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?

I cant zazz because then ill know I'm not preggers, and will be disappointed until af arrives, this way I'm only disappointed when af shows up!

kwick evening primrose oil. And intense sex week...or fw how are you today?

starky Schrödinger's cat logic . You don't know until you open that box . I'm far too impatient. Respect.

jem wow that's a long list! Sounds really positive too. This is tmi - but I think I had a teeeeny bit of blood on my cervix earlier. Nothing on tissue though. Feel a bit 😷 thinking about it now.
Are you tracking cervix position?

Thanks Starky.. I should have been able to guess both of those!!! I am okay thanks for asking - it is so nice to be at home and not on a business trip somewhere... although spent the afternoon interrogating questioning employees regarding a fraud case... always intense and energy sapping. I really appreciate your way of doing things - you seem to have worked out way to cause minimal angst...

Oh crap... just watching recording of The Bacherlorette and I think Desiree is going to boot out the wrong man!!!!

I cried my eyes out last night - watched About Time and then Call the Midwife. TMI alert - at one point I got gungy blood coming out of nose... think it is to do with hormone nasal spray

Evening all

I am ttc cycle #1. Test in 6 days. I have felt so weird all weekend.

There has been a bit in conversation about where the cervix is and how it feels. Is this a self examination?

kwick insane sex week!! That made me laugh out loud

zazz it is a long list 😌 I've been a bit mental this time. The closer it creeps to my due date the more I feel like I've been kidding myself and that AF is coming though. Le sigh

Ah yes was going to mention the cervix thing. Perfectly happy to check it out but have no idea what I'm looking for. What kind of cervix indicates unduffedness?

zazz there's a meme, so it can't just be me! fist bump 👊

Stark that was uber quick meme finding! Well done! (Not sure if you get a starky though trying to catch a pregnancy on an OPK!!!

Rebecca yup... Get your finger up there, give it a prod!

If upduffed does it stay high rather than come back low like when AF is due? Is that right? I looked into it a while ago (online... Not in real life that would be crazy contortionism)

Errrrk so I told oviabitch I had EWCM and she just brought my ISW forward by 4 days!! Which means it ends today!! I am now feeling a bit mental, as have only been dtd EOD ... Maybe its not enough?! So have demanded we shag tonight as well. Have to feel like we have given it best shot. Come on eggo lets get preggo!

Go moggy go!!!

Well, my box has been filled, so I hope there's a live cat in there. Insert joke about pussy, radioactive fluid and something else which I can't think of yet.

kat Im not getting a star, I can kid myself and pretend but I was trying to cheat by opk-ing rather than poas-ing!

moggy don't tell her anything! I just put my moods in and period! She messes with your head! Just keep dtd as you have been, do opk's to track your surge. Good luck!

moggy eod should be okay but j guess it can't hurt to bang another out tonight /sexy

My cervix is not that high. There goes my list 😔

Thanks for all the hugs and 💐 💗 Af is in the house and so I'm on cycle 4...
On the plus side I ovulate in 10-12 days, I can drink the huge bottle of Pinot Grigio in the fridge, we have a lawyer submitting all the paperwork for the states later this week (eek it's all happening so fast now but dh can transfer easily as he's a us citizen it's just my papers that are a pita!) so really it's all good! Moving to northern Massachusetts it looks like so if anyone knows anyone there I'd love a contact so I can start figuring out what where how etc. I'm so excited. After several longish holidays there it'll be amazing to live there!!!!

I use ovia only for purely functional reasons. Periods and sex. And OPK positive/negative IF I FEEL LIKE IT and not because she tells me to. None of the mood business. She can fuck off wanting to know that much about me.

Snow that's so exciting! What's the timeframe for moving over there?

Snow that's so exciting! What's the timeframe for moving over there?

starky I love it 😂

Rebecca yes self examination, loads of pics etc via Google if you can stomach it 😷

jem no bloody idea what position means what. From what I've read it's s pretty crappy indicator of pregnancy as cerci positions can change through the day/through cycle. Once up duffed, some peoples cervix stay low for a while but others will raise. Final up duffed position I think is high until baby squishes it back down later in pregnancy.

All that yet I still touch myself up 5 times a day 😆

Also according to THE LIST we are now 36.36% pregnant! Yay
(I am not considering the fact that some of the newbies aren't on the list yet, but I just want us to all enjoy this higher hit-rate for a bit. Come on we need more BFPs ladies!!)

Typos again ffs

Yay kat stats are back! 36% is awesome!

snow sorry af is in full swing but yay about the move. Are all your family in the uk? Must be scary moving so far away!

36% that's brilliant! I feel like I've been here forever! I remember our first bfp! 😢 yep, ovia can fuck off with getting actual information kat I give her the minimum, she's been screaming at me to poas for a week!

Hurrah for 36%!!

snow how exciting, you'll have so many fab new places to explore from there.

Haha! Everyone's screaming at you to poas!
I've been here for so long. I think I might just sack off kids, and DH, crochet more and get a load of cats.
CD8 and not even hardly a hint of a second line on my OPK... COME ON EGG!!!
I have these fertility gel things... There's only 6 in the box (well 5 because of a failed attempt last month) ... When do I start using them??? And there is an awful lot in each one... Would it be really gross to use half one day and use the rest the next day? If that's okay then DH is in for a wet'n'wild 2 weeks!

That's what I'd be doing kat seems like a sensible thing to use half. Maybe start squirting it up there from the beginning of fw? I'm literally crocheting with a dog the size of a catest on my lap. I told Dh his sperm are rubbish earlier, but that it's ok, because clearly my eggs are also rubbish! I'll test Sunday if af isn't here by then, just to placate everybody
