xoJellyBean · 13/08/2021 22:16

@Skl2021 one of my apps says 4po which is annoying 🤣🤯 I've got super sore nipples so I'm glad progesterone is doing its thing🤞🏻 hope the next week flies for you as well! Xx

Skl2021 · 13/08/2021 22:18

@xoJellyBean when is your period due? Ooo hopefully that's a positive symptom 🙊🤞 xx

xoJellyBean · 13/08/2021 22:28

@Skl2021 a week today roughly😱 not sure how I feel🤣 what about you? I'm away all weekend so that'll be a good distraction. Have you got any plans xx

Skl2021 · 13/08/2021 22:43

@xoJellyBean yes counting down the days not long for you now 🤞 nope I'm working wish I was away could do with the distraction 🙈🤦 xx

xoJellyBean · 14/08/2021 19:31

@Skl2021 aw no way! What's your job? ☺️ I've just stuffed my face all day today! My boobs are sore but that's normal for me around af... xx

Skl2021 · 15/08/2021 09:56

@xoJellyBean I'm a sahm 🙊 don't know if I should admit that as people normally get flamed 🤦🤣 I have a little cafe job I do at weekends just to keep me sane 🙈 what about you? How u feeling today? X

Suki2020 · 15/08/2021 11:32

Hi girls, sorry I’ve not been on here much lately been having a tough time. My thyroid has been all over the place. It was 0.3 6weeks ago and my blood test last week it’s gone back up to 15.9 so back on a stronger dose again. How is everyone doing?

Skl2021 · 15/08/2021 12:02

@Suki2020 what symptoms did u have to get thyroid checked? And does it play a big part in fertility? I'm thinking of going to the doctors to get hormones and things checked I'm sure there's something not quite right xx

xoJellyBean · 15/08/2021 13:02

@Skl2021 not me trying to figure out what sahm means 🤣 fair enough, that is also my plan :) we want two kids and I'll hopefully stay with them until maybe end of primary school 🤞🏻 my mum did it for us! I work for the NHS so it's very busy right now but I'm glad for it at the same time. Feeling ok today, I got up as usual this morning and ended up back in bed until 12.30 😳🤣 so tired! How are you today? Xx

@Suki2020 hey there. Sorry about your thyroid 😔 do they know what causes this?? How's the medication for it? You really are having a tough time. What CD are you now? Hugs x

Justanothercyster · 15/08/2021 14:41

@Skl2021 I was also trying to work out what sahm means but then I thought, stay at home mum? Don't worry! That's a nice thing to be able to do for your kids!

@Suki2020 sorry you've been round the houses with your thyroid again :( hope the new dose helps x

@xoJellyBean everything crossed 🤞🏼🤞🏼

xoJellyBean · 15/08/2021 15:31

@Justanothercyster positive vibes this month ✨ how are you doing?

Skl2021 · 15/08/2021 15:46

@xoJellyBean what do you do in the NHS? Yes it's lovely to be able to stay home but sometimes it does drive me mad 🙊🤦 oohh how are you not testing yet your so close 🤞 I'm also tired but that's nothing new I'm always tired 🤦 my week is dragging I want to test already 🙄👀
@Justanothercyster yes it was cheaper for me to stay off and watch the kids than pay for childcare so that's what I did! I do have a little job on the side just to keep me sane 🤣 IV seen posts on Mumsnet slating stay at home mum's how were lazy etc etc but I think it's one of the hardest jobs! Work is so much easier 🙊 xx

xoJellyBean · 15/08/2021 16:53

@Skl2021 its hard to describe but I work in Governance! I really enjoy it but thankful that I have the option for part time/term time when kids come along 🤞🏻🙃 I've got a delivery coming tomorrow 🤣 2 x frers and also cheapies. I haven't tested in so long because I got sick of the disappointment! Not sure what I'll do this month lol when are you testing? Xx

Skl2021 · 15/08/2021 18:38

@xoJellyBean that is good that u have that option! Hard to find work to fit around children! Surely u need to test if youR stocking up on tests 🙊 if there in the house then I can't control myself! I'm sure I will cave around 8dpo don't know why cos IV never had a positive test show before 12dpo 🤦🙄 I just have an addiction! X

xoJellyBean · 15/08/2021 21:30

I'm not super confident in my chart this month 🙃 my temps don't rise enough!

