So, I thought I'd take it upon myself to kickstart the new thread. As the title suggests, this is a wonderful home full of the bravest, funniest and most inspirational women on Mumsnet, who are always ready to lend an ear and a virtual glass of wine.

The new thread is kicked off with 3 bfps in 3 days, so here's to more love and luck along the way

Oh Alba, sorry you've had your hopes buggered about. Must be that your body's having a good thorough warm up for the next bean. And you get a holiday to relax and spend some fun time with DH beforehand!

Moofold - hi! Gosh you must be glad that RTD came at last, though not often we say that!

GLB, Littlemiss I have a feeling that this month I will be wondering about every twinge, even though I've never really noticed before. You ladies (not just you two of course) have opened my eyes to a whole new world of TTC madness

I am officially on holiday till after Easter so hoorah for me . Am supposed to be getting on with some decorating, but may take a least a day to just ponder about...

BunnyBaby · 26/03/2010 09:00

alba really sorry to hear your news, I think that's why I'm too scared to test until 3 days late. Keep your faith in mother nature, she will give you your baby very soon. Book your ski holiday, and perhaps you'll get a little snowflake baby as an extra bonus to take home with you!

AlbaDeTamble · 26/03/2010 07:55

Sorry to bring bad news to shiny new thread. Day of cramps and sharp pains and all other symptoms stopped yesterday. Clearblue this morning says try again next month... And check out that ski brochure.
Thankful for all that lovely recently delivered wine as RTD will doubtless be heavy and painful when she arrives.
Not buying any more super early sensitive tests as they only cause heartache, but keeping in mind DH reckons the same thing happened the month before we conceived DS, only we didn't have the early test to prove it... Hope this can happen again and this CP won't mess up my cycle for next month.
No chance of a 2010 baby now though

littlemiss72 · 26/03/2010 07:26

Morning all, good god jollster 1am.. bed woman!

GLB I'm in the same boat, ov'd around the same time and feeling a little crampy like you mentioned. Also wondering what it might be not sure I've ever noticed it before.

We have our 2ww to get through, symptom spotting..

Thanks god it's Friday, I've had a busy week at work and need a nice glass of wine! I'll try and hold out until 5pm

Happy Friday all x

randomimposter · 26/03/2010 01:07

ok - haven't worn tighty whities for many a year.... been up late drinking with an old friend. Nothing helpful or informative to say - hic... x

Moofold · 25/03/2010 22:19

oh GLB - meant to say I felt really achey like that for several days before and after ovulation during that cycle there. I don't recall ever feeling like that before but also havent been scrutinising my every bodily function in such a manner before!

Moofold · 25/03/2010 22:16

Hello all. I still haven't caught up on those 300 posts and now there is a new thread and everything. So I gather the major headlines are CONGRATULATIONS to Alba, Unbuffy & Happygirl!! Well done to you all, I'm chuffed for you! Not in the slightest bit envious.. Glad Muser is getting there - sorry if I have missed out on anyone else's news.

RTD of doom got me today which has finally put an end to that miserable bloody 65 day cycle. I had convinced myself I was pregnant in Ireland and tested (BFN), so a bit glum after getting hopes up. Now wondering if I am so desperate to be pregnant again that I have become delusional fabricating symptoms that are just not there.

Hey ho, new cycle and CBFM here I come. First attempt at list updatage - hope I haven't arsed it up.

Bugger and balls Clareanna but I am convinced that April will be unsurpassed in updifferentials so don't fret!

clareanna · 25/03/2010 21:39

RTD had descended (thank god an end to the madness) just another 5 weeks until I go mad again!

clareanna · 25/03/2010 20:41

glb in my current state I have little that will help! Could be ov pain? I have been achy for 5 days now- still no RTD- we'll see what tomorrow brings...

hippychick66 · 25/03/2010 19:13

Ok - just realised that I have already been done. Sorry been up a long time today and feeling slightly mad/jet lagged/old!!!!

Forget it and carry on around me.

hippychick66 · 25/03/2010 19:10

Hi, Love the new name. I knew it was you guys cos of the Tightie whitie comment.

I tried to move myself from WTF to the regular list but failed miserably and got scared I would cock it all up. So have abandoned the plan. Can someone please put me on the list as cycle day 4 - usual cycle length 28. TTC #3. Thanks.

BunnyBaby · 25/03/2010 18:50

mused great news!
gilda thanks for hashish mac tip. Been puzzling 'bout that one!

