Christmas is here but it's not the turkey that's getting basted... with symptoms to spot and festive cheer, Prty and the gang are getting BFPS this year!!

[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/2480630-So-its-John-Wayne-vs-Les-Dawson-in-The-Great-British-Pee-Off-and-Prtys-judging-get-ready-to-be-basted-lovelies?pg=1&order=

We are symptoms spotters extraordinaire - you name it we've had it, real and/or imagined
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

Fingers crossed kitten. I woke in the night to quite bad cramps so now worried that af is coming. Was kinda hoping after the symptoms I've been having it was our lucky month even DH was talying about little baby Lawrence now am not so sure. Plus if af does come am even more worried about why I had those symptoms and thinking it's something more sinister

neetie - thank you. Cramps might not be a bad thing lovely. It could mean good things are happening. Is test date next week?

I'm so excited for you Kitten!! Keeping everything crossed. Update us all immediately!

Oh Neetie, you've had a right old time of it lately. Hugs. I am crossing all for you that AF stays away. Try and keep busy today and do something fun to take your mind off it all. We are here if you need to moan xxxx

Day 23 today so any time from now really

kitten remind me when AF was due? I def think it calls for a FRER... please keep us updated, everything is crossed!!

Thank you again everyone/ you're keeping me slightly sane . I'm cd29, am 26-30 days usually but have had no spotting at all which never happens - normally get that 2/3 days before. Frer is purchased, will be home soon

Well just swabbed as I was getting a bit stressed and totally clear not a sign of brown/red...quite a few days to go though.

Ooh kitten! On tenter hooks here!! Neetie fingers crossed that swab stays clear!

That's a good sign neetie - I'm keeping everything crossed for you

Well there doesn't seem to be much on the frer, possibly a real squinter that won't photograph. I'm not too down - it's not fmu and the superdrug one with fmu was so faint even with fmu. It's a waiting game til tomorrow I guess, unless af shows up first

I am keeping everything crossed for you Kitten!!!

Still got weird rib stitch going on but also getting some AF style niggles. CM has also dried up so I think I'm out

mrs you're definitely not out yet lovely. Thank you - I'm not sure what to think now but that test from this morning is keeping me going!

Hi kitten - yes, that test from this morning does have promise! Do you have another frer for tomorrow morning?

flowers keeping my fingers crossed for you!

I'm not thinking high temps might indicate pregnancy, was more worried that high temps in follicular phase might not be a good fertility sign. Does anyone know about this?

On the phantom preg symptoms, I've got sore nipples (not to the touch, more like throbbing), have been feeling nauseous, very tired, and have been getting really bad sciatica (I know that's not a symptom, but, well...) Anyway, only time will tell!
I'd appreciate any advice on temps if any of you know about that sort of thing... X

hippy - yes I've got one for tomorrow morning. I'm not sure about the thing about the temps but your symptoms certainly sound promising x

I've not posted here much recently but I have been keeping up with you all.
I'm devastated to say I had a private reassurance scan today and found out I've had a missed miscarriage. It was twins. Totally heartbroken.

Oh shary I'm so sorry to hear that, lovely xx there are very little words of comfort I can offer you on the loss of your little ones but know that we are all here for you xx

I'm so sorry to hear that Shary. I can only echo what Prty said, we are all here for you if you need us. Sending you much love and hugs x x x x x

shary - am totally heartbroken for you. Please know that we are all here for you and thinking of you xxxx

So sorry shary

Had very odd morning here, woke to horrendous cramps a little like yesterday, convinced af was here but when I wiped and then swabbed nothing , clear as a bell. They have now dulled down to a niggle...

Keeping all crossed for you Neetie - sounds promising!

How are you feeling today Shary? I have been thinking about you. I hope you managed to get some sleep and can take it easy today ️xxX

Any news Kitten?

Hi Shary! I'm so sorry for you!
As everyone says, I know there's nothing we can do, but we're all here for you if you need a place of refuge...

Thanks for asking mrs - af is here - heavy blood. Totally gutted - that's 2 months running that has happened- feel so so stupid for posting pics and getting excited. I'm an idiot

Not stupid at all kitten our bodies play horrible tricks on us big hugs

You are NOT an idiot Kitten. It could happen to any of us. This TTC lark drives you crazy. Hope you can chill out today lovely. Big hugs xxx

Thanks neetie. Hoping those cramps mean implantation for you, fingers crossed
