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

Anyway so tested...and a BFN six days after AF was due to arrive, I think the diet change has just screwed with my cycle just want AF to come now so I can get over his tiny weeny wishing and hoping !! Finger crossed for you tomorrow tho!!

Well I'm definitely not getting my hopes up this month, this cramping has put an end to that

Another month eh.....well I found the excessive vaginal discharge cause...blinking yeast infection!!! Ugggggg

Oh dear TMI

Seven days late, SEVEN DAYS and all I keep getting is BFN. I want to scream and the doctors are rubbish I was in a queue for 1.5 hours to try and book an appointment with the GP and by the time I got to it they had run out!!! Have an appointment for Wednesday where I will request an official referral otherwise begin exploring options to go private....snowy POaS yet ?

No POAS at this stage as technically I'm not due until Thursday, was just expecting it early as ovulated early, but if last cycle taught me anything it's that I can't trust my body anymore. Knicker watch has begun in earnest again though.

Doctors can be a right pain to get through to. Your not too bad able to get an appointment for Wednesday, my docs normally has a 6 week wait for appointments unless you say it's an emergency

Having trouble knicker watching the yeast infection has led me to go commando!! I'm working from home today so rest assured no awkwardness !!

Knicker watching buddies 🙈

The joys of being able to work from home

So a deep wipe saw some browny reddy discharge and I have a blinding headache which is a pre AF sign for me....suppose not long to wait now.....

Still nothing happening here, although I don't think it will be long

Same....waiting....have booked into an appointment tomorrow so they can redo any checks, going to get the hubby tested too, let's see what happens....

Waiting really is the worst

Let's not think about it...that's the only way it gets easier...no silly searches on Google, everyone's body is different and reacts in a different way....if it's meant to be, it will be!

Said a little prayer for all you ladies last night, I hope in time we all get our healthy little babies 🙏🏼

Have to say our little board has been a bit quiet lately.

While I can't deny I am thinking about it a lot, I still think I am handling it better than last month so I'm happy with that. I think holidays, work and exams are keeping me from being too obsessed with what's happening in my knickers

It has been awfully quiet hasn't it :/ knicker watch still has not shown anything up and I'm now 8 days late...

TMI I'm not sure of your circumstances so forgive me if you've already said all this or if you are already doing so!! But I was in your situation before I got my BFP and if it wasn't for OPKs I would never have known that actually I had two surges last month/ month before. I must not have ovulated the month before (I didn't temp so no confirmation either way) and then did about a week after my AF should have been due. Only OPKed as I feel dull pains which (in my mind) could have been ovulation. Could it be that you're having something similar? A double go at ovulation?

Again, apologies if you have already covered this- my brain doesn't work very well at the best of times never mind after 16 hours at work!!

Knicker watch update, a (very) little reddish tinged discharge on wiping. Although this is not normal pre AF behaviour for me, I don't normally notice any coloured discharge before she arrives, but I am pretty sure it's a sign that she is about to come.

Think I will be on the phone to the private clinic tomorrow morning

Snowy is not over till it's over! Either result will be a step closer rotor BFP....Lucy, I'm not sure tbh I have had my prog bloods which say I am ovulating, but my OPKs are never positive, I went through three weeks of consistent testing and not a single positive, let me see what happens over the next couple of days and I might try testing with OPKs again - wouldn't hurt trying !! Thanks

I'm so upset and annoyed, I have just got back from the doctor after having my appointment abruptly ending because I overran on the 10 minutes, I was told my progesterone level are too low they should be in the 30s but are around 2....these are bloods I done back in April, where.l I was told my levels are absolutely fine, so now I have to go through the whole process again when I have no idea when I will be ovulating delaying everything by a further couple of months stupid doctors, could they have not told me in April all they had to do was read Utica a screen!!!!

Just gonna have a good cry 😢

I don't blame you for having a cry TMI, I would do it to what do they plan to do next?

My period still hasn't arrived, it's really getting me frustrated this month, cramping all weekend and then nothing for a few days, coloured discharge last night and again nothing today. Think my cycles are a little bipolar

Well went for another blood test, dr said if my period starts in one week time they could use the tests to review the progesterone level otherwise I need to wait another cycle to get the test results so I hope I get my period in a week otherwise I'll have to go through the whole cycle again and I have no idea where I am in my cycle.

Don't worry snowy, you were expecting to start on Thursday so this would be in line with your usual cycle, although spotting is a sign but don't wanna get your hopes up.... All we can do is wait!! Fingers x'd for you xx

Hello everyone....been a bit quiet as didn't have anything to report...just entering the 2ww now so I'm back on knicker-watch.

Hugs to all x

FX'd crossed for AF then TMI (never thought I'd say that lol)

I wouldn't even call it spotting, it was the smallest wee bit of reddish discharge and only noticed it as was swabbing. Who knows what's going on, as you say tomorrow is officially AF day so maybe I will be better informed them.

Welcome back to knicker watch karryk

And update Snowy?

Karry, knickerwatch is becoming a bit of a sport..! Hopefully his month is the month for you.

Had loads of support from mum and dad yesterday, was quite emotional but nice to get some comfort. Freaked DH out when I burst into tears...getting a lot of cramping for some reason which is weird because I do not really get any cramping at any time of my cycle...just hope AF is delayed for another 5 days!
