Symptom spotters, tww - ers, slightly hysterical hormone laden ladies! Regs, lurkers, intermittent posters! Our raison d'etre is 'am I pregnant?'

Thread 11. Welcome one and all!
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.

Post your stats and add your dates. We have a register thanks to kats stats I have been dubbed the resident piss stick queen and if you don't test, you get a Starky's Star 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

And the weepy-tits have arrived! 99% sure I'm out this month!

Evergreen15 · 20/02/2016 06:49

Grrrr Lots of spots on my face and they are itchy. Envy Last month I got spots the week before AF Envy
Lyssie weepy tits? Confused

Evergreen15 · 20/02/2016 06:50

5 dpo and staying strong at not symptom spotting. Just the spots of my face because they are hard to ignore

Mileymoocow · 20/02/2016 07:10

evergreen did you miss the weepy-itis/weepy-tits post a couple of threads back?

How my life has changed. Never thought I'd see the day I was up at 5 am on a Saturday morning spewing without drinking the night before!

Evergreen15 · 20/02/2016 07:14

Miley I remember someone tit's doing that but I thought this person was up the duff! Grin

Evergreen15 · 20/02/2016 07:14

Tits not tit's

ElleSarcasmo · 20/02/2016 07:42

Think I'm out this month Sad spotting this morning (CD 25). Ho hum.

firstgo1984 · 20/02/2016 07:53

Just checking in.
Possibly 13dpo today but as i stopped doing opks just before i am not sure!
But looking back at ovia i had ewcm for a few days, sore boobs wuth sensitive nipples and then some pain on the sunday evening. The next morning my boobs started to feel much better and over a few days my cm turned sticky and white.
These crazy long post-pill cycles are a pain!
No symptoms at all to speak of.

Planeteer · 20/02/2016 07:56

Haha Ever it was me, but my tits were and still are weep-free. I was feeling emosh and said I had 'weepy-itis' and everyone misread and thought my boobs were exploding. Blush
Lyssie glad you found us over here! Fx AF stays away so you can poas with gay abandon come Tues.

Miley you poor love, you're really going through the mill. Have you found anything that'll stay down? How was the broth?

Jem how are you doing today lovely? Have been thinking of you.

Zazz, loving your work yday. Dare I ask how the head is? BrewBrew

I'm 5+5 today (I think!) and the queasiness is creeping up. Am staying with my best friend this weekend and going to tell her today. Excited!

Happy Saturday all. #weepytits

SpaceDinosaur · 20/02/2016 08:04

TMI ALERT

Due AF on Tuesday.
Today I've got a pinkish discharge. Not a period, pinky.

Is this AF getting ready to come early or is this a thing?

(I'm sporting lots of random "symptoms" so I'm paranoid!)

firstgo1984 · 20/02/2016 08:15

space i got that last cycle. Same sort of timing.

SuchaJem · 20/02/2016 08:16

Oh no I think I might be out! Woke up feeling pre AF type tummy pain, cracked and tested - got very clear bfn on frer with fmu. No mistaking that! I'm 15dpo today so i think it would be showing if I'd hatched. Oh dear!

celizabe · 20/02/2016 08:17

Dino I had something similar this month, spotting on Monday then AF arrived on Friday, 3 days late. Although (having Googled like a mofo!!) it is a PG symptom too so keep an eye on it and hopefully happy POAS times are ahead for you.

I've decided to try the SMEP plan this month, once AF has left the building. Have any of you heard of it / tried it? I came across it on another thread and it looks like it's worth a bash....

SpaceDinosaur · 20/02/2016 08:24

Crap.
Ok.

Better to have expectations lowered than be big time disappointed next week

Confusedcat1 · 20/02/2016 09:00

We kind of did SMEP this month. Every other day and then two days in a row after ovulation. But we didn't do it all month long. No way we could keep that up Haha

Sorry to hear that jem

LaraG13 · 20/02/2016 09:09

Hi all. So sorry to hear about the AFs turning up. It sucks.

choc I can't stop thinking about your poor poor friend. And jem I'm so sorry for your loss.

Wanted to share an interesting POAS fact that I've noticed. For me, FMU is not the best. I got my BFP a few days ago as I said. Tests with FMU have been consistently lighter than those later in the day. Even a few hours later gives a much stronger line for me. I don't understand why and it makes no sense, but it's true for me. Thought I'd share in case others are the same!

firstgo1984 · 20/02/2016 09:12

Ok.....
Opk was positive this am and i know that can be due to hcg.
So...... i did a hpt...... BFP!!!!!!

ZazzlesTheCat2 · 20/02/2016 09:21

Morning ladies, is it safe to come out? yep I'm in a lot of pain this morning, head, back, abdominal - hurts sooo much! af has officially arrived to give me an odd 26 day cycle but I'm glad as I get to try again soon.
Also no alcohol for me tonight 😷

kat how are you doing? Which part of the cycle are you now?

space i get pink spotting just before af, but you're not out til you're out!

cel I might try smep this cycle too, to cover myself pre and post ovulation but I'm going to temp again this month so you know exactly when you've ovulated.
confused tell me about it, it's hard work! pun intended

jem so sorry about your bfn, theres still a chance though until af arrives in a few days. You still getting symptoms? Mine vanished about 2-3days before af

plane happy 5+5 little bean :)

elle and lyssie pooo Flowers

There's quite a few of you ladies in your LP, hope we get a few BFPs in the next week. We're def due a couple more.

Sorry if I've missed anyone, still catching up....

ZazzlesTheCat2 · 20/02/2016 09:22

Ooooh I spoke too soon, congrats first that's def a juicy big bfp!! Flowers

SuchaJem · 20/02/2016 09:27

Congratulations first!

zazz you sound very chipper today, how's the head? :) To be honest I feel more like AF is coming now. I'll give it a couple of days see if she shows and test again if not. I'm not 100% sure when I ovulated so could be earlier than 15dpo xx

SuchaJem · 20/02/2016 09:28

Thank you planet I'd forgotten when I first woke up and got that horrible sinking feeling when I remembered. It feels like it could have been a bad dream still. Thanks for thinking of me xx

celizabe · 20/02/2016 09:36

Dino you're still in, don't give up hoping yet, I got super excited when it was happening to me as defo a PG symptom too. It's another one of those horrible maybe / maybe not symptoms.... Like ALL the rest of them!!

Congrats first!!

celizabe · 20/02/2016 09:38

zazz I know, SMEP sounds like a hell of long ISW right now. That might be th vat of wine from last night talking though Blush

SuchaJem · 20/02/2016 09:41

space your cycle matches mine - keeping fx for you.

Pinklily1 · 20/02/2016 09:49

Congratulations first, that's brilliant!
