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

Hi gurlzzzz ... hope everyone is ok! Sun is back out today which is a bonus. Re the DTD question we tend to DTD before bed during the week so I just go to sleep and hope for the best. I came away on a course yesterday but back home today so hopefully will be able to keep to my EOD schedule if we DTD tonight!

Evening ladies, I had a lovely day out today with DH and my dad. We went to a big agricultural show, the sun was shining (I even got a touch of sunburn) we checked out the animals and all the machinery, sampled some amazing food and bought some gorgeous steaks for a BBQ for when we got home. I had a brilliant day which after a horrible week I really needed

Glad you've been out enjoying the sun pirsy and snowy it does seem to make everything better!
A gruelling trip home from OHs family for me this week after so much questioning about our own lack of 'a little family' and when do we 'plan to start' grrr!!! Coupled with returning to work and there firing a huge system failure... well, I'm ready to hit the wine tonight!!

Prty you would think OH family would know better than to ask questions like that, whether or not they have been told explicitly what is going on, they should have the sense to know better.

Happy Friday everyone!

Just into the fertile window for me so fingers crossed for a bullseye! ;)

Had a baby bomb this morning (meh)...an ex announced he was going to be a father next month. Why a vane, pompous, narcissistic bum like him should be blessed is beyond me but hey! I'm still standing, as Elton sang :P

Wishing everyone a great weekend!

X

So DBAFD2 (well I think, officially it is due Sunday morning but as I ovulated a day late it is more likely to be Monday) and I cannot stop thinking about POAS - I never test unless I am late but it is all I can think about doing today, I have a feeling it is going to be a looong weekend

Day 3 of FW... Busy at work and can't even be bothered to DTD because I'm so damn tired!

12 months of this so far, feels never ending!!

Prty are you actually back on the wine?! I keep saying I'll quit.... I usually last three days! Lol

snowy they don't know we are TTC but I agree that people should have more sense in general. Why isn't it perceived as rude to ask about someone's sex life and intentions?!
bex no but I'm on the edge this week!!

the night I conceived last year I'd had a bailey's...or two obviously it didn't end well (mmc) so not advocating it.. although the two aren't related ....but seriously considering bagging a bottle on my way home!

I haven't given up drink while TTC but I drink on so few occasions (and when I do it's not heavily) that I don't think it will really hurt.

Prty my MIL knows we are TTC but she never asks about it, and if she hears anyone else asking she always says 'they've plenty of time yet' so thankfully I don't have that pressure - she really struggled TTC herself so she knows how it feels. Although we do have a guy in work how is a bit unique, and he doesn't have any boundaries, almost every week since we got married he asks me if I'm pregnant yet. Its so frustrating, but he is a special case and he really doesn't understand that he shouldn't ask questions like that

Hi everyone - hope you all have a lovely weekend.
snowy - how are you doing lovely? Are you waiting til Monday to test?
karry - sorry you had a baby bomb - it really is a mystery how some people are blessed like you say but that seems to be the way it always goes.
I avoided a social event last night as I knew there was a friend going who would be proudly showing off her bump whilst people would be asking me why I wasn't. I honestly couldn't face it, I think I'd have ended up crying/losing my temper. I don't want to see bumps, it's hard enough as it is without having to plaster on a smile whilst feeling like a complete failure.

Kitten yeah I will only test if I am actually late, although the temptation to nip up to the chemist to buy a test is really strong this time. I'm ok, just been feeling very odd this week, really unusual pains since Tuesday, it doesn't feel like the usual pre AF pains, it's more like a feeling of pressure, but that means f all I'm afraid, it could still be pre AF. I'll just have to wait and see

snowy - that sounds promising - I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you. Yes I can understand the temptation would be strong!

I don't know about promising Kitten, generally my pre AF symptoms are always just a mild cramping, but every so often my body plays tricks on me and sends me some different one and then I get my hopes up just to be disappointed all over again, so I am trying my very hardest (and it is so hard) not to read too much into it this time round

snowy yes my body does the same to me. Every month it's something different that manages to get my hopes up - but it's always just a cruel trick and mind games, it's vile. I truly hate ttc. Hopefully for you it's not just a trick though

Getting less and less hopeful, some normal feeling pre AF pains earlier today, they have disappeared again but still believe AF is imminent

So here I am at the business end of TWW. AF officially due today but as I ovulated a day late am not expecting it until tomorrow, it's going to be a long day or two

snowy - yes it is going to be a long couple of days. Hopefully af stays well away. Are you going to test or just wait til it's late?

Just gonna wait to see if it is late or not. Had some pre AF like niggles yesterday afternoon, but nothing since then.

Snowy fingers crossed! I hope this month is the one!

I have been at a hen party this weekend. My close friends know we are trying and that we have been for a while etc. My oldest friend told me that they have started trying for number 2 so I am already thinking that she is going to be announcing a pregnancy soon and Im still going to be trying! At least Im prepared. Xx

snowy FXd so tightly for you, lovely xx

Trying so hard to talk myself out of going to the chemist for a test, don't know why I am struggling so much this month

Its a tricky one Snowy but I would try to resist the urge. If AF doesnt show tomorrow buy one on the way home to use on Tuesday morning.

Pirsy I keep repeating that to myself, so far it's working, might get DH to hide my keys

Well the shops are officially closed and I resisted going out to buy a test. It was a very close call, especially after I had another bird poo incident when out walking the pups, really had to talk myself out of seeing that as a sign that I should get one
