Prty's Gang and The Festival of Foof Fun (when they not being cray cray!)

[PrtyPsn]

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 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

We are symptoms spotters extrodinaire - you name it we've had it, real and/or imagined
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

Cheers chum. How you doing today?

Who even knows?! No real CM, went completely last night, a very small tinge when I wiped this morning, still feeling stomach bug/sicky, no cramping though, bloody fed up!

Prty, keep your fx hun. When af due?

I erm have some news... I poas this morning and got two bfps!! I'm stunned and speechless, the symptoms all make sense now, thought I was losing the plot.
Oh is made up and we're both a bit scared. We've got a week off together this week so going to let it settle in a bit. Eek

Lou! That's amazing! Congratulations xxx

EEEEee!!! I go away for a weekend and come back to BFPs! Congratulations!

Nothing to report here, but to be expected after sperm strike. Cycle day 24 and just waiting for AF so I can begin again! Although, we have also decided to start looking at moving. Got estate agents coming round Saturday to value our place. Think it will do us good to think about something else for a bit.

Prty I am sorry you are feeling blue but remember you are not out yet. FX for you xxx

Woo hoo!!! That's fab lou congrats, lovely xx
AF due in 2 days... I don't feel like I'm about to start but no idea!

Yay to everyone with BFPs!! Congrats all! had a busy weekend so for the first time in months I feel better about the whole TTC thing. Hubby doesn't finish training until Dec then has another stint from Jan til March.. Realistically I can't see it'll happen until we see each other more than once in a blue moon... But it's just lovely to know other people are getting there! 5 DBAFD... Been thinking about my new knee more than a baby.. Feel oddly pleased about that lol

prty keep those fingers crossed, sounds like v similar symptoms to what my sister had before she found out she was preg with niece xxx

Prty - I'm keeping everything crossed for you, we can hold each other's hands! Regardless though, I'll still be here talking to everyone xx

P.s thanks everyone! I feel a weird lack of emotion, I've not cried, I'm happy but shocked, it's weird

For any poas fans..

Blimey Lou they are VERY strong lines!! Congratulations

Yeaaahhhh! Well done Lou!

Prty you have clearly created a fertile thread! I reckon you're next!

BFPs please stick around and let us syphon your good luck!

Thanks to him not getting in until 6am Sunday morning, OH struggled last night, so unfortunately DTD was incomplete!! Today is my last fertile day according to Ovia, so unless he had some strong swimmers that stuck around from Thursday, I think I'm out this month

Congratulations Lou!

So my hormonal bloods are missing. Scenario 1) they've been sent back to my doctor who is off until next Monday. This means I won't get the results until next week at the earliest & being sent back to the GP probably means something bad as my 'all clear' results (FBC & white cell) went straight to reception (probably not rational but its my current, panicky train of thought) 2) the results are still at the lab & have been delayed. If they come in later in the week they'll be interpreted by another GP in the absence of mine 3) my results have been lost. If they're not in by the end of the week the surgery will ring the lab. She couldn't reassure me they wouldn't be destroyed in the mean time. If that happens its 5 weeks until I can be retested & I'll be fuming with them. Feel like crying!!! I'm struggling to stay calm & not cry in work......

Deep breaths shary I'm sure it's a simple mix up or they are sat waiting at your docs, it will be five and if they have to retest then it's only 5 weeks - plenty of time to DTD and see if nature takes its course :) you might find you don't even need the results x
aindy bloody selfish men! How rude of them to not DTD exactly when we need them to! I reckon the future of the human race will depend on women producing both egg and sperm to self inseminate!!!

Hahaha Prty imagine if it was that easy!! The term "grow a pair" would take on a whole new meaning!

Big hugs Shary, as Prty says, maybe nature will take its course if you have to wait, so don't let it put you off DTD in the mean time

On an unrelated note, does anyone else's MN keep unwatching random threads? I notice if I log out and log back in, I no longer receive updates via email. Not that it particularly matters, as I obsessively check up on this one anyway...

