The July 19ers - All aboard the rollercoaster for a 3rd lucky thread

[Frazzlerock]

Frazzle I've started drinking pure pink grapefruit juice with bits... its supposed to be good for CM as I swear nothing even resembling egg white has ever come out of my fanny... anyway... I can't say it looks eggy... but I was certainly more wet down there I thought!
You drink it from AF to ovulation (250-350ml a day)
It has to be the fresh stuff NOT from concentrate. It's about £1.50 for a litre from the chiller in Asda x

Oh I luuuurve pink grapefruit juice. I try not to drink juice because of the sugars (PCOS bollocks again taking over my fun life) any excuse to drink it though. I will give it a go next cycle for sure!

@Twittle YES! That is exactly what I have my mind set on. The big one though . I may treat myself this weekend to lots of shit seeing as I have now ovulated so can stick two fingers up to PCOS for a little while. I was also eyeing up the big bags of Revels on special offer in Sainos yesterday. Yummm.....

Oh god frazzle I hate it!
I gag every time I drink it!! 😂

I think you ovulated on Monday too Frazzle, and BDing looks perfect timing! It does only take only little swimmer!

Tigsy that chart is really helpful, thank you. Interesting that 3 days before is only 14% but 4 days before is 16% 🤔 the percentages all look so low don't they, bloody hell 🙈

Twittle, it's a new strain of flu that most horses aren't vaccinated against so it's spreading like wildfire. Also, anti-vaxxers aren't just restricted to kids. So many irresponsible people don't vaccinate their horses 😡

@rather the percentages are so low aren't they
It's a wonder anyone gets pregnant! But they seem to so easily, especially if you are a real life friend of mine

There is a post on my local town FB page praising the local hospital's maternity dept. One woman said "I had all 5 of mine there blah blah... "
Fuck off

Completely agree 😩 I honestly reckon that having me as friend on FB or IG must double your chances of falling pregnant because every single person I know is popping them out at the minute... bar me 🙋🏽‍♀️😂

yeah those stats are so surprising! No one in my bloomin family has had difficulty with baby making (which then made for awkward conversations about why it was taking us so long!)

@Ratherbe I wish having you as friend on MN had the same effect 😁

@Twittle it's rubbish isn't. We've been married for 8 months now and we keep getting those "oh, when are you going to start trying for a family" comments and you have to awkwardly tittle your way out of it. So cringe.

@Rose me too!

Hi all,
Just checking in. Feel really depressed this weekend and struggling a bit. Not sure why really, just the weight of the world and the future sitting on me. I have been really snappy which I'm not often too.
@rather the horse thing sounds awful. I hope yours are OK.
@frazzle I think Monday is more likely and I think you've got a good shock with the timing.
McDonalds sounds great!

@rather I can't believe people still make those kinds of comments in 2019! Thankfully people don't really talk to me about children at all, apart from my really close friends. You never know what someone's story is. My best friend here in Dubai has gone through early menopause and she is 38 and can't have children. It's terrible for her amd shes recenttly put on some weight and people ask all the time if she is pregnant. I've had my miscarriages. You just never know and that why I never comment or ask anyone. Shocking stuff. Gets me really wound up when I hear of people making comments like that.

@frazzle a good 'chance not 'shock'. Although maybe a shock if you get a BFP?!

My bad.... the chart was supposed to be encouraging - not depressing us all.... soz! 😓

Gosh @edidxb that's dreadful. Poor girl
My horses are fine thanks, it's not come near the South West and certainly not near Cornwall, so fingers crossed!

Just FYI, 3 for 2 in boots on FRER at the mo x

@tigsy It was a really interesting chart! I was surprised by the low percentages (overall) but the fact that people are getting pregnant all the time (bar us of course) then perhaps they are good odds?

@rather - Ooooh! I will pay a visit

I have just been to boots, but decided against buying any tests. Have decided there is no point wasting my money. 😢

@Rose68 😢💜

@Rose68 ❤️❤️ hugs

Rose I'm sorry you feel so down.
I wish we could make you feel better xx

It’s so frustrating not knowing whether there is any point in carrying on with this. I did get pregnant, so maybe it is still possible.... I don’t think I would have a hope in hell of convincing DH to do ivf.

Thank you for the messages x

Damn, I just dropped my iPhone into the toilet. Has anyone else done that? It's my first rodeo. It's still working for now, is it inevitably now going to pack up? I don't much like the price of the new ones...

Aren’t you supposed to put it in a bag of dry rice Betty? Supposed to absorb any moisture. Good luck!

@betty the bag of rice trick is meant to work wonders but have not done it myself. Good luck. How is it this morning?
@rose sorry you are feeling despondent about it all. Is this the 1st or 2nd month of acupuncture? What do they say?
