@MichT4 haha how did you know!? Going to put them all into resin and make tiles from them. On the window will be display boxes with my peepots. Tbh it would probably be easier to knock the house down and start again😂 xx

@MichT4 yay to hair!! What are you doing to it xx

OP posts:
MrsK21 · 29/07/2020 11:05

@VP91x oh my goodness, I remember my parents house in the 80s had tiles with bananas on them! I felt like that too, easier to knock it down and start again but you'll get there in the end.
Peepots on the mantlepiece will defo be trend that catches on in the TTC community at least.

@MichT4 oooh banana bread and new hair sounds lush! I really want to get my hair done too, it's uncoloured at the moment and really needs some life breathed into it.
Work is the same for me too, feels like we are going through the motions but grateful to have a job in this climate! Hoping to log off early so finally get my nails done later this evening. Feel like some weekly treats are in order till my AF makes an appearance.
Its frustrating that your cycles were settling and shortening and then MCs happened. Hopefully it settles quickly, your body seems to at least be trying to ovulate, it will get there eventually.

Sometimes I think I should throw all the tracking out of the window and just focus on DTD, forget that needs to happen too sometimes lol

Pugprincess · 29/07/2020 11:25

Morning everyone 🙂
@MrsK21 yes they should be able to see because on my mc scan the notes say about my left ovary and some technical terms and enlarged so I asked doctor and she said that just means that’s the ovary you released the egg from for the pregnancy. That was like 6 weeks after ovulation so must stay visible for awhile. Funnily the ovulation pains were in my right side this cycle so I bet my ovaries took turns this time lol.
@Runnergirl1 and everyone I did a preg test this morn and defo stark white now. My cheap opk had a second line but not that strong so I think I’m in the tww wait but we will do every other day for a bit. A bit wary though because if I get preg again I don’t want to risk anything by dtd even though it’s meant to be safe I don’t want to take any chances. X

MichT4 · 29/07/2020 11:41

@VP91x sounds on trend to me. It's all I'm seeing at the moment so might as well make a feature out of it 😂

I'm having it cut and coloured. I've done my roots a couple of times in lockdown because I have stupid greys and they appear at the worst spots, like right at the front of my head 👵🏽, but the rest of the colour has faded right out. I wanted to go more ashy on the lighter parts, but I think because I have been darker, it'll take more than one appointment. I'm terrible - I want something but don't want to spend the money getting it done. I want a quick, cheap fix! I'm hoping I don't have to wear a mask the whole time.

@MrsK21 I'm sure it will too. I'll be kind to it, it's been through a fair bit. I'd probably have worried about egg quality if I'd ovulated really soon so my poor body really can't win 😂
To be honest that's what I'm mainly trying this month, just keep DTD anyway, then if it happens I know at least I haven't missed it. It hasn't become a chore yet for us so it's no big deal to do that. But I like to track things so I know what's happening, or at least that's the intention.

Weekly treats sound good! I always want to get my nails done, but I'm rubbish at keeping them nice. I go and train and they are all chipped 🙄

Xx

Runnergirl1 · 29/07/2020 12:20

Thank you ladies

@Pugprincess that’s good news for you going forward and hasn’t really taken to long for you. Today is the first day of no red blood just abit of brown which is how all my periods end so maybe I’m nearly done. Not booked in for another scan until next Friday so I might ring them and see if I can get in the week or earlier next. Just don’t want to be hanging around. Fingers crossed you catch this month x

VP91x · 29/07/2020 12:44

Ah, sorry ladies I'm about to bring the mood right down. We just found Coco dead (our girl rabbit). She was absolutely fine maybe 30 mins before when I was putting out some washing and my partner got back and he just shouted for me to come out 😭😭😭

I have no idea what might have happened 😫 xx

OP posts:
MichT4 · 29/07/2020 12:46

@VP91x nooo!!!! That's such sad news. What could possibly have happened to her? I'm so sorry lovely xx

Runnergirl1 · 29/07/2020 12:47

@VP91x so sorry to hear that. Poor thing x

VP91x · 29/07/2020 12:51

@MichT4 I have no idea 😭 Milo has a check up tomorrow so they said they could check her too if we wanted but most likely they wouldn't find anything from an external check. I can only think of a heart attack with it being so sudden? I feel so sad for Milo being alone too.

