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

prty Grin - I imagine everything is a symptom too!
How is everyone today? I'm in a huff as ff has adjusted my ovulation date as my temps just keep going up - I wasn't basted on my new ovulation date so am not impressed at all Sad. I feel cheated it can just be moved like that!

PrtyPsn · 16/11/2015 16:55

I'm already frantic lol, everything seems to taste like soap at the minute...
Bugs me when apps do that! How far has it shifted by?

MrsFlowers82 · 16/11/2015 17:15

Hi all! I'm suffering from the worst AF EVER! Is it just me or do they seem to get worse each time? Seems to be designed that way to make it even more miserable when TTC!

Boo to the change Kitten. Did you manage to get basted before or has it blown it completely out?

FX the sore boob gets sorer and the bad taste sticks Prty!

glitterpoppy · 16/11/2015 18:37

Hi all.. Ooh sounds interesting prty fx for you!!

Sorry about the date shift kitten how annoying!!

Still no AF for me.. CD55.. I guess this cycles going to be a long one like the last Sad

I met up with the friend who baby bombed me Sunday, I was dreading it! It wasn't as bad as i imagined however she starting telling me the whole story about when she found out she was PG and told her DH and I burst into tears!! She thought I was incredibly 'cute' as I obviously was so happy for her, which I am but just hurt a lot inside too....

MrsKittenPie · 16/11/2015 20:58

Thanks everyone - I'm so annoyed with it too - bloody app. It changed it from last Sunday when I was basted all the days leading up to and twice on the day to last Thursday (cd19) where we hadn't done any basting since the Sunday because of dh's shifts, I was basted the day after but that would have been too late.
glitter - sorry about the long cycle and the babybomb- I bet that did hurt inside, it will be your turn soon.
Have we got any poas action soon from anyone? We need lots of bfps on here Smile

MrsKittenPie · 16/11/2015 21:00

mrsflowers - sorry for the bitchy af - hope she buggers off soon

PrtyPsn · 16/11/2015 22:21

Just worked my POAS day is next Weds - only test on weekends as it's the only time OH and I are together for FMU... think AF will get to me before I have time to create a BFN this month!

OP posts:
MrsFlowers82 · 17/11/2015 07:50

Think positive Prty! This thread is long overdue some BFPs, feels like it's been months, and I have a good feeling about you!

hippybird · 18/11/2015 07:21

Hi everyone! prty your boob/sink episode had be gaffawing loudly!! Hope your basting worked, and good luck with the TWW!
kitten that is frustrating!! In the long run though, temping should give you a better idea of your cycles, and at least if you don't conceive this month (hope you do, obvs), you might be able to look back and see why. It has helped with me to feel less infertile, and more that I've just had the timing really wrong sometimes.
glitter sorry for the long cycle!! Do you temp? Sorry, can't remember? Might help to see when you're ovulating in your cycle!
I'm pretty sure I just ovulated, based on a temp shift today, but we'll see as the month pans out! We had a good 3 days run of DTD just now, but last night we were knackered and gave it a rest til today. Hope we've not missed it!! The 3 days leading up to ov should be ok, right?? So now am entering the dreaded TWW!! I think this one's gonna be hard, because of the sister baby bomb, but also, this cycle I feel we've done everything right, got the timing pretty there, 3rd cycle with acupuncture, feel I'm getting the hang of my cycles. We'll see!!
Hope you're all doing well, wherever you are in your cycles!

neetie1 · 18/11/2015 17:41

Hi all temping going well and luckily not ovulated yet as hubby not back from China until Friday, due to ovulate sat so crossing fingers...

glitterpoppy · 18/11/2015 20:14

Thanks hippy not started temping yet, I've got the thermometer but wanted to start temping after my next AF arrives.. Whenever that will be!

How's everyone's day been? Mine been rubbish, work is horrendous at the moment.. I either need to change jobs or get pregnant. Wishing even more to get that BFP now but started to stress about the fact that I'm stressed Confused

themoo · 18/11/2015 20:22

Hi honey I'm hOOOOooooommmee!

themoo · 18/11/2015 20:39

FINE I'll just sit here on my own then.

Sulking.

Fine.

MrsFlowers82 · 18/11/2015 21:11

MOO!!!!! Good to have you home! Care to join me for a cuppa and a family size pack assorted biscuits while I watch I'm A Celeb?! Blush

themoo · 18/11/2015 21:17

Oh go on then flowers

Budge up on that sofa love.

themoo · 18/11/2015 21:18

Bagsy I lick the chocolate cream off the bourbons though

MrsFlowers82 · 18/11/2015 21:18

Glitter any sign of the witch yet?

Crossing all for you Hippy, sounds like you've done a great job!

Here's to some perfectly timed shags Neetie! raises mug of tea and passes round biscuit selection box

MummyBex1985 · 18/11/2015 21:32

glitter I know how you feel.

I was hopeful that a year of maternity leave would at least be a temporary respite but that was months ago now lol.

PrtyPsn · 18/11/2015 22:39

Jeez! MOO!!! How long you been hiding behind chocolate mountain?!
DBAFD 7, slowly going crazy. Very much don't feel pregnant at all!!
Someone brought a newborn baby into work today, asked if I wanted to hold it but said no - was genuinely worried I wouldn't give it back burst out in tears :(

glitterpoppy · 19/11/2015 07:43

No flowers no sign yet.. Had afew stomach aches and pains so thought it was on the way but they passed!

Aww prty that's cruel isn't it.. It's so hard! Sending you big hugs!!

glitterpoppy · 19/11/2015 07:49

I know bex it's awful isn't it, I didn't want to go through the stress of changing jobs as would be hoping I'm PG soon and if I did the whole maternity leave would be a question in a new job but I'm now thinking, how long will it take and me be stuck there Sad

MummyBex1985 · 19/11/2015 08:22

Glitter you would still get mat leave, just not as much pay! Life's too short to be miserable in a job you hate.

Unfortunately I have a pretty niche job and available roles are few and far between - at any one time there's usually no more than one potential job in a city of 750,000 people so my options are rather limited!

I'll probably just quit if we manage to have a baby though

SharyBobbins · 19/11/2015 18:44

Hi ladies, any spare chocolate or biscuits going?! Chocolate Just catching up with everyone, we REALLY need a BFP soon! CD16 for me so still really early days in terms of my cycle. Big week next week though, OH will be dropping off his swimmers at the hospital & I've got my gynae appointment Confused

PrtyPsn · 19/11/2015 19:05

(Throws a giant bar of Dairy Milk to shary )
Good luck with appointments next week, lovely :) FXd for you x
DBAFD 6... nothing new to report, got a gut feeling it's a BFN this cycle

OP posts:
MrsKittenPie · 19/11/2015 20:04

Ladies I need to cry, rant, shout, sob - all of them. Af is here - either 4 days early if I'm to stick with my original ovulation date or 7 days early if I'm to believe the date ff changed it to. I'm so upset I can't believe it, I'm sick of getting kicked in the teeth every month and have had enough. It's been 18 months now and surely time to give up. In this time I've driven myself insane with wondering about symptoms, taking supplements, ovulation tests, pregnancy tests - God knows how many and it's all been for precisely nothing. I am broken. I'm sick of the comments from people, 'you'd best get a move on', 'why aren't you pregnant?', 'just relax and it will happen', 'are you having enough sex?'
I'm sick of the baby bombs around every corner, being scared to go to occasions as I know there will be yet another announcement from normal people who have sex and get pregnant.
I'm sorry for the big wallow but I cannot talk to anyone about it except you lot, dh doesn't get it.
I am gutted Sad Sad Sad
