Rats it's totally knackered. Have ordered an iPhone 8 to come on Monday, thankfully I have had the old one for 3yrs.

Rose68 · 09/02/2019 08:15

What phone did you have before Tigsy? I can’t remember which iPhone I have, but it’s waterproof, so you should be fine dropping your new one down the toilet 😁

I have been having acupuncture since my miscarriage.

ratherbeshowjumping · 09/02/2019 09:01

Oh no Betty 😢 my iPhone is water proof too, can't remember what make it is either. Hopefully your new one will be!

You did get pg before rose, it can definitely happen again.

I stupidly tested this morning despite knowing that I'm definitely not pg. Whiter than white bfn. Burst into tears. Fucks sake. Really angry with myself for doing it now.

BettySwoll0cks · 09/02/2019 09:19

@rather honestly that pit-of-the-stomach sinking feeling when you see the bfn is soul destroying. But you have to know don't you? It's worse harbouring false hope, somehow.

My temp has actually gone back down again this morning. This hopeless.

Could be implantation Betty? Don't get yourself down yet, it's too early to be despondent.

100%. You just feel compelled to do it even though you KNOW then you get upset. Absolutely ridiculous!

BettySwoll0cks · 09/02/2019 10:00

Nah too early for implantation @rather. Just my ridiculous body not playing the game.

BettySwoll0cks · 09/02/2019 10:01

Anyway chin up, I'm off for my birthday facial and lunch now!!

edidxb · 09/02/2019 10:14

Enjoy your birthday treat @betty! Is it your birthday today?
@rather I'm sorry you tested and it was negative. What DPO are you?
@rose68 I think with more acupuncture it's possible. Like rather said you got pg before so it could happen again.
@kinsters did you get to Europe ok? I can't remember if it was France you were going to. Lots of snow?

Rose68 · 09/02/2019 10:41

Happy birthday @Betty! x

ratherbeshowjumping · 09/02/2019 14:42

Of course Betty completely forgot that was today. Have a fab time xx

TwittleBee · 09/02/2019 15:19

Enjoy your birthday treat @Betty!
I wish I could help you re your chart. What a minefield all this is 😓

How are you feeling today @Rose?

I'm currently sat at a trampoline park. DS2 was in tears earlier as his match was cancelled due to waterlogged pitches. I was so relieved, but felt guilty for him so we are here instead.
Tomorrrow's games are also looking to be called off for same reason so DS1 will be upset too.
DP has gone to Swansea to watch a match the nutter. It's a 5 hour drive! And he's coming home after! I don't get it.

I hope everyone else is having a good weekend x

Happy birthday Betty! Hope you've had a lovely day.

I'm in London now having one night here before we go off to France to ski. I'm now the proud owner of 6 Frers! I wanted to get more pregnacare but there was none there.

BettySwoll0cks · 09/02/2019 21:10

I'm cheating really, it was a pre-birthday treat but it was lush. 75 minute super moisturising facial (I was basically a husk when I went in) and head/shoulder massage followed by a really lovely lunch. Surprisingly tiring being pampered like that! I'm off for an early night.... x

ratherbeshowjumping · 09/02/2019 21:28

@Frazzle, gutted for your DS but a trampoline park does sound a lot warmer than a wet, windy sideline!
Absolutely do not understand the love for football at all, DH is the same about Spurs... goes right over my head...

Congrats on picking up the FRERs @Kinsters, have a safe flight tomorrow (I'm so jealous!)

@Betty glad you had a lovely time!

tigsyboo · 10/02/2019 09:02

Morning all
Is it me or is it quiet on here!

Sounds like a lovely day @BettySwoll0cks! I could do with that!!

We had a day chilling yesterday too, it was pissing it down so we stayed in with the dogs having a relax!
Watched Bohemian Rhapsody last night, it's VERY good!!

So FF has put lines on my chart and predicted my Ov was CD 15. Coverline seems a bit high though?? I thought it would be lower than that?? Anyway the BD seems pretty well timed ... but now I'm concerned that there wasn't much recovery time and what if he was firing baby sperms up me who are still in armbands?? Is it possible to NOT worry??

Morning!

I agree @tigsy it has been super quiet lately. It was mega quiet on BreachGate day so I thought it was due to that.

We are TWW pals though I'm 3 days further along. Same, there isn't a time where we don't worry is there! I was stressing pre ov that I wouldn't ov anytime soon and if I did we would miss it. Then worry that day before ov wasn't enough and, like you, worry they were in their armbands 😂. I've resigned myself to expect AF to avoid disappointment quite frankly, but I know I'll still be a mess when AF arrives.
But with your chart, you've BD'd loads over ovulation so you've got an excellent chance!
I don't know if frequency affects the boys, I would be really pleased with that chart.

