@newtolineofduty he reminds me of so many clients. Agree, she doesn't, or does and is being complaint. It's the really subtle things that I noticed that made my skin crawl. Can't believe that when the media has been more focused on DA for a while now!

newtolineofduty · 10/09/2021 16:37

@hoola23 yes whoever did his assessment should get the sack! Seemingly charming but very controlling......x

hoola23 · 10/09/2021 16:50

@newtolineofduty totally agree! Would love to read that assessment though 🤣🤣

Nee symptom, face looks like I've dunked it in vegetable oil. It's disgusting! I have to take off and re-apply my make up half way through the day!! Even my ears feel oily! Yuk

lol2015 · 10/09/2021 16:56

Which tests do people prefer?
Clear blue Or frer are there any that have less chances of an evap line?

Red dye or blue dye? X

hoola23 · 10/09/2021 17:01

@lol2015 I got the new clear blue early detection which was really good as it's digital but you can use it 6 days before missed period

newtolineofduty · 10/09/2021 17:12

@hoola23 my skin is like that this week! I assumed it was the heat but it started before that!

Maybe we could request to read the report under the freedom of information act 🤣🤣🤣

hoola23 · 10/09/2021 17:52

@newtolineofduty ohhhhhhhh! Is it!! I normally have somewhat oily/combination skin but this is a joke. My DH actually looked at me and said why is your face crying 🤣🤣😕😕😕 i noticed about a week ago but thought not much of it but now it's beyond control!! Do you think for you this is a symptom??? Mine started about 10-11dpo!! 😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉

hoola23 · 10/09/2021 17:55

@CShandy01 glad you're back to be back at work! It's good to keep busy too! Yeah I bet the kids aren't happy about it 🤣🤣 what do you teach? And teachers are totally there to be annoying! Bet you have more of an impact than they'll ever let on! X

newtolineofduty · 10/09/2021 18:06

@hoola23 you sooooooooooo want me to test lol!!!!!!!!! I'm 12dpo today! Still not tempted to test. Too scared it'd be negative and period not due officially for another 6 days! X

hoola23 · 10/09/2021 18:17

@newtolineofduty is it that obvious🤣🤣🤣🤣 you are amazing to not test! BUT don't test 🤣🤣🤣 6 days and counting! X

newtolineofduty · 10/09/2021 18:20

@hoola23 I don't feel like I'm being disciplined I'm just scared and avoiding for as long as possible! Urgh I hate this! Have you booked yourself in for an early private scan!? If you go private you can hear the heartbeat etc! Xxx

CShandy01 · 10/09/2021 18:39

@newtolineofduty good for you for not testing!! It's so hard not doing it. Everything I wanted to buy a test I literally had to force myself not to. When is AF due to make a potential appearance?

hoola23 · 10/09/2021 18:40

@newtolineofduty you are being so disciplined! Some months I kid you not I did 10 tests a day! Only the IC but still. Like anything would actually change in the space of an hour🙄

Well I did the whole self referral to midwives online and they called me today. Turns out I referred myself to a hospital in Sussex! I live in Surrey🙄 they were very sweet about it though🤣 with Surrey I can't refer until I'm 6 weeks apparently but then they also say to contact your community midwife! Urgh it's all so confusing! I'll just wait till I'm 6 weeks and do the online referral

Yes I'm booking a private scan for middle of October so I should be about 8 weeks then! That will be so fun! Can't wait!

newtolineofduty · 10/09/2021 18:48

Agh that will be wonderful @hoola23! We had our daughters heartbeat put into a teddy!!!!! I slept with it during my pregnancy!!!!

@CShandy01 so officially I'm due on 16th but I ovulated early and my luteal phase is usually around 15 days which would mean it should come Monday/Tuesday I think! I'm so glad we're going on holiday so I'll hopefully be preoccupied! X

hoola23 · 10/09/2021 18:56

@newtolineofduty omg that is the cutest thing ever!!!

Hope you have the best time away, relax, enjoy yourself, get merry and report back first thing!!! Xx

newtolineofduty · 10/09/2021 18:58

@hoola23 hehe thank you will do!!!! Xxx

MrsRosaline · 10/09/2021 20:26

@newtolineofduty I was tempted to test this eve, but the thought of it being negative just put me off. Also I had no idea you could do that (RE heartbeat) that's so cool!! I'm also due Monday/Tuesday. Was going to test on Monday 😬

@hoola23 very excited for you. I also went for an early scan and it was so reassuring and definitely took away a lot of the stress.

newtolineofduty · 10/09/2021 20:37

@MrsRosaline yes it's lovely! It sits in our spare room and our daughter occasionally comes across it and presses its belly and there's her heartbeat playing! Very surreal! I think lots of private places do it! Xx

Yes the excitement of testing has definitely left the building! X

hoola23 · 10/09/2021 21:02

@newtolineofduty @MrsRosaline you're both so disciplined! But totally get the whole wanting to avoid disappointment feeling, it truly bloody sucks. Not long to go anyway so patience is a virtue! Literally everything crossed for you two ❤️

newtolineofduty · 10/09/2021 22:26

@hoola23 all caught up on love island! Omg the drama! But what disturbed me most was franks attitude! He makes my skin crawl! Mel managed it brilliantly!! I have a girl crush on her!!!!! X

hoola23 · 10/09/2021 22:36

@newtolineofduty oh good!!! Right! He is awful! She's so good isn't she! I loved watching his reaction when she called him out, surprise surprise he was not happy! I hope she digs deeper and pushes him harder next time, not long till he switches I think!

newtolineofduty · 10/09/2021 22:39

@hoola23 I bet he was so full of rage afterwards and I bet his partner will suffer as a result at some point 😔 x I can't believe he's been allowed on-I feel like I want to write in and complain! X

hoola23 · 10/09/2021 22:46

@newtolineofduty that was my exact thought! Wonder what their evening will be like after that! I also didn't appreciate that the experts spoke about how they "both like to adopt traditional gender roles in relationships!" What BS, that's not gender roles, it's coercive and controlling and everyone bloody knows it! I have a strong interest in this area so it really pisses me off!!

plantbasedlondoner · 11/09/2021 07:53

Everyone is staying so strong and not testing early! And congratulations @hoola23 !! So exciting ☺️

Thanks for the advice on skipping the OPKs @CShandy01 I think that is best for me :) I definitely find myself hoping and wishing for a positive result soon as have been spending more time recently with a friend who has just gone through 3 cycles of IVF. Trying not to get too worked up over every possible symptom 😬

hoola23 · 11/09/2021 09:05

@plantbasedlondoner they're doing so well! Honestly don't know how they do it 🤣

I've got more blood tinged CM today but it's super pale pink and only when I go looking for it if you know what I mean. Gross! 🤣 does spotting coke and go? Feel like this might not be a good sign! Totally prepared for the worst to happen and I will genuinely be ok if it does
