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

@lovenaps Hey hey! I'm all good thanks, just trying to get through each day. Doing my best to ignore the fact that I'm pregnant like @FfayeN so throwing myself into work which is why I haven't been on so much. How are you getting on?

I am reading along though and enjoying everyone's adventures with fertilily 😂

@MrsCristianoX mine sometimes faded back pale and others went straight away, most important is the peak, not what's after so if you've had pains you're all good lovely!
Good luck to all you ladies starting the two week wait, I am rooting for you all to have BFPs!! 🙏🏼 xxxx

@theblueflowers same here struggling to check MN as much as I was, plus going through the daily struggle of 'am I feeling as pregnant today as yesterday?!'. The analysis gets worse by the day.
I hope you're doing ok and @lovenaps too xxx

@FfayeN oh the constant checking 😫 I swear I have checked my boobs in front of people without realising 😂. Sounds ridiculous but I'd be so much happier with stronger symptoms.

@lovenaps I haven’t. Think I’d prob avoid it too. Unless it was proven to be safe 1st trimester. They pretty much seem to want you to avoid most things nowadays! And easier to be safer isn’t it I guess.

haha maybe they can be name of next thread. “Adventures of the fertilily”

I also have a good feeling and think some more BFPs are due!

@MrsCristianoX @bunnykins123 deffo think DD will love it. Think I might do that then and hope to perhaps feel a nudge from baby before Sunday to convince me they okay in there.

@theblueflowers I'm the same! Particularly my left one as it feels slightly bigger 🤣. I need to stop eating though, I swear a food belly is going to make its presence known before any baby bump that may be coming 🤦🏼‍♀️ xx

@Indianna2006 I think it's a wonderful idea, I really wish you the best for it and hope it's a magical moment for the 4 of you!!
Also loving the next thread name! Do not forget it 😂😂😂

@FfayeN for a few seconds I was thinking what does she mean the 4 of us 🤔🤔

oh yes. DUH. 4 including bean in belly. Honestly after nearly 5 years being as a 3. That sounds very bizarre lol.

Hahhaa Adventures of the Ferti-lily is just perfect 😂

@MrsCristianoX ahh this is the place for meltdowns! I did a quick google last night to see if pains are before, during or after and literally it could be either. How useless is that! I've been temping and my temps are poo (the teeniest increase) so wondering if I've actually ovulated yet. Urgh.

@TheBirdintheCave I sometimes get EWCM after O. Is it the really good clear stretchy stuff or is it a bit cloudy? Jeez I never thought I would become such an expert on cm 🤦‍♀️

@calimc83 how are you doing lovely? I hope everything is going well for you!! It's so lovely to hear you've popped and look pregnant 💕

@lovenaps I haven't tried it. Personally I'm not sure I would want to play around with it unless I know it's proven to be helpful (I have no idea if it is or not 🤔). Have you scheduled a scan to reassure you? I would probably start there than going and having needles stuck in you (which let me tell you is really really boring, it's nowhere near as enjoyable as a massage!!)

@FfayeN @theblueflowers I remember the reassuring boobie gropes well. You know if you see a lady doing that, that's a sure sign she's pregnant 😂 glad to hear you're both doing well!!

@Indianna2006 adventures of the fertilily lol! I wonder how many ladies on this thread will end up pregnant with the help of the ol' lily?!

@bunnykins123 haha I was googling too.. I think it can be different for everyone but the spiky pain on right side I think it was then or close to then. I don't temp so thank god don't have that to obsess over. I had a wee meltdown then told myself to wise up. I DTD more than a normal fertile week. Mind DH was up for it last night but I could NOT be bothered 😂

@pangolin84 you ok lovely? Xx

@bunnykins123 It was the thick clear stretchy stuff. I've still got it today but can't be bothered to dtd tonight lol. My temps still haven't changed either. I keep expecting an obvious spike but it's only raised a tiny bit. Very odd.

