@butterfly5291 we thought of doing that too! There's always an excuse for another dress haha. Mine is coming from Bracelona so I've not even tried it on.. But I fell in love and if I hate it when it comes I will be devastated! The plan was to go over there for my 30th which was in May and visit the shop then.. But alas, that didn't happen!

butterfly5291 · 05/09/2020 16:19

@Stabal wow...when is it coming so you can try it on? You should be able to go to Barcelona soon...such a beautiful city.

Stabal · 05/09/2020 16:27

@butterfly5291 ordered it about a week ago now so hopefully in the next 6 weeks. It doesn't have zips or fastenings or anything, made to order with my measurements sent. It's like a jersey material undercoat and then a lace overcoat and can be wrapped into different styles so fingers crossed it will be fine! I've always wanted to visit Bracelona so hopefully I will get there at some stage in the future!

Livvi2021 · 05/09/2020 16:47

Weddings! How exciting! Barcelona is such an amazing city. My DH proposed there in our 3rd anniversary 😁

@Stabal dress sounds lovely

butterfly5291 · 05/09/2020 23:12

@Stabal sound beautiful. What designer is it?

Well my lovely day of wedding prep has left me feeling really shitty. The photographer has sent the photos back and my face looks so fat...like I actually have two faces because of my double chins.
In order to lose weight I'd have to restrict myself to 1200 calories...how am i meant to do that and stay healthy and try for a baby....I don't even eat a lot as it is. what if I get pregnant before the wedding how fat will I look then? Everyone tells me that I look beautiful and I don't have a problem with how I look in real life really but I want to think I look beautiful in my wedding photos....and judging it off these photos I won't think that at all.

Stabal · 06/09/2020 11:13

Sorry all, took a much needed night off my phone. Drank one too many wines at my sisters and fully regret it at work this morning!

@Livvi2021 that's so cute! OH proposed to me on Christmas morning by buying a cute Christmas bow tie collar for our cat and he put the ring on it and woke me up bringing him into the bed haha

@butterfly5291 it's called Mimètik Bcn! I'm really sorry you feel that way about your photos. It's this reason I didn't even want a professional photographer at all but my OH convinced me I'd regret it. Please don't make yourself ill just to 'look good' in your photos. You will look stunning! Just remember it will be a lot different on the day. Your emotions will be heightened, you'll be so so happy and that will radiate through in the photos and in the end that's the memory you want to keep photographic evidence of, not having the slimmest possible face 💕

butterfly5291 · 06/09/2020 15:36

@Stabal how are you feeling now? You deserve the wine though!
I still feel really shitty, asked for another practice shoot and going to have some beauty treatments to help.
Had a huge temp drop this morning and just started spotting so think AF is here.
How's everyone else doing?

butterfly5291 · 06/09/2020 15:43

Is this a normal price for pre seed ? Seems very expensive!

TTC Baby no1. The crazy lot. Thread 2!!
mrsgtobe97 · 06/09/2020 15:50

All tests negative for me today, got one spare clear blue digital I'll pee on tomorrow morning then after that not buying anymore, spent wayyyyyy too much on FRER's! Xx

Stabal · 06/09/2020 16:17

@butterfly5291 have a banging headache but all self inflicted so can't complain haha. My bleeding is minimal today which is odd for me as I'm usually a 6 day period but no don't it'll be back tomorrow just as bad for another couple of days. I'm glad you're going to have another shoot. There's a lot you can do to make sure you feel your best on the day, if you're feeling good it will shine through! Mainly drinking lots of water and eating less salt to minimise bloat and water retention. I always thought when I lost the weight I'd feel like a new person but I didn't. I had the same hang ups as before, I could still look in the mirror and hate when I seen. We'll always find something and where we end up is never enough so don't be hard on yourself. Shitty news about the spotting too, I hope she hurries along so you can get right into the next cycle 🤞

butterfly5291 · 06/09/2020 16:52

@Stabal I know you're right, I'm being super hard on myself but I don't hate what I see in the mirror...just in photographs...it doesn't really look like me! Photographer just emailed back and said it will be £125 for another photoshoot...which I think is going to be worth it.
I'm counting today as CD1 it's a bit more than just spotting and combined with temp drop is definitely AF.
What do you think about pre seed? There are cheaper alternatives like first response one or the conceive plus. Is one better than another?

Crayon7 · 06/09/2020 17:13

@butterfly5291 unfortunately yes:/ preseed or such Things are expensive

Last week was on offer for £9 and i Bought extra bottle even though didn't work for me so far (2cycles):(

Stabal · 06/09/2020 18:21

@butterfly5291 I think that's an okay price for another shoot and hopefully it can give you peace of mind seeing some more! Let us know how it goes. I've never used preseed or anything so I honestly don't know whether I'd spend the money on it.. I don't really have a problem with ewcm and I definitely had lots of it last ovulation so I'm still on the fence about it at this stage but you can be sure it'll be something I buy in the future to try anyway 😂

Crayon7 · 06/09/2020 18:24

Hope you all okay and I keep fingers crossed 🤞🏻🤞🏻

I am taking few weeks away and step back from here as I find myself stressed out recently. Will read and 🤞🏻🤞🏻❤️

Stabal · 06/09/2020 21:31

@Crayon7 will keep you in my thoughts. Come back when you're ready 💕

LT103 · 06/09/2020 21:35

@Crayon7 hope you’re ok. Just take some time and focus on yourself and relaxing!

@butterfly5291 Sorry to hear about af. She’s ruining everyone’s month this week!!

butterfly5291 · 06/09/2020 21:55

@LT103 thanks...so hard not to be disappointed. How are you feeling today?
Do we need to start a new thread? Almost at 1000 again!

Livvi2021 · 06/09/2020 22:05

@Stabal aww what a cute way for him to propose that's so lovely! Hope your heads feeling better!

@butterfly5291 yeah that's about the same price we paid...worth it though, worked for me. Even if you've got lots of cm it's good as it is the right ph level for sperm and gives them a better chance.

@mrsgtobe97 sorry to hear ☹️ fingers crossed for your CB digital tomorrow.

@Crayon7 take care, good luck and speak soon x

CAG14 · 06/09/2020 22:10

@butterfly5291 I know how it feels to look at photos and focus on the negatives and feel like you look awful. If it gives you peace of mind then it is worth the £125. But I am sure you looked amazing and in a few years you will look back and love them

@crayon7 completely understand, take care of yourself

@stabal good for you on having a drunken evening! Nothing wrong in letting your hair down after the week you've had.

@mrsgtobe97 sorry about the BFN lovely :(

butterfly5291 · 06/09/2020 22:43

@Livvi2021 I'm just really annoyed I didn't buy bit last week when it was on offer for £9! I think it might be worth a shot though.

@CAG14 thank you...I am feeling better for having the cosmetic treatment booked and having a chat with the photographer again, it's a husband and wife duo and the wife called me today and was lovely. I don't know if it's my hormones but I feel like I've cried all day!

LT103 · 06/09/2020 23:18

@butterfly5291 yeah I’m fine thanks. I had a rubbish couple of days then I figured I just need to get on with it. Worried that I’m just wishi my life away month by month so I need to try and relax.
Hope you’re ok x

Jadeb1995 · 07/09/2020 06:34
