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

Hi ladies, sorry I've been absent for few days. Been really busy at work. In fact stayed late tonight to do paperwork but computer kept crashing so had to give up and come home ... so frustrating!

Prty I'm sorry you're in limbo. Maybe you ovulated later than usual this month ... maybe there is still some hope ... but it's annoying - you just want to know wher you are!

Poppy HSG sounds horrible. Think I will be having one soon enough too ... at least it is done now and you can get some answers.

Snowy you are right. My mum told me that it seems like everyone gets pregnant straight away because that's only the people you hear about but lots of people struggle. It still is rubbish being in the struggling group though!

Someone at work went off on mat leave this week ... so jealous!

Sorry you've been having such a crazy week pirsy hope it settles down for you soon x
And I agree, it is rubbing being in the struggling group (with the exception of having you lovelies to compare notes with!)
AF is now 3 days late... no sign of her at all, last bfn was yesterday. Didn't test this morning for my own sanity, will be buying some tests today though because I've been using the same ICs all week and want to rule out that they aren't a dodgy batch!

Any news prty?

Yeah, BFN this morning and AF this afternoon :( marking it as anovulatory since cycle was 36 days

Sorry to hear that prty - was keeping everything crossed for you. Yes it certainly sounds it, why do our bodies do these cruel things to us. Look after yourself and spoil yourself tonight if you can X

Hi all another crazy week here...on tww but we only managed a couple of dtd so not too hopeful. Got smear results back and all clear, next step is to get a sperm sample kit for hubby and go from there.

Sorry to hear that prty

Good news about the smear results neetie

Why do I do it to myself, browsing through Facebook and I swear to god it is full of happy Mother's Day from the bump posts. I don't know why but it's really annoyed me.. Ok I maybe just jealous but... Grr

Back into the dreaded TWW. For some reason I have a good feeling about this month, had it all during FW, was very relaxed about it, EWM was all good, DTD every other, including yesterday when I felt my ovulation pains. But as nice as it is feeling optimistic I am trying to talk myself out of it as it might only lead to disappointment.

Grrr, hate the TWW!!!

Sounds good snowy, you've got every chance this month esp with DTD every other day. You just need to keep positive.. I've a feeling this could be your time

CD15 for me.. I'm hoping the provera I had to take last time might have kick started my cycle and I'm really keeping my fingers crossed for a more normal cycle. I've got my OPK to do when I get in from work.

Fingers crossed glitter

It's a weird one cos I am feeling positive this month but don't want to feel too positive incase I get my hopes up too much

I know what you mean it's so hard isn't it?

I've just took my CB OPK and its showing high fertility! I hope I haven't done it too late as not DTD in 2 days ( my DTD every other day plan hasn't gone to plan!!) I might actually have a normal length cycle this month

Get another DTD in this evening to give yourself that extra chance

It was one of those CB that flashes at high fertility and has a static smiley face when it's peak so hoping I'll have afew chances yet as was flashing. DTD last night anyway so fingers crossed this time!

Those are the ones I normally use. They tricked me last time, was expecting 2 days of flashy highs before the static peak, but only had 1 flashy before the static so was all confused by it

Last time I had 10

Days of the flashing before the static but that was the really long ridiculous cycle!! Just realised DH is on nights tonight and tomorrow so won't see him till about 4.30/5am.. Grr, I've told him to wake me to DTD. I hope that'll be ok!

We bit of morning glory (or the female version for you)

Haha

Hello guys. I hope everyone is well.

Sorry that I have not had time to check in and for the fact that I haven’t read any recent messages. I am being pretty selfish and checking in for some advice.

Obviously with everything going on with my mum TTC has been totally off the agenda. However, I had a weird AF last week – started as watery red blood with two small/med very dark brown almost black clots (sorry for TMI) and then faded into spotting which was really only on wiping. Lasted just four days and I didn’t have a wear a tampon for any of it (again sorry TMI). In the run up to AF my boobs always get sore at the sides and this usually fades when AF starts and is defo over when she leaves. This time though boobs have been KILLING me, actually has woken me up in the night a few times it is so painful (sides and the fronts, feels like it's behind my nipples??) and is showing no sign of abating a week later.

I do not believe this means I am PG, after all I had a period, but wonder if could be chemical? Either that or there is actually something wrong with my baps - really feels like someone has been using them as a punch bag!!

Have you done a test? Just because you had bleeding doesn't necessarily mean it was a period, esp if it wasn't your normal type of period. Take a test if even to rule out one possibility and if it negative and pain continues try and see a doctor.

The TWW crazy has hit early this cycle, was doing some online shopping and found myself clicking into the maternity wear section and planning what I was going to buy (thankfully I managed to restrain myself from actually purchasing anything). The crazy doesn't usually hit until the second week so am a bit annoyed with myself

Sorry all, busy in all kind of crazy and boring ways!
flowers I would def test!

Boobs still sore. Been feeling feeling really tired and this afternoon light spotting again.

Just tested...

Oh my god.. Congratulations flowers so happy for you!! 😁🎉

Came up straight away!!

Just done a digi and also straight away and at 8pm!!!

IN A STATE OF SHOCK!!!!!
