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

Oh no, sorry neetie!
I've had massive temp drop this morning, so unless this is a true implantation dip (the one I thought was before was only a small dip), it must be AF on her way. 6 days early. Although I have had a period start on CD19 before. But only once in over a year. I'm really beginning to think there's something not right with my hormones now. Am going to speak to the doctor!

My temp is still constant at 36 and still having lots of clear CM

neetie - sorry to hear of brown tinge, hopefully it's nothing.
hippy - today might be your implantation dip? Fingers crossed it goes back up tomorrow

Woke up and nothing so just went and bought a FRER… Got back and spotting has started

And I have just had a photo of a new born baby shoved in my face by a colleague who has just become an aunt! I swear you could not make my life up! Feel a major wobble coming on... Feel a fake migrane coming on so I can go home early...

Aww flowers why is Mother Nature so cruel?! Take comfort in that you're not alone - every time I get a BFN AF starts hours later :/
As for the colleague, why are people so insensitive?

Feel like a dick. Finally started to believe it actually could be this morning, even had a fantasy plan about how I would tell OH tonight. Feel as though it serves me right for getting carried away.

mrs - please don't feel like a dick, it was perfectly natural to get excited. We are all here for you and know exactly what you're going through. I'm on countdown waiting for another colleague to shove a scan pic in my face soon, it's so bloody obvious. People are so insensitive. Big hugs. I had those plans too at the weekend and felt stupid too but please don't - embarrassingly I'd looked up my due date and planned my mat leave after my (fake) bfp at the weekend , it is heartbreaking. Vent away here though - I do!

Thanks lovely xxx I know you ladies get it. I am currently on the verge on tears and planning on going home in a bit to have a nap and avoid anyone who can talk about babies to me... Why couldn't sodding spotting start before I'd bought those tests! Finally got my hopes up and didn't even get to use 'em! I am ignoring all signals from now on until my period is at least a week late. Stupid symptom spotting never amounts to anything and clearly my body enjoys playing tricks on me so that it never makes sense and just drives me even more loopy!

Will have to go for second lot of blood tests when AF properly kicks in and get first round results back on Thursday, however now thinking they will need to be done again as clearly everything is late this month. Stupid crazy bodies

flowers we've all been there, I'd wager most if not all of us have got that hope and thought about hie to tell OH, family, looked at due dates and mat leave and even possible scan dates - its totally normal and nothing to feel stupid about (hugs)

Just had some sad news my sister lis the her baby. She was 11 and a half weeks it died two weeks ago

Grr silly phone meant to say lost her baby

Oh no neetie so sorry to hear that

Really sorry to hear that Neetie

I have faked a migraine and gone home to crawl under a duvet. Not taking this well at all!

Sorry to hear that neetie.
mrs - that sounds like a good idea, look after yourself xxx I'm definitely joining you on the not symptom spotting or even bothering testing this cycle - I hate my stupid body and it's cruel tricks.

Sorry to hear that Neetie

Also sorry to those baby bombs. I honestly don't think that people who conceive easily or without planning realise how devasting it is to those struggling.

Well wiped on the loo at work and had red tinges then got home and swabbed and had brown. Bought two pack of digi clear blue tests and of course couldn't wait so did one to get a BFN....just want to cry i hate my body so much...
Now am, very worried as if not pregnant why have I had all these symptoms continually the whole month..am so worried that it is something horrible..smear test next thurs

Oh Neetie. I hate our stupid crazy bodies too. I am sure all is fine, but can you chat to your GP at the smear next week? Big hugs sweetie. Have a cry if you need too, it does help to let things out.

I have cried today too. I have also been in bed since I got home with old Sex and the City DVDs and, I am not ashamed to admit, a huge amount of junk food. OH has been sweet but I hadn't told him about not spotting or thinking I was late as wanted to be sure. So he thinks I am just having another one of my "oh no it's my period" episodes. Quite pleased he works nights and is leaving soon. I just need to wallow in self pity for a bit!

Love how my dog knows I need a bit of love

Love it Neetie!! I have had two of my cats with me all afternoon! At least we've got our fur babies

Sorry to hear that neetie

flowers I feel for you.. Sex and the city and junk food was a good call though!

And I have officially given up on dry January! Fat lot of good it me

I'm on 2.5 weeks of the flashing smily face on the CB OPK.. I don't think I'll ever ovulate

That sucks Poppy. Remind me when your Dr app is?

I hate that we are all struggling so much! Wish we could all have some good luck - we are long overdue!

It's on the 8th Feb flowers I can't wait, I'm starting to feel depressed when I think about it all.. I just want to be normal!!
