Tww 🥳🌸 come join me 🙌

@chlx3 Oh you poor thing! Get some pure aloe vera on that. I'm not far away in Bristol! I also burn really easily because I have an Irish complexion 🙈 now I cover myself in factor 50 🤣

@GeoSmed I love the follicle lesson, thank you! Absolutely fascinating! I don't think you want 19 of those bad boys releasing 🤣 Twins would be dreamy though. One of my best friend's has twins and they are a dream compared to my wild one. 😅 I'd still love twins, my husband wanted them first time round but I think he'd faint. Very unlikely with us!

Haha yes, little mumsnet cult babies 🤣 that reminds me of the stone circle and Glastonbury, I love watching that stuff. Oh bless you, yes I'm exactly the same. I get too upset if my hopes for the cycle are dashed so early. Tests are so freakin expensive!

Totally varied clients but tbf I've been working mostly on one for the past year, you're right it helps to know the TOV inside out etc. I fancy going back to travel (my previous agency was travel) or education / the NHS because of the benefits! Haha I love it. You're just too busy 😉

You know what, I've only listened to the most recent mini series, so that's a good shout! I follow The Infertile Midwife on Insta and she's a diamond, I didn't really realise she had a podcast!? So sad her 9th cycle failed 😔

@dabs9 south west uk, Wiltshire. It's meant to be so hot so I'm going to have to hide inside 🤣 don't want to burn anymore 🥲x

Oh my god girls! Keep yourselves protected this weekend!! Where is it you are @chlx3 ? Super jealous of the heat you're getting! It's highs of 18 here which I'm thrilled with hahaha.

@GeoSmed how long have you been using the ovulation meds? And how long will you be on them for before next steps if you don't mind me asking? (Not that it will come to next steps... you'll be preggers before that! 💕). I just find it so interesting.

So funny having to sign a form to not have sex! 😅 bizarre, but I understand why. Although I wouldn't mind a set of twins and leave it at that hahah.

@Favofit I'm so sorry about your ectopic. Is it true that your one remaining tube can move between ovaries each month so it catches the egg from whichever side? That's something I was told once and it amazed me but never known if it's actually true or not! Xx

@GeoSmed
I'm naturally a dark blonde but recently dyed my hair dark brown! Just found out I'm anemic again too but dr. Google tells me that doesn't cause me to burn as quick as I did! But of course it says early pregnancy does so again it's just getting my hopes up🤣🤣 probably doesn't help that I only drink like 3 pints of water a day🥲xx

@GeoSmed my legs are the worst part! Keep having to take pain meds as can't even lay under a blanket without extreme pain🤣x

@chlx3 😂

Ah hahaha you are literally me. I burn so bad and so quick. I’ll share a bad pic of my burn from the other year 😂are you blonde too? I’m horrific. My skins basically see through if I don’t put fake tan on. X

Completely. I’m sorry to hear about your ectopic. It’s got to be so hard as you were so so close it just fertilised a biiiiit too early in the pipes. Did they say any risks again? Don’t feel you have to answer that. Send luck xx

It's only going to get hotter, sun cream will be your best friend for a while. I've been cramping on my lower left tummy on/off all day, not sure it's a symptom

@GeoSmed
It's meant to be 25 this weekend and all next week where I am😩 I'm already extremely sunburnt from being outside for like an hour and a half a few days ago, I've never burnt so badly so quickly! x

Thank you @GeoSmed , it's nice to be heard & understood xx

Awww you're kind but yeah it's facinating to be honest, but then it will be to me cuz it's my body, but yeah I totally appreciate some people don't get it, my mum bless her, struggles some times. But it's nice when someone does or is genuinely interested. My bestie is so invested bless her, where as one of my other mates doesn't really understand so I just spare her the detail. It's not her fault - it's confusing for everyone! That's mad you had 30 but good only 1 released. I thik it's a big problem if all 30 were the same size, that's when they'd all release, where as so long as their is one clear winner that's bigger, the others won't come out. Though I bet they do sometimes haha! We had to sign a form the other month to say we won't have sex lol!! Wtf?!

oh blimey! I can't believe how big it is, I didn't think it was but apaz it's 15,000 so not surprised it's busy. I can't think of anything worse than standing in a field for 2 days, but i'm also old and grumpy and would rather watch from home in my reclusive bubble 😂If you like podcasts too, that BFN one I shared is ace. Might not be up your street as a lot is based on fertility treatment but it's really good. Is the weather for you meant to be nice over the weekend for you up there? Aberdeen is hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiigh xx

@GeoSmed that wasn't boring at all! I find it so interesting! At my hycosy end of last year I had 30 follicles but 1 dominant.. I was worried I had undiagnosed pcos but I guess I'd need to have a heck of a lot more for that! 😅
Hoping for you this is a successful month!

