Chatterbox May Bus - part 4

[Sausage1990]

Thought I'd best start a new thread. I'm. It great at keeping track of the conversation all but i don't want to loose track of you all 💕
@Franklydear @MrsEmilyB @SmileyT @Juno231 @babyg123

@MrsEmilyB oh my goodness that sounds awful. Hope you’re back to normal now. I had a similar weird reaction to some mackerel once when I was out (do you remember that time where you used to go to pubs? 😂) I came over super hot and blotchy skin and felt really off. Googled it of course and it said it was histamine toxicity. Weird question, but I guess it wasn’t the first time you’ve had celery? Lol.

@Aimy1 your line looks good! 😍 is there someone you trust at work to confide in?

@bluebubbles12 oooh a shadow! I thought I had a shadow yesterday on a cheapie and it was defo positive. Have you got a FRER you could try? 🤞

I’ve been googling baby hammocks (omg baby stuff is expensive!) and found these

Totally getting ahead of myself but decided I need to tell DH ASAP as he keeps saying we should have cocktails this weekend with our neighbours (in our own gardens of course!) Eeek!

@orangej there is only myself, my manager and another girl who work there x

@OrangeJ yeah I either have one or two FRERs, which I was saving for when I hopefully got a positive on an IC to be able to confirm it. If AF hasn't arrived by tomorrow morning then I'm definitely late based on my last couple of cycles, so I may give one a go.

So did you have a little bit of something on an IC and then a clearer line on a FRER (sorry, I will have read that somewhere, there have just been so many positives that I've lost track haha!)

Morning all. @MrsEmilyB that sounds scary, agree with the others to go to the doctors and take an allergy test.

@Aimy1 Not sure what the rules are in the UK, but here, even before corona, if you worked with young children you were immediately signed off work/hours reduced significantly until your maternity leave if over

@OrangeJ massive congratulations & def tell your DH if he thinks cocktails are in order!
Just a thought btw on the hammocks I know it’s v early but we used an Amby hammock with DS1 & loved it as we have a very hot house & it was the year of the heat wave our bedroom was over 30 degrees - don’t buy anything with solid sides as they are a suffocation risk don’t forget cradles/ cots etc tend to have breathable sides for a reason

Sorry just felt the need to say that, we loved our hammock & DS is a fab sleeper, we have kept in case of another but they are a bit contentious

@Aimy1 Your line looks good! Gongrats 🥳!

Where is everyone in there cycle? Anyone testing soon?

@MrsEmilyB blimey, that sounds terrifying! Hope the GP is able to offer some advice!

@RobinRose glad you’re migraine has eased up! I’m on CD20, I think 6-7DPO... and symptom spotting like crazy 🙈 (each month I tell myself I won’t symptom spot - why do I do this to myself?!). I believe AF is due around the 28th of this month, but FF app has brought that date forward to the 25th as it looks like O was a bit earlier than normal, so if AF hasn’t arrived by then I will try and wait until the 28th to test 🤞

@Aimy1 congratulations! 🥳

@bluebubbles12 oooh fingers crossed for you 🤞

@bluebubbles12 @OrangeJ @TheLastStark @MoonW thank you for your concern. I have had celery before but many, many years ago. And it seems to be hidden in everything so I'm not sure. GP said they won't refer me unless it happens again so we shall see.

My chart isn't looking hopeful I don't think 😭😭😭😭😭 temp slowly falling.

@aimy1 I think the concerns for rona and pregnancy are for the third trimester? First and second trimester you even have key workers working in frontline NHS so based on that it should be fine? As in they don't seem to think it makes much difference at that stage. Main concern would be getting a fever I guess but you'd just have to keep it down with paracetamol if that happens.

@juno231 yeah I've seen it's the last trimester that it is the concern but hoe you are meant to be cautious the first 12 weeks too without the coronovirus, I didn't know if it would be best to not got back to work until september as that is when she is looking st fully reopening x

@Aimy1 I would speak to your manager. I manage a team of key workers (social workers) and I have a member of staff only 6 weeks pregnant (she wouldn’t have told me if it weren’t for coronavirus) and our policy is that she shields immediately.

