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

Chart confused me tbh the temp spike was after my so called fertile window but looking back on my chart this is the only month where the temp isnt all over the place..

snowy1982 · 22/01/2016 19:57

I know, but it's feeling particularly AF like, although then again I have no idea what PG would actually feel like. Oh well, time will tell

Don't forget snowy there's a huge crossover between AF and pg symptoms, hang in there, lovely x

Sitting here getting very angry with my very likely potential AF symptoms. Blood test results show I did ovulate this cycle and we DTD numerous times in FW. GRRRR

snowy1982 · 22/01/2016 19:05

Exactly hippy nothing I can do now but wait and see

hippybird · 22/01/2016 19:03

Hi Neetie! Your chart has uploaded... If the spike is when you ovulated, then you should theoretically be due for AF 14 days after that.
My temps are so high though. I was 36.9 before ovulation, and have gone up to around 37.1-2 after (if indeed I did ovulate). From what I've read, that's pretty high for pre-ovulation temps. Neetie, what did you want me to look at with your chart? I'll do my best!

prty and Snowy I missed your posts somehow. Thanks for the replies! Snowy I know just what you mean. I've been really hormonal today, and my tummy is all crampy and bloating, which is a sure sign. Oh well, as I always say. Time will tell!

neetie1 · 22/01/2016 18:53

Your chart looks similar temps to mine.. how did you get your chart to post tried to do mine and it wouldn't had to take a pic of it

neetie1 · 22/01/2016 18:50

Here it is

neetie1 · 22/01/2016 18:47

Grr can't seem to get my chart loaded am sure i have before

hippybird · 22/01/2016 18:46

Ahh, thanks Flowers! It is strange AF is so late... There may still be a chance that it's just not showing yet.
Neetie, ooh, well keep us updated. And I'd like to see you're chart. What do you think about the high temps at the beginning?

snowy1982 · 22/01/2016 18:46

Can't give advice on temping either, have always had very regular cycles and my app count and OPK results always match, but if no luck soon I think I will start temping as well.

Starting to feel a bit AFish this evening Sad it would be a first for me to be showing AF signs this early, am DBAFD4 and have never had signs of it until the DBAFD1, but it definitely feels imminent this evening

Nothing to add sorry hippy because I don't temp but I had to chuckle at the length of the post, always makes me smile!

MrsFlowers82 · 22/01/2016 18:40

Hippy don't be silly! We are all in this together!

I don't know much about temping I'm afraid so I can't give any useful feedback!

No change over here. Also going to test again Sunday if no sign of AF. Pretty sure I am not PG. Just getting frustrated as to why my cycle is so late.

neetie1 · 22/01/2016 18:36

hippy i have been at 36.6 for days with no dip. i tested temp late today had gone outside etc to sort dogs out so by the time i did test it was 36.0. Will post my chart in a sec...
Still no sign of anything happening with me going to test again sunday if no sign

Hi everyone!

snowy and prty - can I join you in the DBAFD wait madness?? I'm on BDAFD 3-4, depending on when AF makes an appearance. She could show her face any day now really, I've had them any day from now before (currently CD 21), but she usually appears day 24 or 5. Makes sense, as I'm pretty sure I ovulate on day 10.

Flowers and Kitten I hope you don't think I was joining in the "hey...relax guys" brigade! I'm totally there with you. You relax, you don't, you chart, you don't, there's no rhyme nor reason to it, and that's what's so hard about it...

Can I ask you guys' advice? I'm going to post a pic of this week's chart. Could you take a look and let me know what you think... A few questions... Q1 - do you think I could produce healthy eggs with my temps so high at the beginning? As you can see, my temps only just dropped slightly on CD7. Q2 - Do you think it looks like I ovulated on CD 10? There is a slight shift, and that is the day I normally do. Q3 - Do you think that looks like it could be an implantation dip on CD19?

Thanks so much! Trying not to get my hopes up, and just go with it. Have been quite cramps this cycle in general, but especially around ovulation and around the "dip". And I don't know if it was my imagination, but I put a pad in on the day I had the dip, as I thought I was about to start, but nothing happened, but there was the faintest of tingles on the pad. More than discharge or dark wee! It really did seem a bit pink...

Soz soz soz for the long post!
Xx

snowy1982 · 22/01/2016 13:29

Well i was trying to be a good girl and not symptom spot, but then on Wednesday DBAFD6 I have some cramping - in run up to AF I usually only get cramping the day before it arrives so it wasn't exactly normal behaviour for my body, but then its definitely not enough to give any confidence about anything. Nothing at all since Wed so i am know trying to be all calm and zen like about it and wait to see what Tuesday brings

snowy1982 · 22/01/2016 13:06

PrtyPsn · 22/01/2016 12:43

Sorry snowy we've made up a bit of our own lingo! Because I'm never sure if I Ov or when exactly, then instead of counting dpo I count Days Before AF Due :)

OP posts:
MrsFlowers82 · 22/01/2016 12:01

Bloods back. Made an app for Monday morning which will also be good if bloody AF still isn't here by then!!

snowy1982 · 22/01/2016 11:58

Sorry, what exactly is DBAFD7 Prty?

Its made my day too, obviously still a lot of other tests to go through but good news is still good news and when it come to TTC even the small victories are worth celebrating Smile

So, just rang the doctors as i had some other blood test results to get (I have coeliac so was getting my annual work up) and receptionist also slipped in that my Day 3 and Day 21 bloods were normal Grin My face actually does look like that right now

neetie1 · 22/01/2016 10:37

I had pinkish/red spotting on paper a few days ago but that was it nothing else
