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

@Indianna2006 I'm feeling ok thank you! Had a wobble yesterday but that's to be expected with the hormones too. I actually really think I had an infection last time, my stomach blew up and I was in quite a lot of pain. This time just mild discomfort and I've had barely any bleeding (so far!) so hopefully all going well 🤞🏼

Pretty sure we're done in the shops for Christmas shopping.....hallelujah!!! xx

@Indianna2006 I think it has helped clear my mind, but now that I’m entering a new cycle where I know I’m going to be TTC i can feel the anxiety! Worrying about what if it doesn’t work, how long is it going to take this time etc. I’m due to ovulate around xmas day (maybe before if the thyroxine/other vitamins starts to help with ovulation), so I could potentially still be in the TWW in early Jan because of these stupidly long cycles lol. Awww yeah it is such a bittersweet time isn’t it. And Christmas reminds me of pregnancy because I had my son the week before xmas, so Christmas reminds me of being heavily pregnant, getting ready for xmas, going to midwife appointments in the snow, starting maternity leave etc. and then actually having my son with xmas trees in the hospital and that lovely fuzzy warm feeling.
No I don’t think we did anything different, we always use pre-seed. We did a mixture of normal sex and insemination on numerous days so I don’t know which one caught the egg!

Also New Years will be a tough time as I found out our second baby had passed away on 30th December, and delivered him on 2nd Jan, so I’ll be thinking about it even more than normal 😔

Hi everyone, I’ve been quiet recently as this TWW has been driving me nuts and having a break from MN helps me stop thinking about it.
Managed to hold out until today (10 dpo) and got this on an internet cheapy. One of those that’s so faint I can’t even tell if it’s got colour. I’ll probably end up regretting testing early (again!).
Feel like I’m going mad.

@LuckyMoonstone That is really tough. It can be an emotional time of year anyway and with all of that on top it must be so difficult. Try to take some time out for yourself if you can x

:O Congratulations, Pangolin! I definitely see it. Looks like mine from 10dpo.

@LuckyMoonstone I'm with you hun, two of the last 3 christmasses me and DH have planned to reveal our pregnancy to family, all the stuff is still in the cupboard, 3rd year in. It's always such a conflicting time 😔.

@pangolin84 I see colour on that!!! Gentle congrats I hope the next few days you get more reassurance 😘 xxx

@LuckyMoonstone That must be so hard :( I'm really sorry.

@pangolin84 there's a definite line!! tentative congratulations 🥰

@LuckyMoonstone @FfayeN

I'm so sorry for both your experiences that make Christmas so hard. Will be thinking of you

@pangolin84

Definite line! Everything crossed for you

@pangolin84 that is very much a line!!! Got everything crossed for you 🤞

@LuckyMoonstone @FfayeN Christmas is such a hard time of year. Lovley. But also hard for losses and grief. Of any kind tbh. Mixture bag of emotions.
I am certain your time will come. And hope by next Christmas you shall have either a baby here or one in your belly cooking away 🎄🥰

@pangolin84 deffo has some pink colour. No denying that line to me. Congrats hun. For now you are pregnant 🥰

@TheBirdintheCave how are you feeling? Any symptoms yet? An have you done your best to avoid keep testing or just pissed on everything available! 🤣

xx

@LuckyMoonstone so sorry lovely that must be so hard for you ❤️

@pangolin84 I don't even have to zoom in to see that one. I've got everything crossed for you 🤞🏼 I really really hope this is a sticky one

I'm having my first wobbly day of wanting desperately to poas 🤦🏼‍♀️ prob doesn't help that I'm off with DS who has conjunctivitis yet again 🙄 so not being distracted with being in the office. I've been having a few little cramps so I'm really hoping AF won't be long now

Thank you lovely people xxx
@FfayeN I’m so sorry you’ve had to go through that x

@mummatara what dpo are you hun? xx

@FfayeN im CD28 so hoping she's going to arrive soon so that it feels like a nice fresh start and hopefully I ovulate next cycle 🤞🏼

@Indianna2006 Oh don't worry I've been keeping true to the name of the group 😂 I have three cheapies left which will take me to 5+4 on Friday. All looking good there so far :) I have a big line of them on my windowsill. Then I have a digi that I bought months ago which I'm saving for 6 weeks.

Symptoms wise I have sore boobs and some nausea (but its only a little and I wish it were worse 😂). I'm also more tired in the afternoons but that's about it.

@mummatara come on AF!!!! Can't be long now 🙏🏼. What's your plan for next cycle? Are you POAS OPKing, fertililying, temping? Or going for a laid back approach (I mean does one exist and if it does is it even possible?! 😂) xx

@FfayeN I shall opk and temp I haven't bought a fertilily yet I might leave that one for the time being I'm not sure DH would understand that one just yet as he's all very relaxed about it 🙈 hahahaha I'd love to know someone that could manage the laid back approach 😂 it def isn't me 🙊 I've got some cb opks left and some strips. Last time I did the cb in the morning and when it started flashing did a strip in the evening so I didn't waste an expensive one in the eve think ill do the same this time xx

@mummatara my DH is that much of a donkey he didn't see me putting it in after. To this day he doesn't know unless he's been hoking in my bedside drawer and thought what is this giant clear sperm like thing 🙈 j still don't think he'd guess tbh 😅

@mummatara actually speaking of him he's been well grumpy lately I hope he snaps out of it soon or December is a no go for us 🙄

@MrsCristianoX Mine thought it was really interesting 😂

@TheBirdintheCave literally my DH..not a clue..if he has come across it and he hasn't said it may be the reason for the mood. Either that or the fact I told him he was drinking too much😂

@MrsCristianoX I told mine the same. He's still drinking when there is literally no need too though. It's like his results didn't shout loud enough 🙄. I might find a poster that says what units everything is for the kitchen 😂😂😂
