@Minster2012

I'm okay... this is my first ttc journey... I feel like It won't ever happen, because it hasn't so far, and that makes me really anxious. I'm trying not to overthink it this month and trying to DtD every 2-3 days but it's impossible not to think about it constantly ! Thanks for being so kind xxxx

Juno231 · 09/11/2020 09:55

@lucyrp I'd be fuming! Such a man thing to do as well

@Minster2012 love Xander! Makes me think of Buffy and gives me the fuzzy feels

CD14 and due another boink today - so bored of waiting for ovulation though (sorry for those that ovulate waaaay later, I don't mean to be ungrateful!) and just want this over and done with. Can you tell TTC is feeling a bit meh for me nowadays? Like what's the point, none of it works anyway.

@Franklydear 😂😂😂 nearly choked on my tea!! I like the sound of your mum 😊 I was honestly so confused by them, couldn't work out the purpose at all and never even thought of sex toy because, well... it's wood!! Splinters, the logistics of cleaning them after and the sheer size of them 😳 ruled them out 😂 how wrong I was! But they do say anything's a dildo if you are brave enough 🤣

@Skip86 I've never told anyone how it happened, still have a scar, irl the story is I slipped by the pool but I have no issues telling you guys what actually happened 🙈 I've gone from overly private to oversharer on here! It's like therapy!

lucyrp · 09/11/2020 10:09

@InkyPaper she's my closest friend so she's not that bad but that's why it's even worse because its her! I was so shocked! Don't even speak about it anymore. Thanks I'm sure he'll be fine but men get!

@Franklydear honestly could have strangled him😂

@Juno231 it so is isn't it ! 🙄

Gem176 · 09/11/2020 10:18

@lucyrp I'd be absolutely raging at that! DD gets a half day on a Friday, and with times my ex demands I have to take her straight from school to meet him. He's now taken to returning her to me on a Sunday in the unwashed uniform I drop her off in. He's done it twice now 🤬 She used to come back in clothes from his and I'd wash and return them with her next time. From now on I'm just going to put a return outfit in her bag 🙄 I don't get why they can't use their brains! They are their children! I wouldn't ever dress her in dirty clothes or allow her to go for an hours walk while soaked through, you'll be the same but they just don't seem to get it! He lets her stay up late and eat pure rubbish so she comes home knackered, grouchy and refusing proper food and it takes days to get her back into routine 😭 sorry for the rant!! Xx

Gem176 · 09/11/2020 10:26

@Dollybird89 no nausea or sickness here but we had a takeaway last night (I had a six hour round trip to collect dd so couldn't be bothered cooking 🙈), my absolute favourite food from my favourite takeaway and i couldn't even eat half, was more interested in the poppadoms then promptly fell asleep 😴 how many dpo are you? Did you manage to sleep and are you feeling today?

lucyrp · 09/11/2020 10:27

@Gem176 my DS dad doesn't even have him that much. Normally he has him every Wednesday straight after school for a couple of hours and he can't even feed him tea then. So by the time he comes home he's hungry and its already past bed time so he ends up going to bed late because I have to feed him, bath him and put him to bed all past bed time. He's never even stayed over night at his dads. Not that I mind as DS just seems to be a trophy to him. Oh the way to school this morning DS was telling me about who he'd been with yesterday and it sounds like about 5 different people 2 of who i definitely don't want DS around 🙄 also after coming home wet and cold when it got to bed time last night he was so hyper running around and all sorts so he'd definitely been fed lots of sweets. He also told me his dinner was "sausages and dinosaurs" god knows what else he had but I'm actually surprised he even fed him. No need I've clearly just ranted too!😂

Gem176 · 09/11/2020 11:11

@lucyrp dd goes every second weekend. I have had to threaten not to send her unless he ensures she has a shower at least once, brushes her teeth and feeds her something other than super noodles. I put a bag of shopping off with her so i know she's ok. My mum lives in the same town so keeps an eye but this weekend he said no to DD going to hers on Saturday night and DD says he had been drinking beer watching the football and had a sore head 😢 he got torn a new one for that! Told him any weekend his team are playing she won't be with him!

Minster2012 · 09/11/2020 11:26

Morning ladies, I have read through all the comments but DS being a bit feral so can't reply to everyone individually! But @Franklydear I have give to that spa last time for 3 days but he only had DS one actual day of those due to nursery one day & my parents the other but all evenings/meals too & ive been away due a weekend before...he just goes over to his mums where the dogs walk themselves on their land & they all get fed. 🙄so it's not exactly the same. Im still pissed off but he came onto the bed this morning to apologise. It's all the house stuff that annoys me. Like I've just sorted out claiming on our house insurance (which I also sort out of course in the first place) for his gun repair. It's saved him £1,000. I did all the emailing and photos etc. Should have not bothered.

Loving your wrong hole comment for the phallic Spanish "ornaments!"

@Skip86 oh lovely I would have cried too, and def don't leave! How does he know when you might be ovulating?

@Katao wooo for temping! A start!

@Juno231 BOINK!

Oooooo and I found the lamp this morning 🙌🏻in the toddlers oven. Of course 🤦🏼‍♀️

@minster2012 glad you found the lamp!!! Lol

Oh god I need a smack round the head or something this morning... I've woken up like a bear with a sore head after a restless night of sleep, every little thing is irritating me and I've got an incredibly painful armpit! First thing I noticed this morning when getting out of bed. Boobs feel a bit tender too.

