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?

bellimi that fresh test is looking very promising!!! Was it out of the time frame? I only ask because I had a faint pink line on a super drug test last month. It was a long way out of the time frame though - fishing around in the bin the next day!

Opk getting darker through the day and almost positive this evening! Now testing every wee!

What subject are you imp ? I can help, just send me the marking scheme and a photo shot of one of your "ticks" once I've mastered plagiarising your smiley faces I'm in! not that I've done that before for my dm, who is left handed so does ticks backwards!

I was trying to work out the salivary logistics too Impy but then it started to make me think of it like some kind of oral smear tests and those are really not two concepts you want to mix up.

I think we should eschew the super drug tests with a firm hand! They are evap central! I feel bad because we dtd on freshly laundered sheets and I feel like I've besmirched them with sex juice!

Have now gone off oral sex.

I use preseed, just to grease the wheels so to speak, we tried the applicator and used way too much and dh nearly flew off the bed at a most inopportune moment. If he visits vagland before dropping off the goods, I just use preseed on him afterwards to counter whatever little bit of saliva might have got in my lady garden. Way tmi. I'd never tell anyone this is real life.

lara and kat I'm due to test 29th qnd have already had a bfn because I'm weak and have no willpower tho I do tend to get sore boobs and nips close to af. Literally all of my ad symptoms could also be pregnancy symptoms which is a total head fuck so I'm not thinking about it and I stead am loling at nacho's name. starky you're naming all my pets from now on

Kat - you're very sweet, thanks for chasing me.

I'll go for 9+4 please (assuming that's still free by the time this posts). Not many places left!

I banned oral last month for FW and used pre seed....technically it was OK, but you know what...it didn't really do it for either of us...and I don't want sex to stop being fun!! So we've just reverted to our old fashioned ways! Apparently OH has A star sperm anyway (according to his fertility test!) so fingers crossed it'll be fine! this month, this month, this month PLEASE!!

Sounds like a course from a particularly experimental tasting menu...

Stark - yes! I also hate dtd on clean sheets!

OH has NEVER EVER cleaned the sheets. I've done it every weekend the whole time we've lived together (five years ish). If he's getting frisky in bed and the sheets are clean I feel like it's a personal snub to me - if you want icky sex, clean the fucking sheets sometimes!

I thought touching my cervix was a horrible horrible thought. I've just had a bit of a meltdown at the thought of a tongue there.

Tongue in cervix? I leave you lot for an hour to eat and throw it back up again and this is the topic?

Don't think I'll ever un-clench 😂😂😂

Miley - now imagining your DH with a lizard-like long tongue. Apologies, I'm sure he's completely anatomically normal and correct!

Laughing my head off at snow's DH flying off the bed

Thanks Stark, it's year 8 German and year 12 Classical civilisation. Sadly they need actual corrections other than just ticks but it's good of you to offer

I've decided it would be much too "lay back and think of England" if we dispensed with all the fun bits... I might consider preseed, but I'm ignoring the saliva issue.

Still no af, still loads of cramps I dread to think what Ovibitch is making of all this (I'm just sticking to FF now).

Oh no, Choc, sorry to hear you're vomming. How are you?

Imp - how are you finding FF? Do you think it's accurate?

Apologies for all the clenching I've caused. I won't mention it again

lisa yes, he's a former member of kiss 😂

choc I'm the same. It's just so wrong. In every possible way. I was going to be a cm scrape but I can't face it now.

Thanks everyone.

I've got a Superdrug and a Sainsbury's test left so will try with FMU in the morning. If I get the hint of a positive is it worth trying to do a clear blue digital test or is it too soon? (period due Friday).

I have had very tender breasts and sore nipples for the last week or so which is unusual for me. I've also had quite a lot of cramping at times which I never normally get and my nipples look dark and also like there's some white spots developing! Not sure if it is my imagination playing tricks on me lol!

Lisa, I've only used it this cycle. But it's ov prediction did coincide with my ewcm. It originally said af today, which hasn't appeared, but a week ago changed it to tomorrow, so I guess I'll find out then! It's not very pretty, but it is very clear, and has some good analysis tools.

Imp I'm also sticking to FF. I really like it. All the analysis stuff it does is great and doesn't have a schizo pissy attitude like Ovia.

I braved it and I'm still creamy. Mine, not OH'S. I also want you all to know I cut one fingernail right down for this specific reason but if anyone asks, I snapped it

It's amazing how accustomed one becomes to examine/feeling for and thinking about ones vag and all its secretions in a way that never happens before TTC. Also Snowdog Inknow what you mean. I would never discuss any of this in RL! Imagining approaching my colleagues with the sort of info I tell Ovia - triumphantly announcing 'my CM has turned watery!' to a row of aghast teachers and TAs.
