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!?

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?

Hey ni ! No bfp's of late I don't think. I'm now 10 mins into 15 dpo. Going slowly insane because af isn't due for another week. Not testing as per usual but may see if we can nip out this week for a frer, just to have in the house, possibly just to get af to hurry up! If I do a frer then af will definitely show up an hour later! Don't reckon I've managed it this month though. Other than standard af symptoms I've got nothing out of the ordinary really.

What show did you go to see? I love the theatre! We're doing valentine's day on Monday because Dh has to work tomorrow. Xx

Staky you really are resilient! What are you planning for your Monday valentines?
DH just sent me a lovely text asking to be my valentines. He did this exactly ten years ago and has not done it since.

Hello ladies!!! Just catching up on two whole days of messages
Glad to hear everyone is a mad with poas as before.
I am (I think ) on fw but according to Ovia that has finished. According to Kindara, FF, my temps and my poas, I have not ovulated yet, so I will go with that. Ovia is so weird. And so wrong.
We just booked holidays for March and for May GrinGrinGrin
This might be the last year we go on our own, so making the most out of it.
He seems to think that when baby comes we won't be able to travel for three years Hmm I then had to make it clear that my mum is in Spain and this baby is clearly travelling to Spain before then.
I am talking about an imaginary baby of course Envy
Come on cycle 3!

Ni4444 · 14/02/2016 08:57

Aw Stark you get a Starky Star 🌟!! Are you sure it's safe to have the frer in the house? I took my tests out of the bathroom, chucked them in a plastic bag, tied them up, and hid them under the bed. That helped!.. Although to be honest since the move I haven't a clue where they are! Just as well! Wink

We went to see Book of Mormon..it was my Xmas present! Funny and entertaining, but not as outrageous as I thought it would be the way people have been going on about it!
Mi that's lovely. Love when OHs get a bit sweet and soppy! 💕 Hope my OH has got me a card!

Evergreen15 · 14/02/2016 08:58

My LPhase is 11 days Confused I wish it was longer, but that is it for me. I think longer is better

Pugmummy87 · 14/02/2016 09:04

DH and I are taking our pugs to a pug walk/meet up today, going to need to find our wellies as suspect it will be rather muddy!
We don't do much for Valentine's as our anniversary is on the 19th and we'd rather do something for that instead.

miwelaisjacydo · 14/02/2016 09:09

ni it's awful have test in the house isn't it. So tempting which is silly because of its negative it's really deflating. Although I know where mine are when it comes to it I will not hopefully test unless Af is late.

Am trying to relax more this month and not put to much Pressure on myself or DH.

SuchaJem · 14/02/2016 09:57

Morning all happy Valentines

harrietm87 · 14/02/2016 10:07

moggy you can get a non-hormonal coil - that's what I had and highly recommend it because it didn't interfere with my cycles at all. Made AF a bit heavier but for me that was small price to pay after years of being all over the place with side effects from different pills.

harrietm87 · 14/02/2016 10:07

PS I have news - OH proposed yesterday!!!!

I was not expecting it AT ALL. Really delighted Grin

Planeteer · 14/02/2016 10:15

Yaaaaaay, congrats Harriet, that's lovely news. GrinThanksStar

Pinklily1 · 14/02/2016 10:21

Congratulations Harriet, lovely news!

ZazzlesTheCat2 · 14/02/2016 10:45

congrats Harriet!

jem that sounds promising!

starky if I were 15dpo it would be torture for me not to test Shock, you're so strong!

I'm about 6-7dpo today. Boobs are still a bit sore which is a bit weird for me.Not much more cramping though, which I guess is bad news since implantation should happen about now.

Does everyone still get a bit of thickish cm on cervix at this point in their cycles? I think this is normal for me.

Kathrino · 14/02/2016 10:48

Congrats harriet!! How did your DP propose?

Feefeefs · 14/02/2016 10:50

Congratulations harriet! Delighted for you.

I had dreams it feels like all night last night, dreams about bfp, dreams about babies and small children and dreams about DTDBlush. Feeling a bit disorientated this morning

Kwick709 · 14/02/2016 10:54

Cheesecake makes me chuck up...

Kwick709 · 14/02/2016 11:00

harriet massive congrats!! How exciting!!!! Star

Happy Valentines everyone!

starky and kat I have just suddenly been overwhelmed with the certainty that your time for bfp is near!

Moggysinger · 14/02/2016 11:07

Awwww amazing news!!! Congrats Harriet !! How did he do it? What's the ring like? How lovely!

ever YES to holidays!! Where are you going? We have been uming and ahhing about booking one in June but I think we just need to go for it. Especially as you say could be last one as a couple. Even if upduffed by then it's fine to fly isn't it? And if not upduffed I'm sure on holiday is an ideal place to conceive! Wink

Mileymoocow · 14/02/2016 11:15

Oh Harriet congratulations! How lovely!!! GrinFlowers

Mileymoocow · 14/02/2016 11:16

moggy we're going away for 2 weeks in June and i'll be 24 weeks. It's fine to fly you just have to be more careful about sun exposure and drinking plenty water.

Ni4444 · 14/02/2016 11:19

Lovely news Harriet!! Congrats!! Must talk to my OH about proposals again....!!!

Pug we're similar...anniversary on the 17th so we'll do something more special that day (when all the V day stuff is reduced! 😉

Aw, OH just gave me a beautiful bunch of pink, white, red roses. The old romantic! 😍

harrietm87 · 14/02/2016 11:34

Thanks everyone!

We were out on a walk and he said he had a present for me, gave me a box and his hand was shaking! Then as I opened it he went down on one knee and asked me. I cried! The ring is perfect - really simple gold band and single diamond. I love it. Legend we went out for a lovely meal (already planned - I thought for Valentine's Day).

It's weird because I thought I wasn't fussed about marriage - my parents are divorced and I don't think you need a wedding to be committed to each other, but now he's proposed I feel like our relationship will be a bit more recognised if you know what I mean. Haven't actually told anyone IRL yet!

harrietm87 · 14/02/2016 11:35

*then we went out - not legend!

I've got loads of tests, just no frers. I've got a collection of Internet cheapies and superdrug ones. But I want a frer, not that I'd use it, just because they're on sale in asda this week, twin pack for £6. Grin no point getting myself worked up though, ill only be gutted next week when af shows.

There seems to be mixed reviews on when to test with a long lp, so I may as well wait till af shows. Thanks kwick how are you feeling now? Flowers

harriet Congratulations! Tell us all the details! Awww miw that's lovely!

jem it would be lovely, but realistically, it's unlikely for me this cycle now. Got all my usual pre-af symptoms, long cycles means she gets a good run up at it!

Moggysinger · 14/02/2016 11:44

That's good to know thanks miley
Where are you off to in June?

I had skin cancer last year so now extra careful about sun exposure Confused Still love a beachy sunny holiday but will be sat there wearing my factor 50!! Grin

Ahh I see Harriet non hormonal coil sounds like the answer! Aldo, dh getting the snip sounds ideal .... But I wonder how he would feel about that, I'm sure it's only fair enough that he does his bit!

Cystitis seems to have gone this morning. Massive relief! Its so evil I always forget how horrible it is until it strikes out of nowhere Angry
