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

I wouldn't normally get worried about it but I have never felt sick at all in the many times I thought it might be BFP , boobs have been on/off tingey/achey and veins still in boobs and thighs..

mmm so went to the loo and there was brown discharge on pad def not blood but discharge...don't you just love our bodies

Thanks Annie :-) although I'm not convinced AF is going to stay away. :-/ will keep you posted xx

Fingers crossed for you pinky my cycle buddy! Xx

Hey life good to see you :) 'fraid you missed all the Maltesers...
Feeling decidedly fed up, had a stressful morning, fab afternoon and evening then a 'friend' decides to stir up trouble and just tainted all the good things about today.
Very mild cramp on my left side... DBAFD 8

sorry to hear about BFN neetie , sending hugs :( xx ....so confession time - I went to the drs today , didn't say anything before as thought they might laugh me out of the door with a "come back when your serious"! I've been worried about not ovulating & more so because about 7 yrs ago I was going to donate my eggs to a friend but when I went through the tests they advised me not to as I had the egg count / reserve ( whatever that pots called!) of someone in their 30's( mid 20'sat the time) So anyways back to present day, Dr was so kind and reassuring , has told me the steps we will take , blood tests first , although due to my slightly erratic cycles it may take a few and then will see from there. Sorry for long post but felt like now was the time to share as kind of been a bit if i don't say it it's not real ! Fx for all those coming up to POAS day ! X

Awww stripes so pleased you feel you could share, that must be really tough, hugs xx good to know you are taking sensible steps and getting some good support from docs

Thanks Prty , was a relief to know that the Dr didn't think I was stupid ! I mentioned to her about not getting any positive OPK results and she said they don't recommend them as they aren't v reliable, I suppose it depends on many factors and didn't drs but as I know your in the same boat with OPKs I thought I would share xx

Thanks, lovely - I'm totally giving up on OPK, CM and tracking on my app is the only way I'm looking to predict my fertile window... if I'm still no pg by Xmas then I might start to temp or invest in a more expensive OPK

Sounds like a sensible plan Prty ! X

Well done stripes! For going to the Doc and for talking about how you feel in the safety of the foofstival. Only a stupid doctor would ever think you stupid for worrying so you've obviously got a good one.

Sorry to hear your day ended shittily prty. We're a week away mate and I'm clinging to you all the way xx

Cling away annie we are stronger together - we can make it!!

Well..... ladies..... slightly in shock following a bfn on Saturday (then a rather big "feeling sorry for myself" drinking session on Sunday for OH's birthday!), for some reason I decided to test tonight and got bfp!!! Did a cheap Amazon one completely off the cuff then sent OH to Sainsburys to get a "proper" one and got my line straight away! Very excited/scared/anxious but also very sad as I only want 2 children so know this will be my last ever time :-(

I wish all of you the most luck in the world and hope to see you all in the next forum. Prty you must come up with next quirky thread so we can all reunite and celebrate spring babies!

Lots of love, luck, baby dust, maltesers, toblerones, virtual/imaginary alcohol to all!

Until we meet again xxxxxx

Pinky!!!! Wahoo! Got any pissy stick pics to keep us going, and strengthen our faith in Eka??

Good luck, and farewell!

Here you go Aindy, the cheapy and the "proper"! Very much in shock so am using my last test tomorrow to make sure it's 100% right! I'm such a pessimist!

Woop wood!! Let us see the stick please :-) very excited for you. Tell me all your vital detail again please... How many days post ovulation? When was period due? How long have you been trying?

Yes I'm a nosey cow but need to know x

Yaaaaaaaaaay! Congrats pinky! Marvellous stuff xxx

Oh it's just so (sniffs) bloomin (sobs) glorious!! A toast to Pinky! Please all stand and raise your un-pissed-on sticks.

Hurrah!!! A perfect excuse for a 2nd glass!!

Yes, I really need to stop the weekday drinking and MN lurking, and start thinking about filling my evenings with DTD, now that AF has finally fecked off (10 days later)!).

The holidays aren't over until 23:59 tomorrow.... (tips head back as far as possible for last two drops) Somebody please remove this 5ltr box of Merlot from the premises!

Pinky humongous congratulations - such good news ! I feel we all needed a BFP on here to spur us all on !! So exciting !! Xx

Woo hoo pinky that's fantastic!!! Over the moon for you, my lovely xx
Confession time - I'm afraid I won't be moving on when I get my BFP... I know a hell of a lot about pregnancy and birth, a ridiculous amount. I just know nothing about TTC. I don't intend to use MN past my BFP except to hang here and make sure every one of my gang gets through - no foof left behind!

Congratulations Pinky! Wonderful news!

Stripes - glad that you had a good experience at the doctors. I have decided that we will be going in the new year if nothing has happened.

Prty - loving your commitment to getting us all our BFPs!

I am feeling bloated and a bit crampy today so think gearing up for AF which I'm expecting to arrive on Friday. Have looked at the calendar and think my September fertile window is going to coincide with DH going on a stag do, grrrrr.

Stripes well done for going to the docs, it's not easy when you know you might not get the "well everything's fine and it'll all be easy" conversation. Got my gyno appointment at 9.30, dreading it!!

Pinky Wow!! Congratulations!!! So good to see a BFP here!

Prty glad to hear you'll be sticking about - we need our fearless leader to keep us going!

I went back to work yesterday after a lovely summer off and I just know AF is going to arrive to make things all the merrier. And since I've not had a period in aaaages I know it'll be a nightmare one. I've had a few twinges and had a dodgy stomach yesterday (I have IBS that's triggered by hormones) which is usually a sign AF is due. And although I'm dreading how bad it could be, I want it out the way so I can see what's happening with my cycles now I'm off the mini pill. Hope the gyno understands I'm TTC today and doesn't try and put me back on it.

Congrats pinky! Amazing news

Nice to see you'll be sticking around prty - have to confess I think I will be too, if I'm not the last man standing lol!

If I don't fall PG this month we might have a TYC break, I'm a bridesmaid at a wedding so if I fell PG next cycle then I'd be due on the day of the wedding lol!

Well as long as i'm still welcome i'll stick around too! I looked at some other threads but this is like a community! Too many nice people!

I can't be sure when I ovulated as I didn't track it, total fluke. My last af was 30/7 and Ovia said I was due 29/8 but bfn when I tested. Bfp only showed 4 days after af was due. Creamy CM but I get that before af anyway so had no idea!

Excited but scared as had a quick first labour, so quick there was no time for pain relief so am paranoid this one will be quicker and i'll give birth in the car!

I hope you all get yours soon, would be lush for us to do it together! Xxx

Aww, course you can stick with us pinky, I think the foof gang combined would make a lovely set of god parents personally :-)

I caved in, I poas and got a bfn, serves me right... I'm still 4 days from my period so going to hold off now and get my oh to hide the sodding sticks, not giving up hope yet but still hmph!

Well back from the hospital. Doctor said that the cyst on my ovary hadn't changed since my previous scan in March which is a good sign but have officially diagnosed endometriosis (which they pretty much had previously!) They were happy with me to officially start TTC and said if I'm not pg in 6 months to go back and they'll begin investigating further. Doc said that basically she's prescribing lots of sex for 6 months - much to OH's great joy - and to keep my fingers crossed. She seemed quite hopeful. So if only AF would arrive I could really begin this journey!!
