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?

Hahaha starky my DH has no idea when women are flirting with him either. Absolutely clueless. There is something really repulsive about flapping labia!

Very relieved you had back spots miley! I have a big one at present. Seeing starkers say it means AF is on her way made my heart sink!

Sorry about AF twinky better luck next cycle

Hello fx lovely to see you, I’m down with ISW for sure!

choc have a brilliant time and look after yourself! I love WhatsApp, it's particularly good for sending memes!

jem the young lady is large of breast and pout, and was quite forthcoming apparently, but unfortunately for her, my Dh will not be swayed, not when he's got me farting, burping and doing comedy lunges about the house! Why eat a steak when you've got a kebab at home and all that!

starky I love WhatsApp... literally my favourite app on my phone haha. Feel free to ping me your number and I shall send you the immature memes I receive from my band of merry idiots (much loved friends) 😂😂

What a cheeky moose! Some girls have no standards at all, had more balls than a hungry hippo. It makes you wonder if there's any tread left on the tyres or if it's like throwing a hotdog down a hallway... !!!!

Just catching up!

meadow cant you see a doc in France? I hear their health service is pretty good.
I am a single lady - unlucky in love but know I have a lot to give and would really like a child.

Hello all! Catching up on thread but doing it backwards so it doesn't make any sense!
I'm CD8.... ISW is approaching! Hurrah! DH and I are on it this month... He's already checked when we have to start and is gearing himself up for a busy time. We had a practice few goes over the weekend (CD5 and 6 so bit of a waste...) but feel may just wait for DH every day in bed. (I'm actually feeling tired at the thought of it... Ask me in a week!)
Cycle 6 was chilled. That didn't fucking work. So cycle 7 I will be the OPK queen. I think I'm going to run out actually I only bought 50.
And yes... ISW is way better than FW.
And stark- am loving the hunger games quotes (I think we hd one of these about 5 threads back?)

Memes on whatsapp?? Whaaattt???? I feel like I didn't know the secret!

We did kat I think it was "may the pink lines be ever in your favour" when we were talking about how the vagina is much like the arena of the hunger games and the sperms are like tributes! Well, I wish one of dh's sperm would volunteer as tribute! There seems to be a distinct lack of winning sperm in my egg this cycle!

You don't know that!!! How many more days? Testing on Saturday??

Hi all hope everyone is in good spirits? Am feeling a bit down today am fed up to be honest although dtd is usually fun I find when ovulating that it becomes a chore because of the pressure and that there is a lot riding on it.
no pun intended
Am just fed up which is silly as am only on cycle two.

Feel free to pm me Kat if you want any more. I have a load from Amazon unopened that I'd be happy to post on.

No, I haven't tested yet, I'm on 16 dpo. I was considering poas-ing at 20 dpo (friday) but now I've got cramps I might not bother. I did an opk last night though because I need to pee on SOMETHING but it was a definite negative, not even a smidgen of a second line, and I always get a second line, so if I was producing pregnancy hormone it would pick up on that. You know what I'm like!

Well I am now anything from 14-17dpo. Really thought af was starting this morning, mild cramps within a few minutes of waking started and a much more red discharge. Again, it's come to nothing. Just want the cow to make an appearance now, I have raging pmt, so I know she's on her way.

Stark I pmsl at the image of a sperm sat at the cervix shouting 'I volunteer as tribute!' 😂

Ah pug could be good news. When is af due?

Slowly catching up with all the new posts from this morning!....

starky - that's cheating!! you can't pee on an opk and still get a starky star 😜

mi sorry you're fed up. First cycle is the hardest noun intended either

kat loving the determination!! My fingers are crossed for you this cycle :)

choc and stark I literally live on whatsapp and fb, mumsnet, ff

Poo, apols for the typos!

I just cracked an egg whilst cooking my evening meal and instantly thought EWCM. This is taking over my brain.

Sorry you're feeling low mi, hope you get more in the mood for isw

Big fan of whatsapp too, apart from I'm on a group with my teammates at work and one of them has a tendency to talk shop on the weekends. Not cool 🙄

jem its going to be fun swapping symptoms this week, fuck it, I'm going all out obsessive

Having cramps today. Cervix still low and soft. Boobs are killing!! (Maybe DH just copped a handful whilst I was sleeping!)

zazz I agree, I'm clutching at straws! 16 dpo, cd 33, it's killing me now. And still at least another 6 days to go, maybe another 10 days going off longest cycle. 😢

Starky thank you so much for Great Sperm Race link. Gulp! I am actually quite relieved after seeing that that I am having IVF!!! The poor sperm... blimey what a palaver!!! So pleased my magic potion will have a helping hand!!!!

I am loving the proposal stories... I am such a romantic!!!

Catching up again..you lot like your chat!!

Island thanks for sharing your story...Your DH sounds lovely...and I love the sound of your wedding! I think that's half the problem...OH has never had friends take that approach-all of his did the big white thing. He thinks it's only that or Vegas -doesn't realise there's a whole range of options in between. Guess I need to find a way to educate him!

Ps...I've just started taking EPO too...2000mg a day (they say you can take up to 3000 I believe). Can anyone say when (if?!) they noticed CM change after starting EPO?

starky just start peeing on proper pissy sticks and put yourself out of your misery woman

zazzles any excuse to indulge in symptom turmoil

With you on the sore boobs, and I've had tummy cramps for 4-5 days. Don't usually get these so hopes are massively up. 6dpo got a tiny spot of pink blood on tissue - cue massively obsessive tissue inspection.

Otherwise been moody (extreme) and very emotional, ridiculously horny, vivid dreams. Also gassy and constipated.

What am I missing? Oh yeah - a sodding bfp. Come on eggo...

FXSkip I am not exactly a lenter - instead of taking something away I am trying to do a sun salutation every morning - so far so good :)

zazzles I'm always on fb too as part of our business relies on good social media interaction (I've become quite the whiz!) But I looooooooove WhatsApp. That's why I said about anyone DM me their number if they're not fussed as I never go awol on WhatsApp hahaha xx

sorry have a memory like a sieve - what is EPO again? and ISW? insane sex week?
