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?

Hi!

Total newbie here, trying to work out the fnfhdgfjf letters as i go!

I'm mainly here because we are trying for baby no1 and my boobs are all painful, my nipples are going crazy and I am unashamedly searching for every symptom known to man. And joining mums net! As you do.

IndiX · 30/01/2016 21:55

I'm in exactly the same boat vix so you are not alone with the sore boobs/insanity/symptom spotting. Welcome!!! How many dpo are you?

StarkyTheDirewolf · 30/01/2016 21:56

Welcome vix Grin which acronyms are you struggling with? I agree though, it's a minefield of alphabetical bollocks when you're new! Took me ages to learn!

I just did another opk, I'm up to 4 now, it's still positive, this surge better last till after I've dtd tomorrow!

I think our Ovias must be conspiring against us Indi as mine is saying something very similar and am also going slightly insane here. I've spent way too long looking at pics of various sticks that people have peed on today. What a way to spend a Saturday.

IndiX · 30/01/2016 21:59

I've just watched an hour of sperm (people dressed in white outfits running up mountains/through fields/swimming in oceans replicating the fertilisation process) on a Saturday night. Kill me now kath

vixarooni · 30/01/2016 21:59

Is that days past ovulation? I downloaded ovia, funny reading the heading of this group because i defo didn't ovulate when it said i did! I'm about 13 days or so.

StarkyTheDirewolf · 30/01/2016 22:01

elle I'm lucky he puts up with me! And I absolutely at that moment needed him to listen to me! Mild tantrums usually work, especially if I throw in some humour! Grin

Holly300 · 30/01/2016 22:02

Indi, I'm definitely insane too!! I have so much work to do and really I have spent most of the day looking up early pregnancy symptoms etc.

Co5mo · 30/01/2016 22:03

Checking in.

Co5mo
Age 35
TTC #1
7 or 8 dpo (can't quite remember because I'm withholding info from Ovibitch)

Ever you're not out til you're out. I also have zero symptoms. Keep your chin up.

vixarooni · 30/01/2016 22:04

I'm throwing some good guesses out there! opk? ovulation test?

Planeteer · 30/01/2016 22:06

Indi I am v definitely going insane if that helps you.
Still no AF, and opks negative thus far. No idea even what phase of the cycle I'm in and Ovibitch is not helping. Clinging on to her being right, as my other app (yes, I have two... See? INSANE) says I won't have a fw until 20th March, which is just depressing.

Plus my skin is just dreadful, and today am a stumbling clumsy lunatic who seems to have lost her grip on words. Spent a good 5 mins today asking DH to 'pass me the err ... The... Err...the.....err' and then bursting into tears when he ( reasonably) asked me what in the name of arse I was talking about. Aaaaarghhormonesaaaargh!!

That was cathartic. Thank you (and sorry for the rant. Here is a biscuit Biscuit)

Kathrino · 30/01/2016 22:08

Let's not forget the time I spent/wasted this afternoon poking my boobs to see if they hurt at all...

I'm so thankful for you ladies who make me feel like I'm totally and utterly normal.

vixarooni · 30/01/2016 22:12

Haha kathrino i am with you!! I was pinching mine thinking, "these feel different" then realised I have never touched them like that before to have any point of reference!!

IndiX · 30/01/2016 22:14

Been squeezing my boobs non stop since Wednesday. Like non stop. They are sore but I am now stopping myself from thinking they are sore, so I'm mind-fucking myself big time.

FlyingSpaghettiM0nster · 30/01/2016 22:27

I posted on the last thread because I'm a moron unobservant

Name: FlyingSpaghettiM0nster
Age: 30
TTC #1
Cycle #2
3 DPO, CD 17
Trying to resist the urge to symptom spot because I know that you don't get symptoms until implantation but of course I'm crazy so over-analyse every twinge

sassenach84 · 30/01/2016 22:30

Hello ladies,

I lurked through the last thread but you had me at #clitsnotclots Grin

Age 31
TTC 1
Cycle 1
CD 28, DPO 4 (had planned for a nice DTD weekend this weekend but FW caught me by surprise early so just eating and sleeping instead!)

Been passing gas like a race horse for the last few days. Hoping it's a sign of something (anything! pg, PMS, IBS! lol) and that this is not normal behaviour that I usually don't notice when not TTC Confused.

Ni4444 · 30/01/2016 22:33

Stats...
Ni
Ttc#1
Cycle#4 (hate that it's been that many!)
CD 23/30-33
5dpo.... Hanging around waiting for symptoms!

Stark I thought dtd once a day was best to ensure good quality swimmers? Don't overdo it!! I'm hoping this is your cycle!! (and mine!!)

Evergreen15 · 30/01/2016 22:36

Thanks Co5mo. I am not feeling very hopeful. I am very tired as I have been with a cold. Also just hating the 2ww to a point where I just rather have AF already. Bah.
Planeteer I have 3 apps. You are not insane if you are, we all are, and if we all are, nobody is insane then
Ha! Now I am thinking my nipples are sensitive. But then again that is an AF symptom for me.
I am tired and fed up Envy

StarkyTheDirewolf · 30/01/2016 22:38

ni I know, I've just gone a teensy bit bonkers today. All I can think is "DH! IM OVULATING! FERTILISE ME!!" And he's not even here! Got all my fingers and toes crossed for us!

Welcome all newbies and lurkers! Huzzah and hurrah! Grin

FlyingSpaghettiM0nster · 30/01/2016 22:40

There's a 3rd app?!?! I have Ovia and FF, I didn't realise there was another one! You must tell me what it is so I can download it and tell the app and some weird perv that has hacked the app what position my cervix is in

sassenach84 · 30/01/2016 22:43

I'm using not one, not two, not three but four apps Blush variations for AF start can be as much as 10 days. Who are these people behind the apps!? Not doctors or scientists!

StarkyTheDirewolf · 30/01/2016 22:44

I use mydays as well as ovia SpagMon

FlyingSpaghettiM0nster · 30/01/2016 22:46

You must share the names of these apps so I can download them. It's like Pokemon.... gotta download them all. Still feel weird letting the apps know when I partake in intercourse. I can just imagine some teenage hacker getting off on knowing my CM is creamy Grin

FlyingSpaghettiM0nster · 30/01/2016 22:48

Starky, that cervix pic is my new favourite thing. I just hope I don'y get caught singing "Soft cervix, warm cervix" in work... that could get a tad embarrassing
