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?

Ovia just told me that the fact that my neck is sore means that AF is on its way. Whatever...

Imp, as a class civ teacher, you might appreciate the fact the autocorrect keeps changing Ovia to Ovid.

impy ooooooor you could be upduffed!!

I'm going to try FF. Ovia is a pervy little slag who thrives on the unhappiness of others.

kathrino I did actually smile at that! I was also pleased when Latin joined the group

Miley, I am pissing myself laughing! I just woke up the cats as they wondered what the noise was.

(Also, I first read your post as your nail breaking off .... 'in-situ'.... If you see what I mean....)

kt I thought all cm was because I was aroused until a few months ago. And I never noticed it's consistency. Now I'm close to taking it to work in a lab and analysing it

Jeez lisa imagine putting the into ovia. Me: "Oh ovia, I found a fingernail up there"
Ovia: oh fuck bitch that yo baby's nail. You pregnant.

Checking in.... Sooo much to catch up on!

Holding off testing until af late if I have a personality transplant in the meantime

choc aww yeeee! Of course you're upduffed! Think we all knew it even if the tests did lie. What a mind boggling experience for you, must be such a massive relief to finally have that bfp. huge congrats to you and your dh

Kat I'll go for 9+4 if it's still free please!

Hahahahahahaaaaa!

Also, I also thought all CM was arousal juice! I feel very naive....

imp I have an actual a-level in classical civilisations !! I am genuinely amazed because I've never met ANYONE who has done classical civilisations as a subject either as a teacher or student (other than the people who were in my class!) It was my favourite subject for 7 years! My most favourite word ever is pentacosiomedimni! ! Consider me floored!

I'm using Oviabitch and FF. I like what they both have to offer! bloody pain entering both though!

So ladies, they say high caffeine intake doesn't help conception.. I drink 2/3 cups of seriously strong tea...and ive been guilting myself about it. Do we think that it's all scaremongering, or should I limit to 1 which I'd probably have to get used to for when upduffed anyway

I once read a sexy romance on the train on the way to work (on my phone Kindle app, obvs). When I got to work and went for a wee I thought I must have been hugely turned on by the sex in the book (surprising, given it a quite boring). Figured I was a bit of a lit porn fan. Now I know it was clearly my special time of the month....

Ooops missed 9+4 in the time it took me to write a post! Lol

Ill go with 6+5 then please Kat

No way Stark! I did Classics at uni, but aside from the people I studied with, almost no one seems to even know what I'm talking about Well, I have a load of Greek tragedy mock exams to mark... It's my job for tomorrow, I've even cleared the dining table

Pmsl at your Ovia exchange Miley

Classicists of the world unite! I did Classics at university so I may be biased but it's the best subject in the world and I'm not at all tempted to call any future son that we have Aeneas.

kat are we guessing from today's date? Today I think choc is 9+1 :)

Haha Kathrino you should have seen my name list. (I seem to lean Roman for boys and Greek for girls), I managed to name ds1 after an emperor, although indirectly, but DH vetoed most of them.

Yay for Classics!

If we have a boy we have decided on Roman, literally because Roman > Rome > Romulus and Remus > direWolf > our last name! Ooooh 'the Trojan women' was my favourite tragedy!

lisa I'm OK... just violently sick tonight and major upset stomach... think I may have about bug but OH has me all snuggled up in bed with a glass of chilled water with lemon in etc. He's a bloody star - I should clone him!!

Thanks moggy took long enough didn't it haha

That's fab stark! Great name!

Trojan Women is off the spec sadly! We've got Medea, Antigone, Agamemnon and Electra (Euripides version). They're fine, but I'm not an Antigone fan... Would rather have had Trojan Women!

Bloody hell ladies, another thread! I only posted on the last thread once!

Choc I am so pleased to hear you are pregnant! What did your midwife say?

So cd 11 today, did opk mid morning (I was on a late shift at work today so wouldn't have been able to do one this afternoon/eve), faint line. I wasn't going to bother with them, but I've been lax with temping and it's been hard to judge cervical fluid due to thrush.

Anyway, I ought to dtd but I've had some random watered down bleeding today. I used a canestan pessary Saturday, Google tells me this appears to be a common side effect of the pessary. Weird.

Good luck to anyone testing tomorrow!

Back to symptom spotting tomorrow. Thought i had really swollen hands this morning but i think it was because my fitbit was too tight

Roman is the one boys name we have agreed on. Literally. Everything I've liked Dh has vetoed, everything Dh comes up with I pull a cats bum face! We have yet to actually properly agree on a girls name, other than possibly Robyn, but I'm just going to decide on one and announce it directly after giving birth! I'll definitely get my own way if I've just birthed a human out of my person!

Hellooo new thread!!

Will make a better effort this month with OPKs and temping. Need to use some of Kathrino's stealth work pissy stick tactics!

Starky love Roman. It sounds really cool with your surname too. I recently read SPQR-great book and some great ideas for Roman names (Livia maybe?) though Robyn is lovely too.

Feefs it must be so hard without your mum, ((hugs)) for you.

No way oral sex is coming off the menu here!
