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?

Hope the 6th cycle is the charm for you Kwick 🍀

Miley 6 weeks! That has gone quick.

No plans for Valentine's Day here. We might go to the cinema. We're not the most romantic couple though!

How many dpo are you Lyssie?

Hi ladies! How is everyone getting on? Any news?
Haven't had a chance to catch up as you move so fast, will try have a read through now xx

Morning indi! I don't think there's a lot of news (sorry to anyone I've missed!)
choc has her scan on 23rd Feb and the rest of us are hoping our eggo gets preggo!

So 5-6 dpo for me today. Cramps are mostly gone but I'm sooooo windy! Seriously, how my DH thinks I'm attractive enough to poke his willy my way I'll never know!!! I'm gross right now.
Relatively sore nips still here but it's probably normal for me this time of month (actually I think it's a bit earlier).
Waiting for phantom egg to nest itself in the next day or two fx

Thanks for the updated katstats 📊📈 kat!
I'm kidding myself if I think I'm going to hold out to the 20th 😂 I'll try though!

I had a dream you were pregnant last night zazzles 😂😂 I checked my phone and you had posted in here about it. Then I went to visit our labour ward and all the babies were cantaloupe melons... random!! 😂🙈🙊

😂😂😂 That's hilarious choc!
You took the dream away for me with the melons thing tho! Next time dream we're having cute squishy babies! 😂

I think I got confused about being a grad. I am ttc baby 1 and this is my first cycle. I know there are acronyms for that. Bit about me

• live in south east London
• I run a small business doing IT Sourcing. Which basically means doing big IT deals for companies. Anyone who is interested in what that is message me but I will presume the details would send people to sleep!

I am 32 and my OH is 28 and we met when I was 28 and he was 24. This is the first time he has said he actually wants to start trying.

I had a break down 2 years ago and the road to recovery has been long and slow and hard. I am still suffering anxiety etc but am trying to control everything so that I can calmly ttc.

Sorry for essay but I really want to join in so thought some background may help. Pleased to see we have lots of medical professionals :-) X

Hi kat I cheated and tested on 10th BFN, tested again on 11th like I should have and another groundbreaking BFN. why do I do this to myself?! Again this morning (because AF hasn't shown and she's normally on time) and its a confusing one. Was using a boots cheapie one and didn't bother doing it properly with a cup and just caught the flow for 3 seconds so I think I've stuffed it up and wasted my FMU. Does anyone have pics of what a BFP looks like on the cheapie sticks?

Results are inconclusive so please put me in the stats to try again tomorrow or be woken up with AF for Valentine's Day lol

Have you got a photo of it lillian??

I mid FW/10 days. No EWCM as yet so it looks as tho oviabitch might be right. Also had mad dreams last night including one about snogging prince William

elle that's what my OH keeps saying. I feel like it's dragging! I have horrible morning sickness, too I spewed on a walk with the dog this morning which was embarrassing and the milkman who was coming out of a gate asked me if I'd had a rough night!

We're not doing anything for valentines day, I'm at work and neither of us are particularly fussed about it. We don't even get cards

lillian this was my cheapy test bfp at only 11dpo so very faint

Thanks miley! I thought I could see something faint like yours but I think I stuffed mine up as I had shaky hands and quite sure I went past the max line because the top paper was lifting up.

I've thrown it in the bin feef I'd fish it out but the instructions say results after 3 minutes are invalid. I don't want to get my hopes up so I will try with a proper FRER or CB tomorrow!

We don't really do anything special for v day anymore after more than 10 years together so this weekend we're spending with friends!

Fx lillian
It really has been lovely seeing so many BFP's on here in the month or so I've been lurking. Definitely helps see the whole process in a positive light!

For those interested, I live just North of London and work in a police type role. Slightly vague but not ready to out myself just yet!! Ha ha

Aw moose I've always wanted to work in the police force! My ultimate job would be a mounted heehee officer

Unfortunately, however, it's notoriously difficult to get into the police nowadays I'd be northumbria force so work as a lab analyst for a pharmaceutical company

Rebecca Welcome! I also suffer with anxiety (and depression), but I'm doing loads better now than I was a couple years ago. I find my progress is slow and gradual but when I look back I can see real improvements. I know it is tough but you are doing great

Lill Exciting! Let us know how you get on with a more expensive one.

We probably won't do anything this year to be honest for Vday, we usually do a little something but we don't have much money at the moment and I couldn't find any nice Valentines day cards here (in France), I don't think it's as big a deal here as back in the UK. I don't know, we may pop out for a drink or something in the evening. We are going swimming in the morning as usual, DH is trying to teach me how to swim! I can do it with a float in one hand but nothing more yet!

Choc That dream made me LOL!

Interesting reading about all your professions. I am a student! I study Law and French.

Looking forward to tomorrow's test lillian!

Oooo miley are you horsey?

My job heavily involves horses... so much I almost get tired of talking, writing and looking at them... almost 😂😂

choc yep! I've been riding since I was 4 and used to do British eventing. My claim to fame is that I competed at olympia and made it on to tv in 2009 haha!

Sadly I lost my boy 2 years ago and haven't had the courage to get another so I spend a lot of my time breaking in and schooling other people's horses and giving children lessons

Here you go. The steed with the biggest heart

No Starky Star for me! I caved and tested two days ago which was way too early. Obviously a BFN. But I'm glad I got one out of the way I think the anticipation of doing my first ever test was killing me!

Wanted to do one this morning as last month AF was here by CD25 and now on CD26. But DP is the sensible one and wants to wait so we don't get hopes up. I've only had two cycles post pill, first was 30 days and second was 24 so ovia and FF put me at an average cycle of 27 so would technical be late if AF doesn't arrive on Monday.

What would you guys do, test Monday or wait till the 30 days as that's my longest cycle?

Just want AF to show now so I can't start a new cycle!

twinky I would say wait until 30 days but I'd be a hypocrite. I was terrible for testing early

First thing tomorrow for sure!
