STOP! Yammer time. 🍠

Sparkwood I think I speak for everyone when I say that I hope you had a lovely evening - har har snigger 😉

Lexi I think I'm safe on the marmite front (if she'd said hummus I'd be screaming though)

Owl Mine's working all weekend too. Hoping FP arrives whilst I'm at home rather than work so I can be miserable in peace. The Yam cream is superb 😂

Hi ladies thanks sooooo much for your support I had an absolute ugly cry to dp last night and I feel totally exhausted it's also not helping that he's working all weekend and I really want some "us" time. I've got another doctor app booked for the 4th June and so just taking some time for myself at the minute.

That said this will make you laugh.....googled natural progesterone cream and you won't believe that it's made from Yams!!!

Thanks @wonky mine is all over my chin and jawline too! I read years ago in some sort of beauty bit in a magazine that chin breakouts are most often hormonal and that kind of fits as they’re normally cyclic for me. however my acupuncturist last night said I should try cutting out my marmite intake because it’s so yeasty and could be contributing. 🤬 I F*ing LOVE marmite- almost as much as coffee. Having now given up coffee I don’t want to lose marmite!!! Anyway- just thought I’d share the yeast info with the yammers as I know a few of you have mentioned the acne.

That’s the spirit @sparkwood!

Sorry for FP Owl

Lexi* I've just had a massive ugly-cry because of my acne. It's suddenly become red, angry cystic acne all over my chin/jaw and I'm so fucking fed up of it. My boobs hurt, I've got what feels like mouth ulcers on the way and presumably this is all because my FP is on its way some time in the next fortnight who fucking knows when though. You have my sympathies

Sorry for FP @owl

@looking that’s so annoying for you- I thought with all the clomid side effects and all that ewcm you had to have ovulated!

I feel rubbish today- going to a big family wedding at the weekend but have a MASSIVE breakout of HUGE spots on my face which means not only am I covered in spots for all the photos but my FP must be round the corner so I’m still not pg.
sucky.

@Owlpatrol. I'm sorry x x

Af came

@LexieJean. Yeah it was my day 21. I will do a day 28 too to compare. I feel like a right failure lol not only can I not get pregnant I can't even ovulate!!

@owl hope you’re feeling a bit better today?

@looking is that your day 21?

Well that sucks. Either I'm not going to ovulate or I haven't ovulated yet but my progesterone was 1.1 :-(

Just posted in May bus....no idea why I'm kidding myself still on the buses but anyway. My mind is a mess been spotting for 5 days now not enough for a tampon and got a bfn so waiting for Af is like waiting for a friggin bus I can tell You! Ovia now tells me af due tomorrow so I am living in hope the rest of the evening. Was going to have some wine....but that little bit of hope has prevented me. WHY WHY WHY

@Si1ver. Yeah I tried that as it said on the instructions and I was all like "I used to milk boobs how hard can a pinky finger be....." They can never get my blood when I go to a blood clinic either!

@LookingAtTheStars89 you need to 'milk' your finger downwards. It took me awhile to get the hang of it.

Yeah @sooz my sisters brothers twice removed cousin ate one once and now has 3 wonderful children so it totally works. Guaranteed.

But @SoozC have you thought of trying yams?

@Looking venepuncture is how to take blood from a vein with a needle. Like how they do it at the pathology places

@Si1ver when I did it myself I venepunctured myself (at work in a clinic room with the door shut)... not my brightest moment. Better to ask @WonkyDonk87 to help!

The yams came from a different thread where a woman who got pregnant second month or something gave advice to the rest of us and said a friend tried yams and they worked for her. Lots of us on the original yams thread (under a different name) jumped in saying ttc doesn't work like that, there was some unpleasantness from others but we began yams in our thread titles in honour of all the silly advice you get when ttc. The woman who inspired it even came into our thread and was very nice to us and it all ended well. But we've kept yams since then.

@WonkyDonk87. What's venepuncture?

I've just done my venepuncture training so need some guinea pigs... any takers?

@Si1ver. You can come and do mine next time! It took three lancets, lots of squeezing and a lot of "fuck sake" to fill it lol. My blood has the speed of a damn snail! I have to do another one on Tuesday

@BGDino. I am a massive baby medical wise! I put the Lancet to my finger about 20 times before I dare push it in

I think, to make it worse, she'd been TTC for over a year and a woman in her first month of trying suggested that she eat some yams.

@LookingAtTheStars89 oh you poor thing! I'm useless with blood and needles better get used to it though!

Still spotting today that's 4 days in a row and I'm constantly checking for period to start and i know it will shortly but it's doing my head (and emotions) in!!

I seem to remember she popped in on one of the threads but can't remember which one
