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 Confused
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 ladies Smile With everything with my mum I have been so stressed out and down lately. I really hope this is the start of good things for me and my family in 2016.

Stats: 33, TTC #1, cycle 11. Typically (and bloody annoying, I know) as everyone says, this was the one month I haven't thought about it. Had so much to deal with and been focusing on helping my mum and dad as she has chemo, I don't even know when my FW was!

Might not be on here much as have been so busy lately, but if it's ok I might stick around with you guys for a while... I am in total shock and not sure it has sunk in yet!!!

XxxX

PrtyPsn · 12/03/2016 06:58

glitterpoppy · 14/03/2016 18:48

I can't believe it.. CD22 and I've git a positive OPK, I might have a normal length cycle this month compared to the CD152 last time! Fingers crossed this will be a good one!

glitterpoppy · 14/03/2016 18:49

*got not git

PrtyPsn · 15/03/2016 06:54

Yea!! Excellent glitter hop on the good foot and do the bad thing ;)
FW rapidly approaching here, feeling like I'm gonna be stuck in the cycle of DTD and bfn forever (sigh)

Poppy that's brill!

Prty I know exactly how you feel. Excitement with each 2ww is decreasing for me too.

I dont know what's going on with me. I had another go with OPKs on Sat because we were struggling to DTD because of work and shifts etc. I was happy Sat tests were neg (that was CD12) but then Sun, Mon and this morning all pretty dark. So not sure if prolonged LH surge / still gearing up for ov or if this is related to PCOS. Managed to DTD Sun and yest. Just gotta keep in going I guess and hope for the best.

Pirsy1 · 15/03/2016 08:35

I told DH we should try hard this month for a Christmas baby!

glitterpoppy · 16/03/2016 07:43

How is everyone? It was my birthday yesterday, had a lovely day off work with the DH and our puppy.. Back to the office today. Gosh I hate it there at the moment. Also in the TWW too.. It would no so nice to get a BFP this time!

snowy1982 · 16/03/2016 08:20

Happy belated birthday glitter Cake. I am in the home stretch of TWW (DBAFD 5). Trying to keep myself distracted, flat out with work at the minute so it's mostly working, but the crazy still creeps in from time to time

PrtyPsn · 16/03/2016 09:58

pirsy I'm growing to dread TWW rather rhab be excited, feel like I already know what the end will be before it even starts :/
FW officially starts tomorrow so will muster up some positivity from somewhere!
Happy belated birthday glitter it's my birthday this week too!!
snowy almost there! Keep us updated x

snowy1982 · 16/03/2016 10:39

Why is it that the TWW feels like a lifetime. The 2 weeks between AF and ovulation go by in blink of an eye, but then the next 2 just drag

glitterpoppy · 16/03/2016 19:04

Thanks ladies, also happy birthday prty for later this week. Ahh there's afew of in the TWW then.. Least we can try keep each other sane!! 😜

Pirsy1 · 17/03/2016 08:11

Hi! Im in the 2ww too now I think. There is a gang of us this month! Had defibitely pos opk Tues night and was quite dark yest morning too. DTD Tues night. Husband was fed up with it so gave it a miss last night! Will maybe try again tonight for good measure. I can already feel time slowing down!

snowy1982 · 17/03/2016 08:55

DBAFD 4 - time has nearly slowed to a halt now

PrtyPsn · 17/03/2016 11:01

Come on snowy nearly there!!
pirsy I reckon with Easter coming your TWW will fly by!
FW starts today, wasting no time and already DTD - feel like a swot getting a teachers special badge for hard workers pahahahaha!!

snowy1982 · 17/03/2016 12:53

Well I have a busy weekend ahead so hopefully it will go quickly.

PrtyPsn · 17/03/2016 17:29

snowy1982 · 17/03/2016 19:28
