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

Glad you're feeling a bit better about things, positivity is the way to go, hopefully I'll be back to feeling positive in a day or so

And AF has now arrived (2 days early) so it is 100% officially over for this cycle

Oh snowy, I'm sorry :( remember it's only 2 real hits and you usually need a few for things to work so keep at it am sure it wil work for both of us :)

P.s. Does it feel as tho we are the only two left on this forum????!

It's beginning to look like that isn't it

So have spoke to clinic, going for a fully stimulated cycle this time as it's the last of my round of three. Going in on Friday for a scan and to get all the drugs and details.

When do you go in for your cycle? I hope this is the one for yo :) spoke to someone at work about the whole ttc situation yesterday - it felt good...and I discovered she is going through her own difficulties.

Blood t sta to look forward to next week :P

Had what they called a baseline scan on Friday past and started drugs that evening. Just had a checkup scan this morning and i have 4 follicles all 10mm so its looking more likely that the cycle will be cancelled (cut off is 2 mature follicles). Have another scan on Friday and they will decide then. If it is going to happen i imagine it will be Sunday or Monday.

Good luck for blood test

How did the scan on Friday go? Any luck...? Are we in the tww or awaiting another cycle?

It's been an eventful few days TMI. I was in a car accident on Friday on my way to the scan so I missed it. Managed to get another one on Saturday, which showed one lead follicle (the others just seemed to stop developing) and had another yesterday which showed 1 lead at 18mm. So I triggered last night (they changed to drugs for that and it was the most awkward thing ever) and IUI on Wednesday

Blimmey, wow -are you ok? Who else was in the car - are they ok? Eekk ....good news on the lead follicle hopefully this will be the one for you, best of luck with Wednesday! We are going away in a few weeks time so I'm just trying to distract myself, tbh things have been really stressful at home - non baby related issues but there is so much going on with constant arguments and tears, I hope things get better as I feel a lot of tension in my body, my head is constantly numb and my shoulders tense up - not a great environment for baby making (and not a great atmosphere either) I'm going through the blood test cycle again, just had my day 21, I'm hoping to start my period in a week so I don't need to take the blood tests again and I can then take my results abroad with me, I think I am going to try one cycle of clomid whilst I am abroad - I know I should probably wait and the doctors in the uk will not be happpy but I'm fed up of waiting, it will be a test cycle so if it doesn't work it will be followed by an internal scan in December to check for pcos, then a UK round of clomid before we decide if we go private or not, we have passed the 18 month mark and I am pretty much certain it will not happen naturally, it feels like my life is on pause at the moment - all my plans revolv around me getting pregnant. Hope it is soon :) for the both of us sorry for the off load!!

We all need an offload every so often don't apologise. Sorry things are stressful at home, hopefully a wee break away will do the world of good for you.

No one else in my car, but 2 other cars and a lorry were involved. Thankfully there doesn't seem to have a been too much injuries, damage to cars is another thing. Still waiting for the verdict on mine. Keep thinking that after all this hassle, surely this must be my month

Urgh I need help/rant/sympathy/I don't even know.

Have been casually ttc for a few months now, but for the months when we've dtd in the window and are in with a chance my periods go haywire. Every. Single. Time.

Does this happen to anyone else? It's driving me nuts. AF after the first cycle was tiny and very early. Ever since then my cycles have been a little earlier (25 days rather than 30 or so) and lighter. I now spot the day before whereas I didn't beforehand. I have basically developed a highly manageable AF with a built-in detection system which I feel incredibly guilty about moaning about!

We only managed to catch the end of the window this month around so wasn't too hopeful and put it to the back of my mind. I've now been spotting since Sat (day 22, 9DPO) and no AF yet. Needless TMI warning, but I can't detect the spotting now from a normal wipe if you know what I mean, but it's still just about there if I go looking?

Because of my stupid pattern it could be implantation, but more likely it's another weird period thing I've developed to taunt me. Has anyone else's AF changed right when they start TTC, should I be looking into it?

Thinking about grabbing a test later, but I know I'll kick myself when it comes up negative and then a tidal wave AF hits me immediately after.

Gahhhhhhh.

Don't worry pants! Everyone needs a rant, it's a stressful time, the number of times I convinced myself that I was pregnant then i arrived and I felt depressed...just let it come and try not to get overly worked up (easier said then done) willing it will not really chang anything...have you been to the docs for any checks yet?

I'm having one of them months, it's been a long time I have felt this way and I have accepted pretty much that nothing will happen until I get some treatment but I keep getting the urge to POaS !! Af due to arrive in five days so trying to hold out :/

So I am one week post IUI and had been avoiding these boards to help my attempt at not obsessing this cycle. It worked up until yesterday, until I started to feel crampy. Today feeling crampy again and extremely moody/irritable - I ate the head off my boss (who, thankfully, is my dad so while I wont get in trouble I do have some serious apologising to do). Felt exactly the same way this stage last cycle (although not as moody) so am worrying that it means it will be the same outcome this time

D/w everyone has bad months! Iv been terrible this month I had to my day 21 tests again, which have not worked for the third time because my period has not started on time which sent me into a frenZy of testing, it was all triggered by a dream I had where I see my sister pregnant ( which is impossible because her husband is currently Ina. Different country) my mother has this weird sense, every time she has dreamt of someone being pregnant there is a pregnancy in the family, the same has happened for deaths (although that is a more morbid thought!) so it triggered off this thought /hope process - stupid I know, I have done 3 tests all negative, maybe i was dreaming of your prefab act snowy!! I hope so-only a week to go and you shall know soon enough :)

Hold on in there !

Thanks TMI, I really hope your dream was right.

Sorry about annoying day 21 issues, the way my surgery works it is they tell you to ring on CD1 and book in all the blood tests then (it's the only time they are good about getting you in on time) so there is no way of days being wrong

The problem with me is my cycle is never on time so I can never really predict when I should be taking my bloods, totally sucks.

That's what I meant. When I was getting those tests done my surgery told me to ring up on CD1 and schedule them then, then there's no issues with cycle times messing it up

BFN

Sorry snowy :( I'm way this month but AF arrived last week for me too...stay strong xx

Sorry to hear that too TMI

Have decided to take a little break from the baby making train until the new year. Had an appointment with the private consultant this week and we've agreed that IVF is the way to go now, so we are waiting to hear back from NHS to see what time frames etc they can give us (although we have been hearing that the wait list for the treatment after the consultation is 8 mths and that in our area they only offer 1 cycle) and take it from there

Hope it's not as long for you! I had my nhs consultation in October and they said in my area it was a three year wait from the time you begun concieving, I'm at the 1.5 year mark but by the time I have my next consultation I will be closer to the 2 year mark, the gyno was very clear that this is the rule 'atm' and with the reforms it is not guaranteed. Not sure of the wait in your area?

Who knows what it will be like. Still waiting on appointment letter I was told I would have in late October

I seriously can't believe you guys kept this board alive after I abandoned you all!! I'm so sorry x

How are things with you Prty
