Yes things definitely smell different, it's so weird isn't it! I didn't have these symptoms so early last time!

Chaosonthehorizon · 29/08/2019 14:58

luxoire would be same here, third section, no help and a school and nursery run in fact, mornings only nursery so even more tricky!

Luxoire · 29/08/2019 16:40

@Happygirl86 haha it is weird or maybe I had them but didnt out 2 abs 2 together hahahah.. Nature definitely is marvelous

@Chaosonthehorizon thata my main reason for wanting a summer hols baby hahaha it seems easier somehow when everyone is at home for a few qeeks until i gwt my atrength back...i might regret that when i am sleep deprived got 2 noisy kids at home and a section to nurse plus breastfeeding lol haha

HappyGirl86 · 29/08/2019 16:57

I don't know if I'll attempt breastfeeding this time, I found it so hard especially after a section and I only lasted 6 weeks. Then beat myself up about it for weeks Confused

claireb707 · 29/08/2019 20:33

I've managed to upset my other half tonight Sad we were talking about me potentially having a dry Christmas and I said we'll I've got to get pregnant first, he said well you could be, I said well not according to the test I did yesterday SadSadand then he got upset - I just didn't even think, I didn't tell him yesterday that I'd done it.
I'm so stupid Sad

Luxoire · 29/08/2019 22:19

@claireb707 ohhh darling men are so I sensitive...u really dis put ur foot in it didnt you...just try to explain u meant to tell him but just didn't get round to it. Is he one to hold a grude for a long time? Sending I hugs xxx

@HappyGirl86 I dont blame you..its hard on a good day...add a section to it and it is agony...u never know if u have a grub loving bubba it might make it easier..my DD hated food, lazy eayer and just didnt learn/want to latch on properly caused me cuts and sore breats and i used to cry...i pushed through only bcos she refused all formula and when we ended up in hospital the doctors and nurseries told me that the only way I coukd keep her alive and her weight healthy was to feed her whatever it took and I guess mummy instincts kicked in and I fed through the blood sweat, tears literally and blcoked milk ducts to keep her healthy...she still is a sassy madam.
My DS came out hungry taught hinself to latch on first time round..by the sexond fees he was an expert taking long deep drinks and emptying the great with each feed. No sweat no blood no tears just joy for both of us. He is still a big eater hahaha

He doesn't normally hold a grudge but he proper upset Sad can't believe I did that, I really am stupid.
According to my app my period is due today but I've certainly not got any of the usual signs so who knows what my body is doing at the moment

MrsSkr · 30/08/2019 08:15

Oh dear @Claireb707 is he upset that you did the test without him or that you didnt tell him afterwards? Try not to worry, he'll forget about it soon enough when you get your positive test...just make sure he's there for that one lol. I done dozens of tests without dh there and didnt tell him last time. And he says this time he isn't bothered about knowing until it's a positive one lol xx

claireb707 · 30/08/2019 08:20

Bit of both I think, but hard to tell he hasn't really said much

Will definitely make sure he knows next time though, don't like it when he's not speaking to me Sad

Luxoire · 30/08/2019 09:34

@claireb707 awww hun it's hard wheb they are not talking to us definitely easier when I'm the one doshing out the ailent treatment...aww maybe explain to him ur body is doing all sorts and I just tested bcoa ur period is late and ur still trying to figure out what ur body is doing since coming off birth control not bcos u actually thought u were pregnant. And maybe promise to keep him up to date?! Sending u hugs hun...hopefully he will soon let it go xx

Luxoire · 30/08/2019 09:36

claireb707 · 30/08/2019 09:42

Glad it's the weekend as well, I seem to be hyper aware of baby talk and pregnancy today. Another person is pregnant and someone I used to work with on a previous role has just been in talking about his new baby. Cant escape!
Hormones are great aren't they, feel like I'm about to burst into tears for no reason which has never really happened before. Bloody hell need to get a grip of myself don't I (I'm 40 fgs)

HappyGirl86 · 30/08/2019 09:45

Awww @claireb707 we all feel like that sometimes! I'm such an emotional person at times.....can't help it! I've stopped apologising for it now and just embrace it haha! I bet you'll feel better after a good weekend.

HappyGirl86 · 30/08/2019 09:46

I'm feeling ok @Luxoire thanks
Keeping getting cramps, pulling feeling in the night when I wake up. Trying not to worry!

