Post Pill TTC - Rave on

@Juno231 Oh I know exactly what you mean about trying to get a far flung non-baby-friendly holiday in! 😂 I just want some sun at the moment though, similar idea to you @LauraT94, baking poolside somewhere! Probably Greece. We'd half thought, if we can go at all, of just organising getting married while we're there on the quiet... we had 3 wedding postponements last year, so we've kind of given up on the getting married front for now while we TTC! Might be nice to do it on hol though as a surprise, keep it relaxed and just us, pre-baby.

My OH is frustrating with the DTD on demand too 🙄😂🙈 Give me strength, surely most guys would be delighted to have this problem!! He's perked up lately with it due to being back working / off furlough, which I think had him really down - he's been really enthusiastic the last couple of weeks and I've been pleasantly surprised. Though been trying to balance encouraging him while also reminding him that DTD at the moment is not contributing to baby making at all lol, so he'll still be expected to perform during FW!! The enthusiasm is promising though so I'm a bit more hopeful for this month! 💪

Ps @Juno231*@Flowers222 @LauraT94* I'm pretty sure the time we conceived in sept is a time we really didnt want to but did anyways cause of the fertile window! So worth doing it anyways

@Juno231 I agree on the very public announcements. A blogger I follow recently announced at 10 weeks and given my recent experience I was like eeeeek. Luckily she is now a lot further on and all seems well

@mrsmacmc I would definitely build the new bed frame. I have been known to do some cleaning or painting and diy on mouse wiggle days.

@Juno231 @LauraT94 I am definitely with you in the OH situation. I end up getting stroppy with him every FW. I always need to give him notice, which when very irregular has been difficult! I tried being spontaneous as I didn't want to put the pressure on and it really didn't work. It's when he asks 'can't it wait until tomorrow' NO! 🙄

@LauraT94 I tested on the 1st I had a faint line/evap on 2 tests then BFN the next day then the spotting started so I haven’t bothered testing again. I know the admin is a ball ache and I’m really hoping they don’t write my car off I’ve only had it 4 months and it’s fairly new but it is abit of a mess. Ahh atleast you have nice sea fronts, just manky canals and ponds round here 😂

@Rd123 ooh good luck!

@ChinChilly oh no that's awful! And even worse to have to face all the admin for it now! Hope the pain fades soon 🤞🏻 just seen about your 13dpo and spotting, are you going to test? Sorry if I've missed it and you already have!

@Juno231 yeah I can understand that. You're the only other person I know (other than myself!) To have Bartholin's cysts. Most people look at me like I'm mad haha, even my GP had no idea! Glad you've got your peak reading now and your 'poor OH' comment made me giggle as it reminded me that our OHs are the same in terms of reluctant to DTD so need warning 😂 I actually told mine last night that we could be trying again in as soon as 4 or 5 weeks depending when the miscarriage starts! 😂 Think that's fair warning.

@Flowers222 good luck in the TWW 🤞🏻

@Kay00 your crash sounds awful too! I find motorway driving scary enough without having had an experience like that so I can understand how it would have taken a while for you to get back to it! I'm lucky me and OH both drive.

Holidays for this year... Especially with the MC I'm dying to run away and spend at least a week poolside and baking in the sun! We have a center parcs trip booked in May and that might have to suffice (if it's not cancelled!!). Went for a long walk earlier and went via the seafront, it's not quite the same as being in the Dominican though 😂

@TheDaydreamBelievers that must have been very difficult xxx

@Juno231 My partner doesn't drive a car (just a motorbike) so I need to try and persuade him to take lessons. He says their's no point because I can drive... but that means I have to do all the driving all the time!

@mrsmacmc haha, I love a bit of DIY, so i would definitely be doing that on the sly

@crabette I'm the first person she told and I'm really glad she has.

In terms of telling people about BFP - I told her at 6 weeks, parents and PIL at 9 weeks, others at 11 weeks. Theres only a couple of people I wish I hadn't told. Overall I've appreciated the support

@mrsmacmc you can definitely get away with building the bed, I’ve been known to do my housework during mouse wiggles 😂

@crabette I’m with you on the holiday for this year! OH’s parents live abroad so even if we just manage a little break there would be enough

Giggling away at your mouse wiggle day @mrsmacmc - me too. I actually forgot it's still a bank holiday today in Scotland, so I should have 100% taken today off! It's so quiet.

