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

Think that was my worst smear experience kitten apparently my cervix just wasn't playing ball today

Awww poor you snowy no fun being a woman is it??
kitten nope, keep getting the odd cramp my twinge but she's not here yet. Trying not to get too hopeful everytine I wipe and it's clear because I know she's on her way :(

snowy - sorry it was a bad experience, I'm dreading mine too.
prty - wasn't af due today? I'd be excited if I were you

Yeah kitten due today... the BFN has convinced me that it's not my cycle this time round. No sign of her this evening, just still those few niggly cramps

prty - maybe you ovulated a bit later so there's still chance for you? If there's no af then I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you x

Maybe... I'm thinking it's probably anovulatory cycle, time will tell I guess!

Hi all, I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you prty your not out yet!

snowy I feel for you, it's awful isn't it? Least it's done now though.

Well had my X-ray Monday, it was awful.. Hated it. They said it would be like a smear so I though it wouldn't be too bad. I just didn't expect it which made it worse. It was so painful and uncomfortable when they injected the dye ad then when it was over I just burst into tears. I felt like such a wimp!! Think my DH wondered what the hell had happened when he saw me in the hospital gown looking like I'd been punched in the face had abit of a stomach ache since but not too bad. At least it's done now though and just need to wait to go back to discuss everything.

glitter that sounds awful. I have a feeling I will be experiencing it myself soon.

Well FW has begun and have decided to not use OPK's this time and just go the old fashioned every other day routine. It's a small thing but hope it will help us relax a bit this time round.

Aww glitter sorry it was such a horrible experience :( at least it's over and you can start moving forward x
snowy happy humping ;)

glitter - sorry it was so horrible. But as you say at least it's done now and you can go and discuss everything.
prty - have you tested?

Thanks prty

kitten yeah, another BFN, still no AF :(

prty - sorry to hear that lovely, how frustrating for you. If no af though you never know, fingers crossed x

I know, don't know what to think, I can't let myself get too hopeful because 2 BFNs is pretty telling :(

It ain't over until she appears prty

Haha I know I say that all the time to you lovelies snowy I'm just being an unhopeful misery today!

We all have those days

Still no AF, still BFN :( was so bloody sure I felt Ov pain this cycle but looks like it's been anovulatory- typical!

Thanks ladies. Sorry to hear that prty why are our bodies so bloody hard to figure out?!
CD11 for me so I'm just going to concentrate into trying to DTD at least every other day until my FW I think, then everyday. That's my plan until I have to go back to the hospital to discuss my results!

Sounds like a plan glitter if you're OH manages that can we all borrow him?!

glitter - good plan
prty - sorry you're in limbo but I'm still hoping for you.
Just needed a rant. Colleagues talking and one says she wants another baby but they're not ttc yet but will probably have a go on holiday and get pregnant then. It makes me sooooo angry, just so bloody casual about it because it's that easy is it? Makes me feel like such a failure.

Kitten it is so frustrating to hear people talk like that, when your struggling with TTC it seems like everyone else just has to think about it and their there. But after a chat with my mum this week i realised just how common TTC problems are, its just people don't talk about it (maybe its still seen as a taboo topic), but discovered that 3 of my cousins struggled for years before it happened for them (all of them got there in the end and all naturally as well) they just didn't talk about it. Made me feel a little better about things.

Glitter, i second prty request

kitten I hate when people do that! Like getting pregnant is just that easy!! Grrr!!
Had a baby bomb today, she's really lovely and I want to be happy for her... stings though :/

Haha ladies... My DH will love the chance to do it every other day!!

What a trooper!! He can do the rounds then pahahahaha
