Tactical seduction and POAS addicts

[FfayeN]

Hi ladies. I have started to feel a little overwhelmed with our usual thread and we are at different stages of our journeys now. Please feel free to leave this one if you don't feel the same but I feel so invested in your journeys and don't want to miss any news. Hoping this is ok, I don't think you can do DM as a group?
Hope you are all doing well and if there's anyone I've missed from the usual bunch feel free to add 😘😘😘

@MrsCristianoX @TheBirdintheCave @Indianna2006 @theblueflowers @bunnykins123 @LuckyMoonstone @mummatara

@FfayeN ❤️ I had a few mental days at work, logged in to the thread and didn't recognise many names 🤯 hope you're feeling okay?? Xx

@FfayeN I must admit that thread moves sooo fast atm. I’ve been trying to keep up. But sadly for all the newbies having to join. I’m getting totally lost and can’t even keep up with who is who. The chat moves soo fast as lots of people posting. Gets to 1000 posts so quick 🙈 by time I check it I'm pages behind.

We told DD today. ☺️ She was very pleased. She said the scan photo looked like a baby chick to begin with 😂
Still apprehensive though. I think it will be a long while before that fades. Baby in arm fades more like i think.

@MrsCristianoX I'm ok thanks lovely. I had a lightbulb moment that it could be the cyclogest so I am back to the dreaded back door for a few days in the hope it stops.

@Indianna2006 exactly that. I want to support the new ladies, but i just cannot keep up and then feel I will say something wrong or they won't have been exposed to our humour previously 🤣.
Aw that's so wonderful! Are you about 10 weeks now? xx

@FfayeN they have deffo not been exposed to our humour 🤣🤣

I am 14 weeks tomorrow 😱 I still keep having a daily panic about it though. 5 days after a perfectly normal scan and the doubt appears again about getting to 16W midwife appointment and finding heart beat etc etc. ugh wish we could just switch our brains off.
Gonna be a long ole 40 weeks!

@MrsCristianoX are you passed your fertile window now or in it? I know your avoiding it. Was just wondering if you was already in the awaiting period to start part. Hopefully it flys by. So next month you can get on it as we should say 😂😂 🍆

@Indianna2006 aww that's so cute 🥰 I employed my pregnant niece and am fussing around her like a mother hen. I'm pretty sure she thinks I'm mental😂 she's 7 months pregnant and expecting a lil girl 💕 I'm like take a break, eat something, don't lift that, sit on that chair😅 that'll keep me occupied till I can try again..roll on 24 November..

@Indianna2006 so far past it I'm forgetting what CD I'm on. Starting to feel cramping so checked premom and I'm like 6dpo (I took a couple of OPKs til I hit what looked like a peak) ugh I'll have to miss another I think..it'll be furious seduction in December none of this selective nonsense 😅 (she says hoping DH plays along)

@Indianna2006 aw congrats, see I've totally lost track! That's wonderful news, I know what you mean though, the anxiety makes somewhat of the journey negative when we should be making the most of it.
@MrsCristianoX it's lovely that you have a distraction. 24th Nov is not far away at all, but it does give you a chance to write a list....
'Ways to seduce DH into quick baby making that won't add pressure'. If only I could think of 1 to get you started 🤣🤣🤣

@FfayeN right ladies that's your mission😂 she's so innocent (only19) and naive which is lovely in a way. I asked her when she found out..6 weeks but didn't believe her dr and payed for a private scan at 6 weeks😱 I'm like ok (worst nightmare for me) was there a heartbeat to make you believe? And there was.

Just you take it easy today. I'll come to your house and mother hen you 😂I had to go back onto the last thread to search your comments because I was lost but 100% the cyclogest is giving the pink cm. And backache is totally normal xx

@FfayeN I saw your message last night about the spotting and immediately thought it was the progesterone! Went to send a message and stupidly didn't press post. That makes so much sense. I've been using it back door only, and I'm starting to feel sensitive which I've heard can happen. Hope you're feeling okay x

@Indianna2006 aw that sounds like such a sweet moment! Totally understandable that you're still anxious. One day at a time!

@theblueflowers thank you! I didn't even think until last night. I'm finding the progesterone really rough actually but sticking with it incase it will help. I did a CB digital this morning and it's coming up 3+ weeks so levels seem top end of normal. It's reassured me a little! xx

@FfayeN that's great news! A small relief I bet.