@Skl2021 how many kids have you got & when did you get your bfp before? ☺️ always interesting to hear other experiences xx

Skl2021 · 15/08/2021 21:34

@xoJellyBean how much is it meant to go up? I don't have a clue about temping and charts so I'm no good 🙈🤣 I have 2! My first I didn't get my bfp until about 17dpo! It was forever! I was convinced it was over! My 2nd I got my bfp at 12 dpo but it was really light and not convincing 🙈 x

Justanothercyster · 16/08/2021 09:40

@xoJellyBean positive vibes are the best vibes ☺️ don't worry so much about the chart, mine was all over the place with my bfp.
I'm ok thanks, enjoying the sunshine and being at home after camping holiday from hell!

@Skl2021 mentally and physically it's not easier haha! People don't realise. Although saying that I think I would prefer it to teaching as that is exhausting. Or maybe part time. Childcare is ridiculous! I'm wandering what the hell we're going to do.

Skl2021 · 16/08/2021 09:45

@Justanothercyster what age do you teach? Are you ttc your 1st? Yes childcare is extremely expensive especially if you have no family to help out xx

xoJellyBean · 16/08/2021 11:09

@Skl2021 awww lovely. How many would you like? I would like either two or four. 🥰 bbt charting is just another thing to obsess over🤣 it's useful though! Xx

@Justanothercyster lucky you getting sunshine, we have had rain for the last month 🤣 nightmare! How many weeks are you now? Not good about your camping holiday 🙈🙈 hope you've recovered! Xx

Skl2021 · 16/08/2021 11:30

@xoJellyBean I always wanted four but think I will stop at 3. But u never know things could change down the line. Never say never 🙈🤣 have your tests arrived yet? 😬 I'm itching to test 🤦 do you track you resting heart rate aswell? Read a thread on that before didn't even know it was a thing! X

xoJellyBean · 16/08/2021 11:40

@Skl2021 would love a wee squad 🤣 I'm not sure yet, in the office today! Was just at the dentist and she wanted to do an X-ray of my wisdom teeth, she asked if I was pregnant🥲 wish I could say yes lol what dpo are you now? I always lose count 🙃 I actually started tracking my RHR this month 🤣 just to see but I can't see a difference. Do you track yours?? Xx

Justanothercyster · 16/08/2021 11:56

@Skl2021 I teach secondary English :) I'm still on here as I like to follow up with people's journeys but I'm actually 28 weeks pregnant with my first. I have pcos and dh had issues with his sperm but it took us 18 months before our lucky bfp, we were about to go through with ivf so very thankful.
No family around us either, so difficult isn't it.

@xoJellyBean oh god it's a bloody nightmare, I think everything that could have gone wrong on that camping holiday did, including a £600 vet bill because our dog got into someone's tent and ate paracetamol, had to get his stomach pumped and stay overnight on a drip 😖 he's ok now thankfully 🙏🏻 it rained CONSTANTLY too so I'm glad for some sun haha.
I'm 28 weeks now x

Justanothercyster · 16/08/2021 11:59

I've made the next thread as we're quite close to the end of this one (bloody numbered it wrong though didn't I, should say #4 but nevermind!), feel free to scoot over when this one is full :)

Skl2021 · 16/08/2021 12:16

@xoJellyBean do u know if your going to test yet? I'm 5 dpo so a few days yet before I can start testing 🙈 no I don't track that either I didn't even know if was a thing!! But I read a thread on here where her rhr kept going higher during tww and she was actually pregnant so it must be a thing 🤣🙊 x
@Justanothercyster wow I could not teach secondary some of the kids attitudes these days are terrible 🙈 hats off to you! And congratulations that is lovely news 🎉💐 do you know what you are having? I hear alot of people falling pregnant just before they start getting help. Crazy how our bodies work it's like they know! X
