesday!

StarkyTheDirewolf · 07/03/2016 10:55

confused no, I just did 4 that day, to check 😆 just in case it was wrong! No basically I thought I'd got the surge when I hit the very dark ones the day before, so I kept doing opk's so I could see what times it was most strong. So the yellows were like 11 am, 2 pm, 7pm and 10 pm over the course of the day.

cat how frustrating for you! Sounds like you have given yourselves w good chance though?

Hopefulbabydust · 07/03/2016 10:41

Thank you! Not looking to much into it as its a internet cheapie & oh is telling me to wait until af is over due which is fair enough

Confusedcat1 · 07/03/2016 10:39

Congrats hopeful.

Hopefulbabydust · 07/03/2016 10:36
