@Newbie0818 it's so shit hun! You started investigations yet? Forgive me for not remembering.
@clolo ohh I see! Was it obvious to the eye? I've heard it looks like worms. I've been looking at Dh's and can't tell if I see any or not lol! Did the gp diagnose him? Yeah lots hope they can operate and do another SA, I'm sure his count will shoot up! Ah it's rubbish when you have no idea, and think you're doing the right thing. We started after a month after our wedding as I was 33 and really wanted a baby at 34...looks like I won't get one until I'm 35 now. Hopefully anyway!!

@Skip86 cool maybe try the slightly longer game then (& just hope you get BFP anyway & he realises it was meant to be!)

@Newbie0818 chicken gosh!

I've eaten crickets and tried locusts and of course we regularly eat venison, roe deer/ buck, pheasant, partridge grouse Cos that's what gets shot by us. I adore sushi ' was gutted that I went to japan with a very plain eater who hates fish & doesn't really eat steak either so me loving some wagu beef & wanting to find some really good sushi & sashimi restaurants went down like a tonne of bricks 😡😝😩

@minster2012 I'm a weirdo with food. No pasta, rice or noodles. No currys. Ever thing plain no ketchup or that. No tea, no jam, no cheese but will wat pizza lol if we eat out its normally steak or chicken goujons with chips no salad / garnish / onions or that. I love mashed potatoes but only eat my own. Not creamed or that 🙈🙈 so Brazil nuts and omelette is proper exciting for me 🤣

@2alreadywantanother omg what do you eat😨

@Minster2012 we are actually in a really low risk area but as a whole wales is being locked down so it's going to be shit. So rubbish isn't it '😩

@lucyrp plain meat potatoes and bisto gravy. No veg or stuffing etc.
At a push apples and bananas, tried strawberries for the 1st time about 2yrs ago. Had my Adenoids out at 11 and my tastebuds did a complete 360. So u smell everything b4 eating. I mashed a tiny bit of broccoli and a baby carrot into my mash 1 day and had heart palpitations for 3hrs. I think its like a sensory thing. But I give my kids plenty of veg and fruit. My daughter needs an adult plate there bes that much veg on hers. Hes not a fan but eats it. So its certainly not a case of monkey see monkey do lol

@2alreadywantanother omg that sounds awful, at least you can't put on any weight if you don't really like food 🤣🙈

@lucyrp only wish that was the case. I might not eat much but I eat carbs. So find it so hard to lose or keep weight off

@2alreadywantanother no pasta or rice or noodles?? Blown my mind. No cheese?? What??

@2alreadywantanother no cheese is sin though, it’s in the bible

🤣🤣🤣 DH and DS both love cheese. They all love rice pasta and noodles too. I'll do a Curry for tea now, I'm having boiled ham fillet and chips 🙈

@Minster2012 @AmesK that actually wasn't me but definitely sounds like something I would do😂

So I've had a really rubbish and emotional day, I don't know what's wrong with me, another girl I know has given birth today and I keep constantly thinking "wow that feeling must be amazing" I just can't ever imagine having that positive test!! And I keep googling shit, so OH has gone to the shop and got me some biscuits to dunk in my brew later and some chocolate to cheer me up! Feel like I have af pains too, tried to have a feel to see what my cervix is doing, it's very high like can only just about touch it with my middle finger, so not sure what that means, but I just have the feeling I'm out this month! Sorry to be an absolute miserable cow but that's my rant over and I'm going to cheer myself up with a good film and biscuits!!

@2alreadywantanother how did you cope in pregnancy ? Did you still like the only foods you actually like ? But you can't eat that much carbs as no pasta noodles etc. I couldn't live without pasta 😨 especially not cheese 😍

Completely missed the bus! Ooops! I've been in a TTC funk/lots of family stuff happening but I've found you!

@juno231 I'll be testing on the 1st if I ovulate soon and my cycle sticks to the same as last month

Now, to go catch up!

@lucyrp which part of Wales are you? I'm I'm Merthyr which is currently the 2nd highest number of cases in Wales 😩 non eof our friends or family live in the county either so weve not seen anyone for weeks and weeks. I don't know what the full lockdown will look like... I'm nervous about it too. Thankfully my job isn't at risk but I do work for the NHS so I worry in general about what my job will look like if cased continue to rise at this rate. Its such a scary & stressful time. Sending big hugs to you wherever you are in Wales. Xx

@2alreadywantanother gosh I feel for you having such aversions for certain yummy foods but still prepare them. That must be tough, well done!
@Vil10 sorry you're having a shit day my love, I'm glad your lovely OH is treating you right and cheering you up!

