Do any of you who don't already have a child wonder what your future child will look like?? I literally wonder all the time because me and my OH are completely different!!

SmileyT · 23/07/2020 19:09

@lucyrp you are so lucky with no hangover, I'm pretty sure I'm allergic to so many alcohols, I used to be sick about 4 times a week when I was at uni 🤦🏾‍♀️ @Juno231 I was sick on the way back from ascot and unfortunately have no class so stepped off of the tube threw up on the platform and got back on the train and I was sick on a £200 dress that never came out and it was very sad 🤣

@Vil10 well we had sex about 6 times between ovulation date and BFP so I don't buy into the no orgasm thing, mainly for selfish reasons though 🤗 and yes I really wonder what our kids will look like, think it's why I want a boy can't imagine the girl is pretty 😭

@SarahTTC2020 I think it's so hard with pregnancy announcements, when my friend conceived she didn't tell one of my friends that had been trying because she wanted to tell her sensitively face to face but somebody else got in there first 🙈

@Catherinettc was your line darker before or lighter? Really hoping it turns into a BFP for you xx

Also I'm dead at the lo battery chat 🤣😂🤣

@Vil10 we did, and I was completely off. I expected dark straight hair and green eyes with dd1. She has the bluest eyes and was bald until about 3 and now has tight blonde ringlets. DD2 has blonde straight hair and blue/green eyes.
Both have olive skin like me, and they have very similar facial features with each other.

lucyrp · 23/07/2020 19:17

@Juno231 that's impressive! 😂😂. I did have a bit of a wretch moment this morning mind you

@Busybee143 yeah I believe you should! I always do as like you I have a few days of spotting, one before and a couple after the most of af has gone

@Vil10 I think all the time about what mine and OH child will look like as DS is with someone else and he honestly looks completely different to what I would have imagined👀

@Catherinettc I can see it and there's some colour to it at the bottom!

@SmileyT I normally get savage hangovers but not today not sure why! 😂 omg that ascot story😂 also loling at the lo battery chat 😂 I didn't know what people were on about to start with 😂

Lettie365 · 23/07/2020 19:30

@Vil10 I have a daughter who looks just like me and a son who looks just like his Dad! I wonder what our potential number 3 might look like - a weird Schmush of the two of us?! 🤷‍♀️😂

2alreadywantanother · 23/07/2020 19:38

Anyone experience ovulation spotting? My own dates for ov is 25th but app saying 29th as af was late which never happens. Few hrs ago I had ewcm and jumped DH now I've reddish cm and looked it up. Seemingly happens. Even DH said I think ur ovulating DTD 🙈 so heres hoping. My RHR has been slightly on the rise this 2/3 days and looking at last months it higher than last month.
I only dis 2 opk that were White and said I'm way to early as app said 29th. Maybe I missed my opportunity to get a peak? Possible right ?

LV1987 · 23/07/2020 19:46

@Vil10 I already know our first will look like OH...the two boys are his absolute spit... The genes are strong with that one 😂

2alreadywantanother · 23/07/2020 19:48

I meant to attach this

My 2 are the spit of me. Shes a bit like her dad but my sisters double

13 lucky for some? No...cos our bodies are f**k boys 🤪
Juno231 · 23/07/2020 19:48

@SmileyT don't worry I've had plenty of less lady like evenings too! Was sick onto the tracks at St Paul's station and sauntered off as if nothing had happened.

@vil10 yes! I'm worried they'll be hideous lol if they get the worst bits of us both. I'm hoping for light eyes as OH has gorgeous blue ones and I have a green allele so should be a 50/50 shot.

Catherinettc · 23/07/2020 19:51

Believe it or not it is darker than the ones before.

Think i will ring docs in the morning and see what they say.

