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

Keep us posted jod sounds interesting!

No AF yet, definitely feels like it's on it's way though, had cramps when I woke up this morning

So after the cramping all day yesterday again I was convinced I was going to wake up to a full blown AF but nothing first time I peed at all and then went again there and a little brown discharge when I wiped. Boobs are tingling and cramps present but not as strong. Had a headache when I woke up too.
AF could be slowly taking her time to make her appearance though. Just waiting it out! I'll let you know if she appears!

AF has most definately arrived over here! So cd1, cycle #5 lets have you.

That's the spirit ghost no pun intended!
jod keep us up to date!
glitter it ain't over til it's over!

Nada happening here except constant need to pee?! Was just thinking (IF) I am PG how will they date me? Will they take me on ovulation date as I haven't had a period? If it is ovulation date I would be due 20th Decemeber! How long would you hold out before testing if you were me?

Personally, I try to wait until I'm late so at least 14dpo. Not sure how there would date you jod lol! A guess until scan??

I would test when you are 4 weeks after the removal of mirena - which I think will be around 20th April. Difficult to know what the bleeding is - could be implanation, start of AF or things settling after removal of mirena. Fingers crossed you get a BFP!

14days PO is next Monday. I THINK I can do that lol! I might cave at weekend though. I don't think I can wait till the 20th April although probably should.

Another day, another BFN. Why do I do it to myself? I think I'm not going to test anymore and just wait for AF.

Hugs glitter when is the witch due?

glitter solidarity, sister! I'm DBAFD 1, just bloody caved because I had 'a good feeling' BFN and now I'm having period cramps! Join me in ploughing through a family sized rib of ice cream?

I thought it was due 6 days ago, but then again I have PCOS and very irregular cycles so think I've totally misjudged everything. I had a positive OPK a while ago which made me think I was ovulating but now I'm doubting I did.. With PCOS, your hormone levels can be raised so OBKs don't always work.i should have learnt my lesson by now!

I could have ice cream prty yummy

Did somebody say ice cream? I'm in, af will be here soon a reckon.
Sorry for BFNs glitter and prty

I have a large stash of creme eggs too.

Sorry about the BFN Prty. Hugs for you. Enjoy the ice-cream. What is your next move? Are you going to see the doctor, or persevere a bit longer first?

Poppy I know PCOS is such a pain because of the irregular / anovulatory cycles. It makes it really hard to predict when you are fertile. Just remember that they can give you medicines to get you ovulating which have good success rates. Did you ring up to chase up your results / appointment?

Kitten I hope your laid back approach this cycle is going to yield a BFP. Ive got my fingers crossed.

I am on CD7 now so in that nice relaxing bit before FW hits and I have to start trying to get DH to have sex every other day. Now that we know he has good swimmers, I rung up the GP today and they are going to refer us to the fertility clinic so things are going forward.

I love creme eggs!! Count me in for those too
Thanks pirsy - I'm pretty sure there's not a bfp waiting for me. I had cramps and lower back ache this afternoon so af is definitely gearing up to break my heart yet again. That's really positive about the referral and cd7 is good - the calm before the storm! I swear my dh has not got the first clue of how conception occurs - he thinks that when we dtd last night it could have been the one - he's about a week out!

Oh dear, why don't our OH seem to get as obsessed as us?!
Slight change in cm colour today, reckon it will be full blown AF before dinner :(
Think I'm gonna call the docs, it's been a full year now. Problem is they do not let you pre book appointments and they generally only have them in work time

prty - I know, they don't have a clue sometimes.
Sorry to hear about impending af. Yes it's worth going to docs- my docs is exactly the same - can't pre book, always work time - so frustrating

Hi everyone, sorry was a little AWOL there, was deep in the middle of a painful FW - really felt like such a chore this time round - and was feeling very down with it so decided to give the group a wide birth so as not to bring anyone down with me. So, back into the TWW I go.

Stats for all the newbies - I'm 33, TTC #1 and on cycle 18 - starting fertility testing and my bloods and DH SA all came back clear so waiting for the referral appointment for the next round of tests.

pirsy phoned the docs but they couldn't tell me anything, they said I should ring the hospital and see if they could tell me anything. Phoned the hospital and they couldn't tell me anything either and just said I'd need to wait for the 3 month review appointment. She did say shed try get on to book it in but with the waiting times I'm looking at end of May anyway!! Grr.. Waiting so long drives you mad!!

pirsy waiting times really frustrate me, if i am seriously tempted to go private for all of this.

Hi all - found you! Great title!

Not sure if I should even post here, I don't want to upset anyone, but I still don't feel ready to go over to the grads pages - I don't know them and I like you ladies!

I am sorry so many of you are having a crappy time, if it's any consolation I am not having the best time either... I had an early scan today as had some bleeding. Apparently bleeding is very common (according to nurse in EGU), but it totally freaked me out. All is fine - incubating a 7+4 blueberry and saw a heartbeat... Feel shaken up but better than this morning. Am constantly worried though. Although I'm happy, it's like there is always this anxiety... The wait to 12 weeks is like the TWW on slow mo without even the prospect of wine

Hello to all newbies and fingers crossed for you! These ladies are the best and can help you through anything.

Glitter and Prty sorry for the BFNs, keeping all crossed for you. You never know what can happen and it ain't over till AF arrives or, as in my case, it ain't necessary over even if you think she has! There is hope. Huge hugs to you Kitten over the baby bomb and also to Snowy. Sorry it's been so tough for you both lately. Great news about OH's swimmers Pirsy! Hope they swim like Olympic gold winners and bring it home this FW! Welcome back Bex - missed you and hope you are doing OK.

Honestly hope I don't annoy anyone by posting, the last thing I want to do is come over all smug and patronising... I do know how you all feel and I am keeping all crossed for everyone. Much love xxxx

Hi mrsflowers I have had 2 DC and I am just like you described in the 12WW. Is this your first?

flowers really nice to see you :) you are more than welcome here, always will be, lovely xx sorry you've had a rough time but happy news of heartbeat!!
snowy (hugs) you should have come and ranted here - don't worry about dragging us down, we are here to help and support. Glad you have got through it and into the TWW :)
So AF ain't here yet... I can feel it though in my foof bones.

snowy - sorry you were feeling down. Hope your 2ww passes quickly.
glitter - how frustrating- waiting drives me mad too
mrsflowers - glad all okay with your scan, sorry you've been having such a rough time. You aren't smug or patronising, it's good to hear from you.
prty - good news af not arrived - hope it stays away.
I have my usual pre af brown cm so onto cycle 23 for me. I'm desperate now, can't believe I'm at the 2 year mark soon. Beyond gutted

As has become my way for the TWW, I have a new project on the go to keep me distracted, this time I am laptop searching (this whole TTC malarkey is turning out a bit expensive with all my distraction projects)
