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 been once and they said they won't do anything until we have been trying for a year...

Yay pantz mega pleased!!!
neetie I've only been trying about 9/10 months, it's really not that long in the grand scheme of things. If you're really concerned then why don't you and OH see the doc together?

It's been about 10 months now but seems longer. Not helped by fact sister is pregnant (she already has two teenage sons) and she has always seemed to get what I really want.

I just had a good cry and my two wonderful labs were all over me showering me with kisses.

Feefeefs · 30/12/2015 14:07

Sorry your feeling so low neetie. It's a hard time of year.

Get reading some of the positive stories! How long have you been trying?

Also funny cat or puppy videos really help to get me out of particularly low moments I know it seems silly but a distraction can help.

neetie1 · 30/12/2015 13:27

Right guys need your help to get me out of a really low spot. Just feeling really down today, feel like we have tried everything and nothing is working. Really worried now that maybe one of us can't actually have children or something like that. Reading far too many stories of the low chances of over 40's having first children and generally feel like rolling in a ball and sobbing.

Feefeefs · 30/12/2015 10:18

Congrats pantz hope some of your luck rubs off on me for tomorrow. Still having loads of PMS type symptoms and insomnia but no AF yet

BaggyPantz · 30/12/2015 09:00

Thanks guys! That bleed the other day really threw me. So used to AF arriving that it didn't cross my mind that it could be IB, until I realised it was short lived.

OH wanted me to do another, so here you go...

Pirsy1 · 30/12/2015 08:46

I can see it too! Maybe a frer tomorrow?! Should come up strong on that! Congrats Pantz! Grin

OP posts:
Feefeefs · 30/12/2015 08:15

I think I can see one baggypamtz!! I managed to resist this morning definitely POAS tomorrow!!

May a fancy digital one for you tomorrow???

BaggyPantz · 30/12/2015 08:02

I have zero self control. AF due tomorrow. Faint line, or complete hallucination?!

Yes neetie go to docs if it continues. It may just be a different af this time - mine does that to me all the time - sometimes light, sometimes heavy, short cycles, long cycles - drives me crazy. The only consistent thing is I don't get pregnant any month.
I agree with fee - it's so hard to be happy for others sometimes - there's a baby bomb heading my way in January by friends - I should be happy for them but it's damn hard

neetie1 · 29/12/2015 18:21

Well am still cramping and occasionally feeling sick.... If cramps continue once bleeding stops will go to docs ..This is really odd. Even did an Internet cheapie which of course was BFN but didn't do it first thing.

Thanks all, pretty crappy new year for me! fee I'm not offended at all - just figured you probably missed that since it was quite a few threads ago! Becks Blue for me tonight :(

Feefeefs · 29/12/2015 17:51

Sorry prty didn't mean to be insensitive, well done you staying off it. A good rom com and a relax on the sofa with a hot water bottle is always good.

Sorry to hear that neetie1 we will all get our turn. Hard to be happy for others sometimes

MrsKittenPie · 29/12/2015 17:41

prty - so sorry lovely Sad. 2016 will be our year for bfp xx
neetie - big hugs to you too - stuff like that really gets to me, but we will get our turn, keep believing x

neetie1 · 29/12/2015 17:22

Sorry to hear prty...
Just off phone to my mum apparently at eight weeks my sis is quite big already so is paying for a scan on thurs to check what is going on. Will be just my feckin luck if she is having more than one...feel like having a big cry :(

BaggyPantz · 29/12/2015 17:13

Oh no prty that's rubbish. So sorry to hear CakeSad

Pirsy1 · 29/12/2015 16:59

PrtyPsn · 29/12/2015 16:03

First toilet stop of the day... AF is here :(

OP posts:
Pirsy1 · 29/12/2015 12:12

Prty Im excited! Please keep us updated! Are you obsessively wiping?! I kept going to the loo yesterday for a little wipe!

Pantz and Fee Ive got everything crossed for you too!

Work is a good distraction, although I do feel a bit like a zombie today. X

Feefeefs · 29/12/2015 11:03

I have done the same odd glass here and there would stop to but afraid to jump the gun and avoid completely and then have to face endless questioning from PIL. We are going to DH parents house for a party which is usually fairly sedate. MIL absolutely dying for a grandchild and I can't deal with her excitement if then get AF!

neetie1 · 29/12/2015 11:02

No idea what is happening with my body day 5 of cycle and still cramping , worst in morning, boobs ok I guess but slight feeling sick. Flow has slowed right down so....
