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 😘😘😘

@mummatara it's good he's relaxed though! Mine was interested in the fertilily whilst I was boiling it, but I am sure everytime he saw it there after he'd forgotten what it was for and asked what I was doing 🤣.

@FfayeN it's soooo annoying. He goes for medicals every year in work and the bloody nurse was as bad as him so now he thinks that's ok 'how many units in a bottle of wine' nurse is like 'oops must cut down' ffs like

He would need to get his act together pronto or I'm joining a Christmas night out mainly because I'm pissed off ( bought a racy top yesterday just in case) 😂 pure fed up now. Sperm health matters!!

theblueflowers · 29/11/2022 17:40

@pangolin84 that looks like colour!

mummatara · 29/11/2022 17:51

@MrsCristianoX 😂 oh bless the donkey I just don't think I could shove it in gracefully enough for him not to notice 🙈 eurgh sometimes mine is in a right mood it gives me the hump then he soon snaps out of it prob coz he doesn't want to deal with me having the hump at him 🤣

@FfayeN haha this would be mine asking every single time 🤦🏼‍♀️ oh don't get me started on the drinking 🙄 he had a beer last night there was zero need to drink beer 🙄 I haven't got to the point of saying anything yet but if I happens again or we struggle to get one to stick I might

DS hasn't napped today and my god don't I know it 😭 I'm chucking him in for an early bath and praying all the coughing doesn't wake him up once he's asleep or I'm in for a treat tonight 😭

mummatara · 29/11/2022 17:52

@pangolin84 are you going to do a frer?

FfayeN · 29/11/2022 17:57

@MrsCristianoX @mummatara yeah I've explained the 5 units a week advice, in one ear out the other. I think that night alone a bottle of red was opened 😂.
I choose the moment he goes to 'clean up' to whip it in, he's none the wiser 🤐. Still asks when I go to take it out though.
Oh bless you! Hopefully the early bath will help, it certainly would help me lol xx

@FfayeN @mummatara he's just produced a fancy advent calendar for me..❤️ all is forgiven

MrsCristianoX · 29/11/2022 18:30

@FfayeN I think with my DH I could do a cartwheel naked and he still wouldn't notice after DTD. Revelling in his glory 😂 I've read that for men orgasm is like a shot of diazepam and I can see that 😅

MrsCristianoX · 29/11/2022 18:37

@FfayeN @mummatara CD8 so we are getting close..no peak or high yet. Tonight won't be the night. I painted a feature wall today (working the rest of the week) it looks nice 😊

Hope everyone is ok💕 @TheBirdintheCave love hearing about your pregnancy 😊 @pangolin84 so excited for you 😘

mummatara · 29/11/2022 19:03

@FfayeN @MrsCristianoX see clean up here is the trusty "towel" so he goes nowhere 🙄🙈 if it comes to it I'll def use it but atm he's still in blissful ignorance of ovulation etc and I don't want to put any performance pressure into the mix. Gah why do we have to be the ones to do all the hard grit 🤦🏼‍♀️

@MrsCristianoX 😂 love that what one did you get? I told DH his wouldn't arrive until the 1st and he said oh yea better organise that 🤦🏼‍♀️ I made sure I at least got myself a chocolate one just incase nothing arrives which I'm guessing it won't because he's just rushed out the house to a work emergency and I got an earful earlier of how much work he has to do 🙄 oooh hopefully in the next couple of days 🤞🏼 come in lil eggy 🥚

MrsCristianoX · 29/11/2022 19:09

@mummatara haha the towel 😂😂 that's the method here too. Really fancy! A flannels advent calendar full of beauty stuff❤️ I almost feel bad I ordered a secret bag earlier 😂

Good luck with DS tonight xx

FfayeN · 29/11/2022 19:33

@MrsCristianoX hahaha I love that your day was DIY, I took the doggo on a mammoth walk and it did my mind wonders! CD8 you can afford to chill this eve in preparation for the next week or so! Even though we won't be trying this month I cannot wait to be back into some kind of cycle! I'm rooting for you in the meantime 🤣.

@mummatara you've done well to keep it all very easy and lighthearted, even without me saying my DH can spot the important sessions a bloody mile off, it's a nightmare!

We don't have a towel here, I'm quite lucky I guess that he goes straight to 'wash up' and I get to 'linger with the fertilily' and then it's my turn lol. I wash enough bloomin towels without adding more to the mix 🤣.

