Thread 8, TTC #1. Change my FW one more time Ovia, I dare you! TMI Warning throughout.

[StarkyTheDirewolf]

Symptom spotters, tww - ers, slightly hysterical hormone laden ladies! Regs, lurkers, intermittent posters! Our raison d'etre is 'am I pregnant?' Depending on how much Ovia (Whybird) has pissed us off/messed with our fw she is either the oracle or a sanctimonious charlatan.

Just a warning, we move FAST! Our threads last on average, about a week before they're full.

Thread 8 , 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, stories about cervical mucus, pooing, cysts and nausea equally welcome. Although normal conversation is also encouraged.

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

We like acronyms, we make some up: PET = Proper expensive test. We love the d(h)...which can of course mean 'dearest' or 'dickhead' why, what were you thinking?

Scribbles notes I can check a lot of these symptoms Miley. The thirst especially.
Hmm now it's who to believe when to test; Ff or Ovia? Got different info from both. Ff reckons Friday ovia next Wednesday. I was going to splash out on a Frer but maybe will settle for a cheapie Asda 1...

Right. I've not had a great day (nothing compared to Stark's though - so sorry about that. There are literally no words).

I think I'm just about caught up, so, in priority order:

Miley - fucking ace girl! Get in! Many many congrats, that's such amazing news! I'm so glad the girls made you do another test.

Been lolling around my train for:

• Pissing on a stick on the floor of the GP's surgery
• #clitsnotsclots (or whatever way round that goes!)
• the idea of shoving your phone up your vag so Ovia can test your CM (and follow-up shout-out to whoever said their phone was a big boy Samsung and wouldn't fit).

Taking it seriously for a second though, if you could do that with your phone (or something), that would be awesome. Stick something up then have it sync to your phone which says 'you have EWCM, and your cervix is high and spongy'. And then it automatically gets uploaded to Ovibitch or similar.

Miley and Bel you're upduffed!!!!! 😀😀😀😀 Fantastic!! I knew it was coming Miley! Fingers crossed I get lots of creamy drippy CM next week never thought I'd say that!

Catching up on new series of Call the Midwife. OH is learning! 😉

miley awwwww I thought you might be!!

Massive congrats to you and bellini.

All these grads!! /sniffsniff

Also, don't know how many of you shop at aldi but they have the vitamin drink tablets (like berocca) and they don't have vitamin A in, but they do have folic acid. And they're 79 (or 89p, they're less than a pound ) for 20. And I've been drinking one in about a litre of water a day. My skin has improved, I've been feeling better and although they make your wee NEON, and I mean NEON! They're quite good.

Congratulations Miley so pleased for you!! Have you told OH yet? How exciting!

Bellini hope it is sinking in more for you now! Congratulations again!

Proper lol at #clitsnotclots and POAS on the floor (oh dear Skip!)

Starky so sad for that family. I can't even imagine what they're going through. It does mean a lot when you lose someone to have kind, sympathetic people involved in the funeral so I'm sure you helped a little

Congrats miley!

Will look out for the fake beroccas too, thanks!

Impy still got fx for you!

Omg omg omg omg omg omg omg

I was in the gym not bragging okay I completely am and I missed all the excitement!

I actually practiced delayed gratification there... I wanted to scroll up and SEE THE BLOODY TEST PIC!! But I didn't I sat grinning and reading the progress word for word

And miley you is upduffed!!!!! wahoooooooooooooooooo

(Anyone want some more stats??)

We are officially 26.78% pregnant

Go us!!!

That's tea for the pregnants (can that be a word??) and obviously wine for the not pregnants.

Yes Kat, what does the success rate look like now? Assume it's pretty amazeballs

Bloody hell!

Nice going everyone!

Woooo miley and bellini such an exciting catch up read!

Woooooo miley and bell 💐

Stark I really don't think that anything that makes your wee NEON is a good thing. What the hell is in it that makes it that colour?? Weird synthetic chemicals?? I worry about things like that

But also, seriously, WTF is up with asparagus???

Miley Definitely get a FRER tomorrow - my ICs were pale even with FMU but really good line later the same day with a FRER

Leonie! How are doing?

Miley and Bellini massive congrats!

I wrote a long message addressing lots of you and I lost it.
And I am still catching up

Ok, well not like properly neon, just quite yellow and cause I drink a shedload of water I usually have quite boring coloured wee! They have got aspartamine in which I don't usually have, and beetroot colouring I'm studying them now Its a step up from the kids chewy basset flavoured ones which I was having till about a month ago though! I refuse to pay Holland and barrat prices for vitamins, I literally can't even! And i struggle to swallow proper vitamins because im a child when it comes to pills! I'm working my way up to proper adult tablets! I suspect in about 6 months when I'm not pregnant ill have got over it and instead be ramming so many vitamins down me ill rattle and injecting clomid straight into my veins!

Ive had a week 8 days of constant just off nearly positive opk, which I haven't Googled but I suspect is not a good thing.

Stark can I have some of your positive OPK please?? I got an almost positive one, then the next day it was lighter. So I missed it.

Feefs I am here!!!! I got my tests results and everything is clear
But now remains the mystery of why dtd hurts
So I have a phone consultation with gp next Tuesday and see if she suggests a scan or what.
Apart from that, I was so emotional and upset at work today. I struggled to get my manager to give me time off for the gp thing (2 hours) and then my other manager was very unfair and I cried.
Coming home I got the worst cold all of a freaking sudden and I have to work tomorrow
This is me. Catching up on messages and feeling poooooooo

If you've not had an actual positive, you've not missed it yet kat just means your body is preparing to surge I reckon. I think I'd rather have just a couple of positive opk's at the minute. I don't think a week of high lh just after af is a good thing necessarily, especially with my long cycles.
