@GeoSmed but 10 months also feels like forever🥲 I'm due tomorrow or Thursday so just really hoping it doesn't arrive! My cycles are usually 31-34 days and this one is predicted 34 so today is CD 33 so probably getting period tomorrow. Just spoke to the doctors and they want me to go in and get some swabs done? What does this mean? Like and sti test? Because I've only been with my partner for the last 2 years so I'm going to be heartbroken if that's what they test for and it's +. I'm still convinced it's endometriosis but she said she doesn't think it is although I have every symptom x

Ahaha. Can you imagine. I guarantee I go on about how I want to be pregnant and joke about twins but actually being pregnant I’m gonna be one of those women who think they’re dying when pregnant and everything is the worst and total drama. I can just see it now. I’ll be like mouse Jusy fat and hormonal.

ah haha yeah tbf, to say I’m 34, I look 26 (apparently 😏) and act 12 😂 fingers crossed she’s lovely and it goes okay today. Do you work remote or in office? Wow that dreamy. I’d love to work for travel or aldi randomly! Their marketing team are so creative. Come work for me we have an events role vacant atm 😂 be surrounded by geeky cyber techs - what’s not to love 🤔good luck anyway. Hope she’s lovely.

awww are you Irish then? Or do you just look Irish? Your husband sounds dreamy. Swap? 😂 js he naturally tanned? Well, my household is like a sunshine disaster waiting to happen. I’m really fair with white hair and skin that I’m pretty sure is just tracing paper. Husband is fair and bungle, tho it’s more strawberry blonde these days, but weirdly does tan. But also burns. So it’s factor 50 club here. He went on a stag few weeks ago and came back just bright red 😂 yeah I defo think that’s freaky! Does Adolf look more like you now he’s older? Xx

My pal's twin pregnancy was a breeze so you never know haha. 🤣

I'm the same, act 12 hahha. I'm always shook when people are my age and look way older! Although having a kid has added 5 years. 👵🏻 Thanks! I work three days, so normally in for two and at home for one. But this week I'm at home for two! Events sounds like too much hard work for me but thanks hahha 😉

I have Irish grandparents! Haha, my husband is African with lots of European heritage too, his parents are mixed etc. Haha I'm with you. but actually we all use factor 50 haha. Yes! He looks more like me by the day, BUT he's got his own nose which cracks me up.

Temp dropped this morning so I’m out and not even gonna test.

That's what I was thinking too. Mine dropped by 0.2 so don't think there's any point testing tomorrow as period will probably arrive 🫠x

Yeah I know it's easier to say 'only 10 months' but when you're in it those months feel like years. We've been stuck in limbo for 2 years as we couldn't even get going as I wasn't having a cycle or ovulating!
Generally post sex bleeding is because of something. Have you had your smear recently? Or sometimes some people do all the time (me included) But it could also be an infection / virus. When are you going in?

dabs9 · 30/05/2023 10:38

@GeoSmed yeah higher BMI is always their answer lol. They've been massively unpredictable and irregular since around December time, I went through an extreme stressful period around October time for about 6 months so I personally think it's due to that.
I do worry about pcos but the Dr seems sure it isn't that so I'm trying to trust the pro hahah.

Have you done IVF in the past? I'm just really scared of having to do it. I really don't want to at all (as I'm sure most people don't) but I think it's going to be our only chance (husband has low sperm morphology so I think that is having a big impact on us not conceiving, regardless of the Drs saying it shouldn't impact natural conception. Have read so many articles giving conflicting information).

Omg 3! I hope no more start juicing up hahaha. At what point do they tell you there are too many dominant ones to proceed?
How do you find injecting yourself? I think I'd struggle. So silly as I inject people every day at work but I think it's totally different when it's doing it to yourself haha. Xx

chlx3 · 30/05/2023 10:39

@GeoSmed I have an appointment tomorrow for swabs and urine test to see what's going on because I've never had this happen before. I've seen online that a lot of women who implanted late get bad cramps after sex before they get a bfp around 16dpo and period is due tomorrow but no signs of it. The cramping stopped after the bad ones last night. Now just feeling bloated, nauseous and tired and my boobs feel a lot bigger and heavier😩 and weirdly I'm in a good mood this week, I'm usually a mess the few days before my period so will just have to wait and see if my period arrives tomorrow🙄x x

dabs9 · 30/05/2023 10:42

I'm so sorry to the people with temp drops and AF arriving! Hope you're all ok.

