I'm a proper southerner, can't get anymore south!

Oh and just to add more TMI to the convo, my nipples are sore and feel like they're twinging. If this isn't my month I swear to god 😅

cupcakesandglitter · 16/08/2018 16:12

Ahh we're all over the place then!! Super annoying, it'd be so nice if we were all near! X

@daisiesandpeonies glad you don't have webbed feet 😂😂😂

Ireland here!

Day 23 of cycle 1. 6 dpo. AF due on Monday (or possibly Wednesday- 27 day cycle but 11 day luteal phase when I monitored last).

Might actually have to see if AF comes to even get a positive test! All ready for next month (although we did inseminate me 9 times). For the new people, it was actually insemination - put my back out and used syringes!

Delilah7 · 16/08/2018 15:21

@daisiesandpeonies don't talk about skin mine is royally screwed 😂😂😂

daisiesandpeonies · 16/08/2018 15:13

@Crossfitgirl thanks for link I'll have a read with a cuppa later (and by cuppa I mean large glass of alcoholic beverage 😂) Am not loving life this week. And I'm so with you on baby showers I swear there is one a month rn, these beyatches better turn up for me! @FlapJackered argh the skin!!!! It's so bad today I swear it gets worse every cycle. Because of my negative tests I have no idea if this is due to ovulation or early PMS, I'm CD23 of who knows how long. I ought to try and initiate but the last thing I feel like doing is being seductive when my face is like this. Wish I could wear a paper bag! @Delilah7 thinking of you love ❤️

Delilah7 · 16/08/2018 14:41

@MrsM2017 @cupcakesandglitter thanks ladies really means a lot xxxx

MrsM2017 · 16/08/2018 14:36

Lots of love @Delilah7 we're all here to listen, and it's good to get things off your chest so like others have said - you can always feel free to rant on here x

cupcakesandglitter · 16/08/2018 14:27

@Delilah7 my DH took years to finally open up about it, but I realised I needed to know how he felt too for closure I think. Maybe try and speak about it later? And also, don't worry about whether or not you've caught this month, it's like you said when I first joined, at least you know you were able to get pregnant x just try and stay as positive as you can - have you tried any of the mindfulness techniques?

And I second @Malichick feel free to rant! XX

Delilah7 · 16/08/2018 14:20

@cupcakesandglitter yeah he's really supportive just wish he'd talk about how he feels too! sorry you've had to go through it too. I've just thrown myself into TTCing to then realise it probably won't happen for me this month 😔

@Malichick thank you Hun means a lot xx

Malichick · 16/08/2018 14:13

@Delilah7 I’ve not been through a MC but just wanted to give a virtual hug 🤗 it’s ok to feel like that and keeping things bottled up won’t solve them. Feel free to rant on here :)

cupcakesandglitter · 16/08/2018 14:06

@Delilah7 I know how you feel, I've had four (unplanned) miscarriages before, and it is so draining and horrible, it's like mourning... but you have to stay strong. The way I think of it is they didn't work for a reason, and that when my time comes, I will have my little baba and it will have all been worth it. It's okay to not feel positive 100% (whether we've miscarried or not) TTC is hard, especially when we want it so badly. Is your partner supporting you with this? Xx

Delilah7 · 16/08/2018 14:04

@MrsR16 thank you.
@ValidUser I know just been abit hard in myself and tried to be tough but just hadn't worked. Now feel draaaaained x

ValidUser · 16/08/2018 14:02

Poor @Delilah7! ThanksYou've been through a lot. There's no shame in finding things tough and we're all happy to listen. Mind yourself. X

MrsR16 · 16/08/2018 13:58

@Delilah7 that doesn't sound good lovely... I'm afraid I'm not much use for you! I can't empathise.

Delilah7 · 16/08/2018 13:57

had abit of a relapse today. tried not to mention it as this thread is so positive but I just feel emotionally drained. I've tried to keep my feelings hidden in real life regarding the MC and I just feel I'm now getting unwell from it. Feel so dizzy so low. 😔

Delilah7 · 16/08/2018 13:52

@ValidUser fingers crossed darling x x

MrsR16 · 16/08/2018 13:50

@ValidUser fingers crossed for you!!
