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?

Hello everyone feel like have been awol for ages. Just got to haft term and am glad of break. ( I work in a school). How has everyone been?

miwelaisjacydo · 12/02/2016 18:32

Am thinking about Valentine's Day where DH and I will have know each other for ten years. What can I cook? Also have venison steaks on offer what sauce can I do with them?

rebeccajones · 12/02/2016 18:52

Red wine and red currant jus!
We are doing the 20 pound meal from waitrose. Tuna steak :-).

Def ovulating so I am getting ready to pounce on OH when he gets home haha

Pugmummy87 · 12/02/2016 18:59

We have a few medical professionals on here haven't we. Kat must think I'm very naughty not going to the dentist for 5 years then Blush

I'm a community midwife.

Re body changes. That does concern me a bit. I've lost quite a bit of weight over the last 2 years and as such I have areas of 'sagginess' and faded stretchmarks. Not bothered about boobs as they have never been pert at all, they've always been quite pendulous lol. Not worried about vag either as pelvic floor exercises will help with that (really important things to do, can't stress that enough) .

I'm also only 4'11 1/2 (that 1/2 is important ok Wink) and I think I'll be as round as I am high! I was driving the other day and looked down and thought 'I'm not going to be able to drive past 30 weeks' the bump will be in the way!

Planning on eating well during pregnancy to avoid excessive weight gain.

CD 28 today , 11-14dpo. Still getting brownish discharge (normal a few days before af), no cramps, just a pulling sensation low down. Sore Nipples have gone, so I'm pretty sure af is on her way. Bitch will probably arrive on Monday when I go back to work after having this week off.

My bedroom is all painted now!

Kwick709 · 12/02/2016 19:37

Don't want to be negative but progesterone cream can give many of the symptoms associated with being upduffed....

Kathrino · 12/02/2016 19:44

Evening ladies! Been a super crazy week at work (I'm a consultant in the financial services industry and just started a new project) so I'm celebrating the end of AF with a large glass of wine. Going to a wedding tomorrow so planning on a hangover-filled Valentines Day. The benefits of not being upduffed!

The body changes one is interesting. I always thought that the best thing about pregnancy would be being able to eat whatever you want, whenever you want but I've come to the sad realisation that it's probably not the case unless I want to end up the size of a house.

Snowdog37 · 12/02/2016 20:16

kwick that's why I'm reserving judgement til af shows. Nothing to get excited about until there's reason to be excited 😊

Snowdog37 · 12/02/2016 20:50

I did just get my legs and Brazilian waxed (sorry way tmi Blush ) and holy hell it hurt so much more than usual!!!!! I usually get it done after af but I wanted to treat dh for valentines lol. Does it hurt more usually right before af, does anyone know? Because bugger me I had to be peeled off the ceiling. I won't be getting it done at this time of my cycle again that's for sure. Am having a pain killing glass of vino shortly. Not sure I'll be able to sit down let alone treat dh lol.

SuchaJem · 12/02/2016 21:22

That does sound positive snow, here's hoping its third time lucky for you.

The boobs thing - is that a sign of pregnancy AND AF? I thought it could be pregnancy symptom but I've seen posts on here saying sore boobs = pmt.

Such a bloody minefield.

Chocaholic88 · 12/02/2016 21:26

snow I have the pain threshold of a wild moose and at the moment I am feeling things so much more than usual! I usually know I'm in pain when my body threatens to pass out, however I plucked a few stray eyebrow hairs the other night and my God! What sort of sadist decited we should even do that 😂😂

As for boobs sucha I never had sore boobs before AF but massively sore ones before my bfp... but some of my friends get sore boobs a few days before the witch appears. I realise that info doesn't help at all lol. Sorry xx

Pugmummy87 · 12/02/2016 21:43

Sucha a lot of very early pregnancy symptoms are also symptoms of upcoming af. Why can't we just get a flashing neon sign that appears on our bellies instead telling us one way or the other.

SuchaJem · 12/02/2016 21:48

Flashing neon would be soooooo welcome right now.

Am quite enjoying this website this evening

Kathrino · 12/02/2016 22:20

Ha, I am all for a flashing neon sign. Think how many hours of stressing it would solve and we'd never have to log a symptom in Ovia again!

rebeccajones · 12/02/2016 22:58

Graduate missed me :-(

SuchaJem · 12/02/2016 23:20

Thanks kat

📈📊

StarkyTheDirewolf · 12/02/2016 23:29

Thanks kat nearly 14 dpo. Only a week till af is supposed to arrive! Sore GIANT boobs, weepy as a weeping thing, everything is setting me off! And mild cramp. If I was a betting woman I'd say I was out this month.

Can't remember who asked but basically every pregnancy symptom can also be an af symptom. Because mother nature is a cruel mistress!

Hello all, just checking in. Hope youre all doing well!

Currently cd9 and really hate the proliferative tww! Plan was to dtd every other day up until fw but it all seems so pointless, and not even any symptoms to spot!
Enjoying opking as at least it gves me something to track each day. All v low, barely there lines so far which is to be expected.

KatOnATinRo0f · 13/02/2016 03:31

rebecca I'm sorry if i missed you!! are you a grad??? please let me know and i can alter the katstats!!

Lyssie · 13/02/2016 03:53

Good luck starky! One more week to wait and see (: I feel like you deserve it, as the spearhead of our gaggle of females.

What does everyone do for a living? I'm always curious what we all do when we're not just trying to make babies. (:

Lyssie · 13/02/2016 05:48

Okay, new thing... Been trying not to symptom spot but I've got a strange case of the weepy-tits! My breasts feel strange. My nipples are really sensitive and one nipple(left) is considerably larger!!!!

Kwick709 · 13/02/2016 07:09

suchajem the complete fucker is that nearly all the symptoms of being upduffed ARE THE SAME as the pre-af ones...so unfair

I had an awful dream last night - fortunately I was able to wake myself up before it got too bad but it really interrupted my night. Now I hav just been woken again with my alarm to take my nasal spray... Going to try and settle down again and sleep some more.

Kwick709 · 13/02/2016 07:12

kat ace kat stats!!!!!

ElleSarcasmo · 13/02/2016 07:36

Ooh cat cafe in Leicester! We go up there a bit to visit family so will have to check it out.

Choco Sad about your SIL. Facebook slagging of your children's father is not cool. Hope she bucks up her ideas.

I'm in Worcs Kat, it is beautiful Smile. Good point about the dog cafe!! I was imagining snuggling little pugs on your lap but not sure I'm that keen to have my leg humped!

Great KatsStats!

Your jobs all sound so cool and interesting! I'd love to know which magazine it is Choc! I ❤️ my dentist Kat! I'm a dr, don't judge me for my lack of fertility knowledge! Blush in a totally unrelated specialty, happy to message people which one but posted a thread about where to live which would totally out me to anyone I know!

Explodicated is a great word Choco!

Trying not to think about body changes too much. I already have loads of puberty stretch marks so will prob have loads more. I put on weight quite easily but am quite naturally muscular (sturdy you might say!) so do tone up quickly with exercise.

Welcome Moose!

Fx for you testing today Snow!
