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

Awww sorry pirsy Sad

Cd70 here and still nothing, just booked an appointment at the doctors for in the morning as I'm starting to get myself stressed out which is probably making things worse! DH can't come with me as he's working nights so going solo, feel slightly nervous Confused

Pirsy1 · 01/12/2015 10:08

So was going to test yesterday then noticed a slight brown tinge on wiping so decided AF was on its way and not to bother. Then after that nothing more again or when I woke up. Told DH I def think I'm pregnant and that he needs to take me out to get a test when he comes back from his appointment (we're away on holidays). Just went to the loo and more definite brown so think I'm out now and this is the start of AF. I'd worked my due date out and everything!

neetie1 · 30/11/2015 19:09

Temp went down slightly today, day 22 of cycle no cramping and nothing when I swab so waiting and seeing af due Sat.

Pirsy1 · 30/11/2015 12:18

Prty I think you 100% deserve a glass of champagne/prosecco/mulled wine/vodka/gin at Christmas.

No AF here yet. Got my positive OPK two weeks ago today so it might be coming tomorrow. I have horrible wind - can't stop burping - which is making me feel nauseous but otherwise am fine. Will pick up a test today.

pinky I think they must all be getting their AFs this weekend!! How's things going with you?
I think, lovelies, my self imposed soberism (is that a word?!) might lapse over Christmas... 9 months without a drink and I'm running out of excuses to friends and family! Also, I feel like I bloody deserve one!

neetie1 · 29/11/2015 22:59

...and there is now chocolate baileys 😄😍😜

pinky17 · 29/11/2015 22:56

Hi all! Just to say i'm still spying :-) Irrelevant to the thread but needed to vent by saying my husband has be an A1 dick this weekend too! Urgh, must be something in the air! Good luck everyone POAS between now and Christmas, if no BFPs at least there's Baileys and mulled wine to be devoured! Xxx

MrsKittenPie · 29/11/2015 20:03

pirsy - I'm excited for you! What day will you be testing then? - I really hope there's a bfp for you Grin Although sorry to hear you're not having a nice time tonight.
prty - sorry you're having a shitty time too - men really do not realise when they are being dicks. You can definitely always rely on chocolate though. Have a rant on here if it would help x

PrtyPsn · 29/11/2015 19:51

How is it possible they can be absolute dicks and not even realise?! He better pull his socks up in time for ovulation :/ wish I had a big enough house to sit in separate rooms.
I feel chocolate will comfort us where men have failed

Prty poor you - that sounds like a horrible weekend. My OH is also being a torture - we're sitting in separate rooms - definitely not wedded bliss right now.

PrtyPsn · 29/11/2015 16:43

pirsy not really, it's my heaviest AF for months, boiler packed in so no heating or hot water and OH is just being an annoying knob by breathing (sigh)
It's not over til she's here pirsy you never know!

Pirsy1 · 29/11/2015 15:34

Prty hope you are having a good relaxing weekend after Friday!

Neetie I am keeping my fingers crossed that you are in the 23%.

I am setting myself up for a big disappointment. I think AF is due tomorrow or maybe Tuesday. I have convinced myself I am pregnant. Not really got any symptoms but don't particularly feel like AF is imminent either. Last tested on Wednesday at 8/9 dpo on IC which was neg. Not tested since as on holiday and didn't bring any tests with me. If no AF when I wake up tomorrow I will buy one!

MummyBex1985 · 29/11/2015 14:06

Ooh I didn't realise that (I've never tried temping though). The statistics are definitely in your favour!!

neetie1 · 29/11/2015 09:11

bex more than likely it's the first month I have temped and it's fascinating. Today my temp went back up and slightly higher to 36.8.
Apparently there was a study done and it looked and lots of women's temp charts. 66% didn't have any temp dip, of those that did 23% were pregnant and only 11% were not. Knowing my luck am in the 11% but will keep temping just to see am now 9dbafd.

MummyBex1985 · 28/11/2015 21:47

Neetie are you obsessing? Grin

FX for you!

I think I must be in the 2ww now, sore boobs have kicked in which usually happens post OV. Haven't really DTD that much but think we managed it day before and day of OV (same as every month lol) so could be in with a shot.

This thread really is in desperate need of some BFPs, just in time for Christmas!! [santa]

neetie1 · 28/11/2015 10:49

Mmm just read there is such a thing as implantation dip of temp ......

neetie1 · 28/11/2015 10:10

This is my chart today the three days sustained temp is I'm guessing ovulation as that's when app said it was as well.

So it's John Wayne vs Les Dawson in The Great British Pee Off and Prty's judging... get ready to be basted, lovelies!
neetie1 · 28/11/2015 10:01

Mmm so much for the excitement of a temp rise back down to 36.2 today.... :( this TTC is so disheartening sometimes

SharyBobbins · 27/11/2015 19:26

Prty what a crappy Friday Sad Hope you've got some Wine and Chocolate.

Kitten apparently you need a BMI of at least 19 to have IVF. Mine is 18.5. She told me not to diet but I don't, I eat well. I don't think the nurse believed me though Hmm

I got took well and truely by surprise yesterday by getting a +ve opk. Had another positive today. I've never ovulated that early (CD23) I think the doctor must have poked my ovary during the internal exam or something!

Pirsy OH isn't too impressed that he's got to do another SA but it's because the hospital were under now isn't our local one which is where the GP sent his first SA Confused

PrtyPsn · 27/11/2015 14:57

Yeah, I escaped to the loo for a breather only to find AF decided to join me :( what a fucking Friday!

OP posts:
Pirsy1 · 27/11/2015 14:24

Prty really sorry about the baby bomb. Can you escape for lunch to get away from it?!

Shary it sounds like your appointment was really productive. My husband needs to do a SA too at the GP. I think he is a bit scared of it in case it shows up a problem.

Poppy I hope AF is coming and then you can move forward with a new cycle.

MrsKittenPie · 27/11/2015 13:57

prty - sorry for baby bomb, urgh that sounds horrendous walking into that - hope you can escape. Are you going to test?

PrtyPsn · 27/11/2015 11:03

Weird, the spitting only seems to appear in the evening then disappears during the day Confused get a browny type smear on wiping early evening, a little before bed but by the morning there's nothing...

OP posts:
glitterpoppy · 27/11/2015 07:30

I've only been temping afew days but mine has dropped down to 34.91 this morning.. For the first time ever I'm hoping AF is on its way... Shock
