Hi (big wave)
So you clicked on here because 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/2531973-Christmas-is-here-but-its-not-the-turkey-thats-getting-basted-with-symptoms-to-spot-and-festive-cheer-Prty-and-the-gang-are-getting-BFPS-this-year?pg=39&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.
  4. This thread is intended for support - both giving and receiving. If someone helps you then please be kind and return that to another TTCer.

So that's it, jump in and FX'd for all of my lovelies xx

Also still on knicker watch!! No AF as yet, just large quantities of creamy CM (sorry not sorry TMI!!) haven't tested since Sunday so might go buy one tonight and use it in the morning... Maybe!!

Everything crossed for everyone else!!

glitterpoppy · 17/05/2016 08:44

Thanks pirsy I know you're right.. I'm just a proper stresser. If that's a word?!

snowy1982 · 17/05/2016 08:43

Glitter good luck for today, you have to let us all know how you get on.

If by some miracle AF doesn't appear (I think she will though) I am going to TRY and hold off until Thursday, instructions on test said if result is BFN and still no AF to wait 3 days, so I will try and do that. There will be a lot of knicker checking in the meantime though

Pirsy1 · 17/05/2016 07:49

Good luck poppy. You'll be fine. Im sure they will be nice and this is the first step!

Snowy Im sure those CB digitals arent that sensitive. I think you should maybe test tomorrow on fmu if no AF. Xx

glitterpoppy · 17/05/2016 07:34

Are you going to test again today snowy if she doesn't come?

Today's the day.. My appointment is this afternoon at the hospital! Can't believe it's finally here.. Feel so nervous still. Least it's steps forward though Smile

snowy1982 · 17/05/2016 06:55

Knicker watch update, still no AF. I imagine it will be today though

snowy1982 · 16/05/2016 20:20

We'll see how this next cycle goes and then we'll take the plunge. I also think I am going to use OPK's this cycle, with ovulating late and AF late when I am normally ridiculously regular I think I need to keep a closer eye on it this cycle

glitterpoppy · 16/05/2016 19:53

p.s snowy I don't blame you paying for a private appointment I couldn't wait until August either! It's been bad awful waiting these 3 months to go back and discuss my results at the hospital.. I feel like I'm in limbo!

glitterpoppy · 16/05/2016 19:51

Sorry about your BFN snowy but like you said there is still chance!!

Welcome lucy Smile

Lucy1308 · 16/05/2016 19:50

I should probably try with a digital then at least I won't sit there squinting haha!! It's good that you have a plan though Snowy- I think that the whole uncertainty thing is what does my head in the most- all the what ifs and maybes! Even more so with the NHS (who I love dearly, but good lord are they slow sometimes!!) Fingers and toes crossed for you!

I'm glad someone is enjoying knicker watch ;) we aim to please haha!!

snowy1982 · 16/05/2016 17:10

I was using CB digital so it was a very definite 'NOT PREGNANT'. Definitely think I am out. DH and I had a chat and have decided to give it one more cycle and then we will make a private appointment, I cannot wait until August at the earliest for the NHS.

Knicker watch is still in play until she turns up, but I have a feeling it will be very soon

Lucy keeping my fingers crossed for you.

PrtyPsn · 16/05/2016 17:02

snowy you held out a lot longer than I would! Just because it's BFN now doesn't mean you're out, not til she shows!
lucy welcome to the gang :) glad AF returned quickly after removal, FXd for you X
I'm bloody loving Knicker Watch!!

OP posts:
Lucy1308 · 16/05/2016 16:43

Can I join in?! Drawn to this thread as I'm currently in the same "will she turn up or won't she" situation as Snowy also with BFN (I'm refusing to count squinty lines as I'm certain I'm imagining them!!)

Only my first cycle after coming off the coil but it was all going to swimmingly what with AF returning super quickly after removal and some good dark OPKs... And now AF was due yesterday and I've spent most of the day popping to the loo to knickerwatch...

Anyway hi all!! Fingers crossed we both develop a second line soon Snowy!!

Pirsy1 · 16/05/2016 16:04

Snowy I dont blame you for testing! I wouldnt have been able to resist either. So sorry its a BFN. I really had my hopes up for you too! Hope you're ok. Xxx

snowy1982 · 16/05/2016 15:05

Well I couldn't resist, I tested, BFN Sad

snowy1982 · 16/05/2016 12:38

Knicker watch update - still no sign of AF, but am having some very mild cramp like feelings. Was thinking of going out at lunch to buy a test, but might not bother now

snowy1982 · 16/05/2016 12:09

Once is all it takes

karryk · 16/05/2016 11:37

Hello ladies :)

Hope you're all well. Fingers crossed for you Snowy.

Loving the idea of knicker-watch...I've got the theme tune in my head now Grin

Just entered the 2ww. Only managed to dtd once this window, hubby was just too tired from a new work routine. It was a couple of days before the big O so here's hoping anyway!

snowy1982 · 16/05/2016 11:26

Knicker watch update - nothing to report

snowy1982 · 16/05/2016 09:07
