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?

Bellini, I'm so sorry. What a shitty pain in the arse.

I hope the wine is helping, and sending you virtual hugs x

Pugmummy87 · 31/01/2016 21:40

Thanks Elle & Spaghetti, I thought as much, seems you have to manually enter it.

I've just joined the fit bit billion steps challenge for sports relief. I need to increase my activity as I sit in a car/sofas/gp surgery most days at work anyway, so may as well do it for a good cause.

Bellini I'm glad you are looking on the bright side. Wine

FXSkip · 31/01/2016 21:54

Haha Bellini, that's the spirit! I'm straight back to the laser hair removal people at the first sight of a BFN!!

Kathrino · 31/01/2016 22:15

I have a good feeling about the fab feb bus. May all of our piss be filled with plenty of HCG.

latinata · 31/01/2016 22:16

Kat... please pop me on the Feb 3rd seat with Harriet!

IndiX · 31/01/2016 22:24

Kat I'm the 4th, counted my days wrong, sorry! However Ovia has told me to test on Tuesday 2nd?!! Aaaahhh what do I do? Stark I need your guidance/willpower

Ni4444 · 31/01/2016 22:26

Kat our newbie Flying and I are both testing on the 7th.
Thanks! 😘

StarkyTheDirewolf · 31/01/2016 23:01

Indi ovia tells you to test from 12 dpo (because she's a sadist). I'd always encurage waiting till af day to test. Because I ovulated this weekend, ovia tells me i can test from the 12th Feb, but af isn't due till 21st. But my af can be up to a week late, so it could be as late as the 27th.

Definetly a good way of looking at it bel botox and wine Flowers

Omg look at those new grads I missed congratulations!!! omg choc!!!!! we knew it!

Sorry gals I feel like I'm a few episodes behind watching a tv series Sad

latinata · 31/01/2016 23:41

Just eaten a giant vat of lentil dhal. Now will be impossible to interpret gassiness as a symptom... not sure if there's a 'lentils not baby' button on Ovia...

StarkyTheDirewolf · 01/02/2016 00:02

Ooh lentil dhal, I bloody love lentil dhal! But yes, toot toot, welcome aboard the fart express latin Grin

Ive got weird gas, not actual gas, just like a bubbly feeling in my tummy, not unpleasant though! And where my I'm assuming ovary is, it feels like I've got a pinched nerve! Let's hope it's getting fertilised as I type haha!

OP posts:
latinata · 01/02/2016 00:30

Haha, Starks, I Googled 'where is my ovary exactly?' a few days ago! Hoping you're experiencing fertilising fizz! If only it could be encouraged with actual fizzz...

StarkyTheDirewolf · 01/02/2016 02:48

😁 latin I've been googling 'bubbling sensation above public bone' and all sorts.

Trying to avoid using ttc acronyms or the word uterus in my googles as I've found that googling anything literally anything related to ttc will inevitably produce loads of results with 'I had this and I've just got my bfp' which only serves to fuel my the hysteria. Grin

miwelaisjacydo · 01/02/2016 06:09

Wowkat you really are the list queen.
How are we all this morning? Have missed loads and loads since yesterday. .
I caved today and did a test.
Now now confused had quite a clear positive on very cheap test.
I looked again five mins later and it has disappeared. That's not good is it?

Co5mo · 01/02/2016 06:39

I'm good thanks Miw. First day back at work for a week so dragging my sorry ass out of bed this morning wasn't easy. I don't really know what that test means. I'd be inclined to repeat on a FRER but those more experienced in hcg testing might have a better explanation.

Sitting on my hands as had a strong urge to test this morning (which strongly correlates with the number of cuddles I got from my friends 1 month old yesterday). Good job I haven't got any test in the house.

Mileymoocow · 01/02/2016 08:20

Morning guys, how is everyone? Any testers today????

I'm at my booking in appointment with midwife today which I'm so excited for. We've decided to tell mothers on mothers day (i'll be 9 weeks) but no one else until 12.

I'm not sure ether it's because I'm not symptom spotting anymore but other than sore boobs still and getting up at 3 am almost every morning for a wee I'm suffering nothing as of yet.

IndiX · 01/02/2016 08:41

Morning ladies!
That's so exciting Miley I think when I get my bfp I'll tell my mum pretty much straight away but no one else until later. I think the Mother's Day idea is lovely, what an amazing gift for them.
Cosmo hope your first day back goes well!

I feel pretty good today, symptoms are the same tender boobs/nipples, creamy cm and high cervix. I'm excited/anxious to take a test on Thursday. It's going to be hard to hold out until then but I promise I'll try stark!

How good is it to be out of miserable January btw? Summer is getting closer and hopefully lots of bfps this month!!

Chocaholic88 · 01/02/2016 08:53

miley that's sweet :) our parents and very close friends know already. Just a handful of people but they've all noticed I'm not my usual self and I'm never ever ill so the sickness gave me away. Day 2 of barely there sickness now... could it possibly be passing?! I hope so!

Good luck to all those still to test!

I have a toothache and even though I know I can take paracetamol safely in pregnancy... I really don't want to risk if. I sound like a wet blanket right?!

Chocaholic88 · 01/02/2016 08:54

indi that's all so positive... fingers crossed for you and please use a FRER 😂😂

IndiX · 01/02/2016 09:03

Choc I hope so! Yes will definitely use FRER, I'm so scared to get my hopes up though

SuchaJem · 01/02/2016 09:19

Morning all! I'm feeling good about Feb too. Am CD7, starting fw this week. DH is off to Chicago until Wednesday so coaxed him into DTD this morning just in case an egg cruises by early. He wasn't very impressed and said "I still need to iron a shirt" halfway through. Not very sexy.

Good luck to all testers, indi that does all sound very positive!
