@dabs9 you can't torture yourself with that being the reason, was it painful to remove? I hope you get some answers soon lovely, sending a hug! X

justanothermummma · 29/05/2023 16:31

@GeoSmed aaah I see, that's so interesting!

Yeah my friend said the prep for ivf was really hard, but it has worked for them, I'm so happy for them!

Yeah I have 2 girls, I'm 28 (just), although I'm going grey!

I'm so ready to have my coil out, awful thing!

Yeah that’s her game plan. Look cute and adorable, then when you’re not looking, get your ankles and puncture them. She’s perfected this tactic and now chases you up the stairs. It’s like an emotional rollercoaster living in my house.

oh nice. Do you know who they are or are they an external?. It’s always so hard when you get a new boss. I had a similar thing when a bunch of people got made redundant and now I have a different director. Do you have some good clients or they all boring ones? 😂 I’ve only done agency once and it was on one account so it was as if I worked in house. Yeah good shout on the testing. I don’t think you benefit from testing early. I always find it never makes you feel good!
But yeah why not if you have cheap ones anyway.

they will do hopefully. And hopefully adolf will be like oh shit THATS how it’s done 😂I love that he wanted to wake up cars whatever that means. Nawww he sounds adorable even if it’s a bit dictatorish.

so scan was good! I had 2 x dominant follicles which all being well, will be the only ones that the injections grow to release. There was about 30 small ones but they were tiny. Like 2mm where as the big ones were 10mm. Anything above a 13mm will be released when they give you the trigger shot, so another few days of stimming and see where we’re at. Very likely we’ll be releasing double egg 😳🥰

This is actually our little dictator's game too. He's got long hair with big curls so looks like butter wouldn't melt. He's always ordering me to carry him into different parts of the house, I think him and Mouse would he great mates 🤣

I was the culture fit check and I'd vetoed someone else. She seems really intelligent and wonderful. But you never know. 😅 The clients at my old agency were better, now I'm mostly on one B2B client. I'm hoping she'll help us win lots of new business though!

Haha, perhaps he'll be a great teenager 🤣 he is frustratingly adorable but also a bit crazy 😅 omgosh, two beautiful ones - perfect for twinnies!

@GeoSmed apart from the rash I feel pretty normal, it's just itchy.

Driving myself insane trying to not to test until Wednesday or Thursday morning!🥲🤍x

@chlx3 whay day are you today? Well I’ll be here till thurs so I can distract you with useless stats and facts, or just talk to you about your favourite food 😂 you got this 🙌

chlx3 · 29/05/2023 19:50

@GeoSmed I'm 11dpo today and due period on Wednesday or Thursday but it's gonna be so hard not to test tomorrow 🤣 getting low on tests but got more coming Thursday 🤣
I love hearing random facts especially about babies and things, I definitely need a distraction 🤣🤍x

Haha kids are f**kers aren’t they? Why do we want them again? 👀 and I’m bloody paying for it too. Christ. Think we’re mentally broken! Yeah reckon she’s hands down rule him tho. She’s a sassy woman with a far too high opinion of herself. Adolf best watch his back 😎

Least you think she’ll fit in with the team / company vibe. How old is she? I find it weird when you have a boss that is younger than you. Yeah where I work it’s only b2b but I’ve only ever worked in that bar 2 companies - one being dulux and one being a nutrition company. But I think I prefer b2b anyway.

he sounds adorable. Especially with long curly locks! Does he get the curls from you? My hair is a white - like, baby white. I must be such a rare case where I still have such blonde hair that I’ve never dyed. But I’ve always wanted brown curly hair! I always think it looks so much more healthy. Haha we’ll see. Hopefully.

Awww it’s so lovely how happy you are for her. It’s really special when someone is successful. I well up when I listen to podcasts of people I don’t know!

yeah it’s a lot of prep mainly nutrition, cutting caffeine, sugar, alcohol, increasing zinc, supplements, sleep, and exercise. It’s very much ‘all in’ when you do it.

awww lovely you have 2! And so young too! That’s beautiful 🥰 are you married? And where are you from? All the questions! I’m not a stalker…. I promise … 👀

I’m sorry @Amy95 i know how it feels and it really cuts deep and you think how can I go again and start another cycle but you can and you will. Hope and determination keeps us going back even if we don’t feel it initially. If you want to rant cry or just moan, drop me a PM and I’ll happily listen. You’re strong and you’re amazing. This was nothing you did just back frickin luck this time. Ultimately that’s a lot of it - jammy buggers 😂 sending love across the country . X

Borkled · 29/05/2023 20:10

Had a lovely sort of sunny bank holiday at 11DPO and don’t even feel like testing!

Think it’s because in my 2 previous pregnancies and last month’s CP I’ve known before the test that it would be BFP and this month nothing so I’m not trying to kid myself. BBT still high but often is until the day AF starts so doesn’t mean anything.