Me - just counting days and symptom spotting ( glad not only one)

Goodluckbear · 25/03/2010 18:28

I have a genuine bona fida question ladies - one of my few posts where I have something useful to say/ask!! I reckon I may have ovulated yesterday (regular cycle, I'm due RTD on 7th April so would've expected to ov 14 days before - i.e. yesterday). Today I feel a bit achey - just a little like period pains - just kind of a heavy feeling where I normally would have period pains. What's that all about then?

Obviously I'm obsessing about everything now. It could potentially be trapped wind due to the excessive amounts of chocolate coated raisins I've eaten today. Who knows.

xxxxxxxxx

clareanna · 25/03/2010 15:21

Love joss whedon- mainly buffy though

still no RTD, still delusional!

Allthe8s · 25/03/2010 14:38

Got any veras?.........fank u Gi1da #################### hasherty hash!

Gi1da · 25/03/2010 14:09

Gilda strokes Brian's forehead and eases him into a seat. Now now don't you fret, we're very tame really... Winks at Upduffybuffy

For Allthe8s alt+3 will deliver lovely hash. And no hanging around street corners waiting for dodgy Ebeneezer geezers. Result!

Unbuffy · 25/03/2010 14:00

Hmmm mrsG Joss Whedon was he the one what done Buffy? Hmm, see (current) name. I am a (not at all secret) CHARMED fan!!! Especially when you watch it and choose words to drink to, like, 'understand'. As in, I don't understand. (this would probably also work with Star Trek)
I am playing Quiz tonight! Although it is a League thing and can be quite dull. Think I'm only a team member as am the only person under 50 prepared to take part - so I occasionally come accross as really clever and hip and with it .

Fingers all crossed Clareanna. Could be, could be... Blame the Jet Lag for no bfp yet - you're running behind!

Happygirl, I feel exactly the same. Keep expecting rtd. Doesn't feel at all real yet.

Good news Muser

Don't mind about name change (after weekend test though!) but unable to actually change name as don't know how. I am a computer ignoramus, it's true.

Think i've forgotten some stuff, but brian is frazzled I'm afraid. Maybe some cosseting from some of you ladies? [hands over very small man with confused face, shoes him into room]

Allthe8s · 25/03/2010 13:30

Hi ladies, just poking my head in to say Hola!

Gi1da - show me how to hash on a mac pretty please?

Hang in there Clareanna x Muser thats great news

Minxi sorry I think I forgot to say Hi as we changed threads How are you doing? Like the other loonies ladies said am so sorry you have found your way hear but I hope we can prop you up, make you laff, give advice and get to the end of this emotional rollercoaster as soon as possible....

All the rest of you crazy cats ello ello ello, hope you are well, off for me lunch and to celebrate MiniAllthe8s getting a place at much wanted primary school.......(I cried when I got the email ffs I ned to pull myself together)

Tatty bye xx

HappyGirl1 · 25/03/2010 11:48

Ladies just wanted to say thank you for all of the kind messages yesterday. It's so kind of you when I know you also want the infamous BFP and you deserve it so much. But really and truly thank you.

I'm incredibly nervous, I am officially 4 weeks today so that's something I guess but I keep thinking that RTD will come. I'm going to do another test at the weekend to check that my hormone levels are rising. If it's okay I'm just not ready for the graduate list yet I'm just far far too nervous.

Muser that's such positive news that your hormone levels are going back down - very nearly in single figures that's very positive..

Sending really really good positive vibes to everyone today..

clareanna · 25/03/2010 11:48

gah - jetlag meant i was up at 3.15am - decided this was as good a time as any... spent about 15 mins going boz-eyed trying to see two lines - only one though - but not RTD yet. holding onto the fact that last time didn't get a BFP until 4 days after RTD was due. Still got weird aching feeling though...

Pollyanna · 25/03/2010 11:44

Hi all.

Hope everyone is ok - go on clareanna time to poas?

i am quite excited - I put my statistics into fertility friend and it reckons that I did actually ovulate this month - albeit very late. Just have to wait now for RTD to show up...

Sorry no time to update stats - am at work and not meant to be on here!

minxi · 25/03/2010 10:12

Thank you girls for your lovely kind messages.. am planning to wait until RTD/AF arrives before even thinking about ttc again so your advice has been v useful.

Congratulations on the BFP's!!!

Will be back soon to catch up and may add my stats soon... thanks xxx

Goodluckbear · 25/03/2010 09:52

Hey Muser - that's great news!! Glad to hear things are returning to normal.

MrsG - what did you find on internet last night? Posting at past midnight - dirty stopout!!
