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

Ni GrinGrinGrinGrinlol at drying up. Also I feel the same. How short is your luteal phase? Mine is 11 days

Kwick709 · 25/02/2016 21:40

Ladies panic over - I started injecting after I had opened up conference line and completed whilst others were still dialling in. INFURIATING call though!

I am on my second warm glass of milk... I went on youtube yesterday and saw a bunch of videos on ivf - I need to drink more!!!! Hydration is very important apparently.

Ni4444 · 25/02/2016 21:42

Don't really think so Elle...but then I only took it half the time as amazon didn't deliver til about CD7. Plus I boozed the night before o-1 so reckon all my body fluid was dehydrated! Trying to drink lots of hot water with lemon, mint, etc to stay hydrated these days. Plus acupuncture woman said keeping the stomach (and therefore the womb) warm helps...so soups, teas, hot water bottles! I've heard that from a friend doing ivf too...apparently it makes the whole area more hospitable! hostess with the mostess

Last month was only 10 days Ever but I had shorter 28day cycle. Before its been 32,33,31-but wasn't temping or opking so not sure when I ovulated. Have you heard anything that helps with short lutes?

LaraG13 · 25/02/2016 21:46

Hi ladies! Just catching up. So sorry some of you have been a bit down. 💐

ni, just to reassure you, I'm 33 and I get barely any CM and no visible EWCM but still got BFP so it's clearly not essential to have loads.

Ni4444 · 25/02/2016 21:51

Lara that is VERY reassuring cos I'm 33 too! How's your little bean doing?

Moggysinger · 25/02/2016 22:01

kwick warm milk urghh! Hope all the hydration works though!

So after being crazy irrate woman for the past 2 days my bad mood has cleared ... I saw a real life murmuration for the first time on my drive home which was amazing, then made the effort to do an hours yoga on my mat this evening which was very much needed for old creaky bones here, and was lovely, very self indulgent Smile

Had a dream last night that I got baby boy clothes for my birthday and that my mum and sister were trying to convince me to do a FRER Hmm I think that's the first proper baby related dream I've had since we've been ttc, it was proper freaky.

so I'm 10 DPO today and I've got a popping and slight pulling sensation on the inside of my left hip tonight which feels really weird. Is that a pregnancy implantation symptom? Or is it just my head making up phantom symptoms because my mind is slightly twisted?

starky I tried to find hugo without the use of the LL, but only once, I couldn't find him the sneaky bugger.

stardusty5 · 25/02/2016 22:08

moggy i had a really vivid dream about getting a bfp when i was waiting for AF last cycle. Clearly, i took this to be my body telling me something Hmm. Was nice but a bit gutting when you realise it was all a dream and actually you are deffo not upduffed.

I'm 3dpo now. Feel utterly normal, no amount of boob prodding is telling me anything!

I have noticed an increase in cm throughout this cycle including some 'textbook' ewcm which i don't consistently get. Only thing i'm doing differently is a daily Aldi Berocca in my water bottle at work. My nails seem to be doing well as well! Hope it is them, theyre v cheap!

Feefeefs · 25/02/2016 22:22

I'll have to look into it Elle it would be fab.

I've had no even remotely tender boobs yet this cycle! Very odd.

POAS yesterday evening miley bfn. Cycle is 28-32 days so far tho. FF thinks I ovulated on the 12th OVIA thinks the 17th going to get ovulation kit for next cycle. So AF due Saturday or Monday.

KatOnATinRo0f · 25/02/2016 22:52

Catching up....
Not to be the inside-joke-police but I think you will find it was Hugh not Hugo....
^^
and moggy I'm not a fan of him getting prodded either. I find during ISW when he's high it's more comfortable and when he's low it's a bit painful/odd feeling

Worst bit is kat high which translated to Hugh has now autochanged to Hugo. Fucking computer! My cervix has a plethora of vagina gnomes knocking about and all of them upper class private school boys!

