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

Watching One Born Every Minute ... maybe some kind of self torture?!! Its even at my local mat hospital at the moment.

snowy1982 · 22/03/2016 09:24

prty I've no problem with that.

glitter I don't think lack of symptoms at that stage means anything. It is still very early for symptoms to show

Pirsy1 · 22/03/2016 08:09

No I dont mind Prty!

glitterpoppy · 22/03/2016 07:40

Thanks ladies.. My positive thoughts are rapidly decreasing. I keep think surely is have symptoms by now if we'd conceived and I don't have anything at the minute, I just feel normal (ish)

No problem at all *prty, looking forward to seeing your blog! 😁

glitter got my FXd for you! I hate those dreams :/
pirsy hope the SA was enough, it does sound like an ordeal so hopefully he won't have to repeat.
BTW anyone object to me transferring anything said here to the blog? Obviously it's all anonymous and even your MN usernames won't be used. Seems weird to ask since this thread is a public forum anyway but thought I would check!

Sorry about AF snowy! Sounds like a bad day ... hope you're having a good evening.

Husband did his SA on Friday. He was going to do it at home and then drive it up to the hospital. In the end he was running late from work and had to do it there. He thought he wasnt going to be able to manage it but did get something although thinks maybe not a full sample. I hope he doesnt have to do it again because it sounded miserable!

I am feeling pessimistic about this month. Not the right attitude I know! I hope your dream is a premonition Poppy!

glitterpoppy · 21/03/2016 18:44

Oh sorry to hear snowy 😩 Yes I think it's meant to be lucky, maybe it's a sign that next time is your time?!

Halfway through TWW for me.. Had a dream last night I did the POAS and was positive. Was so happy.. It was a lovely feeling. Trying to keep positive thoughts.... 😊

To make a bad day worse... took pups out for a really long walk to try and cheer myself up and got pooped on by a bird, have never seen so much poop come from one bird Angry

Regular as clockwork, again Sad

snowy1982 · 20/03/2016 21:32

We all have those months when FW feels like a chore, just have to try and spice things up a bit when that feeling hits

PrtyPsn · 20/03/2016 18:59

Haha snowy he soon got over it! Though I did see him flinch a little when I mentioned I probably haven't ovulated yet... don't get me wrong, he does want a baby and does love me, I just think nearly a year on its starting to feel a bit of a duty some days.

Thanks prty, will do. Tell DH to man up Grin

PrtyPsn · 20/03/2016 13:01

I'm still thinking positive for you snowy keep us updated!
OH started to flag today, only halfway through FW but TTC is obviously taking its toll on him.

snowy1982 · 20/03/2016 09:34

Thanks kitten but I am definitely not getting my hopes up. Thankfully I have a busy day today so fingers crossed I won't have time to get down about it

MrsKittenPie · 20/03/2016 09:22

snowy - mild cramps could be a good thing, I am still hoping for you. I know what you mean about not knowing what else to do to make it happen though, it just seems unbelievable when you have got the timings right and had ovulation signs etc and it doesn't happen - I just don't get it at all.

snowy1982 · 19/03/2016 12:02

If I was an archer I definitely would have to decided to get a new past time by now

PrtyPsn · 19/03/2016 10:37

Don't despair snowy an archer doesn't hit the bullseye every time. Sometimes everything is right but it still doesn't quite work, chin up lovely xx
kitten I do think it's worth asking to see another doc, don't give up hope x

OP posts:
snowy1982 · 19/03/2016 09:05

kitten some very mild cramping, it comes and goes. DBAFD2 and unfortunately I have a strong feeling she is going to make her appearance as scheduled. Had been feeling so positive this cycle, the timing was right, EWM was spot on, DTD every other day including the day I got ovulation pains.... don't know what else I can do to make this happen Sad

MrsKittenPie · 19/03/2016 08:34

Thanks for your lovely words everyone. I may go back to the docs next month and ask if there's anything that can be done. Will try and see a different doctor as the last one was awful.
prty - glad my membership isn't cancelled Smile.
snowy - any update?

Could you speak to your doc about additional testing? I'm sure there is more they can do x