@MrsEmilyB that’s a bit annoying that they can’t do anything as not an experience you really want to go through again! Your temp still looks to be above cover line so will everything crossed for you 🤞💕

@MoonW I don’t even know if I ovulated this month but I’m still symptom spotting 🙄😂 it’s really hard not to though isn’t it? It’s like, the worse game you can play with yourself 😂Based on when I think I may have ovulated, I’m CD21 roughly 10DPO! I am certain af will arrive by the end of the week 👎(migraine and icky stomach are sure signs for me) I have fingers crossed for you!

@GemmaMay3291 my manager isn't exactly the best at paperwork ect, so she would not have a policy in place for this. I'm just worried, I have tried so hard to get pregnant, I just dont want to risk anything. She has already said it may only be the odd day here and there so I just no point in risking it? X

@Aimy1 in that case I wouldn’t risk it personally.

Hey girlsss so I tested with a frer this morning and it's a bfn. It's just been a confusing day and it's only just gone past 1. 😩😩 I don't know what's up with my body??

No AF for 3 days and I'm at 13dpo, any advice?

Feel really shit getting my hopes up after a faint positive on the cassette test a few days ago.

Was not expecting a BFN especially on a frer 😞

@RobinRose it definitely is the worst game, and yet each month away we go 😂 I’ve still got everything crossed for you & it’s not over until AF arrives 🤞

@CaramelTart23 I’m sorry to hear about your BFN. But it’s not over until AF is here, and implantation can happen anywhere up to 10-12DPO from what I’ve read, so may still just be too early and worth trying again in a couple of days if still no AF? 💕

@CaramelTart23 sorry to hear about your BFN but 13DPO is still early. It can take a couple of days after implantation before HCG shows up. It’s worth testing again in a few days. Also how sensitive is the test that you have used. X

It's one week today until AF is due to arrive and I'm having alot of changes! Could be either pregnancy or AF
I've got lower back pain, sore boobs and headaches ALTHOUGH
I have increased sense of smell
Nausea
Restless legs
really weird dreams 🙈
And the smell of coffee is making me sick! And I usually drink 8-10 cups a day! Lol

I had all that with my previous pregnancies but trying not to think about it too much I still have 7 days to go according to flo so trying to ignore it all and keep my mind off it
Xx

That sounds promising @Nicolet91. Fingers crossed. I’m now 12dpo and had the tiniest amount of spotting. Due AF tomorrow so think I’m out. Had a negative frer last night too

@MrsRSS
Dont loose hope just yet!
With my previous pregnancies! I was 2/3 weeks late before I got a positive result due to a low HCG count! Sorry you got a BFN tho! Take your mind off it! Movie, icecream and a fluffy blanket do the job for me
Xx

Thank you @nicolet91. Yeah just going to ignore it now and wait for my period to come and go from there

Hi everyone! I took a break for a few days and you're already on another thread 😂

Congratulations to everyone with BFPs!

I'm CD9, not had any darkening of OPKs yet so just waiting and trying to distract myself!

I'm having similar symptoms @Nicolet91 let's hope it means good things are ahead!

@CaramelTart23 so sorry about your BFN. How long are your luteal phases usually? Is 13/14 days past ovulation long for you? As others have said, 13dpo is early still.

@RobinRose fingers crossed for you cycle buddy ❤️❤️

@Nicolet91 how long have you had those symptoms for? I had headaches and nausea 3-6dpo and have had backache since. Mild cramps and today and yesterday some very light spotting of brown colour (sorry, TMI). Cervix is very high but still quite hard and I don't have lots of cm. Also, I haven't heard about a slow hcg rise before! What causes it?

@mrsrss - sorry about BFN 😞 but it's still early. Not over until AF arrives
