STOP! Yammer time. 🍠

@SparkwoodAnd21 I’ve had many people amazed that they can barely find my cervix and discuss it’s appearance in great detail (looks like a donut with 2 big bites taken out of it). I’m never sure what I’m meant to say, I’m don’t really care what it looks like!

@SparkwoodAnd21 😆 a gynocologist once told me I had a lovely pink cervix. Um thanks I think.

@SparkwoodAnd21. A long vagina?! Ha ha! What did you say "Er thanks?"

I don’t know if anything will help with the anxiety but I’m taking it a day at a time at the moment. I can only wait and see what happens I suppose.

Hope everyone has enjoyed their shopping sprees! I’m in need of footwear and like Bubble have child sized feet. I want a new pair of sandals and some light coloured work shoes. That won’t cause me blisters (that’s the hard part!).

Oh cross post - Para not surprised you're in shock! Think an early scan sounds a good idea if it will help with the anxiety. You must be so nervous - fingers and toes crossed this is your take home baby

Good luck spark! Love spotting a magpie. Always holding out for 3 or 4 as some kind of weird sex indicator for the foetus I don't have

Good luck SparkwoodAnd21, hope all goes well today.

I’m still basically in shock, still feeling mostly fine. Have taken a few tests and all are still positive but with my last MMC I had really high hcg but still miscarried so not sure it means a lot. Booking a scan for just under 7 weeks and EPU have offered me one at around 9 weeks if I get that far.

Good luck sparkwood you’ll be fine, the hycosy really isn’t that bad at all

@lexiejean... I hear you on the accupuncture etc! I currently am throwing money at reflexology, accupunture and vitamins every month. Although I have cut down considerably on the vitamins because they were getting stupid expensive. I dunno.. I'll have a think about it.

Lexie miserablemouse I went with both shoes and make up lol bit of Mac and two pairs of Adidas trainers to give the illusion I am in any way athletic. I justified it by a) using my 20% student discount and b) buying from the kids section which is half the price of the adult section (my feet are only a size 3). I’d rather be buying baby-related items but it doesn’t look like that will be an option for a while. Thank god for retail therapy at least.

@bubble and @miserable I went with shoes to cheer me up. Got them home and think they’re too small 🤦‍♀️

Good call on yam skincare @miserable we can add that to the business plan

Yep. There’s a sainsburys opposite my work and the baby clothes are right near the fresh fruit so I always end up looking at them and feeling sad.

bubblegum I did the same yesterday. Can’t buy clothes because I’ve put weight on but I can definitely still credit card shit loads of skincare and make up. Skincare always fits. Maybe yam skincare is the way to go Lexie and owl?

Think I might have felt ovulation yesterday. Never normally happens but it was like a sharp stab/pop feeling? CD20 which would make sense as cycles finally seem to be settling down at around 34 days.

Dh wanted to watch that new Australian Netflix show (think its called the Letdown), watched a couple episodes. Cue waking up at 3:30 in the morning wide awake thinking about what it must be like to be a mum for over an hour 😭

Then go for the gadget @pinkemi! Whatever helps? I mean I’ve been throwing money at supplements and acupuncture and this might help you. Sorry you’re feeling so down 💐

@wonky sure! @owl and I could do a whole package thing in yams. Hell lets grow the buggers too!

It’s so crap @looking I never used to be this blubbering mess sensitive

I watched Richie Rich at the weekend and had a cry at the end because he had friends now. Not even sodding baby related

I just went on an online shopping spree and spent a bunch of money I don’t have on things I don’t need because fuck all of this.

Sending hugs to those of you getting bfn’s/fp. This whole thing is so unfair :(

@LexieJean. I got like that in down the baby clothing aisle in Tesco the other day

@lexiejean to be honest.. I'm not sure I could stick to a plan that I did myself. I can't seem to stick to anything at the moment. :-(

I've just stooped to a new all time low in my year of TTC.. just took a pregnancy test.. day 12 of my cycle. I couldn't stop that niggling feeling of "maybe I was like that 3 day period woman"... when realistically (and deep down I knew this) I have been having stomach and bowel issues because I have been eating like crap and not exercising.. they were NOT pregnancy symptoms.

Honestly feeling a bit down in the dumps today. Wish i could just give up completely . .. but can't because deep down it's not what I want. sigh

Sorry to hear that @ShesAYamEater

So cruelly af arrived cd 34 which makes my cycle 33 days

Whos in charge here?
Please give me chance dear god. Just one more chance .

Gah! Negative test at the weekend and I'm still fucking symptom spotting

Can you do more than just import? Yam wine? Yam parties? Yam beauty treatments?
