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

I just put time constraints on myself because I feel like I am behind all my friends... I am not, I have childless friends and single friends, but the ones who do have kids are mostly on to #2. I also worry about my parents too but for different reasons... When I thought maybe I could be PG yesterday morning all I could think was how happy my mum would be. She is about to have six months of chemo, post op for bowel Cancer. It has been the biggest scare of my life, I am so close to my parents (esp my mum) and the realisation that they won't be around forever really hit me. I get scared that I will be too late to give them a grandchild and that though breaks my heart.

Flowers your making me tear up here

Exactly Prty, rationally I know that's exactly how he would be, unfortunately the rational mind seems to go on holiday when TTC

Well I am well confused here, still getting brownish/creamyish on swabbing but no af ...not a thing and now day 28.
Have decided that if nothing by sat (day 30) will test again.

Hi all. Another crap day here. Spotting stopped last night. CM very light but white/clear. Stupidly just did one of the FRERs I got. BFN. Now worried something is wrong as no sign of AF and no symptoms of either

Also blood test results weren't back when I called earlier

flowers could be that your body takes a while to produce enough hormone to show on a test, could be AF is on route but jerking you around. Sadly, either way, all you can do uses it it out :/ (hands over emergency chocolate rations)

Uses it out?! Wait it out... I'm clearly very tired

Feeling for you flowers day 29 still no af still getting BfN and still same colour when swabbing. Only difference is brownish creamish almost gloopy substance when wiping......

I have nothing still Neetie! Just milky white cm! Spotting always starts off light for me and then turns into AF but all I had was pinkish spotting on/off for a day and a bit... Now nothing and no symptoms either! It's day CD36!!! WTF?! Scared something is wrong. Actually just want AF to hurry up!!

I had pinkish/red spotting on paper a few days ago but that was it nothing else

So, just rang the doctors as i had some other blood test results to get (I have coeliac so was getting my annual work up) and receptionist also slipped in that my Day 3 and Day 21 bloods were normal My face actually does look like that right now

Woooooo!!! Fab news snowy that's made my day!!!
DBAFD7 - wait is driving me insane!!

Sorry, what exactly is DBAFD7 Prty?

Its made my day too, obviously still a lot of other tests to go through but good news is still good news and when it come to TTC even the small victories are worth celebrating

Bloods back. Made an app for Monday morning which will also be good if bloody AF still isn't here by then!!

Sorry snowy we've made up a bit of our own lingo! Because I'm never sure if I Ov or when exactly, then instead of counting dpo I count Days Before AF Due :)

I thought thats what it was, but just wanted to check - well in that case DBAFD4

Haha no problem :) ooo any symptoms? I'm feeling a little bit like I'm getting a stomach bug, also peeing constantly!!

Well i was trying to be a good girl and not symptom spot, but then on Wednesday DBAFD6 I have some cramping - in run up to AF I usually only get cramping the day before it arrives so it wasn't exactly normal behaviour for my body, but then its definitely not enough to give any confidence about anything. Nothing at all since Wed so i am know trying to be all calm and zen like about it and wait to see what Tuesday brings

Hi everyone!

snowy and prty - can I join you in the DBAFD wait madness?? I'm on BDAFD 3-4, depending on when AF makes an appearance. She could show her face any day now really, I've had them any day from now before (currently CD 21), but she usually appears day 24 or 5. Makes sense, as I'm pretty sure I ovulate on day 10.

Flowers and Kitten I hope you don't think I was joining in the "hey...relax guys" brigade! I'm totally there with you. You relax, you don't, you chart, you don't, there's no rhyme nor reason to it, and that's what's so hard about it...

Can I ask you guys' advice? I'm going to post a pic of this week's chart. Could you take a look and let me know what you think... A few questions... Q1 - do you think I could produce healthy eggs with my temps so high at the beginning? As you can see, my temps only just dropped slightly on CD7. Q2 - Do you think it looks like I ovulated on CD 10? There is a slight shift, and that is the day I normally do. Q3 - Do you think that looks like it could be an implantation dip on CD19?

Thanks so much! Trying not to get my hopes up, and just go with it. Have been quite cramps this cycle in general, but especially around ovulation and around the "dip". And I don't know if it was my imagination, but I put a pad in on the day I had the dip, as I thought I was about to start, but nothing happened, but there was the faintest of tingles on the pad. More than discharge or dark wee! It really did seem a bit pink...

Soz soz soz for the long post!
Xx

Here's the pic...

hippy i have been at 36.6 for days with no dip. i tested temp late today had gone outside etc to sort dogs out so by the time i did test it was 36.0. Will post my chart in a sec...
Still no sign of anything happening with me going to test again sunday if no sign

Hippy don't be silly! We are all in this together!

I don't know much about temping I'm afraid so I can't give any useful feedback!

No change over here. Also going to test again Sunday if no sign of AF. Pretty sure I am not PG. Just getting frustrated as to why my cycle is so late.

Nothing to add sorry hippy because I don't temp but I had to chuckle at the length of the post, always makes me smile!

Can't give advice on temping either, have always had very regular cycles and my app count and OPK results always match, but if no luck soon I think I will start temping as well.

Starting to feel a bit AFish this evening it would be a first for me to be showing AF signs this early, am DBAFD4 and have never had signs of it until the DBAFD1, but it definitely feels imminent this evening

Ahh, thanks Flowers! It is strange AF is so late... There may still be a chance that it's just not showing yet.
Neetie, ooh, well keep us updated. And I'd like to see you're chart. What do you think about the high temps at the beginning?