Feel so sick the last day or 2 and can smell things from a 10 mile radius 🤮🤣🤣

Will get checked incase its anything left over, was maybe twins and lost one or maybe ectopic. Or maybe I'm a lunatic 🤣🤣 xx

DKDK123 · 23/07/2020 20:08

FFS im so impulsive! I just wasted a FRER despite only being 9dpo and it not even being FMU, its one of them I know its going to be a BFN but I cant wait till morning I have such an urge to do it now 🤦‍♀️ Haven't even got any syptoms that are different from my usual TWW symptoms other than being super emotional but that could also just be tiredness so no idea why the urge to POAS at 8pm was so strong. Please tell me im not the only one with zero willpower 😂

Franklydear · 23/07/2020 20:10

Hello
I've been doing some meditation/thinking, as I've been a bit down/reconsidering life lately... and my conclusion is I have a good DH, who is a good honest person, loves me and ds, and stuck with me through thick and thin, what else could I want?
@lucyrp @juno231 last time I went out in march after years of only going for a glass of wine with other mums, I went out with my very young male colleagues... Straight after work and no dinner, I hold my own while it was just cider until about 9, after that was shots and whiskies until midnight, I am not quite sure what happened, but they won't tell me 😫

Juno231 · 23/07/2020 20:22

@Franklydear hahaha that's hilarious! Probably best not to know 🙊.

I woke up in a bus depot once after work drinks if it makes you feel any better ☺️

Franklydear · 23/07/2020 20:57

@juno231 I don't think anything can make me feel better, they are all twentysomethings, and usually see me as a mum, eg asked my opinion on their mothers day gifts, kind of thing, I got pretty wild and some things I am not sure whether they actually happened, I hope not, the only good thing I haven't seen some of them since, and only had convos by text, enough time has passed so nobody will mention, right?🙈

Vil10 · 23/07/2020 21:33

@SmileyT maybe I just take it with a pinch of salt then! Can't imagine the girl being pretty😂😂 I also really want a boy!!

@3andout isn't it funny how it works!! I find it bizarre, everyone in my family have dark brown eyes apart from my mums dad and my dads mum, they have piercing blue, and my twin cousins who's mum and dad both have dark brown eyes have the bluest of blue eyes! It's crazy how it all pans out!

@lucyrp do you and your OH have similar like hair/eye/skin colour??

@Lettie365 hahaha a complete split down the middle!

@LV1987 you may have stronger genes! Keep the faith😂

@Juno231 sounds awful but I always think that! Like what if our child gets both of our worst features! I'll be so happy if my child gets my OH's eyes, his eyes are the bluest of blue eyes ever they're gorgeous!! But I'd love if I had a girl and she had his eyes and my dark hair! I get way too ahead of myself😂

lucyrp · 23/07/2020 21:35

@Vil10 absolutely not😂😂 I am like very pale skinned normally, I have blue eyes and my natural hair colour is like a mousy brown. OH has jet black hair, brown eyes and olive kind of skin and has an almost Asian look about him sometimes👀🙈

Mococo1 · 23/07/2020 21:36

@Catherinettc I see a line too! Do you have any internet cheapies? Sometimes the lines more clearer and if you see it's faint on there then you know u don't have a dodgy test at all! Either way I'd call the docs 😂

@Vil10 I try not to- it could be a weird mix of both of us 🤣 or barely anything like us at all as we are so diff looking! Hoping it has a nice skin tone tho as were both south asian but I'm a good medium brown and he is really light skinned x

I've gone crazy and ordered not 1 but not 2 but 4 more CB tests to test until I'm 3+ just hope I get some symptoms or something 😭

blodyn91 · 23/07/2020 21:45

Since me and OH are blonde sort of expecting a little blondie, but my mum and all my cousins and sibling are all dark brown eyes and hair so could definitely be dark! Hope they get OH skin as it tans soooo easy, I have to be more careful with the factor 30.

Franklydear · 23/07/2020 21:58

My ds looks so much like me, that there are some baby photos that my mum needs to look at the clothing to know which is, but now he is 10 he is starting to look more like his father than a male version of me, as a funny anecdote, the first time one of my aunties saw him, at 18 months (she lives in another country) standing in my mum's living room, scream ' omg it is 1979'

Newbie0818 · 23/07/2020 22:14

Just had the WORST stabbing pain in my lower belly 😭😭 our bodies can be so mean.

