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 anything 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

And our most recent thread here -

www.mumsnet.com/Talk/conception/2458534-Prtys-Gang-and-The-Festival-of-Foof-Fun-when-they-not-being-cray-cray?pg=1&order=

We are symptoms spotters extraordinaire - 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

Well, I survived the Halloween party - I only got asked if I was driving (and not drinking) because I was PG three times... I really wanted to say "I'm driving because you live in the f*ing middle of nowhere and my husband doesn't drive, you moron", but refrained and answered politey. It's not like I could even have one tiny glass when I'm driving as the limit is so low in Scotland now.

Hanging around the "perfect" couple who are 4, nearly 5 months in didn't do much for my anxiety though.

However, looks like I'm on the TWW as high temps for the last 2-3 days. If I did OV over the weekend, we DTD both days, so we've done the best we can and it's up to The Powers That Be now!

AF is due to show up about 14/15 Nov, so will be due to POAS on the Sunday...

MrsFlowers82 · 03/11/2015 09:41

Morning all! Sorry Shary for the BFN.

TOTALLY sick of baby bombs! I want the next one to be from me one of us.

Thermometer arrived yesterday. Wish me luck!

Morning ladies, if I go by my last LP of 12 days then AF is due today. Stupidly took a test this morning which was, of course, a BFN. It has hit me even harder this time after a 50+ day cycle. My temps are on their way down to which kind of confirms it Sad

So it's John Wayne vs Les Dawson in The Great British Pee Off and Prty's judging... get ready to be basted, lovelies!

Know the feeling bex dreading hiding the no alcohol at Xmas, I'm sure people will joke about a possible pregnancy and that will be heartbreaking

MummyBex1985 · 02/11/2015 21:17

I can't help but wonder now I've ditched caffeine and cut down on booze whether people around me are starting to suspect. Could just be my paranoia but one of my friends has made several hinting baby related comments at me over the last few weeks....

Anyway I do believe I'm now 3DPO and firmly back in the 2WW. My boobs are killing me so FX they stay painful lol.

pirsy no, only a close friend who I confided in because she was struggling in her own TTC journey (she has since given up - long story) I got very close to telling my sister today but I can't deal with the pressure of them waiting for news every month or them asking constantly how it's going :/ I said in an earlier thread about how even if they aren't asking you know it's on their mind 'the only thing worse than not knowing, is you thinking that I don't know'

MrsKittenPie · 02/11/2015 20:58

shary - yes thank goodness for the support here- I would go mad otherwise!
You're nearing test date aren't you? How are you feeling? My Amazon delivery of pregnancy tests arrived today - so full of new cycle optimism for now Smile

SharyBobbins · 02/11/2015 20:46

Kitten love the phrase 'baby bomb' to describe other peoples pregnancy news! Glad we can support each other when said bombs go off!

MrsKittenPie · 02/11/2015 20:16

pirsy - your gp sounds lovely, bet you feel much better now Smile

Pirsy1 · 02/11/2015 20:08

Thanks for the kind messages everyone! Yes I do feel more positive now. I was a bit nervous going in but the GP was really easy to talk to. We have been TTC for 13 months, although for a long time I was working away during the week which may have reduced our chances, but she said we might as well get the ball rolling with tests etc now which was really good.

Prty you seem to have had a barrage of baby announcements recently you poor thing, does anyone in your family know that you're TTC?

PrtyPsn · 02/11/2015 19:39

Oh, and if we are keeping count - another family pregnancy announcement today... swear to god I'm just gonna blow at the next one!!!

Pleased that your GP appointment went well Pirsy and good to hear the waiting times aren't too long. How are you feeling now? Bit more positive? Maybe it feels better knowing something is starting to get done. Remind me, how long have you been ttc?

MrsKittenPie · 02/11/2015 19:36

glitter- sorry for the babybomb Sad, I suspect a couple of my friends are pregnant and am just bracing myself to cope with the announcements- I feel so bad for feeling that way but I can't help it

MrsKittenPie · 02/11/2015 19:32

pirsy - am glad it went well at the doctors - that all will take you closer to your bfp Smile

MrsKittenPie · 02/11/2015 19:30

Hi everyone!
Sorry I've been absent for a couple of days. Was waiting for af to bugger off which it has now so onwards and upwards with this new cycle. Am going to stay positive this month I've decided that is my new tactic Smile
Have been taking temps - my chart looks like Rocky Mountains but never mind - it's all new to me. Am looking forward to seeing if it will show ovulation or not.
prty - my cycle buddy - are you getting ready for fertile week too?! I've been basted tonight and have warned dh he's not going to get a night off now til next week! Blush wishful thinking I think but we'll see!
Going to read back for a catch up now......

SharyBobbins · 02/11/2015 19:29

That's great news Pirsy! So glad it went well Smile

Pirsy1 · 02/11/2015 19:05

So I went to the doctors today and really glad I went! The doctor was lovely and very sympathetic. Have forms to do bloods and husband needs to do sperm sample and then can think about referral to a fertility clinic if don't manage to get pregnant in the meantime. I was surprised to hear that the waiting times aren't too long either.

Hi MumT thanks for sharing your story, sorry to hear of your losses.
Can see why BFP is so difficult for you. I'm afraid I can't offer much knowledge, maybe your body just takes a long time to produce hcg? I can totally see why you are worried, it could be nothing though. It's hard but try not to POAS too much, see how things go, there's nothing you can change at this point, lovely x

Hi ladies ... Looking for advise ... Was a member and regular poster back in 2011... Long story short
1dd (16years) 3 mc (hence joining here) 1ds(2.5 years) 1mc dec 2014 and last Monday poas and bfp again ...
Issue being all mc have been early. 3 didn't get as far as heartbeat but body didn't cotton on and continued being pregs had to have erpcs. Last mc got heartbeat at 6 weeks by 8 weeks no more ....
So forward to now ... Bfp Monday last week clear blue says 1-2 weeks just to check did another test yesterday and still the same ... To me the levels should raised.. And should by yesterday be showing 2-3 weeks... I strongly suspect levels not increasing so failing again ....really don't want this again ... Anyone think the dates are ok to still be showing as 1-2 weeks ???
Last af 28th sept so due 26th October and support welcomed ...

Pirsy1 · 02/11/2015 08:44

Flowers well done on the DTD. Fingers crossed!

Poppy that is rubbish. Keep your chin up - I hope that it will be your turn soon! In the meantime have a Brew and some Cake.

Well I was working this weekend so feeling tired today. Haven't got much on this afternoon so planning to leave work early to go to the doctors.

PrtyPsn · 02/11/2015 08:12

poppy that's a whole bunch of crappy news :( I hate pg related dreams - if they are horrid ones with BFN then it's too much like real life & if they are nice ones with a baby or BFP then it just reminds you what you haven't got when you wake up :(

glitterpoppy · 02/11/2015 07:29

Morning all.. Thanks for the positive thoughts! Still no AF on cd41, definitely not PG so just the waiting game now till AF comes. Dreamt that I went to the doctors last night and told him about it and he was going to have a word with his senior and come back to me, it's even affecting my dreams now!!

My other friend text me last night too to tell me she was PG.. Felt gutted strike #2!

Hope everyone else is ok this gloomy Monday!!

MrsFlowers82 · 01/11/2015 22:08

Beanz I tell my OH. I have tried a few different tactics but he knows what I am up to! Blush The good news is we managed to DTD when I got back from the lunch and before he went to work! He initiated it so I think knowing does motivate him.

Hope you aren't waiting too long Shary and Glitter. I'm crossing my fingers for you both that AF stays away and you get some good news!
