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?

Miley what was wrong with your granddad?? And why do u think grandma is Susp?? What a lovely surprise it will be for them !

I want a mango Bellini now. I'm having Indian takeaway instead (I forgot to get something out of the freezer to defrost).

Comisserations Stark, but at least it's the start of a new cycle for us. I used conceive plus once for the cycle that's just finished. It's ok, I got the applicator one, just squirted it in as high as possible. Didn't notice any more mess than usual, in fact there seemed to less, wondered if it kept it all up there where it was needed? Obviously it didn't work though!

You have my sympathies with the pain, I used to get awful cramps when I was a teenager, I was on the bus once after being sent home from school with the pain and was huffing and puffing like a woman in labour. Walked in through the door and collapsed and fainted in front of my mum.
Thankfully they are not as bad, although I still have months where I am confined to the sofa with a hot water bottle and popping pills writhing around!

Fingers crossed cycle 4 is the one! Kat could you put me down for testing/af due for 18th March? Thank you.

According to thebitch, ISW starts tomorrow leading up to a maximum fertility score (whatevertheduckthatis) of 10 on Saturday. And we're away Saturday night for a fancy meal and hotel thing. Blush getting my blusher on and ready.

I have fed DH pasta the last two nights I have told him I am carb loading him so he has energy for the upcoming events :)

KatOnATinRo0f · 16/02/2016 18:51

Hey feef how is your tooth/jaw now?

Snowdog37 · 16/02/2016 18:55

Hi kat can you put me in for testing on March 10th please 😊 Thanks!

Yvonne1986 · 16/02/2016 19:13

Sorry to mess up your chart Kat! 13dpo decided to test on a FRER this afternoon and got this!!!! So shocked! TTC since Sept and had many times when I thought it wouldn't ever happen but this shows it does! FX for some more BFPs xxx

LisaTheGreek · 16/02/2016 19:21

Yay Yvonne! Congratulations! Such lovely news x

Mileymoocow · 16/02/2016 19:24

Oh congratulations Yvonne!!!!! That's brilliant news GrinFlowers

kat my dgm said it was his ibd playing up. He's been in horrendous pain. 2 morphine injections and 2 iv drips of morphine. She said I looked under the weather and I said I hadn't felt great this morning. She looked at me and just said "did you say you drove to the darts on Thursday? I thought you'd have been drinking". It's the hardest thing ever keeping it from her and our parents.

I've had to order my poor poor OH a takeaway as I can't face cooking tonight. I feel so bloody pathetic at the minute!

SuchaJem · 16/02/2016 19:28

Ooh yvonne was wondering how you were getting on when I saw kats stats!! Fabulosa news, massive congratulations. A beauty of a line!!

Did you have an inkling, any symptoms?

KatOnATinRo0f · 16/02/2016 19:33

Yay!!! I'll do the stats as we now have an increased hot rate!!

KatOnATinRo0f · 16/02/2016 19:35

Wahey!!! This group has become 38.18% pregnant!!!!!

Feefeefs · 16/02/2016 19:36

Congratulations yvonne! Very uplifting!

It's a bit better kat I think the amiltryptiline is doing the job managed to cut pretty much everything else out more oral surgery in 3 weeks and then hopefully no more problem!

Yvonne1986 · 16/02/2016 19:37

Thanks so much Grin no signs or symptoms at all really apart from some lower back pain. I only decided to buy a FRER as I couldn't resist peeing on a OPK yesterday and it came up positive xx

Yvonne1986 · 16/02/2016 19:38

I was planning to see if AF arrived as I had so little symptoms in fact x

Dubbya · 16/02/2016 19:45

Yay Yvonne, congratulations! 💐

SuchaJem · 16/02/2016 19:47

38% is brill 👍🏼

Ahh that must have been such a lovely surprise yvonne 😌 Wishing you a happy healthy 8-9 months xx

leoniethelioness · 16/02/2016 19:47

Just checking in to say hello and greeted with a lovely BFP! I'm really pleased for you - congratulations, Yvonne!

ZazzlesTheCat2 · 16/02/2016 19:47

Congratulations Yvonne!

Head on over to grads when you're ready www.mumsnet.com/Talk/antenatal_clubs/2558300-thread-2-ttc-1-grads-sick-bags-at-the-ready?pg=29&order=

ElleSarcasmo · 16/02/2016 20:21

Congratulations Yvonne! Flowers

Sorry about AF Starky, Snow, Pugmummy and twinky Sad

Glad your grandad's out of hospital Miley, hope he's on the mend soon. They will be so pleased when you can tell them, will it be their first great grandchild

Excellent effort with the dtd Evergreen, we manage it twice in a day once in a blue moon!

Does your DH have a blusher fetish Kat? There seems to be a lot of blusher going on in FW! Maybe I should give it a whirl as mine was a pretty lame effort by anyone's standards!

Jem sounds like you're as bored of the 2ww as me!

I've got the stinkiest, most rotten cold! Can't stop sneezing and having to blow my nose constantly which doesn't really project the professional image I aspire to at work!

StarkyTheDirewolf · 16/02/2016 20:22

I am so pleased! this sounds ridiculous but I get BOTH fw AND a predicted af in the month of March! Next af date is 24th March. Grin

So glad your grandad is out of hospital and home miley it's horrible having a relative poorly. Flowers

Can I get a communal 'awwww' for my poorly puppy?