Sorry you’ve had a hard day :(. I really do believe that testing early is bad for MH - I’ve done it myself in the past (TTC number 1 I used to test at 8dpo!) but I always found seeing the BFNs so much worse than AF arriving.

This time round I’m just doing BBT so I don’t stress about whether I’ve actually ovulated and I can see the temp drop on CD1 rather than bleeding. Lose a few hours to FF’s “charts like mine” but that seems a small price to pay.

Hiya I'm only 9dpo but still a huge kick in the teeth I felt so positive this time around , we tried so hard this month aswell plus I tracked ( we've been trying 2 years without tracking ) I can't really do bbt cause my working patterns are different so I'm up at different times every day xx

Honestly 🙈 Hopefully you won't have to pay for anything soon and you get those twins 😉 I'm really not sure, he's quite the diva. It would be a good match 🤣

Yes, which is important! She is younger than me for sure, but I'm very youthful if I do say so myself hahaha. She seems quite mature! Maybe around 30. I used to work for travel brands, that was the dream 😍 except for the agency haha. I used to love community management and creative ideas for travel. SIGH... I think it's all pretty similar tbh, it's always hard to get into B2B when you don't have the experience, then you get in and it all feels super similar. I once missed out on a dream job (not salary wise) at Aardman because I didn't have any B2B experience. Hopefully I'll get another shot there one day 😅 Dulux sounds quite fun?

Oh wow, check out you, Daenerys Targaryen! Your hair sounds amazing. Unfortunately not, I'm very Irish looking with straight dark hair. My husband is mixed, so has tight curls. I was really hoping he'd look like my husband with his green eyes and beautiful complexion... But unfortunately he looks like me just with big curls. 🤣 What does your husband look like? It is so exciting, not knowing how your baby will turn out. You have no idea, so when they pop out it's pretty hilarious... Initially Adolf looked nothing like either of us. If he hadn't been with me the whole time I would've thought they swapped him 😅

LeopardLover · 29/05/2023 20:46

@Amy95 Oh I'm so sorry you cried lots today 😔💔 Honestly, 9DPO is really early! You probably would've had to implant at 6DPO to get a positive at this stage . As @GeoSmed said, some women don't even implant until 12DPO. Really hoping things turn around for you. Sending so much love and hugs xx

I feel this same, which is why I try not to test early. I did it lots when TTC #1 and I just got so down about it, it was much better staying hopeful into the end.

I know it's easier said than done!

I know it's still early 🤞 I'm just in a very dramatic world today 😂 were allowed to be dramatic sometimes like I always say , I really hope it turns around soon 🥰 how are you anyway , I felt terrible leaving you all and just came on to say I'm still here just had a shitty day , I'm back in work tomorrow so that's another thing to keep me positive and kind busy , so when shall I test next cause I won't test until you all tell me to , and that's a promise 🥰xxx

You are certainly allowed to feel dramatic!! I haven't even tested yet but did some retail therapy 🤣

I have zero symptoms at 8DPO. Feels like nothing is happening - so boring! Hoping work tomorrow can also distract me. Do you start work early? You always seem to be about pretty early!

If you want to save heartbreak, I think next test at 12 DPO if you can resist! You have permission to test earlier 🤣xx

Oh I love a bit of retail therapy 🙌 that could be a good thing I hear many women have no symptoms and still get a bfp 🤞 this could be your month I'm rooting for you , yes I'm a early bird I wake about 4.45 in for 6 oh the joys , what time will you start work , so even on weekends I think I sleep till about 7/8 the latest my body clock 😂 no don't give me permission because I'll be testing tomorrow 😂 I may wait 2 more days then I'll definitely know xx

Sealover123 · 29/05/2023 21:30

@Amy95 Aw bless, please don't test so early! Lol ❤️ Easier said than done when you want that BFP so badly. Lots of women don't show as pregnant until 12-13 DPO or more in some cases! It just puts stress and negativity on yourself.

Testing so early is just setting one's self up for "failure", like a horrible self sabotage if it's BFN.

I'm not talking down to you or being harsh, I just hate hearing lovely women being hard of themselves when they are trying with conceive. I pray it happens for you soon! Take care of yourself xxxx

@chlx3 I noticed you got quite a bit of sun the other day, could it be a heat rash??

Sealover123 · 29/05/2023 21:33

My temp is currently 36.9 and I'm normally around 36! As this is our first month TTC after ectopic and now only 1 tube I expect it to take a while - so just trying to stay calm and see what the test says on Friday.

I think I saw another warm lady on here, how everyone's temps???

Thank you! This was me when I conceived my son, other than some cramping but I really want to feel something 🤣

Oh wow, that is early! When do you sleep? Hopefully you're asleep already 😉 I start work at 8.30am but would start it at 7.30 of I could!

Good plan to wait if you can. I'm going to wait until at least 12DPO (Friday).
