POAS: With only the IC in stock...someone help us 🤣

[FfayeN]

You asked for it......😘

@mummatara I totally read that as getting back into riding something else 😂 I can't even blame it on the alcohol! So lovely that you have 12 horses though, I would love to be able to ride a horse.

@MrsCristianoX omg. I did lol at that comment but seriously what the hell! I don't drink enough either - who has time for topping up a water bottle constantly 🙄

@calimc83 happy birthday for tomorrow! Are you back from Gran Canaria now?

@bunnykins123 no one has the time! I'm planning to drink it like a 500ml shot four times a day. I mean I do have shot experience 😂 maybe not 500ml shots

@MrsCristianoX ewww all I can think of now is 500mls of sambuca 🤮

@mummatara ha ha no I totally get that. I spent all my teenage years at the stables. Definitely kept me out of trouble but bankrupted my parents 😂. I took my 2 horse riding for the first time a few months ago and they loved it.,I have visions of me owning land and horses but realistically it's not going to happen! I went for a few lessons at the start of the year for some 'me time' and found it really good for my mental health. Do want to get back into it. Might look at loaning next year 🤔..@bunnykins123 ha ha! A lot of 'riding' has been done by us all on this thread I reckon 😆😆🙈. Thanks, yeah been back a few days. Weather is soo depressing here! X

@bunnykins123 I could go a sambuca now ngl

@MrsCristianoX @bunnykins123 sambuca is my puke drink 🤢 too many in my 20's I can't stomach the stuff

@calimc83 sounds like a good plan sometimes you def just need some you time! Haha there's def been a lot of riding going on unless everyone's lazy like me and makes him do all the work 🤣🤣

@mummatara oh god have you tried kola cube shots? Never again. I nearly died. So off topic for a ttc thread sorry ladies . I'm half attempting OPKs. DH not fully on board with OPKs. I kinda see his point but I'm obsessive so trying to stop 🙈 he thinks if it's meant to be it will happen.

@MrsCristianoX 😂 so off topic but who cares we need to remember all those drinking days to keep us sane 😂 I've never had one but the actually sound like
Something I would order 🙊 ahhh tell him to bugger off if you've only given yourself till March you can do all the obsessive things you want ❤️ had any promising looking ones yet?

@MrsCristianoX agreed - we all need to relive our youth a bit! Anyone remember apple sours? Tasty but lethal! Why would it be down to him if you use opks or not? DH vaguely knows but he doesn't get a say on whether I pee on a stick or not 😂

@mummatara any shot, as soon as one touches my lips, makes me black out the rest of the night. Basically I just stick to wine now. That just makes me reeeeally drunk but at least I remember!

@mummatara a little darker yesterday like 0.7 at CD12 but didn't take today. I kinda felt aches last night but could've just been DTD. I think we left it too late but DH was sick so can't control that x

@MrsCristianoX what is a cola cube shot?! @bunnykins123 I loved apple sours! Anyone remember 'slippery nipples' 🫣 x

@bunnykins123 he doesn't like the 'we must have DTD now' lark. I do sneaky use them but not often. It's tricky at work too but I'll assess tomorrow. The one time we used the clear blue digital we DTD all the flashing smiles and it was an absolute struggle at the end 😢 the flashing went on for daysssss then I got the static and I think I killed his libido 😂

I love apple sours. 500ml no problem 😂

@calimc83 me and my friend had them in Dublin after a take that concert. Literally crawled to the hotel room and slept beside a toilet 🤢 this was years ago and the thought of them now 🤮

@MrsCristianoX 😆😆😆🙈 I had a similar experience in Tenerife after tequila. We had to use our beach towels to mop up the vom 🤢 x

@calimc83 best concert ever though😂I feel like tequila is a good idea at the time but the hangover..the worst 🤣

Ooh apple sourz. I loved those. My fav cocktails or any sort of fav fancy beverage feature apple though. Such a refreshing flavour.

happy new year… 2022 has been the worst year ever. Fuck off 2022!!

And hell yes to Apple sourz and slippery nipples 👍

@LuckyMoonstone Agreed. It can 100% fuck off. It's been an awful year.

Love me an apple sour back in the day 🤣🤣 and WKD blue. God now I seem old! 🙈

@mummatara yes! 2ww. How bloody exciting. Finally. What a mission that was. Good luck lovely.

@MrsCristianoX the flashing smileys on that clearblue are sometimes lethal. I do think they can perhaps add extra pressure. If you miss a day you freak about what if that was THE day. But they’re just easier to use to try get as close to the day before O as possible. As think that’s the best day. Seems to be my lucky day lol

I actually have been trying drink way more water anyway. And do find I feel much better for it. I have a bottle which like has time on side of how much you should have drunk by then. I find that quite useful. Pregnancy has made me thirstier anyway. But the extra water etc helps with the collagens and stretch of the skin. And I am now feeling the stretch. She’s getting big in there.

@bunnykins123 take each day at a time hun. When we have no control the timeframes and what we hope for almost seek unbearable. But ONCE it happens. It won’t matter, it’s becomes less significant. Your just grateful to be pregnant.
but it’s very easy to obssess over the rest whilst you wait. As I know I did. Wish my health had allowed me earlier. Wish I’d of used fertilily earlier etc etc. but it’s drives us mad.
just think of steps ahead. Thinking too far ahead seems very overwhelming when you waiting to mc ☹️😞

@calimc83 hope you enjoyed Tenerife! Bet you are getting tired now. Have you sorted any nursery yet? We need to do something as currently ours is a dumping ground still.

happy new years ladies. Hoping 2023 is all of your years! 🥳🥳

@Indianna2006 oh the blue wkd days 😂 I was surprised not that long ago to find they still sell them 🙈 haha yes a right mission 🙄 but at least it means finally starting over 🤞🏼

1dpo and I'm bored of waiting already 😂 I thought bleeding if we can call it that was stopping yesterday really didn't have much at all then there was a bit there this morning which annoyed me but I just had a cervix check it doesn't feel high or low tbh but as I don't check that often I suppose there's no way of knowing and cm is creamy and not red or pink so I'm wondering if my theory of it getting heavier was do do with having more fertile cm as it seems to be drying up now that O has passed. Opks are back to proper low now. Struggled with my temp this morning I keep waking up coughing so I took it after a long stint but it was 2.30 and was 36.21 so higher but then I also took it at 6.08 and it was 35.99 which is still higher than previous temp but not much but I had woken lots between 2.30 and 6 to cough my guts up so I don't know how reliable either of the temps are really 🙄

Happy new year girls 😘 let's just say the water is going down well today 😅

I keep wondering if the brown cm ever had anything to do with my miscarriages at all 🤔

With the first one we didn't get any kind of heartbeat at all as it never grew beyond six weeks but with this one we did. I was having instances of the brown cm even when everything looked normal at our first scan and we had a confirmed heartbeat.

So... could it just be a coincidence? Maybe something cervical? I wish I had a reason for it so that I could just ignore it in future. I don't like the thought of getting pregnant again and being terrified of it starting it it's actually something benign.

I keep blaming myself and imagining I killed the baby through worrying and anxiety 😭

@TheBirdintheCave you did absolutely nothing to cause this, it’s not your fault at all!

@mummatara I'm weirdly chill for the beginning of my TWW and then go all crazy around 11/12dpo. I think you can only do your best with temping, especially if you're not well. It'll give you a vague idea of what's going on, at least!

@TheBirdintheCave this was not your fault. Worrying and anxiety does not cause miscarriages. The spotting could have been for many reasons and it would have been absolutely nothing you did. Spotting in pregnancy can be absolutely normal too so I wouldn't look too much into that!
