New Thread for The crazy gang!

[Katie1109]

Hi girls, I have created new thread. Hope you’ll see it x

@Mumofboys17
@Quiffy
@Ellsbells112

@Daisy8008

@Ellsbells112 looks like a dip to me, I researched it a couple of weeks ago and it was something like 23% of those researched had a dip and became pregnant, while 11% of those who also had a dip were not pregnant. Something like that. Unfortunately I had a dip last cycle and it was nothing but I do believe in the dip and your chart shows a big dip.

I hear you on the not being able to get through it thing, I guess it’s just not realising. It’s the same with people pestering couples on why there’s no babies yet, you just never know how much people might be struggling. This has certainly made me more thoughtful on saying anything like that

@Beau2020x I find thread jumpers so bad. Fair enough if you go an introduce yourself on a group thread and you’re in the same situation, but not to take over someone’s question when they’re struggle. There was someone on (I think it might have been this thread maybe?) who just jumped on with a bfp saying is this positive and she’s not even trying nor sure if she wants a baby and she got blanked because we were all desperately trying with very few bfps among us.. She went on to make a new thread and said how rude everyone was for ignoring her 😹 at least in that new thread she actually said she would love a baby

@quiffy looool I think I remember something like that like ummm EFF OFF also tho how about the people who say they have been lurking and never spoke but only post once they get a bfp?! Wtf mate I'm like are you just here to make us feel like shit I don't get it? 😂 What is that about!!

@quiffy @Beau2020x exactlyyyyy and this person wasn't a jumper it was just someone who came to a thread like months down the line and she basically fell with no issues nearly straight away great for her but please... Please.... Please think about what you're e saying! We have a lovely girl on that thread who hasn't even had a period in like 60 days please just take your complaining over a miracle we all want elsewhere. K thanks bye. 👋😂 I've literally sat here and prayed saying give me the worst sickness I will take it I will be depressed for 12 weeks I'll take it with my heart open just gimme it haha

About the dip... I don't know, trying desperately not to get my hopes up 😩 I had a dip before but it was a secondary estrogen surge at 4dpo and I also had ewcm sort of cm with it that's how I knew it was a secondary surge but with this obviously it was a bit later and no cm at all. Just constantly sitting here playing a guessing game ay. @quiffy when was your dip how many dpo were you did you jump right up after??

Weirdly I got asked TWICE yesterday if we are thinking of kids any time soon and one lovely colleague asked how old I was and his response to me being 28 was JESUS YOU'RE GETTING ON BEST GETTING POPPING THEM OUT. Like yeah, thanks. He was being dead serious as well. My body is a ticking time bomb according to him.

@Quiffy you are totally right about being more cautious now. I asked a pregnant girl at a hen party earlier last year if her baby was planned and asked loads of questions (I was just trying to be nice and interested) and she told me they had been trying for 2 years and she was planned. Now I feel totally awful...it's just an invasive and personal thing to ask! Ooops. She posted something on Instagram the other day as well about people asking about still like that and as much as I know it wasn't DIRECTLY aimed at me, I felt so so paranoid and guilty....

@Beau2020x I'm 27, 28 in a few months. I feel you, I think there's a way of asking things anyway. My friend rang me the other day like are you pregnant yet it made me feel so crap 😥 now I avoid her and hope she doesn't ring me because I know she'll ask again. No one can be harder on me than myself lol

@Ellsbells112 oh my love ❤️❤️❤️

Been there!!! I was so desperate for a baby it was like the longing used to physically hurt. I really think people can be so ignorant, especially when they've never experienced the rollercoaster of emotions or how hard it can be for some of us.

@Quiffy @Beau2020x urggghhh hate those thread jumpers!!!! It's like seriously?!! The amount of threads I've seen where people jump on like 'oh I know you've been trying to conceive for like 5 years but I had a one night stand now I'm pregnant with twins but only want one' 😒 (I may be exaggerating a tad.... just a teeny, tiny bit.....)

@Ellsbells112 P.S we're the same age 😉😘

@Ellsbells112 I know less than zero about bbt. BUT you're not out till AF shows 🤞
I am just about to purchase a digital thermometer for next month. CD 21 over here zero symptoms and even less hope :(
We use conceive plus and I just use one applicator before we go to bed. DH seems to find it a turn on so not a mood killer for us. It's my first month using it so will see if it helps or not in a few days time but I'm seriously doubtful!
I'm going to do bbt next month but I'll not be doing the mooncup method!

I’m turning 31 in a couple of months. Last birthday I was thinking I’d be up the duff by then. I can understand why people hate birthdays 😹 at that point DH wanted to wait until jan 2020 and I said Aug 19 we compromised at Oct but started earlier when DH realised he wasn’t getting no bang unless I got my buck 😹 just can’t believe that’s us now in jan. Time flies unless it’s the TWW.

@Beau2020x tbf I’d do it online so it would be easy to just ask someone. I’ll have to remember not to do that, I’m sure there’s just be loads of people asking her stuff. I’d probably be happy to share so people know it can be hard. I just presumed you either got pregnant straight away or you didn’t at all. The bit in between isn’t talked about enough

@Ellsbells112 mine wasn’t as big as yours but I had a drop with higher temp on each side, happened on 8dpo and my femometer app was like oooooo it’s an implantation dip (it wasn’t but I researched the balls off it hehe)

@mumofboys17 that’s not an exaggeration at all, I wouldn’t be surprised to see a twin one. You see it all on mumsnet 😹

Has anyone heard from @Blondeandbroody btw? I know she was having a really difficult time with getting af to show but haven’t seen her posting.

@Mumofboys17 ❤️😘 I just hope we all get good news soon ay!

@ange211 I know, I think we all get to that last part of the 2ww feel nothing and it slowly feels like it's going to be the same outcome once again. I have my fingers crossed for you chick xx also, I think following bbt is really really good, I was dtd when I got a solid smiley and once I charted bbt I realised once I got my solid it was already too late as my bbt had risen!! Fml this is all too much to take in 😂😭

@quiffy Ohh ok! Thanks :) I think I'm going to use a first response tomorrow morning and cry when it's a bfn 😥 my sis is 33 and she's been trying for a year and a half but she doesn't seem phased? Her friend just started a month ago and fell and I felt sorry for my sis but she was fine about it( surface level stuff) I'm pretty sure inside she felt it bless her.

I've added primrose oil tablets to my vitamin lot for next cycle to help ewcm!

Girls - we are ALL going to get our BFPs soon. We have to! I'm pretty sure I won't get one this month, I think my body had (hopefully) only just regulated from the implant. I hate that thing.

A senior college just tried to publicly embarrass me in work. Almost told her to fuck off. Little does she know I've already flagged her to HR last year. And every time I'm stood near her I can see her looking at my stomach - yes I bloat to a size 20 and I'm only a size 8 stop looking at me. God I hate her. Secretly can't wait for her to overstep the mark again so I can go full blown HR on her ass!

@Beau2020x Urghh I have one of them!! Our office supervisor is a dick. Loves to make drama. Thankfully she's been off sick for a few months so work life has been a lot less stressful lately 😂😂

Report that bitches arse!! 👊🏻😂😂

Well I knew it would be a big fucking negative but I still did it 😭 urgghhhh and now I tell myself oh it might be too early and oh its the 50th wee today after 3 litres of water there is still hope. 🤦‍♀️Sorry girls negative Nancy today I'm afraid

@Ellsbells112 Oh noooooo!! Af isn't due until Monday though?? It's still reaallly really early.

Why why whyyyyy do we do it to ourselves! I used 2 FRER one after the other last cycle 8DPO (fucking idiot) because I didn't believe the 1st one I did 30 mins previous.

@Ellsbells112 Oh babe 🙁 we've all done it!
Even though it's shit i think sometimes it's like we just need to do it. I stock up on the cheap shitty ones so I can test as much as I like but without the expense lol xx

@Beau2020x I genuinely think putting 2 tests in a pack is a bloody marketing ploy, you always end up using both especially if it's BFN!! 😩 xx

@Beau2020x I know 😩 but I guess because of past experience I will know when I am especially being hyper aware of it. I showed my OH and he's like "I thought you was gonna stop" like great thanks 🚫🙄

@mumofboys17 you did make me laugh. I'll still do another in the morning, my last first response I think. God but I knew it would make me feel depressed I should have waited 🤦‍♀️ xx

@Mumofboys17 yea you are spot on there!!! I bloody HATE the things now. Never buying a FRER again...I've got one left.

I think we we should all have a competition to see who can go the most DPO before testing hahaha

@Beau2020x Good idea!! 😂😂 what's the prize?? 😘

@Ellsbells112 sorry about your bfn - defo still early though! The EPO tablets are humongous, they make for a filling breakfast 😹

@Beau2020x bloody hell she sounds fun. I’m so happy to work from home these days, people like that made me so ill with how they acted.

I have to say, not testing last cycle was pretty freeing. I’m hoping to do the same this cycle but I know as soon as I feel something I will 😅

@Mumofboys17 I'm hoping the prize is an eventual BFP and the pure happiness with yourself of knowing you do have an inch of will power... now enough? haha

@Quiffy yeah wish I could work at home more. There is one in every office. This woman has needed sacking for about 15 years...

@Beau2020x Oh wow you went there 😂😂 amazing!! X
Best prize would be us ALL getting BFP's! That would make my year, no joke 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻

Guess I could try to be more strong willed 🙄 if I must 😂 just want AF to come now so I can get ready for next cycle lol I already know this month isn't it for us xx

Who's left to test now? X

@Mumofboys17 (I mostly aimed that at myself because I did 6 yes 6 tests before AF when I PROMISED myself I wouldn't do one until the day she was due). Hope I wasn't too cruel lol

@Beau2020x oh lord please don't think you've offended me!! I'm much more thick skinned than that 😉 I thought it was funny haha only coz it's bloody true!! X

@quiffy hope I'm not being stupid but what's the EPO pill?? 🤦‍♀️😂

@mumofboys17 @Beau2020x definitely on the who can last the longest! No lying either!!

So I had to write something on the thread where people were complaining about being sick and they can't even "look forward to it". Showed my negative pregnancy test and said I'm sick of this every fucking month and my hopes being crushed. Two others piped up that they felt the same, I think my point was well and truly put across 🤦‍♀️😂 I'm sorry but I had to. Am I mean? Lol

My mum has just been telling me how ill she was when she had me. I know she still had bleeds with me for 3 months but she was also super sick right up until 7 months. I was sitting thinking I’ll take it 😹 although I was the perfect baby that slept all the time so there is that. I think she might know we’re ttc but she’s being brilliant with not mentioning it fully. Unlike other members of my family who keep asking why and I’m getting pretty old now 🤪
