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

mrs - I should be sensible too about money but am in such a huff about ttc I've thought sod it I'm doing it now! I'm excited about trying it though and have found somewhere near me

Whoop!! I am also debating on buying Hippy's Baby Making Bible... It is currently sat in my Amazin basket...

I'm thinking about that too.... Decisions, decisions.......

Hi everyone, well finally got my positive OPK today on my CB digital.. Finally the static smiley face on CD124!!! although a ridiculously long cycle, at least I know I'm ovulating! Managed to DTD today and will also do it tomorrow.. Haven't done it for the past 3 days as DH has been working stupid shifts!

Yey glitter! That's great you're ovulating , fingers crossed- at least you know you can test in a couple of weeks now too!

Thanks kitten.. Yes I know, anyone would have thought it was a BFP with how excited I got with the static smiley on the OPK!
Hope everything goes ok with the DR's tomorrow for you.

Hi all!
I've had such a horrid stressed weekend! Remind me, I am sworn off pregnancy tests now until a definite missed period! I could have saved myself so much hormonal anxd (ooh, how do you spell that) if I'd just waited for AFs arrival. Looks like the witch is here now. Getting spots when I wipe, and as I know it's 13dpo I know it can't be ovulation spotting! At least that horrid cycle is over now!
As I said before kitten and flowers I really recommend Accupuncture! It's not got me my BFP, but my temps have settled down hugely, and it's so good to have somebody to talk to. And good to feel you're doing something proactive. And I heard it can take 3-4 cycles for the Accupuncture to regulate things, so am crossing my fingers for next cycle!
I also really recommend The Baby Making Bible as something to read alongside Accupuncture, to help you understand a bit more about it!
Neetie hope you're doing OK!
kitten good luck at the docs tomorrow!
Prty and Snowy take my advice and stick your head in the sand, say la-la-la-la-etc with your fingers in your ears for the next DBAFDs until you are actually late or not! There's one thing I've learnt this cycle is that symptom spotting and speculation only makes you feel bad.
I've just thought, maybe it's the full moon that's made our end of cycles so weird neetie, kitten, flowers? (Told you I was a hippybird !)

Angst!!

Ooh! And say for the smiley face glitter!

I meant yay!

I'm not at the docs tomorrow! I think it's someone else?!
hippy - yes at least cycle over now.
I'm cd9 tomorrow- full of optimism- I'm pathetic really, you'd think after 19 months I'd calm down

Don't worry hippy, I am resolutely not testing unless a couple days late. Even refused to put my purse in my bag when leaving for work so I can't go out and buy them DBAFD1 so one way or another I will know soon.

Oh sorry kitten I must have misread.. Good luck for who over is at dr's this morning! I forgot who wrote it

Thanks hippy

I've just downloaded that baby making bible, heard so many good reports about it!

I'm off to the Drs this morning! Thanks all! Think she will just send me back for more bloods as this round is most likely screwed now because of crazy cycle

Great news Glitter! FX for you this month!

Any more spotting Hippy?

I must say I questioned the full moon too! Anyway it's CD39 and VERY light spotting again! Who the F knows what is going on but I am really hoping its AF! I need to write this cycle off and move on!

Sorry! I always get the Mrs confused!!
Good luck at the docs today Flowers! I hope you get some answers! It must be very weird to have a 39 day cycle if you're not used to it!
Snowy sending relaxing vibes to you! Not long to wait now!
Kitten only a tiny bit of spotting this morning, hope she shows her face promptly, and doesn't keep me waiting!! I'm actually glad to have work to keep me busy today. And I feel less hormonal today - phew! I've been so hormonal all weekend. Horrid. Last period I didn't get PMT at all!
Have a good day all!

Can't bloody believe it! Just about to leave for Drs when the phone rings - it's the surgery saying she is not in today and it's been cancelled! So still no AF and still no closer to any answers! Really annoyed!

Good luck mrs! Have you taken a test in the last couple of days? That light spotting sounds confusing.
snowy - I'm impressed with your will power!
hippy - sorry to hear about spotting but onwards and upwards with next cycle! I've heard back from acupuncture clinic, they're sending me out a fertility questionnaire- that should be straightforward to fill out - I'm not fertile at all!

Oh no mrs! Just seen your post. Have you got a test in you could do?

We were all typing at the same time

I took a test Wednesday and yesterday morning - BFN which I am not surprised about. I just think it is a weird cycle (not unheard of right?) either that or it is something more sinister

mrs - yes could just be a weird longer cycle - it happens a lot. Try not to worry, it's bloody frustrating though. Maybe you ovulated a lot later than you thought. It's happened to me before

Kitten if i had will power I wouldn't have had to leave my purse at home today

Hippy I need all the relaxing vibes i can get. I'm an accountant and this being the end of tax return season its one of my busiest weeks of the year and all i can do is run out to the toilet to see if AF has arrived or not. If she is going to make an appearance this month i hope she does it promptly as i don't know if my job career can handle all the distraction this week

Hi ladies, thought I would pop back to say hi. I had a really good month of 'relaxing' - filling my time with yoga and work and actually did quite a good job of not thinking about TTC. Then CD22 had bright red bleeding - I never get bleeding that early - so even though we had barely DTD I started to get excited and think it might be implantation. Anyway, then AF came few days later so was just a weird short cycle. More babybombs on Saturday too - an old work colleague - 3rd baby. Anyway, its back to the yoga and I am thinking its time to give acupuncture a go too. Good luck to all of you. Xxx

PIRSY!!! Lovely to hear from you lady. I am sorry about AF but pleased you feel relaxed. Do drop back in when you can, keeping all crossed for you this cycle xxx

Hi all, just checking in at lunchtime. Still just very lightly spotting! I wish it would just hurry up and come. I've got horrid period headache, cramps, back-ache, and my boobs are getting weird stabbing pains. Don't know why I'm so hormonal this month, but hoping it will go away soon!
Sorry not to respond properly to anyone. Will check in properly this eve!
Welcome back Pirsy! Sorry about your weird short cycle! At least you're on to the next one now! X