Someone defos lives in Australia, I read that too so you're not going crazy lol.
I'm in Aberdeen, so a little further up than the big weekend but I've just popped out to do the food shop and can tell the traffic is heavy even from up here!

@LeopardLover I absolutely love a good podcast! Haven't listened to any fertility ones but I love true crime ones. Serial is amazing, as is S-town if you haven't listened to those. Just started counter clock which is ok so far.

@emmatcc1 until you're confirmed pregnant I would keep taking it as normal.
I work in maternity and we generally use antihistamines for pregnant women if would be a significant benefit. Haven't missed hayfever season!! Xx

Yeah I bet it's varied. Are they all similar industries or totally varied? I do like in house yeah, I did agency for a bit, but I find in house I can truly know the brand and tone of voice etc is so easy cuz it's all everything you live and breathe, rather than dipping in and out of different company TOV and style etc. Would you move to a specific type of company or just anything in house? And yeah my dnd is literally on all the time! I just looked at my teams notification and their were 7 and I just was like la la la la can't see anything la la la.

Awww you're super kind! you won't be on AF as you're part of the TWW cult so y'all all fine! And yes I love a podcast. Have you listened to Big Fat Negative? IT's so class and super relatable. 2 women from london area and they're awesome. https://open.spotify.com/show/0tikAyqenCJsaTBwxzlaxg

Recommend going back a few tho so that get to know them more and stuff. The infertile midwife is a good one! xx

@dabs9 so sorry! I swear someone said they were from Australia but are English? I'm so confused. Please someone tell me I'm not mental!? Where in scotland are you? Is it carnage at the moment with the Radio 1 big weekend being up there? I'm excited we'll be on our TWW together though that's amazing!! Hopefully no one else will be as Ya'll be all pregnant! 😊And that you're in the Gramma club 🙏all you 20s @chlx3 and @Amy95 don't know what you're missing being over the other side. 👀

@LeopardLover You defo should all test together. Then your babies can be part of your tribe and you can do weird dances and stuff round fires and chant.
I would test close to the AF. I tested early last week and was heartbroken when it was negative, i tried to kid myself it was a false negative cuz it was too early 😂 then I came on so I just wasted £15 and was well angry at my body!

Monday is fertility scan so yeah exactly what @dabs9 said - it's to check how many follicles I have growing. Each month you have one dominant one, and like 4/5 little ones, and the dominant big one is the one that gets released and the others all die off. But cuz I have PCOS I have like 60 folicles, so they have to scan me to make sure that the injections aren't over stimulating me which would cause all to grow big, and then when you trigger, it would fire them all out and you could essentially be pregnant with loads! That's why we had to abandon our cycle a few months ago as their were 19 ready to release lol! So yeah it's just a check to see if they're growing, and they measure them, and check the injection dose isn't over stimming them etc. You have one on day 7 of the injections, then day 10 and 12 then trigger, so you have more in the second week as you're close to triggering and they're all getting big. soz that was so boring. If you don't get to read this bit now, i'm not mad. I'm pretty proud of you for giving up and realising you had better things to do than read this really borrrrrrrrrrrrrrrring message.

@chlx3 that's class you're an IVF baby. That's really lovely. Does your mum talk about it much? and hey @Favofit welcome to the weird tribal cult 😉

I have a question m. Do any of you take allergy medicine? Some say it’s fine others say not to. I try to minimize the intake but this season I’m really struggling.

The temptation is so strong , I'm with you on that xx

@emmatcc1 I've been getting that since 4dpo and don't usually get it in usual cycles. I usually get pains a few hours before my period arrives. Fingers crossed for both of us!!🤞🏼🤍xx

@chlx3 The pinching is like a sudden stabbing pain and it’s pretty painful. I’m not sure if I had that in other cycles and I don’t want to get my hopes up only to be disappointed in the end.

Sounds like me! Keep us updated? xx

Hello joining here. I’m 8 dpo and my current symptoms are sore boobs and pinching on the left side which has been going on for a couple of days now and I get random detailed dreams every night. Also here and there I get really grossed out by some foods but that could be af sign. I’ll start testing tomorrow 🤞🏻
