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

No am 43 :)

Replay, not reply. Stupid iPhone.

Neetie we did too. I think we're the same age? I'm 40. Sorry if that's a massive insult and you're 30 or something lol

themoo · 15/10/2015 20:09

Aw prty maybe I'll be at that stage too in a couple of months.

hugs you for slightly too long I'm so bloody cold. Tempted to have a bath just to warm up but the thought of undressing doesn't butter my crumpet right now. Mind you, I could wallow while listening to Liza Tarbuck on reply (totally have a girl crush on her. I love her.) (and Sue Perkins)

neetie1 · 15/10/2015 20:08

I just get scared it will never happen..I know we left it late but I so want this to have a happy ending

PrtyPsn · 15/10/2015 20:03

The more the months roll on the more fearful I get moo there's a tinge of excitement til I see the BFN then remember how bloody awful it is!

Still is for me prty!

7dpo today. Had a few AF type cramps (but much milder). Very unusual but then maybe I've had then before and not noticed because I was normal before starting this TTC palaver...

PrtyPsn · 15/10/2015 19:53

Anyone remember when POAS was exciting? Haha!

OP posts:
neetie1 · 15/10/2015 19:37

Haha mummybex am very tempted

MummyBex1985 · 15/10/2015 19:18

neetie I suggest you throw your body in the bin and get a new one.

I'll be joining you. Dreading POAS tomorrow, not sure I can face another disappointment Confused

neetie1 · 15/10/2015 17:56

Still very weird just swabbed with cotton bud and it's lighter than yesterday. .. It always gets heavier the closer to af it gets not lighter

neetie1 · 15/10/2015 17:13

Af is due on Sunday so she could still make an appearance

PrtyPsn · 15/10/2015 16:20

Pahahaha shary freedom!!!!

YouAndMeAreGoingToFallOut · 15/10/2015 14:19

Ha Shary that did make me laugh!

MrsFlowers82 · 15/10/2015 14:18

Oooo FX for you Neetie! Was AF due today?

Shary that is the first smile I have had all day Grin

MummyBex1985 · 15/10/2015 13:40

Lol shary that's really funny! I have boxed my OPKs up and I haven't touched them in three months!

SharyBobbins · 15/10/2015 13:18

Momentous day!! I've taken the batteries out of my CB monior & ditched it in the wardrobe! Screw FMU I can't be arsed anymore!!

neetie1 · 15/10/2015 12:57

No clue what's happening. No cramps and no bleeding as yet very odd

MrsKittenPie · 15/10/2015 11:27

rose - we're cycle buddies then, I will be poas in about a week and a half too. Although haven't confirmed ovulation so am guessing a bit really. I am thinking about investing in a thermometer to see what's going on - might save me a fortune in pregnancy tests that are always negative!

BittersweetRose · 15/10/2015 09:27

Still another week and a half for me to go before I'm allowed to POAS (assuming no AF appears in the meantime). I expect that will be a BFN though.

I agree we need a BFP soon, though! It's definitely been a miserable month for lots of us.

Turns out my CM was v. confusing becuase I had some residual thrush post coil (that was the definite downside to the coil - regular thrush!). Once I took something for it, it's clearly been EW the last few days, and I've bought some non-sperm-killing lube too. Temp has been 0.1 up on the previous average today and yesterday, but I'm not sure if that's becuase I've got a cold. I think that's more likely than that I've ov'd.

I love all your pets - we don't have any, but we hope to get a dog in the future, once we have a garden.

MrsKittenPie · 15/10/2015 08:16

Fingers crossed mummy! Yes we are well overdue a bfp on this thread - I'm really hoping for you and prty Grin
mrsflowers Flowers, hope that bitchy af buggers off soon

MummyBex1985 · 15/10/2015 08:08

Sorry you're out again Mrs F Sad I'm due to POAS again tomorrow, it'll be CD31 I think. No symptoms but also haven't had AF symptoms either which usually come ages before AF so FX.

We are seriously due another BFP on this thread!

MrsFlowers82 · 15/10/2015 07:56

Morning all. Well AF is here Angry Actually woke me up in the night it's so heavy (sorry TMI). I have given up trying to understand and symptom spot (I say this firmly now but watch me fail miserable next TWW!)

Prty did AF arrive? Agree with Kitten your symptoms sound positive! FX for you.

Anyone else due to POAS soon? I am going to live hopefully through all you!

MrsKittenPie · 15/10/2015 07:40

Morning everyone!
Loving the cute pictures- I've got 3 cats and they're as mad as anything!
prty - your symptoms sound very promising, I'm getting my hopes quietly up for you.
Sorry to neetie and mrsflowers - af is a total bitch. I totally understand how you are feeling. Just look after yourselves, think forward to next cycle