@FfayeN fab!! Hope that relaxes you today xx

@theblueflowers for now 😂. Thanks ladies x

@TheBirdintheCave YES to your message on the new posters with a positive test. I had to stop looking at the original thread because it wasn't doing my emotions any good. Am truly happy for everyone else though 🥰 and would be gutted if you left to a pregnancy board ❤️

Following as I want to keep up with developments with you guys. Sorry, whinge-fest incoming...

I just feel so frustrated with the entire sorry situation. I was flabbergasted with a shock BFP in March (I'd been a bit sloppy with pill taking in the few weeks before, but wasn't particularly worried as previously TTC had taken 16 and 12 months). We were both shocked but getting our head around the situation when 4 days later my period arrived and HCG levels were confirmed as constant with MC at the EPU the following week. Afterwards we then said we'd TTC properly but DH's feet have become increasingly colder. When thinking how it would be doable, I was really glad that I'd just got a promotion (and thus a bit more money), but now it looks it will be swallowed up by energy bills etc., and is less of an argument for TTC than it was a few months back. It also feels nuts that we're now so worried about money when between us we earn just over £100k and we have £23k in savings, but our current mortgage rate ends next year, so....I just don't feel I have anything to argue against all the uncertainty and it feels so unfair, when in a parallel universe I'd be preparing for another baby right now, packing my hospital bag etc and now it all feels like as much of an impossible dream as ever.

Galssss! Thank you for the tag! I totally missed this - I use the app so don't get notifications so totally missed this (I did 👀 when @MrsCristianoX said there was another thread and found it!) I agree, I took a step back from the other group recently as I was getting confused with how quickly it was moving! I feel like we've been going through this process together for a while so it's nice to have something a bit more personal 💕

Sorry ladies I totally missed this thread 🤦🏼‍♀️ love the name though 😂 I was getting very lost in the other thread with who's who! I've had a major migraine this morning that I can't even blame in the one cider I drank last night should have made more of a drinking effort if i was going to have the headache anyway 🙄

@bunnykins123 I hope @TheBirdintheCave can find us too

I personally found it too difficult to keep up with and I've been scrolling trying to find names I knew. But work has been MENTAL!

Where are you in your cycle? I'm sorry I totally missed a lot of the last thread xx

@curliegirlie my DH is similar. But it's not so much money as my health (excuse like) the only thing affecting my health is work stress and I'm trying to make him see that. And the cholesterol which was sitting at 6 but we have been eating rubbish so I'm not hugely surprised about that 🤷‍♀️ I feel a big talk coming on 🙈 communication has been hard these past couple of weeks. But he knows I'm upset I just can't do the talk now til I get the blood profile back. There's my rant for today too. We both have good jobs and some savings too but I really want a baby. I have 3 I should be content but the miscarriage opened up a door I thought had closed xx

Hi guys can I sneak in here too…? I returned to the old thread after a one cycle break and didn’t know anybody 😱
Feeling in a much better place now - I’ve only got a few days left in my current job then I’m starting my new one next month. It’s a bit weird TTC during this transition but I’m going to turn 38 in a couple of weeks and that biological clock is ticking very loudly.

Woo! I found this thread! Haha I don't know why it doesn't show tags on my phone 🤷🏻‍♀️

@pangolin84 I was going to tag you too..I remember we joined at a similar time but hadn't seen you post anything (says the woman who post nothing the past week) but yes please join us xx

@TheBirdintheCave yay!! 🥰

@TheBirdintheCave yes I felt the same too...hence this group...there were too many drop ins on the other one I just couldn't keep up and it feels like a strange place.
@bunnykins123 exactly that! Glad you've now found us.
@curliegirlie I'm so sorry the goal posts have changed for you, it is a bloody worry with the bills etc and I don't know how we will cope.
Perhaps a serious conversation with DH will help you be on the same page.
@MrsCristianoX it's funny as I do the same with my DH. I do shut him out until I have processed everything in my own time first, he's gradually understand that's the way I work but we've had bumps along the way, MC does not make relationships easy!
@pangolin84 of course, welcome lovely 🥰. I had lost track of who was active on the last one before all the newbies 😳.
I feel like a bitch...but we have a good squad and I can keep up with a small number between work etc 😘

@FfayeN @theblueflowers @Indianna2006 hope the pregnant graduates are keeping well 🥰

@FfayeN this group came at the right time for me. I think I was mid cry when I noticed it and honestly it cheered me right up 💕

@MrsCristianoX it's not nice to feel overwhelmed so I'm glad you can now have this space to have support and some giggles again 😘. Sending hugs xxx
