@anny27 we dtd on Tuesday didn't do it yesterday will probably dtd tonight. Then Friday Saturday and Sunday I suppose haha. We used the cup and my god I couldn't get it out the next day!! I had to get my partner to pull it out while I sat on the bloody toilet!! Ffs 😂😂😂😂 I thought I'd have to go hospital 😩
How are you doing? X

@Gems7 hope you're as well as can be chick 🤗🤗❤️❤️

PrettyTulip · 14/05/2020 11:54

@Missgoldilocks what's the cup? Xx

Missgoldilocks · 14/05/2020 12:29

@PrettyTulip it's a menstrual cup and people put it in after dtd to hold the sperm up by the cervix so it can't go anywhere but up! Unfortunately for me I found it hard to get out lol but a lot of people swear by it. I might do it one more time on Saturday and hope for the best lol xx

Annny27 · 14/05/2020 15:42

Omg the cup story sounds traumatic haha @Missgoldilocks 🤣🤣🤣 hope it works!

@Gems7 sending love 💗

PrettyTulip · 14/05/2020 17:56

@Missgoldilocks I have never heard of that!! Interesting 🧐

I've always liked the idea of a menstrual cup for AF but I'm too scared to use one in case it goes wrong and I spill it everywhere haha xx

Gems7 · 14/05/2020 18:57

Thanks girls, I started bleeding this morning so hopefully it's happening now. What a shitty long drawn out process it's been! 🙄 will be back TTC with you all in a few weeks when I can.

@Missgoldilocks reading that your OH had to remove your menstrual cup really tickled me 😂 I bet that was absolutely hilarious!
I'm with you @PrettyTulip I don't think I would put it in properly and it would bloody spill out everywhere 🤣 xx

Missgoldilocks · 14/05/2020 19:25

@PrettyTulip @Gems7 @anny27 it will definitely spill I have no clue how girls use it!! It was funny to think about it afterwards, the panic and I was literally going into all different positions trying to get it out whining that I'd get thrush. I squatted in front of him I got in doggy I pushed like I was pushing a bbay out 😂😂😂😩it was mental haha bless him for finally getting it out thank god! Xx

Annny27 · 16/05/2020 08:12

7dpo here, no symptoms yet

@Missgoldilocks that sounds hilarious haha! Glad your DP isn't traumatised 🤣🤣 have you got your static smiley yet?

@gems7 glad that it seems to be working now. Do you think the worst is behind you? Yeah the cramps are bad, also I had really bad bowel cramps and shooting pains in my bum! Wasn't nice

@prettytulip is your period over now?

PrettyTulip · 16/05/2020 13:04

@Annny27 yes my lovely it sure is! Fingers crossed this will be a normal cycle although I'm not tracking it atm xx

Missgoldilocks · 16/05/2020 15:13

@anny27 I haven't got any clear blue opks left I'm using the cheapie now but I haven't even used any because I haven't been bothered I'm. Pretty sure I'll ovulate Sunday as usual for the past 10 months haha cd15. We've dtd lots I'm sick of sex lol ffs I hope it works this time because I feel like I. Need a full on break from sex. How are you?

Missgoldilocks · 17/05/2020 12:37

Hi guys how are we all? I hate having sex 😣😕 I'm sore we've done it every day since Thursday and Saturday we did it twice. I should be ovulating today and I've woken up to amazing mucus lol we will dtd again this evening 😱😭 ffs I seriously need a break. I wish he finished on 5 minutes and this is probably the only situation where I would wish that!! So painful and Im just not interested!! I literally just blahze about it all!
I'm praying we get good news this month we've done it 5 times and we will be doing it 6 or 7 times in total give me a beak lol
I praaaaay it happens this month because if not next month I seriously need to figure out what to do our sex life is deaaaaaad😩😩😩😩😩😩😩😩😩😩😩

Annny27 · 17/05/2020 12:52

Its so boring these days isn't it @missgoldilocks ! Honestly I cba to have set either 🤣 everyone's like "have fun in your fertile week" and I am like "🙄🙄🤣"

