Feb Bus Pt 3

[Juno231]

@MimiArm
@paintfairy
@MrsTwentyEight

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

Haha @paintfairy wasn't it you who had a naked tree for ages cause you couldn't be bothered to dress it 😁. I hear you on the anger and here's to hoping that finally ran the right blood test!

I'm CD14 and haven't ovulated yet. Should be soon though! I'm absolutely dreading work on Monday, I think it's a big part of my anger.

Weighed in yesterday at 75kg 😅. Plan is to drop to 68kg by April 17th and then take it from there as I'd love to lose another 5-8 kg after that. Poor OH - when I met him I used to weigh 56 kg 🤣

@Juno231 erm yes? 🤣 And I knew by the time it was sorted we'd have to take it down again. And that annoyed me. 😆
I swear to god if they haven't done the right blood test this time, I'm giving up. I saw the screen though and its there as requested. All they had to do was click that button and it printed the label? So how it was done wrong I've no idea. If I hear nothing I'll call wed and ask for the results.

Work for me isn't stressful as I'm still working from home. Seems easier not worrying about clothes and traffic and rushing. No idea how I'll ever go back to normal life!

I don't do kg but I'm around 11 stone 2. So probably not that different? I need to lose some but I've no motivation at all. I was under 10 stone when I got married!

I'm CD9 here ladies...not thinking but thinking about TTC. People keep telling me
I would have cute babies which is all sweet but it's adding to my stress that people are a) expecting cuteness and b ) expecting full stop 😂

Ahh @Juno231 I was 77kg at my best few months ago and pretty sure I'm 80/81 now 😩 Need to get back to 77 and then further down. I was 66kg when I met DH hahaha story of all our lives eh.

TTC and diet/ exercise bothered me. But I have stopped caring now. Plan is to workout hard + intermittent fast. Being healthy first is always going to be helpful anyway right 🙃

Ah I don't OV for another 2 weeks probably. FW starting in a week maybe ? DTD yesterday so starting 2021 off right 😉

Good luck to you all!

PS: don't start me on work. It's manic in the hospital and I wish I could WFH 😫

@MrsTwentyEight haha we dtd'd yesterday too and OH was strutting around for ages saying how he had a 100% sex rate this year 😅.

He's actually managed to BD 3 times this week, with a 4th planned for tomorrow so he's been good 🙌

@paintfairy and yes about the label! That's what I've been thinking all along - how can you mess that up? The nurse doesn't need to have a clue what the bloods are even for, just click a button!

@Juno231 the request from November was still showing as pending. So fuck knows what the nurse did when i went then? But that's the one she pressed this time.

@MrsTwentyEight jeez you have long cycles?

And I've eaten crap all this last week. But i was good before that. Given up now. 🤣

Haha hope this is the month for you @Juno231 !!

@paintfairy it's normally around 33 days but last month weirdly it became 37 days. I also am now doubtful if my LP is 14 days ...maybe it's 11 and hence I'm missing the date completely ? As we do have our dry spell soon after I think I've OV-ed. Will try to BD until AF shows this time and see how that one goes 🤭

Hi girls! Got my peak today at CD16 so will jump OH tonight and pray for a temp rise tomorrow so that I don't have to arm wrestle him into any more sessions lol.

Doing my minimum 10k steps a day and logging all my food on myfitnesspal. Also doing dry jan :) Hoping to have lost 2kg by the end of this month!

I'm eating more than ever and wallowing in my own self pity because of dark nights, crap weather and lockdown. 🤣 I actually was doing ok eating wise until last week. I'm just finishing off the Christmas crap we have in the house!

CD 7 for me. So heading towards FW window.

Got a fever ladies
Had Covid test done yesterday
Think this months cycle will be a write off as the fever is bound to make it go haywire 😭

@MrsTwentyEight ah for goodness sake :( I'm sorry! I wouldn't write off the cycle though, just hope you recover before FW.

