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

Hi, please can I join you? I am ttc my second and this is my fifth cycle. I have just started the 2ww and am trying to distract myself from thinking it is ok to start POAS at 3dpo...

Well, I'm definitely into the TWW now, app says DBAFD 11... not sure what to think due to the erratic CM this month, not feeling particularly hopeful

Thanks glitter. Bet that is driving you mad, glad you've got your appointment through though

glitterpoppy · 17/01/2016 14:48

Oh shary so sorry to hear that, I've just caught up and so upset for you!

kitten that's awful too... Eat lots of chocolate and indulge today!

Ice finally received my gynae appointment through for the 8th Feb.. I can't wait to go and try and get a handle on this PCOS. I'm on CD117 now, I've also had the flashing smiley face on the CB digital for the last 2 weeks, awaiting the static smiley but starting to wonder if it'll ever come....

MrsKittenPie · 17/01/2016 14:08

Thanks prty - that's exactly what I'm doing now... Lots of chocolate Sad

Thanks hippy - means a lot when I'm feeling like this. I'm categorically not testing next month, can't go through that again, and will save myself a fortune too. Xxx

neetie1 · 17/01/2016 11:45

Oh me too but trying to not get too excited. Seem to have lots of CM and cervix (checked on advice of sister) if fairly high and soft..

hippybird · 17/01/2016 11:44

kitten please don't think for a minute that we think you're an idiot! That's the beauty of this place - all our minds are playing tricks on us too!! And I would have jumped to exactly the same conclusion and posted pics too! Hugs to you and positive energy for next cycle! Xxx

MrsKittenPie · 17/01/2016 11:27

Thanks neetie. Hoping those cramps mean implantation for you, fingers crossed

MrsFlowers82 · 17/01/2016 11:27

You are NOT an idiot Kitten. It could happen to any of us. This TTC lark drives you crazy. Hope you can chill out today lovely. Big hugs xxx

neetie1 · 17/01/2016 11:23

Not stupid at all kitten our bodies play horrible tricks on us big hugs

MrsKittenPie · 17/01/2016 11:21

Thanks for asking mrs - af is here - heavy blood. Totally gutted - that's 2 months running that has happened- feel so so stupid for posting pics and getting excited. I'm an idiot

hippybird · 17/01/2016 11:01

Hi Shary! I'm so sorry for you! Flowers
As everyone says, I know there's nothing we can do, but we're all here for you if you need a place of refuge...

MrsFlowers82 · 17/01/2016 11:01

Keeping all crossed for you Neetie - sounds promising!

How are you feeling today Shary? I have been thinking about you. I hope you managed to get some sleep and can take it easy today ️xxX

Any news Kitten?

neetie1 · 17/01/2016 10:57

So sorry shary

Had very odd morning here, woke to horrendous cramps a little like yesterday, convinced af was here but when I wiped and then swabbed nothing , clear as a bell. They have now dulled down to a niggle...

MrsKittenPie · 16/01/2016 18:38

shary - am totally heartbroken for you. Please know that we are all here for you and thinking of you xxxx

MrsFlowers82 · 16/01/2016 16:19

I'm so sorry to hear that Shary. I can only echo what Prty said, we are all here for you if you need us. Sending you much love and hugs x Flowers x Flowers x Flowers x Flowers x

Oh shary I'm so sorry to hear that, lovely xx there are very little words of comfort I can offer you on the loss of your little ones but know that we are all here for you xx

I've not posted here much recently but I have been keeping up with you all.
I'm devastated to say I had a private reassurance scan today and found out I've had a missed miscarriage. It was twins. Totally heartbroken.

MrsKittenPie · 16/01/2016 12:22

hippy - yes I've got one for tomorrow morning. I'm not sure about the thing about the temps but your symptoms certainly sound promising x

hippybird · 16/01/2016 12:11

Hi kitten - yes, that test from this morning does have promise! Do you have another frer for tomorrow morning?

flowers keeping my fingers crossed for you!

I'm not thinking high temps might indicate pregnancy, was more worried that high temps in follicular phase might not be a good fertility sign. Does anyone know about this?

On the phantom preg symptoms, I've got sore nipples (not to the touch, more like throbbing), have been feeling nauseous, very tired, and have been getting really bad sciatica (I know that's not a symptom, but, well...) Anyway, only time will tell!
I'd appreciate any advice on temps if any of you know about that sort of thing... X

MrsKittenPie · 16/01/2016 12:02

mrs you're definitely not out yet lovely. Thank you - I'm not sure what to think now but that test from this morning is keeping me going!

MrsFlowers82 · 16/01/2016 11:51

I am keeping everything crossed for you Kitten!!!

Still got weird rib stitch going on but also getting some AF style niggles. CM has also dried up so I think I'm out Sad

MrsKittenPie · 16/01/2016 11:47

Well there doesn't seem to be much on the frer, possibly a real squinter that won't photograph. I'm not too down - it's not fmu and the superdrug one with fmu was so faint even with fmu. It's a waiting game til tomorrow I guess, unless af shows up first
