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 anything 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

And our most recent thread here -

www.mumsnet.com/Talk/conception/2458534-Prtys-Gang-and-The-Festival-of-Foof-Fun-when-they-not-being-cray-cray?pg=1&order=

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

Anyone remember when POAS was exciting? Haha!

Still is for me prty!

7dpo today. Had a few AF type cramps (but much milder). Very unusual but then maybe I've had then before and not noticed because I was normal before starting this TTC palaver...

PrtyPsn · 15/10/2015 20:03

The more the months roll on the more fearful I get moo there's a tinge of excitement til I see the BFN then remember how bloody awful it is!

neetie1 · 15/10/2015 20:08

I just get scared it will never happen..I know we left it late but I so want this to have a happy ending

themoo · 15/10/2015 20:09

Aw prty maybe I'll be at that stage too in a couple of months.

hugs you for slightly too long I'm so bloody cold. Tempted to have a bath just to warm up but the thought of undressing doesn't butter my crumpet right now. Mind you, I could wallow while listening to Liza Tarbuck on reply (totally have a girl crush on her. I love her.) (and Sue Perkins)

themoo · 15/10/2015 20:16

Replay, not reply. Stupid iPhone.

Neetie we did too. I think we're the same age? I'm 40. Sorry if that's a massive insult and you're 30 or something lol

neetie1 · 15/10/2015 20:26

No am 43 :)

PrtyPsn · 15/10/2015 20:27

Oooo Sue Perkins - total girl crush!!
I'm clearly just bitter and seen too many AFs since TTC lol!

Anyone else see the pregnant women and general whinging on a programme about the cost of kids this evening and feel like throwing cushions at the TV?

Even more so now AF type pains have made an ugly appearance

MummyBex1985 · 15/10/2015 21:03

OMG.

Another. Fucking. Pregnancy. Announcement.

If anyone needs me I'll be hiding under my duvet.

neetie1 · 15/10/2015 21:24

Ok in the two years since I have been teaching at my school there have been 8 babies born..now that is torture..

PrtyPsn · 15/10/2015 21:24

(Crawls under duvet with a comforting hot chocolate and muffin for bex)
It'll be your time soon, lovely x

So had dream in the night I'd had a baby woke at 4.30 with awful cramps. Got up at 6.10 with alarm red on toilet paper and small clot in wee Sad

LittleAindy · 16/10/2015 07:25

October is being super crappy isn't it. I blame the lunar eclipse

hands out pumpkin spiced lattes all round

Well I put a stopper on this cycle after being a bit 'over zealous' during the BD warmup Shock Blush (so some healing time is needed)

It's quite a relief knowing I'm out 100% though, because now I don't have to symptom spot for the next 3 weeks and can enjoy a glass or 10 2.

Loving all the pet pics. We have two insane collies, who get walked at 5am everyday by OH! (I get the pm walk)

PrtyPsn · 16/10/2015 07:34

That sucks neetie
Sounds like there's a story there aindy...

MrsKittenPie · 16/10/2015 07:36

neetie - so sorry, big hugs.
aindy - Grin - we definitely need more details!

MummyBex1985 · 16/10/2015 07:45

No need to POAS, AF is back, again. Sad

Who the hell are these 80 out of every couples who conceive within six months? Rant!

PrtyPsn · 16/10/2015 07:48

Aww sorry bex I think that is a total made up statistic!! Though there is sronr I know who got pg from a one night stand... I just look at her and envy her stupidly fertile body!

OP posts:
MrsFlowers82 · 16/10/2015 07:53
