@Missgoldilocks vvvvv cute! I have two cats 🐈 xxx

@Annny27 yes, pretty much no mucus now so if I'm heading back to a 'normal' cycle after months and months of craziness I'd assume I'd be due on around Thursday next week.
Hopefully your fertile week passes quickly 🤣 xxx

Gems7 · 26/05/2020 15:35

@Annny27 I'm okay thanks huni 😊 maybe just a tad emosh.. (you were right) OH Took me and my son for a drive and a walk along the beach today, it sorted me right out! I did a test yesterday and was gutted it was still positive, can't believe it takes so long, although in hindsight it's probably a good thing as the hormones must have been high. I have two lots of antibiotics that I finish tomorrow. I haven't really bled much either (did you?) I'm not bleeding today anyway, just get some tinged CM every now and again, hope it's not weeks until first AF, think OH will lose it if he has to wait another 8 weeks before we DTD 🤣
Xx

Missgoldilocks · 26/05/2020 20:52

@anny27 thank you he's so sweet xx

@PrettyTulip thank you, what kind of cats do you have? Good luck!!

@Gems7 you know it's the weirdest thing, 3 people I know on here got their bfps the same month as you or the month after and this also happened to them 😳😩 let's hope the next one is a strong sticky bean for you xx

Laur89 · 26/05/2020 21:08

Sorry girls just caught up on this thread! Oh gosh @Gems7 that all sounds horrible, I'm so sorry you had to go through that 😩 hopefully you are feeling better now, sending you a big virtual hug 🤗

Gems7 · 27/05/2020 12:16

@Laur89 Thanks hun, it just wasn't meant to be xx

Missgoldilocks · 28/05/2020 00:59

Af pains have started so it'll be here on time again x

Gems7 · 28/05/2020 08:41

@Missgoldilocks ah man!!! Hope you're wrong though! 🤞🏻 trust me I felt exactly like AF was coming when I got my BFP, same cramps, same bloating! Xxx

Missgoldilocks · 28/05/2020 10:47

@Gems7 I've woken up today angry at the world lol so even the hormones in regards to my feelings are the usual! I could cry and scream 😣 hope you're OK xx

Annny27 · 28/05/2020 10:50

@missgoldilocks :( every bloody month is frustrating isn't it!!! Hope she stays away but when you know she is on the way its hard to remain positive isn't it :(

@Gems7 hope your hormones are settling down as well. I also had a case of thrush afte rmiscarriage caused by the antibiotics so just look out for it (as if your vagina needed to go through anything else haha)

@PrettyTulip yes really hope this is a normal cycle for you!!!

Cd9 here started dtd cd7 just gonna dtd every other night

Missgoldilocks · 28/05/2020 10:54

@anny27 good luck lovely I hope this cycle is your cycle xx

Gems7 · 28/05/2020 10:55

@Annny27 oh yes, I'm waiting for a call back from the GP as I type because I'm pretty sure I have got thrush! 😂 it's like Jesus what else can go wrong with my vagina! 🤦🏻‍♀️ whyyyyyyyyyy 😭

@Missgoldilocks if you feel like you need to scream and cry, do it! Let it out, I totally get it, it's not fair! ❤️ still hope you're wrong though
Xx

PrettyTulip · 28/05/2020 11:32

@Annny27 thanks my lovely fingers crossed your egg does it's thingggg this month! Xx

Soooo DH got a letter in the post yesterday about his sperm sample. Turns out they've discarded it because he didn't get a letter to say it was cancelled?! If they had it why didn't they just do it grr lol what a waste!! Xx

Missgoldilocks · 28/05/2020 12:10

@PrettyTulip that's so annoying!!

@Gems7 thanks chick xx sorry about your thrush 😩 awful xx

Missgoldilocks · 29/05/2020 09:25

Oh fucking hell girls I'm so upset 😣 all I do is spend money on things to get pregnant nothing works I swear my body is broken and just can't get pregnant 😭 Ahhh it's infuriating I'm so scared it's never going to happen! Yesterday on another thread someone posted a pregnancy test some random person and I burst into tears because it's not fair

Annny27 · 29/05/2020 09:30

Awwh @missgoldilocks its horrible :( its all I think about and its very all consuming:(

My doctor said 90% of people get pregnant in a year and then out of the 10% that don't, 90% of them get pregnant within 2 years and that really helped me 💗 but it is a worry when you wonder omg will it ever happen!!!

Missgoldilocks · 29/05/2020 09:37

@anny27 totally, I know in my head logically speaking that it can take time but my heart just can't accept it! I'm constantly battling myself and it's just awful! I can't concentrate on something else for long it really is consuming. How are you doing? Has af finished? Pretty sure mine will be here Sunday, I ate a whole tub of Ben and Jerry's yesterday

Annny27 · 29/05/2020 09:49

@missgoldilocks its probably our heart trying to protect us because I also think "omg what if it NEVER happens". Dods your partner feel upset about it too? I think my husband doesn't think about it as much as me but is still obviously upset when it doesn't happen

Yep on cd10 now and dtd on cd7 and cd9 and will just continue through to ovulation. Hope it happens soon 🤣

Annny27 · 29/05/2020 09:51

@PrettyTulip thats annoying about DHs sperm test! Will they request it again?

@Gems7 omg as if you needed anything more haha! I had set before I realised I had thrush (it was about 3 weeks after miscarriage and the sex was really painful which was because of the thrush but didn't realise at the time)

But if you had dtd make sure to treat OH with 5he cream too as my DJ reinfwcted a month later which was annoying!

