P.S. thanks for the thread, spark!

Hi! Placemarking :) I joined back when socks aka yameater started the original angry thread...

star that's shitty from your work - you're not under any obligation to resign, surely, if you're looking for work? Good luck with the job hunt though, am doing the same xx

Waiting for FP, expected in a couple of days...

JaggyJobby · 19/04/2018 08:56

@WhereDoLostSocksGo I was on that thread too under a different name, oh god, had it really been 7 threads already? 😭

@SparkwoodAnd21 thanks for starting the new thread! Love the name 😂

ShesAYamEater · 19/04/2018 07:44

Good luck all.

1 night shift down. 1 to go.

Yes I changed name I started here as socks but name changed.
Have posted in these threads under a few names now . I like yam eater for a while. Smile

ShesAYamEater · 19/04/2018 07:41

Star - don't know your story but that sounds stressy. Hope you're ok.

Owl- good luck

Well today is cd 29 and no hint of af . No hint of pg either so I reckon anovulatory cycle.

I'll leave it a few days and if I'm really late I'll test but with my pg ( unsuccessful) 2 years ago to the month I had really tender boobs and not a hint here so I just think I've not ovulated. Life's a bitch then you apparently hit the menopause! Ah well.

Owlpatrol · 19/04/2018 06:09

@LookingAtTheStars89 not yet they were day 21 and I still need the day 1-3 as I went to doctor mid cycle so a bit to wait now. Obviously I hope af doesn't turn up anyway but not holding out much hope

LookingAtTheStars89 · 19/04/2018 00:15

@Owlpatrol. Sorry I meant to say fertile looking*

LookingAtTheStars89 · 19/04/2018 00:14

@Owlpatrol. Managed to do the deed tonight. I have fertile look cm so fingers crossed something is happening in there lol. Have you heard about your blood results yet?

starwishing · 18/04/2018 23:34

Evening, not been on today as I had to tell work I am looking for other jobs and I think they've more or less said I should hand in my resignation... hey ho. I have till the 31st of May to do so and hopefully something will come up by then. I might risk it and resign anyway.

SoozC · 18/04/2018 20:53

Bubble, YamEater is Socks! Sorry fp got you properly BTW, small consolation that it's a nice healthy red colour.

Welcome, Apple! I am not one of those pregnant so soon after mc; 4 cycles on I'm still not preggers again. We do exist!

Limp, still got things crossed for you! I get what you say about only being comforted for a bit. I wonder if I do get preggers again that I'll have an early scan. I think I'd rather wait and see what happens, I won't be able to prevent another mc anyway, no point getting too attached. And how shit is it I'm thinking like that?! Fucking miscarriages. Big hugs to you. What are your hen plans?!

DoAsDreamersDo · 18/04/2018 20:34

Wow, page 4 of thread 7 already!!

I hope you ladies are all keeping well. I’m still here lurking and checking up on you all x

MynameisJune · 18/04/2018 20:28

@bubble sorry for fp but glad that it seems to be better than before.

I’m struggling to keep up with you all!

Bubblegum89 · 18/04/2018 20:20

Thanks Lexie I’ll see what I can find :)

Owlpatrol being so late has really got my uterus mad, almost a full day of cramps. Dunno why it’s so mad, it’s its own fault... I’m not too sad, I keep thinking about my holiday in August and how I won’t be able to drink cocktails/wear bikinis if I’m preggo (although obviously I’d much rather be preggo lol)

My second lot of fp when I went to clean my mooncup and it was a beautiful cranberry shade of red. Not brown, not dark clotty red. I’m hoping this means my periods are genuinely getting healthier. My HyCoSy didn’t make me more fertile but it does seemed to have helped in the ol’ period department.

Bubblegum89 · 18/04/2018 20:17

YamEater who ARE you, mysterious name-changer?

LimpLettice · 18/04/2018 19:44

8.5 Paranormal. I'm having a private one at the weekend and waiting on 12 weeks nhs. It's getting ridiculous. I've had about 6 in the last couple of months, and they make me feel less panicked for about 7 minutes. Torturous.

Hello Applejack. I'm one of those bastard people, but this is my 4th pregnancy in the last year, so not feeling particularly smug about it!

Wonky! My honeymoon in Portugal next month, wonderful place, I hope you're having a marvellous time 😃

ShesAYamEater · 18/04/2018 19:35

have a good evening ladies and enjoy the vino. ive got a night shift to look forward to.

LexieJean · 18/04/2018 19:25

@aph I see them too. Bloody everywhere!!

LexieJean · 18/04/2018 19:25

@pinkemi enjoy your random sex!
@bubble sounds like you’d qualify for their package in my non expert opinion. I’d still recommend a free open evening if you can find one near you or head to London for one.
Cheers @owlpatrol! 🍷 wine with my dinner

Aph413 · 18/04/2018 19:17

I swear I see pregnant people everywhere right now. Looked up out of my kitchen window early to see my neighbour with a huge belly that has appeared out of nowhere Envy. Its a shit 6th sense

Owlpatrol · 18/04/2018 19:05

@WhereDoLostSocksGo argh so annoying a couple of us think we have had anvoluntary cycles
@Bubblegum89 I'm glad af turned up at least we know

Giving everyone a big hug tonight and wine. Wine solves everything

Owlpatrol · 18/04/2018 19:00

Not u better shave my legs. That's weird. I meant I shave my legs lol

Owlpatrol · 18/04/2018 18:58

@Bubblegum89 is your ex my ex by any chance? We didn't get to the stage of ttc luckily but almost.
@LookingAtTheStars89 we usually manage twice during fw and still not preggers no luck nor timing makes a difference to us

Had another shitty day at work one lady told me she got pregnant straight away...
I'm feeling so lost this month it's hard to explain. My friend told me her tubes were blocked and got pregnant next month as well. I don't mind them telling me their experiences but is it meant to make me feel better?

Anyway drinking wine and eating soft cheese in my garden tonight. Suppose u better shave my legs as well lol

Bubblegum89 · 18/04/2018 18:51

Lexie there’s one in Manchester but it doesn’t offer the same package. It wouldn’t cost us too much in travel etc. Considering IVF minus meds at our usual clinic is £6000, we’ll still save a tonne. All my hormone tests came back completely normal and my OH has had two SA done both of which were excellent. They literally cannot find a reason why we can’t conceive which is mega frustrating. Hopefully you won’t need the ICSI!

ShesAYamEater · 18/04/2018 18:49

i feel utterly pants.

i am telling myself there is absolutely nothing to gain from testing, cd28 but my cycles this year have been 29, 28,30and whatever this one is.

i feel fatigued and nauseas but the sensible me says its getting over this cold. that said the other half cooked squid tonight which i normally like but the smell turned my stomach immediately and i had to spit the first mouthful out and cook something else for me.
if i get to cd 30 i might risk a test. im more likely to be menopausal than upduffed though. i really do wish i could just forget it now.

bridget33 · 18/04/2018 18:18

After promising not to take a test I caved in earlier and of course it was a bfn. I have been feeling so nauseous all week and haven't been eating much at all so thought maybe just maybe I could be pregnant?! Turns out I must have a sickness bug which feels so darn cruel when waiting for FP. I feel taking a test early is like self torture and I'd really like to not do it next month if I can. Feeling all sad now. But am going to go for a swim and drink gin later to cheer me up. Massive Meh : (
