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

Oh girlies I think I'm out. Did a test this am with FMU which was negative, and now I've got mild cramps and have started spotting (albeit in a strange creamy cm kind of way). Feels very much like the onset of AF - bit early maybe at CD 24, 12dpo.
Rubbish

Oh sorry to hear that moo - that is rubbish.

Thanks youandme

pours large wines for us both

Damn, got my italics and bolds in a muddle lol

Noooo our GBPO is falling apart like an underbaked eclair tower!!
Poor you moo big hugs and bigger chocolate x

Aww moo that sucks :(
Haha prty that's made me smile ! Soooo i was talking to OH while we were out for tea and decided to go get a HPT, pretty sure it will be a BFN but think if I test I can put it aside and enjoy my weekend away ! Anyone else still in ?

LOL prty
swipes chocolate

And while I'm in moany mode, I just made a shit dinner. I hate it when that happens.

Ooh stripes! I think I'm out, so you will have to do one seriously MASSIVE wee to make up for all the dropper-outers!

I'm sure it was a lovely dinner moo what was it? We haven't eaten yet!

Haha no pressure ! :)

''Twas pasta with courgette, mushies, olive oil and chilli. Usually one of our favourites but I didn't have any garlic and it REALLY missed it.

The trick with it gives unsolicited advice despite lack of cooking skillz is to fry the courgette till it's really crispy. It goes all sweet and caramelised. Yum.

Sounds good! Know what you mean though, I ince made spag bol and had no garlic, just tasted weird! Nice courgette tip, I normally dice mine so it's stays quite wet, will try that next time.
In unrelated news, I've got plenty of EWCM today so maybe this is my fertile window

Yeah, slice thin and then fry the living daylights out of it. But you need garlic to balance the sweetness.
Fertile window? Get shagging missus!

Yay prty hope you have recovered from the other day ! Fx this is your month ! X

I think I've caught up now..... moo you're not out yet, will you still join TGBPO?!
stripes - glad you are doing it too! And me, who else is in?!

So.... I'm really crampy but bleeding has basically stopped. I find this very stressful. Most months I just have normal periods with four days of bleeding, but sometimes I get this stop start thing and it really freaks me out.

Last month was especially bad, but I think that's because that was an anovulatory cycle - my period was late, short, and light. Then a few days after it stopped I got brown spotting, and then quite clotty brown discharge for a few days.

I never had this before TTC, apart from one odd cycle not long after coming off the pill. What's it all about? Is it stress? Should I be worried?

YouandMe I've had a very similar experience over the last few months. No two AFs the same and I used to be regular as clockwork.

Last two AFs have basically been a one day bleed and three days of spotting, if you can even call it that. It's worrying isn't it. Maybe it's just the stress of TTC.

In other news, as I walked out of work today I walked into a teenage mother with a newborn in a pram... Smoking over the baby and balancing a can of Stella on the handles.

(sigh)

So my result for TGBPO.....
A B...... F....... N......
Gutted. Really thought this was the month.

Gutted for you sunny - it's a bfn here too

Had that feeling last week sunny here's to next month. Am counting the days till DH gets back which luckily coincides with my fertile window :)

youandme and bex the thing is with hormonal birth control you don't always get a true period when using it, it's more of an enforced, chemically regulated bleed so although you may have been regular then it's not necessarily a true reflection of how your body functions. Don't forget too it can take a long while for your body to readjust and of course stress can always impact.
sunny and kitten you're still both star pee-ers to me, help you selves to a big slice of lemon tart, without a soggy bottom (hands over a tub of clotted cream)

Sorry to hear sunny & kitten , just done mine and BFN too ! :(

Thanks prty - lemon tart - mmmm! Extra cream for me too please.
Sorry stripes - it's been a rubbish TGBPO .

We are obviously saving up for next month :)
