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

Prty I think your plan to give it until 6 weeks and then see the doctor is a good one. It is very frustrating for you though.

Sorry about the BFN Kitten. It is definitely hard when you don't know where you are in your cycle!

MrsKittenPie · 20/10/2015 20:22

Yes prty - that sounds like a plan, i hate our bonkers bodies sometimes Sad

MrsKittenPie · 20/10/2015 20:19

Enjoy the basting tonight shary and pirsy Grin
prty - this limbo is awful for you, hope af hurries up so you can get on with the next cycle.
moo - I agree with pirsy, see how the next few days go.
Bfn here for me. I'm another who has got no idea what's going on - af could rock up any day now Confused

But if a guessing game really pirsy either about 13 days ago or 3 days ago, I'm thinking bleed was chemical/early MC which has just sent my cycle bonkers. 10 days will be six weeks since the bleed so if nothing by then I will seek medical advice :(

Shary we are OPK buddies!! Hoping to DTD again tonight too, DH has just gone out but I will do it again tonight even if it means waking up at midnight to get the job done! Think I have ovulated today as had some sharp right sided pains this afternoon. We can go through our 2 week wait together too Smile.

Prty I hope your AF just comes soon so that you can get started on a new cycle where you will have a better idea of timings. When were you expecting AF?

Awwww moo. Let's see what happens over the next few days.

themoo · 20/10/2015 19:34

And a big thank you for all your kind messages. You're alright, you lot Wink

themoo · 20/10/2015 19:32

Massive congratulations youandme and rosi!!

Didn't test today. 12dpo and cd24 so should expect AF spotting tomorrow and start on thurs. Cramps stronger today. Ah well.

PrtyPsn · 20/10/2015 19:23

Still no AF here and another BFN, no idea why I'm testing because I'm clearly not pg, think I just feel a bit useless since I have no idea what's going on with my cycle :/

MrsFlowers82 · 20/10/2015 19:21

Congrats Rosi and YouandMe!!!

Looking good Shary - wishing you a happy night's basting!!!

SharyBobbins · 20/10/2015 16:55

Fingers crossed youandme! Rosi that's got to be a BFP congratulations!!

Hugs Pirsy I feel the same as you. It's great that you got a +opk though! Can you DTD tonight too?
I've just got another strong positive on my opks so looks like we'll be having contrived, forced, unsexy sex again tonight. Temperature went up by 0.2 this morning so fx I'm ovulating.

glitterpoppy · 20/10/2015 08:20

youandme that looks like it's definitely getting stronger, how exciting!!

I've not POAS this morning.. I'm going to wait to see if AF arrives, seeing the BFN yesterday was awful. I have got a funny stomach type of ache this morning so AF may be on its way soon.... Although I do have a meeting at work this morning too which I'm not particularly looking forward to!

rose you should be fine for your flu jab, I think. I'm trying to decide if mouth ulcers are a symptom... did read it can be due to hormone imbalance/surge so I'm clinging to that haha! Still no AF here...

PrtyPsn · 20/10/2015 08:06

pirsy that's a good OPK! I know what you mean though, sometimes I don't wanna DTD and give up because nothing ever seems to happen but then I know that's not how I'm gonna get my baby. We all have bad days, lovely, it will get better x

BittersweetRose · 20/10/2015 07:59

Congratulations, youandme and rosi!

I can't understand my body - I woke up gassy and with a slight heartburn-like sensation. I've not eaten in hours! Feel like I've not slept too. Keep thinking this is a sign I've got lucky and I'm one of this months 30%, but then, what weird symptoms?

I get my flu jag tomorrow. Can't remember if it's one where they ask if you're pregnant. I guess they'll have to make do with 'I don't know - it's possible?'!

YouAndMeAreGoingToFallOut · 20/10/2015 07:46

Thanks - I still can't believe it! Nothing different this month really, unless you count having an incredibly stressful week at work during my fertile period, which I don't think I would recommend.

Pirsy1 · 20/10/2015 07:45

Rosi that is 100% a positive test. Congratulations!

Youandme - I agree with Prty def getting stronger. Fingers crossed AF stays away! Tentative congratulations!!

Moo - I think you will have to just wait and see if AF makes an appearance and try to hold off testing again until then. Slow torture I know. Flowers

I have attached my OPK from last night - decided to give them another go which I think is a positive on day 13? Managed to DTD last night but honestly thinking about giving up on TTC. It is such a struggle and don't think it's ever going to happen for us, maybe should just be happy with being just the two of us and having a disposable income! Sorry, feeling fed up today.

So it's John Wayne vs Les Dawson in The Great British Pee Off and Prty's judging... get ready to be basted, lovelies!
MrsKittenPie · 20/10/2015 07:41

youandme - line is looking really good - congratulations!! Did you do anything different this month?

PrtyPsn · 20/10/2015 07:22

Definitely getting stronger youandme!!!

rosi a line is a lone, regardless of brand. The only thing that causes a line to be pink is pregnancy hormone. Looks pretty definite to me!

OP posts:
YouAndMeAreGoingToFallOut · 20/10/2015 07:19

That looks like a very clear BFP to me Rosi - the line doesn't need to be as dark as the control line (and I think pretty rarely is).

Another positive for me this morning. It's still faint, but a little bit darker than yesterday (possibly just because today I used FMU).

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

Just catching up.. I took myself off to bed early yesterday to get rid of my mood!

Aww moo I don't understand it at all, I'm so confused by my body at the minute too Confused

Ohh rosi that looks promising, congratulations Flowers!!

Rosi393 · 20/10/2015 05:58

Advice required please..
I poas this morning, it was only a cheap one out of pound land there were definitely two lines one was lighter than the other...has anyone else used these tests. I'm going to use clear blue tomorrow morning. Fingers crossed its bfp!

MrsKittenPie · 19/10/2015 22:31

Sorry ladies, only just caught up.
youandme - eek - so exciting for you!!
moo - you must be going through hell. We're all here for you Flowers. Definitely no one understands like other ttcers - but as prty says you will get through it and we will be there for you xx

themoo · 19/10/2015 22:31

MrsFlowers82 · 19/10/2015 22:08

I often think the same Moo. It can seem like no one understands, but we are all here for each other; whether we are ranting, moaning or generally over analysing. You can share my Revels anytime lady xxx
