A gentle caress or a deep wipe? A real symptom or a load of old tripe? Join Prty's gang to rejoice or gripe!

Pirsy unfortunately I don't think it's exciting, I think it's just one of those cycles when things aren't as normal, I ovulated late so I think it has just thrown everything off.

That's great news about the lack of waiting list, me and my 34 week wait are super jealous right now

Ahhhhh snowy - that's exciting! Yes people at work will be wondering what's the matter because you're going to be popping to the loo every 5 mins. Really really hope AF stays away!

Poppy that's great you have your appointment tomorrow - you will have a plan at least whatever they say.

I have had a letter to say we have being referred for IVF, they are waiting to hear back about NHS funding, and there is no waiting list at the moment which is really good news!

And thank you ladies for helping keep me sane yesterday, it's days like that that you realise how helpful these groups really are. and for all of you

I understand the nervousness glitter I'd be exactly the same, but no matter what comes of it it is still a step in the right direction.

I have my next reflexology appointment this evening, really looking forward to it as I am definitely in need of some relaxation. Had such a bad sleepless night, up a million times to check for AF. Hasn't arrived yet, I normally get it first thing in the morning but I know that doesn't mean anything. Think it will be a long day of running to swab every time I feel the slightest twinge.

Just been trying to catch up before work. Keeping my fingers crossed for you snowy

It's a fresh new week and my follow up hospital appointment is tomorrow, I can't wait to finally know what's going on and to discuss what to do next although I'm feeling a little nervous!!

Thanks Pirsy, I just don't know what has got into me this cycle, I never normally struggle this bad. It would probably have been a waste of money anyway, I am sure she will be here first thing in the morning as normal

I think you did the right thing Snowy. Wait and see tomorrow. Fingers crossed AF stays away and then it will be really exciting to test! XX

Well the shops are officially closed and I resisted going out to buy a test. It was a very close call, especially after I had another bird poo incident when out walking the pups, really had to talk myself out of seeing that as a sign that I should get one

Pirsy I keep repeating that to myself, so far it's working, might get DH to hide my keys

Its a tricky one Snowy but I would try to resist the urge. If AF doesnt show tomorrow buy one on the way home to use on Tuesday morning.

Trying so hard to talk myself out of going to the chemist for a test, don't know why I am struggling so much this month

Snowy fingers crossed! I hope this month is the one!

I have been at a hen party this weekend. My close friends know we are trying and that we have been for a while etc. My oldest friend told me that they have started trying for number 2 so I am already thinking that she is going to be announcing a pregnancy soon and Im still going to be trying! At least Im prepared. Xx

Just gonna wait to see if it is late or not. Had some pre AF like niggles yesterday afternoon, but nothing since then.

snowy - yes it is going to be a long couple of days. Hopefully af stays well away. Are you going to test or just wait til it's late?

So here I am at the business end of TWW. AF officially due today but as I ovulated a day late am not expecting it until tomorrow, it's going to be a long day or two

Getting less and less hopeful, some normal feeling pre AF pains earlier today, they have disappeared again but still believe AF is imminent

snowy yes my body does the same to me. Every month it's something different that manages to get my hopes up - but it's always just a cruel trick and mind games, it's vile. I truly hate ttc. Hopefully for you it's not just a trick though

I don't know about promising Kitten, generally my pre AF symptoms are always just a mild cramping, but every so often my body plays tricks on me and sends me some different one and then I get my hopes up just to be disappointed all over again, so I am trying my very hardest (and it is so hard) not to read too much into it this time round

snowy - that sounds promising - I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you. Yes I can understand the temptation would be strong!

Kitten yeah I will only test if I am actually late, although the temptation to nip up to the chemist to buy a test is really strong this time. I'm ok, just been feeling very odd this week, really unusual pains since Tuesday, it doesn't feel like the usual pre AF pains, it's more like a feeling of pressure, but that means f all I'm afraid, it could still be pre AF. I'll just have to wait and see

Hi everyone - hope you all have a lovely weekend.
snowy - how are you doing lovely? Are you waiting til Monday to test?
karry - sorry you had a baby bomb - it really is a mystery how some people are blessed like you say but that seems to be the way it always goes.
I avoided a social event last night as I knew there was a friend going who would be proudly showing off her bump whilst people would be asking me why I wasn't. I honestly couldn't face it, I think I'd have ended up crying/losing my temper. I don't want to see bumps, it's hard enough as it is without having to plaster on a smile whilst feeling like a complete failure.

I haven't given up drink while TTC but I drink on so few occasions (and when I do it's not heavily) that I don't think it will really hurt.

Prty my MIL knows we are TTC but she never asks about it, and if she hears anyone else asking she always says 'they've plenty of time yet' so thankfully I don't have that pressure - she really struggled TTC herself so she knows how it feels. Although we do have a guy in work how is a bit unique, and he doesn't have any boundaries, almost every week since we got married he asks me if I'm pregnant yet. Its so frustrating, but he is a special case and he really doesn't understand that he shouldn't ask questions like that

the night I conceived last year I'd had a bailey's...or two obviously it didn't end well (mmc) so not advocating it.. although the two aren't related ....but seriously considering bagging a bottle on my way home!
