@BEESY90 I agree with the other ladies and though you may be normally quite a private person I think you should reach out to some close family or friends for support. I'm so sorry that you have all of this to contend with especially after the seizure! Xxx

scrambledeggy · 11/08/2020 17:25

Wow, trying to work in this heat has really taken it out of me, I am KNACKERED.

@BEESY90 Aaaargh, hope the pain gets better in the coming weeks- hopefully the thought of your pregnancy will be enough to keep you motivated as you say. I guess just talk when you're ready, and feel free to vent on here in the mean time Flowers

@Rb486 Oh I see it's specific to clearblue ovulation tests! Thank you, I've never used them so I wasn't sure, maybe I'll try next cycle if no BFP Smile

@chloedancer897 wishing you all the best on your TTC journey!

@MichT4 Itchy armpits doesn't sound so silly to me! I swear I had a swollen gland last time, right in my armpit, so painful. I am honoured to have promising boob soreness, really Grin

@Lollol86 Thank you for your kind thoughts re: painful boobs. My CM has basically dried up now, I got a clump of thick light yellow (??!) stuff this afternoon, I've given up trying to work out what the hell is going on!

@VP91x I'm testing on Thursday, though I am not hopeful because my body just seems to like teasing me Confused

Lollol86 · 11/08/2020 17:31

@scrambledeggy what is wrong with our bodies 😂😂

Firevie · 11/08/2020 17:59

@BEESY90 I’m really sorry to hear this hun! Agree with the other ladies to reach out to family or friends. You need to let it out - if not for your sake then for your little bean! Sending strong and positive vibes xxx

Firevie · 11/08/2020 18:01

Also ladies / just had my wax! OMG my body feels reborn! Legs, arms, armpits, eyebrows! Soft like babies skin! Now just relaxing at home with my parents and reading my book
Hope you’ve all had a good day and are having a relaxing evening
Also I have no symptoms but I’m clinging on to my BBT and trust my baby is on its way to me :) only three more sleeps xxx

VP91x · 11/08/2020 18:30

@MrsK21 haha yeah, I know it is going to tell me that I haven't but at least it is more concrete than my opks 😆.

I've never understood the hot drinks in hot weather thing either! I've been munching on ice and having multiple cold showers.

@Diorissimo1985 don't count yourself out just yet at 5dpo! I hope you can have a BFP by your birthday. I understand how you feel, getting to my due date was really tough I'm glad I've passed it. Annoying that OH will be away for most of next month though.

@Niisa oh wow you have been busy. Sorry to hear about the funerals, hope you are ok? Xx

@Beesy90 god, what a dick. Sorry, but I can't believe he has done this to you. Completely get about you being generally private but there is no shame in reaching out for support. You definitely need your support system, he's the one in the wrong not you! Let me know if I can help in any way. We are all here for you. Xx

@Firevie jealous that you are now a smooth seal! I need to get myself waxed soon. Definitely keep the faith xx

@MichT4 no pressure 👀💁

@VP91x thanks for new thread!

@BEESY90 sorry to hear about what your going through! What an idiot men!!

@Lynz2020 congratulations!

I'm coming to end of FW so will DTD tonight one last tome to make sure we are covered even if it is 90 degrees here at night at the minute 🥵

chloedancer897 · 11/08/2020 18:38

Just wanted to share btw that I had sore boobs, sharp pain on my R side and so much creamy/yellow discharge the last few days but now I'm getting blood streaked CM so I think AF is here. Not to put people off but I've learned that symptom spotting just isn't all it's cracked up to be and it's made me miserable so many times.

Lollol86 · 11/08/2020 18:40

@VP91x @Firevie I'm having my mini (not sure what everyone calls it) 😂😂 waxes on Saturday. I'm so excited. I love getting waxed I feel so much cleaner. Just need to get my eyebrows done now 😫😫

VP91x · 11/08/2020 18:47

@Lollol86 haha I call it minnie sometimes too but I've been teaching Bella to say vagina and my OH always gets annoyed 🙄

@Hayley19835 honestly being in Fw right now must be a nightmare. Well done on persevering 😂 xx

Hayley19835 · 11/08/2020 18:57

@VP91x I'm not sure how we have managed it to be honest! Needs must though 💦 😂 xx

Lollol86 · 11/08/2020 20:08

@VP91x I don't know why but I hate saying bag ins 😂😂 we've been brought up saying mini 😂

scrambledeggy · 11/08/2020 20:43

@chloedancer897 I can only speak, for myself but I post my symptoms here not because I see them as signs of pregnancy, but because my CM is about the most interesting thing happening in my terribly dull life at the moment Grin (can you tell I don't have kids?) Hope AF is kind to you, at least you know where you stand.

chloedancer897 · 11/08/2020 20:47

@scrambledeggy sorry I know that post sounded really negative. Absolutely jf it's not normal for you it's worth noting. And it's all that keeps us occupied in the TWW! Fingers crossed for you, I've stocked up on bath bombs for AF to treat myself

scrambledeggy · 11/08/2020 20:55

@chloedancer897 no need to apologise, you are just being realistic and speaking from your own experience! Ask me again when I'm several years into this TTC malarkey 😂 Ooh I haven't had a bath bomb in ages! Maybe I should treat myself....

A Q for all you who are lucky enough to have DC in your life, how long did they take to conceive?

chloedancer897 · 11/08/2020 20:59

@scrambledeggy stay positive. You don't want to be in my headspace! I honestly think my body is just teasing me. I saw this yellow CM from 11DPO and I never get that and it's so heavy now so I thought maybe it's something. Then of course the bleeding started. So I don't trust anything anymore!

My first baby was a happy little accident and DH and I were only together 5 weeks when I found out 😐😐 married now like so it all worked out! And my second, I came off the pill, didn't even have a period and got pregnant at the end of the month. And now of course I've been trying almost 3 years for number 3.

Lollol86 · 11/08/2020 21:02

@VP91x omg vagina what the hell have I wrote 🤣🤣

VP91x · 11/08/2020 21:03

Omg @chloedancer897 same situation with me and my OH 😂😂, but has all worked out like you said!

@Scrambledeggy my second which I miscarried was also unplanned, well we weren't using protection but hadn't discussed. So now feels even worse with it taking ages 🤷 xx

OP posts:
VP91x · 11/08/2020 21:04

@Lollol86 😂😂 maybe we can call it bagins!

OP posts:
chloedancer897 · 11/08/2020 21:06

@VP91x really? How funny! It could have gone one of two ways I suppose 😂😂

Northernsoul90 · 11/08/2020 21:06

@VP91x @Lollol86 😂 I did wonder about the bagins and then realised 🤣 we've always called it a tuppence or a fairy 🤦🏽‍♀️🙈😂

Northernsoul90 · 11/08/2020 21:07

@VP91x @Lollol86 when I say 'we' I mean as children - not me and DH 😂😂

VP91x · 11/08/2020 21:09

@chloedancer897 haha yeah, bloody terrifying at first but we were inseparable from when we met and it just happened. Here we are still, haha.

@Northernsoul90 ooh tuppence that's a new one, love fairy haha xx

OP posts:
Lollol86 · 11/08/2020 21:29

@Northernsoul90 @VP91x actually crying right now 🤣🤣

scrambledeggy · 11/08/2020 21:31

Aww @chloedancer897 no wonder all this is causing you such heartache! Glad everything has worked out with you and your clearly very kind and caring DH Smile

@VP91x Aw man, that seems so unfair. Hopefully it means that little brother or sister will be extra welcome when they finally do come along.

Thank you for sharing, has confirmed what I already know, TTC is a mystery 🤣
