Yogurt pot yuppies, sexy basters and UFO discs - part 3

Not getting a lot of time to check in here, due to massive issues at work all week, oh the joys! Just catching up, lovely to hear about your scans, Eloise and Adrianna, what great news 😊. And fingers crossed for your upcoming scan, @Makingnumber2 😁

I'm CD12, tried out my ferti-lily today, it was just a practice run, I ovulated CD23 last month so possibly quite a while to go yet.

Oh no, sorry to hear that @MrsKin90. This is my first time trying something but I still had to use a syringe with the ferti-lily so it does feel a bit "what's the point". 🙈. I keep telling myself that people can and do get pregnant just using syringes 🤞

I really don't like using the ziggy cup/a cup for SI 🤔 first one this cycle and there was definitely swimmers on both side of the cup when I took it out. My plan is to do it "traditionally" (🙄 meaning with a syringe) for the rest of this cycle.

@Makingnumber2 that's really lovely ❤️

Hope everyone's okay today.

Absolutely @eloiseislost time for you to be waited on hand and foot!!

@eloiseislost I would absolutely have loved that reaction too!! We sadly had to let our cleaner go at start of lockdown 1 and I have missed her everyday for nearly a year 😂😂😭😭

Yes Happy Valentines all! 💖💖
I did tell DH this morning @eloiseislost- I wrote a little poem in his V day card. Was funny watching his face- he looked a bit puzzled and then the penny dropped! He’s spent all morning listing all the diy jobs he has to get done before baby comes 😂 just hope it’ll still all be good news at the scan next Sunday🤞🏻🤞🏻

Oh @eloiseislost this is a joy to see! So happy for you 🥰🥳 keep on sticking little bean!

@Janefx40 nice to see you on again, hope you are well ☺️

@Makingnumber2 I use my sense of smell as part of my job (when Boris allows me to work again 🙄) I have a good olfactory system, so st least it’s not getting wasted on the various smells of semen and vaginal fluids 😂
Hope the nausea doesn’t get too bad for you xx

Congratulations @eloiseislost truly thrilled for you. 🥳🌈❤️ Hope the time passes quickly until your next scan! 4 more weeks for me 😅

Congrats @eloiseislost this is lovely news and what a lovely clear scan picture! X

@eloiseislost congratulations lovely 😍 brilliant news xxx

Aww what a perfect blob @eloiseislost hopefully now you can start to relax a little bit, and then the 12 week scan will help even more. Congratulations 🥰

@Makingnumber2 hoping your nausea doesn't get too bad but just bad enough to provide some reassurance? 😁

Amazing!! So pleased for you what lovely news!!! Come on rainbow bean keep growing and sticking! xxx

@eloiseislost congratulations 🎉 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉❤️❤️❤️❤️

Thinking of you this morning @eloiseislost 💕

Thank you @Janefx40 I have started to feel more nauseous on and off in last 24 hours weirdly enough so I’m sure the sickness is on it way soon! How are you doing at the moment?

Oily and MrsKin your exchange about semen smell cracked me up reading this morning! You are like a pair of semen sommeliers with those detailed smelling notes 😂😂

Thinking of you too bigsweetpotato and hoping you’ll have or already do have some answers. Also hope you were able to speak to GP about time off if that’s what you feel you need xxx

Hi Ladies. It's a few weeks since I signed off Mumsnet and I just wanted to check in and see how you are and so much has happened.

Firstly @eloiseislost congratulations. So excited to see you've had a positive pregnancy test. I realise today you will be feeling nervous but have everything crossed for a good scan today.

@Makingnumber2 congrats to you too. I remember feeling desperate for symptoms too in the early weeks of my first pregnancy but it is still very early. I didn't get nausea until about week 8/9. Every pregnancy is different too so may be different to your first.

@bigsweetpotato I'm so sorry about your news. It is agonising waiting for answers. The situation with my miscarriage was different to yours but similar in terms of not having clear answers and having to wait for more tests/scans etc. It was an agonising time. I called the Miscarriage Association a few times and just talked to / cried at the midwives there. I found that helpful. They also have a FB site that I found useful at the time. Miscarriages are hard and I will always carry that loss with me but I have recovered over time. Sending you lots of love.

Lots of love to all of you xxx

😁🥰

@MrsKin90 I’ve enjoyed the laughs today, I really needed it. So thank you for making me smile xx

Hmm yes perhaps a sour note 😂 well I'm glad I brought the tone of the thread right the way down to sperm smells! It's a unique gift everyone should aspire to 😆

@eloiseislost at least not too far into the say so sleep in if you can and it'll be here before you know it. Especially if you go to bed now!

@Sydney1986x I’m sorry I missed this-I hope you recover really quickly from Covid. Get well really soon!

@eloiseislost wishing you the very best for tomorrow ☺️

@MrsKin90 yes I get some seepage when I stand up but the get a really delayed seepage 🤔 it’s deffo sperm as it has that very distinct smell. Not offensive but....unique. A base note of sourness 😅

@Oilyoilyoilgob that's really weird! 😂 At least your body is in a routine with it??
