Thank you @GeoSmed , it's nice to be heard & understood xx

Completely. I’m sorry to hear about your ectopic. It’s got to be so hard as you were so so close it just fertilised a biiiiit too early in the pipes. Did they say any risks again? Don’t feel you have to answer that. Send luck xx

@GeoSmed
It's meant to be 25 this weekend and all next week where I am😩 I'm already extremely sunburnt from being outside for like an hour and a half a few days ago, I've never burnt so badly so quickly! x

Ah hahaha you are literally me. I burn so bad and so quick. I’ll share a bad pic of my burn from the other year 😂are you blonde too? I’m horrific. My skins basically see through if I don’t put fake tan on. X

@GeoSmed my legs are the worst part! Keep having to take pain meds as can't even lay under a blanket without extreme pain🤣x

chlx3 · 26/05/2023 20:04

@GeoSmed
I'm naturally a dark blonde but recently dyed my hair dark brown! Just found out I'm anemic again too but dr. Google tells me that doesn't cause me to burn as quick as I did! But of course it says early pregnancy does so again it's just getting my hopes up🤣🤣 probably doesn't help that I only drink like 3 pints of water a day🥲xx

dabs9 · 26/05/2023 20:16

Oh my god girls! Keep yourselves protected this weekend!! Where is it you are @chlx3 ? Super jealous of the heat you're getting! It's highs of 18 here which I'm thrilled with hahaha.

@GeoSmed how long have you been using the ovulation meds? And how long will you be on them for before next steps if you don't mind me asking? (Not that it will come to next steps... you'll be preggers before that! 💕). I just find it so interesting.

So funny having to sign a form to not have sex! 😅 bizarre, but I understand why. Although I wouldn't mind a set of twins and leave it at that hahah.

@Favofit I'm so sorry about your ectopic. Is it true that your one remaining tube can move between ovaries each month so it catches the egg from whichever side? That's something I was told once and it amazed me but never known if it's actually true or not! Xx

chlx3 · 26/05/2023 20:18

@dabs9 south west uk, Wiltshire. It's meant to be so hot so I'm going to have to hide inside 🤣 don't want to burn anymore 🥲x

Yeah I bet it's varied. Are they all similar industries or totally varied? I do like in house yeah, I did agency for a bit, but I find in house I can truly know the brand and tone of voice etc is so easy cuz it's all everything you live and breathe, rather than dipping in and out of different company TOV and style etc. Would you move to a specific type of company or just anything in house? And yeah my dnd is literally on all the time! I just looked at my teams notification and their were 7 and I just was like la la la la can't see anything la la la.

Awww you're super kind! you won't be on AF as you're part of the TWW cult so y'all all fine! And yes I love a podcast. Have you listened to Big Fat Negative? IT's so class and super relatable. 2 women from london area and they're awesome. https://open.spotify.com/show/0tikAyqenCJsaTBwxzlaxg

Recommend going back a few tho so that get to know them more and stuff. The infertile midwife is a good one! xx

Haha yes, little mumsnet cult babies 🤣 that reminds me of the stone circle and Glastonbury, I love watching that stuff. Oh bless you, yes I'm exactly the same. I get too upset if my hopes for the cycle are dashed so early. Tests are so freakin expensive!

Totally varied clients but tbf I've been working mostly on one for the past year, you're right it helps to know the TOV inside out etc. I fancy going back to travel (my previous agency was travel) or education / the NHS because of the benefits! Haha I love it. You're just too busy 😉

You know what, I've only listened to the most recent mini series, so that's a good shout! I follow The Infertile Midwife on Insta and she's a diamond, I didn't really realise she had a podcast!? So sad her 9th cycle failed 😔

LeopardLover · 26/05/2023 20:43

@GeoSmed I love the follicle lesson, thank you! Absolutely fascinating! I don't think you want 19 of those bad boys releasing 🤣 Twins would be dreamy though. One of my best friend's has twins and they are a dream compared to my wild one. 😅 I'd still love twins, my husband wanted them first time round but I think he'd faint. Very unlikely with us!

LeopardLover · 26/05/2023 20:45

@chlx3 Oh you poor thing! Get some pure aloe vera on that. I'm not far away in Bristol! I also burn really easily because I have an Irish complexion 🙈 now I cover myself in factor 50 🤣

LeopardLover · 26/05/2023 20:50

@dabs9 Omgosh, yes! Obsessed with True Crime podcasts. Loved Serial and S-Town! Not strictly true crime but Believe in Magic and Sweet Bobby are great ones too. Will check out the other you recommended - thanks!

