Hi (big wave)
So you clicked on here because 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/2531973-Christmas-is-here-but-its-not-the-turkey-thats-getting-basted-with-symptoms-to-spot-and-festive-cheer-Prty-and-the-gang-are-getting-BFPS-this-year?pg=39&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.
4. This thread is intended for support - both giving and receiving. If someone helps you then please be kind and return that to another TTCer.

So that's it, jump in and FX'd for all of my lovelies xx

Sorry about the baby bombs prty I hate them! They totally tip me over the edge!! I'm expecting baby announcements soon, one from a kind of friend who should have her baby any day and the other from the friend who go married the week before me who should have hers any day too. She's the constant reminder for me that I should have one by now. I hate it.

Definite AF two days early hopeful implantation bleed

Thread seems to have disappeared...

Im here Prty! How are you? Do you think AF or IB?

Hi pirsy! Weird, the thread isn't showing in 'Conception'
Too heavy for IB, too light for AF but I expect it will increase

Thats strange ... I can see it in Conception.

I hate that when you sort of know you're out but you're still hoping. Well you never know - it might be IB. AF isnt due til Mon so lets see what happens. Have you got a good distracting weekend?

Just about to go in for a fertility reflexology appointment. Don't actually know if I put much faith in these sorts of things, but at the very least it might help my stress levels and if it helps with TTC I will be a convert for life

Acupuncture definitely worked for me last time

Well it was definitely relaxing so I will be going back for another go

It's AF :( 2 days early. Desire not feeling pg this cycle, I'm devastated.

*despite

I'm really sorry PP

Sorry Prty, have a wee weep or a rage or whatever works for you (chocolate goes without saying) and then recharge yourself and start thinking positively about the next cycle

Sorry Prty. Have a good cry and let it all out. Hope your DP is looking after you.

Sorry prty grab some chocolate and cake or maybe ice cream to make yourself feel better

Sorry Prty....big hugs. Our time will come xx

I've actually gone abit crazy.. Tonight I've created a new board on Pinterest titled nursery and been pinning nursery ideas I like... I actually don't help myself feel better! My friend announced the birth of their baby today and although I was happy for them, the amount of pictures and congratulations messages I'm seeing is driving me slightly insane.

Hi everyone
Thanks for all your lovely messages the other day when I was gutted about af turning up. It really did hit me hard. Yes I am going to go back to the doctors - I actually rang last week but they have a silly system where you have to ring at a set time to get appointments after work time. I'm going to push for some investigations to be done on the nhs. I know I wouldn't be eligible for treatment but surely they can have a look for me.
prty - I'm so sorry lovely. I know exactly what you're going through. And sorry you had the babybombs too, they really are the worst. I still haven't recovered from the one I got a few weeks ago and am actively avoiding the girl now, pathetic I know but I just can't take it - seeing her growing bump, and just feeling insanely jealous and bitter that it's not me.
snowy - I had reflexology last year for a few months, I found it really relaxing too, glad you enjoyed it.

Hi peeps!
Ttc #1
cycle 6 of ttc
8 months off the pill and 29yo! Normal cycles and relatively healthy lifestyle! 3 weeks late and a very definite negitive! Hard not be disheartened!! Aaahhhh!!

Thanks all. Been a tough day, long distance travel to see OHs family (including a baby) too many 'your turn next' comments.
kitten that's my next step, when I finally get an appointment! Good side if AF being early us my 21 day bloods are only a day or two out rather than four so hopefully it might help...
lovetropic welcome :) try not to panic, it can take up to a year for the pill to come out of your system or maybe it will be a BFP, just a bitblatebjn showing up!

Prtypsn travel doesnt help either!

Poppy I totally know where you're coming from. Sometimes I go into John Lewis and just walk around all the baby stuff. Then I have to give myself a little shake and realise I jist torturing myself.

Kitten Im glad you're going back to the doctors.

Prty that sounds like a very tough day. You just want to screm 'when's it going to be my turn?!'

Welcome to the group Lovetropic. Hope AF turns up soon or better soon a BFP.

Reflexology sounds good Snowy. Anything to help relieve stress is good I think.

I think its FW this week. Going to be a bit tricky I think because DH is on long days at work and I am away at a course Weds night. We DTD last night and Im going to try for Tues, Thurs and poss Fri because then Im away at a hen do for the weekend. Not sure how this will go but a girl can try!

Pirsy and Kitten yes i would really recommend it, for relaxation if nothing else. Obviously we talked through all my TTC history, she said on paper i should extremely healthy from a fertility point of view so she was surprised that we weren't having any luck. She did advise me to find out what hospital my GP had referred me to and to contact them directly, she said that had helped some of her other clients speed up the referral process.

In other news, I had been talking to my mum about the long referral wait at the weekend and she has told me that if I want to go privately she will give me the money for it. It is such a tempting offer but my parents have given me so much in the past that I don't want to take any more (well for now I don't but who knows how desperate I will get waiting on this referral).

Hi everyone! I posted elsewhere before I found this thread :D
So I've been spotting brown for 5 days. Had 2 instances of red drops but everyday I've just spotted brown. However today i tested and got a BFN is it a period or have a tested too early? My periods last 6 days, are heavy and obv red and clots (tmi, sorry!). I have no idea when my period is dude as I'm on day 51 of my cycle and hunk stress has thrown me out of sync.

Is it over for his month or is is too early?

Got through to the hospital - 34 week waiting list (minimum) for referral appointment - which means the earliest I can hope for is the middle of August
