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

Thanks shary it helps to hear your lovely positive news how're you? Last cycle was 112 days and I'm on day 92 of this one.. I'm hoping they are gradually going to get smaller as that's just too long. The doctor says I have to go back though in a month if I haven't started AF as he may need to give me something to force it. FX it happens before then!!

Temp dipped slightly this morning, slight cramping so not sure about this month...not sure I feel very christmassy now :(

neetie how long are your cycles? If you're only on 21, cramping could be a good thing? I've had light dull cramps sporadically over the last couple of days. AF not due for a week or so.

Anywhere between 23 and 27 days so a little early I guess for period cramps but not sure

I'm okay thanks Poppy just still being really tentative. If I go from conception date I'm currently 5+6. I've booked a reassurance scan for mid-January. I'm just praying I've got a sticky one & it's in the right place

Anyone else kid themselves and think they're going to try and be cool about the TWW, but actually get a little crazier with each passing day...?

Had cramps for the last half an hour (and on and off lightly over the past couple of days), and I'm CD 27 but mine are usually 33-35 days. Each time I go for a wee I'm paranoid about what I might find when I wipe!!

Last time I had cramps early, I had a stupidly heavy AF a week later.

Me Pantz! I'm trying to be all nonchalant but really I'm like 'what day is it ... should I test?!' I really need to rein it in because I had a meltdown last month and I think my husband will despair of me if I do it again. Deep down I think I know I'm probably not pregnant this month but can't help hoping!

Also totally know what you mean about the tentative wiping and dreading what you're going to find.

I'm feeling very bloated ... usually a sign AF is coming.

I hope your cramps are something exciting like implantation and not AF!

Come on pantz and pirsy you're not out yet, lovelies!!
DBAFD 4 if you ask me, 6 if you're backing the app... feeling pretty symptomless to be honest, trying not to test too early - think it would be to devastating to get a BFN before (or on!) Christmas day

I hope you get a BFP Prty! But I agree ... don't test before Christmas ... I'm definitely not as I'd like to enjoy Christmas with the hope that I might be pregnant!

Merry Christmas for tomorrow everyone. Let's hope Santa works his magic! See you on the other side, and here's hoping we can celebrate soon with some BFPs!

Merry Christmas pantz
I'm spotty as a teenage boy, could be AF, or not... CD29 and it's the only real 'symptom'
Pass me the alcohol free wine!!

Merry Christmas everyone! Hope you all have a brill day tomorrow. Yes and fingers crossed for some festive BFPs coming up on this thread! XXX

Merry Christmas, my lovelies!
I know it's Christmas Day so I don't intend to be here all day, I just wanted to wish you all well and say thank you.
Thank you for keeping me sane and at the same time being just as crazy as me haha!
You have all got me through some difficult TTC moments this year and I know you will continue to for as long as I need it!
Here's hoping for all our BFPs and pretty bloody quickly please Santa!!

Merry Christmas everyone...well temp went down .4 today and had a brown smear when wiping so don't think I will be getting my christmas miracle.
Pretty much cried this morning , luckily DH was on hand to give extra cuddles, just wish it wasn't so hard.

So sorry to hear that neetie. AF has turned up today, almost a week early :(

Yep she arrived yesterday a very unwanted extra present :( so unhappy

Boo to all those mean AF's :(
Today is DBAFD 0 via me, 2 via the app... almost tested this morning but convinced myself to wait until I'm over due via app. Also having a few mild cramps :/

Hope everyone had a lovely Christmas
Sorry neetie and baggy for the bitch arriving. Just think though, get this out the way then bfps in the new year for us all. I'm on cd8 so she ruined my dreams of a Christmas bfp too but let's try to think positive for 2016.
prty fingers crossed for you.
I'm not temping this month - feels better in some ways but strange not being as obsessive! My New Years resolution is going to be to relax more - scary to think last Christmas I thought I'd have a baby this Christmas and I'm not even pregnant but I'm trying not to think about that too much

Well I'm not sure what to make of this. I thought AF had arrived. Bright red blood both in the toilet and on the tissue. Stuck a pad in, hid my tears from the family and promptly poured myself a big glass of red. Went to change it at bedtime and there was not a drop on it. Still put a fresh one in overnight just in case. Really faint pink tinge this morning, and boobs still really tender. They normally stop hurting literally as soon as AF arrives. Not actually due until Thurs/Fri, so she's still got plenty of time to arrive...

Could it be implantation bleed pantz? Keep us updated!!
I've got some serious lower back pain today - aware it's an AF & pg symptom but also could be an 'I was stood all day cooking Boxing Day dinner for 15 people' symptom!!

Have just ordered some Preseed online will give that a go ...fingers crossed.

Pantz I think this is implantation bleeding too! You're def not out yet!

Prty I hope your back pain is pg and not bloody AF.

Neetie is preseed one of those lubricants?

No AF yet here. Think it will be coming this week. No expectations of pregnancy here as just cant let myself do that. In fact might be better if Im not this month as the baby will have been swimming in Aperol Spritz for the last 2 days.

Yes pirsy it had good reviews online and lots of success stories

Joining in now, wishing you all luck. Using OVIA and says I have five days until test, don't think I have any symptoms either way which is frustrating, I'm imagining plenty! And dreaming every night that another different friend of mine is pregnant! Due to test on New Year's Day! Not stopped drinking as MIL massively overexcited at the thought of a grandchild and I think she would lose her mind with excitement if she saw me of the booze!

Hi fee and welcome to our gang haha!! Good luck with testing, we will be waiting to hear! What number child are you TTC? How many cycles in?