I will probably sound like a lunatic but a while back I started buying a "positivity purchase" on the first day of every cycle to try and give me a mood boost and a bit of hope. Might help some and be totally the wrong thing for others but I buy a little baby item with a vision of using it for my own baby some time in the (hopefully near) future.
If we never conceive then our friends and family will get some vvv special gifts for their babies 😅 xx

That's good that they've got you in so soon! Are you still having bleeding or has it stopped? That sounds promising about the implantation and the sex causing bleeding when you're pregnant. I've done some googling and it is common for newly pregnant people to have it. It sounds exciting! Are you going to test tomorrow or you going to see what happens tomorrow with AF and test Thurs>

chlx3 · 30/05/2023 10:51

@GeoSmed I had the smallest bit of spotting about a week ago after sex and the tiniest bit of brown discharge in the morning about 5/6 days ago. I keep reading good things about my symptoms but also people saying they got their period a few hours later😬 if I don't get my period by tonight then I'll still test in the morning as due period tomorrow but I just have this feeling it's going to come a few days late just to irritate me🤣 I feel completely fine now and not like I'm about to get my period. I'm really hoping I'm not just being delusional but it definitely has an effect on you after so long of trying!🥲🤞🏼 x x

Your friend sounds like she's not an absolute wimp like me, that's why! 😂I hope your theory works. Or that I get pregnant... I'm talking about these twins like they're a dead cert!

Yeah I know what you mean. I think people who wear a lot of make up look wayyyyyy older. I don't really wear any, but that's cuz I have my lashes and eyebrows done! Oh nice that you're home 2 days this week. Are you in today? And yeah f**k events - that's why it's vacant! 😆

Aww wow I bet adolf has wonderful skin, and your husband. You two could not be anymore opposite right! I bet he has such clear skin. Awww hopefully he's got your husbands booty though 😂My niece has a killer bum from her dad as he is mixed race. very envious!!

I'm one of the ones who normally spot just before there af arrives Hun , try not to be so hard on yourself 🥰 it takes so many people TTC a long time to get a bfp , so just try to stay positive, I find trying not to worry about every symptom because the mind is very powerful and it will totally stress you out which can delay af ive had that so many months xx

@Amy95 hope you're feeling ok today. Sometimes we need to just have a cry and let our emotions out to be able to pick ourselves up and carry on.
I was the same yesterday, started the day with a cry and today still feeling frustrated but just got to keep going.
Positive for you this month you've figured out the tracking cycles side of things and know for sure you did everything you could ☺️ xx

Omgosh, we are the same person 🤣 although my positivity purchase happened early... At the weekend 🙈 I also bought lots of baby bits years before I had my son! I didn't buy a pram etc until he was 20 weeks though.

Amy95 · 30/05/2023 11:22

LeopardLover · 29/05/2023 21:39

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).

Just reading through and getting back , I was sleeping about 10 ish last night I normally get into bed about 9 ish I love going in early means I finish by 2 🙌😂 I didn't test this morning I'm so proud 😂xx

We must manifest your twins!

I agree!! I don't wear much either. I need my brows done tbf 🤣 na, I'm at home today and tomorrow! Adolf woke me up at 5.45am singing "this is the way we wash our hands". I had no idea he knew that song 😅 I'm tired so glad to be WFH! 😴 Ain't no one got the energy for events haha.

Haha Adolf has the cutest butt! Actually he has my complexion but tans better, thankfully 😅

dabs9 · 30/05/2023 11:32

@LeopardLover ah I love that I'm not the only one! 😂 what was your purchase at the weekend?

A couple of months back I also made a sulking purchase as was like why am I being careful with my money for a baby I don't have?!? Bought myself a v expensive coffee machine and have to admit it's my face purchase this year lol. So a sulky one may become a regular for me too! Xx

@chlx3 Hope you're doing okay! Your symptoms sound so confusing and could point to pregnancy! It's good you have a doctor's appointment. If the results don't point for anything, push for more tests into Endo. From what I've read it's under diagnosed - a close friend has a really bad case and it's just awful! But it hasn't dashed her dreams of being a mum ❤️🥰

dabs9 · 30/05/2023 11:37

Aw @Amy95 I'm so glad you're feeling better. You've been giving me a real boost this month with your positive attitude, I'm glad you're feeling more yourself 🥰
Do you think you'll go to your GP if AF arrives this month? Or try with tracking for another month or so?

This cycle i really don't know. I'm refusing to order any more opk strips because I don't want to become obsessive with it again. I do have some clearblue digitals left so started that again this morning as if I'm starting a new cycle.. just to see if anything is happening with hormones.
But honestly I think I'm just going to do my best at not thinking about what's going on inside me and try to have lots of sex all month in the hope I do eventually ovulate!
I feel tired just thinking about that but I think it's the best option for us.

Have been having almost throbbing pains in my right ovary area the last few days but I've stopped even tracking anything in my app because I cba with the mental torture lol. Xxx

Hahaha I loooove that! Okay, more boujee than me but I bought a Free People dress! To wear before I get pregnant as I know I'll expand quickly 🤣💜
