Ttc#1 Thread 7. 'I've sneezed twice, dtd, drank 2 glasses of juice, ate some cheese and I want a cuddle, Ovia am in pregnant yet?' TMI alert throughout.

[StarkyTheDirewolf]

Thread 7! Welcome one and all! Group of weirdos, wee hoarders, covert opk or okp, depending on what your autocorrect decides addicts with a side business in cm management!

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 fart stories make us laugh

Post your stats and add your dates. We have a register thanks to kat, a resident piss stick queen runner, loaaaaaads of bfp'ers who keep us positive! We don't have rules, we love a good symptom spot, we try to stay grounded and not be hysterical sometimes we manage it aswell

Oh my god twinkydink my DH ounces squeezed a big blackhead on my back and a little stone came out !

Apologies for my weird auto corrects!

kwick I'm such a sporner, I'm the go-to gal in our family if anyone has anything gross they need removing/draining! miley if you were my mrs I'd totally be squeezing your boobs!

I love baby names! We've got an animal last name, some of you may have guessed it, but it's a nightmare, because we can't have names ending in a! Imagine it's Lion. Cork Lion becomes 'Cor! A lion!' Noah. ..'no! A lion!' It's a minefield!

From my days as a nursery nurse I've had kids in my classes called... Tiger. Neo. Judd (not Judge, Judd) Sean-Kingston (after the rapper) Princess, Blossom, Pixie, Peaches, Honey...and Bubbles. And that's just a selection!

Ha starky that is quite the list! I love Sean Kingston particularly! My mum was at school with a Megan Bacon. Her parents were totally earnest and unaware of the pun. M-i-n-e-f-i-e-l-d!

Stark - it's probably normal now and possibly annoying for you, but having an animal surname sounds fucking amazing.

My god, the fun you could have with that!

Noah is definitely a great one. And any first name that is a place name (Chelsea, India, etc.) would sound like a type of that animal. So cool.

Stones in blackheads!! I love this thread

Never heard of this stones in blackheads thing but now off to google it (what could possibly go wrong....)

Ladies ladies

Symptom spotters be aware. The ultimate madness tool for the 2ww

I wrote a long post but lost it

Oh man, the satisfaction of a stone popping out must be un-freaking-believable.

I get no ov symptoms whatsoever.
I am loving the creamy nipple convo.

Kwick what the hell! Maybe it needed to be squeezed all that time!!!!!!
Lisa I have two surnames, as I am Spanish and I am hoping that we can do that, one from DP and my first one.
I love squeezing gross spots but I rarely get them life is not fair and DP wont let me anywhere near his

Ok, so I'm back and .... that was weird. Have seen some truly disgusting videos (eye popping, one might say - pun intended).

Not sure I can unsee some of that. Basic spots and blackheads being squeezed are fine, but I didn't realise there was so much 'more' out there as well.....

Anyway ....

Evergreen - I'm glad someone else is doing the one surname each thing - including one of your Spanish names sounds lovely.

I freaking love this thread and all the weird convos that go on 😂😂😂😂
Update on how my bodys fairing at the moment boobs are still sore and spotting has restarted new ones heartburn only on a night and massively tired all day

Hope everyone is fairing okay in this horrible tww fx to you all xx

Evergreen - noooooooo!!! I've clicked that link and am already frolicking about in a field of crazy.

I'm playing symptom bingo with myself and pretty sure I'm totally cheating.

Evergreen I love this!! I also think that the pregnancy test timing calculator is very handy - I think starky would approve!

Evergreen I'm the same...I love to squeeze things! Weird as it is! OH had a tough time establishing boundaries with me at the start... I am not allowed near any blackheads or ingrown hairs! Shame....they're the fun, easy ones!

holly the pregnancy test calculator on countdown is my favourite one, it's so sassy and honest "don't bother testing, it's too early" and it's factual too!

Dh knows if he's got a good spot and he doesn't let me squeeze it (or I spy it after he's squeezed it) then he's in trouble. I've been known to withhold blow jobs as punishment for him popping his own spots!

