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?

ipatches am so sorry.

Haven't been on here for days and thought I'd just have a quick catch up.

Ipatches I just saw your sad news. I'm so sorry, you must be devastated :( make sure you get plenty of rest and look after yourself. I have my fx for you for the next cycle.

Congrats co5mo

So sorry ipatches. You must be so so sad. But it will happen for you when your body knows it's right. Hopefully very soon xx

miley OH and I are still going through divorce with our exes. She was a bullying selfish cow (she bookmarked her engagement ring on his computer, booked a weekend away and told him to make it happen) then booked the wedding venue within a week without him even seeing it... not pushy at all!!

I spent £16 on my wedding dress, and £20 on our rings... that's how shoddy our wedding was...

OH ex spent £15k on their wedding....

Neither of our marriages have lasted so goes to show its got nothing to do with the day. Do it because you love each other. That's what we'll be doing :)

patches I'm so sorry mate, will be thinking of you and sending love

twink frer are the ones to use if you're testing early, although I'd try and hold out for 14 dpo, and it's much more reliable then.

miley we had a marquee in my dms large back garden and a posh bbq, the chef was AMAZING, literally omg the fooooood! My dress was £150 out of a charity shop (100% convinced my late dgm had put it there for us to find) and it was all yellow and white flowers and loveliness! Best day of my life! We made invitations ourselves, and homemade chocolate truffles for favours. Dad did the disco off his laptop. Mum did the wedding (vicar) and it was very much a personalised, family style affair. Would recommend it to everyone! Can't believe it's nearly been a year!

Choc not at all, you are just lucky
Kathrino I throw imaginary objects at them
IPatches so sorry to hear. I can't even begin to imagine how you feel. I am sure we are all here sending you best wishes and virtual hugs xx

kat you and me both. Boobs are tender this morning and my skin is sensitive. And I can't face my morning brew. All pms symptoms.

Interesting new symptoms though. Stabby pain in my middle. I'm sure my mind is just inventing things though for me to go "ooh, that's different!" And it's probably not even there. Vibro-tum is still going strong on/off!

ever feel like I haven't said hello to you for ages! So hellooooooo !!

Starky your wedding sounded perfect so romantic....

Blimey I just teared up at How I met your mother cos Robin cant have kids :(

I was sharing vajayjay names with my cousin yesterday and she misheard fanjo as vanjo... Excellent!

So sorry patches, that's really shit.

So sorry ipatches 😢💐 that's beyond sucky. Look after yourself.

kwick I know everyone probably gushes about their own wedding but it really was a lovely day and we were sooo lucky with the weather! Which made a massive difference to the bbq and the general feeling I think.we did all the centrepieces and little bits ourselves. I made a load of bunting and my other grandma and auntie made our cake. Honestly couldn't have asked for a more perfect day!

I'm so sorry Ipatches, it must be devastating 😢

Love vanjo kwick

Thanks everyone. Spent literally all of yesterday in tears before pouring wine down my neck. More tears today. I didn't expect to feel like this. It's just to have such a high last weekend of two really clear BFPs, and then the crushing blow that I couldn't even hold onto the pregnancy for a week. I don't know if I'll be okay again. I certainly won't look at TTC with the excitement and optimism I had going into this. Even if I do conceive, all I can see is it being tainted with fear and anxiety that the same will happen.

starky your wedding sounds absolutely perfect ❤

choc wow. Your OH's ex is like the ultimate psycho.

Hugs ❤️ Ipatches 😢 You have loads of love and support from all of us. I know we aren't physically there but we are all here to support you. It's a huge thing you're going through and we will all be here. Huge hugs ❤️

Just catching up and adding some more hugs for you ipatches, I'm so sorry. Look after yourself x

I'm so sorry patches like snow says we are all here to give you love and support, it's so hard to find the words to say. We're here for you, such a roller coaster. Got you in my thoughts 🌼🌸🌹

Hello back Starky!!! [waves] your wedding dress sounds lovely and the party itself as well.
Choc we were having that discussing at work the other day. How big or small engagement party/ wedding say nothing about what the marriage will turn out to be.

I am not married but I would like to marry my DP. He is well aware of this. And now with TTC I would like it as well for the babies sake. I have been here for over ten years but always worry that they will decide to send us all foreigners away one day and that then me and baby will be split up from DP . Everyone says nah!!!! But one does worries.
I am back from hell period hormones and feeling loads more positive. Also spoke to DP regarding sex life and I am relieved

I'm so sorry ipatches. I won't say I know how you feel, but I had an early MC in Nov at 6 wks and I can tell you how I felt in case it's any help. I was devastated, and I felt like I couldn't justify feeling so sad about losing a pregnancy so early on, but then I realised that I wasn't just mourning the pregnancy, but also the plans that had come with it - the 12 wks scan, the due date etc. We decided to wait for at least one cycle before trying again, which I found very hard because I just wanted to be pregnant again right away. I was still tracking using opks and I ovulated a week later than normal. For some reason, seeing that positive opk mad me feel a whole lot better. And then once AF came, I felt a lot more positive; it was a brand new cycle. I'm now on my second cycle since the MC and I'm a lot more cautious but I have got most of the excitement back as well. Obviously when I do get that bfp, I'm sure it'll be mixed emotions and the first milestone will be to get past 6 wks. But I'm confident it will happen.
The nurse at the epau told me that 1 in 4 (or even as many as 1 in 3) pregnancies end in early miscarriage. A lot of those will probably go undetected (women thinking it's AF), but unfortunately it's also a taboo subject that people don't like to talk about.

My doctor said to look at the positives - at least I know I can get pregnant. It was a bit insensitive at the time, but I can appreciate it now!

Sorry for the essay!

ever it was my Dh that spotted the dress, but didn't see me in it till the day of the wedding!

pyxie I'm so sorry you had to go through that. What a thoughtful and beautifully articulated post.

You poor love ipatches I can't begin to imagine the hurt and pain :( Take good care of yourself and be kind to yourself.

ever glad you've had a good chat with your partner. It does help so much to get things out and talked through.

I feel like we've turned a bit of a corner too - we had a good shag this morning and DH was very obliging for the first time since ttc. Before he was all "This doesn't feel natural all you want me for is my sperm etc etc blah".

CD 14 today and we've DTD Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Sunday. Will crack on similar next week as have still not POAS and not entirely sure when will ov.
