@GeoSmed it massively irritating. She's been making comments since we got married Jan 2022 and I've always just shut her down and basically told her to piss off. She's not said anything for a while but my sis messaged me yday to say mum had asked her while they were out with loads of my other family for a meal.
Was asking if we were planning babies/waiting to buy a new house/having problems.
What the fuck does it have to do with you?!? Honestly that's what I want to message her saying!! Lol.

We don't have any babies yet but I'm sure she knows we want them.. however I've never discussed that with my mum in my life.

I'd say I'm not particularly close with her, more so with my sis who I have told about our situation.
It's just wound me up and that together with my weird cycle and irregular spotting and non ovulation is making me super emotional and depressed today xx

I can’t believe your mum said that. I’m so sorry you had to hear her thoughts on your parenthood via your sister. Does she know you want a second then? Cuz if not then that’s massively presumptuous. Funnily enough a podcast I listened to yesterday was about how people freely say ‘when are you going to have a second!’ When people assume cuz you had one the second will be easy. Or that you can! People thankfully have stopped asking me and my husband when we are as I think they’ll probably know somethings up as we’ve always talked about kids but still not here so people don’t mention it now. 😂

Sorry your mum said that. I hope you’re okay. Are you close with her and your sister? And what @Amy95 said - people telling their opinion on your life is not on. X

@dabs9 sorry I didn’t mean that to be digging out your family. It came out wrong. Sorry. X

@Amy95 I know, it's so intrusive. If I wanted to discuss it when my mum I'd have done it already lol.
It's been on my mind the last 2 days since my sister told me and I'm at the point I've decided to just tell her everything and then tell her not to ask me any questions unless I bring it up! 🤷‍♀️

Omg what is your Chinese order normally? I could kill for some salt & pepper chips!
You've had so many preggo symptoms this month, I'll be so disappointed for you if you're not xx

Is taste going funny a symptom? I had a chicken curry jacket potato at lunchtime and could barely taste it. Wondering if the curry was just bland but I also couldn't really taste the onion in the salad 🤔
Clutching at straws but I've totally got my hopes up today. I just feel pregnant but can't put my finger on why. I've been so good at staying rational and objective last 12 days and now it's gone out the window! Hopefully not setting myself up for a fall 🤞🤞🤞

I've got more pale pink mucus tonight. I just don't know what the hell js happening inside me and it's really getting me down 😖

@GeoSmed Haha, my manager's first day was today! 1st of the month - so not earlier in the week 🤣 1" off my height but I think you did pretty good!

@Amy95 Your hair is INCREDIBLE. Mermaid hair!

I'm so proud of so many of us resisting even more tests 😅 Also how many of us are getting CM in this TWW? I wasn't expecting any but here we are!

Awww thankyou 🥰🥰🥰xxx

@Amy95 Hey! I'm getting on ok thank you 😊
My biggest irritation at the moment is that I've been told my mum has been asking my sister if I'm planning to get pregnant/why we're not having a baby yet. And it's really driven me mad lol.
Other than that I'm just waiting for signs I'm getting ready to ovulate. Or hopefully I'll bleed soon and everything will reset.

How're you? If AF does arrive this month do you think you'll next ovulate while in Tenerife?? How lovely would that be when you're all relaxed and happy 🌞 xx

Omg !! That's one thing I don't agree with is people who ask questions like that when in reality you are trying your hardest 🥺 I'd be crazy so your feelings are totally normal ❤️ I'm ok yes if AF comes by Sunday I'll be ovulating on holiday, so maybe a Tenerife baby 😂😂 also Luke came home with Chinese and I couldnt eat it 🤢🤢my favourite aswell xxx

No, actually my thread pals on Mumsnet talked me down and then I just waited until 8 weeks for an early scan 🤣

Oh soooo cute! I guess we'd have to order in advance with Etsy so makes sense to decide what we want now 🤣

@GeoSmed I'd LOVE to join you with a July pregnancy and have another April baby 😍

I wouldn’t listen to a word I say. I am largely clueless a lot of the time anyway 😂

but July is the month i think. We shall see. I might just dress mouse as a baby and settle for that as a future.

dabs9 · 01/06/2023 18:24

@GeoSmed bless you, it's so much waiting around and unknown isn't it. It's like you're having excessively long cycles when you're having to wait essentially 2 cycles length to just ovulate once 😖

Why it all goes one way one month and completely different the next when nothing is different baffles me! Bodies are so complex.
Really hoping tomorrow brings some surprise positive news for you 🤞 xx

You got me! Makes it so much worse when I’m literally not even leaving my body to make the hormones itself to ovulate - I’m giving them it to do the job for it and they’re still not playing. What I don’t get is why it was responding on Monday then bam, all change in 2 days. I just don’t know what to expect. Or what I can do to make it work, like what am I doing wrong, you know?. I feel a bit lost with it if I’m honest and oh I dunno. Who even knows. Thank you darling. I shall report back direct from the lions den 😈

@LeopardLover hahahha omg I love that. Moving heavy furniture = clearly ectopic.
I feel like that would definitely be something I'd do too. Did you go in to hospital to be checked for it?

