@bubble that sounds terrifying!
@looking and @bubble I used to sleep with my eyes open (apparently- told by ex boyfriends!) and have occasionally had a sense of paralysis. Scary.

@owl I’d recommend a mooncup too.
Maybe spend the weekend coming up with job ideas? It’s horrid I know but starting is the hardest bit 💐

Bubblegum89 · 25/04/2018 21:52

Looking I suffer from sleep paralysis too. It happened mostly when I was a teenager but has happened a few times since I’ve been older. Most recently I woke up one night to see a huge black figure standing next to my bed. Must have been 7-8 feet tall. Then it started walking very very slowly around the bed, stopping now and again to look at me. It was making its way round to my side of the bed and I couldn’t physically move or scream or anything. I just shut my eyes and I must have fallen back asleep. It really is horrific! My dreams are extremely vivid 99% of the time as well. Which sucks when they’re pregnancy related because they seem so real but then I wake up and I’m still without a baby

LookingAtTheStars89 · 25/04/2018 21:10

@LexieJean. Me too! My dreams get so vivid that it's like watching them on a TV. They are weird dreams too. I don't know if you've ever heard of it but I sometimes suffer from sleep paralysis during that time too - very unpleasant :-(

Bubblegum89 · 25/04/2018 20:46

owlpatrol I would recommend a mooncup to anyone!

Owlpatrol · 25/04/2018 20:37

@LexieJean sorry I realised that sounded so unenthusiastic lol. Honestly I'd do anything right now I'm even considering working in Aldi...they get paid more than I do!

Owlpatrol · 25/04/2018 20:35

@LexieJean sorry for being AWOL yes let's set a business plan
@SparkwoodAnd21 hooe everything went ok today
@Bubblegum89 I've been doing the opposite I've done a massive closet clear out donated loads to charity and it feels Great! I totally recommend it to anyone! Whilst we're talking about recommendations what's your thoughts on the menstrual cup?

Been having vivid dreams all week.... not a symptom as I've had a menstrual "smell" down there today so I know spotting starting soon

@LookingAtTheStars89 argh to baby bombs they suck. I got baby bombed today by a girl who showed me her friends baby feined some enthusiasm

@wonky @jabby I had sweet potatoes with my lunch so I’m totes upduffed

LexieJean · 25/04/2018 20:07

God totally @looking sometimes the last few days before FP arrives I can barely keep my eyes open. Then at night I have crazy dreams and night sweats. Joy.

JaggyJobby · 25/04/2018 19:08

@WonkyDonk87 Haha sorry to hear that you are feeling this way too, but also glad its not me in a terrible mood all day to be honest! I'm not even that close to FP yet, grr.

FairyAnn · 25/04/2018 19:07

Part of routine investigations I believe wonkydonk87, they've got to do it before we can get a referral

WonkyDonk87 · 25/04/2018 19:01

Ah @JaggyJobby , your post made me smile - I have found my emotional twin for today! Yeah, I'll eat anything you throw at me Grin

JaggyJobby · 25/04/2018 18:56

@wonkydonk87 want my sweet potato fries? Haha. Sorry to hear FP might be on her way :(

WonkyDonk87 · 25/04/2018 18:55

Wow. Whoops! Sorry Looking - think that evidences definitely more angry than tired!
Hope you're doing something relaxing/comforting

JaggyJobby · 25/04/2018 18:55

Convinced myself earlier that my areoles were darker... Are they fuck. Really not in the mood for this shite today. My lack of sleep last night has clearly done me no emotional favors today, I am in a right huff with TTC haha. Someone told me that positivity helps today, urgghhhh! She's a really nice person, but I am not in the mood to hear that all I have been doing wrong is not staying positive enough. Its not easy to stay positive in the face of monthly failure, and anyway I was mega positive for the first three months, did sweet fuck all.

Hope you're all doing good. Stay positive ladies ;)

Oh, and I got some sweet potato chips with tea and have only managed to eat a couple (The main meal was pretty big) - fuck yams!

WonkyDonk87 · 25/04/2018 18:54

I feel tired/emotional/hungry/irritable. Mainly angry today as I have the faintest brown cm. which means FP will be here at some point over the next few days. Somewhere in the region of a 39 day cycle. Never going to get sodding pregnant. Fucked off with it all. How are you supposed to relax, make more effort, remain positive AND not set yourself up for an emotional fail each time???

LookingAtTheStars89 · 25/04/2018 18:42

Does anyone else feel shattered in the week leading up to their period? I can barely keep my eyes open :-( I get like it every time.

WonkyDonk87 · 25/04/2018 18:13

Good luck @Justwaitingforaline

Did they say why @FairyAnn or is it just the routine next investigation? Is there a specific order they do them in?

FairyAnn · 25/04/2018 17:58

So we're on to our next step Yammers, I've got to have a hycosy. Sounds thoroughly unpleasant 😞

LookingAtTheStars89 · 25/04/2018 17:39

I decided to 're follow some people that I had unfollowed and within minutes I got baby bombed!! Seriously!? Angry

@MichaelKnightsCar. Why wouldn't they tell you?? My DH's morphology was bad and they told us it was "abmormal" and we had to book an appointment with his GP.

MichaelKnightsCar · 25/04/2018 17:22

Good luck @Justwaitingforaline I hope it goes well.
My husband is going to submit his second SA sample tomorrow. They wouldn't tell us the results of his first test so we think it can't have been good.
We're making light of it ("have you been to the Drs and got your jizz pot yet?") but the possibility of bad news is still there hovering unsaid.

I really hope it's good news for you.
Thanks

Justwaitingforaline · 25/04/2018 17:04

Wish me luck, yammers. We have an appointment at the Drs tomorrow morning to discuss the results of DHs SA analysis. They came back 4 weeks ago but they wouldn’t give them over the phone and the soonest apt was tomorrow Hmm I’m feeling all kind of nervous and he is adamant it will be bad news. We don’t qualify for any financial help so it will be the end of the road for now if it is a bad result.

SparkwoodAnd21 · 25/04/2018 14:41

It was a bit weird, but quite interesting. She was good, very reassuring and nice. The first thing I thought of was all of you and the comments you’ve had before!

Bubblegum89 · 25/04/2018 14:11

Haha sparkwood at my last appointment, I got told I had a beautiful cavity and I was just like erm, thank you..? Glad it went okay!

WonkyDonk87 · 25/04/2018 13:42

What a lovely er.... compliment? Ha ha
I do find it a bit weird when they tell us something so intimate. As they clearly know we're going to run home and get shagging 🙈😂