@MrsCristianoX I’m ok, thanks for asking. Been in a bit of a funk as I’m CD5 and since AF turned up I’ve been feeling pretty down. I guess it’s normal with the hormones and everything. I also realised that if I don’t get pregnant this cycle I won’t be pregnant on the due date of my MMC.
I shouldn’t really be surprised as it took us a year to conceive DS after my first MC and now I’m 38 so will probably take even longer (if at all) 😢
Just trying to stay positive 🤞

@pangolin84 oh hun. I hear you. We are the exact same age. I never thought in a million years I would still be here without a baby after I just turned 38. Sorry if you've mentioned before but have you had any tests done?

@TheBirdintheCave looks like we are the same - I had EWCM today. My temps are low too, no major increase so who knows where I am on my cycle. Honestly my body can just do one now...🤦‍♀️

@MrsCristianoX I don't really get spikey pain. Mines like a bloat and pressure that builds up and kinda moves to my hip / back. It gets more intense then just disappears which I always assumed was my follicular swelling and the egg releasing. We've done more this cycle too but im literally so done with dtd. I just want to watch I'm a celeb in peace without thinking I need to be sexy again...🤦‍♀️

@bunnykins123 mine is probably appendicitis ffs I'll check my OPK when I get home from work 🙄

@bunnykins123 hey I'm ok, plodding along. Feeling alright at the mo. No more nausea just the on off headaches. Hope u are doing ok? How's the new medication going? Xx

@pangolin84 sorry you're feeling down 🙁 hormones defo don't help. It seems to be one thing after another, miscarriage date, due date but keep going ❤️

@bunnykins123 OPK is low so whatever happened has happened 🤷‍♀️

@MrsCristianoX I had a temp rise today so who knows when I actually ovulated. No energy last night to try again. Haha I doubt it's that, it's far more likely to be a juicy folly!

@calimc83 glad the nausea has eased up. There is nothing worse than feeling like you're about to vom the whole time. Meds are fine actually. No obvious side effects (although I had the worst virus a few weeks ago so wonder if it felt worse due to the meds?!) xx

@bunnykins123 Glad you got a rise at last :D Mine has just been the same temp for the past three days now but CM is creamy today so... I guess I'll just treat it as if I've O'd and keep track of the CM just in case.

I will throw my phone out the window. I have a friend where we don't talk much but she knew about the losses. She told me I didn't need to experience having children to be happy (well, thanks for that, thanks so much). The only times she messages me is to say she is pregnant + pregnancy updates but it is not normal messages if that makes sense like hi, I am pregnant, etc. With the pregnancy, I knew straight away because she was messaging saying how happy she was and then very clearly was dropping hints and said she was pregnant. Similar stuff happening now when she wants to tell more news. I just won't bother to reply. I can be happy for people but when they act like my pain means nothing and aren't able to even send sensitive updates - have not got any time for this.
Feeling panicky as symptoms completely eased off last night 😭I know they come and go though. It is just overwhelming, scan feels like it is forever away.

I could try to arrange a scan for today... Don't know what to do. Just feeling awful and would like some reassurance.

@bunnykins123 🤞I think we both have! My boobs always get a bit sore after ov and they have been but up the sides not at the front weirdly. I feel absolutely awful today. DH and 2 of my kids have this viral thing..it's defo not covid but my god I feel rough. I have zero energy and had an awful sore throat yesterday. I haven't been too sympathetic with DH either but man this is horrible 🥲 I'm just laying zonked out. Stupid viral infections 😕

@lovenaps ugh ppl and there insensitive messages. They just don’t think about it sometimes. And I think you tend to only take a sensitivity if you’ve been there. Or really cared for someone and watch them go through. Best to try ignore it. I know it’s sooo hard sometimes. And you’ll cry with frustration whatever.

how far are you for a scan??

@bunnykins123 yay for ovulation. Fingers and toes crossed for you this month.
@MrsCristianoX oh sorry you feel poop. I have avoided anything until now but heading into winter season im thinking how less likely it’s getting.
i need to book my flu jab as well and get that in.