I've managed to worm my way out of football duty this morning by offering to clean the kitchen and go to Sainsburys for roast food. Phew!

But instead I'm on MN 😂

I use 4 different devices (!) to use Mumsnet and have only just signed back in on my work laptop.
@frazzle a roast dinner sounds amazing - what kind are you going for?
@tigsy the timing looks great and I think unless there is an issue with low sperm count then it doesn't matter how often you do it.
Good work with the FRERs @kinsters - that should keep you going for a while. You can get some more on the way back through too maybe!?

I'm at work today (Sunday-Thurs working) and it's been a long day. It's 3pm and I've still got loads to do before I go home. I am wearing a shirt today and I feel it has been constricting me all day. I have put on so much weight in the last few months, a lot of it miscarriage and fertility related. I feel I really turned to food and alcohol as some kind of crux to get me though and now most of my clothes are super tight. My blouse is a size 10 but even breathing in it is painful. So it's a bit of a wake up call to really cut down on the crap food I have been eating recently.

@edidxb if it's any consolation, I've cut out loads of crap from my diet to help my fertility. Virtually no sugar at all, very little gluten and if I have it it's whole grain, no dairy (except butter if I have toast), and no caffeine.
I basically live off seeds, goji berries, oats, soup, and a low GI meal at night. No alcohol either. And guess what? I've fucking GAINED weight. And I'm gaining it daily it seems.

I used to be a size 10 and am now a 12 and manage to wear some of my old 10's but nothing fits me now and I'll be damned if I start buying 14 clothes (slippery slope) . I'm so pissed off with my body. I ate a lot of bad stuff over Xmas and didn't move so expected a bit of weight gain then. But I figured when I went back to routine I'd lose it. But I'm getting heavier and heavier. It's so depressing 😓
I may as well start eating shit again.
I've got this tyre of weight around my lower abdomen and thighs and I hate it, but nothing will shift it.
I miss my lovely flat tummy.

Anyway, talking of diet, ROAST! Yes I will be making a chicken roast as I can't do anything else 😂
Normally, for me, I would bypass the gravy and Yorkshire puds and stuffing and basically all the lovely bits but I seriously CBA today especially now I've ovulated. And and not losing weight anyway so I am going to enjoy it today. I might even buy a lovely apple crumble and custard!

Then back on the "Healthy but makes me fat anyway" diet tomorrow 😂

Sorry for being quiet x

tigsyboo · 10/02/2019 11:34

I love a roast!!
Mum is on her no chemo week so she is doing a roast dinner today which I'm really looking forward to, I love her cooking!

After the DH's strop about smep plan he really did pull it out of the bag I guess with BD-ing.
I think now I've got to make the effort to keep the momentum up during this TWW because otherwise it's clear it's just about that.... but quite honestly I was happy just to get in bed and go to sleep last night!!! I will make an effort too... even if it is to prove a point I don't really mean!! 😂😂

Rose68 · 10/02/2019 12:44

I can feel I am putting on weight too despite healthy eating. I’m obviously not trying hard enough cause I had started to lose weight before I got preggers in October. And that was supposedly following the same healthy eating plan.
I haven’t started exercising properly following the mc, which I really need to get on with, exercising is good for fertility, but running isn’t apparently. And I tend to run.
I have made a lasagne for our dinner later, which obvs isn’t very healthy at all!
I have mentioned smep to DH, his eyes lit up like a little boys would in a sweet shop. Maybe we will give it a go this month.

Rose68 · 10/02/2019 12:46

@Tigsy I’m so sorry to hear about your Mum, I can’t remember if we already knew she was having chemo. Obviously you only have chemo for one thing 😢

Rose68 · 10/02/2019 12:46

I’m off to run up and down the stairs until the family return from swimming lessons....

ratherbeshowjumping · 10/02/2019 13:25

It is really quiet on here!
Jealous of everyone having roasts today, we're still waiting for a new part for our oven so can't cook one... may actually be a nice wife & treat Dh to a pub one, a Sunday just isn't a Sunday without one.

@edidxb Don't berate yourself for putting on weight! Think how much you've been through the past 12 months! I think it's only normal. You'll have plenty of time running after a newborn in 8 months to lose it xx

I'm feeling really "pregnant" today. My boobs are huge & killing me, I'm so bloated/constipated, nauseous & I'm absolutely shattered. Crampy legs have completely vanished too. Did a test after a 3 hour hold & again white as white BFN. If I was, I should get something on a FRER at 11dpo shouldn't I?
