STOP! Yammer time. 🍠

[SparkwoodAnd21]

New thread!

@Looking venepuncture is how to take blood from a vein with a needle. Like how they do it at the pathology places

@Si1ver when I did it myself I venepunctured myself (at work in a clinic room with the door shut)... not my brightest moment. Better to ask @WonkyDonk87 to help!

But @SoozC have you thought of trying yams?

Yeah @sooz my sisters brothers twice removed cousin ate one once and now has 3 wonderful children so it totally works. Guaranteed.

@LookingAtTheStars89 you need to 'milk' your finger downwards. It took me awhile to get the hang of it.

@Si1ver. Yeah I tried that as it said on the instructions and I was all like "I used to milk boobs how hard can a pinky finger be....." They can never get my blood when I go to a blood clinic either!

Just posted in May bus....no idea why I'm kidding myself still on the buses but anyway. My mind is a mess been spotting for 5 days now not enough for a tampon and got a bfn so waiting for Af is like waiting for a friggin bus I can tell You! Ovia now tells me af due tomorrow so I am living in hope the rest of the evening. Was going to have some wine....but that little bit of hope has prevented me. WHY WHY WHY

Well that sucks. Either I'm not going to ovulate or I haven't ovulated yet but my progesterone was 1.1 :-(

@looking is that your day 21?

@owl hope you’re feeling a bit better today?

@LexieJean. Yeah it was my day 21. I will do a day 28 too to compare. I feel like a right failure lol not only can I not get pregnant I can't even ovulate!!

Af came

@Owlpatrol. I'm sorry x x

Sorry for FP @owl

@looking that’s so annoying for you- I thought with all the clomid side effects and all that ewcm you had to have ovulated!

I feel rubbish today- going to a big family wedding at the weekend but have a MASSIVE breakout of HUGE spots on my face which means not only am I covered in spots for all the photos but my FP must be round the corner so I’m still not pg.
sucky.

Sorry for FP Owl

Lexi* I've just had a massive ugly-cry because of my acne. It's suddenly become red, angry cystic acne all over my chin/jaw and I'm so fucking fed up of it. My boobs hurt, I've got what feels like mouth ulcers on the way and presumably this is all because my FP is on its way some time in the next fortnight who fucking knows when though. You have my sympathies

Smiley face on ov test. 🍆🍆🍆🍆followed by two weeks of pointless optimism before inevitable FP and crashing disappointment. Bring it on!

Thanks @wonky mine is all over my chin and jawline too! I read years ago in some sort of beauty bit in a magazine that chin breakouts are most often hormonal and that kind of fits as they’re normally cyclic for me. however my acupuncturist last night said I should try cutting out my marmite intake because it’s so yeasty and could be contributing. 🤬 I F*ing LOVE marmite- almost as much as coffee. Having now given up coffee I don’t want to lose marmite!!! Anyway- just thought I’d share the yeast info with the yammers as I know a few of you have mentioned the acne.

That’s the spirit @sparkwood!

Hi ladies thanks sooooo much for your support I had an absolute ugly cry to dp last night and I feel totally exhausted it's also not helping that he's working all weekend and I really want some "us" time. I've got another doctor app booked for the 4th June and so just taking some time for myself at the minute.

That said this will make you laugh.....googled natural progesterone cream and you won't believe that it's made from Yams!!!

Sparkwood I think I speak for everyone when I say that I hope you had a lovely evening - har har snigger 😉

Lexi I think I'm safe on the marmite front (if she'd said hummus I'd be screaming though)

Owl Mine's working all weekend too. Hoping FP arrives whilst I'm at home rather than work so I can be miserable in peace. The Yam cream is superb 😂

@spark 😂

That's it!! I'm going to try wild yam cream next cycle! I have to try something new each cycle to keep me sane - and I've run out of sensible things to try!!

This cycle turned into a bonus cycle. I wasn't expecting to be able to because of hysteroscopy, but ov was late so game's on.

😂 Chook - happy shagging everyone!

I'm on cd28 (meaningless for me but hey ho) and symptom spotting like crazy, even though I say each cycle I won't. I miss Sooz's symptom-spotting posts 😔

Aww, thanks, Wonky. You'll have to take over. Honestly, it helps keep the tedium at bay if you post wildly enthusiastic stuff about the stupidest symptoms ever!

I am still keeping up with you guys. Hope you don't mind an update: nearly 9 weeks, had an early scan due to bleeding and I was worried it was another mc. But we saw a heartbeat so keeping fingers crossed.

😂😂 I am tempted go try it as well lol

Feeling better today off to so some shopping tomorrow to cheer myself up!!

Keeping everything crossed for you Sooz

Here's my list: big, heavy, sore boobs, backache last night, sniffy nose, mouth ulcers. Totally upduffed? Right?
