Merry Christmas to you all ladies ❤️

My cousin just announced her pregnancy on facetime & I burst into tears 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️ I am so super happy for her.. But obviously it's knocked the wind out of me a bit!
Am I totally awful for that? 🙈🙈 feel horrendous😑

Hope everyone enjoys today 🎄❤️

No your not, it's very normal, I burst out crying when my sister told me my other sister was pregnant delighted for her, was also delighted that I heard it before she told me as had time to process it....its hard when your not getting what you want....

LuceNumberTwo · 26/12/2023 07:20

Thanks for replying 💕 honestly it just felt like a massive punch to the gut.. She's also only 7 weeks along, in my head I'm like god you've no idea how early that is. Like I'm sure/hope everything will be fine but I'd never ever wish upon anyone what I've/others ladies have been through, I knew nothing about it until I went through it myself 🥺 they were really understanding because they all know, also her sister is like my closest friend! But other women are going to get pregnant around me! It's something I'll have to brace myself for!
Anyway sorry for waffling! I got my Static smiley today woohoo! We've been going for it this month🤞 I've got until the 8th till I go back to work so still some time to rest & chill 😍

Hope you are all well 💕

@LuceNumberTwo Morning, hope you had a lovely Christmas!! Sometimes its hard when other people are falling and youre trying, I have a friend in the same position who gets so upset everytime she hears someone elses news which is completely normal and your feelings are valid!! Also its crazy how early people tell, I think if youve never had anything go wrong you expect it to always be okay. (Fingers crossed it always is anyway)

Glad you got your 🙂 im waiting for mine. Still on flashing ones and also im really not sure as last month I got it twice. Just continuting to dtd as and when no pressure. Lovely being busy and not stressing about it too x

LuceNumberTwo · 26/12/2023 07:50

@H938 Morning! 😊 I had a lovely day thank you, hope you did too!
Yeah, seeing babies etc usually makes me feel a bit down but I just wasn't prepared for this 🙈 anyway! It will be nice by the by to have another wee one to cuddle & spoil 🥰

Ahh! Do you use first morning wee? I had taken 2 tests until I read its best to use it, although other tests say 2nd morning. Conflicting info at its best 🙈 hoping you get your Static & don't have to be confused like last time! Just throws everything totally out.. Is it just the digital your using? I'm using cheapies which are still showing as low. Today's is alot darker, but I feel as though the premom app takes really bad quality pics because they've been getting progressively darker! I just don't know 🙈🙈🤦‍♀️ x

I am joining from the December ttc group if that’s okay x

H938 · 26/12/2023 08:35

@LuceNumberTwo I use first or second. Im sure it will show, im CD 12 today so the app is putting ovulation at CD 17 like last month but I deffo dont ovulate on CD 17 each month as im 26 days usually so I reckon between 12-14. I will aim for that and also just go for around day 17 aswell and hope for the best 😅. I dont want to get into the tww and be stressing, I hope I can be chilled like now. X

@EmmPCOS Hi! I honestly felt nauseous but I've had that flu that is going around. But low and behold I went to the toilet last night an AF had arrived. I think that made me 11 days late. Its been a horrible few weeks but at least now I can try again. I think I might start using the ovulation tests. Can I just ask how long you have had PCOS?

SlinkMcSlink · 26/12/2023 20:32

@EmmPCOS how did you find out you had pcos? X

EmmPCOS · 26/12/2023 20:34

@Christmasfairy34 I've had PCOS diagnosed since 2014 but had PCOS symptoms for about 6 years prior when I was 18.... I was just never taken seriously 😞

EmmPCOS · 26/12/2023 20:35

@SlinkMcSlink I had a junior doctor mention it in my 6th year of going to the Drs with the issues.... I had bloods done, internal scan and external exam... think it's easier for adults to get it diagnosed but I was 18 at the start of it all and it took years 😞

SlinkMcSlink · 26/12/2023 20:38

@EmmPCOS eugh. It’s terrible how much you have to fight for support.

EmmPCOS · 26/12/2023 20:40

@SlinkMcSlink it really is! I'm just glad I saw a junior doctor because not one single person mentioned it in 6 years... although my poor sister went to the Drs again as a teen and she has mentioned about my PCOS and said she thought she had it - they told her she was too young (she was 18) she kept going, kept saying the same thing and she developed diabetes from it because she's got insulin resistant PCOS and she's quite bad with the symptoms - worse than me 😞

H938 · 27/12/2023 09:12

@LuceNumberTwo ohh just got my static smiley. So this month we are the same!! Hopefully we can hold out the testing together too x

LuceNumberTwo · 27/12/2023 09:24

@H938 I was actually just typing out a message to you!! Was wondering if you got your Static! Eeeek! That's exciting, my thoughts is to try wait it out until the 8th.. I have no tests in the house, do you have any? When is AF due for you? Mines is the 8th
So hoping it goes quickly🤞🤞🤞
How are you doing? Hope you've enjoyed Christmas! Any plans for new year?

Anyone else around the same dates etc? Hope everyone's doing OK 💖

PeekABoo22 · 27/12/2023 10:16

Joining this thread! Trying for number 2! We are only just starting our TTC journey! 🙏🤞

starryx · 27/12/2023 10:46

Morning all,
Again sorry I've been so inactive on this chat!
I've 1/2dpo but for some reason I have just this feeling...maybe this is the month I've finally done it???
Might be going insane but something feels just so right?
<3
Fingers crossed

How's all your journeys going??

SlinkMcSlink · 27/12/2023 11:30

Im on CD 5…..at least AF is ending!! Anyone else around the same?

PeekABoo22 · 27/12/2023 11:41

@SlinkMcSlink I'm the same but my cycles are 30 - 32 days long, not the standard 28!

SlinkMcSlink · 27/12/2023 11:47

Me too!!! Last one was 31 days. When do you normally ovulate? X

ohpoowhatnow · 27/12/2023 11:57

@starryx fingers crossed for you!! Hope you get youe BFP. Will you hold out for the two weeks?

@LuceNumberTwo im deffo not testing - I have only got a digital so I would need to wait until im late to even use it. Im due on 10th so you will be testing before me!! No plans for NYE what about you? I dont love it, I never make it to midnight 😂. X

LuceNumberTwo · 27/12/2023 15:44

@H938 ohh! Should I try to hold off? I don't know what to do.. I really wish I could wait the 2 weeks after missing a period, but it's so difficult 🤣🤣
Nah we don't do much for new year either. I'm not drinking, really put myself off alcohol the other week! Usually asleep before midnight 🤣🤦‍♀️

@starryx You know something I really bloody hope so for you hun 🤞🤞 I also actually feel something for this month too, I also keep having things about twins pop up, dreams, etc 🙈 I'd love twins! I'd love anything but I've always loved the thought of twinnies! 💖

H938 · 27/12/2023 16:13

@LuceNumberTwo just keep busy and try and hold out. I reckon I am ovulating today/tomorrow (not that I know but been a bit crampy) so going to keep dtd for a week and hope for the best! Been taking my vitamins so not much more I can do 🫠. I have actually drunk all over Christmas but I will probs not drink now too x
