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

If it happens next ovulation day then maybe it will Smile

PrtyPsn · 21/03/2016 17:35

You know if that works we will all be running around under trees before DTD!!

Oh sorry to hear snowy 😩 Yes I think it's meant to be lucky, maybe it's a sign that next time is your time?!

Halfway through TWW for me.. Had a dream last night I did the POAS and was positive. Was so happy.. It was a lovely feeling. Trying to keep positive thoughts.... 😊

Pirsy1 · 21/03/2016 20:03

Sorry about AF snowy! Sounds like a bad day ... hope you're having a good evening.

Husband did his SA on Friday. He was going to do it at home and then drive it up to the hospital. In the end he was running late from work and had to do it there. He thought he wasnt going to be able to manage it but did get something although thinks maybe not a full sample. I hope he doesnt have to do it again because it sounded miserable!

I am feeling pessimistic about this month. Not the right attitude I know! I hope your dream is a premonition Poppy!

PrtyPsn · 22/03/2016 07:20

glitter got my FXd for you! I hate those dreams :/
pirsy hope the SA was enough, it does sound like an ordeal so hopefully he won't have to repeat.
BTW anyone object to me transferring anything said here to the blog? Obviously it's all anonymous and even your MN usernames won't be used. Seems weird to ask since this thread is a public forum anyway but thought I would check!

glitterpoppy · 22/03/2016 07:40

Thanks ladies.. My positive thoughts are rapidly decreasing. I keep think surely is have symptoms by now if we'd conceived and I don't have anything at the minute, I just feel normal (ish)

No problem at all *prty, looking forward to seeing your blog! 😁

Pirsy1 · 22/03/2016 08:09

No I dont mind Prty!

snowy1982 · 22/03/2016 09:24

prty I've no problem with that.

glitter I don't think lack of symptoms at that stage means anything. It is still very early for symptoms to show

Pirsy1 · 22/03/2016 21:17

Watching One Born Every Minute ... maybe some kind of self torture?!! Its even at my local mat hospital at the moment.

PrtyPsn · 22/03/2016 21:39

Thanks lovelies :) xx
glitter when I had my early mc/late chemical I didn't get any symptoms until 10 days past when AF was due. You're not out yet x
pirsy One Born is avoided massively in my house, not sure I could cope :(

glitterpoppy · 22/03/2016 21:40

Thanks snowy need you guys to keep me sane 😳

Oh prty you're good..I couldn't face it!!

glitterpoppy · 22/03/2016 21:40

Sorry meant pirsy

Pirsy1 · 22/03/2016 22:39

I had to turn it off when husband came through eating a sandwich. Yes I think its too early for symptoms yet. One of my friends had a neg test and no symptoms 10 dpo. Then woke up feeling sick and got BFP at 12 dpo.

PrtyPsn · 23/03/2016 12:40

O day was yesterday, since last night I've been having a weird churny kinda feeling around my ovaries... sure it's all in my head though!

OP posts:
snowy1982 · 23/03/2016 13:24

That is a weird one prty.

Have come to the realisation that once I get over the disappointment of being barren, I actually enjoy AF being here. It almost feels like a week of relaxation, when for once my every other thought isn't about TCC

PrtyPsn · 23/03/2016 15:27

You are not barren snowy there's always hope, lovely xx can see your point about the relaxation of AF though

OP posts:
glitterpoppy · 23/03/2016 15:39

I think I work it out as I'm 9dpo (I think). There's time yet then ladies.. I'm not out yet! Trying to forget it and concentrate on a long weekend off work. Plus it my 1st wedding anniversary too at the weekend so going to look forward to a lovely weekend away (I've been with DH 8 years altogether though). Grin

snowy1982 · 23/03/2016 17:36

Well not barren, but barren for the month at least prty

Definitely not out glitter, you're not out until AF shows herself. Happy anniversary Smile

PrtyPsn · 23/03/2016 20:46

Not barren then snowy more like fallow Grin
glitter you are so not out yet!! Keep the focus on your lovely weekend away then it will almost be POAS time x

OP posts:
glitterpoppy · 23/03/2016 20:51

Thanks snowy and prty I think I'll test when I am back on Monday if AF hasn't arrived!

PrtyPsn · 24/03/2016 08:00

It's gonna be a long TWW in the Prty house... 2dpo and I swear I feel nauseous Hmm it's gonna be one of those cycles Angry

OP posts:
snowy1982 · 24/03/2016 08:35

Just try and keep yourself distracted prty get yourself a TWW project. This time round mine was searching for better pet insurance, last cycle it was remortgaging. Anything to keep yourself busy

PrtyPsn · 24/03/2016 13:41

And a newborn baby in the office :(
Maternity leave - so why are you at work? Please remind me not to keep 'popping in' when my time comes!!

OP posts:
Pirsy1 · 25/03/2016 16:57

Im starting to feel pre-menstrual. Dont think Im going to be having a Christmas baby!

Hope everyone's having a good bank holiday. Xx

glitterpoppy · 25/03/2016 17:17
