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?

Sorry Jem, LMP is Last menstrual Period and EDD is Estimated Delivery Date.

Thanks Indi!

AliceScarlett · 05/02/2016 21:19

Does that mean human gestation is actually 38 weeks?

I would 100% be buying stuff even if I was 4+1 weeks pregnantBlush

Pugmummy87 · 05/02/2016 21:21

Lol Cosmo, it's a bit of an old fashioned way of working it out, back before there were scans! All babies grow at approximately the same rate for the 1st trimester of pregnancy, so you can reassure him! Grin

Pugmummy87 · 05/02/2016 21:26

Yes alice, technically human pregnancies are on average 38 weeks. It's the extra 2 weeks before ovulation added on which makes it 40 weeks.

TBH, hardly any babies arrive on their due date anyway! I believe its something tiny like 4% are born on their due date. A normal length of pregnancy is between 37-42 weeks anyway.

StarkyTheDirewolf · 05/02/2016 21:27

I'm minus weeks in pregnant not even a bit pregnant and already buying stuff Blush as predicted, Dh came home with the buggy after he'd been to the gym. It's in the box, stashed under the bed.

Thanks pug!
Agreed the support on here is amazing, not quite sure what I'd have done without this.

Mileymoocow · 06/02/2016 07:57

starky my view is that if it keeps you happy and positive then so what. We have bought quite a bit now. A bedding set, changing mat, moses basket and stand, room thermometer, lightshade and record book. We've already chosen the nursery colour too. I tried to control OH but it just wasn't happening. He's a very organised person we also know what pram and car seat etc we want

Co5mo · 06/02/2016 08:47

So I took this photo at 30 seconds! There's no mistaking the bfp now. Eeeek

Mileymoocow · 06/02/2016 09:18

co5mo Yay!!!! I had a feeling about you. Congratulations!!!!!

Co5mo · 06/02/2016 09:26

Thanks everyone. We are a bit she'll shocked but very happy.

Cycle 2 Alice. No real symptoms to shout about and no obvious ewcm this month so I can't quite believe it. I was sick just after ovulation too so thought we had no chance.

Mileymoocow · 06/02/2016 09:28

For fear of stepping on toes...

twinkydink · 06/02/2016 09:32

Congrats co5mo I've barely been on here this week as work has been ridiculously busy but so nice to come on and be greeted by such lovely news!Grin

AliceScarlett · 06/02/2016 09:33

Cycle 2 is awesome, well done :) I also never see ewcm so your bfp is a comfort to me Smile

Laurenrl · 06/02/2016 09:36

Hi everyone!

Just catching up and loving the pet pictures from the other day! Feel like I've missed out so here's my little ragdoll cat!

Hope you're all feeling well

And congratulations Cosmo!

Just catching up as had a busy day yesterday!

Laughing at Miley's faceplanting man and trying to blame the smelly farts on the dog! Hope you have stepped away from the pickled cabbage now.

Loving the sound of the crochet baby items and blankets Starky and Kat. I do love a nice cosy throw and squares sound manageable.

Genius idea about the dark toilet paper Jem though must admit Starky has put me off, not sure a swollen flange is going to be a great start to FW!

Hi Lara, how are things?

ElleSarcasmo · 06/02/2016 09:41

Congratulations *Co5mo! Flowers Flowers Flowers
That's a beauty of a BFP! Smile

KatOnATinRo0f · 06/02/2016 09:41

Yay!!!!! Congrats Cosmo !!!! So happy for you! Cycle 2 as well what a winner!!!

We are now 34.5% pregnant! It's slowly going up!!!!!

anyone else anyone else???? I'm due AF tomorrow but quickly had a wee so I didn't get a chance to stick things in my fmu. I'm sure it will arrive at some point today or tomorrow.

Good luck everyone else! We have little belle due today as well so good luck to you!

Pinklily1 · 06/02/2016 09:42

congratulations Cosmo! A nice clear BFP Smile
