Thread 2!
Will try to tag everyone who was active recently in the old thread, but sorry if I missed anyone. And if you're one of the many who got BFPs in the old thread and you're currently wading through the dark depths of morning sickness, feel free to ignore us 😊

Hey ladies, yeaaah AF got me! Good news is LP this month was 12 days. However I had spotting at 10dpo and 12dpo so not sure if that will impact my fertility. I never got to test and I'm sort of glad I didn't. This cycle was so strange I'd rather not know what went on!

@Pudding01 don't worry about a dip. It probably doesn't mean anything right now.

@unCliche sorry lovely! Onto the next cycle 😁
@Pudding01 oh gosh sorry to hear your job is in limbo!!! Hope you get the news you want!!! And I wouldn’t worry about a dip either.
I worked a night shift last night, just temped after about 2 hours sleep so probs pretty inaccurate but I’ve plotted it anyway and it now says im 4dpo (tho suspect i’m actually 3dpo!) Getting into ss territory haha

Sorry @unCliche ❤

My redundancy was confirmed today. Happy Xmas! Lol I'm ok, just mixed feelings of sadness for losing my job after 13 years and relief for finally catching a break after being worked in to the ground over the last 9 months.

Feel like changing my name to gassiusmaximus today. Actually ridiculous. Extremely gassy, lower dull aches, boobs painful and a headache. Must be the change in hormones!

Oooh @Pudding01 I’m so sorry to hear that ☹️☹️ God this year has been shite hasn’t it!!!

I'm sorry @Pudding01, that really sucks 😔 I hope you get some time to recharge though. And hope the nasty hormonal stuff eases off soon xx

Also @Pudding01 I was so so so gassy in early pregnancy with my DS- it was hideous! So maybe a good sign?? 🤞🏻

What terrible news @Pudding01. Definitely not what you need a few days before Christmas, or ever, for that matter! Use this time to relax and to focus on you. You'll have 13 years worth of redundancy pay so hopefully you won't feel too panicked about it all.

@unCliche sorry AF got you but 2021 is the year

@Pudding01 that’s crap but every silver lining... 13years I hope a good package and maybe even a few months off to decide your next career or company path. I had over 3 months off between my last role (gardening leave) but what an amazing time to recharge!

@EllyNC I’m pleased I’m not the only one... gassy... I am vile at the moment (she says whilst drinking ‘cheaper’ prune juice ha)

Thanks ladies. What's annoying is they class the whole 13 years as part time, dismissing my 10 years full time before Erin 😂 cheeky bankers! (I am in banking) but I am also in my final year of a degree too, so am feeling relief of being able to get stuck in to that for a few weeks/months and getting the dissertation that I still haven't started done!

Oooh I didn't link gas to pregnancy. If that's the case then I hope I have more as I'm too hormonal for any non baby making sexy time atm!
Hahaha @Cc7750 How is all the prune juice??

@Pudding01 prune juice hmmmm, like blended raisins yuk! Tesco’s must have thought I was crazy earlier, I basically bought a box of it! Can they do that ref part/full time that is so naughty! You’d think they would have done 70/30 or worked out for you, cheeky bug*ers! What’s your degree in?

@Pudding01 that’s so naughty of them!!! Can you dispute it?? Defo take a bit of time if you can and focus on you and the studying! ☺️
@Cc7750 you are cracking me up with all this prune juice. Everyone else stocking up on bog roll and turkeys and you’re buying boxes of prune juice 😂😂😂

@Cc7750 degree is in Counselling & Psychotherapy. Started the foundation course on my maternity leave and took it from there 😁 Loving the prune juice stories, wish there were pictures with it haha. Who needs boxes of wine when there's boxes of prune juice?!

@EllyNC it is a bitter sweet for me. Glad to be out, but was about a year too early! But if i can live off it for a bit then it's still a win for me 🙂

So everyone, 3 more sleeps until Santa. Are we excited? Are we prepared and all presents wrapped?

Good morning from Spud the cat and some prune juice ha! He is like ‘what the hell is all this’...

@Pudding01 that’s a wicked degree and great time to have done it.. What an interesting role to have if you get into it! Much more rewarding than my role

Hahaha that's brilliant! And Spud is a great name for a cat 😸

Hahaha love Spud the cat! 😂😂 See how much more fun it is with pictures.

Thank you, it was either Primary School teacher or Therapist. Complete opposite to the ever corporate Business Banking!

So I caved and tested... BFN. Gutted. But I'm only 9dpo and temp went back to normal today

@Pudding01 I’m corporate too, I’d love to have the guts to do what your doing, maybe after I’ve had a small human I should consider it!

And 9dpo, your not out! My temp dropped at 6dpo and 12dpo but don’t they say you can see a drop at time of implantation which would be 9dpo or around.. maybe wait a day or two but if not just think mulled wine!

@Pudding01 sounds great, and defo perfect time to be doing that!!! (Sadly!) and dw, 9dpo is still early, some people don’t even implant till later than that!!! Have a wine and give it a few more days 🤣

@Cc7750 wow spud is cute and an amazing name!!! I’m still finding the amount of prune juice you’re drinking hilarious!!!!

@AlisonWhite how are you feeling.. cramps stopped?

Happy Christmas Eve everyone! Hope you all have a good day tomorrow whatever you're doing 🎄🎉

@HerringGull to you too and everyone else!
Don’t judge me to do but I’m having a small mulled wine, I’ve got have one over Xmas! (And anything but prune juice 😩)

Have a wicked one everyone!

And anyone who is testing do keep us updated!

Merry Christmas everyone!

No news from me. BFN this morning. Temp went up a bit more this morning, still cramping & gassy. Today, weirdly, I had a little bit of ewcm mixed with creamy, so that's confused me! Had to take a pic as it was more ew than when I ovulate 😂 No opk sticks to check that out, but very unlikely if my temp is at its highest x

@Pudding01 I feel like ewcm just comes and goes as it pleases sometimes 🤣🤣 when are you planning to test again??
Merry Christmas Eve ladies, hope you all manage to have lovely days tomorrow with your families!!

Have a Merry Christmas tomorrow lovelies! Eat loads and have fun 🎄🎄

@Cc7750 yes they have :)

Happy Christmas all of you lovelies xxxxx