On the topic of dc, this will be both our first and I often wonder! To brighten everyone's night here's a pic of me as a bub 😂

13 lucky for some? No...cos our bodies are f**k boys 🤪
Vil10 · 23/07/2020 23:56

@lucyrp hahaha so your baby could come out looking like either one of you! Or a direct split would be gorgg,blue eyes olive skin!!

@Mococo1 I always seem to be thinking about it!! Oooo you're child will have a lovely skin tone!!

Minster2012 · 24/07/2020 00:20

Awww @LV1987 I'm just checking in after such a shit day & you've made me cry 😬😭😢happy supportive tears though you & your progesterone me & bloody AF
& a fight with DH means I've just retired to spare room having sat downstairs in a huff watching fearne macann mummy diaries or whatever 🙄😬bloody men but thank you so much love you ladies xx

Oh yeah def no orgasms ladies in TWW. Look at @SmileyT, she's not smiley. Oh no. No organs or choc for her in TWW. Or snacks I bet. Fuck off her OH was the BEST at getting ALL the snacks. That's what bloody started the snacking. Snacking at the desk. Snacking on a Friday. Snacking on the tube. Then @Missgoldilocks comes in with her Oreo OH & raises the game if I remember correctly.

My DH might get served divorce soon. He needs to seriously think about his snacking life.

Ha ha I think we need to not worry so much about the BFP in 8 weeks, last time my fuck boy of a body couldn't even cope with getting the womb lining thickness right for transfer so that was delayed by 2 weeks (THE LONGEST 2 weeks ever....you think TWW is long???!!) so Pom juice for me every day til then 🤔🤢what else can we throw at it?!!! But thank you @SmileyT @3andout @blodyn91

@Lettie365 a smush 😂🤣brilliant

Our DS started out just like DH. Like TOTALLY. Everyone just went oh that's " mini C, nothing like you" but since then his hair has gone from dark brown to blonde & he's grown into a more delicate version so yeah now ppl go "oh yeah he's a tall version of you!" So a total in between now. Also I looked exactly like him when younger.is it therefore wrong I've said "yeah but if we have DG then she'll be gorgeous?!".

@Newbie0818 look at that face 😍🥰and how the pain subsides

Let's see if I can find me ....maybe tomorrow ladies xxxx

SmileyT · 24/07/2020 06:11

@2alreadywantanother I've never had ovulation spotting but seen a few ladies have it, strange that your opks are stark white but you might get a surge that starts today or over the weekend 🙌🏾 how often are you testing? x

@Juno231 😂😂😂 sauntered off, tube cleaners have probably had much less to contend with since lockdown 🤣

@Catherinettc hey yeah definitely call the Drs, didn't you get a blood test from A&E last time to confirm? Maybe you've got a higher baseline of hcg in your system, I read that you can have up to 6 so if testing with really sensitive tests they can come up with a faint line even when not pregnant 🤔 so if you can get a blood test you can also see what your level is, you are a mystery right now x

@Mococo1 why 4 more tests!? You'll get your 3+ middle of next week I reckon, or are you planning on testing daily with them? Xx

@Newbie0818 that red eye in your picture 😂 such a cutie 🥰🥰🥰

@Minster2012 hope you made up with DH and definitely not terrible to think that about your DD being gorgeous ❤️ are you all prepared for DSs birthday party? xx

BPT2019 · 24/07/2020 06:41

Hi ladies, I need a rant I got a positive on Sunday and then v faint lines with a possible BFN Monday and Tuesday.
Wednesday I got a positive so yesterday I tested three times and got a positive and two faint positives and then this morning I've got the faintest line ever (possibly even a BFN and I've got line eyes)
No period, no spotting and just abit of weird jelly type discharge (with a tiny bit of blood in it) on Wednesday.
I know if I was pregnant it wouldn't be good news as there would have to be line progression and there hasn't been so I just needed to rant about what's going on 😒
Good luck to everyone on their TTC journeys 😊

Franklydear · 24/07/2020 06:59

Morning, claiming the first post for once, been up really late, couldn't sleep and woke up really early, couldn't get back to sleep so made coffee, what a pointless post?
@Minster hope you manage to make up with DH, bloody men indeed, we had a bit of a dip too but coming out now, it's just too many pressure at the same time....
