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?

Planet I've got you on the grads bus now, we are 34.5% pregnant. Yay :)
Who's next?? Haha

Yvonne I'm just starting cycle 7.... Feeling really low about it tbh.

Thanks Kat and sorry you're feeling stressed

Are your cycles regular Kat? It is so hard to not get down about it xx

Yay! Congratulations Planet!

I'm with you kat woke up feeling very frustrated this morning. I'm on cycle 2, but cycle 1 started right back on the 4th December. And cycle 2 doesn't end for another two weeks. So Its becoming slightly wearing now.

Mood probably not helped by the fact that I woke myself up twice wailing because of nightmares. Well, I woke Dh up because I was wailing and he had to wake me up to get me to turn over. My poor little Coco has to go to the vets in an hour too, she's got a lump on her face

Congratulations plant!! Lovely news, I don't know how you stopped yourself testing for last long though? You have the patience and willpower of a saint!

Yes pretty much... Came off the pill in August, they've been 26-28 days each time, so not wildly different. This last one was 28days and got me excited for a few hrs. Lol

Thanks FX; love a good ambiguous symptom!

Kat - I'm on cycle 2 this month, with a 31 day cycle - I'm already exhausted

Cycle 2 as well.

Congrats Plant! Amazing news.

Love the stats, 34.5% is pretty darn good.

Anyone following the birth story on AIBU? Scary.This is why I'm going to push for a HB or MLU, even though it will be my 1st.

What's AIBU???

Starky that's rubbish about nightmares. Hate it when brain won't turn off and let you actually sleep. Fx all ok with little Coco too!

Indi I feel like a bit of a doofus for not testing sooner. Got a bfn last week and that plus positive opks made me think I'd only just ovd. Will be v interested to see how far along I actually am. Gah!

I'll push off to the grads thread but would love to keep popping up here to see how you're doing. Here's to a veritable avalanche of BFPs in the coming weeks!

Yeah planet!! That's definitely a lovely looking line, huge congrats to you!!

Congrats Planeteer, that's fantastic news! So happy for you!

intetestrd in the prog cream snow. What does it do and what made you decide to try it?

Sorry to hear some of you are getting fed up with this whole Ttc business. kat, I'm on cycle 3 of 'trying', by which I mean monitoring fertile weeks etc. but cycle 4 of unprotected sex.

She's got to have it removed, next Tuesday, best part of £300. It was traumatic, Coco doesn't like people poking in her ear, or her face. She weights 2.5k and it took two of us to attempt to keep her still, she's like a bloody ferret! I need a strong drink!

Huge congrats planeteer!!! 💐

Alice whats the thread called? I'm intrigued! bored at work

Starky that's horrible, you are making it better for her, and you'll be there to give her lots of cuddles after and thats the main thing.

Go Planet (in voice of captain planet! 🌍) That's fantastic news!!

Aw poor Coco! Great excuse for cuddles on the sofa Stark!

Snow tell us more about the progesterone! How, why, where? My luteal phase was quite short this time 10 days I think i wonder if something briefly stuck then fell off! Acupuncture lady (who is on maternity leave now but still telling me to send over my charts! Bless her!) reckons it's not a problem, but to keep a thermometer an eye on it!

Man I am struggling with headacheyness..wonder if I'm coming down with something

CD5. Kat I'm cycle 5 (but reminding myself of 20% chance every month, and I reckon we only timed sex right 2 months so far!) meh come on already!!

FKSkip - I think people are referring to this one - www.mumsnet.com/Talk/am_i_being_unreasonable/2565096-to-want-some-peace-and-quiet-on-the-ward?pg=1

Please don't read if you are particularly worried about birth/labour. It's very upsetting and might have triggers if anyone had a bad experience in the past.

Planet congratulations! So glad you decided to test after that positive opk. May you have a very boring and happy 9 months ahead.
When you got a bfn last week, what did you test with? An ic or a frer ?

Congratulations Planeteer! That's a lovely line!

Kat sorry to hear you're worried. I know how you feel. It is so stressful trying and not knowing when/if it's going to happen. It's hard to know what to advise-I will be over 35 by the time we get to 6 months so will be eligible for NHS testing but would look into private testing-would that be an option for you? I think Ni's OH might have had some sperm testing? (Did I remember right *Ni?) Hugs to you

Starky sorry Coco is having to go through that. It will make all the difference having you there to cuddle her.

Congrats pineapple and planteer! Wow you must be so excited.

Sorry your feeling down kat I'm cycle 3
