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

.... (whistles nonchalantly) not had names picked out for about a year...
Decided to randomly do an OPK cos of CM - negative, just a faint pink line, ok so I was also using it slightly as a pg test too... think I'm out this month

Stripes1983 · 06/10/2015 20:24

I feel like by the time I get pg all the names I like will be taken ! Haha prty a OPK as a pg test I don't think is too accurate - plus AF isn't late yet - don't count yourself out yet chicken !

tay13 · 06/10/2015 21:00

You're not out until AF arrives Prty, I had lots of CM when I got pg last year - before I'd found out. I've now got usual pre-AF cramps so thinking I'm def out this month, realistically better now than when I'm having op

PrtyPsn · 06/10/2015 22:09

I know you're right, just having one of those 'it's never gonna happen' days :(

Same here really Prty, just talking with DH and we've decided we'll have every test going to see if the chemo meds for my arthritis have stopped all chance, as it was one of the top side effects. But will wait til after the op. Disheartening when everyone seems to be PG too. It will happen for you, I'm sure - but the time it takes is so bloomin' cruel. Even homemade fudge isn't a help at the mo xxx

PrtyPsn · 07/10/2015 07:38

Hopefully everything will be fine tay got FX'd for you, lovely x
DBAFD 2, woke up feeling really sick this morning, stomach churning and almost threw up when I coughed too hard :/ and this snotty CM just won't quit!!

glitterpoppy · 07/10/2015 07:53

Aww tay sounds like your going through it at the minute, hope everything's ok for you!!

Pirsy1 · 07/10/2015 09:10

Hi everyone, was at work until very late last night so didn't get the chance to catch up on the thread. I also have my baby names all picked out and have spent ages trawling the baby names threads on here! I have tried to stop doing it though because it's not very productive and a bit like torture.

Prty I don't think you're out yet. I'm keeping the faith.

Another Twiglets fan here! Love them and not too calorific either if I remember correctly.

YouAndMeAreGoingToFallOut · 07/10/2015 09:21

Ahh yes. Baby names. I've devoted a lot of time to thinking about them!

CD14 and another high on the monitor today. We're both busy at work at the moment and I'm exhausted - sex is the last thing I can be bothered with. Unfortunately, DH is not the sort of bloke who can be persuaded to "just get on with it".

LittleAindy · 07/10/2015 16:07

Prty all that CM and sickness sounds promising! Surely a neg OPK isn't a bad sign for this end of the cycle? I thought you only had a LH surge during Ov, not early Pg?....but I really don't know a great deal!

One of our teachers brought his newborn into work. I almost burst into tears, and I've NEVER had a thing for newborns - definitely a broody hen here!

Stripes1983 · 07/10/2015 16:57

Ladies - I'm actually shaking and not sure if this is real .....!!!

So it's John Wayne vs Les Dawson in The Great British Pee Off and Prty's judging... get ready to be basted, lovelies!
Stripes1983 · 07/10/2015 18:12

Went and brought a CB one - can't believe it but I think this means I'm pregnant ?!

OMG stripes!!!!!! Congrats my lovely (huge hug)

Stripes1983 · 07/10/2015 18:17

Thanks prty I'm still in shock ! Honestly was convinced AF was arriving any day !

MrsKittenPie · 07/10/2015 18:32

stripes !!!! CONGRATULATIONS!! Wow, so happy for you! How long have you been ttc and what did you do this month that was different?

Stripes1983 · 07/10/2015 18:37

Thanks kitten been trying for about 9 months although first couple wasn't tracking cycle , and I'd love to offer to tips but honestly didn't do anything "special" I did listen more to my symptoms rather than relying on my app for when I ov as my cycles have been inconsistent

Stripes1983 · 07/10/2015 18:39

I actually think it might have been the night the phrase "basted" was born ! Smile

glitterpoppy · 07/10/2015 18:46

Ahh stripes that's lovely news to read after a long day at the office!!

Have your cycles been irregular then? My cycles are really irregular and it's making me doubt that it'll happen...

SharyBobbins · 07/10/2015 18:49

CONGRATULATIONS STRIPES!!!

Fantastic news!!!

YouAndMeAreGoingToFallOut · 07/10/2015 18:52

Argh!!! Stripes!!! Congratulations!

Stripes1983 · 07/10/2015 18:55

Thank you everyone , feels weird that I'm getting the congrats - keeping everything crossed that you lovely ladies get your BFPs soon - new thread magic !! And poppy they were not really irregular but between 29-35 days but then last month had a 43 day cycle and so thought that's what was happening this time !

themoo · 07/10/2015 19:06

Ooh STRIPES yay!

hugs you

MrsKittenPie · 07/10/2015 19:23

It's brilliant our lovely thread has had a bfp Grin. So who's next to poas? prty - I believe it may be you?!

PrtyPsn · 07/10/2015 19:26

I'm so happy for you stripes enjoy the time, you deserve it!
Yep kitten I'm the next POAS but I'm due AF Friday and we are away overnight so it might have to be Sunday but I'm sure AF will have rocked up by then!

Stripes1983 · 07/10/2015 19:30
