@pinkemi enjoy your random sex!
@bubble sounds like you’d qualify for their package in my non expert opinion. I’d still recommend a free open evening if you can find one near you or head to London for one.
Cheers @owlpatrol! 🍷 wine with my dinner

LexieJean · 18/04/2018 19:25

@aph I see them too. Bloody everywhere!!

ShesAYamEater · 18/04/2018 19:35

have a good evening ladies and enjoy the vino. ive got a night shift to look forward to.

8.5 Paranormal. I'm having a private one at the weekend and waiting on 12 weeks nhs. It's getting ridiculous. I've had about 6 in the last couple of months, and they make me feel less panicked for about 7 minutes. Torturous.

Hello Applejack. I'm one of those bastard people, but this is my 4th pregnancy in the last year, so not feeling particularly smug about it!

Wonky! My honeymoon in Portugal next month, wonderful place, I hope you're having a marvellous time 😃

Bubblegum89 · 18/04/2018 20:17

YamEater who ARE you, mysterious name-changer?

Bubblegum89 · 18/04/2018 20:20

Thanks Lexie I’ll see what I can find :)

Owlpatrol being so late has really got my uterus mad, almost a full day of cramps. Dunno why it’s so mad, it’s its own fault... I’m not too sad, I keep thinking about my holiday in August and how I won’t be able to drink cocktails/wear bikinis if I’m preggo (although obviously I’d much rather be preggo lol)

My second lot of fp when I went to clean my mooncup and it was a beautiful cranberry shade of red. Not brown, not dark clotty red. I’m hoping this means my periods are genuinely getting healthier. My HyCoSy didn’t make me more fertile but it does seemed to have helped in the ol’ period department.

MynameisJune · 18/04/2018 20:28

@bubble sorry for fp but glad that it seems to be better than before.

I’m struggling to keep up with you all!

DoAsDreamersDo · 18/04/2018 20:34

Wow, page 4 of thread 7 already!!

I hope you ladies are all keeping well. I’m still here lurking and checking up on you all x

SoozC · 18/04/2018 20:53

Bubble, YamEater is Socks! Sorry fp got you properly BTW, small consolation that it's a nice healthy red colour.

Welcome, Apple! I am not one of those pregnant so soon after mc; 4 cycles on I'm still not preggers again. We do exist!

Limp, still got things crossed for you! I get what you say about only being comforted for a bit. I wonder if I do get preggers again that I'll have an early scan. I think I'd rather wait and see what happens, I won't be able to prevent another mc anyway, no point getting too attached. And how shit is it I'm thinking like that?! Fucking miscarriages. Big hugs to you. What are your hen plans?!

starwishing · 18/04/2018 23:34

Evening, not been on today as I had to tell work I am looking for other jobs and I think they've more or less said I should hand in my resignation... hey ho. I have till the 31st of May to do so and hopefully something will come up by then. I might risk it and resign anyway.

LookingAtTheStars89 · 19/04/2018 00:14

@Owlpatrol. Managed to do the deed tonight. I have fertile look cm so fingers crossed something is happening in there lol. Have you heard about your blood results yet?

LookingAtTheStars89 · 19/04/2018 00:15

@Owlpatrol. Sorry I meant to say fertile looking*

Owlpatrol · 19/04/2018 06:09

@LookingAtTheStars89 not yet they were day 21 and I still need the day 1-3 as I went to doctor mid cycle so a bit to wait now. Obviously I hope af doesn't turn up anyway but not holding out much hope

ShesAYamEater · 19/04/2018 07:41

Star - don't know your story but that sounds stressy. Hope you're ok.

Owl- good luck

Well today is cd 29 and no hint of af . No hint of pg either so I reckon anovulatory cycle.

I'll leave it a few days and if I'm really late I'll test but with my pg ( unsuccessful) 2 years ago to the month I had really tender boobs and not a hint here so I just think I've not ovulated. Life's a bitch then you apparently hit the menopause! Ah well.

ShesAYamEater · 19/04/2018 07:44

Good luck all.

1 night shift down. 1 to go.

Yes I changed name I started here as socks but name changed.
Have posted in these threads under a few names now . I like yam eater for a while. Smile

JaggyJobby · 19/04/2018 08:56

@WhereDoLostSocksGo I was on that thread too under a different name, oh god, had it really been 7 threads already? 😭

@SparkwoodAnd21 thanks for starting the new thread! Love the name 😂

QuietTime · 19/04/2018 08:58

Hi! Placemarking :) I joined back when socks aka yameater started the original angry thread...

star that's shitty from your work - you're not under any obligation to resign, surely, if you're looking for work? Good luck with the job hunt though, am doing the same xx

Waiting for FP, expected in a couple of days...