@paintfairy fingers crossed you get your results today. You know what's frustrating? I think once you get your fertility appointment they make you redo the tests lol!

Oops forgot to say I'm 1DPO now. OH wouldn't BD last night though but I scored on O-1, O-3, O-5 so am covered!

Had another row though as he's still providing no support whatsoever despite me asking for it since like April last year for goodness sake. Hard not to feel resentful!

@MrsTwentyEight oh no. I hope you feel better soon!

@Juno231 yeah I know! Fucking idiots. I can't see it happening to be honest. Not with their idiocy, covid and all other delays. I'm beginning to accept it may not happen for us.

Support with ttc? Or just generally?

@paintfairy yeah I'm fully expecting my Feb appointment to be postponed/cancelled. Support with TTC - showing ANY kind of interest. I get that he naturally isn't inclined to do so but seeing as I've told him how lonely this feels and that AF each month upsets me, you'd think he'd do SOMETHING. I even sent him that reddit post of concrete things he could be doing in case he just didn't know how to proceed and instead he's still pretending as if we're not even TTC. Infuriating to be communicating something to him and still it being ignored.

@paintfairy I think I'm extra cheesed off about it atm because of his unwillingness to BD yesterday. The way he phrased to get out of it was basically "how important is it that we do it today" and it made me furious that he had no idea I was ovulating cause he won't speak to me about it at all. Remember when I sent him that screenshot of my FW back in like Sep and when it was time for FW he still didn't know because he'd just deleted the screenshot thinking I was joking. Wtf?

@Juno231 I think that's men. Mine won't remember I'm doing anything. He's got no idea. When we used to BD before ttc we would not use contraception in the non FW and odd times we took a risk - I would be like- erm, shouldn't we be using something? And he honestly had no idea. Yet he definitely didn't want kids at that point.
I tend to not even announce I'm ovulating now. Just initiate BD. But then that's not hard here. 🤣 I only have to lie so he can see my arse and we are on. 🤣 When we were doing it a lot before though and it was more forced he got a bit fed up with it, although he did mostly cooperate. We just had a couple of incidents where he got mardy and said he couldn't perform on command. Which i suppose I get. And luckily we don't really have issues like some people do with him struggling etc.
I honestly think he'd not be bothered if we didn't end up having a baby though?

Update: just rang GP. Finally correct test done. Normal. Referral done Monday. 🥳

@paintfairy brilliant! finally :) hopefully your wait won't be bad and they'll expedite you based on age.

@Juno231 I'm expecting nothing to happen because of covid. But we shall see. 🙄

So ladies I've got Covid :(
I'm going to write this month off
Unless I recover by next week
Currently can barely stand let alone think of TTC
Good luck to you both
Will check in with you once I've hopefully recovered x

@MrsTwentyEight oh no! Where from, do you know? I hope you feel better soon x

@MrsTwentyEight Aw no, hope you feel better soon - chin up x

@paintfairy Woo hoo, finally a correct test and good result. Fingers crossed your wait won't be too long.

@Juno231 Hope you and DH have made up. Men can be such twats!

@MrsTwentyEight noo! Hope you get it very mildly and recover swiftly xx

@MimiArm how are you feeling? Do you have a midwife appointment set up?

@Juno231 I'm feeling ok thanks. My lower back has been quite sore this past three days. Other than that, just have sore boobs still, oh and the shits (🙈 - no such thing as tmi on here lol). I have an early scan tomorrow night with the private consultant who put me on Clomid. Still waiting to receive the letter re the midwife appointment at the hospital. Hoping to receive it soon :-)

@MimiArm oh best of luck on the scan today! I'm still so glad you didn't have to fork out all that money on IVF but also still cheesed off that they were trying to force you down the IVF route when all you needed was clomid... and you're right, there's no such thing as TMI here, I didn't even bat an eye!

3DPO and ovulation has been confirmed :)

@Juno231 agree with you there. It worked out for the best but talk about them trying overkill. I hope your scan goes well @MimiArm