Annny27 · 29/05/2020 09:52

Awful typos above but you get the idea haha. Sex not set, DH not DJ etc

Gems7 · 29/05/2020 10:36

@Annny27 we haven't had sex in about 9 weeks 😂 I was getting sore the day before I finished my antibiotics so had an idea that's what it was, spoke to my gp yesterday just about my miscarriage in general because they had received my discharge notification from the hospital and I mentioned the thrush so went and bought cream and a capsule from the pharmacy yesterday.
Honestly.. Think my vaginas just about done with it all now, it needs some TLC!!

@Missgoldilocks I can't even say anything that will make you feel better because I've felt exactly the same and nothing helps. It's just not fair. And everyone is pregnant at the minute, every time I go on Facebook there's yet another pregnant celeb in her bloody 60's (slight over exaggeration) and I think whoop fucking whoop!

Spending shit loads of money on OPK's every month, it's hard, it really is.
My friend from work told me when I was trying (and I hear this all the time on these boards) that she tried for 2 years.. nothing, she said eventually you do get to a point where you do just think "fuck it" and stop obsessing, and she said next month BAM she was pregnant!

P.s Ben and Jerries is my fave.. phish food.. mmmm 🤤 xx

Missgoldilocks · 29/05/2020 10:57

@Gems7 omg babe there's one called Netflix and chill, it's peanut butter ice cream pretzels and brownies... OMFGGGHH I literally cried with happiness it was so good 😂 now I need to workout 😬. I know, I literally know but I just can't. I even remember that I had so much unprotected sex and never got pregnant for like 4 years lmao even with my first pregnancy I was sleeping with him for a year before anything happened, maybe a bit longer. OK it wasn't timed but I'm preeeetttty sure I had sex when I was ovulating like 400 times 😂😂 it's just like what the fuck. My sis says to me it'll happen when it's the right time. OK so the 3 abortions I had happened at the right time did they? 2 of those times with absolute dickheads like straight a fucking waaaaaay because I'm an iddiooott how does that even happen!?!?!? Oh my GOD I have like the best life to give a new child and its not happening!!!!! I literally need a punching bag!!! I'm looking at Castor oil packs and I'm like Ellie shut the efffff up you've spent dumb amounts of money already ITS NOT GOING TO WORK 😩💷 I swear, I'm THIS close to throwing 450 pounds at a tube test thingy!!!! I want cigarettes god I want cigarettes because I'm stressed from it all this whole 10 months have been just so straining on my relationship and my life and happiness for God sake and now my work is starting to pick up in a good way but I just want a bloomin baby!!! But if I buy cigarettes my OH bloody hates them and gives me dirty looks yes because they're nasty but when I'm stressed it's so bloody good Ahhh I've obviously cracked 😂😂
Ladies I really needed to vent that and this is the only thread I can really be blunt and just fucking see through with my gal pals and now the cramps are kicking in and I'm SICK OFFFFF IIIIIITTTT can it just be over and be in my fertile week again please?? Maybe I should get drunk and smoke 20 a day and put on 8 stone again because it was WELL EASY TO GET PREGNANT THEN!!! 😂😂😅😅😅😅😅😅😩

LOVE YOU GIRLS ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Gems7 · 29/05/2020 13:34

@Missgoldilocks Step away from the castor oil!!, do not waste money on anything other than OPK's and vitamins, you don't need them, you are healthy, your OH is healthy, his sperm is fine, you are in such a good position.
When I had my son in my early 20's I was so fat and unhealthy too, I lost loads of weight by my late 20's because I hated myself, I was disgusting and unfit, and I smoked back then too.. (quit a few years ago).. went to festivals all the time, drank tons.. but I wasn't trying to get pregnant back then, I wasn't even thinking about babies, maybe that has something to do with it, maybe keeping your mind on other things and not TTC is helpful in a way.
Give yourself a break, be kind to yourself because you have done amazing to get to where you are in life, if we don't make mistakes, we don't learn, we don't grow. you have it all now, a good/happy life and when this baby comes he/she will be incredibly lucky to be born into your world.

I really am so happy I have you ladies to talk to, you've helped me so much recently ❤️❤️
Hope you all have a lovely weekend. I've impulse bought a tent 🙈 with the intention of taking my son camping, we are going to attempt to put it up this afternoon, wish me luck!! Xxx

Missgoldilocks · 29/05/2020 14:49

@Gems7 yep! It's crazy!! But also early 20s you're super fertile, I remember having like masses and masses of ewcm and not realising what it even was 😅 anyway, I won't buy the castor oil pack. Now I'm going mad because I'm 12dpo and I've had slight spotting barely nothing when wiping but I never spot on 12dpo and I never have my period on cd27 which is today, I either come on cd28/29/30 with a little cramping. Its obviously af but I can't help but have a little. Hope that maybe it's the start of something... I'll probably be shot down later today or tomorrow tho!

Enjoy camping that sounds super fun! I'm cleaning manically at the moment that's my Friday xx

Missgoldilocks · 30/05/2020 09:24

I actually hate my body right now. I had brown cm yesterday morning and cramps all day so I had a pad in felt like af was gonna come early at any minute. After that episode nothing whenever I checked my cervix just clear cm and the same this morning. I still have a pad on just in case because it feels like it's going to come and it loves to get me in the morning. Why woukd I have browny pinky cm yesterday then nothing?? I did an opk just now stark white I'm too scared to do a pregnancy test because I just know af is gonna come.. 😬

Laur89 · 30/05/2020 11:14

Argh @Missgoldilocks that's so frustrating!! I had similar af cramps before my bfp, and I was convinced af was arriving, I did the test and was like there's no point cos it's definitely gonna be negative, I couldn't believe it when I saw it! Fingers crossed for you lovely 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻
