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

Morning, just catching up.....
glitter - that sounds good about your results. Fingers crossed for the SA being fine next time.
mummy - I know, can't believe it either but think we'll get lots of BFPs soon to make up for it.
Loving the idea of a pee off, good luck! Any news lucy and snowy?
prty - sorry about BFN but I would have tested too in your shoes. Try not to worry about the doctors - it's a step in the right direction for you, keep us updated.

Pirsy resolve may not hold, but I am trying my best (also the longer I can delay the next BFN the longer I can daydream about a happy outcome)

We must all be checking in at the same time

Cross posting!
snowy - sounds very promising, think your BFP will be here in the morning then

Sorry about the bfn prty and good luck at the doctors.

Thanks fir your support ladies, you're definitely helping me feel less worried than I was.

snowy I admire you for waiting I'd have tested by now!!

Pahahahaha like we all jump out of bed, check our knickers, POAS then log on you ladies are fab!

I was actually up checking my knickers a lot earlier, only I couldn't get on to log for ages this morning, the thread was missing. Have been in work for an hour already (2 instances of knicker watching ).

Glitter my theory is that I should wait the length of time the test suggested, also I am trying to delay the bad news.

Kitten ahhhh, you're supposed to be keeping me sane and realistic, not fueling my daydreams

Greetings!! Just got to work- POAS this morning and there is a definite faint line on the FRER. Not good enough for photos but can definitely see something IRL and it's darker than the previous one I got. I'm hoping this means that I possibly ovulated a lot later than I thought I did according to OPKs and that I am actually pregnant. I will however wait until probably next week now to see if I can obtain a darker line- hopefully it wasn't an evap line!! AF still definitely MIA, lots of creamy discharge but nothing much else going on (unless you count lots of bloaty cramping last night which is probably much more likely to be the curry I had haha!!)

I literally did jump out of bed, have a quick feel to check colour and then grab a FRER!!

Sorry about the BFN prty but it does at least mean that you can give the doctor a starting point!! Good luck!!

Sounds like you are winning the pee off Lucy - definitely very promising

Excellent lucy we want pics when it's visible!!!
In other news, I'm the infertility queen :/
GP was lovely and bloody gorgeous to boot, trust me to be talking to him about my broken fango told him all about the issue with 21 day bloods vs my cycle dates and the drama I had with nurses, he totally agreed with me and said they were wrong (ha!) as it turns out I had a 29 day cycle so day 21 bloods were 6dpo... however, my progesterone score was 10, devastatingly low :( he's referred me to fertility clinic so just have to wait for a letter

Prty sorry about the results, you deserve and . Have yourself a weep or a rage, or even go shopping (always helps me) and then look for the positives. You are getting the referral which is a step in the right direction (even if it is off the path for how you wanted to get there) and you were right and the nurses were wrong

Seriously this is driving me crazy, cannot concentrate in work at all. Also, I am supposed to be going out for pizza for lunch and i LOVE goats cheese on my pizza, now i have read that there are some types of goats cheese that are bad when your pregnant, so should i avoid the goats cheese just in case or should i have the goats cheese as my BFN was pretty clear on Monday (i am definitely going crazy right now)

I am also going mildly insane as I can't take the only antihistamines that actually work on me because they are the only ones that aren't recommended during pregnancy. My stupid face is all itchy and runny and I can't do anything about it "just in case" and it's making me more irrational than usual

Unsure about the goats cheese- I would probably just go with it? Although I can't say that I'm applying the same logic to myself!!

I want to go cry/rock in a corner...

Well i skipped the goats cheese and the pizza really suffered for it . Feeling a little weird now, a little flushed and queasy since eating, i am well aware it is probably all in my imagination.

Really trying not to get my hopes up here, but its hard when I am always so regular. BUT, I keep reminding myself that something like this has happened once before. Last August i was 8 days late, kept testing, kept getting BFN, but convinced myself the tests were wrong, then AF turned up and i was heartbroken. I am convinced it is gong to be the same again.

Think i may join you in the corner Lucy

waves

Can I join knicker watch too? Stopped taking cerelle on Sunday and driving myself nuts checking to see if AF has shown up...

Keeping FX for you Lucy and Snowy.

Hoping for a quick referral and easy treatment Prty

Definitely come and join knickerwatch!!

I still have no AF, I feel exactly like I would usually on day 3/4 of her arrival; heavy legs, lower back pain and pain behind my left knee. I feel like I should be on but I'm not!! Considering I'm about 15/16/17DPO (provided my ovulation tests were correct) then surely I should have more than a squinter of a line that I may or may not be imagining?? Anyway I'm now taking a new approach- OPKs every day to see what they tell me!!

Snap on the lower back pain Lucy although I am known to suffer from back pain from time to time so not reading too much into it either way.

Still nothing here by the way, but still have a general feeling that I am getting my hopes up over nothing. Testing again in the morning if AF still MIA.

Tortured myself this afternoon reading stories of people who didn't get a BFP until 2-3 weeks after AF due

It's just such a typical AF symptom- achy back with left hip pain only really happens when she's in full flow! Blergh!! Glad it's not just me torturing myself with "BFP after BFN" stories!! Fingers crossed for the morning!! Knickerwatch reveals nothing for a change

Last knickerwatch update of the night, still nothing. POAS in the morning if still no appearance, although for some reason I have a feeling it won't be necessary. No symptoms of AF but just have a feeling she is going to make an appearance before the morning

Still absolutely bugger all on the knickerwatch front here either!! Boo!! We shall see what morning brings- fingers crossed for you snowy

Still no AF but still a BFN!!!

Spoke too soon, AF has just arrived. Knickerwatch is officially over for another month

Sorry about AF snowy

No AF here, just horrible cramps- could hardly touch my belly last night they were so horrid. Very weepy this morning for absolutely no reason- actually it's probably lack of sleep. Refusing to waste more money on tests as I'm convinced I'm not pregnant, just a weirdo!!

Welcome ardaphant (your username messed with my head and didn't know which bit to choose - tell me if you want a name change!) hoping AF returns for you soon x
snowy sorry to hear your stint of knicker watch is over this month :(
lucy I think you need to test again soon, lovely x

(Glad it's not just me who didn't know which bit of ardaphants name to choose!!)

May test again Sunday, we shall see!
