A gentle caress or a deep wipe? A real symptom or a load of old tripe? Join Prty's gang to rejoice or gripe!

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

kitten I've had some pinkish cm tonight so she's a comin' (sigh)
Tried to call the docs today, no appointments this week, can't book for next week until after Thurs

[Pirsy1]

Flowers its lovely to hear from you! It must have been so amazing to see the heartbeat. I hope things go smoothly from here. Dont feel bad about popping back - its a good reminder for us that it can happen!!

Prty and kitten sorry about the imminent AFs! Do you know what occurred to me ... Does your GP do phone consultations? You dont really need to be physically be seen by them, they just need to chat to you and order some tests. Not all surgeries do telephone stuff, but might be useful if you find it difficult to get in for an appointment.

Poppy that is a shame that they couldnt give you any news. I hope you get your appointment for the end of May. It seems like a long time away now but it will actually be here before we know it!

Snowy I left the group for a bit before (after my DH initially said he wouldn't go and do an SA), because I just needed a total break from TTC. You should def use us to just rant at though and say all the stuff you cant in real life - thats what we're here for!

[snowy1982]

Oh I know pirsy, I have done plenty of ranting in here, I just didn't have the energy to rant this time round. Between work and TTC I just feel totally drained at the minute, but I will pick myself up again, I always do

[PrtyPsn]

pirsy I'm not sure but I will check! They keep trying to book me in with the nurse but I know she won't be able to book tests or refer if needed and don't want to waste her or my time!
snowy hopefully the TWW will allow you some time to relax - I know it can drag etc but you don't need to think about DTD x

[glitterpoppy]

prty try the nurse, I initially saw the nurse at my surgery and he arranged all my bloods and ultrasound tests and referred me to the gynaecologist at the hospital.. He was really good. Even the hospital mentioned how thorough he had been!!

[neetie1]

Hi all sorry I have been absent lately. School hols, getting a rescue puppy (six month old collie cross) and also the tablets I started to take for anxiety whilst helping did nothing for my sex drive or my wanting to have babies. Plus I heard some good news about my job which I can celebrate soon so all in all fairly busy. Currently 3 days before af and not expecting much of a chance this month anyway, hope you are all good..

Ooo stats..

Name: Neetie
Age: 43
TTC: For just over a year now

[MrsFlowers82]

Thanks all!

I am still spotting a tiny bit, light brown and only on wiping. Hoping it goes away soon as it is very unsettling And yes Jod, its my first pregnancy. I am neurotic at the best of times however I stupidly thought after the BFP it would be all excitement and a bit of a break after the TTC worrying... Never thought the 12WW was so unbelievably hideously hard. Find myself a nervous wreck most days. Just trying to keep calm, after all the Drs at the hospital said this was really common. Please keep all crossed for me and I promise not to moan at you guys anymore xxx

I would defo try a phone call Prty. My GP did that initially and I had to pick up forms for blood tests. We then had an appointment to discuss in more depth. Even if you meet the nurse first its good to know things are moving.

Completely feel you on the distractions Snowy. I am sorry its been so shitty this month and hope you find a laptop!

Hi Neetie! Congrats on the job news and exciting about the puppy! Super cute! You must show us some pics All crossed for you that AF stays away.

[snowy1982]

Oh neetie, puppies are the best thing ever. I have a collie cross (a wee rescue also), he's just over a year and he is a total nutcase, but I wouldn't change him for the world, his brother, a 3 yo lab X, would probably disagree with me on that though, I think he longs for the days when he wasn't tortured by a younger pup

[neetie1]

Here is Charlie along with my two labs Sasha (black) and Oscar

[snowy1982]

Oh, their all gorgeous

Here are Alfie (lab/springer) and Harvey (collie/beagle) - Alfie is the bigger one

[Pirsy1]

I love the doggies! We are also getting a collie cross! I will try to post a video later if I can work out how.

Im at the Women's hospital for my 6 monthly colposcopy check up. Seeing all thd pregnant women is making me feel sad ... Ive got a headache and dont feel well today so think Im just sensitive.

[glitterpoppy]

Ooh can I join in with the doggy pics, this is my pup Lennie who is 1 in 2 weeks I think!

[glitterpoppy]

flowers is so lovely to hear from you.. Sorry you feel so worried, hopefully you will be able to relax soon. When do you hit the 12 week mark?

Hugs pirsy hope you feel better.

I feel abit better than the negative nancy I was yesterday.. I've just succumbered that there's not much I can do except wait until my hospital appointment at the end of next month now so not much working myself up further!

[snowy1982]

Cute pup glitter, loving the bow tie and doggy grin

[Jod1985]

Well guys, I caved last night and tested. Was 8days PO and I see a very very faint line. I think. I posted on another thread here and they can see it too. Can you?

[Jod1985]

Here's the negative version too. I keep looking at it all day.

[Pirsy1]

Yes I see it jod! I think it is easier to see on the uninverted image. If you test again in a couple of days it should be darker. Congratulations!

Poppy I think you're right - just relax until your appointment and try not to worry.

Flowers I think it is very very common to have a bit of bleeding early on. I hope it settles down. I havent thought about the 12ww but now you mention it I think I might find that hard too - 2 weeks is bad enough!

[PrtyPsn]

Yay!!!! Congrats jod I see a line!!!

[PrtyPsn]

Still no AF here and another BFN with FMU this morning (sigh) now 2 days late... starting to think I didn't ovulate this cycle - again!

[Jod1985]

You might get your BFP yet, maybe you ovulated later than you thought?

[MrsFlowers82]

Prty it aint over till she shows lovely. Keeping all crossed.

Jod - did you test again this morning?!

Glitter four looooooong weeks until 12W mark. Bloody eternity. Making mood boards of fantasy home decor in a bid to keep distracted....

Lovin all the doggie pics!!

[Jod1985]

No I'm didn't. I'm going to tomorrow and I'm afraid.

[PrtyPsn]

jod I'd try and hold off until after AF due date if I was you x
AF is here, serious kick in the foof. Just wanna go home and go to bed. Booked with nurse for Monday

[MrsFlowers82]

Hugs Prty xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

When are you due Jod?

[Jod1985]

I don't know when AF was due. I haven't had one since getting the Mirena removed.
