Have you done opks? @emmatcc1 I briefly checked my cervix last year, but realised I could never tell the difference or what is going on up there so stopped.

@Annapolis35 @dabs9 @emmatcc1 woahhhhhh wait a minute... what?! I've not done this and now I'm thinking, should I? How do I? Why do I? Maybe dildo cam does that for me mind you? Mind. Blown. 😳🀯

dabs9 · 06/06/2023 20:23

@GCS34 hahhaha dildo cam 🀣
I check it because I can feel how high up it is, how soft/firm and if it's open at all. And that can give you a rough idea on stage of cycle. I say that... but some months I have no clue regardless. Also helps for checking CM cos you get it from right around the cervix.
I do feel cervixes very frequently and I still found it extremely difficult to figure out on myself but once you get the hang of it it's helpful. Xx

Annapolis35 · 06/06/2023 20:23

Hahahaha @GCS34 I could never make any sense of it so I’m definitely not the best person to ask. I was also a bit scared of introducing an infection even though I washed my hands thoroughly. I think idea is around fertile time your cervix is higher and open. Verdict’s out on if it predicts pregnancy but I did not do it the month I got pregnant so no idea. My body produces quite obvious signs around ovulation so I don’t really need to do it, but some swear by it πŸ€·πŸ½β€β™€οΈ

@A95x if @LeopardLover is having the cool baby you'll be having the laid back beach babe baby!
Exciting about potential ring!! Do you think he might? Definitely enjoy your holiday either way though. My friend once convinced herself a proposal was coming on holiday and so spent the whole holiday waiting and it never came so she came back disappointed and the holiday had totally passed her by. Xx

Hahaha love this. What's mine? The psychic baby (if I conceive in July that is - my suspicion all along!). Yours can be the excuse-for-bad-hairday baby πŸ˜‚ that's not me calling you a tramp btw. Just the prev convo on girls causing you to look rough πŸ˜‚πŸ«£

@LeopardLover your baby is gonna be so cool. I feel like adolf will be the type of kid that wears chinos and cute ass blazers looking suave AF.

Annapolis35 · 06/06/2023 20:26

@dabs9 are you a doctor or nurse? I hope so if you are feeling cervixes quite often πŸ˜‚

🀣 yeah I'm not just some weirdo getting people to let me feel their cervix hahaha. I'm a midwife. X

LeopardLover · 06/06/2023 20:41

@Bubblesandtroubles Hahaha!! πŸ’œ Do you want a boy or girl next or zero preference?

@GCS34 You definitely get the psychic twins πŸ˜‰ I'll take a psychic baby over a cool baby if we get a July one too hehehe. Adolf's wardrobe is πŸ‘ŒπŸ» to be fair. He's usually the best dressed at soft play / in the park πŸ˜‚ his little bro / sis will inherit a cool wardrobe by default!

@dabs9 Fingers crossed you can speed up AF πŸ˜‰ and jealous of your cervix skills haha.

@Sealover123 Welcome! I'm also getting AF pains but mostly achy legs. However, I've waited so long I'm actually okay with it 🀣

@Annapolis35 Glad you're husband is nursing you back to health!

@A95x Fingers crossed there's a reason for that manicure πŸ˜‰ regardless you're going to have the best holiday!

Okay that makes sense but like... how far up do you have to go? I'm gonna leave that job to the medics. I'd loose my wedding ring or something. 🀒
Anyway I hope your sexy time brings period times. As weird as that sounds! X

Oh your baby clothes taste sounds amazing!! I daydream about dressing my baby in the cutest clothes. The things I've bought so far are so neutral which I do love but can't wait to know who I'm dressing. Never been so eager to spend my money!! πŸ˜‚
Don't know about you guys but I have my pram and pregnancy pillow and all sorts picked out! πŸ˜… am I a lunatic or just really desperate?!? Lol. X

dabs9 · 06/06/2023 21:40

@GCS34 to be fair... I wish I hadn't started doing it cos now I'm wondering if I've damaged the bloody thing and that's why all the spotting. So yeah maybe just leave it alone πŸ˜‚
You do sometimes have to go farrr inside.

Thanks for the support with my period induction guys hhahaha x

I don't doubt it at all - he's an absolute lad. I like to think my child will be cool AF and I'll have to politely say 'aww thanks that's cute' to some vom outfit that someone buys and then Just sell it on vinted straight after. Realistically I'll be poor and will send them to playgroup with four different outfits on.

Do you want a boy or a girl, or do you just want anything that is less drama than adolf? πŸ˜‚πŸ«£ xx

Ignore all the typos in that previous post. One eye guiltily watching love island and making myself feel old. X

dabs9 · 06/06/2023 22:03

@GCS34 I'm sure I'm just being irrationally anxious about the cervix thing lol.

No, most of the time it does the opposite and I'm just really eager to see what it all feels like and how I'd cope haha.
Just the stitches part makes me feel queasy.. but only when it comes to myself πŸ˜… it's odd.

I'm a love island viewer too but normally watch the day after on catch up.. OH can't stand it and I'd have nothing but complaining in my ear lol. I feel older and grumpier every season!!

emmatcc1 · 06/06/2023 22:10

@dabs9 I used to obsessively check my cervix multiple times a day and figured it changed a lot throughout the day it could be soft and an hour later it’s rock hard. I did have some brown discharge still earlier that has stopped now and cervix is closed so it was probably that. I check around the same time everyday during fertile week.

@dabs9 I bet it's so magical isn't it? I feel like in my head I'm like ah yeah I'll be fine. I'll totally not feel a thing, but I'm gonna take a guess and say that couldn't be further from reality!! I could grill you about your job all day. I binged watched one born every minute last year and now feel I'm totally qualified πŸ˜‚
The cervix thing has fuelled my google search for the past hour.
LI is so bad it's good but yes I feel old now too! I think molly and Mitchell are actually not badly suited. X

You ladies need your own show! πŸ˜‚ The name of the thread intrigued me so I popped on to try and figure it out, still getting used to all the acronyms and I'm just chuckling away to myself reading this thread! Sounds like me and my friends! Thanks you for the lols! Sending you all lots of baby dust πŸ’—

Bubblesandtroubles · 07/06/2023 06:34

Why was the toddler awake before 5am on the morning it's my turn to get up? Matchsticks for my eyes please..!
I'm going to leave my cervix well alone. Knowing my luck it sounds like an embarrassing trip to A&E to retrieve something just waiting to happen. Fascinating though! Xx

A95x · 07/06/2023 06:38

The ring on the finger is a bit of a joke between us both πŸ˜‚ even though it would be nice πŸ’πŸΌβ€β™€οΈ no pressure on Luke we both really need a break from work , also I've applied for a promotion while I was off 🀞 so hopefully it's good news and we can celebrate πŸ₯³πŸ₯‚

@GCS34 I think if you played a nice soundtrack over it most births would look magical! But sometimes not so much. They're all special tho.
I always think I'd be able to manage in the pool with gas and air but I reckon a few contractions in I'll be all about the epidural πŸ˜‚

@Butterfly2000 welcome to the group! The thread name is to do with our complaints of the dreaded TWW (with a tiny typo) hahaha.

Hope everyone is feeling good this morning. Xx

Yeah I need to stop checking multiple times a day. Need to stick to morning and be done with it. But sometimes the EWCM comes later in the day for me. Will maybe just check it but not touch the cervix.

Bubblesandtroubles · 07/06/2023 07:34

@A95x I cannot imagine being up at that time every morning! She's normally a between 6-7am getter upper which is altogether more civilised to me!
ooh 🀞🀞 for the promotion. Is it much of a change in role or just the same with more responsibility? Xx
