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

Thread 12. Welcome!

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

We don't have rules as such but expect to be talked down from the ledge with kind and well meaning but firm words if you get too hysterical. But most importantly don't convince yourself your pregnant in the tww

Think I need to look up what some of the abrevatison mean on here as I don't have a clue on some of the lingo!

Rachjade89 · 04/03/2016 20:09

I also like names that aren't that common. My dd is called amber and they is no one in here class with the same name. For boys I'm think traditional maybe George but if am lucky enough for another girl she will be Alexis or Elsie.

Hi everyone! Congrats Harriet!

My temp dropped today so little miss period of doom is gunna be coming tomorrow, right when ovia predicted it so there cheers for ovia. Feeling OK about it, just wanna get it down and on to the next fertile phase!

Even if you are an open mouth breather, you put the thermometer under your tongue and that's always protected. Else you'd stop breathing!

vixarooni · 04/03/2016 20:23

Fingers crossed for you Kwik interesting reading your story. I was listening to julia bradbery today on radio 2 and she had twins through ivf at 44. I think she has a book out on the topic

Kwick709 · 04/03/2016 20:24

Off for 8 weeks to get a house sorted and settle in a bit, then back to do the immigration interview in London and pick up the rest of our stuff. I'll definitely stay in the thread, I want to see each and every one of us graduate!!! 💗💐

iPatches · 04/03/2016 20:56

Harriet - congratulations
I have had really bad cramps all day but AF hasn't showed her ugly face. She will though, I know it - and now it's just so FRUSTRATING that AF not starting is delaying my cycle further. I am not in a good place.

Anyway, I have Wine so let's get on with that.

HepKestrel · 04/03/2016 21:05

snow where in the states are you headed? I lived in Chicago for couple years

Snowdog37 · 04/03/2016 21:11

Massachusetts ❄️It snows a lot there, I was looking at my brother in laws photos from last winter. Holy crap they got over 5 feet! Can't wait though. I'm so excited I'm not going to sleep tonight. Will be a jet lagged mess by Monday. Eek!!!!

Feefeefs · 04/03/2016 21:18

Yay for snow exciting new adventure! Maybe with an extra little surprise Grin.

Sorry your feeling low ipatches hope things make themselves clear soon!

Did AF show up for you peaches?

Snowdog37 · 04/03/2016 21:27

I'll put photos of house options, I love property porn lol
I do have one random thing going on today that I haven't had any other months: I feel very ahem tingly down there 😳😄 it's not exactly unpleasant but it's weird!

Holly300 · 04/03/2016 21:34

Peaches8Posies · 04/03/2016 21:38

KatOnATinRo0f · 04/03/2016 22:36

Maybe you're just turned on, snow?!?

Hopefulbabydust · 04/03/2016 22:36

Hi guys I'm very new here so you might have to bare with me lol, I'm currently 7dpo and having snot like cm with a slight yellow twinge too it so sorry if tmi and been having constant niggles right above my bikini line & im constantly bloated, backache and mild on/off headaches I'm really hopefully this is baby no 2 as oh has already said he doesn't want any more babies so this is my only hope really, I know I'm already extremely lucky as I already have my lo but have been craving another since I gave birth! I've already got some internet cheapies but really don't want to see a bfn so trying to stop myself from testing, I never get any pains until af is here and I've only ever had that sort of cm when I was pregnant before so am really hopeful, anyone else had any similar symptoms? I'm a terrible symptom spotter so i hope it's not a mind over matter thing, thanks again ladies!!

HepKestrel · 04/03/2016 22:44

No idea hopeful. Fx for you though.

harrietm87 · 04/03/2016 23:11

Hi all thanks! Currently in a state of shock! We stopped ttc immediately after getting engaged but I must already have been pregnant. The apps told me different fws (so I had a 10 day window if I believed glow and ovia) and got engaged about halfway through, so guess the earlier one was correct! It's a bit awkward because lots of people have asked if I'm pregnant when we said our wedding was this year, and I've been strongly denying it....oops. Btw I've had absolutely zero symptoms. Felt great in fact. Period was due yesterday, had no tests at home so did an opk this am. It was positive so I ran out and bought a first response! Got that result and it wasn't fmu.

SincerelyRosie · 04/03/2016 23:42

Congrats harriet! We got engaged at Christmas 2014 & were married in August 2015. People kept asking if it was because I was pregnant - it was purely down to the facts that I hate waiting around! Good luck with the planning. Let us know what you decide to do with the date.

Thanks kwick for sharing your story. I'm crossing my fingers & toes for you!! 👍

RaeSkywalker · 05/03/2016 02:37

harriet really interesting that you had no symptoms - most of my pregnant friends say the same!

Lyssie · 05/03/2016 03:21
