Hi (big wave)
So you clicked on here cos you were looking for me (I'm flattered!) or the title seemed interesting!
I'm aware it doesn't really explain but we are bunch of lovely ladies all TTC and going ever so slightly crazy with it! For more info see our original thread here - www.mumsnet.com/Talk/conception/2412386-TTC-anxious-over-early-pregnancy-possible-symptoms?msgid=56357000#56357000

We are symptoms spotters extrodinaire - you name it we've had it, real and/or imagined Confused
We are here to help, we are all supportive, we laugh, rant, cry, joke, rage, smile, and comfort together. Be you a lurker or poster (established or new) then you are very welcome here. We only have a few rules:

  1. No judgement - we all lead different lives and have different standards and that is fine. You wanna get wasted everyday of TWW, that's fine. You wanna abstain completely, that's fine. We need support, not judgement.
  2. No feeling stupid - we've all had those months where we definitely think we are pg 110% convinced and then AF turns up, don't feel bad about it, it happens. Also we all have different levels of knowledge so no question is stupid apart from the one you don't ask.
  3. On this thread there is no such thing as TMI - we are all adults and we all know how miraculous and amazing... and downright disgusting our bodies can be, it's fine. Share what you want, we will not be fazed.

So that's it, jump in and FX'd for all my lovelies xx

Monday would have prolly been the simpler answer rolls eyes at self and hoiks boobs up

themoo · 22/09/2015 21:10

Not till cd 28 kitten, which is 15dpo. At least that's the plan.

MrsKittenPie · 22/09/2015 20:51

moo - I always do that near af time too just to check!! I've got a lovely mental picture of you now hoiking your boobs up too Grin. When are you going to test?

themoo · 22/09/2015 20:46

Alreet pet?
Welcome youandme and rach Smile
Neetie (or Bertie according to autocorrect)... Rubbish :( and no OH to cheer you up :(
Stripes you're no more mental than the rest of us (!) and kitten I quite like your complete lack of clue about where you are lol

I'm on 9dpo now. I keep checking my boobs for pre AF soreness. Im probably making them bloody sore by doing it. And I look like les Dawson doing his impression of a woman hoiking her boobs up all the time Grin

Prty, you may now throw chocolate at me. waits

MrsKittenPie · 22/09/2015 19:52

Helloooo!! I'm back too Smile
Oh my god did I miss mumsnet last night!! Glad we're all back.
neetie so sorry for af arrival, I know exactly what it's like and it is so gutting. We are all here for you though and your next cycle will be here before you know it.
Welcome youandme - this is a lovely thread - I'm a relative newbie and have been made very welcome Grin
stripes - fingers crossed for you!
Sorry to anyone I've missed. My news is I'm still on cycle day ? - still bfns on cheapies, no idea if I've ovulated and have totally lost the plot now!

Make sure you let us know the results stripes hope you managed to get them at the right time!
shary pahahaha I still reckon our foofs are worse than MN outages!

OP posts:
SharyBobbins · 22/09/2015 19:03

Phew! Looks like everyone made it back safe and well after the outage! MN is more unpredictable than our foofs! The only benefit to last nights enforced MN abstinence was me picking up Ella's book The Baby Making Bible. Didn't get very far in so still trying to keep an open mind...has anyone else read it yet?

Sorry to hear of the AF's. Neetie indulge yourself in OH's absence- chocolate, wine, take aways.

Aindy is everything resolved with OH now?

Welcome youandme! I recognise you from the September thread too but I've not looked at that one for a long time...not sure I'm feeling the 'bus' threads- much prefer it here with this crazy bunch :)

Rach what's your ttc story so far?

Hi to everyone else! There's been quite a lot of activity on here so I'm struggling to remember where everyone is at! xxx

Stripes1983 · 22/09/2015 18:38

Thanks prty slides choc fingers into back pocket I had my blood test yesterday so should know this week fx if I'm ovulating, although due my crazy cycle last month it's thrown my average out a bit so may take a few attempts to get an accurate result, anyway thanks for being my sounding board retreats to sofas with cuppa

PrtyPsn · 22/09/2015 18:22

I seem to have settled into a 32 day ish cycle, app reckons I O around day 17.
If AF due so soon then they could very well be symptoms for her or the other, it may well be a long four days, my love (slides over a twin pack of Chocolate Fingers)

Stripes1983 · 22/09/2015 18:13

dunks biscuit in tea like life depends on it Last cycle was the only time it's been 42 days, averages normally about 32 though , according to app AF due on Saturday

PrtyPsn · 22/09/2015 17:25

Easy stripes (hands out a cup of tea and a mountain of biscuits)
Interesting symptoms... is 42 days a usual cycle for you? LP is generally 10-16 days I think so I'd count back from expected date of AF and guess you Ov'd around there - I feel your pain not knowing when/if it's happened but that's how I/my app calculates fertile days...

OP posts:
Stripes1983 · 22/09/2015 17:11

Also welcome youandme apologies your first experience of me is a TWW (potentially) meltdown !!

