I'm currently sat at my desk looking like I'm doing work until it is acceptable to leave!

@MrsC89 I wouldn't want to check my testing heart rate just now! I haven't been to the gym since the end of August so dread to think how high it is!!

@CiaraJ01 I seriously don't know what's wrong with me. I need to snap out of this mood. I feel so miserable and feel like crying. Even Nutella doesn't make me happy right now 😂🙁😩😭😭😭

@Louu99 those doctors need to move their ass!!

MrsC89 · 15/11/2019 14:27

Have any of you looked at your resting heart rate in relation to when you ovulate? They say you can see a heart rate rise before ovulation, then after ovulation a drop.

@Louu99 I’m so excited for you. When I saw your test I actually gasped & was like that’s positive

sh84 · 15/11/2019 14:25

Ha, I’ve felt many a cervix except my own & had many tmi conversations. I always thought I was quite in tune with my body but now I question everything I know, professionally & personally. It was hard being around colleagues & friends & knowing that the prognosis was poor, the doctors I worked with saying the same thing- I don’t need to tell you but...
I just need a BFP, I so desperately wanted to have a baby by my sons first birthday, if it don’t happen this month that won’t be the case

@Skygirl1983 @mellymoo86 I rang and I'm waiting for a doctor to have a look and ring me back... 😳

@sh84 no such thing as tmi in our group! Lol! But I'm definitely much more aware of my CM. I was recommended preseed from a colleague and reviews seem good too.

I'm so sorry about you son. That must certainly be a very difficult situation for you. Especially when you work in that environment. I hope it all works out for you very soon ❤

@Skygirl1983 I’ve heard of preseed too. I wouldn’t know if my insides are hospitable or not tbh, I don’t take much notice of CM & I’ve never felt my own cervix. I have noticed that I never have completely clear EWCM in consistency, it’s always white, it just gets more thin & watery then goes back to creamy consistency. Never knew I’d be posting online to complete strangers what my vaginal discharge looks/feels like.

& as far as a job, I’m a midwife, not currently working as I gave birth & lost my son in the hospital I work in & I still don’t know if I can ever go back there. I want to but right now I just want a baby

mellymoo86 · 15/11/2019 14:05

@Louu99 did you call doctors and did your best friend reply back?

@sh84 the conditions have to be perfect for them to survive that long too. Right ph levels in CM etc. A few of us have started using preseed with is a lube that helps make a favourable environment and aid conception. Something for you to consider next time around.

@Maisy24 I have read that sperm can live up to 5 days inside, I’m hoping one hung on in there long enough to jump on the egg once it popped. OH goes away for work next month a couple of days before my “fertile window” starts & isn’t back till after it’s finished. Been thinking if I can get some of the precious elixir couriered too me lol

Whoops @MrsC89 didn't tag you in!

CiaraJ01 · 15/11/2019 13:37

Same here - the manager before me was male so I'm hoping I can appeal to their better nature (and lean on the fact they really want me to stay!)

CiaraJ01 · 15/11/2019 13:35

@stepmumma91 I did wonder what they would say - although definitely a waste to go to the early pregnancy unit when at this stage your saying you're unsure! I would do another test and then agree with @skygirl1983 to just book in with a GP for a 'pregnancy related issue'!!

Maisy24 · 15/11/2019 13:33

@FutureMrsSmith it's a stressful job isn't it.... I don't know how I'd actually find time to have a baby! Also not many maternal types in our industry, thats actually a good thing as at work no one really assumes I want a baby and you don't get the baby talk, i work with mostly men or career women, do you find the same? Xxxx

@stepmumma91 what a load of rubbish!! All you need to know is if you are pregnant or not. Phone them tomorrow and tell them you want a booking in appointment as you have had a positive test. Then when you are there tell the doctor what has happened.

@CiaraJ01 I feel your pain may pay at my work is just the statutory. They havent had anyone go on Mat leave before

stepmumma91 · 15/11/2019 13:09

@CiaraJ01 they don't deal with pregnancy related issues - would need to go to early pregnancy unit?! Will test more tonight and see how it goes!
