@EssJayyCee try not to think of it like that, just think about how long they must have waited for their little bundle. As we're aware, everyone has a backstory which they don't want anyone to know about so it may well have taken them two years to get it, who knows. But also think how happy you'll be when you get yours.
What cycle are you on now?

Delilah7 · 09/10/2018 06:25

@Whowouldhavethoughtit no I haven't Hun. They sent me a hospital letter after going with my mum to say they could medically diagnose me because of her! My blood tests have always been pretty high for it I think. Very strange isn't it?! Never heard of silent coeliac... might have to look it up.

@Rachael321 welcome xxx

@FlapJackered I get why you're scared. Be positive xxx

@EssJayyCee I totally get that :( you're not alone in Those thoughts zzz

@RanchoRelaxo I'm so sorry. X

Rachael321 · 09/10/2018 10:49

@EssJayyCee I get that too. It like they seem more prominent than ever before. They're everywhere you look and you caant help but look at them and then hate yourself cause it hurts the more you look!

@delilah7 @mrsof20118 thanks

FlapJackered · 09/10/2018 11:39

Thanks @Delilah7 .

Scan came back and showed womb and left ovary fine, but right ovary has a whacking great 6cm cyst on it. Sonogrpher said it shouldn't be anything to worry about and that they will check it again in a year but I can't help feeling a bit concerned that I have this thing there that shouldn't be there. 😕 i have got a docs appointment in a week so hopefully that will shed some more light on it.

cupcakesandglitter · 09/10/2018 12:12

So sorry @RanchoRelaxo xx

cupcakesandglitter · 09/10/2018 12:14

@FlapJackered hopefully the GP will be able to help and tell you more about it. If they aren't worried though try not to worry yourself over it xx

Delilah7 · 09/10/2018 13:11

@FlapJackered at least you know now hun. Try not to look things up etc etc as I'd do that. Like @cupcakesandglitter said if they're not worried try. It to be either. Love to you xx

@Delilah7 @cupcakesandglitter thanks guys, trying not to think too much into it at the moment will see what the doc says next week. I am seeing a temp rise each month so I am pretty sure I am ovulating and so I think it is not causing massive problems. I have been feeling quite nauseous recently though and wonder if that is why. 🤷🏼‍♀️

KatBeCool · 09/10/2018 18:03

@FlapJackered are you feeling nauseous before ovulation or after? If after, increased progesterone can make you feel like that. I mainly get the insane hunger all the time. Half the time DH thinks that I'm joking that I am hungry half an hour after a large meal. Not joking though 😂🤣😂

Delilah7 · 09/10/2018 18:15

@FlapJackered make sure you keep us updated ❤️

Lets start this two week wait

BabySquid · 09/10/2018 20:31

@RobynC19 right there with you lovely. When are you due? I'm 22nd if Flo is correct after the mc.

RobynC19 · 09/10/2018 20:34

Well if I did actually ovulate yesterday I would guess the 21st I have a gyno appointment the 22nd so will do a test that morning and fingers crossed I can cancel it lol :) x

Lougg · 09/10/2018 20:43

I've been doing so well with my determination to be more chilled this cycle. No OPKs or temping or testing. But with two days to go before AF (I think?!) the symptom psycho is rearing her head! Help!

summer28 · 09/10/2018 20:47

Really sorry to hear that @RanchoRelaxo Taking a step back from talking and thinking about it all the time might be a really good idea for a while.

I'm now two days late over here..... if AF hasn't showed up by Friday, I'll test Saturday morning I think. Xx

FlapJackered · 10/10/2018 07:41

@Delilah7 thanks lovely - Will do 😘

@Lougg 🤞🏻

@KatBeCool mostly after ovulation but on and off before too. I never used to feel nauseous before so it's a relatively new thing. I get the insane hunger thing too though! I feel like I am constantly shovelling food in the tww.

@Crossfitgirl update on smep day 3 - got rejected for sex 😢 only second sex day and he was too tired after playing rugby! I literally put my hand down his pants and still got a no.
This is the issue - if he is tired or unwashed we can't have sex. So frustrating!!! He promised we would have it this morning, but to be honest I am not feeling it after the rejection and he has a dentist appointment later and won't be awake until I am up and working downstairs.
Sorry to rant but I know you know the pain!