It's nice news for your friend @TheDaydreamBelievers - but I feel for you, totally understand it must be hard. Does she know about your circumstances? I was thinking about early pregnancy announcements lately and thinking about what I'd do. A few friends have been recently pregnant and all waited til 12 weeks before telling me, though on more questioning did confess that they told immediate family / a BEST friend / someone who's recently been pregnant / confidante colleagues before they've fully 'announced' to most people. In my family, from experience, most have told family, including wider family before 12 weeks - with one miscarriage I remember. I think I'd have to tell my parents when I knew - I totally get what you're saying @LauraT94 in terms of them sharing the joy even if it's followed with sadness. And I'd hate my parents not knowing that had happened to me / trying to go through it alone. But, also totally get everyone's relationships are different! I would raise an eyebrow at a public / facebook announcement at 4 weeks.

CD2 today - still ridiculously light, panty-liner style non period 🙄 Clearblue OPKs arriving today, and still taking the pregnacare tabs with folic acid, inositol, vits D & B12, CoQ10 & zinc.

Thinking about holidays later in the year to try and cheer myself up today... If I'm not pregnant by March I'm booking some sunshine for September!!!

Also, my natural cycles app seems convinced AF will come next week with ZERO evidence as far as I can see. FF is officially giving no comment

@Juno231 @Flowers222

Contemplating if we can get away with building up the new bed frame that got delivered this morning between mouse wiggles as I've caught up on emails / actions that came in over the Christmas and New Year period 🤔 - Hubby put his knee through the base of the old one, fortunately it's the spare room bed so won't be used for a while got it at an absolute steal price!

Feeling the same about pregnancy announcements. My best friend also told me (privately) last night that she is pregnant. I'm so happy for her but so sad for me given recent circumstances

@Kay00 yeah I thought it was abit odd, I didn’t tell him anything he just asked the usual insurance questions! Ouch your accident sounds nasty, get the confidence thing, I’m a pretty confident driver but I drove to the supermarket yesterday and the drive just filled me with anxiety, the fact that i HATE the curtosy car they’ve given me probs didn’t help 😂

@Juno231 ah well done. Best jump him tonight!

I have been trying not to get upset about all the pregnancy announcements too... i'm of course happy for them all, but a random announcement out of the blue makes it look as though just 'fell first time', although it probably wasn't the case.

@juno231 most of my emails are bank statements and other reports that will get viewed and filed or deleted, probably only about 100 will need to be actioned.

@chinchilly hmmm... could be a scam?? Best to ignore. Sorry to hear your neck is still so sore :( I had a MASSIVE crash on the motorway a few years back. Luckily my car was the only car involved (wheel fell off) but it was smashed to pieces across all three lanes (head on crash into the central reservation at about 60mph). I was really lucky to get out alive, with just a small bruise and whiplash. It effected my confidence to drive on motorways for a good couple of years afterwards! Hoping you make a speedy recovery x

@flowers222 That's a nice clear ovulation, even if its on CD22. I'm on CD21 and nothing yet

@Juno231 get on that 🍆 to be honest I’m not sure what I’m moaning about mine are 27-30 days so I’m around the 28 day cycle 😂😂

I’m 13dpo today and still just spotting 🙄

@Flowers222 Yeah I do get a hit of jealousy with every announcement, it’s really difficult I have a friend on facebook who post something everyday about how great her pregnancy is...I have to really refrain myselt sometimes from telling her to STFU! 😂

@Juno231 neck isn’t any better, my right shoulder where my seatbelt was is playing up now aswell 🙄 ahh thats crap that your ovulation is delayed! Where do the medical professionals get this average 28 day cycle ovulation at day 14 crap from because nobody seems to have that perfect cycle.

@ChinChilly I definitely hear you about the number of pregnancy announcements. I've had 5 in the last 2 weeks. I am happy for them all but it is hard not to feel a little jealous. We did an online New Year's Eve quiz and every other couple had a baby! It's hard.

@mrsmacmc a mouse wiggle day! 😂 I love that. Definitely having one of those today. Really didn't want to get up for work this morning.

@Juno231 sorry ovulation seems to be delayed for you. Hope it happens soon!

I have had ovulation confirmed on cd22. Same as last cycle so looks like that is my new norm now. Excited to be back in the 2ww!
