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

Oh Prty, I'm joining you on the bonkers boobies band wagon. They are horrendous right now. They feel like a blackhead that needs to be squeezed and popped!! Although we are at opposite ends of our cycles, and mine started off a bit tender after my OPK. Do you think you may be Ov'ing early??

MummyBex1985 · 17/09/2015 07:44

(starts gang of crazy boobs to join the crazy foofs)

MummyBex1985 · 17/09/2015 07:44

Prty that's really odd isn't it! Too early for it to be OV?

PrtyPsn · 17/09/2015 07:30

Right, this is fully cray cray now - sore boobs!! I've never had sore boobs, not before I was TTC or during. They are really tender to touch as well, weirdly it's mainly where they join to my chest, like the deep tissue, not the fullness or around my nipples :/

Thanks Shary, Prty and MrsKitten I never messaged my sister so she's just facebooking me abuse for no reason. My Mom thinks my sis has a warped view that she would be happy if she were the only one to produce kids. I'm only after the one so keeping optimistic despite meds... DId message my sis back tonight telling her her downbeat attitude to disabilities is both wrong and discriminating.. Think she forgets how easily people can gain the disabled title... After 10 years of rheumatoid I've developed a fairly thick skin.. wrong to expect siblings to speak with respect My mom always said to be grateful of what you do have, I'm always grateful of my DH, he's awesome about TTC and is just as broody as me.

Eagerly awaiting a BFP on here Smile xxx

themoo · 16/09/2015 20:54

Oh... Just...

hugs each and every one of you

SharyBobbins · 16/09/2015 20:38

OMG Tay my mouth literally fell open when I read that Shock. I can't believe anyone would say something so venomous.

Sorry to hear about everyone's crazy foofs/AF arrivals. We need a BFP soon ladies!!

CD7 here and I think AF has buggered off. Ovulated on CD28/29 last cycle so another 3 bloody weeks to wait! On the up side it means we can DTD for fun for a while not sure I remember how to DTD for fun anymore...

PrtyPsn · 16/09/2015 19:59

Bah who knows?! ella I'm a 32ish day cycle so I'd be very surprised if it was ovulation... DTD last night, perhaps too vigorously but didn't seem like it... it's a mystery!
tay excuse me and my language but that it just fucking awful! Why would she say that?! Sorry to hear about your dad too, these things take time and you take as much as you need, my lovely xx

OP posts:
MummyBex1985 · 16/09/2015 19:52

Ella my cycles are still crazy irregular! Last cycle 39, one before that 28, before that 24, this one 34. So who the hell knows when I'll next get a visit lol!

(FX not for at least 9 months Grin)

MrsKittenPie · 16/09/2015 19:33

tay - your sister is a bitch, what an awful thing to say, you should definitely ignore her. Fingers crossed for you for this weekend then Wink

MrsKittenPie · 16/09/2015 19:30

aindy - your oh sounds bloody brilliant. What a lovely message. Have a good evening together.
prty - your foof sounds as cray cray as mine - what are they playing at??!!
mummy sorry you've had a shit day too. Enjoy Mr Pinot and Mr Grigio - they are excellent companions Grin
ella - yes I've poas - in fact lots of them 'just in case' - I really am pathetic but I am so confused about my stupid foof. If it was a normal month I always feel really sad when af shows up but then as the cycle progresses get more optimistic but am totally in limbo now Confused

tay13 · 16/09/2015 19:29

Thanks Aindy, I think all of us deserve some good news this month! Smile

Shary my sister is a bit of a bitch really... Today she messaged me to say she doesn't think I am meant to have kids being disabled and all. I reminded her I can live normally and up until 17 I was fine... Think I will ignore her a while.

Lol Prty I really wanted to punch my neighbour but then decided she wasn't worth it, she said a few things about me grieving for my Dad today... Seems on top form today considering I only lost my Dad 14 months ago!

Don't give up hope moo

I don't necessarily ovulate every month and with DH away there isn't much I can do if he's not around (bloody armed forces!) but found myself checking an ovulation thingy earlier.. If I am normal this month then I'll be most fertile this weekend, hoping DH can come home for a bit - mainly because it'll be the only time I can see him before wedding anniversary on Monday Smile I think I can safely say I was lying when I said I was taking a step back from TTC! Next month I'll be too busy faffing with a new knee to think about babies

Ellamorella · 16/09/2015 19:03

Gosh, we're all struggling this week. Good we've got this thread to console us, and make us not feel we're all paranoid, etc...

