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

First day back POS for the monitor for me too Youandme! I was relieved it said low this morning because I've been avoiding DTD Confused. Back to EOD from tonight!

FX Sunny!

Oh god! Minor freak out! Had jelly like CM, very stretchy but thicker than normal EWCM... convinced OH to DTD.
If it was a chemical then I'm coming into my fertile window in the next day or so... I'm away this weekend!
Hoping the CM was just some mid cycle thing and I'm still 9 days away from AF rather than just becoming fertile!

Ooh Sunny that's exciting news!

I'm back pissing on sticks for the clearblue monitor. Low today, as I expected. Last month I didn't ever get a peak at all, but I did get a positive on a cheapy OPK, and a temp rise. I'm hoping the monitor picks up the surge this month, otherwise it will have been a lot of money for not much use!

Oooo nice to hear of a possible BFP - pics?
DBFAFD - 9 (ish) nothing much to report except some possible slight breast tenderness - nowhere near how they were before but just a little fragile

Aww neetie don't write this one off yet, keep testing and pounce on him Friday !:) pirsy how annoying is that ! That's the sort of think I do all the time too ! Once locked myself out of car while it was running on day of interview ! Ooh sunny keeping everything crossed that the GBPO wasn't sure a washout ! I was due sat and no AF here yet but had def AF pains yesterday so only a matter of time!

SunnyScot89 · 30/09/2015 15:57

Sorry I've not been on for a few days, been mega busy.
I was due AF on saturday and shes still not here (I'm never late!) so i did another test this morning and i got a very faint positive. Trying not to get too excited but after my disappointment of TGBPO its kinda hard not to. All the symptoms I was getting last week have disappeared, although I've now got a cold.
Gonna test again on Saturday if AF still not arrived!

MrsKittenPie · 30/09/2015 07:48

Thanks stripes and shary Smile
neetie - oh no! It does seem too early if your apps are saying then so just dtd as much as you can when he gets back and you might still cover it.
pirsy Shock - what a nightmare! I hate it when things like that happen - which they do to me all the time!

neetie1 · 30/09/2015 07:46

Yes I am did think it was odd as only finished af on Monday. Will keep testing.
Eek about collecting your OH ...

Pirsy1 · 30/09/2015 07:41

Hi neetie - are you using the clearblue dual hormone OPK - the one that gives flashing smileys before a solid smiley? The only reason I ask is because I sometimes got a solid smiley without any flashing smileys quite soon after I started testing and I think they were false positives and I missed ovulation because of it. I ended up only trusting the solid smiley if I'd had flashing smileys before it. I would just keep DTD as much as possible just in case.

I had a disaster last night. Went to pick my husband up from the station and was 10 mins early so turned the engine off but left the heater on. When he arrived tried to turn the engine back on and had run down the battery! Had to call out a recovery truck and cost £130 for a jump start!

neetie1 · 30/09/2015 06:39

Argh disaster did opk today expecting another circle and got a fecking solid smiley face :( he's not back till Friday can't see this being the month.so cross as the apps say Sunday and Tuesday for ov :(

Stripes1983 · 29/09/2015 21:40

Oh kitten so sorry to hear you feeling low, it's so hard to keep picking yourself up, not much advise I can add I'm afraid other than I can only imagine what your feeling after the comparatively short time I've been ttc so sending lots of hugs xx

SharyBobbins · 29/09/2015 19:25

Oh Kitten Flowers I'm so frustrated after 9 months so I dread to think how you're feeling. I don't know about you but I'm scared to think positive about ttc. I'd rather be pessimistic saves getting let down Sad

MrsKittenPie · 29/09/2015 17:41

Thank you everyone for your lovely messages. You have all helped me, I can't talk to anyone in real life, dh just doesn't understand and no else I know has struggled. I'm okay. It'll take me a few days to pick myself up but I'll get there. No haven't made another appointment yet. Thank you again - you're all amazing and I want us all to get our bfps and then all go through our pregnancies together Grin x

Pirsy1 · 29/09/2015 16:59

Sending you hugs kitten. I hope your day has got better since this morning. I think TTC is a bit soul destroying - unless you're one of the lucky ones that gets pregnant at the drop of a hat. It is hard to keep picking yourself back up again every month and it plays on your mind and puts a strain on your relationship. Did you make an appointment to go back to your doctor (the nice one)? I am giving it one more month and then Im going to the doctor - we have been TTC for 12 months now (were long distance for some of that time) but I think it might put some pressure off to go to the doctor and put it in someone else's hands ifyswim.

I am pretty sure I am gearing up for AF now. Feeling really bloated and had some horrible lower abdo pains today, plus tired, headachy and spotty.

MummyBex1985 · 29/09/2015 12:37

Hugs Kitten - I know how frustrating it is for me after only a few months so I can only imagine how heartbreaking it is after 15 months.

So sorry kitten Thanks

So sorry to hear this kitten a big fat squeeze for you x
I can't imagine how hard it must be after 15 cycles but remember you have come this far, you have kept yourself going all this time because of faith and hope - exactly what us strong ladies run on. You will get there, it's hard right now but in a few days time AF will be gone and you can move forward. I believe in you x

Morning.
Not a good day for me, bfn again and spotting which means af on the way. I've had enough of ttc. I'm drained, fed up, pissed off, angry at everything. This will be cycle 16 now and I just haven't got the energy to pick myself up yet again. Once again I've convinced myself that it was my month and once again let down. I am sick of being broken and I'm sick of seeing everyone around me getting pregnant so damn easily. Sorry for the rant but I'm sat at my desk at work where I've got to help everyone and instead I feel like shouting then curling up in a ball and having a damn good cry. Sorry everyone
