Post Pill Party - The Ceilidh

OMGOMG is anyone awake to double check this test as I may have delusional line eyes! Why would you be its 6am on a sat morning FFS! Held wee for as long as I could this morning as so nervous and now sat on toilet shaking!! Its really really faint but I think it is there!! So scared to tell me OH in case it's not as I already told him I was out this month. Aaaaaaaaaaaah!!

@Juno231 can I just admit a horrible secret that I spoke with a “medium” (who i paid) who asked how I was trying for before giving me a prediction of when I would get pregnant and basically told me any time within the year of the date I said I had stopped taking the pill. I was like I know that ffs 🤦🏽‍♀️ never felt so stupid in my life for paying for that 😂😂😂😂😂

Ladies ladies ladies... We've been doing it all wrong - we were meant to MANIFEST it all along! (has anyone watched selling sunset cause it's brilliant but omg)

@minipilling hope you feel better soon!

@MissC07 it is crazy! I even miss the office atmosphere at this point! We have quite a bantery team and everyone gets on. I can’t even imagine how some people must be feeling we are so lucky that me and OH have kept our jobs, he even got a new one and we’ve actually benefited from things like interest rates on our mortgage. So hoping for some normality soon 😭

@ChinChilly It's insane isn't it!!! We had a job at work and there were 300 applications in the first day! Most didn't have any experience but their situations must be so awful right now people are clutching at anything. God I miss 'normal' life. Let's hope BoJo provides some sort of glimmer of hope on Monday!

Sorry I haven't checked latest replies - 10dpo and on the sofa waiting for food to cook. I feel nauseous and crampy with gas and bloating, really bad. Weird because I feel OK one minute (today I did housework, ate lunch, showered, put makeup on, started organising some things) and feel awful the next like I need to go to the bathroom. May be my IBS though because I do get these episodes, especially around my period. Due tomorrow. I just want to feel less sick! Cramps (uterus and stomach) coming in waves. Hope everyone else is doing better!

@Kay00 thank you, hoping O Happens for you too!! Oooo the food shop is a night out these days!

@Juno231 @TheDaydreamBelievers I’m the same i like my job but I’ve got no motivation atm! And my boss is so annoying she’s nice enough but shes got no idea!

@MissC07 I had a notification for a job in indeed it had only been up an hour and had gotten over 400 applications 😮

@Juno231 Yep job hater here 🙋🏼‍♀️ I mean I know I'm extremely fortunate to have a job in current times but I hate it! I am literally bored just staring at my screen all day but I'm expected to be available within 2 seconds of my boss asking for something so I constantly feel on edge. I just feel useless and down the whole time. Desperately looking for a new job but worried I won't qualify for mat leave (that's even if I get another job as the market is so saturated with candidates at the moment!)

@Juno231 gah... i'm really struggling with motivation in work too... I'm sure its a 2nd lockdown + shitty weather thing. Also, I was hoping to be pregnant by now!!

@ChinChilly My CM has gone creamy/lotiony too... but my cervix is still high, soft and open so... we'll see! I'm feeling much more positive about your Ov though - I'm sure your temp will just keep on going up and up!

@sperr maybe time to take the watch off haha! I hope you're able to test tomorrow!

All this holiday chat is making me dream of future travels. My OH and I never got married (we have been together for 17 years... 18 years in September!!) and I doubt it will happen (neither of us are that keen lol), but we have always joked we would have a 'we're not getting married' party... a big festival style party with kegs of ale/cider, a live band and glamping tents etc. followed by an exotic holiday. But it'll have to wait a few years longer I suspect!

Right... i'm off to do my food shop at the local Sainsburghs... which is about the most exotic place I have been all year!

@sperr I'm so excited

@MissC07 was it you who said you hated your job? I've been really struggling with mine lately - I basically just stare at the screen all day and can't bring myself to do any of it! Zero motivation.

@Juno231 my ICs might be at home! I’m working late today so I won’t have time to get a test today but if they haven’t arrived I will go get one on Saturday (provided AF hasn’t shown up of course!)

