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?

Pugmummy87 · 30/01/2016 19:11

Thread 9 already?!

Name: Pug

TTC #1
Cycle #3
CD 15 (of a 29-35 day cycle, although last month was 44!)
Fairly certain I have ovulated yesterday/today, so anticipating AF due from 13th Feb onwards).

Evergreen We aren't the most regular at having sex either, But I think he thinks the 2 times (on average) a month is enough to get me upduffed!

He also has a daughter from a previous relationship when he was young and I think that's why he isn't so bothered by it all. Going to have a chat with him I think.

Snowdog37 · 30/01/2016 19:23

Ooh that's a coincidence Lara! Where will you be off to? We will be east coast USA if all goes well! Would love to go with a baby on board!

Snowdog37 · 30/01/2016 19:24

Oh and my cm is mostly watery with a bit if ewcm starting up. Not as much as I'd hope for but I'm using preseed too.

Going to be relying a lot less on Ovia this month and a lot more on FF and cervix and CM. If no bfp this month I might start to OPK. Varuca Salt: I want it noooooowwww.

StarkyTheDirewolf · 30/01/2016 19:30

pug my Dh was a bit like that with regards to him already having a child. Once I gently hysterically screeched explained scared him witless that sperm quality decreases with age old balls, old sperm and that he was not in fact 23 anymore, he came round. Although he was extremely surprised that I wasn't pregnant yet the first cycle despite only managing to dtd twice over my fw and completely missing my lh surge. Grin

Pug yep, same here... Not enough! I keep telling him. Ahhh! Ok yes you tell him!
My DP doesnt seem worried at all

Chocaholic88 · 30/01/2016 19:45

Helloooo lovely ladies... been busy working and feeling tired/dizzy/angry/distraught/mildly disgruntled/hysterical/sick the past couple of days...

Recap me! How are well all?

Anymore BFPs?

StarkyTheDirewolf · 30/01/2016 20:21

Hiya choc I'm quite wrapped up in myself today but, we've had a bfp patches, milesys Dh has super sperm, af has hit a few so we've cracked open the wine and everybody's still generally insane. I am borderline hysterical in a good way because I think I'm ovulating and despite having already dtd today I'm miffed because Dh is at work and we can't dtd again tonight. And according to my hormones, ovulating means I turn Into a fountain of weeps and feels! Grin

Pugmummy87 · 30/01/2016 20:24

Starky My DH has said to me in the past 'Well we know my pipes are working alright', I might just have to add your approach of gently screeching explaining scaring about age and sperm quality. Will probably also say that dtd eod improves sperm quality rather than it just languishing there in his balls, see if that makes a difference lol

Laurenowls · 30/01/2016 20:35

zazzles my last one was 22 days but this one is fucked up!! Waiting to properly get af or other signs iykwim so god knows!! Xx

StarkyTheDirewolf · 30/01/2016 20:40

pug do it, he tried to tell me how awesome his swimmers were and I just shouted "old balls, old balls, OLD SAGGY MAN BALLS!" At him until he sat quietly terrified and listened to me about how we couldn't afford to waste any time as my biological clock was ticking so loudly I was surprised next door couldn't hear it! (He's 37, very fit and healthy!)

Cheers for the update stark I cried over the idea of watching warhorse in the theatre today and then going backstage to meet the puppeteers etc (all for my work) ... I was with friends, not embarrassing at all lmao!

ZazzlesTheCat2 · 30/01/2016 21:10

Busy listening to OH snore while I attempt not to burp, fart or vomit on him... This pregnancy lark is glamorous! Wink

IndiX · 30/01/2016 21:44

Sorry bit late on this one, I've just watched The Great Sperm Race and I am in awe of the human body! I embarrassingly didn't realise quite the extent the poor little sperm go through to get to our glorious egg. Kind of makes me feel better if it is a bfn this month as there's so much more than just a pump and squirt that gets the job done.

Btw my ovia says to test in 3 days I reeaalllyyy want to believe her but don't want to waste money/be disappointed, I think I'm actually due to test on the 4th even though I said the 5th, sorry Kat! as I usually have about a 30 day cycle..I have been fine so far and not been worrying about bfp/bfn all month, however last 3 days or so, I've turned insane again, it's all I think about. Sorry for long post, maybe just need someone else to tell me their insane too Sad why can't we do an pg test straight after sex instead of this bloody wait?!

ElleSarcasmo · 30/01/2016 21:46

We are racing through them Runner! Are you still feeling rubbish? Flowers

I want it now too Alice! Body are you listening?!

My DH would run away screaming if I called him old man balls!

Choco that is too funny about war horse! Grin
