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?

[Planeteer]

Haha thank you. I am not getting hopes up too much. Drs today referred me for bloods and scans to see what's going on, so even if bfn tomorrow (which I reckon it will be) then at least things are moving and I'll maybe find out a bit more!

[StarkyTheDirewolf]

That's a definite positive planeteer I'd do a frer in the morning! And just to be on the safe side, dtd tonight if you can!

[Planeteer]

Bathroom horrors mean currently camping on a friend's (slightly broken) air bed! Suspect dtd might be ambitious but will see what I can do

Hi holly - test day seems a long way off yet doesn't it!
I've never pinpointed ovulation yet, just relied on ovia before so looking forward to getting tracking this month.

[StarkyTheDirewolf]

Would it be wrong of me to have the peach belinnis tonight? I've been holding off just in case, but now, what with sore boobs, I'm thinking I might just pop it open! Dh is off tonight and were just goung to watch films and chill out once hes back from the gym. Feeling a bit dejected today, although I appear to have got over the chin wobbles a bit!

I'm also thinking I'll give up alcohol completely for lent. I love a challenge! Anyone else giving anything up?

Oh no! planeteer is it that bad? You poor thing! Just seen ni has completed the house move with limited bother and is catching up on the last thread but YAY for that being over ni ! Hope you're new home is lovely and you're enjoying settling in!

[SuchaJem]

Hope you're okay Kat?

starky depends on how sure you are about AF turning up. My feeling is until I get a bfp I'm not really changing my drinking habits - which is wine at the weekend basically.

I was thinking about giving it up for Lent too! However there's a part of me that thinks I kind of want to enjoy nice wine whilst I can...

[firstgo1984]

starky i would go for it...

[Planeteer]

I think no harm in bellini-ing (as long as you don't have 12, ha!) I had 2 glasses of prosecco at a wedding at the weekend and am not feeling too guilty. Up for joining you in giving it up totally for Lent though. Is that from weds onwards?

Bathroom is unfortunately totally buggered. Toilet and shower completely out of action. Plumbers in on weds to try and sort, but might be couch surfing for most of the week. Joy!

[LisaTheGreek]

Oh no, Kat, I'm sorry

[Feefeefs]

Bellini up starky particularly if your giving it up for lent!

Sorry you're feeling blue Kat. Hot bath and glass of red!?

[StarkyTheDirewolf]

That's sort of been my thought process jem I didn't have any wine with tea yesterday, and I usually treat myself to one at Sunday tea. I've honestly got no idea if af will/won't show up. But I'm 9 dpo, and my boobs are ginormous! I'm usually a solid D, but they feel (and look) mahooosive! Given that they're sore I reckon af will show!

I reckon if I'm giving it up for lent then I can indulge in a couple of glasses tonight! Lent starts on Wednesday and ill be completely t-total then, so might aswell get it out of the fridge! Cheers planeteer and feef 🍸

[SuchaJem]

Well if you didn't have one yesterday then tonight can be your Sunday wine starky. Enjoy

[stardusty5]

starky you should deffo go for the bellinis- nothing's real until its a bfp!

[stardusty5]

planeteer you have my sympathy while your house is upside down. I'm only painting one room and i'm all over the place too!

Hope your cycles settle down soon first, hopefully this is ovulation and you'll catch it!

[Ni4444]

Ha! I wondered why there weren't too many pages to catch up on after the weekend...there was a whole new thread instead!! Congrats Co5mo, and I'm so sorry to hear about your loss patches ♥

[Feefeefs]

Whoops just told DH "intense sex week/probably 10 days" starts today! Said it after DTD but now he's worried about how he'll preform tomorrow damnit! Feeling more positive about this month tho!

[KatOnATinRo0f]

Wow so were all feeling a bit sad today! i definitely also read weepy-tits.
I'm feeling weepytits today.
in fact that makes me feel better already.
ha
so had a really crap day at work today. also saw ANOTHER baby bomb on Facebook (it wasn't directed at me, like "hey Kat, guess what, I'm preggo, yay!!" more like "mr and mrs babybomb would like to inform everyone we'll be welcoming our delightful little baby later on this year yay!" which is lovely but :(. (also anyone else get freaked out by the idea of putting pics/info/news/scans up on FB? i just dont think ill do that?) anyway. maybe ill be so happy I'm pg finally that i will.
the witch arrived at about 8.30 this morning. so hopefully she'll hurry up and fuck off soon.

[Kathrino]

Just catching up after a long day at work. Starky, enjoy those peach bellinis. We're giving up processed meat for Lent - we've got a friend's wedding on Saturday and not sure how my hangover is going to cope on Sunday without a bacon sarnie.

Planet, sorry about your bathroom woes. What a total PITA. Hopefully they can sort it on Weds but FX you're too excited to care after tomorrow!

Kat, has AF now turned up? I prescribe lots of and . Hope you're doing okay.

Congrats on the house move Ni!

Welcome celizabe and anyone else I've missed!

[StarkyTheDirewolf]

kat it's a good job the new thread started already otherwise I'd have called it "thread 10, misery loves company" and honestly, I haven't really got anyone to tell! I'm not on fb or anything, I'd text my three closest friends as they all live hours and hours away, but other than that, the only people I've got to tell are you guys!

Ooh that's a good idea kath processed meat is something that would never have occurred to me! Are you having a massive fry up tomorrow to say farewell?

[Kathrino]

Tomorrow is reserved for eating as many pancakes as humanly possible but we are having sausages and mash tonight to say goodbye to unhealthy meat-based products until Easter!

[SuchaJem]

Sorry about AF kat get thee some chocolate and roll on next cycle for you.

So I pissed on my first stick this evening! It was tricky. I used a cap from an old night nurse bottle, as me and DH felt weird about me weeing in a drinking cup. Got wee all over my hand :(

Got two clear lines, one fainter than the other. Did not take a picture! The leaflet said its negative if it's fainter. Will probably still DTD as am day 15 and quite getting into all this shagging lark.

[SuchaJem]

I should have clarified OPK there and not PG test...

[Kwick709]

Holly I thought raspberry leaf tea induced miscarriage? Is there anything specific you are taking to improve egg quality? If so please share

[LisaTheGreek]

Sorry Kat, that's such a pain in the arse (literally, I guess).

I've seen two baby announcements on FB today. Both used the Chinese New Year of the Monkey to say something like 'we're having our own little monkey in 2016', etc.

I see people talking about pancakes! When is Pancake Day?? Not today, is it? I am never prepared for it!
