Thread 9. TTC#1 The thread where we unanimously delete Ovia.

[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/Ovibitch) 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 9 , 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.

Post your stats and add your dates. We have a register thanks to kat, I have been dubbed the resident piss stick queen 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 Indi!

I'm going to test 2moro. Asda cheapie so no real biggie. Cycle normally around 25 days so funny poas away!

lol planteer.

I'm tired. ..and have fat thumbs. Can't spell either..

Wow indi how exciting that looks like a line!!! Congrats and get thee a FRER!

I've had backache all day, so as a treat, I've just had salted caramel ice cream, the Devonshire one made with clotted cream! In a cone. With chocolate sauce. And sprinkles. And a flake. I don't mess about when it comes to ice cream me! 🍦

Oh Starky I love that ice cream! I could really do with one of those now:)

I bought a 2pack FRER and took one this evening BFN. I'll take the other one in the morning with fmu - I'll be 15dpo. Fx. Somehow thinking I may be out and that my body is playing cruel tricks on me :(

Stark I would die for ice cream....but your organisation of it is inspirational! I need to put more effort into my presentation!! Yum yum. Have you ever tried yonanas? Frozen fruit ice cream you can homemake? Its the only way I can indulge without exploding!!

starky all that lurvemakin put your back out? ;)

ni we do that with bananas. Lovely frozen banana whizzed up with milk and sometimes oats, peanut butter, dates. So yum

I spent my formative years working on an ice cream van, I've got mad Mr. Whippy skills 😁 and weirdly enough, working a Mr whippy machine is an actual skill! That's probably why I'm so anal about ice cream! I've made strawberry frogurt, but not yonana! Which sounds amazing!

holly fmu is definitely the one to wait for! Fx for you in the morning!

jem I think it actually has! I'm in bits! He's literally knocked my back out!

Hahahahahahahahahahahaaaaaaa Well the least this can do is result in a baby starky

Tentative congrats Indi

God this TTC lark fucks your head up. I had a peak clear blue opk on Friday with ewcm and a big dip in temperature (35.75). Temp rose on sat quite significantly (36.46), but yesterday and today has gone back to its usual 36.1 ish. My understanding is that once you've ovulated, temp tends to be higher because of progesterone which has a heat inducing affect.

Now I'm wondering if I did ovulate, even though I had all the sodding signs, including pain I was getting on my right side late Friday and during Saturday.
I feel like I've turned into a loon!

Snow they are quite different aren't they?! I only started doing mine last month and sacked it off in a huff when AF came early so can't share mine (if you can do that in ovia?). Hopefully you are yet to ovulate and will get some clear signs in the next day or two, fx.

Jem this is our 4th cycle. However, working away has meant we haven't been together at the critical time or dtd enough. I think we also had a chemical pg in the 2nd cycle-I had nausea/altered taste/off coffee/boobs looked weird/emotional/vivid dreams, but got a bfn testing on day 25 (cycles have been 28/29 days, 27 this month). Then got AF on day 33. I guess it could have been AF symptoms but felt different somehow? Who knows!

Elle that's entirely possible, and not necessarily a bad thing either, so don't waste any time worrying about it. Fx for you though!

starky you're mad!! But having said that I had a severe back injury last year so when dtd I had to make him stop before I made it so it didn't hurt too much 😳 it was a weird time. Speaking of wierd (and TMI) I thought I had full on excessive Cm today a la miley so mad dash to loo, only to remember I'd just done two hot yoga classes and was just really sweaty. Grossed myself out.

Thanks stark hope so :)

Are you opk-ing pug ? I'm wondering about temping next cycle round. But I know I'll get obsessive about it proof of obsessing is in the okp'sso I'm not sure whether to add in another thing to wonder about. But given my distinct lack of cm of any kind at all since beginning ttc, I'm wondering!

katonatinroof where are you? Did your business trip go well? Have missed you!

I think the elusive O is happening, finally. At least I'm cramping! After having nothing at all except ewcm for the last 4 days I was getting worried! We've dtd 3 out of the last 4 nights, might persuade dh to rally the troops tonight too. Hopefully my temp goes up tomorrow to show ovulation. Otherwise what a waste of good swimmers this month! I watched that sperm race program and it's even sadder if I didn't ovulate as a billion or so probably died for nothing! 😱😖

Like a parrot Stark I say temp! It's actually helped me obsess less cos it gives me (and the apps) much clearer info... Plus take temp once in the morning then it's over and done with!

Ps...the yonanas is fab...gives a proper creamy texture... I like sorvet

Posted too Early!...

Yeah, but Snowdog, just think of how many die through masturbation all the time....

I was gonna say I love sorbet but I like creaminess of ice cream. Haagen Daaz pralines and cream isn't allowed in my house because it calls to me and I can't leave it alone! Yonanas has saved me! 😋

Thanks Skip. That must have been some energetic hot yoga!

Sounds promising Snow! Get on it!

It is mad how many sperm go to waste. If we could only get them to the right place more easily!

holly you're not out til you're out!

starky I'm in awe at how stocked your pantry is - cones and sparkles and sauce and a flake?! I have mini magnums (for emergencies) and that's about it!

Elle - are you thinking of some kind of signposting or runway lighting to get their attention

(Missed a ? and off the end of that....)

Yonanas is good Ninow if I could only break my kitkat habit
