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?

Yes first ... posted about it earlier (I think... lol)

She was sooooo lovely. OH came with me and got involved. We all had a good laugh etc. Estimated due date is 17th Sept for now but she told me that will probably change once I have a scan in 2-3 weeks ☺☺

Ni4444 · 28/01/2016 22:18

So amazing Choc-one week ago you were in such a different headspace, now you're talking due dates with a midwife!! How quickly life can change!

Not much to report here...3dpo. First time I've ever known how many dpo I am -yay for opks and temping and FF! Slight right pelvic today ...reminding myself it's way too early for symptom spotting! So glad we have the move next week to keep me distracted! AF due Tues 9th. May test Sun 7th cos I ovulated earlier...We'll see! 😉

Pugmummy87 · 28/01/2016 22:24

I am so tired and emotional at the moment. Day off today, was helping DH to sort out our spare bedroom (which has been full of his crap since we moved), I went to sit down on our bed as have been getting backache over last couple of days and neXT thing I know, DH is shaking my shoulder and calling my name. I'd fallen asleep on the bed for 2 hours lol.

Ovia seems to think that backache and fatigue is a sign of approaching ovulation. Sounds like a load of crap to me 😁

Chocaholic88 · 28/01/2016 22:30

Absolutely ni ... crazy isn't it! Can't wait until it happens to all of us in here ❤❤

StarkyTheDirewolf · 29/01/2016 02:44

pug she thinks my tiredness and cold/flu are probably ovulation too...nothing to do with me not sleeping and having a 5 yr old sick up on me all day Monday then ovia? Nope, definitely approaching ovulation. Grin

choc lovely news!

ni how have you found temping? I'm considering giving it a go as we found the thermometer this week too...when looking for it to try and acertain how poorly nephew was!

twinkydink · 29/01/2016 06:16

Early morning last second dtd has just finished! Not sure how productive I will be at work today!

KatOnATinRo0f · 29/01/2016 06:17

Test confused!!!! Omg what a month!!

Confusedcat1 · 29/01/2016 06:23

I don't have any fmu so I might wait til tomorrow!

Confusedcat1 · 29/01/2016 06:24

What I do have is the trots!

twinkydink · 29/01/2016 06:25

You are strong Confused

Confusedcat1 · 29/01/2016 06:31

Not really twink, I've already had two bfns so I guess I believe I'm out deep down :)

miwelaisjacydo · 29/01/2016 06:35

Morning everyone how are we today?
When do you think you will test confused

Confusedcat1 · 29/01/2016 06:37

Definitely tomorrow morning miw if the witch doesn't arrive today!

stardusty5 · 29/01/2016 06:47

Morning all, good luck to all poasers!

Pugmummy87 · 29/01/2016 06:48

StarkI know! I had a cold last month during my fertile week and ovia said that was my top symptom that month hahaha. No Ovia, I just happened to be ill!

Strangely though, took temp this morning and it's a big drop from normal, also did a clear blue dual hormone opk (got them from.amazon, low fertility yesterday on my first one, but apparently it works out a baseline and so it always is low the first time you use it) with fmu and it says peak fertility! Hmmmm.

Best go jump DH then I guess!

Mileymoocow · 29/01/2016 07:09

confused I didn't test with fmu 😉 it said on the test packet that you should only use fmu if you're testing early and can use and wee when testing when the with is late.

Oh the 29th, how wonderful. Hopefully there will be lots of testers getting bfp's today!

I woke up at half 3 feeling like I needed to fart. Dunno if it was trapped wind or my uterus stretching but I let out a beauty on DP'S knee when he came in for a cuddle. he did get me back about 5 mins later though then proceed to tell me he must be pregnant too

KatOnATinRo0f · 29/01/2016 07:22

Good morning guys!!! I haven't properly caught up on yesterday evenings frolics of activity yet but am off with DH to a super exciting work related conference + black tie dinner thing next 2 days so I might not be able to keep up! (I will try my best!) Am posting THE LIST again for now I think it is up to date unless any witch ones happened yesterday that I didn't spot.

We've had so much good luck in January really!! How many BFPs in jan in total?? I can remember 6 from jan, there might be more! Bellini/irregular/miley/Choc/lauren/leonie.
This might make a more accurate statistic- %of us who have become pregnant in 1 month which is probably riding at about 10-12% (not calculated) which if average is 20% for under 30? We may have a couple in the "over 30 but not looking a day over 21 bracket" and many other factors (like my DH being a grump during ovulation so we didn't dtd enough) meaning that's not too shabby...

Ok, so....I caved. I have no excuse, nothing in my defence (except that I'm late according to Ovia, but we know that bitch lies and FF says I'm not due until Sunday).

What I don't know though is - is the line too faint? I feel like I've seen so many other people's tests, but when it comes to mine I just don't believe it. Is this real or too faint?
