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?

[Yvonne1986]

Kat can you add me to the list please I'll be testing on the 19th if AF doesn't arrive first xxx

[Pugmummy87]

Hmm, the positivity I had a few days ago is waning. Feeling cranky and emotional today, pissed off as running out of clothes that fit well and bras which are getting to tight and digging into my skin. Annoyed that Ive put on 1 1/2 stones over the past year after working so bloody hard to get it off. I should have been at my target weight last year and instead I've pissed about and I'm even further away from it now.
Fucking pcos makes it so damn hard, comes off so slowly, put goes on the minute I see a cake!

Please ignore me, it's trivial really.

[Feefeefs]

It's frustrating though pugmummy I know the feeling. Be kind to yourself and focus on the things you do like for now and make a plan to get back to what was working

[Snowdog37]

Ah-ha! There's where you all are!

Snow, 37 (going on 73)
Ttc #1
Cycle 3, day 18, 6dpo

Temps are in a little dip, I've got a lovely snotty cold starting up, I know it's not pregnancy related wishful thinking as my dh has it too. Gotta love marital colds. Clearly he's got man flu and I'm able to carry on as normal. 😝😂

[firstgo1984]

ok so i caved in and POAS as I hadn't for days!

opk pretty dark (almost positive)
BFN on an asda 15miu test

Think I am out. Just not got to hope AF arrives and that the opk is just a random result. I was kind of hoping this cycle would end soon one way or another (CD46 today)

[Mileymoocow]

first your opk was positive?! I'd go and get an frer of you're due to test

[Mileymoocow]

I will add that my opks go posotive and I'm upduffed

[Mileymoocow]

Positive. Wtf is wrong with my spelling today.

[firstgo1984]

miley BFN on 15miu test.... and my opk is almost positive, not quite though (see attached)

[Mileymoocow]

Yeah I'd definitely run out to get an frer if you can cause that's how a couple of our grads realised they were pregnant. When are you due to test?

[Mileymoocow]

That's mine from after I had a bfp

[firstgo1984]

I am possibly 12dpo today (but didn't get a positive opk this cycle).
almost positive opk (similar to today) 26th Jan and ewcm 27th Jan.

My opk is not quite positive though so I will not read anything into it or my asda test would have been +ve I think.

My cycles are really messed up from the pill.
32, 38, 48, 77 day cycles so far since stopping in May. TTC since August.

[Mileymoocow]

Oh, is it possible you're almost ovulating now?

[firstgo1984]

Anything is possible with my cycles miley might do a couple more opks next couple of days

[FXSkip]

Hi ladies, just checking in - hugs to ipatches too.

Skip
Age 27
TTC #1
Cycle 2, cd 29 (last cycle - Post-pil- was 39 days) Ovibitch telling me to poas every day now.

Symptoms - nagging/pulling pains in low belly, skin sensitivity, swollen nips now back to normal, but now have a cheese aversion (unheard of for me, I am usually a cheese fiend) Fatigue (because I get up at 5am?) and really sore muscles despite doing less than normal exercise this weekend.

These could easily be AF symptoms, and if AF comes this week I'll be delighted. If I have another 35+ day cycle I'll be less than chuffed. Feeling strong urge to poas, so wee'd on an OPK today. Faint line, which has not helped anything. Major temp dip this morning, well below cover-line, so poss indicator of imminent AF.

Hope everyone is well today

[firstgo1984]

miley it is also possible that I ovulated last night when I had my cramps I guess and i am catching the LH surge on it's way down? Maybe my sensitive nipples and slightly sore breasts were ovulation symptoms? Looking back at my app, they started on friday and i have put in that I had ewcm.

hmmmm could i be starting a 2ww all over again?? at least we DTD on sunday morning!

I had a break from opks this weekend, but it was negative on Friday.
So confusing!

Will see if AF arrives this week. I will also ask GP for a fertility referral when I have my telephone consultation on Thursday afternoon due to my madly long cycles and catch the start of the next one to do some bloods!

[firstgo1984]

or alternatively I haven't ovulated and all my breast symptoms are down to some crazy hormone imbalance!
Think I need some bloods!

[StarkyTheDirewolf]

kat so sorry mate, I know what you mean, my boobs are really sore today and I just feel like I'm on the run up to af, waking up to sore boobs was just so disappointing, like beyond disappointing.

[Holly300]

Elle I like the baby making bible. It's a bit intense and I don't think I could follow it word for word, but there's lots of great advice in there.

[Mileymoocow]

starky Don't let sore breasticles put you down. I still have tender ones now

Xx

[StarkyTheDirewolf]

I've got the weeps again miley I'm totes emosh bro! Mine always get sore this time of the cycle, gotta start mentally preparing myself now! I'm trying really hard to not be so soft!

feef I think going getting some bloods done would be a really good idea. Then at least you know where you're up to.

[StarkyTheDirewolf]

pug I'm the same, I was on top of the world a couple of days ago, now I'm just sad and tearful!

I'm going to insist on having fried chicken cesar salad for tea. That will cheer me up!

[SuchaJem]

Really hope its not AF starky, sore boobs and emotional are also bang on for pg symptoms.

Day 15 today and we are on track with DTD schedule.

Does anyone else find sperm makes for tricky cm inspection? Post DTD I can't work out what's going on with it #cmwoes

[firstgo1984]

suchajem yes! i have to wait almost 24hours before I can work out what is going on down there!

[Planeteer]

Sorry you're feeling a bit raw today Starky and Kat. I've got weepy-itis too today, not sure why even! Keep having serious chin wobbles at my desk. Urgh. and (biscuits of happiness) to you.