Hahaha starky, it could have been written by you!! It has really helped me actually, as I was thinking of testing as early as Tuesday (8dpo) but now I think I'll try to hold on longer as there is such little chance of a bfp even if you are pg that early.

Exactly, I probably sound really awful and mean when I'm like "don't test!" But I think that testing from early gets hopes up this is going to sound awful getting an early bfp is amazing, but in actuality, it doesn't happen very often. I think it can be good sometimes, but for the most part, it's so disappointing. And encourages the hormonal roller coaster.

Don't get me wrong, I would poas every day from 2 dpo (which is probably why I love okp's so much) but with pregnancy tests, there is so much stress and pressure involved! Waiting even a couple of extra days up means there is a much higher chance of getting an accurate result, and cuts down on the heartache. I wait until the day after af should have arrived I'm clearly a sadist and it's a KILLER!

My cycles can be as long as 42 days, if I tested from even a week after when I thought I ovulated, I'd be testing for the best part of 3 weeks! And Internet cheapie tests are brilliant for cheapness, but unreliable. Even the ones which claim to have an iu sensetivity of 10 are often not accurate early. If I used a frer each day, I'd be spending £30-40 a month just on frers. Even with ic'so, it would cost £10 a month, and when af arrives, it just feels like a disappointment because I'd have spent unecessarily money. I'm waffling but hopefully making sense! I suppose, for me personally, I'd rather wait and get two good lines one day fx, than be analysing every squinter/evap.

You're totally right! And I've been there with the testing everyday in the past and it's really upsetting.

You will get your two good lines :)

Morning all, 'd'h woke me up an hour ago and I can't get back to sleep

My temp has dropped from yesterday (yes! A new obsession! I've done 2 days and I'm already using it to torture myself), so with that and cramps I'm sure AF is coming. Ff says 27th. I'm getting very light spotting, like light brown tinged cm.

(What I'm ignoring, is that I rarely get cramps this much or days in advance of AF. And that normally my pre-AF spotting requires a light tampon or really shows up on a liner, which it isn't. I'm ignoring these because that could give me false hope and emotionally I just don't need that). Temping is stopping me poas.

Omg love the spot talk! So I used to have a tiny lump on one lip. Gp thought it was a scar. One day I noticed a tiny white spot, and figured I must have a spot over scar. So I squeezed. It was so painful it brought tears to my eyes, but I bravely carried on. And white spot gunk started coming out, in a steady, unbroken string. Which was over 2ft long (u was going to say metre, which would be a slight exaggeration, but over 2ft isn't!). Very thin string. It started coiling in the sink. No more lump! It was so satisfying. nothing that good has happened to me since

Creamy nipples is a new one. You get it later in pregnancy, but I don't think I've heard someone with it so early! Fingers crossed you're a medical marvel!!!

Yes I am not alone in my spot popping fascination!! Imp that is disgusting but I also imagine extremely satisfying.

Well done for being realistic about sympton spotting!

Irregular I did warn you all
Holly I miss that feature, preg test calculator? Do you mean nit everyday from 7dpo? and starks has been using it all along!
Ni Ingrown hairs are my speciality and he gets them on his beard area but nit allowed!
Maybe I need to apply starky's technique, but I am confident we won't cave
Imp the brown spotting can be AF (if you normally get it) or upduffing. If you told ovia she will go oh! You must be preggos as she told me today my gas fart alert was probably due to preggo and not the brussel sprouts and coliflower I ate I will say that it can be a symptom and that anything can happen
For those fan of squeezing bits, I once squeezed a botfly larva out of someone's back
There

For some reason not means nit to my phone

And he wont cave, not we
Wtf is wrong fat fingers

I'm not the only one that lives spot popping, then? Good. Plus impy that sounds like so much fun. 2ft 9f pus is a bit bleurgh though.

Nipples have no more discharge, and my cramping has ramped riiiiight up. Ovia has stopped suggesting stupid things to me like that, she just says 'you recorded gas'. Think she knows I'm in a mood with her.