Destiny25 · 30/08/2019 09:55

@Luxoire I retested and it was negative,
Had a huge sharp pain down my left low belly and then pulling and twinges for a day in the same area 2 days ago. Had a little bit of brown discharge last night when I wiped nothing since tho af due today so looks to be on her way.
Going to take some tablets to hold her off this weekend as I'm going out tomorrow wearing a white dress 🤦🏻‍♀️
How are you?

CouscousEvaporator · 30/08/2019 11:11

Aw @claireb707 you didn’t mess up! Don’t feel bad. What does he want going forward m, you to tell him every time you pee on a stick? Or for you to do it together? Maybe he just wants to be involved? I’d try and talk to him about what he wanted to happen, then you’re on the same page.
My partner wouldn’t care unless it was positive lol

Sorry to her that @Destiny25. Eek wearing white on a period! 😱 lol

@HappyGirl86 I get proper emotional all the time, don’t know what’s wrong with me. It’s getting worse with age. I almost cried this morning at a video of a cute puppy hahaha

@Luxoire no 2ww for me just 1 more period to go til we start ttc woohoo

claireb707 · 30/08/2019 11:15

Guess I wrongly assumed he wouldn't want to know unless +ve but hey go Sad
Will talk to him tonight about it and find out what he wants (whether to just know I've done one or be there)
He's actually very excited about the prospect of me being pregnant and I think it dashed his hopes a bit even though I said as I don't now know when I ovulated I could still be pregnant even though it was -ve

PieAndPumpkins · 30/08/2019 14:31

@claireb707 aww it's tricky. My dh wanted to be there when I tested, which can drag on a bit for you both, and be disheartening if you find yourself testing early etc. I'm determined this time not to test until I know it will be a clear positive or negative. Hopefully he'll understand you misunderstood what he wanted, and you'll be sure to have him there whenever you test in the future.

dancingqueen03 · 30/08/2019 16:58

Hi guys just checking how we all are 😊 Iv been busy these past 2 days so just been caching up with everything I've missed

@claireb707 I wouldn't worry to much about him being upset, my OH was moody when I first tested without him 😩 I didn't understand why he would want to be there while I weed on a stick but he just said it's cause he wanted to be there if it was a positive which I understand, now I'm texting him everyday while I'm peeing on my ovulation sticks haha 😂. My advice would be just explain you was confused about what your body was doing coming off the pill. Gives you all sorts of symptoms and you just needed to know what what's happening, hope it helps hun xx

@Luxoire how are you feeling with your migraines hun? I suffered with them when i came off the pill some days I needed to sleep they where that bad 😭 hope they ease for you soon..

@HappyGirl86 how you feeling today?

claireb707 · 30/08/2019 20:54

Thanks both that does make sense Smile why are hormones not easy?

Luxoire · 30/08/2019 21:04

@dancingqueen03 awww hun migraines have turned to a dull headache that is constantly there..but comapred to the migraines I am so grateful for this lol I am without meds at the moment. Also period came 2 days earlier than expected..it is lighter than my usual period so not aure if a period or withdrawal bleed or both. I always had full on heavy periods for 5-7 days whilst on the pill but this one is lighter

Either way i reckon I'd be in my safe zone now so we dtd last night no condoms..super messy with a 1 am laundry load (sorry TMI) but he was super grateful and even woke up early and sorted the kids out and left me to lie in till 8.30 before he left for work lol Hahahha

Luxoire · 30/08/2019 21:07

P.s. I am hoping my adventures last night dont lead to a BFP as baby will be 2/3 mo ths earlier than planned lol Hahahah

@Happygirl86 have u told ur OH yet? Or are u waiting to get a clearer test before u tell him?

@Destiny25 enjoy ur weekend and i hope yhe witch leaves u and ur white dresa alone..ur brave though wearing white this close to the witch's arrival

@CouscousEvaporator ohhh cool...so when do u start TTC Sept or Oct?

OP posts:
dancingqueen03 · 30/08/2019 21:18

@Luxoire aww well at least the migraines have stopped 😊 nothing worse than a headache

My period was strange this time too.. I'm normally heavy and last for about 5-7 too but this time it was light (a lot lighter than expected) and only lasted 3 days I was like what!! Is that it!! Haha 😂 full prepared very hard week!!

Ooo look at what a night with out comdoms can do 😂 I'd be doing it all the time like that for a lie in haha

dancingqueen03 · 30/08/2019 21:19

Condoms sorry lol

Luxoire · 30/08/2019 21:21

@dancingqueen Hahahha I think once the novelty wears off he'll be back to his usally self..another week or 2 on condoms will aoon straighten straighten him out hahahah

Hahaha are u expextonf a hard period next month then? Seems like the witch will get us back one way or another unless the hormones in BC just made things extra
