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

Hi everyone, was at work until very late last night so didn't get the chance to catch up on the thread. I also have my baby names all picked out and have spent ages trawling the baby names threads on here! I have tried to stop doing it though because it's not very productive and a bit like torture.

Prty I don't think you're out yet. I'm keeping the faith.

Another Twiglets fan here! Love them and not too calorific either if I remember correctly.

glitterpoppy · 07/10/2015 07:53

Aww tay sounds like your going through it at the minute, hope everything's ok for you!!

Hopefully everything will be fine tay got FX'd for you, lovely x
DBAFD 2, woke up feeling really sick this morning, stomach churning and almost threw up when I coughed too hard :/ and this snotty CM just won't quit!!

Same here really Prty, just talking with DH and we've decided we'll have every test going to see if the chemo meds for my arthritis have stopped all chance, as it was one of the top side effects. But will wait til after the op. Disheartening when everyone seems to be PG too. It will happen for you, I'm sure - but the time it takes is so bloomin' cruel. Even homemade fudge isn't a help at the mo xxx

I know you're right, just having one of those 'it's never gonna happen' days :(

tay13 · 06/10/2015 21:00

You're not out until AF arrives Prty, I had lots of CM when I got pg last year - before I'd found out. I've now got usual pre-AF cramps so thinking I'm def out this month, realistically better now than when I'm having op

Stripes1983 · 06/10/2015 20:24

I feel like by the time I get pg all the names I like will be taken ! Haha prty a OPK as a pg test I don't think is too accurate - plus AF isn't late yet - don't count yourself out yet chicken !

Original poster
PrtyPsn · 06/10/2015 19:53

.... (whistles nonchalantly) not had names picked out for about a year...
Decided to randomly do an OPK cos of CM - negative, just a faint pink line, ok so I was also using it slightly as a pg test too... think I'm out this month

OP posts:
glitterpoppy · 06/10/2015 19:53

I hear ya stripes I think we would be the same!! The original name we liked was taken by one of our friends (how annoying is that?!)

Stripes1983 · 06/10/2015 19:33

poppy I did that the other day , OH & I spent ages talking about how we would pick the name and we would have to start as soon as I get pg as it will take us ages to decide ! :(

glitterpoppy · 06/10/2015 19:20

youandme my facebooks full of that too.. So bloody annoying!

Found myself daydreaming all the way home from work today about what names I want to call my baby.. I almost can't remember the journey home!! Sigh....

Stripes1983 · 06/10/2015 18:22

High five to all my fellow twigletters! sorry to hear about AF arrival pirsy but like you say at least you know where you are now! Fx for impending POASers!

PrtyPsn · 06/10/2015 18:12

That's good to hear pirsy
bex you are still in with a chance, heard of people only DTD on CD10, ovulating CD14 and being pregnant FX'd!
Nice to see you kitten
youandme annoying isn't it?! Part of the reason I ditched Facebook :(
So much fertile looking CM today I thought AF had started early! Looks like someone's sneezed into the toilet paper!

YouAndMeAreGoingToFallOut · 06/10/2015 12:54

Sperm can live for a few days Bex - I'm sure you're not out.

I'm feeling fed up with constant evidence on Facebook of all my friends' fecundity. Baby pictures, scan pictures, bump pictures, statuses reminiscing about when they found out about their pregnancies and how happy/surprised they were. It's never-fucking-ending!

MummyBex1985 · 06/10/2015 11:40

Hi everyone, checking in too after a week away on holiday!

Managed to DTD almost ED this month... Except the day before OV and day of OV. So frustrating.

Someone please tell me I'm not out this month just because of my shitty timing (again) Sad

MrsKittenPie · 06/10/2015 09:26

Hi everyone- late check in on the new thread - fab title prty - sorry I've been away - having serious renovations on the house so am completely stressed out and not with it! I'll read back and catch up later but hope you are all okay and hope we've got some poas action soon!
My news is I've had another weird light spotting instead of af so again no idea of cycle day - I'll go with I'm about cd5. Not bothering with opks this month as totally had enough!

glitterpoppy · 06/10/2015 07:44

Morning everyone, glad the colposcopy was ok for you Pirsy
Although my cycle is all over the place, my ovia app tells me im in the middle of my fertile days.. So I'm running with that. DH also now on days off for the past 3 days so I plan to DTD everyday.

Twiglets also factor high on my rating too.. Yummy!!

Pirsy1 · 06/10/2015 07:34

Hi, colposcopy was ok although I was really anxious about it (don't usually get like that) and felt really emotional all day. Woken up this morning and AF is here so guess it was my hormones making me all weepy! At least I know where I am now and can get on with this cycle soon enough.

PrtyPsn · 06/10/2015 07:19

Oooo tay that's some serious discipline!! FX'd for you!
aindy pahahahahaha you won't be making a baby if you're covering yourself in it!!!
As comfortable as the floor is (thanks moo!) it's time for work!
DBAFD 3, struggled to get up this morning despite going to bed at 10pm last night... that a symptom? I was fairly wiped out and not had much sleep last few nights so probably not. Still with this fertile CM, apart from about 3 days in the middle I've had it the entire TWW!

OP posts:
LittleAindy · 06/10/2015 06:31

Uh, I meant cover your fertile days....the way I worded it just sounds gross Confused

LittleAindy · 06/10/2015 06:30

Oh Neetie sorry to hear that. Why do they time their sperm strikes so perfectly with our fertile windows??! Hopefully you DTD enough to cover yourself anyway. Good luck with the TWW!

themoo · 05/10/2015 23:13

Evening all! Hello newbies and YAY for the BFP!
Prty you bugger I don't snore kicks you out of bed
Awaiting ovulation here so planning a right regular basting, then back to Les Dawsoning lol

PS twiglets are a class A snack in the moo snack rating system.

tay13 · 05/10/2015 22:38

Ooh I've never had a cycle buddy before prty Smile DH and I have agreed to the idea if AF is late we won't test unless it's at least 4 days late... I hate it but it does help a bit with the disappointment sometimes.

neetie1 · 05/10/2015 21:29

Well def in TWW as won't get to DTD tonight as DH has gone off to bed in a horrid mood. Just had shouty/stressy moment so feeling very urghhhhhhh
He hates his job, wants to go back where we used to live and every suggestion I make is wrong..god i did miss him being away but it's more stressful now he is back :(

Stripes1983 · 05/10/2015 21:23

Ahh why does it only show some posts then the minute I post a load more appear and I look like I'm late to the party ! Annnnyway - I'll have the twiglets as I lurrve them! And fx for Saturday testers!! If the bitch hasn't appeared by Friday AM I'll be testing again as got the drs on the night to find out what "fine" blood tests mean !