Delilah7 · 10/10/2018 07:49

@Lougg well done for staying strong. You've done well to not symptom spot till then so give yourself credit! Xx

@summer28 get those tests ready! Xx

@FlapJackered that's a shame... I was meant to DTD last night but we both couldn't be bothered. He's still got a bad chest and I was so tired as always lol xx

KatBeCool · 10/10/2018 07:50

@FlapJackered does your DH fully understand the rather short length of the fertile window? Maybe draw a diagram with beer bottles? Or soccer balls? Or whichever he fancies.

Lougg · 10/10/2018 08:04

Thanks all! I had to have a very quick wee this morning before I caved and tested! Although have no symptoms today.

@summer28 2 days late is promising. FX!!

@FlapJackered That's so frustrating. It's annoying we're so reliant on their mood. You should just wake him up for a quickie 😉

@Delilah7 boo that bad chest has hung a while! FX you don't catch it

Xx

stormtrooperjulian · 10/10/2018 08:32

I’m heading into my fertile week now so the plan is once again to dtd every two days.

@FlapJackered have you tried just telling your DH in advance when it has to happen? Mine knows that it has to be every two days while I’m potentially fertile and I’ll remind him before I get home that today is Sex Day. I’m not giving him much choice 😂😂

FlapJackered · 10/10/2018 09:59

We Dtd this morning although I had cysts and rejection from yesterday floating around in my brain and my noonie decided to shut up shop and not let him in! I could literally barely get him in and it took ages! Although I was super tight so he came in 2 mins. Bit sore now! Sorry TMI for a wednesday morning 😂🙈

@stormtrooperjulian I told him that this month we were going to do it every other day from cd10 until positive opk then everyday for 3 days. He was all for it but then post rugby not so keen. I have told him now that this month I need him to initiate as feeling quite fragile about it all and feel close to giving it all up.

@KatBeCool - 😂 good idea! The rugby ball is the egg, the boot is the sperm, if you don't kick the ball over the H you aren't going to get the conversion!
I think because I haven't had a positive opk yet he doesn't see the urgency, but just doing it when I get a + hasn't really worked for us so far.

KatBeCool · 10/10/2018 11:27

@FlapJackered and the timer is the fertile window! ⏲️🤣

Crossfitgirl · 10/10/2018 11:30

@flapjackered oh no! It's so hard in practice isn't it. I planned on initiating the last 2 nights (I'm only cd5 today) but I was slightly still on AF, and usually I don't care but I wasn't horny in the slightest, yesterday I got home at 9.30pm, had a shower and I didn't even get to bed til about 10.30pm and I was shattered. I just thought fuck it, it's only day 5, it's too early anyway. He hasn't initiated at all either since those miraculous 2 times in 3 days!

I think the being dirty is a thing, as I used to hate DH coming onto me if I hadn't showered in a while... more cos I'm embarrassed and worried I'll smell down there (sorry if TMI) but actually if I just direct him to not put his mouth there And use his hands it's fine.

I'd be so annoyed though, if he has promised you this morning then HE should initiate as this ones on him - did you specify who would initiate? I thought about this myself, and to make it really clear I thought I might try texting DH on the mornings I want him to initiate (like if I initiated last time) and saying something like, tonight you are going to be at home waiting to seduce me, rip my pants off and fuck me silly. Or something better worded than that bit like, make it clear you want him to do it, tell him what he has to do... it also might get him thinking about it. If he's thinking about how he's gonna seduce you later, chances are he's gonna get himself all het up thinking about it and will be in the mood!

That's my thinking anyway.

I might try it tonight or tomorrow actually lol. See what happens. Technically smep hasn't started yet for us so for me it's not a huge deal, also for you I guess it's ok as you don't ov til late in your cycle but it's more the principle isn't it?

Delilah7 · 10/10/2018 12:10

@Lougg I hope not hun! Xxx

@FlapJackered wooooo team tight noonies! 😂😂

@Crossfitgirl I'm the same if I haven't showered and tbh I'm not keen on doing anything to OH if he hasn't either hahah xxx
