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

It's horrible isn't it youandme, I was gutted when AF came last month for obvious reasons but it was nice just to go to bed and sleep! We've DTD every night since the weekend just in case I ovulate (getting high on CBAFM, negative OPKs) but I think there's only been one night where I've actually wanted to. OH is happy to play his part but I'm sure he's starting to feel a bit emotionally neglected even if he's physically satisfied (if you know what I mean).

YouAndMeAreGoingToFallOut · 08/10/2015 19:47

I know what you mean Shary. DH and I both really busy at work at the moment and both knackered. I feel like we have to have sex, but neither of us really want to, so it's not much fun!

SharyBobbins · 08/10/2015 19:22

Sorry for the BFN Prty :(

Feeling fed up today, CD29, still no signs of ovulation. Sex stopped being sexy over a week ago, now it's just functional. Pretty fed up of ttc now if I'm honest. I just want to go to bed and sleep! Sex if starting to feel like a chore I feel guilty about if I don't do it.

Anyone feeling the same?!

Stripes1983 · 08/10/2015 19:17

Haha neetie sounds like a great date then !

neetie1 · 08/10/2015 18:49

4th June is a very good day to be born...I should know ;)

Stripes1983 · 08/10/2015 18:47

Aww sorry prty didn't see your latest post ! Don't give up hope yet though it doesn't mean a def no - stay away AF!!

Stripes1983 · 08/10/2015 18:46

prty - I'm the last person to ask for help with willpower!! If I were you I'd be snatching the test from dh as soon as he walked through the door....... Surely one won't hurt?!
Yey for ovulation youandme Grin

YouAndMeAreGoingToFallOut · 08/10/2015 14:05

I would just do it Prty but I have no willpower!

I'm pretty sure I'm ovulating right now. I got a Peak on the monitor this morning, but I've got the telltale weird pain in my side. I think my LH surges must be pretty short! Luckily we DTD last night.

I'm a big believer in the power of positive thinking neetie it will happen for you x

OP posts:
MrsKittenPie · 08/10/2015 13:32

Morning all!
DBAFD 1... nothing much to report, some vague twinges last night, kinda right region for AF but not the right kinda pain, I know that doesn't make much sense! Crazy CM still... thinking of packing a pg test for the weekend so can still POAS as planned on Sat...

SunnyScot89 · 08/10/2015 08:02

I hear ya sweetrose my works exactly the same.. Had insomnia some nights this week as I'm stressing so much which isn't helping me at all. Had a stern word with myself and I'm going to try a more carefree approach!

BittersweetRose · 08/10/2015 07:32

Congratulations, stripes! FX'd this is a good sign for the thread, esp for those due to POAS this weekend.

Stil, waiting for proof I've ov'd over here. No change in BBT, so no idea what's going on. It's possible I ov'd right before the mirina came out (based on a few AF like bleeds I had over the summer), but I'm not convinced I'm pg - not really got any symptoms at all, and we'd have had to be incredibly lucky. Still, will POAS two weeks on Sunday to be sure if no AF by then.

Just wish work wasn't stressing me out too - I'm exhausted with all the anxiety this week.

Thanks kitten don't know what I'd do without all my lovelies :)
I know I've got no right to whinge when I'm only 7ish cycles in (we started TTC just after FW and while things were settling we were missing FW for a cycle or two) I've just never noticed how long a month is!

MrsKittenPie · 07/10/2015 21:21

prty - I know what you mean - it is hard to keep going sometimes but that's the beauty of your lovely thread, we're all here to support each other. I feel like I'll be the only one left on this thread as I think I've been ttc the longest here so my chances are getting lower. You'll be fine though lovely and your bfp could be waiting for you this weekend x
