@AlisonWhite how are you feeling.. cramps stopped?

@Pudding01 sounds great, and defo perfect time to be doing that!!! (Sadly!) and dw, 9dpo is still early, some people don’t even implant till later than that!!! Have a wine and give it a few more days 🤣

@Cc7750 wow spud is cute and an amazing name!!! I’m still finding the amount of prune juice you’re drinking hilarious!!!!

@Pudding01 I’m corporate too, I’d love to have the guts to do what your doing, maybe after I’ve had a small human I should consider it!

And 9dpo, your not out! My temp dropped at 6dpo and 12dpo but don’t they say you can see a drop at time of implantation which would be 9dpo or around.. maybe wait a day or two but if not just think mulled wine!

Hahaha love Spud the cat! 😂😂 See how much more fun it is with pictures.

Thank you, it was either Primary School teacher or Therapist. Complete opposite to the ever corporate Business Banking!

So I caved and tested... BFN. Gutted. But I'm only 9dpo and temp went back to normal today

@Pudding01 that’s a wicked degree and great time to have done it.. What an interesting role to have if you get into it! Much more rewarding than my role

Good morning from Spud the cat and some prune juice ha! He is like ‘what the hell is all this’...

@Cc7750 degree is in Counselling & Psychotherapy. Started the foundation course on my maternity leave and took it from there 😁 Loving the prune juice stories, wish there were pictures with it haha. Who needs boxes of wine when there's boxes of prune juice?!

@EllyNC it is a bitter sweet for me. Glad to be out, but was about a year too early! But if i can live off it for a bit then it's still a win for me 🙂

So everyone, 3 more sleeps until Santa. Are we excited? Are we prepared and all presents wrapped?

@Pudding01 that’s so naughty of them!!! Can you dispute it?? Defo take a bit of time if you can and focus on you and the studying! ☺️
@Cc7750 you are cracking me up with all this prune juice. Everyone else stocking up on bog roll and turkeys and you’re buying boxes of prune juice 😂😂😂

@Pudding01 prune juice hmmmm, like blended raisins yuk! Tesco’s must have thought I was crazy earlier, I basically bought a box of it! Can they do that ref part/full time that is so naughty! You’d think they would have done 70/30 or worked out for you, cheeky bug*ers! What’s your degree in?

Thanks ladies. What's annoying is they class the whole 13 years as part time, dismissing my 10 years full time before Erin 😂 cheeky bankers! (I am in banking) but I am also in my final year of a degree too, so am feeling relief of being able to get stuck in to that for a few weeks/months and getting the dissertation that I still haven't started done!

Oooh I didn't link gas to pregnancy. If that's the case then I hope I have more as I'm too hormonal for any non baby making sexy time atm!
Hahaha @Cc7750 How is all the prune juice??

@unCliche sorry AF got you but 2021 is the year

@Pudding01 that’s crap but every silver lining... 13years I hope a good package and maybe even a few months off to decide your next career or company path. I had over 3 months off between my last role (gardening leave) but what an amazing time to recharge!

@EllyNC I’m pleased I’m not the only one... gassy... I am vile at the moment (she says whilst drinking ‘cheaper’ prune juice ha)

What terrible news @Pudding01. Definitely not what you need a few days before Christmas, or ever, for that matter! Use this time to relax and to focus on you. You'll have 13 years worth of redundancy pay so hopefully you won't feel too panicked about it all.

Also @Pudding01 I was so so so gassy in early pregnancy with my DS- it was hideous! So maybe a good sign?? 🤞🏻

Oooh @Pudding01 I’m so sorry to hear that ☹️☹️ God this year has been shite hasn’t it!!!

Sorry @unCliche ❤

My redundancy was confirmed today. Happy Xmas! Lol I'm ok, just mixed feelings of sadness for losing my job after 13 years and relief for finally catching a break after being worked in to the ground over the last 9 months.

Feel like changing my name to gassiusmaximus today. Actually ridiculous. Extremely gassy, lower dull aches, boobs painful and a headache. Must be the change in hormones!

@unCliche sorry lovely! Onto the next cycle 😁
@Pudding01 oh gosh sorry to hear your job is in limbo!!! Hope you get the news you want!!! And I wouldn’t worry about a dip either.
I worked a night shift last night, just temped after about 2 hours sleep so probs pretty inaccurate but I’ve plotted it anyway and it now says im 4dpo (tho suspect i’m actually 3dpo!) Getting into ss territory haha

Hey ladies, yeaaah AF got me! Good news is LP this month was 12 days. However I had spotting at 10dpo and 12dpo so not sure if that will impact my fertility. I never got to test and I'm sort of glad I didn't. This cycle was so strange I'd rather not know what went on!

@Pudding01 don't worry about a dip. It probably doesn't mean anything right now.

Really hoping so 🙏 Will just top this year off nicely if AF came at Xmas 😅 Find out whether I'm getting made redundant today.

How are you all?

Did AF show @unCliche?

Hey. My DD woke up an hour earlier today, I tried to go back to sleep to get my temps right but ended up using adjuster. Even adjusted it's still dipped down today at 8dpo. So not looking positive with only 4 days left until AF.

Hey girls, sorry catching up!
@unCliche hope the spotting stops and it turns out not to be AF!! Sorry if it is but defo great news about the LP being a bit longer!! I don’t think spotting counts??
@Cc7750 eeeesh that’s so annoying!! 🤞🏻 He comes back negative and you guys are all in the clear!
@RR21 I wouldn’t say you’re out yet! I had bfn at 11/12 dpo last month then a positive at 13 (if I’m remembering right). I know it ended up being a chemical But don’t think that was much to do with how late I got the positive!! Keeping everything crossed for you!
@Pudding01 are you going to wait to test??

@unCliche my app doesn't count spotting as AF. I have to put light/medium/heavy. I'm still crossing everything that is stays as just spotting. Brown is old blood isn't it. Will be thinking of you. Let us know either way ❤

Also, @RR21 sorry about you BFN. There's still time yet! I'll be holding out hope for you!
