Awww @Owlpatrol hope you have a lovely date night
@strawberrye welcome and sorry to hear about your loss. I know what you mean about all the bfp's it's so lovely but it gives me all this hope that's been repeatedly crushed x

strawberrye · 20/10/2018 18:18

Hello does anyone mind if I join?

I'm 27, have been TTC for 1 year now, and had two early losses in this time - 1 in January, 1 in April and not a sniff of anything else since. Been on the TTC after pregnancy loss thread for 8-9 months now and it is lovely and supportive - but I just seem to be passed by by all the ladies who have their loss and then fall pregnant again within a few months - obviously very pleased for them especially with what they have been through, but feeling like an old cheese on that thread.

Starting to feel like I'm losing all hope and was drawn to the rule "thou shall allow posters to be fucked off with the world and everything in it at regular points in the month"

@JustLikeTheySaid oooh fx xx

Sorry I've been AWOL yammers I've been taking some time out waiting for fp to finish. Done some retail therapy today as well which was much needed. Me and dp are having a date night tonight really looking forward to it Smile not much else to report here

ImpatientMammy · 20/10/2018 15:47

Thanks @Chooklass my opks started to darken and now they're basically white again I did 4 on the day they where getting darker i have a feeling that means either I might not ovulate this cycle or I got a dodgey set of opks. So if they think my cycle was anovulatory they'll just keep doing the same tests? X

JustLikeTheySaid · 20/10/2018 13:56

Thanks. I've got a weird stabby sensation low down at the front today which is making me question whether I might be... will take the other FRER tomorrow to prove to myself I'm definitely out and then have a sob.

Hope you've managed okay today @Pinkemi

Chooklass · 20/10/2018 12:08

@ImpatientMammy the '21 day bloods' really need to be done 7 days after ovulation. They are just called that based on the average cycle of 28 days. My cycles were 24 days when I got mine done so doc told me to get my bloods done on day 19 (I ov'd on day 12). Sometimes takes a few cycles to time it right. My first two attempts were late because the correct day was on weekend!

@JustLikeTheySaid Hope you have some nice treats lined up for this weekend. Sorry about the BFN

Good luck today @Pinkemi! Am imagining you 007-style sneaking about to get your stealth trigger shot!!

ImpatientMammy · 19/10/2018 12:43

Fingers crossed for you @Pinkemi xx

ImpatientMammy · 19/10/2018 12:42

@JustLikeTheySaid I think no matter how many cycles it's been it's hard not to have hope. Sending love your way x

Si1ver · 19/10/2018 09:26

That's so exciting! Good luck with your trigger tomorrow.

Pinkemi · 19/10/2018 09:23

Oooh just had my last scan this morning. I have 4 or 5 follicles ready to go and about 3 or 4 that arent quite there. So.. trigger shot tomorrow at the wedding ready for monday. Eeek!

JustLikeTheySaid · 19/10/2018 07:57

@ImpatientMummy due Monday. I'm 11DPO today and it was a FRER so I'm definitely out. Not really okay at all. Mostly cross with myself for getting excited when I know there is something wrong.

ImpatientMammy · 19/10/2018 07:39

Hope your ok @JustLikeTheySaid when's your AF due? X

JustLikeTheySaid · 19/10/2018 06:39

Negative FRER at 11DPO means I'm out for this cycle I guess. So so frustrating, I had let myself get hopeful because of the total change in symptoms. Grrrrrrrr.

ImpatientMammy · 19/10/2018 01:09

Congratulations @OrcinusOrca

@Owlpatrol sorry to hear you've reached two years I hope your partner gets himself to the drs so you can rule that out.

I forgot there was a new thread and just thought you where all being quiet 🙈 I tried to catch up but there's just so much so I'm really sorry if I've missed anything. I'm on CD17 and not ovulated yet I've got 21 day bloods this month what happens if you don't ovulate? Do they even care? X

Owlpatrol · 18/10/2018 19:33

Awww thanks everyone you're all so kind

@Pinkemi oh man I feel for you I've had a heated discussion with dp about going for his tests and he is actually entertaining the idea now I'm going to get him to do them this month.