Also Bella checks on them constantly 😢 xx

OP posts:
MrsK21 · 29/07/2020 12:51

Oh noooo! Was she attacked by a fox or something? A friend of mine had a rabbit which also suddenly died recently, vet thought it was a brain condition. So sorry to hear this, Bella will be devastated I'm sure :( xxx

2020wish · 29/07/2020 12:59

@Rebecca1992 next Thursday

@MrsK21 that’s what I did last month. Stopped temping and obsessively peeing on opks I found the reduced stressed really helped me

@VP91x oh no!!! Wasn’t she only young? I’m so sorry :(

MichT4 · 29/07/2020 13:14

@VP91x oh no 😢
Did Milo already have a check up booked in? Or have you done it because of Coco?
Maybe Milo will need a new friend now, not meaning to sound insensitive, but sometimes they say that's the right thing to do?
Poor Bella xx

VP91x · 29/07/2020 13:20

@MrsK21 no she was absolutely fine all morning, they'd had a snack as well. God knows what happened, so sad. I wonder if maybe it was the same thing as your friends rabbit xx

@MichT4 yeah, we will probably have to get him a little friend. They had a check up booked anyway for their 8 week health check and vaccination.

@2020wish yeah, only 8 weeks almost xx

OP posts:
Rebecca1992 · 29/07/2020 14:47

@2020wish Great, I hope it fits by for you! How are you feeling?

@VP91x So sorry to hear about Coco ❤

MrsK21 · 29/07/2020 14:50

@VP91x my friends was doing this funny head shake thing on his hind legs from when they got him. Looked like he'd be having a little fit and then suddenly found him not moving one morning. Have you told Bella yet? It'll be a tough day for her I'm sure 😞

@2020wish that's amazing it reduced your stress levels like that. I'm hoping once I've got a handle on my ovulation and cycle when it returns, I can similarly be zen like about it all (pipe dream for now!)

@Pugprincess oh that's good to know they could still see where you'd ovulated from. I'll have to remember all these questions to ask tomorrow so writing myself a little list xx

chloedancer897 · 29/07/2020 14:59

Hi everyone, sorry I've been so quiet. I'm trying to not obsess so much this month but I do come on every day to see how everyone is. Got my static smiley today so I might be a bit quiet on here for the next bit. I'm not going to obsess over symptoms like I did before, it had me convinced I was pregnant. Hope everyone is well and I'm thinking of you all xo

Northernsoul90 · 29/07/2020 15:09

Yay for static @chloedancer897 😊 xx

@VP91x So sorry about Coco that's really sad news 😣 xx

Tink20058 · 29/07/2020 15:18

@VP91x it sounds silly but are you definitely sure it’s dead I remember ours used to play dead all the time when something spooked it xx

MichT4 · 29/07/2020 15:31

@chloedancer897 yay! Glad you've got your static! A busy few days for you.

@VP91x I hope you're ok 😘

I'm sat in the hairdressers, feels nice to be getting something done. I just sneezed and the place went quiet 😳

Xx

VP91x · 29/07/2020 15:38

@MrsK21 that's so sad, I feel like maybe something like that happened!? No she's at nursery but will tell her when she's back. She always goes to say hi to them first.

@chloedancer897 I'm glad you got your static 🥰 I've got my fingers crossed for you xx

@Tink20058 yeah, it was super stiff and its been in a little box since etc. It went a bit softer after a while, but yeah sadly definitely passed. That must have been scary if it done that! Xx

@Northernsoul90 thank you ❤️how are you xx

@MichT4 god 😂😂 can imagine. Bet you'll look fab after 💇💁xx

OP posts:
Tink20058 · 29/07/2020 15:46

@VP91x I didn’t realise you put the message on a couple of hours ago ours only did it for a couple of minutes if that, hope you find a little friend for some company for the other one xx

MichT4 · 29/07/2020 15:46

@VP91x fab enough to entice an egg to pop hopefully 😂. I mean, I have no idea how that would scientifically work, but it would be great if it could 😂🤞🏼 xx

VP91x · 29/07/2020 15:58

@MichT4 haha well endorphins are happy hormones... Happy hormones happy egg?.. pop

Do I pick up my PHD now? 😂 Xx

Yes @VP91x, you have graduated with first class honours 👩🏽‍🎓 xx
