So it's John Wayne vs Les Dawson in The Great British Pee Off and Prty's judging... get ready to be basted, lovelies!

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

Highly recommend fertility friend too!

Hello girls. Can I ask your opinions? Not sure now if I'm clutching at straws but here goes...

I've had cramping like AF but milder since about 7dpo. I was up at about 6.30 that day (6hrs sleep ish) which is a fairly regular occurrence but I was so tired I actually had a nap for 2 hours in the pm (I NEVER do that). On 8dpo still cramping, nothing tastes right and I was still knackered. That's the day I got two BFPs on B&M mid streams. On 9dpo I got another BFP with FMU. Since then I still have cramps but no bleeding and no cm. I've used superdrug own, Tesco and frersince then, and all are totally negative.
I'm 11dpo today, still cramping and now sore boobs (bit early maybe but normal pre AF. AF due Thurs. BFN on Tesco and superdrug today.
Am I mental for still hoping for that BFP? How can one brand be positive three times but nothing else?
I just feel absolutely heartbroken after seeing those BFPs. I was so excited and now I'm worried it's all for nothing.
Opinions schmopinions lol I just want someone to talk to.

Hey moo (hands over hot chocolate and blanket) I think you know this but I don't have an answer for you, none of us do.
Anything is possible, my love and I'm gonna go with the generically Yorkshire 'stranger things have happened at sea'
I would say stop POAS though for your own sanity and wait out AF (hugs)

There is the chance BFPs indicate a fertilised egg and BFNs show it didn't implant - sorry, please don't hate me x

Oh Moo. I am afraid I have no answers for you. I haven't a clue what my body does since TTC, all I know is it makes no sense - just when I think I get to grips with it something else happens to take me back to square one!

I am sorry you have had such a roller coaster the past few days. This TTC lark can be so cruel. Could it be chemical? Would it be picked up so early on? What are B&M mid streams? (Sorry, I told you I was clueless!)

Have you spoken to OH since? I hope he is looking after you. Lots of hugs and some of my Reveals passes over bag even though I have picked out and eaten all of the toffee ones xxxx

I know Prty hugs you tight
No more wee sticks for me.
It just hurts really badly.

Thanks flowers.
I happen to like the coffee and the Orange ones (I know, weird).
OH is being great, but I think nobody understands like other TTCers x

(shoves all the malteser ones into cheeks like a hamster)
Yeah, I know moo it's just down right fucking awful isn't it? I'm having to face up to my blip being a chemical, I think I tried not to think of my tests as BFPs because I knew it would just be so much harder to take.
You will get through it, I promise x

I often think the same Moo. It can seem like no one understands, but we are all here for each other; whether we are ranting, moaning or generally over analysing. You can share my Revels anytime lady xxx

squeezes all remaining revels to check for any leftover toffee ones

Thanks guys xxx

Sorry ladies, only just caught up.
youandme - eek - so exciting for you!!
moo - you must be going through hell. We're all here for you . Definitely no one understands like other ttcers - but as prty says you will get through it and we will be there for you xx

Advice required please..
I poas this morning, it was only a cheap one out of pound land there were definitely two lines one was lighter than the other...has anyone else used these tests. I'm going to use clear blue tomorrow morning. Fingers crossed its bfp!

Just catching up.. I took myself off to bed early yesterday to get rid of my mood!

Aww moo I don't understand it at all, I'm so confused by my body at the minute too

Ohh rosi that looks promising, congratulations !!

That looks like a very clear BFP to me Rosi - the line doesn't need to be as dark as the control line (and I think pretty rarely is).

Another positive for me this morning. It's still faint, but a little bit darker than yesterday (possibly just because today I used FMU).

rosi a line is a lone, regardless of brand. The only thing that causes a line to be pink is pregnancy hormone. Looks pretty definite to me!

Definitely getting stronger youandme!!!

youandme - line is looking really good - congratulations!! Did you do anything different this month?

Rosi that is 100% a positive test. Congratulations!

Youandme - I agree with Prty def getting stronger. Fingers crossed AF stays away! Tentative congratulations!!

Moo - I think you will have to just wait and see if AF makes an appearance and try to hold off testing again until then. Slow torture I know.

I have attached my OPK from last night - decided to give them another go which I think is a positive on day 13? Managed to DTD last night but honestly thinking about giving up on TTC. It is such a struggle and don't think it's ever going to happen for us, maybe should just be happy with being just the two of us and having a disposable income! Sorry, feeling fed up today.

Thanks - I still can't believe it! Nothing different this month really, unless you count having an incredibly stressful week at work during my fertile period, which I don't think I would recommend.

Congratulations, youandme and rosi!

I can't understand my body - I woke up gassy and with a slight heartburn-like sensation. I've not eaten in hours! Feel like I've not slept too. Keep thinking this is a sign I've got lucky and I'm one of this months 30%, but then, what weird symptoms?

I get my flu jag tomorrow. Can't remember if it's one where they ask if you're pregnant. I guess they'll have to make do with 'I don't know - it's possible?'!

pirsy that's a good OPK! I know what you mean though, sometimes I don't wanna DTD and give up because nothing ever seems to happen but then I know that's not how I'm gonna get my baby. We all have bad days, lovely, it will get better x

rose you should be fine for your flu jab, I think. I'm trying to decide if mouth ulcers are a symptom... did read it can be due to hormone imbalance/surge so I'm clinging to that haha! Still no AF here...

youandme that looks like it's definitely getting stronger, how exciting!!

I've not POAS this morning.. I'm going to wait to see if AF arrives, seeing the BFN yesterday was awful. I have got a funny stomach type of ache this morning so AF may be on its way soon.... Although I do have a meeting at work this morning too which I'm not particularly looking forward to!

Fingers crossed youandme! Rosi that's got to be a BFP congratulations!!

Hugs Pirsy I feel the same as you. It's great that you got a +opk though! Can you DTD tonight too?
I've just got another strong positive on my opks so looks like we'll be having contrived, forced, unsexy sex again tonight. Temperature went up by 0.2 this morning so fx I'm ovulating.

Congrats Rosi and YouandMe!!!

Looking good Shary - wishing you a happy night's basting!!!
