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?

Hi to the newbies!

jamjar DH and I went to see Deadpool today too. Fricking awesome!

*Starky I'm bored of this cycle too now. CD 26. Yawnnnnn.

It's this part of the long cycles that kill me pug if I had a 30 day cycle I could cope, but knowing I've probably got at least another week and a half, potentially 2 weeks before I can start again, feels like an eternity! And even then it'll be another two-three weeks after that that im into fw again!

Thanks Jem, fx for you too

Starky that is a PITA. I am bored already of the 2ww (4/5 dpo). No symptoms other than a liking for mini eggs-haha at your DH friend Jam!

Welcome newbies

stark where are you at now? are we waiting for an O or for an AF??

pug how long do you have left to wait? exciting times !!! you may be next !!

Waiting on af kat not due till the 21st though. As of 2 mins ago am cd 29 and 12 dpo. No apparent signs or symptoms of being upduffed though. Sore boobs as per usual cycle on run up to af. You're on the road to o day now in the next week or so aren't you?

elle it's just so long and boring, last week flew by and I was positive. Do on as my boobs started swelling and being sore, pretty much sure I'm out. Just waiting for af now.

Yep, I'm on the O-road. haha
CD4 (just)
boobs have deflated. (I have been really enjoying my slightly bigger boobies in the week before AF arrives. never had that on the pill) bloody sore though.
had my pecs massaged by a big Australian man this morning, so still feeling a bit sore in the general area though.
I think DH and i better spend more time this month cuddling and not sitting next to each other on our pad/pc/phone.... no wonder they had more kids in days-gone-by! nothing else to do ;) !!
off to sleep, night all.

Haha kat me & DH are terrible with the amount of time we spend on our phones - every now and again we have a ban in the evening

Welcome rebecca!

Love your dog pic starky, I'm 100% a dog person 🐶

So, 3-4 dpo today. I've woken up mega early with period pain like cramps & backache & hot flash.
I know it's too early to have any symptoms but it's weird for me at this stage in cycle can't say I've noticed it before.

harriet I just got frustrated by OVIA as she changes things so much. FF and OVIA both give me different weeks so going to cover both

I've given up on both of them. Just entering my positive OPKs and AF data so I have a rough guide to dates but I can't stand the silly comments. We're always told that being anxious is detrimental to getting pregnant but those apps are encouraging us to be neurotic and anxious!

Well Kat, I'm anywhere from 10-13dpo. Irregular cycles meant I wasn't going to test until the 17th in case this one decided to be a longer cycle again. I'm inclined to believe the peak reading I got on the clear blue opk on the 29/1 along with ewcm and ovulation type pains that day which makes me 13dpo

However, I strongly suspect I'm out. Typical af like cramps when since I've woken up today, brownish discharge/spotting as well. Sore Nipples continue, but this seems to be a typical luteal phase symptom for me.

We'll see, but I'm preparing for the imminent arrival of the witch.

zazzles very similar to you - I think I'm 4dpo and have had cramps and pain in lower abdomen yesterday and today. It was so strong it woke me up yesterday morning and rumbled away most of the day. Not the kind of pain I get around AF at all, and too early for me.

Jamjar true dat. Ovia convinced me I was upduffed, so I bought ICs in anticipation of using them within the week - lo and behold AF turned up at 4am this morning. Cheers body!! None the less I am happy to have had a 31 day cycle this time round.

Anyone want to see my ovary with (possibly) a corpus luteum?

Well here it is!

You're not out yet Starky, fx for you.

Hope AF stays away Pugmummy.

I'm similar to you Jem and Zazzles but no symptoms here. Not feeling very hopeful this month. DH and I talked about dtd more so we'll see what happens next month. Not very romantic is it?!

Oh that's cool First, I imagine it was easier to see on the scan itself rather than stills.

elle not really no. a scan on your abdomen is always harder to get good views of the ovaries. an internal scan gives much clearer images as you are closer to them

Yayyy ladies I have news... scan date 23rd Feb ☺😊☺😊☺

Sorry First, I meant that the moving image shows what you are looking at better than if you try to take a screenshot, ime anyway!

Woohoo Choco! How are you feeling now?

elle pretty good! Very very tiny waves of nausea but only when I'm tired. Sore boobs on and off but nothing like they were... Otherwise rocking along :)

Yay Choc 😊

Yay choc!!! About time

elle I wouldn't worry about lack of symptoms, most people don't get any!

jem ooh how strange. Definitely not feeling right, still quite crampy. Vey tired (but that's because bad night sleep). Maybe I've got a cold coming? Not been ill yet this winter so probably due one!
When are you due to test? (Same as me I think? 20th?)

Glad to hear it Choc! Can't wait to hear how far along your little cocoa bean is

Thanks Zazzles, I have everything crossed but don't think we dtd enough and unsure if we did it at the right time. You on the other hand deserve a medal for your efforts!!

Hello 😊💐 yay to choc for finally getting a scan date!!!
9dpo here, starting to feel crampy like af is rolling in soon. My chart shows pretty good stable temps though so I'm crossing everything. I didn't spot this month like I did last month!!! The progest cream might have actually helped stop the spotting, which is a good thing I hope. No major symptoms. Boobs a little sore, I rolled onto my front in bed and was surprised that they hurt a bit. One weird thing I had yesterday was my heart beat seemed way faster/stronger iyswim? Probably nothing. But I was sat down chilling and it still felt too fast. Should probably see the dr if it happens again 😜

Alrighty back to work yay. Will try to catch up on all of the thread later, it's really hard on a phone 😝

Have a great Thursday everyone 🍻🍰 it's nearly testing time and Valentine's Day ❤️🎉❤️🎉❤️