Stripes1983 · 22/09/2015 17:10

prty sorry for BFN but sounds you might be super fertile as a result - fx ! neetie sorry about AF arrival - big hugs X
selfishly jumps to front of queue for advice So I'm on CD25, no idea if/when I ovulated, getting creamy CM, felt really sick twice today ( 1st thing & this afternoon) toothbrush/toothpaste tasted/ smelt really weird this morn and made me gag, going for a wee after every small drink, no other symptoms, any ideas - does this mean I'm ov now ?(had 42 day cycle last time) does it mean I'm getting some weird AF symptoms ? Could I be pg? And the most likely answer - am I just cray cray?

SunnyScot89 · 22/09/2015 15:39

Aindy I'm currently CD24, Oviva says 4 days till I should test. No idea when I ovulated as my OPK never turned positive but I reckon I'll be around 10dpo.

Welcome YouAndMe I really wouldn't worry about the sauna, I'm sure plenty people have done far worse in the early stages!! Just try to relax, far more chance of conceiving if you're not stressed!!!

PrtyPsn · 22/09/2015 15:29

Jeez, autocorrect really screwed me over there! Totally should focus on doing one thing at a time!!

(sits awkwardly in the corner) yeah... I mean... I don't live my life like I'm pregnant... noooo... not like every single day or anything...
Yeah, I'm totally cray cray!!
I second what aindy says, it is still early days. Also I wouldn't worry about the hot tub, I hacecread about extremes of temperature in early pregnancy but people done tons of things before they even realise they are pregnancy and like you say, you can't live in a bubble (retreats safely into living like I'm pregnant bubble)

OP posts:
YouAndMeAreGoingToFallOut · 22/09/2015 15:19

Thanks LittleAindy. I know it would probably be fine. I tried Googling about saunas in the TWW and mainly got a lot of hysterical stuff about behaving as if you are pregnant for the whole TWW every month in every way, which doesn't seem that realistic to me, when you've no idea how long it might be before you even get pregnant!

LittleAindy · 22/09/2015 15:04

Hello YouAndMe!! big wave (love the username btw!)

Nice to see another recruit. Still early days yet, so Fx'd for you. No need to worry about hot tub either, it's potentially just a teeny tiny spec at the moment Smile

YouAndMeAreGoingToFallOut · 22/09/2015 14:50

Oh you know the usual raft of nondescript stuff - tired, sore boobs, creamy CM. I pointlessly did a cheap test yesterday afternoon and it was obviously negative.

Also feeling a bit anxious that if I am pregnant I will have damaged the baby by going in a sauna and steam room at the weekend. So the usual neurotic nonsense.

Welcome youandme (I can't see the rest of your username haha!)
Come in, grab a seat and a handful of Maltesers!
I'm sure you're not a thread killer! 11dpo... Not too much longer go wait then :) symptoms?

OP posts:
YouAndMeAreGoingToFallOut · 22/09/2015 14:03

Hi ladies can I join in? I've been lurking a bit and you all seem very friendly. I was on the September bus thread but it's all gone very quiet. I think I might be a thread killer!

I'm 11dpo today, on cycle 3. TTC baby number 1. Trying really hard not to symptom spot, and failing.

LittleAindy · 22/09/2015 13:49

Prty still got the pornstar full boobies and sore nips that started around Ov'ing. I'm not the most blessed in that department so I can usually sleep on my front, but last night was SO uncomfortable! Still got 'school glue' CM (as Ovia calls it!). The occasional cramps and back ache but it's all very similar to previous symptoms that have resulted in AF. No sickness or headaches or tiredness or change in appetite (although my cornflakes tasted odd last night but that could have just been the milk!)

neetie don't feel bad about OH feeling disappointed. That just means he's as excited about it as you! and unlikely to tell you to bugger off find your own sperm donor

Bex and Prty I swear by Huggies wipes. They last forever, even once opened! Stock up - you can never have too many!

sunny interesting one! I wonder.... Hmm where are you in you cycle?

Rach chin up, lovely. It's no easy task. And those who make it seem that way are the exception to the rule! Flowers

tay13 · 22/09/2015 12:40

Sunny I was really itchy in early pregnancy... To the extreme lol apparently it's really common.
Sorry to hear about AF neetie
Had a nightmare day yesterday with the dog needing an emergency op at the vets.. Thankfully home now!

PrtyPsn · 22/09/2015 11:07

sunny I've heard of women scratching in late pregnancy... don't rule it out though!

(Runs around the thread like a kid who's eaten too much sugar)
Waahhhh!!!! My precious thread!! Overdosing now after so much down time!! All present and correct?
neetie that's crap news, lovely. We all know the sting of thinking its THE month then AF messes everything up! Chin up, onwards to more humping in 10 days!
Thanks aindy and bex we just thought it made sense to prepare, I know you can never afford children but why not have a bit of cash behind it as well as some supplies. Childcare is so expensive, fortunately I do have my parents but I'm not sure if I agree with their techniques they will be able to look after when the time comes. We could probably get away with me dropping some hours at work and a chance OH could work same hours but in fewer days so might only need a day or two a week.
aindy any symptoms??
