Tactical seduction and POAS addicts

@MrsCristianoX Yup! We think he caught it at work. He's already unwittingly passed it to a friend we saw on Saturday 🤦🏻‍♀️ He didn't have symptoms until this morning.

@TheBirdintheCave ohh nooo 😢 first time?

@calimc83 hey lady, hope you are keeping well xx

Andddd my husband has Covid 🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️ I don't have it at the moment but we are now officially a plague house 🙄

We've both avoided it since the start so my husband is really annoyed he's got it now 😂

Hey 👋 still stalking you girls if that's ok?! Feel too invested to lose you all..and I can't keep up with the old thread! xx

@mummatara I nearly drop kicked the man telling me. It's a bad area tbh. I had my phone with me and was waiting for a dr call for DD so I got a text jumped up and excused myself. The text was a junk text 🙈 but I calmed myself down outside the room. Then walked in and said 'great idea..il be doing no more Saturdays'

Good luck 🤞🤞 if you do test xx 😘

@MrsCristianoX oh no 😳 I'm not sure that can be considered a solution 🤷🏼‍♀️ bet you're wish it was you kicking the shutters now! Honestly scares me how many nutty people are out there. And not nutty in a good way the scary nutters 😳 I was going to test on weds but I'm so tempted to do it tomorrow. Think I'll see how well my morning goes no doubt we'll be running very late and that will go out the window 😂

@pangolin84 @mummatara absolutely cray cray😂 fml I dunno if I mentioned my Saturday drama at work some absolute nut case screaming at the pharmacy and kicking the shutters (not me 😅) anyway I reported it the owner who was absolutely sympathetic, was called into a meeting and after thinking all weekend it turns out the 'solution' to our problem is to open later. I thought only DH was irritating me. I was very wrong.

@bunnykins123 Yes I did end up getting some from Medichecks to put my mind at ease as it’s impossible to get a GP appointment and all was normal except slightly low testosterone. Apparently doing some strength training could help increase it but that is not going to happen any time soon. My main worry was my thyroid but TSH was about 1.75 so that’s not the reason I’m tired all the time (it might have something to do with my two year old stead…).

Got my temp rise today and now fertility friend has decided I’m 3 dpo. I feel like that can’t be right as I only got my first high OPK in the evening 3 days ago and I thought it took a bit of time after the LH surge to release an egg?! 🤷‍♀️

@MrsCristianoX 🤣🤣 oh my days

@MrsCristianoX 🤣🤣🤣

Well ladies I've just done a pregnancy test for absolutely no reason at all. Maybe to see if immaculate conception was a thing. It isn't 😂 👍🏼

@theblueflowers thank you yes it is 💪🏼 sorry if you've answered already somewhere 🙈 will you go for an early scan?

@FfayeN 😆 yes for the greater good

DS just poured the dogs water all over the kitchen to "splash" 🙄 we've only been home 30 mins 😂

@Indianna2006 @TheBirdintheCave @FfayeN ah you are all so great- you just get it!

@FfayeN I've done exactly the same about due dates as with both I had/have best friends due the same month and I think that helped with moving on with the 'what ifs'

@TheBirdintheCave we absolutely are! We will all get there though. Sorry to hear you're not well, that kind of sickness is just awful! Hope you can take it easy today and it's a bug that is over quickly.

@Indianna2006 thank you! I'm trying to think really pragmatically and remind myself how common MCs are and that it could very well have just been bad luck that it happened twice. I'm only 5 weeks so a long way to go, but this is a new sperm, new egg- positive thinking!

@theblueflowers I get that feeling. I somehow just knew my last pregnancy wasn't going to work out and when my sister in law announced her pregnancy to the family a week after me I was so upset.

Turns out we both had missed miscarriages 🤷🏻‍♀️ I put too much faith in the strength of tests I think (hers were dark and mine were faint) yet we both had the same outcome.

I guess what I'm trying to say is that there is zero reason you won't end up with a baby this time. We are just as worthy as people who get pregnant at the drop of a hat :)

...

I ended up catching my son's stomach bug from Friday so was extremely sick all night 😭

@theblueflowers that’s totally normal. I think we do a lot of self preservation. But you have to try keep the faith.
how many weeks are you now? Rainbow babies are all around us so they happen. And it’s just as much your turn as anyone else’s 🙂🌈

@mummatara great news about those levels! Hopefully this last bit is quick and you can get back to business. That temp drop is also really encouraging.

@lovenaps you've definitely done nothing wrong! It was not intentional at all, just so many people at the moment!

I met up with a friend yesterday who told me that she was 9 weeks pregnant. It's amazing news as her first was IVF and this one is completely natural. My first thought though was that when mine fails, I'm going to have to watch her go though her pregnancy which is near enough the same timings as what mine would be. I've had no symptoms yet to justify this, I just think it's self preservation.

@FfayeN let's hope so 🤞🏼 if we do fall this cycle I would have missed all enjoyable drinking occasions this year wedding honeymoon and birthday 😂 but I would def trade the fun drinking for a baby ❤️ youre right they just don't know what to say about it half the time frustrating as it is we have to remember that's how they work. I'm sure he's looked at some of my outbursts this year and thought wtf because I never show too many emotions I'm usually a good practical dealer of emotions but this year it's all come out 😂

@FfayeN haha I'm not expecting miracles..mind it would help if I wasn't so damn moody. Must work on that..😂 I just want this blood test over already

@MrsCristianoX I will def go when the nhs offers you something you take it imo 😆 ahhh I hope so what a nice Xmas present 🤞🏼 haha oh the hormones I have been a moody bag all weekend I know it's them doing it 🙊

@Indianna2006 I'm so curious if ovulation will happen this cycle🤞🏼haha of course I'm getting right back to it don't want to waste any time 🤣 we've dtd every few days since bleeding stopped I haven't done any opks as they would be pos atm so didn't see the point in wasting them. I've been quite relaxed about it all I think as I'm not expecting to O so if I do happy bonus 💪🏼

@bunnykins123 yes totally agree stupid body making all that hcg unnecessarily 🙄 don't you worry I remembered your advice from last time I've been downing green tea as much as poss 😆 and gentle exercise. I'll test again weds I think

@mummatara I think you've passed it. I think because you technically were quite far along, your HCG was high so is just taking a while to drop. But hopefully a scan will reassure you and you can move on 🤞 mine took agggges to go down and I read that exercise and green tea help speed up the process. It worked!

@curliegirlie honestly, I have no idea what my DH thinks. He's a closed book to all this but every time I mention alternative methods, he seems onboard. My point is, without talking to him you won't know what he's thinking. Jeez, it's a hard convo, I get that but at some point you need to have it for your own sanity. You never know, he might actually be more up for it than you think!

@lovenaps awh hun, you've done nothing wrong! I'm a terrible tagger. In fact, I often tag the wrong people 🤷‍♀️

@pangolin84 I think do what feels right. I hear you about that big 'tick tick' noise in the head but actually, I don't think that helps much either. I'm full of covid-type-rotten thing so once I'm over this, I'm going to start getting my zen out and just accept what will be will be. Have you had any bloods taken just out of interest? I can't remember...

@FfayeN totally agree that you need to deal with your own mental health before anyone else's 💕
