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/2480630-So-its-John-Wayne-vs-Les-Dawson-in-The-Great-British-Pee-Off-and-Prtys-judging-get-ready-to-be-basted-lovelies?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

Yeah it was glitter although now the good news glow has faded and am back to worrying about what else could be stopping us conceiving.

glitterpoppy · 24/02/2016 07:25

Ahh thanks ladies.. I know you're all right, I'm just stressing.

Good news about the sperm sample snowy my DH still has his to do!

glitter I don't know how I missed your post. Try not to worry, you will be getting the right help regardless of what the results say, lovely x

That's brill snowy! Good for him!

Poppy I think that if it is more than PCOS then at least you will know and can do something about it. Ive come to think that the not knowing part is the worst! Hopefully all your other tests will be fine though and you're worrying for nothing!

snowy1982 · 23/02/2016 19:44

He is strutting around with a big grin on his face Grin

That's good news snowy I bet he was very proud haha!
I'm going symptom crazy, ladies!! Getting a pain under my bum cheeks, at the top of my legs... very weird!!

Well DH got his results today and it's all good. Apparently his swimmers are in the top 4% for 'swimming strength' (his words not mine), his count is slightly on the low side but still within normal range. Have to wait for referral now for further investigations for me, but so far it's all been positive

snowy1982 · 23/02/2016 10:00

glitter i am one of those people myself, i have contingency plans for every eventuality already in place

glitterpoppy · 23/02/2016 08:36

Thanks prty and pirsy I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you guys this month.. We're definitely due a BFP on this thread!

Still feel awful today, I think i feel so bad as its a forced AF and as its been so long. I'm going into work late today as calling at hospital for CD2 bloods. I've also got my X-ray booked in for Monday.. Glad it's all actually happening and at least it's progress although feel really nervous too. What if it's more than PCOS? I'm not sure how I'd cope with anything else... Yes I'm one of those people who worries about everything before it's happened!! Confused

Pirsy1 · 23/02/2016 08:18

Snowy I know the disappointment ... even when you know AF is coming there's still a tiny part that keeps hoping. Fingers crossed for your DH's results today.

Poppy Im glad that your investigations are getting going now - that is a positive thing. Hope AF goes soon.

Prty this sounds promising. I will quietly get excited on your behalf. We are due a BFP!

Gonna take pups for a big long walk to burn off my disappointment and frustration, then I will be snuggling. DH should be getting his results tomorrow so at least things are still moving

Awww sorry snowy grab yourself a pizza and a blanket and get snuggled!

snowy1982 · 22/02/2016 17:55

Well that's me officially out this cycle Sad It's amazing how even though I have been saying to DH since Saturday that AF was on the way I am still gutted. Away for some puppy snuggles to try and cheer myself up

Really pleased things are getting moving for you glitter though not that you're suffering :(

I have a 10 month old puppy at the minute.. He makes me smile when all this TTC gets difficult!

AF is in full force today.. Feel like I've been run over but just glad it's finally here and I can hopefully start to get things on track! Bloods tomorrow, also phoned to book in my X-ray but they've got to phone me back with an appointment!

snowy1982 · 22/02/2016 11:17

Pirsy oh a puppy yeah Grin I have 2 pups and wouldn't be without them

PrtyPsn · 22/02/2016 08:45

AF due around 1st March, this TWW already seems like it's lasted forever!! FXd pirsy keep us updated!!

OP posts:
Pirsy1 · 22/02/2016 08:43

Sounds promising Prty. When is AF due? It will be a hard wait this month!

No Im not out yet ... although we managed to DTD lots in the early part of cycle, when I thought FW was, but not much after because DH was on nights and we've both been exhausted. If I ov'd later than I thought then I think we'll be lucky to get a BFP. Time will tell!

Original poster
PrtyPsn · 22/02/2016 08:22

And congrats on the puppy! I'm staying positive for you too - sometimes it just takes a while for BFPs to show up so you're not out yet!

Don't know pirsy feel a little nauseous this morning, a few twinges too, no idea what to think... the only time I had mid cycle spotting was the cycle which ended in early mc but I feel like I have implantation pains every cycle lol!

OP posts:
Pirsy1 · 22/02/2016 08:16

Prty do you think it might be implantation? I really hope so.

Last month I had a really short cycle (25 days) and now Im day 30 this cycle and nothing. I have tested and obvs is negative so just waiting for AF to show! Husband has said he will go to GP now to do his test which is good and we are getting a puppy when we move into our new house.

Had a very very tiny patch of peachy/pink coloured CM this morning... probably in the vein of something you wouldn't notice unless you're TTC!

OP posts:
snowy1982 · 21/02/2016 17:17

Men and their bits, they really can be sensitive about it. The reality is there is more chance that problems are with the woman and not man, but they don't seem to get it. Our doctor send us for tests at the same time (my first set just happened to get done before DH) so at least we are going through it together, think that helps with DH

PrtyPsn · 21/02/2016 17:13

I know what you mean, I was more thinking that he's pretty sensitive and I think he'd find the whole thing a bit upsetting, kinda feel like he's failed or something :( there's two more cycles before it's been a year so FXd we won't get that far