Had a baby fix today my friend came over with her little one and I was actually so pleased to see her and the baby I actually allowed myself to enjoy it not for being jealous but for having time with a baby. And I found as soon as I took that pressure off myself I felt a lot better.....and when she started moaning I coukd give her back 😂

Chooklass · 18/10/2018 18:51

I've got my first reflexology next Thurs @OrcinusOrca! I'm worried about my feet being tickly!!

I like murder mystery books or apocalyptic thrillers. Recently read 'The Fireman' by Joe Hill (Stephen King's son!) and really enjoyed it. Also just finished 'The Lost Village' by Neil Spring - good if you want something a bit spooky! Reading the most recent Cormoran Strike book (by JkRowling's alter ego) at the mo. I don't read much in summer but as soon as the nights start drawing in I love cosying in with a good book

OrcinusOrca · 18/10/2018 18:12

Ahhh @Pinkemi sounds like a day to write off! Hope it has improved a bit since earlier.

@Owlpatrol sorry to hear bout FP. Ha I know what you mean about the Christmas dreams...hope you have a nice day tomorrow, any plans?

I have booked a reflexology session for Monday, am quite excited. Not sure if I'm riding at the weekend or not (kind of hoping not as got to go see my DM and brothers Sat PM). DH is working Sunday unfortunately so going to see naff all of him. He's been a bit of a saint this week, I've felt really unmotivated to do anything and he's just picked everything up and got on with it, he doesn't hold it against me either which is a double win.

I've decided to try and force myself to read some books this autumn. I was 'that child' who adored books and spent my lunch times reading at school, but it's so rare that I read these days. Got plenty I could choose from and I think some escapism would be good for me. Have any of you ladies read a decent book lately?

Si1ver · 18/10/2018 11:35

@Pinkemi buy one of the med cold bags for your trigger shot, take it with you to the venue and pop it in a fridge there. Amazon do next day delivery.

All my meds were in a cold bag for a full day during travel and they were fine.

People will be less interested in snooping than you think. Just say they're antibiotics and you'll be fine. Also try and remember that being crazy on these drugs is normal. Your hormones are going haywire and there's so much pressure on you for this to work. People telling you to calm down and relax aren't helpful, unfortunately they're probably right.

Pinkemi · 18/10/2018 11:24

Just had major argument with DH about meds.. and what im gonna do on sat if i need to take my trigger shot. Angry i know he is only trying to help but telling me that im worrying too much and am obviously in a bad mood DOESNT HELP!!!

I guess i have to just put them in a cool bag and tell people they are my antibiotics for my chest infection and doctor told me to keep in the fridge. And if they look and realise what its for.. then.. not a lot i can do about it. (Sigh) going to ask the venue if i can keep my trigger shot in the fridge there.. and pass it to them when i arrive or something. My DH has said he will do it.. but he can be so forgetful.. i just dunno. Confused and i hurt his feelings by voicing this so now hes angry at me too. (Sigh)

Owlpatrol · 18/10/2018 06:41

Thanks yammers for all your messages. I've booked tomorrow off work can't wait for a nice day to chill

Pinkemi · 17/10/2018 23:29

@OrcinusOrca i could.. but it just runs the risk of them looking. Currently i have them all in a shoe box (downgraded from the amazon box to a smaller one). We just run the risk of people looking. Gah.

@owlpatrol thank you! I know im now going to be worrying about timing and what not! Sorry FP got you. 😑

@Chooklass they wouldnt fit in a thermos sadly. I have like 3 i will have to store.. each in their own little box. One for friday evening (unless i can take it before meeting up with everyone), one for the morning and then the all important sat evening one which must ve refrigerated at all times i am told!

Of course i could be stressing over nothing. I could go in on Friday morning and they go.. nope! Still not yet! (My body better behave.. that scenario would seriously screw up everything. Haha)

@booksandbaths1 thanks! Stressing already though. Haha

Booksandbaths1 · 17/10/2018 22:27

Sorry to hear FP arrived @Owlpatrol Yup I too totally think those things. I really hoped I'd have a baby this year... in fact many aspects of this year haven't panned out as I hoped. I know dates like Christmas or birthdays or time trying shouldn't mean much but it's hard for them not to.

Booksandbaths1 · 17/10/2018 22:23

Oh man I'm loving these injection cooling/hiding ideas 😂 especially the thermos, genius! Good luck with the coming days @pinkemi and do have lots of fun at the wedding, you deserve it.x
