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

Hi all, I've never used lube either, so I would have been the same.

DH is finally back from Canada!! Me and DS are about to go an meet him for breakfast on his way home. Yay!!

And on another positive note, just realised I'm on CD 20 already, meaning only 4-6 days to wait now. So really glad the wait is almost over. I've been having a lot of cramping for about the last week. I'm not sure what that's about. I'm hoping it's not anything sinister. Trying to stay positive!

Good luck to all DTD tonight - and enjoys your weekends. We've got a day visiting friends in the countryside today, so looking forward to that! x

Ahh Ella have a lovely family day . Sounds like it's going to be awesome weekend. See that's what I need - positivity!

Fx'd those cramps turn out to be a little bean burrowing in there!

Morning well didn't manage to DTD last night..he was too tired..
This morning though..(still tired) managed to convince him, not very romantic but I think he knows we need to get past that lol
Anyways one app said thurs for ov and the other app says today so pretty much covered for those... although think it may have been earlier in week when boobs were sensitive (never has that for ovulation before so hoping a good sign) but if it was that was covered too. So back to TWW, just wish we had started earlier so the age related conceiving thing wasn't an issue..

Sorry Aindy totally missed your rant when I posted!! It's so frustrating, isn't it? The Bible will keep you positive!! Hugs!! Sorry, short post, am in cafe with DS and DS! X

Neetie that all sounds promising!!

Thanks Ella, just got my first +ve on an OPK, so maybe there's still time tonight!

Yay Aindy positive thoughts your way!! X

Neetie well done for convincing OH. Sometimes you gotta just do it for duty! :-)

Morning ladies !! So first cycle on not constantly Peeing on a OPK so don't really know if/ when I'm ov but it should be sometime this week or next so trying to keep up with DTD ! Fx to all those on TWW !

We are always here for you to rant to aindy it's was we do :)
Glad you're having some family time ella
neetie sometimes men just need to do what they are told haha!
stripes the freedom from OPKs is sometimes worrying but enjoy it, trust your body, it will all work out :)
In Prty world news, a family member has ominously randomly set up a gathering of the family today... if it's a pg announcement then you can find me at the bottom of a massive keg of beer :/

Aww Prty FX it's not that.

If it is, tell her to get to the back of the line because it's your turn!!!

It was :(
My brother and his new girlfriend, only been together a few months, wasn't trying.
Was really hard to see my family being excited for them, sounds selfish but they should be feeling that for me, not a stranger.

Oh Prty that truly sucks (no offence to your brother).

I'm not sure if I believe people who "aren't trying". Either you're using contraception, or you're not. If you're not, you must be aware that you can get preggo. If you are and it fails for whatever reason, then that's a different story.

Just think, when it is your turn, you will be the latest and most exciting news.

Oh Prty I'm sorry :( That must have been really hard to sit through. How long were you stuck there for?

I wish people would just announce pregnancy via text instead of through family gatherings/meeting!!

I'm the same aindy if you're not using protection then by default you are trying cos you know the risks!
Only about 30 minutes shary OH could tell I was struggling and faked a phone call from his office that meant we had to immediately leave, he's a good 'un

Well done Mr Prty!
I feel gutted for you Prty, spoil yourself tonight.
Have you been getting any "when are you having kids" questions from your family? If so the only consolation is it might distract them for a bit and take the pressure off you?

I was so tempted to crack open a bottle of expensive whisky tonight but I've done so well keeping off booze that I don't wanna let myself down :(
No shary my family gave up with those comments years ago, they have no expectations of me to procreate

Have you got any chocolate/cake/ice cream (or all three) in the house Prty?

My family are good and don't mention having kids to me because I think they feel a) it's not really their business b) they don't want to put me under pressure. OH's family have stopped asking me because they've begun to assume I don't want any because I've played it down so much and because every time they try and get me to hold a baby I freeze...

There's always chocolate in my house!! Not in the mood to eat anything though... hoping it passes

Oh prty hunni I'm so sorry that must have been really tough for you , sending massive hugs and hamper of chocolate xxx

Hello all, just checking in after a busy week of work and property valuations.

Prty I'm so sorry you had to go through that today. I burst into tears at yet another Facebook announcement the other day so I am impressed with your strength. If not the chocolate then treat yourself to something else tonight - a nice bath, face mask etc. Your OH sounds awesome so even just cuddles and film with him.

Hope everyone else is OK. Sorry for not following, will read back properly tomorrow xxx

Ah prty that sucks... I also had a baby announcement from a friend, couldn't be annoyed though she has had an awful time , ectopic and loads of other probs etc

Aside from that sneaked in a quick DTD this afternoon...in the dining room (curtains closed obviously) so extra baby juice we hope lol

Oh and my finger kinda clicked when I was on Amazon and I seem to have bought the kindle version of Baby Making Bible :)

Ooh! Hope you enjoy it Neetie!! I'm beginning to feel a responsibility for this book! I hope you guys find it helpful. It's been great for me!

Prty I'm SO sorry, you must have found that really hard! Your time will come!!

I forgot to say to you all, but I had yesterday off work, and spent the morning researching acupuncturists. And I've booked myself an appt for next Friday! I spoke to the woman who's doing it for about half an hour, went through all my background, and she sounds really nice! It's not going to be cheap, but I'll just do it for 2-3 cycles I think. And I'm looking forward to it anyway, regardless of baby making, as it's something I've wanted to try for a while for relaxation! I'll keep you all posted! X

Prty that's awful, I'm really sorry.

Last night I met up with a friend who told me that a mutual acquaintance was PG - she came off the pill and conceived on her first try. Not even first month - FIRST FUCKING TIME having unprotected sex.

Currently have PMT and cramps from hell. Another month out and feeling crappier than I thought I would.

Still I suppose it's not over til the bitch makes her inevitable appearance.

Bex don't worry it's all lies. I am extremely skepitcal about all these miraculous conceptions. (At least that's what I tell myself to make me feel better)

Sorry about potential AF. (slides over large Merlot) You know where to find the gingerbitches. Fx'd just in case.

Told OH about +ve OPK, he said "So what does that mean? Do you need another deposit?" LOL!

(Grabs merlot and washes down with a prosecco chaser)

Apparently it was a wedding night baby so there may be some truth to it. Bah.

Anyway had to LOL at your OH and his "deposits" lol. Bless the men!

I am totally loving my man at the mo, yes he held out for ten years before saying yes but..now he is all on board and well into the baby making lol
He is away in China when af is due so asked him if he wanted to know before or after he got back if I got a BFP and he said before :)