Bex sorry about the arrival of the dreaded AF! Mine's still spotting, but getting heavier, and going dark red now, so am assuming I'll be in full flow tomorrow. Does that mean we can be cycle buddies for next month? I'm on a 22-24 day cycle it seems, so would be due again in around 23 days (ish!)

Prty it could be ovulation spotting....? Apparently some people spot during OV. Maybe DYD tonight as backup?!

Aindy that's such a nice message. Wish my OH would be more like that. He's of the: it'll happen when it happens camp. It would really help if we could talk about it more. I might try and talk to him about it.

I also had a crappy day at work. Is anyone else finding that the arrival of AF is making to feel extra depressed and cranky? PMT is so horrid anyway. I don't need any more on top!!

kitten have you POAS? Sorry if I'm forgetting! Might be worth double checking.

neetie fingers crossed for you that this is your month!

MummyBex1985 · 16/09/2015 18:24

(hugs for Aindy)

Work is shit at times isn't it? Had a crap day myself which was the last thing I needed after the red witch of doom arriving this morning.

Breaking my no-drinking-in-the-week vow tonight though and visiting my good friends Mr Pinot and Mr Grigio (DH is abroad as well, worst timing ever).

Pity party over now. Wine

Stripes1983 · 16/09/2015 17:47

Aww that's lovely aindy and high five on being in the now cycle trio! prty what's that about !? Dam crazy foofs !!

PrtyPsn · 16/09/2015 16:53

Awww that's really nice aindy
My foof is so mega fucked up - pink tinge on wiping... it's CD9!!!!! Cray cray!

LittleAindy · 16/09/2015 15:39

Received this, after having a good old cry down the phone to OH about how crappy work is. I thought it was a great analogy. I'm sure many of you feel like this from time to time! (Have paraphrased the bit in brackets).

I really feel for you, you must feel really alone. I understand the pressure you're under, that's not adding the pressure of [home life]. Everything is stacked up. It's like a roll of tape, you want to start sorting it out but you can't find the beginning. When you do eventually find it, it tears off and you lose it again. I'm here for you, I'll be there for you tonight, we'll have something nice to eat, turn off our phones and have a chat. On a practical level I'll help you with anything that I can.

neetie1 · 16/09/2015 14:25

Feel your pain aindy been back at school two weeks feels like about six

LittleAindy · 16/09/2015 14:17

Neetie, Stripes, we are all a day after each other. I'm due on the 26th! CD 26 here due to long cycles.

kitten sorry about your super cray cray. Why do they do it to us??

Oh Bex mega huge hugs. Good that you can indulge on holiday though. Sounds like that might be optimum DTD time?? Smile

Sorry to hear that moo. Don't lose hope though. Like Prty said, there's no reason why you can't be that 1!

Still a big weepy mess here. Work is really getting on top of me and everyone is just generally stressed at the start of term, as usual (sigh). OH being very sweet and supportive though (which made me cry even more!)

neetie1 · 16/09/2015 14:12

Weirdly have had no spotting or cramping ..so will probably get some now I've said it lol

MrsKittenPie · 16/09/2015 13:42

Hi everyone
mummy sorry to hear of your af - stupid witch, roll on next cycle for you.
Boo to those with af cramps - hopefully they are implantation twinges, will be keeping fingers crossed for you.
I have no idea what my crazy foof is doing. I have now decided that that weird spotting last week couldn't have been counted as an af as there was virtually nothing there so even though I'm on cd39 of a usually 29 day cycle I think if I even ovulated at all it was very late so could be approx 12 dpo now but bfns every day. Having said that it could have been a freakishly light af and I'm now on cd 10 ish but who the hell knows?!!! So I won't be bothering with opks this month as my foof is bloody stupid and doesn't work!

Stripes1983 · 16/09/2015 12:34

I'm day 19 too neetie due the 25th, although I'm feeling like I'm due on now, very irritable and short tempered , constipated ( sorry!) and had a twinge of period like pains in my stomach earlier !

neetie1 · 16/09/2015 12:18

Think I am day 19 due af on 24th

Stripes1983 · 16/09/2015 08:07

Aww moo like Prty says don't let the stats put you off, I know loads of woman who have been told there is pretty much no chance of getting pregnant and have gone on to have babies so don't give up hope bex that sucks ! Sending you a big hug xx

MummyBex1985 · 16/09/2015 08:00

Neetie I have my FX for you. If you've never been PG before then any new and weird symptom could be a sign Smile

Onwards and upwards indeed Smile at least now I can enjoy plenty of rare steaks and wine on holiday in a couple of weeks despite my current massive disappointment Smile