@lucyrp no no mad cravings. Wad actually hoping to crave salads lol salad rolls make me water at the mouth but I just cant eat them. I went off garlic bread on my 2nd pregnancy and couldn't eat for yrs. I went off it atvthe start of last pregnancy only for a few wks then was fine but them I had mmc. I've never had any real pregnancy symptoms either. No sickness or that. Mid day napping and that stopped a few days b4 I found out about mmc also. Dont know how I'll enjoy future pregnancies 😥

@Sausage1990 you're probably the closest lady on here to me! I'm not far from builth! So as of yet nothing has reallt changed but scared what the announcement will consist of tomorrow. Although saying that I regularly travel to cardiff to go shopping/ IKEA and I also take my car there to the garage to have work done and then I do come to merthyr rather a lot and haven't been able to do either of those for a couple of weeks now so been quite lost! I was hoping for just a local lockdown as thay would have been okay, no one allowed in but still Everutning carrying on but it looks like it will be back to a full lockdown by the end of the week😫 hugs to you too xx

@2alreadywantanother that's mad. So is it actually you not wanting to eat them or you want to eat stuff but your body just won't allow it ? I'm so confused right now you've blown my mind 🙈 I went through pregnancy only eating sausage rolls from the bakery I worked nexg to, runner beans with butter on and ready salted crisps 🤣

Lol no diet didn't really change during pregnancy

@Vil10 sorry you're not feeling so good today 😔 biscuits sound like a good way to cheer you up. I had AF type pains for a week before my AF was due and it felt like it was about to start at any minute, but never did. Don't lose hope yet 🥰

@Skip86 welcome back 🥰 I've been popping in and out, nice to see your name but so sorry to read why you're back. That must have been one of the most difficult decisions ever, sending you lots of love 💕 I hope you and OH manage to come to a plan together, must be so hard to navigate x

@lucyrp I'm with you, carbs and cheese is life 😂😂😂

@notyetamumbuttrying don't worry :) hubby getting his SA next week and hopefully they'll do some sort of investigations for me after...

@Minster2012 you're way more adventurous then me 😂 I have a shockingly sensitive gag reflex. (Cue BJ comments) 😛

@2alreadywantanother Youre worse than me! I only started eating proper foods when I met dh 10 years ago. Thank god!

@Vil10 rant away! I'm also feeling emotional tonight. It sucks doesn't it, I would just like to see a second line at some point :( it'll happen for us x

@adogisforlife91 omg congrats! Thank you for adding to our stats this Oct 😁. Remind me how long you'd been trying, what you tried this cycle etc?

@Skip86 I just read what you said about OH not wanting to try again right now and that sounds like a heartbreaking situation to be in. I'd be so upset and totally get the whole keen to move forward mindset. I hope you get your BFP anyway this cycle and that he comes round for next cycle if not!

@RecordPlayer I'm glad the girls gave you a warm welcome, you sound like you fit right in with us ❤️. Remind me of where you're at in your cycle now?

Sorry I've been quiet on here this weekend. Been busy (bought a sofa and a bed AND a mattress) and today I spent the day with my chronically ill friend who just came out of 2 weeks isolation and was feeling down. Did 22k steps wandering around regents park and primrose hill though which was lovely!

@Vil10 I'm feeling a bit down in the dumps this evening too as me and OH go back to work today after our 4 days off together and some lovely cramps have set in for me 😩 cup of tea and chocolate on the sofa for me this evening. Spent all day taking OHs nephew to hospital again for the second time in a week due to seizures. This time he cut his head open 😬x

@Juno231 who won sofagate? Is it velvet teal?

@notyetamumbuttrying he is great for that I can't knock him! He's a proper joker and wind up but if I'm upset he really tries his best to make me feel better! He's obviously invested in the TTC journey but he's never really asked when I'm ovulating or anything, was just prepping tomorrow's tea and he says "even though I hope we are, if we aren't lucky this time, when are you next ovulating" and even though it's nothing, it meant so much that he is genuinely taking notice and interest!

@KateColx I have heard people say this about af pains a few days before they were due and leading up to finding out they were pregnant! Hopefully that's the case for me! Thankyou🥰

@Newbie0818 maybe it's the Sunday evening feeling knowing we have work in the morning! It'll be our turn soon!!x

@lucyrp that Sunday evening feeling is horrible isn't it, same here with the cramps! Oh godd I hope he's okay?? What a shame!!x
