whispers stark are you up yet? How are ahem, things?

drinkyourmilk · 13/01/2016 07:42

Sorry, didn't mean to be so rude! Hi newbies, welcome to the nothing is too much info thread Brew

leoniethelioness · 13/01/2016 07:43

Sounds promising jamjar. Wish AF and period symptoms weren't the came! We're test day twins! I have tender boobs and creamy CM too but at the moment I feel like it's a heads up that AF is coming next week. Not feeling very optimistic this month.

Chocaholic88 · 13/01/2016 07:50

elle currently feeling nauseous and wondering if pouring the glass of orange juice that DD wants is going to tip me over the edge and make me actually vomit!

Other than that, no changes to report! Oh my boobs are less sore however they have still gone up a cup size and it's not hard to tell as I'm usually like two peas on an ironing board

ElleSarcasmo · 13/01/2016 08:10

Starky you're still not out! POAS today! and then tell us immediately

Kat thank you so much for keeping the list up to date! It makes keeping up so much easier!

Choco your symptoms sound so preggo! Are they fading or getting worse? How old is your little one? Smile

Hugs Leonie, it sounds like a stressful week for you. You're not out til you're out though. Flowers

Fx for everyone testing this week!

ElleSarcasmo · 13/01/2016 08:15

Sorry choco just saw your last post with their ages!

Sounds promising Jam!

I'm going to try and chill this cycle hahaha as I as so convinced I had caught last cycle and then BFN, and AF 3/4 days late! Thanks body! If it's taught me one thing it's that bloody bastard progesterone likes to mess with your head! All these years I had no idea thanks to the pill!

leoniethelioness · 13/01/2016 08:16

Thanks! I'm OK - just pessimistic and feeling like it won't happen! It's only month two.

ElleSarcasmo · 13/01/2016 08:19

Meant to be going out after work today, so I've brought my stealth OPK kit...plastic cup, OPK and plastic bag (opaque) to dispose of evidence! Meant to bring clear sandwich bag to inspect the OPK later if I want but forgot. Let's hope my friend doesn't mind me disappearing for 10 min and that there's more than 1 cubicle!

Chocaholic88 · 13/01/2016 08:22

elle the same really, the only thing that has died down is the chesticle soreness... but my boobs are tiny so don't get sore much anyway!

Cthulhoo · 13/01/2016 08:41

kat, can you please add me to the list too? Ovia predicts af for January 30, so the earliest I would test is January 31.

LaraG13 · 13/01/2016 08:59

So hard to keep up! Welcome Newbies and hi Canters

Congrats Lana! Wonderful news!

Your symptoms sound so pregnant choc. Sorry to hear you still haven't had an answer . Unbelievably frustrating and you're dealing with it very well!

Fingers crossed for you still Stark and sorry to all those who moved to Feb bus.

I don't feel like this will be my month because I had no EWCM during my fertile week. Like none. And I checked. Anyone else have varying levels of the eggy stuff? I have very little mucus of any kind really. Think I had more in my 20s.

Kat thank you for the list - I love it!

LaraG13 · 13/01/2016 09:02

Also, anyone know why Ovia has a big fat ? for number of days until pregnancy test? AF is due 23rd so why the question mark?

Evergreen15 · 13/01/2016 09:05

Starky very true! And the pressurebof producing a son!! And of course back then you wouldn't know if it was until it was fully out!! OMG! Like a 2ww but a 9mw ShockShockShock__

Kat I want a big name badge and the front row Grin I wasnt sure which AF date to announce as Ovia says one thing and Kindara the other. And FF agrees with Kindara. Yes! I have 3 fertility apps on the go and I won't apologise! So put me down for 5th of February please (I have been waiting for the Feb bus with an open return, close my ticket now please)

Evergreen15 · 13/01/2016 09:10

Choc this matter is of extreme importance

I am all about emoticons and I only get the happy face, grin, angry blah blah which is not enough! Not enough! I need my whats app emoticons.

Chocaholic88 · 13/01/2016 09:13

evergreen I am using this via my android mobile and can use the emoticons from my keyboard!! 🙈🙈🙊🙉😹😻😸🙆🙅🙆🙅

Evergreen15 · 13/01/2016 09:14

Chocaholic88 · 13/01/2016 09:21

I feel sorry for you 🌲 evergreen 🌲 😉😂

Haha thanks for the update kat 🎀🎀

(Showing off with the emojiis now 😜😜)

harrietm87 · 13/01/2016 09:35

Hi everyone! Welcome holly and other newbies I've missed!

lisa just wanted to say that Nutella popcorn idea is genius! I will be trying that later...after the gym....

kat huge thank you for the amazing lists! Sorry to all with AF but glad I'm not so lonely on the feb bus now!

I'm on cd12 and fw not for another 5 days. Damn these long cycles! feef and miley I think we're similar - how are you doing? I had basically no cm after AF but now it's creamy/sticky "school glue" which is apparently a good sign at this stage. Hoping it morphs into EWCM soon!

IndiX · 13/01/2016 09:42

Welcome Newbies!!
I'm on cd6, bored shitless of this proliferative stage.
I love the list too well done Kat for keeping us all organised.
Choc I hope they tell you what is going on very soon.

FXSkip · 13/01/2016 09:43

Can I please go on the Feb bus? I've never been on a bus before Grin AF due 8th Feb

Chocaholic88 · 13/01/2016 10:07

New random symptom alert.... I thought I was just me being weird yesterday. However; I have so much extra saliva in general. Like you know before you be sick and you get lots more watery saliva in your mouth? Like that, almost constantly... what's that about!? 😂😂

KatOnATinRo0f · 13/01/2016 10:25

You get an increase in saliva production when nauseous/before vomiting due to parasympathetic nerve stimulation so could be related to that.
(Also checked and symptom of early pregnancy... Weird your blood test wasn't showing you as clearly pregnant as you obviously are!!)
