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

Thanks Kwick! I'm in Suffolk. I think I'm out on a limb here in East Anglia- seems like everyone else is south coast/ the north?

Managed a quickie 😁

pug I'm so sorry, like ni said, everyone has their limits. And anxiety is a beast to live with (for the person and their people.) He needs to seek help, or indeed, if he's already having help, he needs to up the dosage (medication or talk therapy wise). Anxiety can really impact your relationship and he needs to recognise that you're struggling too, you can't carry two people. Flowers

Pug you are quite right to be upset. I'm sure you're supporting him as much as you can, asking for a few small jobs in the house is totally reasonable! I know where you're coming from, I had a bit of a go at my DP this morning. I'm doing all this overtime to go towards our house deposit, and all weekend he's just sat in and let the house fester. There's washing hung up that's all dry and old sausage fat in the pan from where he's managed to cook himself a sandwich but not wash up! Was he expecting me to work Sat and Sun and keep house??? (Police work btw since you asked!) I do just think they don't "see" it though like we do!

Absolutely loving the thought of fertilisation updates - if only!!!!

Kwick709 · 06/03/2016 17:06

pug I am sorry about your row with DH. I would have blown my top too... St Davids St Davids St Davids

Kwick709 · 06/03/2016 17:04

Starky lovely cross stitch. I love Dowager too :)

kat I love your monologue - those are the positive affirmations you should be doing. Okay so may be cd2 is a tad early but the chukka-chukka may bring you solace.

starky you will need to jump said DH.

rae I have just had a sunday roast yet and salivating at your picture... where are you? do you have any left over?

Ni fab card - enjoy your holiday!

bluebird sorry the witch got you Flowers

Confusedcat1 · 06/03/2016 16:48

pug it's totally normal and human to feel like you do... Just take a breather and then go back to the situation. Flowers

jem now mine have dried more they look very negative... So going to dtd tonight, maybe tomorrow morning and just keep poas lol. We can only do so much, hopefully our eggs will plop out on Wednesday! Grin

RaeSkywalker · 06/03/2016 16:19

Thanks blue Ni and pug

pug i'm so sorry to hear that. It's so tough supporting someone with anxiety. You are allowed to have a wobble! Flowers for you. I hope that your DP is accessing some good help for his anxiety?

Ni4444 · 06/03/2016 16:18

Pug everybody has their limits. Of course you're entitled to be frustrated by this too!! Has he had any support with how to manage the anxiety?

Pugmummy87 · 06/03/2016 16:02

Rae those scones and mini Victoria sponges look delicious!

Just had an almighty row with DH. I am really struggling to deal with he's anxiety at the moment, because it means he is not doing a thing around the house (he works from home, part time hours) whereas I'm working full time and also doing everything at home too.
I understand that he doesn't have the motivation and that he feels frustrated too, but is it selfish to think 'yes, but what about how I'm feeling?'
I do ask him to do things (not nagging), things like 'could you put a load of washing on today please' or 'would you run the hoover over downstairs today' so I'm not asking him to do loads and neither am I expecting that he just 'knows' what I want him to do. Eventually it all builds up and I just blew my top at him this afternoon, had a massive sob and now I feel guilty because I know he can't help it.

Anxiety sucks. Sad

Can anyone answer this one...AF arrived yesterday so entered that and bfn but FF is carrying me on Cd 30 etc rather than going back to cd1. Don't tell me FF is joining Ovia on her period or something. What's that all about?!

Loving the mini Victoria sponge idea Rae! I must give that a go!

At the airport waiting for flights so I can join my Mom for a week holiday. Haven't seen her since Christmas! 😀... I must post a pic of my M day card...you lot would enjoy it!... Hang on..

bluebird3 · 06/03/2016 15:37

Hi girls. No longer in limbo land. Af arrived in force so I can now join Kat on the April bus (5th of April).

Starky fab cross stitch! The border looks great so don't worry about that.

Rae those scones look incredible. I'm salivating!

Congrats holly and stardusty and a happy 1st Mother's Day.

Good luck everyone left on the March bus. Fx for you all. ThanksThanksThanks

RaeSkywalker · 06/03/2016 15:34

Scones and Victoria Sponges. I have eaten far too much. How does 'mini' food fill you up so quickly?!

AF was due yesterday, tested again just now but it's another BFN. Wish AF would just hurry up now!!

Ahahahaha! lisa lol 😂 me and kat are having a clandestine affair! Ovaries before brovaries!

I doubt it though, he said he'll be back at 4, which in Dh land means half 4 at the earliest. I might be able to catch him before he gets in the shower, but them, he'll be sweaty and I'm all shiny and clean! 😁 I will if i can swing it! But I'm not holding out much hope!

Starky amazing cross stitch!!

LisaTheGreek · 06/03/2016 15:12

Kat, out of context, that sounds like a great chat-up message to Starky! Brilliant! Wink

KatOnATinRo0f · 06/03/2016 15:09

Stark I am sure you have got time for a quickie???

Would love to see some of your crochet at some point too!

SincerelyRosie · 06/03/2016 15:04

The cross stitch is awesome!!! I wouldn't have noticed he border unless you mentioned it! Great work starky

Don't be a sausage kat 😁 I lol'd at the idea of doreen and Hugh in the honeymoon gondola!

Dh went to the gym, and then it will be time to go to my dps for tea, and then he's at work! So no have of dtd today! 😠 I'd have woken him up earlier if I knew he had plans to excersize! Imagine! He's off being healthy and I'm say here with my egg all bereft because it's got no welcoming committee! Bloody liberty! 😁

(Lol stark I just scrolled up and saw your post a few hours ahead of me re: D&H. Soz. You are obv was more funny and on time than me) ... Still catching up on phone, hence many posts rather than on computer where you can write a long one and still read the rest)

KatOnATinRo0f · 06/03/2016 14:41

Omg. Doreen.... Please meet Hugh.

KatOnATinRo0f · 06/03/2016 14:40
