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

Thanks ladies Smile With everything with my mum I have been so stressed out and down lately. I really hope this is the start of good things for me and my family in 2016.

Stats: 33, TTC #1, cycle 11. Typically (and bloody annoying, I know) as everyone says, this was the one month I haven't thought about it. Had so much to deal with and been focusing on helping my mum and dad as she has chemo, I don't even know when my FW was!

Might not be on here much as have been so busy lately, but if it's ok I might stick around with you guys for a while... I am in total shock and not sure it has sunk in yet!!!

Sorry all, busy in all kind of crazy and boring ways!
flowers I would def test!

snowy1982 · 09/03/2016 18:33

Have you done a test? Just because you had bleeding doesn't necessarily mean it was a period, esp if it wasn't your normal type of period. Take a test if even to rule out one possibility and if it negative and pain continues try and see a doctor.

The TWW crazy has hit early this cycle, was doing some online shopping and found myself clicking into the maternity wear section and planning what I was going to buy (thankfully I managed to restrain myself from actually purchasing anything). The crazy doesn't usually hit until the second week so am a bit annoyed with myself

MrsFlowers82 · 09/03/2016 10:32

Hello guys. I hope everyone is well.

Sorry that I have not had time to check in and for the fact that I haven’t read any recent messages. I am being pretty selfish and checking in for some advice.

Obviously with everything going on with my mum TTC has been totally off the agenda. However, I had a weird AF last week – started as watery red blood with two small/med very dark brown almost black clots (sorry for TMI) and then faded into spotting which was really only on wiping. Lasted just four days and I didn’t have a wear a tampon for any of it (again sorry TMI). In the run up to AF my boobs always get sore at the sides and this usually fades when AF starts and is defo over when she leaves. This time though boobs have been KILLING me, actually has woken me up in the night a few times it is so painful (sides and the fronts, feels like it's behind my nipples??) and is showing no sign of abating a week later.

I do not believe this means I am PG, after all I had a period, but wonder if could be chemical? Either that or there is actually something wrong with my baps - really feels like someone has been using them as a punch bag!!

glitterpoppy · 08/03/2016 18:31

Haha Blush

snowy1982 · 08/03/2016 16:36

We bit of morning glory (or the female version for you) Smile

glitterpoppy · 08/03/2016 15:21

Days of the flashing before the static but that was the really long ridiculous cycle!! Just realised DH is on nights tonight and tomorrow so won't see him till about 4.30/5am.. Grr, I've told him to wake me to DTD. I hope that'll be ok! Sad

glitterpoppy · 08/03/2016 15:20

Last time I had 10

snowy1982 · 08/03/2016 08:12

Those are the ones I normally use. They tricked me last time, was expecting 2 days of flashy highs before the static peak, but only had 1 flashy before the static so was all confused by it

glitterpoppy · 08/03/2016 07:34

It was one of those CB that flashes at high fertility and has a static smiley face when it's peak so hoping I'll have afew chances yet as was flashing. DTD last night anyway so fingers crossed this time!

snowy1982 · 07/03/2016 19:31

Get another DTD in this evening to give yourself that extra chance

glitterpoppy · 07/03/2016 18:35

I know what you mean it's so hard isn't it?

I've just took my CB OPK and its showing high fertility! I hope I haven't done it too late as not DTD in 2 days ( my DTD every other day plan hasn't gone to plan!!) I might actually have a normal length cycle this month Shock

snowy1982 · 07/03/2016 17:26

Fingers crossed glitter

It's a weird one cos I am feeling positive this month but don't want to feel too positive incase I get my hopes up too much

glitterpoppy · 07/03/2016 13:55

Sounds good snowy, you've got every chance this month esp with DTD every other day. You just need to keep positive.. I've a feeling this could be your time Grin

CD15 for me.. I'm hoping the provera I had to take last time might have kick started my cycle and I'm really keeping my fingers crossed for a more normal cycle. I've got my OPK to do when I get in from work.
