@Peachycream

Welcome *@PeanuttyButter*! I’m sorry, I’m going to be dumb and ask you what an ERCP is? You don’t have to say if you don’t want to though. Welcome to the gang!

@HRP1990 😂😂😂 we have lowered the tone

Evacuation and Removal of the Products of Conception. It's the procedure used to remove a miscarriage that is incomplete. I had one when I miscarried as my body continued thinking I was pregnant.

😂😂😂 minge mushrooms 🍄 such an attractive thought!

This is probably a bit controversial but I actually never bother testing (for pregnancy not fungus). I usually start pre-🧙‍♀️ spotting at about 10 dpo so I just wait for that to start and save myself the hassle. A negative earlier than that is just pointless because I manage to convince myself it doesn’t mean anything anyway as it’s too early. Doesn’t mean it’s any less heartbreaking when 🧙‍♀️ shows herself though!

Monte mushrooms has just totally buckled me. As does fanny fungus

Welcome @PeanuttyButter hopefully we'll be able to provide you with some friendship, definitely find this group very comforting when you can't talk about things in real life.

Just googled it, sorry to hear about that. How are you feeling in yourself?? Xxxx

SkeletonSkins · 21/06/2021 21:55

Welcome @PeanuttyButter, fingers crossed you catch easily without having to add in all the stressy bits! Sadly I’ve never managed to be relaxed in my life 😂😂

@Peachycream I don’t think I’ve said before, I’m an educational psychologist lol, sounds fancier than it is. I work with kids with special needs or mental health needs basically, although lots of it is meetings and report writing. How about you?

Omg what have I just read 😂 creasing up in bed!

Hi all
Age 33 TTC #1 since November 2020, 24 day cycle usually but had an ERPC at the start of June at 9.5 weeks, so don't know where I am with my cycles again yet. DH and I are just seeing how things go for the next few months, hoping I catch without 'trying' to make life a bit easier. Joining for support as I don't feel I can talk to anyone in real life.

Oh my god @SkeletonSkins like a mushroom log? Gross 🤢

How was your day? What do you do for work? Sorry I’ve you’ve said before, I can’t remember 🤔

Damn - OP was a previously banned poster on the thread, well done those that spotted the troll 😂

SkeletonSkins · 21/06/2021 21:17

Off to go and read that thread as my next mind numbing exercise - totally agree with loving reality TV, it’s my switch off!

SkeletonSkins · 21/06/2021 21:17

Omg had the busiest day at work and reading through all your posts has been a great way to switch off this evening!!

@80sPadme sorry about the BFN but defo still early - I read a post the other day saying when did you get your BFP and the most common was 10-11 DPO, some were like 14/15/16 days so defo still in tbe game.

I actually read the other day, and how gross is this, that men can kind of keep the thrush on their whatsit and bloody reinfect us 😂😂 so prob best to to keep the mushrooms to ourselves 😂😂

Feel free to use it, although, don’t call it cream, they may think you’re making carbonara 😂 @Sparklingwine1

@GingerTea333 I’m impressed by your restraint! That was my aim last cycle, but it didn’t work out that way. This one I aim to be more controlled

Sparklingwine1 · 21/06/2021 21:10

Omg 😂😂

I shall use that phrase when in the pharmacy:

'What minge mushroom treatment is safe in potential early pregnancy please?'

Also I didn't clarify in my earlier message but when I said I've been using a hot tub it hasn't been hot, we used it cold when we had the heatwave (I know they are bad to use too hot when TTC!)

KayL1988 · 21/06/2021 21:07

@GingerTea333 that's so impressive!!! I tested a lot last month but because I had no idea when I ovulated it was all a bit more chaotic.

This month I've been more patient ..... honestly it's definitely the best way to just wait for 🧙‍♀️ but when I have plans that may involve drinks I hate not knowing 😅

Yeah that was my thought peachy! I also laughed at fungus ridden 😂😂

😂😂😂😂😂😂 I’m sorry @Sparklingwine1 I know it’s not funny, but the fungus riddled really made me laugh haha.

I think thrush in pregnancy is quite common right? So I would assume most of the creams would be safe to use?

OP posts:
KayL1988 · 21/06/2021 20:20

@Sparklingwine1 I think you can treat thrush when pregnant anyway! I think you could just say to the pharmacist you are trying to conceive!

They'll know the air on side of caution!!

Sparklingwine1 · 21/06/2021 20:15

Sorry to hear that @80sPadme there's nothing worse than seeing than BFN ☹️ I think half the reason why I'm putting off testing is because if it's a BFN I'd rather not know!
As others have said though, you are still in the game. On my first month TTC I was in a different group and a lady on there had BFNs right up until 14 DPO

Sparklingwine1 · 21/06/2021 20:13

It's lovely to catch up with all the messages this evening.

(TMI post warning)

I have a bit of rubbish news 😳😤 I felt a bit 'off' down below and did one of those at home canesten tests and I have friggin thrush!! I've not had thrush since I was about 20 years old!

I have no idea what's brought it on. It might have been the increase in DTD or the fact I've been using a hot tub 🤭 I'm going to go to the pharmacy tomorrow but I don't know what to say ... 'I may or may not be pregnant but won't know until the weekend so can I still use this cream?' 😂

I just want it to clear up before the next fertile window as I'm not sure DH will want to touch me if I'm fungus riddled 🍄 🚫

80sPadme · 21/06/2021 16:44

@KayL1988

Love being a TV squirrel! I might do the same.

Sorry about that @80sPadme ... but it's still very early days! Give it another few days! Somewhere said you should never test in single digits as the odds of getting a positive are so much lower before you get into double digits! Hopefully it's burrowing away!

Thankyou, I'm hoping that's true xx