@emmatcc1 Oh I totally forgot about antihistamines and pregnancy. I didn't take any while I was pregnant or breastfeeding, but I'd take them in my TWW if I needed to. Pretty sure there are some that are pregnancy safe, I just never needed any. Sorry that isn't much help!

dabs9 · 26/05/2023 20:57

@LeopardLover oooh I've never heard of Believe in Magic but will give that a go next. Loved Sweet Bobby also! I've listened to loads of Crime Junkie episodes, I like them but they don't go into enough depth for me 🤣

I'm the opposite to you guys, I have a medium skintone and I have to lay out in the sun for ages before I get much of a tan. My husband on the other hand with his Scottish skin ends up looking like a drumstick squashie even looking at the sun! 🤣

Gosh, 9 failed cycles of IVF? That petrifies me honestly. Does it make you anxious following that sort of account? I used to follow a few on tiktok and insta but ended up blocking them because it made me feel too anxious and obsessive about everything. X

LeopardLover · 26/05/2023 21:11

@dabs9 It's a new one! I binged it 😅 Oh I'm not sure I've heard of them - I looove detail too. My favourite podcast is Shaken & Disturbed but I've been following them for years since their previous podcast, so I'm committed 🤣 I actually love most of the cbc podcasts, especially Someone Knows Something.

Jealous of your glorious skintone 🤣

I can understand why you (& many others) would feel that way. It's inspiring to me - knowing there are women out there preserving no matter what! Also really educational. There's so much heartbreak though. Sophie has been through a lot! She lost her twins, but eventually took home a beautiful baby boy! Now she's trying again. It must be even harder when you are a midwife!

I did unfollow a bunch of fitness influencers though, it just made me depressed haha.

dabs9 · 26/05/2023 21:24

@LeopardLover uh you've given me so much to listen to! I've been craving a new podcast since the first season of serial finished but have never found one I liked as much hahaa.

I just looked on her Instagram there and oh my goodness that poor woman! She has really been through utter shit. It does inspire me to see how strong and determined people can be, I just think my anxieties take over a little.

I am actually a midwife and although I haven't been through anything close to what she or a lot of other people have, even just ttc and struggling is bloody hard work some days when surrounded by bumps and babies xx

@LeopardLover are you on about Sophie on BFN / infertile midwife? It’s awful with her twins and losing them. And the infertile midwife I couldn’t cope listening to that. Especially the round of IVF when they had no embryos to transfer. Broke me 😔 yeah nhs would be good and full year mat pay too 😂 tbf my place has quite good mat pay. Wayyyy better than stat!! Does yours? @Amy95 be nice for you too as your work are like a family 🤍
follicle stimming is fascinating but it’s tiring. The amount of hormones can make you a bit mental at times. I cried cuz I got stuck in my jeans with my foot through a rip 😂 then went mental at my hubs telling him he wouldn’t understand. And he was like well yeah obvs I’m male I don’t have ovaries. Twat 😂.

@dabs9 haha no of course I don’t mind. It’s nice that you’re interested 🥰 appreciate it. We have said we’ll do 4 / 5 rounds of this then move to ivf if no luck. This is #3 🤞 in good news tho, we got our IVF funding approved today and it’s sat ready for us to use when we want to 🥹and I’m like you @LeopardLover - it gives me hope those girls keep going and get there in the end. Makes me and all of us think it’s not ‘if’ it’s ‘when’ 🥰🤍 xx

Favofit · 26/05/2023 22:27

@GeoSmed thank you, the doctors I've pretty much said future conception chances were only lowered by 10%. At the time I remember looking at the scan and asking if they could only move little bean along to the right place and they told me things didn't work like that. Staying hopeful xx

@dabs9 yes apparently that's what happens, I had no idea how much they moved . Our bodies so amazing things xx

Amy95 · 27/05/2023 07:18

Morning ladies , I feel so dizzy today I lost my footing when I went to the toilet and fell , not sure if I'm coming down with something xx

@GeoSmed Yes, that Sophie! 💔 She's so strong 💪🏻 Haha lucky you, mine is stat 😫 As you can tell I'm drawn to benefits 😅 Gosh, that sounds really intense re hormones. You are such a devoted mum-to-be, going through all that ❤️ YES for IVF funding approval 👏 hopefully you won't need it but that's awesome. Yes! It's definitely 'when' 😊

@dabs9 Ah, yes. That first season of Serial 👌🏻 I will say I enjoyed Season 3 but it was completely different. Up and Vanished was a thrill because they started to help solve to crime in real time 😅

Oh you are? Incredible! You do the most important job 🥰 I can't imagine how difficult that is for you too, I'd be absolutely obsessing. I miss my bump every time I see a pregnant woman 😅 I loved being pregnant. But, as discussed above, it's just a case of 'when' not an 'if'. 😊

Unfortunately no brunch for me, think that's @GeoSmed 😊 but we are having a BBQ today so I'm off to grab food soon. My toddler woke me up at 6.30 (it's different when you choose to wake up early haha😫). what are your plans? X

Not tmi at all - kinds the name of the tread sooooo 😂😉 don’t worry so much. TMI doesn’t E cost with girls. My mates know all about my bowel movements 😂 heavy boobs is good tho! I know it doesn’t feel it but it is. Are you feeling less sick and dizzy now? Have you had any food? I shall report back after. Nah I have good vibes for you honestly. You testing tomoz or Monday? I’d do Monday Jusy so you’re not too didsapointed if it’s too early and not showing yet. But that’s coming from mrs day 8 tester cuz I got impatient 😂 x