Gems7 · 17/05/2020 13:45

@Missgoldilocks I'm at the other end to you, I haven't had sex in weeks and weeks 😂😂 and omg I was soooooo glad for the break! It's been amazing.. But now I must hear at least 10 sly remarks every day from OH about being starved of it. I actually can't wait to get back to it.
Still bleeding, lightly, still don't think I've passed the sac or any pregnancy tissue and had a positive test this morning. Early pregnancy unit are calling me tomorrow so will hopefully get sorted out for good this week. Xx

Annny27 · 17/05/2020 14:09

@Gems7 when I was pregnant and then going through the miscarriage I didn't have set for almost 10 weeks 🤣

Ahh that sucks that you don't think its passed yet :( mine was quite a noticeable lump like the size of 2 golf balls so I don't think you would miss it. Unless it came out in pieces sort of thing

Annny27 · 17/05/2020 14:10

sex not set* 🤣

Gems7 · 17/05/2020 14:33

@Annny27 I was so ready for the break from sex but OH is struggling to keep patient now 😂

I read online that a 7 week old pregnancy sac etc looked like a large pickled onion 😳 don't know how true that is, but I have only passed very very small bits of red tissue, nothing major and I really think I will know when I have passed the sac, I know it won't look like a baby but I'm sure it will somehow feel different to what I've experienced so far. Xx

Missgoldilocks · 17/05/2020 17:08

@anny27 @Gems7 yeah fun at fertile week went out the window time ago haha but now it's like 😬 do you have to stick that in me again?! Ffs 😂 I neeeeeeed this to be over ASAP. I realise that I ovulate over the weekend every weekend for the past however long. Do the days you guys ovulate change? Or do you find like a Sunday is prevalent each month?

Gems7 · 17/05/2020 17:59

@Missgoldilocks I only tracked with OPK's for a few months but mine was on a Sunday same time as you xx

PrettyTulip · 17/05/2020 18:18

Haha girls 😂🤣
Tbh yes the joy of sex has disappeared for me too!!! Xx

Missgoldilocks · 17/05/2020 18:21

@Gems7 it's weird isn't it! Haha xx

@PrettyTulip it's so shit lol x

Annny27 · 18/05/2020 09:47

My cycles are semi irregular so don't always ovulate on the same day @Missgoldilocks @Gems7

@missgoldilocks hopefully you have ovulated, conceived and therefore no more sex 🤣🤣

@gems7 let us know what the epu say today xx

@prettytulip yep and can't imagine the joy will improve much after we all have our babies either 🤣🤣

PrettyTulip · 18/05/2020 17:35

@Annny27 god no. These people who do it several times a day are mad! He just has to roll over and spoon me in bed and I'm like na, fudge off mate 🤣 xxx

Gems7 · 18/05/2020 18:56

@Annny27 I have yet another scan tomorrow morning at 9:30, think this will be my 4th or 5th week in a row now. They will have a look inside, see what's going on and if the sac etc is still there then I will have surgery but only local anaesthetic because of covid. Not sure if surgery would be same day or if I will have to go back.
Il keep you updated.
I always thought TTC but not succeeding was the worst thing ever but it's not, miscarriage is.
I'll let you know how it goes.

Xxx

Annny27 · 19/05/2020 18:49

@Gems7 its endless isn't it :( miscarriage and the aftermath and the process really is horrific!

What did the scan show?

Gems7 · 19/05/2020 19:08

@Annny27 it's all still there in tact! Two rounds of medical management haven't worked, it's unbelievable and very unusual. I have to have surgery under local anaesthetic on Friday but the procedure sounds absolutely horrific. I have my legs in stirrups and they inject around my cervix to numb it and that's just the start 😔 I broke down crying when she explained the process to me, I'm so scared but there's nothing else that I can do other than wait. They won't do general anaesthetic at the moment because of covid.
The sonographer felt for me, he said I must have very strong pregnancy hormones, it's just so shit! I'm not doing very well today xx
