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

irregular I have been before - it is an incredible place isn't it? It's one of my fave places in the world. I'm very lucky and get to go with my DH for his job every now and then.

ipatches ooh that's strange, are you DTD to try and catch one? Wasn't sure where you were with trying.

iPatches · 22/02/2016 20:54

Jem - we have definitely been trying to catch one! I just don't really know what's happening. Last cycle, when we did conceive, I had one and only one positive OPK. Now I have 5 on 3 consecutive days...!

Lyssie · 22/02/2016 20:55

Patches and you're 100% certain you're not pregnant?

iPatches · 22/02/2016 20:58

Lyssie I had an early mc after bfp last month, started bleeding heavily which lasted a number of days. Also had negative OPKs earlier this cycle.

SuchaJem · 22/02/2016 21:00

How bizarre. Fingers crossed for you patch hope one catches.

iPatches · 22/02/2016 21:06

Jem me too Sad

Kwick709 · 22/02/2016 21:08

FX I am so sorry for your awful news Flowers You are NOT being selfish!

Lyssie · 22/02/2016 21:22

Patches so sorry darling! Praying for a sticky baby for you.

Feefeefs · 22/02/2016 21:29

I've done some googling ipatches seems that you can ovulate twice In one cycle a couple of days apart

Mileymoocow · 22/02/2016 21:31

Dtd tonight for he first time in ages and strongly believe OH was that desperate his love length has frantically thrusted an insane amount of fart into me. Oh. My. God!!! Trapped wind anyone?!?!?! It's so painful! I've managed to get some of it out and OH just nearly gagged! I've never had it before, it's horrendous

Kwick709 · 22/02/2016 21:31

I DTD with the 3 injections earlier... I am getting more proficient but my tummy is getting awfully sore... much like a pin cushion. I hope I am okay to out arnica on it.

One of them is growth hormone... I do hope it does not make my nose grow bigger Confused

I listened to the IVF hypnosis CD I bought - it was very relaxing which is what I need right now. The "Right Time Baby" book arrived also. Did you know that the number of women seeking abortions in the UK is the same number for under 16s as for age 40-44?

Kwick709 · 22/02/2016 21:32

LOL Miley not at all sure what you have been up to "OH was that desperate his love length has frantically thrusted an insane amount of fart into me."

Mileymoocow · 22/02/2016 21:33

Oh no, I should have read before commenting. Sorry patches Sad I hope it is a double ov for you! unless you'd rather not have twins of course the tww is going to be especially difficult bless you

Mileymoocow · 22/02/2016 21:34

No kwick no bottom loving.

He's lucky he got nearly my lulu belle never mind my choco starfish!

Kwick709 · 22/02/2016 21:38

LOL Miley you do have a way with words!!! Grin

ElleSarcasmo · 22/02/2016 21:43

Sorry about your weekend FX, that sounds truly shit! I'd be a wreck by now.

Hep I think my DH did that test online too. I'm not a massive lover of group situations either. Mostly though you can still meet people one to one in those type of settings (I'm thinking baby groups etc) which feels less intimidating. Anyway as you say, worry about that later!

ElleSarcasmo · 22/02/2016 21:47

Ooh Feefs I love Brazil nuts so that is excellent news! Do the chocolate ones still have selenium in! No chance of DH eating them though, he is a nut refuser! Is selenium in anything else where it is absorbed easily?

ElleSarcasmo · 22/02/2016 21:50

Lol Miley!!

Moggysinger · 22/02/2016 22:11

Hahaha miley are you talking about fanny farts?!

iPatches · 22/02/2016 22:28

feefs miley - let's not get carried awayWink one ovulation and one bfp would be amazing! Relieved that I am ovulating at all after what happened.

StarkyTheDirewolf · 23/02/2016 00:35

patches not much help from me I'm afraid, either you're having a double egger or your lh level has risen dramatically. Confused

Dh ended up working again so I'm merrily crocheting away on my Todd with a farting Nacho sat on my lap. Cd 8, I'm still feeling very calm and unbothered by this cycle so far, it feels quite nice

Good morning everyone!
I finally managed to catch up on all messages!
I haven't seen The List for a bit, kat what do we pay you for? GrinGrinGrinGrinGrin
Who is on 2ww and about to test? I am 8dpo today and usually AF shows after 11 dpo (damn short luteal phase) I feel as little pregnant as a potato Sad
bah!
Fart talk, I am gassy as hell. But checking last month data I was the same before AF Envy

KatOnATinRo0f · 23/02/2016 08:03

Hello!!!!!! I have read from my mess gave until now but not caught up before as ended up going out for dinner (on a Monday? How decadent!)
Lol at love length (I feel this is an in-joke from something I missed) and nut refuser. DH is a nut fiend (he will consume an entire £4 bag of pistachios in one sitting and then ask where all the nuts are the next day. I refuse to buy more than one-bag-per-weekly-shop as otherwise DH would be fat and our shopping would cost a bomb)

Kwick it sounds like you are a bit of a pin cushion Thanks

The list is hopelessly out of date as I have missed arrivals of AF and also newbies... But we can get it back up together today (if I just boot everyone up to yesterday's date off the bus until shown bus pass) and can get it up together with a bit of help!

I am probably out for the month :( CD16, had a positive(just) OPK fri lunchtime, assumed peak would be sat or sun but it's faded away. Only dtd fri and sun (and sun Prob too late) so very slim chance that the queen has been successfully introduced to her suitor. :( cycle 8 anyone? (Have decided to delete Ovia and bin OPKs next month and just not bother with actual effort or thought as it's too stressful to keep going like this)

Moggysinger · 23/02/2016 08:04

Hey ever

I'm pretty sure I'm 8 DPO as well but not testing until AF is overdue ... Still got 9 days to go! Confused

Lots of bfp-ers didn't have any symptoms so stay positive!

I was super bloated last night, nauseous, and burping for about 5 hrs straight, really bad tummy cramps and back pain (which I've never had before) but I think it was probably just my digestive system protesting at all the dairy I had yesterday, think I am a bit lactose intolerant. Must have been that cos feeling better this morning. But it did get my hopes up a bit, through all the pain!

The 2ww is soooo slow.

Feefeefs · 23/02/2016 08:05

Chocolate ones would be fine elle. Shellfish has a reasonable amount too. Oysters have the most but tuna (fresh rather than tinned) has a good amount too
