Thread 10 ttc#1 The one where we're all really bored of hormones, the tww and cervical mucus or Why is my eggo not preggo!?

[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 10, 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?

Morning everyone! How are we all feeling?

Sorry I've been off the map with the photo shoots for work. Any news?

I had some horrible news last night. A dear friend of mine had her 20 week scan yesterday and they found no heartbeat. I'm absolutely heartbroken for her and just didn't know what to say :( they are taking her into hospital tomorrow to induce her. I spent half of last night in tears to my OH, a mix of upset for her and sheer horror at something happening so close to home...

Maybe it's just me but I disn't worry about anything that far along (and I already have two kids!)

Talking of them, off for an emergency blood test tomorrow as both kids have slapped cheek and they need to test my immunity- it can be super dangerous for pregnant women... never a dull moment!

[SpaceDinosaur]

Wow! Congratulations to everyone who has had a BFP!!!

WHY THE FUCK ARE EARLY PREGNANCY SYMPTOMS LIKE BAD PRE MENSTRUAL SYMPTOMS???

I'm adding achy boobs to my symptom spotting cray cray. But sometimes I get that before AF. Bitch.

Can't POAS for 5 more days.

AAAAAAAGHHH!!!

And rest.

[Yvonne1986]

[Yvonne1986]

I'll definitely stay on this thread 😁 I'm embarrassed to show anyone else my ttc cray cray 😜😂. We are going March 10th I think for 6-8 weeks by which stage we hope I'll have an interview date. I'm hoping to get the medical done before we go. It's fast moving but slow moving at the same time 😜 Hoping all the paperwork goes through smoothly. I'll be traveling during my 2ww and that makes me a bit nervous but it should be fine?

[SuchaJem]

moggy you wee into a GU ramekin and pop the OPK in there 😁

[Kwick709]

starky I love your doggy :)

So here is the deal - I am desperate for af to start as that means the cycle of IVF will start... if af is delayed then I have a slight challengette in that I have work trip coming up... trying to keep calm and zen like... af please come!!!

I must say that during this down regulation cycle it has been so nice not to have a 2WW - but I am ready to start injections and scans and blood tests if it means I will get closer to my dream of being a mummy.

I will have to watch Spice Girls movie whilst still on my free trial with netflix... my all time fav SG song... two become one

[Moggysinger]

Yvonne congraaaaaats! Yayayay!!

[twinkydink]

Congrats Yvonne I was thinking it was about time we were due a BFP there have been far too many visits from AF in the last couple of days!

[Moggysinger]

Wow feefs I'm seriously impressed that your dh didn't mind the lozengers! turned on by the lozengers?! He is truly commited to ISW

I have been rather pleased with our efforts so far this month, dh has been obliging despite my very unsexy demands for sex last night when oviabitch decided to end fw with no notice! Time to give the neighbours a night's peace tonight I think!

I need to get me some of these opks. Do you all get them from amazon? Any technique or is it just piss on a stick?

[SuchaJem]

stark spice world fan huh? 😂

[Kwick709]

Fantastic news Yvonne well done!!! This is a lucky thread :)

Hope you are feeling better elle

[Evergreen15]

[StarkyTheDirewolf]

ALL OF THIS IS IN CAPS BECAUSE OF IMPORTANT SPICE WORLD THE MOVIE REASONS!

[ZazzlesTheCat2]

Thanks ladies
Too true. I need to get a grip.. Pity party over

jem what a beauty! My fur baby is snuggled next to me in bed (my DH is out, so taking advantage )

[Kwick709]

miley sorry to hear about all the chucking up...I will not share the secret that since planning to have a baby I have been collecting the sick bags off planes and now have quite a stash

Starky sorry about af but yay for shorter cycles!

[SuchaJem]

Here's another pic of my ridiculous fur baby - he tolerates my need to mother and nurture for now 🙄

[SuchaJem]

zazz look at Yvonne - almost symptom free. You just don't know. Is mental.

I'm 11dpo and as you all know have about a million symptoms but chances are it'll all be in my head and result in a bfn. I need to get a grip, although I'm putting it down to being a rookie cycle 2. I'll toughen up 💪🏼

[Kwick709]

Starky I have a neighbour who always comes home in the wee hours and makes such a racket... sometimes I also get the delight (major sarcasm) of a waft of skunk come into my flat...

Miley sorry to hear about your granddad... hope he is now on the mend. You are so lucky to still have grandparents... mine have all now passed away - although my English grandfather had a really good innings and died just before his 101st birthday :)

mooseville I hope you are feeling better.

[Feefeefs]

Look at what yvonne said though zazzles hardly any symptoms!! You're not out yet!

[ZazzlesTheCat2]

Aw starky what a cutie 🐶

Sorry for all the AFs that have arrived today

Hope you're feeling better soon feef

I'm about 8dpo today. Boobs a little sensitive but not as much as the last week. Cervix still low and soft (don't know whether that's good or bad!). Mild cramping.
Really hoping this is my cycle but I appear to be getting less symptoms the closer I'm getting to af

[Kwick709]

Blimey this thread is move extra fast.. it will be time for a new one soon! I am only on page 33 - so sorry if my comments are dated..

suchajem glad I made you laugh... they say this is really helpful for implantation

snowdog wow things are moving fast for your move over... I do hope you stay on the thread!

[SuchaJem]
