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

I've never even had a squinter before!

I don't know whether to tell DH or not. He's at work (I'm at home on a flex day). He only works over the road. I'm not sure he would understand the concept of the squinter, tbh, and as the monitor says not pregnant he probably just won't believe me! But I am not good at keeping my mouth shut!

They are squinters but I can just about see a grey-ish line on them :) very exciting youandme!!

YouAndMeAreGoingToFallOut · 19/10/2015 08:35

Although the monitor was a BFN, there is a second line on the test....

YouAndMeAreGoingToFallOut · 19/10/2015 08:31

Maybe you can almost see it here? It looks a bit grey but it's got a pinkish tinge in real life definitely. My clear blue monitor says not pregnant but that's not surprising at 10dpo is it!

YouAndMeAreGoingToFallOut · 19/10/2015 08:28

So...I'm 10dpo today and I think I've got a squinter of a line on an IC. It's so faint I can't even really get a picture!

Aww poppy (hugs) that sucks - and is pretty much what happened to me over the weekend... someone's messing about with our dreams!!
Still no AF here, some kinda slippery yellowish discharge instead. I'm giving up on my body!

glitterpoppy · 19/10/2015 07:37

So this morning I've POAS and it was BFN! Sad so must for me waiting to test.. Had a dream I did it and it was positive so it spurred me on.. Hate negative tests, it's such a Larry let down on Monday morning!

SharyBobbins · 18/10/2015 22:28

Flowers Moo everything crossed for you!

bex with the exception of OH and my one friend who knows we are TTC nobody else knows I've quit drinking (if they did know they would guess about TTC instantly!) it's involved a lot of lying and pretending which has probably been harder than quitting! OH said he would quit too though I wasn't really bothered if he did it not, he hasn't managed it but has cut down. That probably makes it easier in public because if we both stopped it would look odd.
I'm not preaching or anything but believe me, I was exactly the sane as you, but it's not for everyone. It does get easier the longer you go without :)

My god I don't know what I'd do without you all lol

breaks out a chocolate orange in your honour

MummyBex1985 · 18/10/2015 21:22

Prty my main problem is DH, he wouldn't quit drinking so the temptation would always be there and I have no willpower at all. I feel like I NEED my morning coffee (although I do drink decaf during the day) and if I have a stressful day I also NEED wine (lol).

People I know will think I'm PG if I quit drinking and I'd probably feel like slapping them for saying it lol!

Still, I'm going to give it a go. Nothing else is working so why not Wink

MrsKittenPie · 18/10/2015 21:21

poppy - sounds like a plan! I could do with some of your will power myself Smile

glitterpoppy · 18/10/2015 21:14

I'm going to wait afew days and may POAS later this week.. I'll see how I go and how the temptation is!

MrsKittenPie · 18/10/2015 20:50

Sorry to anyone having a crap time Flowers
neetie - how strange about your boobs! Our bodies really like to play tricks on us and it's so confusing.
poppy - sounds interesting- when are you testing?
prty - how confusing for you
Hi newbies - welcome to this lovely thread!
moo - oh no, that must be so upsetting, they definitely looked like bfps though so maybe wait a couple of days then test again? Easier said than done
Sorry if I've missed anyone - quickly read thread to catch up.
Prediction - I will start poas this week as based on that spotting last month being an af then I will be due next weekend - I always do this to myself - try and convince myself I see I faint line on all the sticks then my spotting begins and my hopes are shattered again then roll onto next month....

glitterpoppy · 18/10/2015 20:45

I'm CD26, my app tells me AF is due 23rd. If that's right I have no idea as my cycles have been very irregular.. Confusing!

PrtyPsn · 18/10/2015 20:01

Awww moo keep the faith, it ain't over til it's over, put the sticks down though and wait out AF :)
poppy sounds interesting, when's AF due?

Pirsy1 · 18/10/2015 20:00

Hi funny and rosi - welcome to this lovely thread!

Moo - I hope those negative tests today were faulty. I will be very disappointed if yesterday's news was a false alarm. Fingers crossed that AF stays away.

Poppy where are you in your cycle now?

We are going to family wedding next weekend - DHs cousin. DH has said he would like to be a daddy before his cousin so that our baby can be the first out of all his cousins. I think this is unlikely because they will probably be one of those couples that gets pregnant on the honeymoon - but we really need to try our hardest to make this happen!

glitterpoppy · 18/10/2015 19:51

Hi all, waves to the new people I went out for a meal last night with my DH and Id felt pretty sick every time I ate all day and last night was no exception, we ended up coming home early... Either symptoms or the fact that I eat like a pig?! Probably the latter Confused

themoo · 18/10/2015 19:49

Hi all, hello newbies too!
Lots of posts I just read, can't remember much (sorry) except the snidey comments bit. My managing director said last week 'did you do anything nice at the weekend? What do childless couples do these days for fun?' He was being funny (he has two young boys) but I only just stopped myself from saying 'try to make children'

Anyhoo. Not having a great day. After my two bfps in a row I've tried 4other brands both yesterday and today, including a FRER. All negative. I'm thinking this might not be what it seemed. I guess still early yet though. 10dpo today.

bex it's easier than you think - I used to drink a few times a week and cannot function without coffee, been booze free since March and caffeine free for a good few months now, it's an adjustment but nearly as much as you'd think. I just need to overhaul my diet :/ due to this ridiculous cycle, like either 9 or 3 days late for AF now (I'm guessing due to my bleed/chemical) I'm gonna try OPK again for next cycle - never had a positive with them but feeling really lost atm

Rosi393 · 18/10/2015 19:04

Thanks for the nice welcome! It's good to know we aren't on are own. TTC is definitely a roller coaster ??

MummyBex1985 · 18/10/2015 19:01

I'll join the weird boob crew (lol), mine have been tingling for five days but on third day of AF so definitely not PG.

Wondering if it's worth chucking everything at it this month - OPKs, quitting booze altogether, pre seed, bla bla although I'd do that, get another BFN and be even more pissed off than I am now

Welcome to the new people Smile

neetie1 · 18/10/2015 18:42

I think I will just carry on as normal and monitor boobs and everything else,

my body had always been weird lol
Am at docs on the 30th so by then I should know a bit more

Oh god, 2 newbies on one day (runs around trying to find chocolate bars instead of just wrappers to throw into a starter pack then thrusts it at beanz)
You are more than welcome to join our crazy little gang, my lovely :) totally know what you mean re: avoiding pregnancy for 15 years! Hopefully you can find some comfort here x
neetie sorry to hear of BFN, why do our bodies do this?!
Current mood - never, ever, POAS again, so there (blows raspberry at own womb)

neetie1 · 18/10/2015 17:11

To add to the weirdness mrsf am getting niggly tight sensations and feeling dizzy and light headed. Hmm did a cheapie teSt just then and of course BfN but it's all very odd.