QuietTime · 19/04/2018 08:58

P.S. thanks for the thread, spark!

Bubblegum89 · 19/04/2018 09:03

Has anyone ever used castor oil packs? After fp coming yesterday all lovely and whatnot, it’s gone today. I’ve read castor oil packs can help with circulation and give you a better period flow but I’m skeptical...

Paranormalbouquet · 19/04/2018 09:24

Wow you’ve all been busy! Have to catch up, spent most of yesterday travelling and will be travelling again tonight. Dreading work tomorrow!

Just picked up on a few posts. Star good luck with jobs, I’m also on a search!
Apple I’m in the middle of investigations after 3 consecutive miscarriages. It’s so shit, BFP brings me no joy anymore, I think I need to see a scan. Bubblegum I wouldn’t assume your Hycosy hasn’t helped- if your FP is more normal now maybe your chances are more normal now- remember it’s around 20-25% chance per cycle even when all is perfect.

Still no FP here. And since I’m away haven’t checked temp but there was a dip yesterday- not to coverline but a dip so assuming it will be today. CD35 if you count the light bleeding that preceded my last FP, 33 if you only count the full flow. It’s hard to know as it was the most bleeding I’ve had during FP since DD was born (like Bubble I’m hoping my intervention (ERPC) helped my lining).

Onthewrongsideof30 · 19/04/2018 09:43

Can I join ? Been trying for 2 years off the implant for 3 years. Spent the morning before work crying in bed because I got my period. Cried all the way to work. Got into the office to hear the boys marvelling about how one of their kids finally did a shit in the potty! (I work with all men, who all have kids and who talk about them non stop) Was tempted to just about turn and walk out! But managed to compose myself, stuck on a full face of make up and send lots of emotional texts to my sister, which resulted in her spamming me with lots of 'useful' advice. Tempted to get drunk tomorrow at a work function to avoid the question from the boys in the office .... 'I mean, why have you never wanted to have kids?!' - would I get sacked for telling a director to fuck off ? (Rant over) I now have to pick my husband up from the airport who has requested me in heels, happy and not full of rage .... wish me luck! (I'm not normally this angry)

Pinkemi · 19/04/2018 10:18

@Onthewrongsideof30 Welcome to the mad house! And welcome to any other new comers who I have accidentally missed. (sorry struggling to keep up with this thread at times! lol)

So.. I feel nauseous, dizzy and have terrible bowel issues. For a moment i was like.. .didnt someone say that I could have a period and actually be pregnant? lol

In reality.. I think my IBS has come back.. Work has been SO stressy recently so im sure it has something to do with that. Either that or my omega 3, 6 and 9 pills is a lot stronger then I was expecting and my body doesnt like it? Whatever it is.. Im not having much fun!!

Bubblegum89 · 19/04/2018 10:20

Paranormal well I did think the HyCoSy did something but fp stared yesterday, looked like it was healthier with redder bleeding and then since last night it’s vanished. I could honestly cry, I really thought it was getting better. The flow itself is a little “nicer” looking but the length of time is surely not normal? Less than a day? After being so late and then having bits of spotting here and there, for it to only last less than 24 hours then completely stop again has really annoyed me. I guess the HyCoSy didn’t do anything after all.

The late period is odd since you weren’t ttc this month, have your cycles been a bit off since your mc? I’ve heard that’s fairly common. I hope it comes soon!

Paranormalbouquet · 19/04/2018 10:32

Bubblegum lots of people only have one day of red flow, what’s normal for everyone Is different. I think it’s still sounding fairly positive.

My first period after miscarriage was very soon after it finally ended. I ovulated literally the day I finally had a negative test, which was 2 weeks after ERPC, and I was still bleeding. Period came exactly 2 weeks later as I usually have a standard 14 day luteal phase. I think as my hcg levels dropped very fast (they were still over 40000 before erpc) it acted a bit like a trigger shot and triggered ovulation. I’ve had the same with previous earlier losses- short cycle straight after and then back to normal.

So this is odd. Otherwise I feel fine- slightly tender nipples but always have that coming up to FP, lots of CM (ditto) and bowels active (again pre FP always). I think I’ll do a test tomorrow if still hasn’t shown although it would be very strange if sex well before ovulation and again after, using condoms properly could result in a BFP!

Bubblegum89 · 19/04/2018 10:42

Paranormal but is it normal to only have one day of red flow and then nothing else? I’ve had nothing since about 6pm yesterday. I’m starting to worry (probably unnecessarily)

That does sound very odd. Especially if you have all the signs that fp is on its way. And I don’t know, stranger things have happened! Remind me again why you were using condoms this cycle? My brain is a fog lol
