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?

Congrats Daydream you are upduffed!!!! 🏆 😀😀😀😀😀 How many cycles were you trying? Ha! You won't be sleeping now!

Aw Miley Dh being too excited to sleep...that's so cute...but sucks you missed out on your tea! I'll be so unproductive when I finally get my BFP -it'll be daydream central all day and night!

Many congrats daydream - such lovely news! Wonderful stuff!

FXSkip - you have a kitten!!! I'm so jealous! I'm a crazy cat lady myself and have two 9-month cattens (still quite young but not proper cats yet, so we call them cattens). What do you have, and how adorably cute is it?

I believe that co5mo..I'm off so that I can pack and do all the address change jobs related to moving... But now I have some time to myself I wanna go Google rocking chairs and baby stuff!! At least I'm too early to symptom spot! Did you opk/temp/time dtd right this month? How are you feeling about your chances?

Thanks jem xxx

Congratulations Lisa and daydream! Wonderful news to wake up to, this is such a lucky thread xxx

Girls i need help going crazy here

So apart from my weird mini af which only stayed light bleeding never got heavy sore boobs and nips have gone and no actual af yet with all the signs horrible cramps mood swings ect

Dont have a clue whats going on???

Congrats to everyone who has their BFP!!

Lauren - when are you actually due AF?

Yesterday was my predicted date for af as implant was taken out 9th december had a normal af 31st and body has been messing about since! Had spotting for about a week then a mini bleed more spotting since and v light bleeds that stop and start feel like crying!!

Congrats Lisa!! Amazing news!

Kat, could you add me to the 3 Feb group of love please?

Hi please can I join? I've been lurking for ages and you ladies are brilliant! Have been is stitches at times. Congrats on all the recent BFPs.

My stats:
Name: Maz
Age: 30
ttc cycle: 2
AF due: approx 6th feb (have 35 day ish cycles and currently only examine CM to determine ovulation - so no flipping idea what I'm doing!)

Also I can't rem name but it's the lady who has been trying for a while and is 39- please see your gp for a referral as if needed and you are eligible for Ivf - nhs funding mainly ceases when you are 40. I knew someone who was referred too late and had to pay for herself even though she had just turned 40.

Loved the clotsnotclit and thanks for introducing me to mums net classics!

Have you tested Lauren? I don't know much about coming off the implant...have you looked online to see (or does anyone here know) how long it takes cycles to get regular afterwards? I'm totally gonna recommend acupuncture keep harping on about it I know! to get your cycles regular! I know it sucks when things are messed up and bloody confusing. Sending lots of hugs your way 💓

Welcome, Maz! I too was a recent lurker but saw the error of my ways!

All lurkers, stop lurking and announce yourselves! Hahahah!

The more the merrier in this mad house! 😂😂😂

Thanks Ni and Miley thats so sweet of you!! I am being very productive looking at 1dpo symptoms, lurking on other threads and answering EVERY post on here He's ok, just a big name dropper/likes to laugh at things and not share them/is persistently dehydrated (due to mild alcohol abuse) so I can hear every time he licks his lips and it makes my skin crawl. I'll be fine. He's away for a meeting now, hopefully it will last all day

Hi Maz! Welcome!! I'm thinking of testing on the 7th so we may be testing buddies! Are you gonna test, or just wait? Stark says wait and she's dead right!!

Mazza, I think you're referring to me. It's already in the works, sort of - I have gone to my GP after trying for a good half year and was offered a blood test for reassurance. Blood test couldn't show ovulation (so much for the reassurance!) and they're keen to refer me to a fertility specialist but they need a second negative blood test to confirm. I'm turning 40 in April so if they refer me in February it might just about be in time ...

I'm not panicking yet, since I think that (if it's confirmed) low hormone levels are fairly easy to treat and in terms of general fitness, body weight, non-smoking and family history of late conceptions the odds are still somewhat in my favour. It just absolutely wasn't what I wanted to hear and it made me suddenly feel very old. :-/

Although, I'm not out yet. af due today but hasn't shown up yet. shakes fist

*Also, not although.

cthulhoo your never out until your out!! Fx for you all the way!! Xxx

Fighting spirit Ctul!! 👍

Cthulhoo - really interesting about having a family with a history of late conceptions. I never thought about something like that being genetic, but I guess it makes sense.

Did your Mum have you in her 30/40s?

House move tasks are being ignored...Finally checking out mothercare for the first time to look at nursing chairs, cots, etc. So exciting!!! Come on BFP!

Ni and Maz I'll be testing around then too unless the witch shows up - FX for us all

Lisa he's actually 11 months now but is absolutely tiny and a bit damaged psychologically due to a rough start in life being raised with a very aggressive dog. He's recovering well, we've had him for 4 months now, but he is very needy and can't be shut out of rooms as he gets very distressed.

Lauren what do you mean nips have gone??

No, my mum had me when she was 23 but her mum conceived her very late - around 45/46, I think and there's an aunt of her who similarly conceived very late. It's probably entirely random and unrelated, but my mum offered this as some reassuring information that I have a bit more time than I think I have.
