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

Have a glass for me too fee glad you can see the positives of AF for this cycle :)
Looks like most of the gang is drying out with me now haha! It's easier than you think, I promise! And once you get so far into sobriety you wonder why you ever bothered with booze to start with (and trust me, I was a 'let's do shots' and still dancing at 4am when I've lost my shoes, kinda girl!)

fee - that's a really good perspective to have, definitely enjoy some Wine. It's good to know your body is back to normal after the pill too

Feefeefs · 02/01/2016 08:14

AF is here! One day late! I'm not too bothered actually tho I think this group is helping me get some perspective on the whole thing plus means body is definitely back to normal after the pill. Excited to get trying again and to have a nice meal and someWine on my birthday.

hippybird · 01/01/2016 22:29

Me too! I'm also going to have a dry January! Good luck everyone!

MrsKittenPie · 01/01/2016 21:05

pirsy - yes I thought it was a good time to give up alcohol too - I've tried everything else on this long ttc journey so may as well try this too Hmm

Pirsy1 · 01/01/2016 20:58

Also I have given up alcohol for Jan too!

Pirsy1 · 01/01/2016 20:56

Hi! Happy New Year Everyone!

Stats:

AF due: 26/01/16

Will be back on the 'schedule' soon!!

MrsKittenPie · 01/01/2016 20:48

hippy - good luck to you as well for testing! Could be a good day for BFPs tomorrow Smile I'm 39 in September- it makes me a bit eek too!

MrsKittenPie · 01/01/2016 20:45

Good luck testing tomorrow fee! Keep us updated

Feefeefs · 01/01/2016 19:32

Name: feefeefs
TTC: #1
Age: 27, 28 in 3 days
Cycle: a bit difficult to say. Was on mini pill stopped November, period after that starting 1st December. Periods every 2 weeks on the minipill so difficult to work out cycles. Previously cycle was around 30-34 days.

Testing due today, AF due today no sign as yet. Very tender boobs and still creamy cm but bfn so far. Couldn't test today as at PIL, will test tomorrow if no AF

hippybird · 01/01/2016 19:11

Hi all! Well here are mine:

Name: hippy
TTC: #2
Age: 38 (39 in March - eek!)
Cycle: a bit difficult to say. No contraception for 17 cycles. But actually trying for 7-8 months maybe. I've been a bit on and off. Had some other cycles trying during the 17 cycles.
Test date: I had a BFN today at about 2pm. But no sign of AF today. Will test again tomorrow. Otherwise, my next test date will be around Jan 27th.

(haha! In typical style, my stats are overly long! Grin)

PrtyPsn · 01/01/2016 16:01

I second that kitten I suck at stuff like that but would be good to see... also wonder if each thread we should all make our first post a stats one?

OP posts:
MrsKittenPie · 01/01/2016 12:38

Happy New Year everyone! 2016 is a new start for us and we will all get our bfps soon Grin
hippy - am getting excited for you! Keep us updated, you could be our first 2016 bfp.
I'm going to try dry January- have basically eaten and drank what I wanted for the last couple of weeks and feel like a detox is needed.
Anyone any good at doing stats spreadsheets? Would be good to see when everyone's test dates will be - I would but I can't do it on my phone Confused

hippybird · 01/01/2016 11:39

Hi all! Happy New Year to you all!! I too wish us all a fertile 2016! I'm so frustrated because there's still no sign of my period, currently day 30, and am normally 25 (ish) day cycle! However, looking back at my cycles for the last few years, I have had the odd 30 or 29 day cycle, plus, we only had sex twice! But i can't help but think, what if... I know I should just do a test, but can't face the glaring white space of the BFN. Sigh! Thinkbi'll test this evening if no sign of AF today.

neetie1 · 01/01/2016 11:17

pantz also tried what you mentioned and DH stayed 'inside' for longer and it was really lovely. we'll gloss over me trying to get the Preseed into the applicator, took a while

neetie1 · 01/01/2016 11:13

Happy New Year all. Off to a great start using Preseed for the first time DH loved it. Have decided not going to stress if I don't get my appointments until Easter hols, am hoping we will have our BFP by then anyway...onwards and upwards.

Happy New Year, my lovelies! 2016 is the year of Prty's Gang, it's gonna be non-stop BFPs!!

OP posts:
SharyBobbins · 31/12/2015 23:27

Neetie glad your appointment went well- that outcome sounds much more positive Smile As long as you can provide medical evidence you should be allowed time off for your blood tests. They have no right to ask you what it's for. If you don't want to tell them you're ttc & they push you just say you're having gynaecological tests. That should shut them up- particularly if it's a man asking Wink

Happy new year everyone xx