I am only 6dpo (I think I ovd last Tuesday) so I know it's incredibly unlikely to be anything please tell me I'm being an idiot then I can relax 😂

Skip86 · 09/11/2020 11:41

@Gem176 your ex returning DD in her dirty school uniform?!! Wtf?! I'd lose my biscuit.
Why 6 hours to collect her? I'm intrigued..

@lucyrp srrriously they have no bloody idea sometimes 🙄

@Missgoldilocks oh don't worry I wanted to scoop those bad boys up and somehow slide them on in 😂 but he was right there and it may have looked a tad weird 😂😂
Didn't use a condom though so you never know.. pre cum gets people preggo right???

@Minster2012 ahaha the lamp!! 🙌🏼
I'm glad you got an apology, and I hope OH learns something from the whole situation and shows his appreciation a whole lot better in future.
My OH knew I was ov-ing because it told him (I'm not testing or anything, but I'm very regular day 14 of a 28 day cycle), because there's absolutely no way I would want to 'trick' him into knocking me up. Between you, me, and the lamppost though, if his pre-cum gets me preg I'd be fucking ecstatic and it'd serve him right!! 😜

Skip86 · 09/11/2020 12:10

Tonight I made one of my fave dinners (poke bowl w chicken and pickled vege and loads of other excellentness), but didn't have enough ingredients for the kids too, so I gave them porridge and sent them to bed before I ate. Winning 🤣

Minster2012 · 09/11/2020 12:31

@Kirky658 ha ha ha I'm also like a bear with a sore head today cos of the arguenent not a painful armpit, how random! That's symptom spotting on another level 😂😆def too early for that!

@Skip86 porridge is much healthier for children. That looks amazing- what's in it?? And I did think that about the pre cum, there's still a chance!! 🤞🏻pre cum def gets ppl preg! Except the rest of us of course 🤪

Gem176 · 09/11/2020 12:31

@Skip86 that looks lush!! We should swap kids dd would pick porridge, she's fussy as 😂
I was tempted to thumped him 🤬 6 hour round trip, it's not normally as bad but the combination of roadworks and huge numbers of behemoth motorhomes crawling around shitty country roads means little or no chance to overtake so you get stuck for MILES! This bumps my usual 2hr journey up to almost 3 hrs 😭
Ex doesn't drive so I have to do all the travelling! A child free weekend sounds great until I realised that those weekends I spend 12 hours driving 😏

Vil10 · 09/11/2020 12:50

@Gem176 they might just be more prominent this month so you're noticing more!

@Skip86 that looks unreal that bowl😍 hope you're situation is any better now🤞🏼

Also the chat about sex and period, me abs OH have sex usually on day 3/4 of a 5 day period, but I don't like being on top when I'm on in case it drips out😂 we put a towel down too! Also not sure who said it but my OH has gone down on me a few times when I've been on but just stays in the clit area, hats off to him because I don't think I'd be able to if he had period coming out of his japs eye

Kirky658 · 09/11/2020 12:50

@minster2012 I'm deffo being a lunatic and needed someone else to tell me so 😂 work is very quiet atm so I think I'm filling my time with mindless what ifs.. Last cycle I was dead good didn't symptom spot at all.

@skip86 omg that looks delicious!!! I am cooking homemade fish pie tonight, one of my Faves for a miserable misty day!

Juno231 · 09/11/2020 12:53

Random but decided to double check my TSH levels from day 3 bloods in July. They're at 3.1 which is within the NHS normal range so therefore "fine" per the GP but if you check anything online, including medical journals and fertility clinics - they all say that more than

Juno231 · 09/11/2020 12:55

@lucyrp what were your TSH levels btw as a lot of the symptoms I'm reading for hypothyroidism sound a bit like yours? It even says that people often assume it's PCOS at first - which I think we've said you sound like you could have but the docs said you don't - what if it's this instead?

OP posts:
lucyrp · 09/11/2020 13:00

@Gem176 DS father couldn't even cope with him over night he can't even feed him within a couple of hours so god help him. Oh no that sounds terrible 🥺

@Skip86 they're a nightmare! Also your dinner looks amazing 😍😍

lucyrp · 09/11/2020 13:03

@Juno231 umm I don't know they didn't actually tell me the levels or if they did I didn't make a note of them. If I ring and ask the receptionist can she read then to me or do I have to speak to the doctor ?

notyetamumbuttrying · 09/11/2020 13:03

@SmileyT best way to be I think! Plus you don't want ppl's opinion to sway you! Thank you, yeah I do. Dh has finally come round to the idea too so thanks Covid for that 🙏🏾 means we'll actually be closer to my family rather than half way between the two, yay for me 😂 time will tell tho, he'll prob change his mind again next week lol!

@Skip86 that looks sooooo yummy!! 😋

Just a whistle stop hello from me, busy day today xx

Missgoldilocks · 09/11/2020 13:06

When I try to post a picture it doesn't work 😬😩 anyways @Skip86 that looks amazing!! Love poke bowels x
Yes! Precum does my friend got preggo like that x

Juno231 · 09/11/2020 13:18

@lucyrp I think a nurse should be able to tell you? Tsh and t4 would be relevant for you.

OP posts:
lucyrp · 09/11/2020 13:25

@Juno231 I just rang I can't speak to a nurse or healthcare assistant I have to wait until Thursday for a call back from the doctor😴

lucyrp · 09/11/2020 13:28

@Juno231 although I've read through the symptoms myself before and friends have suggested to me I have it but I don't think I have any of the symptoms ? Maybe one ?
