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 know exactly what you mean bex if we had been lucky in my first cycle (stupid naivety we all have when first starting TTC!!) then I'd be due around now :( the thought of it becoming a new year soon and still not being pg is pretty hard to swallow

Just catching up.. I was out for date night with the DH last night for the first time in ages, we went to the Christmas markets then onto a champagne bar. Just what I needed!!

Congratulations rose, so excited for you!! Glad to see a BFP on the feed!!!! Xmas Grin

MummyBex1985 · 07/12/2015 07:54

10DPO, 3DBAFD, BFN.

7th proper month now.

I know people here have been trying much longer than that, but meh Sad can't believe I was hoping to be nearing my due date for an event in a couple of months and now I probably won't even be PG.

Woooo hoooo!!! Congrats rose so pleased for you, lovely!!
shary I've had so many dreams like that though last night I dreamt MIL and my boss infiltrated this thread so I had to stop posting in case they worked out it was me!!

SharyBobbins · 07/12/2015 07:41

Actually does dreaming about having a perfect little baby in your arms whilst surrounded by OH, my parents & PIL count as a symptom?! That's what I dreamt about last night and it was lovely. Talk about minds playing tricks!! Xmas Sad

SharyBobbins · 07/12/2015 07:30

Congratulations Rose that's fab news! Keep us up to date with how you're getting on!

11dpo for me, no "symptoms" other than sore boobs which I always get before AF anyway! Just waiting for AF to arrive so I can call the hospital & book my scan Xmas Confused

BittersweetRose · 07/12/2015 07:13

Of course - TTC#1, cycle 3, age 30

Pirsy1 · 06/12/2015 22:51

Congratulations Rose!!! So brilliant to see a BFP and coming up to Christmas too Xmas Smile

Hope you have a great 9 months.

Will you remind us of your stats?!

BittersweetRose · 06/12/2015 22:28

Well, you wished for one of us to get a BFP! That's definitely a BFP, right!

I wouldn't say I'm excited, per se, but I'm definitely pleased that I've not been imagining the nausea/ heartburn feelings for the last few days.

I'm not sure we did anything special - just DTD every two days. Temping really helped - gave me a feeling of control and helped us to be sure of our timing.

Good luck all of you! I hope you all have success soon! (Although the nausea is a very mixed blessing...)

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

I will be CD10 on Friday which is also my birthday ... and we will be starting 'The Schedule' - basically EOD for as long as we can manage it!

PrtyPsn · 06/12/2015 20:58

pirsy CD10 if a predicted 33 day cycle, I normally go between 29 and 32 days so there's some give and take. The great EOD basting has begun though!

Kind of just fed up with everyone else's pregnancies... now full of cold so literally had enough of this last week....hoping this means I will feel better for christmas hold, only two weeks left of term.

Pirsy1 · 06/12/2015 19:12

Ahhhhhh Shary! Hugs ... the disappointment is hard. Where in your 2ww are you?

I was just watching a rubbish reality show. The star's husband thought she might be pregnant because she was exhausted. I got all excited about this woman doing a pregnancy test and then felt jealous when it was positive. I am losing it!

Had a good chat with my sister about TTC last night over a meal and a glass of wine. Felt better for talking about it, I have been feeling scared about the possibility that either DH's SA is abnormal or I have a tubal problem but she made me realise that if there is a problem it is probably better to know so that we can get some help.

Neetie are you feeling better?

Prty where are you in your cycle now?

SharyBobbins · 06/12/2015 08:22

So disappointed! In the TWW & my temps went as high as 37 bloody degrees! Now I'm crashing back towards the coverline Xmas Sad

PrtyPsn · 05/12/2015 17:33

Well, I broke my sobriety last night to have a bottle of wine or two at an unescapable party (no new excuses and it was in a public place so could bring own drinks)
To be honest, it did nothing for me. I used to love getting drunk and even just a casual glass but I wasnt really bothered by it.
Weird.
How's everyone doing?

glitterpoppy · 04/12/2015 20:58

Fingers crossed for you rose

neetie sounds awful, Cake for you!!

I've booked in for my bloods and swabs next Thursday and scans are Friday.. Feel nervous. Didn't realise I'd be having ultra sound belly scan and internal one too. Sorry if I sound a little thick.... Confused

neetie1 · 04/12/2015 17:47

Urgh the bitch is being such a bitch this month loads of painful cramps and when I go to the look it looks like texas chainsaw massacre....

Pirsy1 · 04/12/2015 15:51

Keeping everything crossed for you rose. I'd love to see a BFP.

BittersweetRose · 04/12/2015 15:14

I tested yesterday and BFN, so I'm going to try to restrain myself and wait till Sunday.

MrsKittenPie · 04/12/2015 13:29

rose that looks really promising to me - are you testing tomorrow? Exciting!

BittersweetRose · 04/12/2015 12:30

36.89C, would you believe it?! Lots of CM, no AF, but nothing definitive yet...

MrsKittenPie · 04/12/2015 12:13

neetie - sorry the bitch arrived Sad

MrsKittenPie · 04/12/2015 12:12

rose - how's your temp today? Keeping fingers crossed for you

BittersweetRose · 03/12/2015 12:51

Oh, I'm so sorry everyone is having such a horrible time. I've had two baby bombs in the last few weeks (one at work, one on FB) Sad

I've been temping for a few cycles, and I use Fertility Friend. I've attached this month and last month in case anyone wants to see. I seem to get a pretty perfect low temp and then a clear shift and then a dip before AF. I take my temp at 6:40am every day no matter what.

So far, I'm 10 DPO, and no AF has shown. I had a temp dip yesterday, and so was half expecting AF today, but my temp has gone up again. I was so stressed yesterday, I decided to POAS this morning. BFN, of course, but it's actually made me feel much more relaxed.

The last two weeks I keep thinking that the TWW is like Schrodinger's Cat. It's like you're both pregnant and not pregnant at the same time.

It's still possible I'm PG, as if yesterday's dip is implantation, I won't be producing enough HCG until Saturday or Sunday at the earliest for it to show on a test. My temp certainly seems to be staying high so far.

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