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

Thanks lovely xxx I know you ladies get it. I am currently on the verge on tears and planning on going home in a bit to have a nap and avoid anyone who can talk about babies to me... Why couldn't sodding spotting start before I'd bought those tests! Finally got my hopes up and didn't even get to use 'em! I am ignoring all signals from now on until my period is at least a week late. Stupid symptom spotting never amounts to anything and clearly my body enjoys playing tricks on me so that it never makes sense and just drives me even more loopy!

Will have to go for second lot of blood tests when AF properly kicks in and get first round results back on Thursday, however now thinking they will need to be done again as clearly everything is late this month. Stupid crazy bodies Sad Angry Sad

MrsKittenPie · 20/01/2016 11:27

mrs - please don't feel like a dick, it was perfectly natural to get excited. We are all here for you and know exactly what you're going through. I'm on countdown waiting for another colleague to shove a scan pic in my face soon, it's so bloody obvious. People are so insensitive. Big hugs. I had those plans too at the weekend and felt stupid too but please don't - embarrassingly I'd looked up my due date and planned my mat leave after my (fake) bfp at the weekend Blush, it is heartbreaking. Vent away here though - I do!

MrsFlowers82 · 20/01/2016 10:33

Feel like a dick. Finally started to believe it actually could be this morning, even had a fantasy plan about how I would tell OH tonight. Feel as though it serves me right for getting carried away.

Aww flowers why is Mother Nature so cruel?! Take comfort in that you're not alone - every time I get a BFN AF starts hours later :/
As for the colleague, why are people so insensitive?

And I have just had a photo of a new born baby shoved in my face by a colleague who has just become an aunt! I swear you could not make my life up! Feel a major wobble coming on... Feel a fake migrane coming on so I can go home early... Sad

MrsFlowers82 · 20/01/2016 10:05

Woke up and nothing so just went and bought a FRER… Got back and spotting has started Sad

MrsKittenPie · 20/01/2016 09:06

neetie - sorry to hear of brown tinge, hopefully it's nothing.
hippy - today might be your implantation dip? Fingers crossed it goes back up tomorrow

neetie1 · 20/01/2016 08:14

My temp is still constant at 36 and still having lots of clear CM

hippybird · 20/01/2016 06:59

Oh no, sorry neetie!
I've had massive temp drop this morning, so unless this is a true implantation dip (the one I thought was before was only a small dip), it must be AF on her way. 6 days early. Although I have had a period start on CD19 before. But only once in over a year. I'm really beginning to think there's something not right with my hormones now. Am going to speak to the doctor!

neetie1 · 20/01/2016 06:43

Mmmm not sure if I've got too excited too early. . After feeling dizzy yesterday especially
Today heartbeat was 76 and swab was lighting brown tinge Sad hope this isn't her coming late day 27 today

mrs - that sounds like a blissful evening - I want crumpets and tea now Smile. Keep positive lovely, I am for you too. Are you thinking of testing tomorrow if no af?

MrsFlowers82 · 19/01/2016 21:03

Sorry Glitter Chocolate Cake Brew

Kitten - not feeling too confident tonight. Still getting AF twinges and am absolutely ravenous which is always a sign that The Bitch is on her way... Curled up in bed with a massive stack of crumpets, tea and tele. Guess I just have to see what tomorrow brings.

MrsKittenPie · 19/01/2016 20:14

glitter - sorry about the babybomb Sad. Lots of Chocolate for you. Yes, yes, yes - I feel like that too. Am so sick of hearing of how easy it is for everyone else to get pregnant.
mrs - I'm dying for you to take a test! When are you going to test? Keep us updated Smile
hippy - sounds promising for you too, and prty

glitterpoppy · 19/01/2016 19:31

P.s thanks for the hot chocolate prty BrewChocolate

glitterpoppy · 19/01/2016 19:30

'Me' I feel like that.. How does everyone else seem to get pregnant so easily! Feeling very sad tonight.. DH just asked me if I'd heard the news about our friends.. Answered a quick yes as worried my eyes were going to fill up!!

Waahh hippy I've got that 'gonna start' kinda feeling, can't really put my finger on it completely - the cramps last night, tender boobs (not really sore but achy) twinging lower back pain... weird

OP posts:
hippybird · 19/01/2016 14:00

Gosh! It's all happening here! Maybe this will be a good month for all of us!!
I'm definitely having a weird cycle. I thought I had ov'd on CD10, which seems to be my regular day, as I had a dip, then a rise. And then later I had all these weird symptoms - really sore throbbing boobs, headache, cramps, all quite like symptoms I've had when I'm ovulating, except these were all after day 10/ovulation. Then I had that dip yesterday, which I thought meant I hadn't ovulated after all. But as it's up again today, I'm hoping, not even daring to hope, that it could have been an implantation dip... And today I really feel like my period's about to come, but I'm not due for 7 days. Just have cramps like I'm about to get my period, and you know when you feel kind of warm down 'there'. It's very odd! Really trying not to get my hopes up!! But you can't help it a bit, can you!?
Please keep us updated flowers. Hugs!
neetie when are you due? Seems hopeful - good luck!
prty that sounds promising!! Crossing my fingers tightly for you!!

MrsFlowers82 · 19/01/2016 13:19

I am currently doing hourly toilet trips... Have swabbed so much I am surprised I am not raw... Still nothing. CM is milky. No other pains or symptoms. Keep thinking I feel minor twinges in thighs and sides… Going slightly crazy! Dare not hope too much... Today is CD33, have never not spotted by now and usually full flow kicks in today... But as I say I dare not even dream - I can’t face the crushing disappointment of YET AGAIN seeing that empty white space where a line should be… Feel AF is going to kick in any time now and put a stop to my madness Sad

neetie1 · 19/01/2016 10:33

Lol hippy in that case it's still 81 ..
Still all clear on the swab front

PrtyPsn · 19/01/2016 09:33

Just looked back at my cycles, the only other time I've had suspected implantation cramps was 12 days before I had my positive(ish) test then bleeding...

hippy around 10 days til I'm due according to app but CM indicated I may have Ov early this month - going by that I'm due in about 7 days. I'm absolutely fine now, it only lasted a few hours :/

OP posts:
FuzzyOwl · 19/01/2016 09:19

Likewise hippy and good to have a cycle buddy. My cycles are usually 31 to 35 days long, but are always unpredictable. Hopefully for all of us we won't be trying for long.
