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?

Harriet - the book is 'the baby making bible' x

Yvonne1986 · 09/02/2016 21:10

Sounds positive Pugmummy!

I'm 29 turn 30 in June I'm just hoping it will be a sober 30th celebration Confused

SuchaJem · 09/02/2016 21:13

meadow I'm just 32

harriet I think there's a lot to be said for DTD every other day throughout. I'm not sure I could keep it up, but it's pretty foolproof in terms of catching ov.

Completely with whoever said they miss one shag and think "that's it then"!

Lyssie · 09/02/2016 21:18

Meadow
I'm 19! Well, 20 soon (:

LaraG13 · 09/02/2016 21:24

jam interesting that you liked Preseed. We tried conceive plus and neither of us liked it. It actually seemed to make me drier once the initial moisture wore off. Didn't use an applicator though.

meadow I'm 33

Congrats pineapple, sorry missed your BFP earlier.

Feefeefs · 09/02/2016 21:31

harriet FF thinks it starts today and OVIA thinks Sunday so I've decided to have a 10day/2 week fertile week and try and cover my bases. Today was terribly successful though! Onwards! DH finishes night shift tomorrow so he'll be in better humour for the rest of it!

Holly300 · 09/02/2016 21:32

Meadow I am 29. DH is about to turn 31.

I'm hoping our anniversary on the 19th will be a sober one for me too!

stardusty5 · 09/02/2016 22:28

kat i think it went..! Something like 'do you know a secret that you can't tell anybody'.
Some people knew things about celebrities which is why it probably got deleted! Mumsnet has got all the goss haha!

stardusty5 · 09/02/2016 22:29

LillianFullStop · 09/02/2016 22:33

I think our time will come soon kat! You're right! Their success is our success :P love that you keep track of the percentage and hit rate lol!

Lyssie · 09/02/2016 22:35

Yeah, Kats-stats is what I like to call them... They give a sense of inclusion and hopefulness. "Someday, I'll join that percentage!"

stardusty5 · 09/02/2016 22:38

Sorry for the multiple posts but i'm on the app so can't refer to the thread to do a long post!

Cd5 here and AF is running out of steam! Looking forward to starting opking tomorrow though i don't think i'll ovulate until around cd20 ish. Interested to see how my levels look throughout the cycle. Going to aim to check at around teatime when i get in from work, and maybe add in a lunchtime check when i start to see CM changes.

Oh and i bought preseed after reading about it so much here!

In summary, 2 months in and i am clearly militant. Don't tell DH.

KatOnATinRo0f · 09/02/2016 22:41

stardust yeah i found it. there are so many threads!
who posted the link to that AIBU one earlier on? i read the whole thing.... I think i'll just chill out about TTC for now so I dont have to worry about all the rest of it!!
im 28.

KatOnATinRo0f · 09/02/2016 22:42

Lyssie · 09/02/2016 22:44

LillianFullStop · 09/02/2016 22:49
