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?

Good stuff FX! That's very helpful.

I pulled out My works maternity leave policy kathrino and went through the the whole thing with DH regarding mortgage payments outgoings etc I think it really helped him if that would help your DH? My DH would still want to do the lump some thing tho because the amount of money spent borrowing money is less than the difference of paying of more moderate

Feefeefs · 29/01/2016 19:36

Jesus the message is full of typos. sum not some and mortgage not moderate

Kathrino · 29/01/2016 19:39

Fee, we have done that and worked out what savings we need for me to take the full year off etc (and we don't have enough for that and whacking £10k in the mortgage). We're both accountants so there is, it goes without saying, a detailed spreadsheet involved! It seemed to work at the time but now he seems in total denial. I think maybe we need to go through it all again at some point...

StarkyTheDirewolf · 29/01/2016 19:39

kath he's probably doing that thing that some men do which is 'not believe it till it happens' it's also probably not at the forefront of his mind like it is in ours. I literally wake up every day and go 'I need to check what cycle day I'm on, am I ovulating, what's my cm like, how many opk's shall I do today' I wouldn't worry, he maybe just hasn't connected the dots yet.

Kathrino · 29/01/2016 19:40

Yeah, I think you're probably right Starky. He's not known for his forward planning and, as you say, he probably doesn't spend most of the day thinking about his cervical mucus. Or at least I hope he isn't!

KatOnATinRo0f · 29/01/2016 19:43

Hi everyone!! Checking in :) had really interesting day of lectures.
I haven't read through everything yet but will try to if internet connection stays okay (am in country park hotel type thing)
I have developed some symptoms - constipation but this could be because I am not at home (but I haven't been since TUESDAY I am literally full of shit. Also sore boobs, and watery CM last 2 days. I think this is what happens after ovulation when not on the pill though, as I had this last month too and it didn't amount to anything.

Sorry to talk about myself and not comment on anyone else but I need to catch up.... Hope everyone is good! X x x

StarkyTheDirewolf · 29/01/2016 19:49

kat Im with you, it takes me ages to catch up these days. And you poor thing with the constipation! That sucks! If I go anywhere other than home/my dps I end up backed up. Change of water I put it down to. Have you tried a strong coffee and some star jumps?

Kat my next test day will be Feb 26th. :)

KatOnATinRo0f · 29/01/2016 20:08

Stark haven't you had a week of positives

StarkyTheDirewolf · 29/01/2016 20:10

Basically yes kat a weeks worth of darkish ones, then two pale days and then this today. Be interested to see tomorrow's!

iPatches · 29/01/2016 20:17

starky I don't think it's quite there but my OPK positive was really sudden. I had blanks for days and then one really DARK line and then they were blank again.

StarkyTheDirewolf · 29/01/2016 20:22

That's what's so annoying patches most of mine have been quite dark, except the last two days, I don't think it's quite positive either, when I had what I assumed to be my positive opk last cycle it was much darker In the test line. But now I'm wondering if I ever actually have/had a positive and I just have a high lh level. Only did a weeks worth of opk's last cycle, this time I've done one every day from cd 6. Only time will tell I suppose!

Evening ladies. Confused, sorry you got enwitched. Here's to the fab bus being your lucky one.

Still catching up on the thread, but have just discovered Oviface's 'custom themes', including some fairly predictable blossoming trees, and, err, 'nautical'. Cm charting while looking at a honking great yacht anyone??
