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

[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 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

kitten are you psychic? It did disappear... still think AF is lurking but nothing at the minute...
pirsy I was sure I posted a welcome back last night but perhaps not as can't see it!!
shary hope appointment went ok x
neetie too early for implant??

prty - yes I am psychic - sounds promising - are you going to test?
I've entered a whole new level of crazy - cd8 and a heavy af but nausea and gurgling tummy so keep wondering?? That sounds utterly ridiculous now I've written down - oh dear - this is going to be a loooong month if crazy started already!
shary - how did you get on today?

prty erm not sure actually never got a positive opk test but was due to ovulate on saturday ish so if i actually ovulated friday or even early sat I guess it's possible. It really knocked me for six ..
kitten I think 6dpo now so five when it happened but it could have been 6dpo if OV on Friday

My temp did go from 36.3 yesterday to 36.6 today but we had just dtd so it might not count lol

Hi ladies, my appointment didn't go as expected! I thought I was seeing a gynaecologist to discuss possible PCOS but it turns out it was a fertility appointment for me & OH. We had no idea that's what we were there for! It's a good job OH had come with me! They did more bloods, swabs, internal examination and height & weight measurements. The nurse warned me that if we were to have IVF in the future I'd have to increase my BMI as it's just under what the guidelines dictate. Next step is another SA for OH (as he's now classed as their patient too) & a scan for me. I have to wait for my next period to book this though. The doctor was lovely (and pregnant!!!) and gave us info on who our consultant will be. She did say that after all the tests we will have to keep trying for a couple of months before any treatment though, I guess that night be because we were referred before the 12 month mark

Sounds like they were really helpful shary good job OH was there!
kitten if you're truly psychic then I won't need to test lol! Kidding! Looks like spotting is back again this evening (sigh)

prty- lol! Sorry to hear spotting is back.
Well I hate my body even more than ever, not only can I not get pregnant but I've been struck down by a sickness bug tonight
shary - that sounds positive and helpful. Interesting about your bmi- what are the lower end guidelines? I remember my reflexologist saying that I should eat more fats so I wonder if there is some science behind it

Well temp is up again today 36.7

I've only been temping afew days but mine has dropped down to 34.91 this morning.. For the first time ever I'm hoping AF is on its way...

Weird, the spitting only seems to appear in the evening then disappears during the day get a browny type smear on wiping early evening, a little before bed but by the morning there's nothing...

Baby bomb at the office, just walked into a naming debate now going through buying things, she's 20 weeks and only just announced. Bad day to be at work :(

prty - sorry for baby bomb, urgh that sounds horrendous walking into that - hope you can escape. Are you going to test?

Prty really sorry about the baby bomb. Can you escape for lunch to get away from it?!

Shary it sounds like your appointment was really productive. My husband needs to do a SA too at the GP. I think he is a bit scared of it in case it shows up a problem.

Poppy I hope AF is coming and then you can move forward with a new cycle.

Yeah, I escaped to the loo for a breather only to find AF decided to join me :( what a fucking Friday!

Prty what a crappy Friday Hope you've got some and .

Kitten apparently you need a BMI of at least 19 to have IVF. Mine is 18.5. She told me not to diet but I don't, I eat well. I don't think the nurse believed me though

I got took well and truely by surprise yesterday by getting a +ve opk. Had another positive today. I've never ovulated that early (CD23) I think the doctor must have poked my ovary during the internal exam or something!

Pirsy OH isn't too impressed that he's got to do another SA but it's because the hospital were under now isn't our local one which is where the GP sent his first SA

Mmm so much for the excitement of a temp rise back down to 36.2 today.... :( this TTC is so disheartening sometimes

This is my chart today the three days sustained temp is I'm guessing ovulation as that's when app said it was as well.

Mmm just read there is such a thing as implantation dip of temp ......

Neetie are you obsessing?

FX for you!

I think I must be in the 2ww now, sore boobs have kicked in which usually happens post OV. Haven't really DTD that much but think we managed it day before and day of OV (same as every month lol) so could be in with a shot.

This thread really is in desperate need of some BFPs, just in time for Christmas!! [santa]

bex more than likely it's the first month I have temped and it's fascinating. Today my temp went back up and slightly higher to 36.8.
Apparently there was a study done and it looked and lots of women's temp charts. 66% didn't have any temp dip, of those that did 23% were pregnant and only 11% were not. Knowing my luck am in the 11% but will keep temping just to see am now 9dbafd.

Ooh I didn't realise that (I've never tried temping though). The statistics are definitely in your favour!!

Prty hope you are having a good relaxing weekend after Friday!

Neetie I am keeping my fingers crossed that you are in the 23%.

I am setting myself up for a big disappointment. I think AF is due tomorrow or maybe Tuesday. I have convinced myself I am pregnant. Not really got any symptoms but don't particularly feel like AF is imminent either. Last tested on Wednesday at 8/9 dpo on IC which was neg. Not tested since as on holiday and didn't bring any tests with me. If no AF when I wake up tomorrow I will buy one!

pirsy not really, it's my heaviest AF for months, boiler packed in so no heating or hot water and OH is just being an annoying knob by breathing (sigh)
It's not over til she's here pirsy you never know!

Prty poor you - that sounds like a horrible weekend. My OH is also being a torture - we're sitting in separate rooms - definitely not wedded bliss right now.

How is it possible they can be absolute dicks and not even realise?! He better pull his socks up in time for ovulation :/ wish I had a big enough house to sit in separate rooms.
I feel chocolate will comfort us where men have failed