@TheBirdintheCave aw I'm so happy all is going well with you hun. Excited to see what the digi shows in a few days 🥰 xx

TheBirdintheCave · 29/11/2022 20:50

@FfayeN It had better say 3+ or I'm sure I'm going to get myself in a flap 😂

@mummatara My son also didn't nap today and was a little terror this evening 🙄 I dread the days the childminder takes him to the farm.

...

I saw a scan pic of my baby niece or nephew today :D Very pleased for my SIL and brother as they had a MMC in April too. She's nearly 14 weeks now and due in June. It will be brilliant to have someone to share maternity leave with this time 😬

pangolin84 · 29/11/2022 21:09

Thanks everyone 😊 Funny how every time I’ve got a line I’ve been progressively less excited - this time my brain was just “oh there’s a line” but no emotion at all…. Could have been happening to somebody else. This is my 5th pregnancy and really hoping it gives us baby no. 2.
@mummatara believe it or not I don’t have any FRERs in stock 😂 only a CB digital weeks indicator and won’t be using that until AF is due on Saturday. Might just do another cheapy on Thursday to see if it gets any darker. I wasted so much money on FRERs with my chemical last time 🙈

FfayeN · 29/11/2022 21:20

@TheBirdintheCave I have every faith it will!!

@pangolin84 I hear ya!!! I am the same now. It's sad but it's our coping mechanism and totally normal. 😂😂😂 only internet cheapies in stock...what a cracking phrase. Maybe the next thread will be: POAS addicts: The internet cheapies series 🤣🤣🤣

OP posts:
MrsCristianoX · 29/11/2022 21:36

@FfayeN maybe 'POAS addicts -the IC series (except one step because who knows what the line means' mmm bit of a mouthful maybe stick to yours 😆

FfayeN · 29/11/2022 21:38

@MrsCristianoX 🤣 who even are these onestep you talk of?! 😂😂😂. Remove them from your stock immediately lol x

OP posts:
MrsCristianoX · 29/11/2022 21:53

@FfayeN 🤣🤣 dickhead me bought at least 50 last month for £4🙄

So raging I booked a weekend away next week with DH to keep 'the magic alive' over fertile period. Or some other crap to get him alone. Miscounted - fertile time is this weekend 😩 and he's working.

Indianna2006 · 29/11/2022 21:54

Look forward to seeing these further test updates!!

I feel a bit deprived of pissing on sticks, how daft is that 🤣🤣 BFN are like a kick in tbe teeth. But the Russian roulette of am I aren’t i is a bit of a mini thrill. For 0.5 seconds until you throw your toys out the pram when it’s bloody negative again 🙈🙈

good luck for FW in few days @MrsCristianoX 😘

@FfayeN hopefully your hcg resumes fastest and a new cycle resumes and no faffing around. Did I see your gonna try again once more naturally and hope for best? 🤞🏼

Not much to update here. Feeling baby girl move about quite a bit now. 20 week Anomaly scan is on Monday. Will be glad to get that done and then perhaps. Ever so slightly perhaps. I am starting to relax. A little.

MrsCristianoX · 29/11/2022 22:07

@Indianna2006 thank youuu!!! Gonna have to pin him down soon 🤣

Aww love little baby kicks💕 until they kick you in the groin 😅

FfayeN · 30/11/2022 07:55

@Indianna2006 I think so: but when I say naturally I mean hopefully with a treatment plan from my biopsy. It's hard to know when we don't yet have a reason for this latest one, just working on a guess it's either another chromosome issue or something that'll hopefully show up on the biopsy 🙏🏼. If all have been chromosomal then odds wise we must get a good one soon surely 😭 xxx

OP posts:
FfayeN · 30/11/2022 07:56

@MrsCristianoX this may make it easier and less pressured, or is he away with work? Takes the pressure off the TWW though, hopefully it'll kill some time to have a little break away xx

OP posts:
MrsCristianoX · 30/11/2022 08:17

@FfayeN no he's not away with work. I don't know I've a bad feeling about this cycle and we haven't even started yet..

bunnykins123 · 30/11/2022 08:54

@MrsCristianoX you're not alone - we all have either noravirus or food poisoning so can't see us having any luck this cycle either. I swear we have the worst luck! DH has also been drinking so much alcohol this holiday, I feel awful telling him to slow down but seriously 😒

TheBirdintheCave · 30/11/2022 18:03

@Indianna2006 Yay for baby kicks! Have you thought of a name for her yet? Ours are chosen so I have to live vicariously through other people's name lists 😂