@sperr does this mean there's no shot of you getting a FRER today?!

@ChinChilly I think I might be president of the dramatic club! Literally looked at my watch and was like it’s over 😂😂😂!

That sounds positive about your ovulation though!

@Sperr oh welcome to the dramatic club 🙃 yeah I get what you mean about not wanting to waste annual leave!

@Flowers222 camping in your garden 😂 brilliant!
That must be really difficult not seeing parents! I’m lucky my parents only live a 5-10 min drive away so it’s easy enough to have a socially distanced convo on the driveway!

My CM has gone very creamy/lotiony so I’m guessing I’ve either ovulated or my body attempted to and failed...we’ll see over the next few days

@Flowers222 @TheDaydreamBelievers ooh where in Canada??

I am definitely missing the holidays. @TheDaydreamBelievers we had our honeymoon in Canada last year, it all kicked off whilst we were over there so we were quite lucky with the timing. Had a lot of friends asking us to bring hand sanitizer back with us 😂 Canada is such a beautiful place, you won't regret a honeymoon there!

We were hoping to go skiing for our 1st wedding anniversary next week but that's obviously not happening. DH said the only thing we could do is camp in the garden!

@abi555 ooo so exciting! Keep us updated, so hope this is it for you!

@ChinChilly I agree, I kinda enjoyed the first lockdown, the sun was shining, I could work in the garden, didn't mind it at all. This one is really getting me down. My parents live 2 hrs away so it's been almost 6 months since I've seen them which isn't helping.

@Gracie2021 basically my RHR dropped for 10 mins and I had a melt down 😂. I think I might be the dramatic one now 😂😂😂

@abi555 good luck!!!

I miss holidays- we managed to sneak one in in august but we love winter breaks so I feel lost. I feel like there is no point taking annual leave at the moment either to just sit at home with shit weather!!! I’m so tired from work but I don’t want to waste me annual leave

@abi555 yes! We wanted to do Vietnam or Colombia and ended up just nipping to Sicily for a week in September.

I do get a fair bit of anxiety about all the things that will be so much harder to do once we have kids. E.g. trekking in Peru, hiking in the Rocky Mountains, yoga retreats, boozy hols etc

@abi555 I feel like covid has stolen the last years of my 20’s I was 28 when it started and I’m going to be 30 in August.

@MissC07 omg a sun lounger with a cocktail 😭

Hi ladies!! Sorry been a bit quiet as not much going on with me, CD5 and I only had a 2 day AF so just waiting to start OPK's again soon.

@abi555 Your chart looks so good!!! Fingers crossed for tomorrow doing a FRER!

@ChinChilly Wooo for ovulation! Fingers crossed your temps rising!

All this holiday talk is making me want to book one so badly!! The last time I got on a plane was Feb 2020 when I went to go and see my brother in Ireland. We're supposed to be going to Portugal in June that was rearranged from last year, but I can't see that happening especially as we'd have to quarantine in one of those hotels on the way back!!! Urghh what I'd give to be on a sun lounger now with a cocktail reading a book!!

@ChinChilly ooooh I totally get you there! Had a zoom with some girlfriends last night and it was lovely to see their faces but I want soooo badly to go out for cocktails with them again! This lockdown is really bugging me too. Coped quite well with the others, but this one is seriously dragging now!

Ah, holidays! Just the thought makes me nostalgic! We managed to do a quick city break to prague in Feb last year just before covid hit and so glad we did. Dreaming of the next time I can get on a plane!

Also, (this sounds so first world problems!!) but is anyone else annoyed that covid has stolen our last year of being able to go on exciting, baby-free holidays? We had so many places we wanted to go to off the beaten track so to speak that (if we're lucky enough to get BFP) we will probably not get the chance to now as it's not easy to adventure as a family!

I'll keep you updated on tomorrow - have 1 FRER but will keep it for FMU tomorrow. Really trying not to get my hopes up though as I honestly think it's going to be a BFN. Suppose my chart will tell me in the morning, if temp drops then question answered!