I was looking at little etsy gifts the other week for revealing to husband but then I had to have a word with myself and remind myself I'm not actually pregnant yet! 🤣 x

Uh it must be so difficult to keep positive when you've had not great news at the last scan. But the Drs must not think it's impossible for there to be a positive change tomorrow?
I think I'd feel the same as you though and go in expecting the worst and anything better than that is a bonus. You end up that way to protect yourself as best you can don't you.

When wills ovulation be next month if it comes to that? X

Exactly! The F is fundamental!
Oh no way! I'm 1st, so super close. Fellow Aquarian then which means you're probably equally as mental as me and erratic. I don't even know what they're thinking. I think a lot of the time they just wing it 😆I don't understand why my body isn't responding when last month I did exactly the same as I have this month, yet this month it isn't working. Body's are just arseholes, well mine is anyway. and yeah absolutely that's it - if I expect abandon, then I won't be disappointed. We'll see, watch this space. I'm bored of this cycle already.

ummmm pass. It all depends when I come on my period. If they said abandon, then they'd have to wait for my body to have a period, which technically should happen 2 weeks after ovulation, but given I wouldn't be doing the trigger shot to ovulate, and I wouldn't ovulate myself, then i don't know. The month before when we had to abandon, I had like half a day of the lightest period ever about 17 days post cancellation. So I don't know really. As I didn't ovulate (well, they don't think) but who know. But if we go with that theory of around 15 days post cancellation, then probably start next round of injections around 20/21st June x

@dabs9 @LeopardLover Hahaha brilliant! I'd be lying if I said I hadn't done this too 👀I also like to think about gender reveal parties, and based on the fact I'm not yet pregnant, said party is now going to be in Winter, and I was totally planning a bbq garden party 😂

@LeopardLover I got the height bit right, right? Glad you're loving your new boss. Your culture vibes were right. I have recently got a new boss and initially I was a bit skeptical, but we get on so well now. It makes such a difference. I am also so confused as I am sure you said your boss didn't start this week and I had it wrong, now she has started!? I'm lost!!! You're confusing me woman!

June crew it is - @Amy95 you need to update the page to be 'June TWFW Crew' the F is vital!

@Favofit sorry you came on your period 😪And waking up to a headache is never nice, especially when it's followed by AF! Have faith though - we all will have our ending soon. I just can't believe that none of us here have made this month (though their are a few little stragglers left to test on Sat so I'm holding out my hope for @Amy95 @Bubblesandtroubles @Mangotango39 @LeopardLover and @dabs9)
I'm going to put a prediction out there.... I'm not going to conceive in June either, July is going to be the month I think it'll happen. Don't ask me why, but spidey sense are telling me that's the one! If it is, then i'm going to go on britains got talent.

How do I update it 😂bit lost by here ,
I don't think this is my month either , oh just came home with a Chinese so I'm a happy Amy 🐷xx

@dabs9 I really thought it was our month and had so many symptoms. I feel like I need to pull myself up but still really down. The June crew sounds lovely too xx

@LeopardLover it's awful isn't it when this happens. I'm hopeful for this month , trying to think of what we can do differently xx

LeopardLover · 01/06/2023 17:37

@Favofit Ugh, I'm so sorry. That happened to me last month, AF arrived early! June has to be THE month!

@dabs9 I love the pregnancy reveal planning. I need to think about this. I'd love to tell my DH in a better way this time. Last time I was convinced it was an ectopic because I had shoulder pain, so we didn't get excited 😅 turns out it was just because we were moving heavy furniture the day before.... Also, I just shoved the pregnancy test in his face and he didn't understand what the 2 lines meant 🙈 but I hate keeping secrets so I'd probably do the same.

I was due on the 3rd but AF showed this afternoon. I woke up this morning with the worse headache and it didn't ease for hours. I'm really sad and trying to stay optimistic. Hoping this month is the one xx

I'm sorry to hear AF has arrived 😩
It's ok to feel sad and to have some time feeling down.. I know it's so horrible because each month we get so hopeful. I think there's quite a few of us in the June crew now so you're in good company! 💕 xx

LeopardLover · 01/06/2023 17:34

Hello ladies! Just starting to catch up after being in the office all day.

@GeoSmed My new manager is WONDERFUL. I'm sooo pleased. I'm 5'7 and brunette hahahaha. But I do love the thought of being auburn! And I'm a January baby although I'm a Capricorn, but I'm a fun Capricorn 😉

I can understand why you're expecting the worst tomorrow, it's like me expecting AF even I know there's technically still some chance I'm not out I don't think it's my month. But for your sake I'm hoping things have turned around!

@chlx3 So sorry to hear AF arrived 😔 but you're right, each cycle is another chance. I think spring babies are the best! 💜 I'm sure I'll be joining you very soon so the rest of the June crew can support each other.
