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

That's a good sign neetie - I'm keeping everything crossed for you

hippybird · 16/01/2016 11:40

Ooh kitten! On tenter hooks here!! Neetie fingers crossed that swab stays clear!

neetie1 · 16/01/2016 10:57

Well just swabbed as I was getting a bit stressed and totally clear not a sign of brown/red...quite a few days to go though.

MrsKittenPie · 16/01/2016 10:54

Thank you again everyone/ you're keeping me slightly sane Smile. I'm cd29, am 26-30 days usually but have had no spotting at all which never happens - normally get that 2/3 days before. Frer is purchased, will be home soon

MrsFlowers82 · 16/01/2016 09:46

I'm so excited for you Kitten!! Keeping everything crossed. Update us all immediately!

Oh Neetie, you've had a right old time of it lately. Hugs. I am crossing all for you that AF stays away. Try and keep busy today and do something fun to take your mind off it all. We are here if you need to moan xxxx

MrsKittenPie · 16/01/2016 09:44

neetie - thank you. Cramps might not be a bad thing lovely. It could mean good things are happening. Is test date next week?

neetie1 · 16/01/2016 09:36

Fingers crossed kitten. I woke in the night to quite bad cramps so now worried that af is coming. Was kinda hoping after the symptoms I've been having it was our lucky month even DH was talying about little baby Lawrence now am not so sure. Plus if af does come am even more worried about why I had those symptoms and thinking it's something more sinister Sad

MrsKittenPie · 16/01/2016 09:12

Grin mrs I'm going to get one!!!

MrsFlowers82 · 16/01/2016 09:07

KITTEN GET A FRER!!!

MrsKittenPie · 16/01/2016 08:53

And I still haven't found those digital tests I hid from myself during a crazy moment a few months ago Confused, I've looked everywhere for them!

MrsKittenPie · 16/01/2016 08:49

hippy - that does sound like a high temp! It sounds very promising. When is test date?

MrsKittenPie · 16/01/2016 08:47

Thanks ladies - you've just made me cry, you're all so lovely xxx
I don't know whether to get a first response or not, I don't know whether to believe it. I'm a complete mess

glitterpoppy · 16/01/2016 08:46

I see it kitten!! Yes try another test and see if it's darker.. I'm excited x

hippybird · 16/01/2016 08:45

Ack!! Still a long one! Blush

hippybird · 16/01/2016 08:44

And hi everyone! I won't respond to everyone's current affairs, or it will turn into an epic hippybird post Hmm, but I do want to send love and hugs to Bex! I can't imagine what you must be going through, and I've been thinking of you! Xx
Everyone else, I've been following you all closely and hoping those cramps are a good sign, that you've DTDd at the right time... Fingers crossed for all of you!
My news is that after my extra long Christmas cycle, I had a visit from AF on day 30, about 5 days late. TBH we hadn't done the deed enough at the right time for me to hold out much hope anyway, but as we had done it once I think, there was always the possibility. Ah well... This cycle has been an odd one. My temps have been very high, after period, and pre ovulation I was at 36.9, and after ovulating on CD10, like clockwork (always day 10!), they've gone up to 37.2! Does that seem very highly to you tempers out there?? And I've been very crampy. Anyway, now i'm in the dreaded TWW and already convincing myself I'm preggers! I do feel...different...to normal... TBC...

MrsFlowers82 · 16/01/2016 08:41

OMG!!!!!! Grin

MrsKittenPie · 16/01/2016 07:50

MrsKittenPie · 16/01/2016 07:47

MrsKittenPie · 16/01/2016 07:44

Morning ladies. I've had a faint line on a superdrug test this morning. It won't photograph well but it came up instantly although very very faint. I'm not getting excited because of last month's fiasco when af appeared shortly after but I'm stunned to see a line. I'm not telling anyone in real life yet, not even dh, I'm that cautious and don't believe it. Just needed to share x

Thanks lovelies, I'm okay...ish, it's another 'we weren't even trying' one and I had to pretend I knew nothing about working out when she might have conceived or if every single little thing she is feeling is a symptom (sigh)
