@Sparklingwine1 I think you can treat thrush when pregnant anyway! I think you could just say to the pharmacist you are trying to conceive!

They'll know the air on side of caution!!

😂😂😂😂😂😂 I’m sorry @Sparklingwine1 I know it’s not funny, but the fungus riddled really made me laugh haha.

I think thrush in pregnancy is quite common right? So I would assume most of the creams would be safe to use?

Yeah that was my thought peachy! I also laughed at fungus ridden 😂😂

'Sweetheart.... it's ovulation day ... I don't care if I'm growing a penis... we are getTing that deed done!'

GingerTea333 · 21/06/2021 20:54

😂😂😂 minge mushrooms 🍄 such an attractive thought!

This is probably a bit controversial but I actually never bother testing (for pregnancy not fungus). I usually start pre-🧙‍♀️ spotting at about 10 dpo so I just wait for that to start and save myself the hassle. A negative earlier than that is just pointless because I manage to convince myself it doesn’t mean anything anyway as it’s too early. Doesn’t mean it’s any less heartbreaking when 🧙‍♀️ shows herself though!

KayL1988 · 21/06/2021 21:07

@GingerTea333 that's so impressive!!! I tested a lot last month but because I had no idea when I ovulated it was all a bit more chaotic.

This month I've been more patient ..... honestly it's definitely the best way to just wait for 🧙‍♀️ but when I have plans that may involve drinks I hate not knowing 😅

Sparklingwine1 · 21/06/2021 21:10

Omg 😂😂

I shall use that phrase when in the pharmacy:

'What minge mushroom treatment is safe in potential early pregnancy please?'

Also I didn't clarify in my earlier message but when I said I've been using a hot tub it hasn't been hot, we used it cold when we had the heatwave (I know they are bad to use too hot when TTC!)

Feel free to use it, although, don’t call it cream, they may think you’re making carbonara 😂 @Sparklingwine1

@GingerTea333 I’m impressed by your restraint! That was my aim last cycle, but it didn’t work out that way. This one I aim to be more controlled

SkeletonSkins · 21/06/2021 21:17

Omg had the busiest day at work and reading through all your posts has been a great way to switch off this evening!!

@80sPadme sorry about the BFN but defo still early - I read a post the other day saying when did you get your BFP and the most common was 10-11 DPO, some were like 14/15/16 days so defo still in tbe game.

I actually read the other day, and how gross is this, that men can kind of keep the thrush on their whatsit and bloody reinfect us 😂😂 so prob best to to keep the mushrooms to ourselves 😂😂

SkeletonSkins · 21/06/2021 21:17

Off to go and read that thread as my next mind numbing exercise - totally agree with loving reality TV, it’s my switch off!

SkeletonSkins · 21/06/2021 21:19

Damn - OP was a previously banned poster on the thread, well done those that spotted the troll 😂

Oh my god @SkeletonSkins like a mushroom log? Gross 🤢

How was your day? What do you do for work? Sorry I’ve you’ve said before, I can’t remember 🤔

Hi all
Age 33 TTC #1 since November 2020, 24 day cycle usually but had an ERPC at the start of June at 9.5 weeks, so don't know where I am with my cycles again yet. DH and I are just seeing how things go for the next few months, hoping I catch without 'trying' to make life a bit easier. Joining for support as I don't feel I can talk to anyone in real life.

HRP1990 · 21/06/2021 21:33

Omg what have I just read 😂 creasing up in bed!

Welcome @PeanuttyButter!
I’m sorry, I’m going to be dumb and ask you what an ERCP is? You don’t have to say if you don’t want to though.
Welcome to the gang!

@HRP1990 😂😂😂 we have lowered the tone

SkeletonSkins · 21/06/2021 21:55

Welcome @PeanuttyButter, fingers crossed you catch easily without having to add in all the stressy bits! Sadly I’ve never managed to be relaxed in my life 😂😂

@Peachycream I don’t think I’ve said before, I’m an educational psychologist lol, sounds fancier than it is. I work with kids with special needs or mental health needs basically, although lots of it is meetings and report writing. How about you?

KayL1988 · 21/06/2021 21:55

Welcome @PeanuttyButter hopefully we'll be able to provide you with some friendship, definitely find this group very comforting when you can't talk about things in real life.

Just googled it, sorry to hear about that. How are you feeling in yourself?? Xxxx

Monte mushrooms has just totally buckled me. As does fanny fungus

Evacuation and Removal of the Products of Conception. It's the procedure used to remove a miscarriage that is incomplete. I had one when I miscarried as my body continued thinking I was pregnant.
80sPadme · 21/06/2021 22:54

Welcome @PeanuttyButter And I'm sorry to hear that you miscarried. Hopefully your cycle will regulate again and you can baby dance to pregnancy.

@SkeletonSkins that sound both really cool and super hard work at the same time. I’ve never heard of it before, what do you do? Do you work as part of a school or go to different schools? I don’t do anything half as fancy, im just a little carer 😂

Ahh thank you @80sPadme. I’m sorry you had one too, it must be awful to go through.

Morning gang, how are we all today? Xx

KayL1988 · 22/06/2021 07:04

Morning Peachy! I'm good thank you!! Been lay awake in bed for about 40 mins reading, about to get ready and take the dog for a walk.

Really can't be bothered logging on early again 😅

Morning girls! I’m staying away for work at the moment so just chilling with a tea in bed catching up! It’s so weird being away from home, if it were my fertile window I’d be fuming 😂

CD8 for me! You bet I packed my vitamins, OPKs and thermometer for the trip haha
