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?

Chocaholic88 · 28/01/2016 09:16

I'm just glad I'm not the only one to see the line and think everyone needs to be more wary of ICs... how strong is irregulars line going to be on a FRER

Chocaholic88 · 28/01/2016 09:21

Just saw this on fb and had to share 😂😂

Wow bumper crop of bfps this week! Congratulations ladies. I think we need another list...

Kathrino · 28/01/2016 09:29

What excellent news this morning! Huge congrats on the BFP Irregular, so happy for you! Also really pleased that the tests came back clear evergreen.

Impy, so sorry that AF has made an appearance and that it's dicked you around so much this month.

We really have been lucky in the last couple of days. Anyone else fighting the urge to POAS just in case some of the luck rubs off? Wink

Mileymoocow · 28/01/2016 09:39

I'm literally throwing my leftover luck at you all.

Impy sorry about af Flowers

ever haha!! Is his second head as big as his one on his shoulders right now after that news? 😉

choc that is hilarious!

Confusedcat1 · 28/01/2016 10:20

I knew everything was gonna be fine evergreen to be honest I think it was irresponsible of your doctor to tell you that IF it was positive then you'd be infertile! Talk about scaremongering. Maybe go to a different doctor for baby related things in future!! Flowers

IndiX · 28/01/2016 10:27

Irregular definitely try to get an FRER, but looks like a line to me too!!
Sorry about the AF/bfn's girls at least you can enjoy a wine this weekend Wine

I am going back home today not looking to the 5 hour road trip so I will be back to keeping up with my MN and all your posts. No news here, had tender boobs last couple of days but no so bad today, don't really feel any different but only about 7/8dpo. Due to test a week tomorrow (Friday 5th), not going to test before then just incase I spend £30 again and AF rocks up on time.

FXSkip · 28/01/2016 10:27

choc this is a joke right? right? RIGHT???!!! Please tell me this is a joke.

Holly300 · 28/01/2016 10:27

Choc I'm taking seven seas trying to conceive and quite happy with them so far.

Holly300 · 28/01/2016 10:31

Congrats irregular Thanks

Co5mo · 28/01/2016 10:35

Ok ladies, I blink and theres been three BFPS!!!! FlowersFlowersFlowers Congratulations X

It's a good job I'm not at work this week, you lot have me crying with laughter, just read back through the last couple of days.

TTC has crept into my dreams. I was most definitely having implantation bleeding in my dream last night (among lots of other weird things). I'm 6dpo today so could be just about getting to that stage but as I was unwell 1dpo, I think I have probably blown my chances this cycle. Has anyone else had TTC dreams?

AliceScarlett · 28/01/2016 10:41

My goodness so many BFPs! So happy for you all, squeeee.

I woke up 100% expecting AF, but nothing, no cramps, nowt. I went for a wee asap and rushed to work just so I wouldn't be tempted to POAS. One more day, one more day.

Mileymoocow · 28/01/2016 10:43

co5mo 3 nights ago I had a dream my friend was pregnant Wink

Oh god, the burping today from both ends Blush

LaraG13 · 28/01/2016 10:54

Found this really interesting so thought I'd share: rsbl.royalsocietypublishing.org/content/12/1/20150638

I get upduffed dreams too!

Mileymoocow · 28/01/2016 10:56

I got as far as the title lara and laughed.

Chocaholic88 · 28/01/2016 10:59

fx If you're on about the fb photo I posted I hope to god it's a joke! 😂 someone I know shared it saying 'good lord kill me now' hahaha

holly I went straight onto their pregnancy vitamins as got that faint bfp 27th Dec... if I've caught in the last few weeks then taking them certainly did me no harm! I've only heard great things about the seven seas trying to conceive and pregnancy vitamins so fingers crossed for you xx

cosmo ... I dreamed I had a scan (last week I think) ... and everyone did a victory dance (some of you will remember me posting about it?) And this week finally got the bfp!

LaraG13 · 28/01/2016 11:12

Hahaha miley 😂

latinata · 28/01/2016 11:14

Such great BFP news for the #clitsnotclots gang! Well done everyone!

I think I am now 5dpo and think AF due on 2nd Feb, so will POAS from 3rd onwards if no AF, which will be 11dpo. Unless starky tells me otherwise! Lolz.

Have a lovely day, one and all! After the whole clits thing yesterday I have taken the decision not to log in at work any more (I'm three hours behind you all) as I can't control my potty mouth and the idea of getting an IT audit is too hideous to contemplate, but will be silently observing all day!!

latinata · 28/01/2016 11:16

Lara, that article is hilarious. Do we think that Mona Lisa was using OPKs to work out when she should be painted?!

Cthulhoo · 28/01/2016 11:26

:-( Doctor called back about my blood test and apparently I'm anovulatory. This comes as a surprise to me since the ovulation test kits reliably indicated fertile and peak days but apparently my hormone levels are too low.

I'm desperately hoping they got the dates wrong and haven't considered the most recent blood test but that's probably me clutching at straws. Maybe they're still talking about the blood tests I took a week ago which would have been just three days after ovulation.

From what she said it looks like I'll need Clomid but for that I have to be referred because primary care providers don't prescribe Clomid anymore, I'll have to see a consultant for that. And the doctor mentioned fertility treatment for which the cut-off on the NHS was 40, which to me indicates that she was thinking of IVF. The doctors will meet later today and discuss my case and then she'll call back and tell me their decision.

Pretty crushed and despondent right now. :(

Kathrino · 28/01/2016 11:32

Oh Cthulhoo, I'm so sorry that it wasn't better news for you today. I can't even begin to imagine what you're feeling right now Flowers

ImpYCelyn · 28/01/2016 11:32

Oh god Cthulhoo what a kick in the balls! Hugs for you ThanksThanks Clomid might be all you need though. Remember that a specialist will have a much better idea, and I think you should keep trying anyway until you see one. I genuinely know 5 or 6 couple who were told ivf would be their only chance and when it failed they got pregnant naturally. It can happen. It must be so hard but try to stay positive. It doesn't mean you're out yet ThanksThanks

StarkyTheDirewolf · 28/01/2016 11:32

Cthulhoo I'm so sorry about your disappointing news. Flowers Cake Brew
