Hi @Morticia31 sorry I didn’t reply to you- I’ve taken some time off the threads and mumsnet as it all got abit too much for my MH. Having a break from TTC as I’ve got to have a rubella vaccine booster and a colonoscopy from my smear so taking a few months off. How are you doing? Any good news? 🤞🏼❤️ xx

@Morticia31 oh nice! At least it was easy and cosy choice 😂 oh no that’s rubbish- still it might just be because you’re noticing everything a lot more, I think I’ve become hyper aware of every single motion my body makes now since TTC!! how you feeling now? Xx

@Morticia31 I feel you!! I am the exactly same - pretty sure Sauvignon blanc ran through my veins at some point and now I don’t drink at all 😂 I have had one since being on though as I was in a foul mood the other night- funny how your view on cutting things out changes when you’re TTC?! I am the same with coffee! Aww bless her sounds like a lovely eve xx

@Morticia31 I need to relax a bit as I am counting down the weeks/days now I know my cycle a bit better and my test results are coming back in a bit more positive, but I know what you mean! It's hard to switch off from TTC Brain sometimes isn't it.

Yes all good here, quick week too- looking forward to the weekend 😄xx

Thanks @Morticia31 - I think the B6 has actually helped regulate my cycle which is a big help with all the tests etc but I deffo need to learn to relax and not stress about TTC - I feel like it's taken over my life!! Fingers crossed for you - hope this TWW goes quickly for you! 30 kids in school will keep you busy I am sure! How is your week going? xx

Morning @afinethingindeed im okay, AF arrived for me this morning so I’m out until the next cycle. Bit disappointed but also relieved as my cycle seems to have regulated to the same amount as last months and I can book my day 2 blood test. How are you?

@Morticia31 how are you getting on xxx

sorry guys been a bit quiet going back to work after half term forget how exhausting 30 children can be 🤣

aww @AL1424 atleast it seems a bit regular now , my ttc vitamins really messed up my cycle and once I stopped went back to normal again 🤷🏻‍♀️

I’m due af in 9 days so just keeping my fingers crossed now xxx

@Morticia31 yep! Got my cervical smear result back yesterday (6 week backlog!!) and they’ve asked for a further investigation which made me burst into tears - v hormonal and emotional at the moment 😂 I’m sure it’s fine and I know it’s really common but I’m very touchy I think at the moment with all this PCOS, TTC and smear test etc. I have the same sad days thinking it’ll never happen for me why am I not normal etc, peaks and troughs! But We will get there 🙌🏼

went out for dinner last night which was nice to unwind from the week from hell and just chilling the rest of it what about you? Xx

@AL1424 im soo glad they are looking positive ! It really is hard not to google & spiral I had some spotting last month & immediately convinced myself it was menopause, I’m 31 🤦🏻‍♀️!!!
just had a few sad days thinking it would never happen then got back to trying & feeling pretty good about this month but also nervous incase of another negative BUT it’ll be worth it in the end ..
do you have any plans for the weekend ?anyone?

OP posts:
AL1424 · 16/02/2023 17:19

Thanks @Morticia31 - already googled my result as I’ve seen it online and looking positive so far and that I’ve ovulated but will obvs wait to hear the official results from the doctor - its so hard not to google and spiral!!

that looks pretty positive to me 🤩

Good luck with the bloods @AL1424
hopefully it doesn’t turn up tho 🤞🏼

I’ve got a pretty positive ovulation test today (we’ll I assume it is😅) so hoping we’ve timed it right this month & will keep going for a few days anyway 😂

attached a picture just to see what you think the line came up instantly never had one this dark before?
