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?

That's why I stopped checking my cm jem I didn't have a clue what was him and what was me!

Id like to keep my fx but sort boobs the week before plus being weepy plus a few spots are bang on for af. I get a week of pms shit, then a few days of on/off cramps, then af is later than usual by two days, then I come on with a vengeance! So if I start preparing myself now, ill be ok, and by the time af arrives, ill be ready for cycle 3.

Flowers and Cake for you too planeteer what a week eh!

sorry everyone is weepy!
i'm sticking with confused! i've now convinced myself that my symptoms the last few days could actually have been ovulation and I just missed it because i didn't opk on sat/sun!
the cramps were more on the left side last night and that's when the boob soreness got most intense.

CD14 if ovia can be believed or cd23 if ff is true
Just going to wait for af to arrive then get back on the wagon :)
Im just glad that after 3 weeks of madness i.e. light bleeding spotting nausea dizziness and sore boobs and nipples everything seems to be back to normal xx

Ikwym first whenever I've had ewcm (not recently) I haven't had to "check" Grin

Fuck, I am an emotional mess today! I've cried twice and Dh keeps asking if I'm annoyed at him, poor sod! I'm actually not in any way annoyed at him, I'm annoyed at my boobs, I've just had to explain why to him as he didn't get it at first. I'm really going to have to get a grip on myself today! Blush

Hi ladies, mind if I join in? I've had a catch up on thread 9 and this one so rather than lurking, I thought I'd try to jump on the bus. I've popped my stats in here too - I think I'm either 7 or 8 days dpo, so I'm smack in the middle of the 2ww... joy of joys!

Had some boob / womb twinges and now have a big old honker of a hormone spot on my chin. Seems a little far away from AF to be that so I'm hopeful; but just in case I lose the run of myself I've just bought 50 OPK sticks on Amazon for next month! Have to love the TTC superstition!

first and starky glad that’s not just me then. EWCM used to be so obvious to me! Now I am a bit lost. I really need to get involved with some opks…

Welcome celibaze

lauren forgive me if I’m being daft, but I believe the first day of your cycle is the day you get your period. If you know what that was then you’ll know if you are day 14 or 23. Your conflicting app advice is confusing!

When you wrote, "weepy-itis"

And I was like, "Good gravy...that sounds awful!"
Don't mind me, reading as like a proper 8 year old boy over here...

Ladies and gurus of all things...help!! I had 2 days of positive opks end of last week, then my bathroom decided to break and all the plumbing disaster fun meant no poas over the weekend. Assumed I'd peaked anyway and was happily impatiently doing the 2ww thing. Just did another opk and got this after about 30 secs. So confused! Am cd 75 and got a bfn about 10 days ago. Thoughts v welcome!

Try a FRER maybe planet? I'm not sure but that does strange if you had positive opks last week and this. Any other symptoms?

Thanks feef & stark

I'm a bit better now. Went and power walked through the village today whilst I was picking up a few bits from the pharmacy and butchers (treated myself to a choc brownie from this amazing little tea shop we have, best cakes and sandwiches ever). The brownie probably won't actually help with the weight loss, but it cheered me up a bit anyway.
Looks like I'm going to have to go back to slimming world. Think it will have to be online though as I can't make any of the local groups anymore due to puppy obdience classes.

Seems like a lot of us are weepy today. ChocolateFlowers to all.

Planet I had similar, a positive opk 4 days after a positive before. Not quite sure what was going on there! Maybe try a FRER just to check.

Planeteer · 08/02/2016 16:27

Almost but not quite as dark first. Or at least not as dark as quickly. This came up pretty much immediately.

No real symptoms I don't think such. V weepy the last couple of days, and skin has been honkingly terrible for about 3 weeks. No cm to speak of, and nipples maybe slightly sore (although fairly certain that's just in my head...).

I agree with pug I would do a test just to check

Thanks. Will see if I can get an FRER for the morning. Suspect it'll be negative and just another quirk of this interminable cycle, but worth seeing. Most bizarre.

Also lyssie, lols at your brain going teenage boy on you. And hi, also!