Yay another BFP - congrats lou !! It's like buses around here :)

shary sorry to hear you haven't been able to get your results -im sure they will be there, I know it must be frustrating and I'll no doubt be the same when I get mine done but try not to think the worst Hun

Evening ladies..quick question and a what would you do kinda way..
Ok so as you know I had a weird three day not overly heavy period this month and was kinda freaked out by it so POAS and got a BFN, well next couple of days got a dark brown discharge and then nothing. Now feeling bloated, tight tummy, boobs feel kinds weird not achey but kind of sensitive but not all of the time...driving me nuts..
Not doing OPK this month so according to apps i either ovulate on 10th or 12th but if I look at previous OPK I ovulated before and after those apps said I would. DH is being very good at the mo, actually woke me up twice last night ;) so hoping he stays in a good mood for next few days to cover all bases. But not sure whether to leave it until next time am due and see if anything happens or POAS again now...

Thanks everyone, spoke to my therapist OH when we got home from work and I'm now thinking a bit more rationally. 1) I'm grateful to have got the FBC and white cell count back and know it's normal as I guess that's a good indicator of general health 2) It's unlikely my results have been lost as two of them are already in the GP surgery (if they couldn't find any results I think I'd have more reason to worry 3) The results are probably with my GP or another GP waiting to be commented on as I'm pretty sure if/when you get them over the phone they come with the line 'probably did/didn't ovulate' 4) Realistically, even if my results were in there's nothing I could do with them if they indicated a problem as my GP is on holiday 5) Realistically, it's going to make no difference to my cycle this time around anyway.

Phew, feel better for working through that!

If they have gone missing I will be gutted though because I know 5 weeks isn't a long time to wait to have them done again but it feels like it when I've just spent 5 weeks waiting for the tests (pesky long cycles!) But I'll cross that bridge when I come to it. My plan is to ring the surgery again on Wednesday and if they're still not available I'm going to ask them to contact the lab to see whether they've been sent to the surgery or if there is a delay at their end.

Thanks for listening ladies xx

Hi all! Sorry I've been off here for a few days. Had a quick catch up, congrats on the bfps - this is a lucky thread!
neetie - how strange, our bodies do like to confuse us. It may be worth poas now, if nothing else it could put your mind at rest.
shary - big hugs, how bloody frustrating. I would feel exactly the same but please try not to be too stressed or upset. It may be scenario 1 and you've just got to see doctor as a follow up. I was really upset last week because my 21 blood results have a note on I've got to see doctor and a couple of ladies on here have said that that is normal practice after 21 day bloods.
My news is I go to doctor tomorrow for 21 blood results which I'm dreading.

Hi Kitten, I was one of those who reassured you that being called in to discuss the results with the GP was pretty standard. My doctor said to me when he booked the bloods "we'll talk again once they're in". I really should take my own advice and calm down! I'm much better at giving advice than taking it. Good luck for tomorrow, will you let us know how you get on?

Neetie maybe POAS just so you know for definite where you're at? If it's playing on your mind you might be best knowing for sure either way. Good luck!

aindy I only follow this thread so no idea, sorry x
shary glad you're feeling a little better about it all, OH's do have their uses sometimes :)
neetie tough call but if it's playing on your mind then I say test but with an open mind
kitten I'm sure it will all go fine, remember it's a positive step and we are all here for you x
A heap load more depression in the Prty household tonight - CM has increased so needing a pad now, also turning from brown to a more pink/red... with the BFN I've got to assume it's AF :(

Glad you're feeling more settled about it Shary. It's such an emotional rollercoaster. At the risk of sounding completely cheesy...all this patience and hard work will be worth it. Motherhood is the best challenge I've ever taken on. Yes, it has its ups and downs but you gain a best friend for life I wouldn't trade it for the world!

Neetie - I agree. POAS to put your mind at ease. I just had a very light period. Although it was very unusual being so light and so long (with no PMS symptoms), it couldn't have really been anything but AF. Still PdOAS anyway and it made me feel conclusive and that I was back on track - if that makes sense??

Oh Prty I will continue to keep Fx regardless, but the hugs and triple-choc ice cream are also available on demand.
