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!!

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

My heart beat was about 86....

BTW! I forgot to say welcome to Fuzzy!

You must think I'm mental with my last post, but there you go - this shows that this board really is open to everything, including mad heartbeat/rate obsessions!

neetie ooh, that seems high! Although from what I've read you can only really compare with your usual resting heartbeat (so it would go up by 10 beats supposedly, if you're preggers!)

mrs!! I can't believe your restraint! Do let us know! Have you ever had a cycle that long before?

Or should I say Flowers, as there are two mrs!

Hi Hippy - I am always 32/33 days, but ALWAYS with spotting before, usually from day 29. I usually have days of "maybe its not AF, maybe its implantation" kidding myself before AF, so actually its the not spotting that is odd... However, I am not testing and trying to tell myself this could be a long cycle or perhaps my body is fixing itself up. This would be a good thing as the spotting is something I have always worried about and why I have had blood tests (results due back Thursday so another something to obsess over!)

I tried to measure my pulse with my fingers

Thank you hippy and rather than reading your post and thinking you mental, I thought instead that I had found a kindred spirit because it is exactly the kind of thing I would be obsessed with. I have a really fast heart rate, but my I can download an app for my phone, so will keep an eye on it and see if it goes up at any point.

Last time I checked heart rate it was about 71 just checked again it's 81

Mmmm gone down to 67 now bit early to get excited

Woah! Just went for a pee and got the most sudden pain right where I normally have period pains, really sharp and right across my stomach... I very much doubt it's implantation due to the severity but had to share! Ouch!

Ooh! prty that sounds odd! Keep us updated! When are you due again? My temp is up again, so either I had the mythical implantation dip, or I'm having an anovulatory cycle, or I could be late to ovulate I suppose, although that feels unlikely! Time will tell I guess...
Neetie I forgot to say you're supposed to take it once, first thing in the morning, like you would with your BBT. That might be why you're getting different rates.
Flowers any update today! Got my fingers crossed for you!
fuzzy nice to meet a kindred spirit - and I think I'm due the same time as you too (I'm due in 7 days), so we can be cycle buddies! But prob only this cycle, as mine are a bit short (normally about 25 days).

Likewise hippy and good to have a cycle buddy. My cycles are usually 31 to 35 days long, but are always unpredictable. Hopefully for all of us we won't be trying for long.

hippy around 10 days til I'm due according to app but CM indicated I may have Ov early this month - going by that I'm due in about 7 days. I'm absolutely fine now, it only lasted a few hours :/

Just looked back at my cycles, the only other time I've had suspected implantation cramps was 12 days before I had my positive(ish) test then bleeding...

Lol hippy in that case it's still 81 ..
Still all clear on the swab front

I am currently doing hourly toilet trips... Have swabbed so much I am surprised I am not raw... Still nothing. CM is milky. No other pains or symptoms. Keep thinking I feel minor twinges in thighs and sides… Going slightly crazy! Dare not hope too much... Today is CD33, have never not spotted by now and usually full flow kicks in today... But as I say I dare not even dream - I can’t face the crushing disappointment of YET AGAIN seeing that empty white space where a line should be… Feel AF is going to kick in any time now and put a stop to my madness

Gosh! It's all happening here! Maybe this will be a good month for all of us!!
I'm definitely having a weird cycle. I thought I had ov'd on CD10, which seems to be my regular day, as I had a dip, then a rise. And then later I had all these weird symptoms - really sore throbbing boobs, headache, cramps, all quite like symptoms I've had when I'm ovulating, except these were all after day 10/ovulation. Then I had that dip yesterday, which I thought meant I hadn't ovulated after all. But as it's up again today, I'm hoping, not even daring to hope, that it could have been an implantation dip... And today I really feel like my period's about to come, but I'm not due for 7 days. Just have cramps like I'm about to get my period, and you know when you feel kind of warm down 'there'. It's very odd! Really trying not to get my hopes up!! But you can't help it a bit, can you!?
Please keep us updated flowers. Hugs!
neetie when are you due? Seems hopeful - good luck!
prty that sounds promising!! Crossing my fingers tightly for you!!

Waahh hippy I've got that 'gonna start' kinda feeling, can't really put my finger on it completely - the cramps last night, tender boobs (not really sore but achy) twinging lower back pain... weird

Grr... Another 'baby bomb' here.... Sigh

Oh no glitter (hands over a mug of hot chocolate) anyone else feel like we are the only women who aren't pregnant?!

'Me' I feel like that.. How does everyone else seem to get pregnant so easily! Feeling very sad tonight.. DH just asked me if I'd heard the news about our friends.. Answered a quick yes as worried my eyes were going to fill up!!

P.s thanks for the hot chocolate prty

glitter - sorry about the babybomb . Lots of for you. Yes, yes, yes - I feel like that too. Am so sick of hearing of how easy it is for everyone else to get pregnant.
mrs - I'm dying for you to take a test! When are you going to test? Keep us updated
hippy - sounds promising for you too, and prty

Sorry Glitter

Kitten - not feeling too confident tonight. Still getting AF twinges and am absolutely ravenous which is always a sign that The Bitch is on her way... Curled up in bed with a massive stack of crumpets, tea and tele. Guess I just have to see what tomorrow brings.

mrs - that sounds like a blissful evening - I want crumpets and tea now . Keep positive lovely, I am for you too. Are you thinking of testing tomorrow if no af?

Ooo crumpets and tea!!! (stares hatefully at cup of decaf coffee)

Mmmm not sure if I've got too excited too early. . After feeling dizzy yesterday especially
Today heartbeat was 76 and swab was lighting brown tinge hope this isn't her coming late day 27 today
