Feb Bus Pt 3

Figured I'm not ready to let you ladies go ☺️

I'm watching one born every minute..
Why
Why
Why
Also @paintfairy wow!!

@MrsTwentyEight oh god. That's enough to put anyone off! I did go through a phase of it. When DH was out.

Haha yes @paintfairy makes you wonder why women go through this!! 😂

@MrsTwentyEight DH won't even watch it. And can't understand why anyone would want to. 🤣

@paintfairy @MrsTwentyEight ah I don't know if I've been lucky episode wise but whenever I've seen it they've made birth look pretty straight forward and at times almost easy lol? Like women that don't say a squeak whilst pushing or showing up at 9cm dilated cause contractions weren't too bad ha.

I got really cross one episode about the husband constantly lifting his wife's leg up to check what was going on (she was pushing on her side) and then kept scaring her by asking panicked questions like "is the baby meant to look like that? Is it meant to be that colour" omg step away from the vagina and SHUT UP!

@Juno231 the odd ones DH walked in on were mostly easy and I was always thinking- god, don't think it's like that. 🤣 But yeah I know what you mean! Some of the husbands are complete idiots! Moaning about needing dinner, sitting on phones and not helping or doing ridiculous things like that! Don't add the the chuffing stress ffs. Either help, or do one! 🤣
My DH is a stress head and has a habit of saying unhelpful things. But I reckon in that situation he wouldn't. I'm not sure he'd be helpful and I think he'd be terrified. But I think he'd be quietly terrified. 🤣

I did something I've never done
I got a personalised baby grow that's say "baby hubbys name "

😟

I'm praying I get to use it at some point if not this month 🙏🏾 but oh how I wish I can this month....

Symptom spotting wise - I have a low grade temperature 🤧

@MrsTwentyEight lol I bought a baby grow with "Baby Surname" back in March and am still waiting to use it 🤣. I'm not even sure I know where it is anymore! Hope you get to use yours soon xx

@MrsTwentyEight you have a low grade temp and my temp plummeted today! Hope you're not coming down with something!

Oooo temp dip is a good sign right ??

Ahh I hope so too. Though I'm sure I've got something going on as I've been sneezing non stop past few days!

Ahh I hope you get to use it !!

@Juno231 @MrsTwentyEight baby grows? You 2 are bonkers! 🤣

Couldn't get a reliable temp reading this morning. It was really high and I think it was lack of sleep. Yesterday it was low. And I'm spotting today so I'm guessing I have ovulated as that never happens before. I had a tiny speck of red blood yesterday at some point and today its brown. I'm exhausted. And stressed (not by that) so I'm doubting this is a useful month for us. We also really only dtd once that probably counted (Saturday). The time before that was like beginning of the week. But it was well timed I guess and doing it every day or every other day never exactly helped either. So? I'll try to later though, just to cover all bases.

@paintfairy definitely well time but I'm sorry you're knackered and stressed :(

I mentioned baby grows to OH yesterday and he doesn't know what they are 😅. What the hell.

@Juno231 really? Maybe you wouldn't? Wonder if my DH does? I might ask. 🤣

And this bloody dog. Me and my bright ideas. 🙄 Thank god its temporary. I am slightly stressed about the blood tests though and the fact I funny think they'll get them right.

@paintfairy totally understandable about the blood tests! I guess there's nothing you can do about it so no point worrying (easier said than done - and could be applied to all this ttc crap lol)

Tell us more about this dog! What breed, why is it a foster, why is it being hard work 😅

Tbh I didn't know they were called a baby grow until Mumsnet 🤭 I'm keeping it a secret so not asking DH haha

@paintfairy sorry you're feeling stressed :( you're the sane and rational one out of us! It's totally understandable though. No thanks to your ridiculous gp practice messing you about too!

Yes tell us more about the dog!

My head cold / viral infection isn't budging. And I keep googling implantation cold/flu FFS.

@Juno231 @MrsTwentyEight I asked DH if he knew what a babygrow was. He was like erm, like a baby onesie? 🤣 His brother is 9 years younger than him so he remembers from then i think! I've always known- i assume from having dolls as a kid!

The dog - its a Romanian rescue that came over direct to a home having been adopted. They decided they didn't want it (too big and scared of it. It is like a bear, I won't lie) so ejected it after a couple of days. The rescue lady luckily found someone to take it that day until she could collect it. But it still had nowhere to go. So here we are.....

My dog hates him. He's big, messy and non practical. But otherwise i think he's ok. We had an issue with him guarding me but my DH has had to do more with him and so I think we are ok now. He's slightly funny around food (he's skinny) so between that and keeping my dog away, its been fun. Thankfully he's pretty amenable.

In other news still no dtd and no temp. Didn't sleep. But I'm still spotting. 🙄 So maybe the b vits last month really did help? I've put my day 2 test back a day just to make sure I don't miss it, so theoretically it'll fall on day 3 if my calculations are correct.

@MrsTwentyEight how do you feel now?

@paintfairy wow sounds like that dog really needed you, you're doing a wonderful thing! OH is scared of dogs taller than to his knees so... BTW OH also has a sibling much younger than him (11 years I think) but that didn't help him understand the babygrows!

@MrsTwentyEight you're 5-6 dpo right?

@paintfairy feeling back to normal now thank you! So nice of you with the dogs, that's so impressive. Sucks about not being able to sleep though :(
@Juno231 I want to say about 8DPO but God knows this month 😩 I'm probably going to FRER it this weekend if AF doesn't show. I think she's due Sun/Mon! Same as you!

@Juno231 🤣 Maybe he paid no attention to his sibling? Yeah I feel like I've done a good deed. I'll be sad to see him go. But realistically he can't stay.
@MrsTwentyEight I often struggle to sleep in my LP. Not helped by the other stuff!

How is everyone doing?

Saw this post and thought of myself and you @MrsTwentyEight . Also realised we're dangerously close to being the Feb bus 2021 again 😅

@Juno231 🤣🤣🤣 so appropriate!
I'm shattered. But otherwise OK. 4dpo. Nothing to report.

How's everyone else?

@Juno231 hahaha oh my God!! That is hilarious 😂😂 I've written Xmas off now. I tested this eve with a FRER (ofc I bloody did) and whitest BFN...I'm prob 9/10DPO ...who even knows 😂

Oh my you're right ...one whole bloody year (-3 Covid months for me but they don't count)

We'll be having strangers joining us in Feb, thinking it's a current bus! 🤣

@paintfairy yes i was thinking that!! Probs in early Jan already tbh

@MrsTwentyEight yeah I've tested stark white on 10 and 11 DPO so I'm out! You've def got a realistic shot though, BFN at 9DPO means zilch!

@Juno231 see what you temp does tomorrow? But your chart was looking so promising!?
Agree @MrsTwentyEight it was probably too early anyway?
