CSG (Thread 1)

@candycrush2298 being back at work is brutal. Ive been up since 5.30am and literally off to bed now haha! Rock and roll Saturday night ay. Im off tomorrow though which is exciting.

I literally have no AF symptoms just loads of watery creamy CM and sore nipples. I usually have bad cramping by now which makes me think im going to be late again. I 100% won't be on by Tuesday.

Im so excited for you, if you're feeling super pretty and brand new again I'm sure hubby thinks this too and thats a whole lot of sexual tension to make a baby haha!! Praying this soy is working miracles.

@Elakiya awe well done for cheering @candycrush2298 up. You do make my days too with the things you come out with haha!! Your a good en ❤

@kaybobx going back to work definitely changes everything. I can safely say if we don't get a sticky one this month then we won't be dtd every night for a week next month hahahahahah. I really hope your ten stays up.. No nose diving allowed!!

@candycrush2298 with your positivity your time has to be soon, I cannot wait for the day you get a positive.. Although I know you won't believe it! Hopefully the soy has done the trick for you

@elakiya ahh I'm so pleased you have friends who are so supportive. Familys are just the worst sometimes aren't they. I'd just tell them the more they ask the less keen you are to have kids. That might make them shut up!

@candycrush2298 I knew it would be negative.. There's no way it could be positive really 😂 I'm such an idiot! @elakiya AF is due on Thursday at the latest... I think Wednesday would be more likely though as my average days went up to 27 days after my chemical last month (normally 26 days. I have been logging AF for over 2.5 years now though so it is pretty accurate on the whole)

@candycrush2298 woohoo amazing what a hair do can do for a woman. Glad you are feeling brand new.

Ooooh wonder what the ewcm was! Random. I really hope the soy works for you.

Sorry its so hard to keep up with all the messages now im back at work. I find myself about 5 pages behind by the time im home haha!!

No i didn't test. Im such a pee'er i go to the loo loads (probably as i drink alot of water) kind of gets ingrained into you working in a gym lol. I'll test in the morning and let you know, I'll be 12 or 13dpo tomorrow. My temp went up again this morning. Just waiting for that huge nose dive 😭

Are you feeling postive this month trying the soy?

@Welliedays honestly I’d tell them if they’d be supportive. They won’t be. My mum and her sisters are gossip central they just spend hours talking about everyone. The whole extended family know that my cousins husband has cheated on her multiple times and continues to cheat on her even now. I personally don’t want the whole of my extended family in my business. My closest friends know and have been supportive through out.

Sorry about the BFN. But hopefully that’s just because it’s not FMU. When is AF due?

@candycrush2298 omg that’s amazing. Hope that’s a sign the soy is giving you good healthy eggs 😁. Whoo May baby 👶

@candycrush2298 in my defence I thought they picked up at 10...theyre 25 ones when I looked at the info afterwards 🙈🙈 saving my frers for my proper test!

So for some unknown reason I decided to test, even though I haven't been holding my wee, and I used an Asda test.... So not the most sensitive. And it's as negative as it possible!! Literally not even the faintest line! Why did I so that?!

@namechangettc that's hard when it's work too.

Tbh @elakiya I'd just tell your parents.... I think we need to break the taboo of not telling people that you're struggling to conceive... A bit like mental health is now not something to hide. Not being able to just produce a baby quickly and easily shouldn't be a big secret... Think of the support you'd get from family and friends if they all knew (generically, this isn't aimed at you @elakiya). One of my friends knows about my chemical and she's been great, we just talk about it totally normally and it's made it much easier. If we struggle to get a sticky bean, then I'll defs tell some more friends as I don't think it's something to be ashamed of and would actually stop me going crazy (or more crazy than I already am 😂)

@candycrush2298 my husband seems fairly convinced we've defs fertilised the little bean as he says I'm the same as I was last month with being tired and eating alll the snacks (and he's obvs not symptom spotting like mad, so I'm taking that as a good sign that there's correlation!) but I think he's as concerned as I am that it might not stick again, so he's told me not to test too soon... I said I might tomorrow morning but he's saying to wait until at least Monday. I don't know when to do it! I just keep thinking it will be negative (even with my symptoms) or it won't stick around and we'll have the same as last month

@Welliedays sounds like it has worked for you.

@Elakiya I’m sorry. We’re the same. Work are the worst for questions.

I've just woken up for a 1.5 hour nap. Please tell me I'll get a BFP when I test. I NEVER have afternoon naps normally 😂

@candycrush2298 it’s my parents and to be honest I would tell them if they kept it to themselves but they won’t they’ll just go and tell everyone. Then all my extended family will find out and I don’t want that 😞.

I think I just need to distance myself from these people otherwise I am going to become quite depressed

I'm fortunate that we never really have anyone asking! Sorry to hear you aren't as fortunate @elakiya @candycrush2298

@candycrush2298 I guess. It feels like no one has any respect for you when you don't have kids . I think I am super emotional anyway due to AF hormones. But honestly I am sick of this.

Just had an argument with someone about not having kids yet, why do people think it’s their business to make comments like “ you’re getting old you may not be able to have kids if you leave it longer” Honestly and the comparisons to people who had their kids at 18 and still use bank of mum and dad as they please .... sorry I am fuming 😤 just needed to rant
