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

Of course - TTC#1, cycle 3, age 30

Congratulations Rose that's fab news! Keep us up to date with how you're getting on!

11dpo for me, no "symptoms" other than sore boobs which I always get before AF anyway! Just waiting for AF to arrive so I can call the hospital & book my scan

Actually does dreaming about having a perfect little baby in your arms whilst surrounded by OH, my parents & PIL count as a symptom?! That's what I dreamt about last night and it was lovely. Talk about minds playing tricks!!

Woooo hoooo!!! Congrats rose so pleased for you, lovely!!
shary I've had so many dreams like that though last night I dreamt MIL and my boss infiltrated this thread so I had to stop posting in case they worked out it was me!!

10DPO, 3DBAFD, BFN.

7th proper month now.

I know people here have been trying much longer than that, but meh can't believe I was hoping to be nearing my due date for an event in a couple of months and now I probably won't even be PG.

Just catching up.. I was out for date night with the DH last night for the first time in ages, we went to the Christmas markets then onto a champagne bar. Just what I needed!!

Congratulations rose, so excited for you!! Glad to see a BFP on the feed!!!!

I know exactly what you mean bex if we had been lucky in my first cycle (stupid naivety we all have when first starting TTC!!) then I'd be due around now :( the thought of it becoming a new year soon and still not being pg is pretty hard to swallow

I know how you feel Bex this is our 11 month & coming up to our 7th cycle

I can also empathise with this. I went to a comedy show at the weekend that I booked tickets for before I even got married. I remember thinking I would either have a baby or be heavily pregnant ... and Im still trying. Its quite depressing when you think in those terms!

Well I might have had a self indulgent rant this morning and been in a mood all day but you've all cheered me up slightly. At least we are all going through this crap together!!

Oh and at least I can get hammered at my work Christmas party now

OH keeps saying "let's have a boozy Christmas"!

FFS, this gets worse.

Best friend just announced she's PG, first fucking cycle.

Bex you're kidding me? First cycle? WTF

How the HELL does that even happen, seriously!

I know a few of you are ahead of me in line, but it's my turn dammit!! Anyone else I know who gets pregnant on the first cycle is officially on my banned list.

Well it won't be me Bex this will be month 10 trying for us -bloody sister only took four- so could I possibly have a pass to maybe sneak in front of you for the BFP as I think I'm the eldest on this thread blows lots of baby dust everywhere

Neetie I would suggest anyone in the six month plus club should get a free pass for January

It's the second first-month-trying-baby-bomb that's dropped in the last few weeks, and it's so damn frustrating.

I suppose the plus side is that for every month you spend trying, it's a month closer to hitting the year mark where you can actually seek medical intervention.

Sorry for my Probably PMT related rants over the last couple of days, I'll be less of a miserable sod from now on, promise

Bex that is unbelievable ... I dont know how people manage it on the first cycle or 'by accident'! That is an alien concept to me. I tried to talk to one of my oldest friends about keeping calm whilst TTC only to find out they were first cyclers too.

We all deserve our BFPs on this thread! And the sooner the better!

Don't apologise Bex you're just saying what we're call thinking/feeling! I'm bubbling over with PMT right now! I just want to be left alone I'm a dark room with this thread & chocolate!
Seriously though, I'm so down & fed up at the minute it's a little scary

I understand what you mean bex, my friend who baby bombed me last month was on her 2nd cycle.. She was dis sainted it didn't happen the first time she said to me!! I thought.. Disappointed?! DISSAPOINTED?! Try seeing how you'd feel 10months on!! With still irregular cycles.. Grr

*disappointed stupid typo

I know glitter, it's unbelievable that people don't know how lucky they are!

Shary - pass the chocolate, I don't care that it's only 8am

True bex I've been at the chocolate too.. Starting to feel nervous about the doctors tomorrow. I have a phobia of needles so the blood test is making me anxious.. I just keep telling myself it's for the best as then least I'll know what my body is up to.. CD78 today.

Poppy if it helps at all just try & see the blood test as the first step on the road to your BFP (I hate needles too I just kept saying to myself 'I want to give birth soon a needle is nothing' )
Massive AF cramps going on here. The bitch should be landing shortly

I know this may not be the place for it. But I'm devastated.

I lost my mum last night. She collapsed with a massive brain haemorrhage and there was nothing the hospital could do. We held her hand whilst she was on the ventilator until the organ donation team came to help save lives.

I am lost and absolutely crushed. My mum was 62. This should never have happened - it's so unfair.

Absolutely lost and heartbroken.