Ni I think people talk of progesterone cream to lengthen but I dont want to mess my cycles until I am past 6 months and I can see the doctor about it, so she has non altered data to work with Hmm
I have heard of women who got pregnant with a short LP and I think 10 and over is normal if on the short side but hey
So I had my scan and the lady couldnt see anything abnormal which I thought great! She said thinks like looking at your right ovary, I see nada (I kept wondering if that meant no ovary at all) and now even more puzzled about why it hurts!
Sending the results to doctor and then I have to contact doctor and see.
I think I am a bit relieved that at least I have ovaries. I have never had a scan before. Calling all health professionals here Would she have seen something like endometriosis looking? And she didnt? That means I have nada obviously in need of sorting?

Oh well. AF due tomorrow. I feel it is coming as I have been impossible to be around. OH has diagnosed bitch week so she will show up

Evergreen15 · 26/02/2016 07:01

Ladies I am kind of glad most of us are grumpy as hell and frustrated with the whole thing because misery does like company Blush
I also had a beer at dinner and finally told my OH "if Gregg said they got pregnant first time either he is lying or she is" Envy and continued with "i bet she was poas like a mother ducker and didnt tell" he looked like Hmm
I also told him that after the scan they have ruled out all text book reasons and that the health professional that did the scan said "mmhhh yes, I have seen this before, a case of penis longis, his penis is too big"GrinGrin he had the biggest grin!!!! Grin as if, I said sweety it is a joke (but he kept on smiling as he had gone to his happy place)

Feefeefs · 26/02/2016 07:53

Ever what kind of scan did you have? I am not a relevant health professional to endometriosis but I though they could only confirm diagnosis by actually looking inside? Maybe she was just looking to see if anything was blocked? Hopefully someone cleverer gives a better answer tho!

Lol at starky' upper class cervix gnomes.

DH started symptom spotting! Normally he knows my period is coming before me too ever but was surprised to here it's due. Only real symptom is farting constantly

Feefeefs · 26/02/2016 07:54

To the level that I was farting as I typed that

Kwick709 · 26/02/2016 08:04

So ever did they give you any reasons?

Many eons ago (which when I last dtd) I too had pain problems... Different positions helped as did the consumption of alcohol. A few years ago I had a check over and the Dr said that I was very "tight" and I should try and loosen up by using a vibrator Blush

I appreciate different muscles at play but it is a tad annonying that I have a tight fanjo but a weak pelvic floor Envy.

Sorry if that was TMI.

Anyway have a day 9 scan today - i hope I have loads of follicles!!!

Evergreen15 · 26/02/2016 08:16

Feefs farting yep, same here. It was a transabdominal and transvaginal internal scan. I guess I just have to wait for doctor's appointment in a couple of weeks... (Stop trying to use my google medical degree GrinGrin) kwick no reasons yet, still investigating... SadAhhh tight ha, maybe? But it is just some positions oh well! Fed up with the whole thing!
Good luck with the scan! Smile

BelliniButterfly · 26/02/2016 08:23

Ah! Why do we do it! Tested early. Ovia says my period due on Sunday but going on last two cycles it would be due on Tuesday.

Got this result with fmu. Feeling nervous after my chemical last month.

Feefeefs · 26/02/2016 08:32

Wooo congratulations Bellini!

Good luck today kwick.

I could be wrong ever but I think on those scans they would see a blockage or cyst or something but they are not great at differtientating different tissue types.

Definite line there Bellini! I would say congratulations are in order :)

LisaTheGreek · 26/02/2016 08:49

Congrats Bellini, that's great news! Lovely line! x

Evergreen15 · 26/02/2016 08:49

Thanks feefs at least there wasnt anything obviously wrong that she could see.... I will have to wait until I see doc. Bah
Bellini wow that is a line. Fingers crossed for you, it doesnt have to be like last time SmileThanks
