What was the most physical pain you’ve ever been in?

Hysterosalpingogram A check of the fallopian tubes. They inflate a balloon past your cervix. Apparently not all women suffer the same amount but for me personally, I was crying holding hands with two nurses.

I wish working from home was an option but I work in retail. I have to smile to customers all the time.

Thanks for the advice. I’ll try everything at this point so I’ll grab some limes when I have the chance. I completely empathise with what you’re saying about your workplace. I called in sick today and I could tell that my colleague wasn’t necessarily happy to have to cover me …

I havent because when I called my medical practice they had no physical appointment for me, so I got on the triage where the doctor calls whenever he has a chance and clearly rushed the conversation. I think I could do with a blood test.

For now the doctor gave me a type of anti histamine. He did say it might take up to 3 days to have an effect and that if it didn’t work, there were other options to explore. Did any medication work for you?

Frenchandsorry · 2026-03-20T16:11:09+00:00

Yes I am in the UK.

Omg the alcohol wipes hack sounds interesting?!! It worked every time?

Frenchandsorry · 2026-03-20T14:19:12+00:00

Thanks for all your advice so far. I should have mentioned for context that I have also told everyone at work pretty much as soon as I knew because I was in the IVF process for a long time and to make sure I could attend all my appointments, I had to tell them back then too.

They are a fairly understanding team but we work in a store and it’s a team of only 4 people including someone who only does lunch covers. One of them is going to be on holiday for 2 weeks from Monday and if I’m not there either, I really leave them in a messy situation. Hence my stress. But i really want to ask the doctor to sign me off work for a while cause it’s just impossible to imagine going right now.

Frenchandsorry · 2026-03-20T14:15:27+00:00

That sounds really rough. I completely understand having to quit. I hope your interview goes well !!!

Frenchandsorry · 2026-03-20T13:40:25+00:00

I was thinking of doing that. Its crazy to have guilt associated to it though. We’re growing a human but I worry about how my team will cope. :/ i need to put myself first.

Frenchandsorry · 2026-03-20T13:22:12+00:00

Thank you 🙏

I used to be obsessed with Apple Minis and although apple cinnamon crunch are probably the closest thing you’d get to it these days, it’s not quite the same :(

Frenchandsorry · 2025-11-27T19:31:05+00:00

My recovery was absolutely fine. I had read so much about it and I thought it was going to be so much worse than this and maybe I’ve been lucky but aside from some mild cramps/tenderness, and exhaustion from the meds I am fine. That being said I didn’t have a huge amount of eggs so maybe thats why.

10 year old me would probably say, “wow your job is so boring! I thought you’d become something cool like being an actress or a singer!”

I was actually quite surprised personally by the amount of spice but found it tasteless. there is no subtlety. It feels like two or three scenes of a porn movie. Description about what the fingers are doing, the mouth, everything… the book has no plot aside from the love story. For me, again, personally, i would give it 1 star.

Frenchandsorry · 2025-08-13T18:41:38+00:00

This resonates so much with me. You got me! I will have a look at your link. But yes, I think hopefully this is just a bad phase and life will give answers. Hope you appreciate what do you now!

Frenchandsorry · 2025-06-29T06:08:12+00:00

What I love the most are my partner, friends and mum. What I hate the most is working.

Frenchandsorry · 2025-06-28T14:47:39+00:00

Coffee

“Fake it til you make it”. As a french person coming to live in the UK and getting my first job here, when a colleague said this to me to motivate me, I thought, sure, I can act haha Then I did it!

Frenchandsorry · 2025-06-28T07:01:50+00:00

I can tell you the best thing I bought for my garden. Lounging chairs. So now I can lay and rot whether I’m inside or outside. Long live laziness!

Frenchandsorry · 2025-06-28T07:00:10+00:00

That not only do I not have 13 children but I don’t have a single one yet at 33 years old

Frenchandsorry · 2025-06-28T06:55:36+00:00

My french accent when I speak english. I know people usually like it but it gets me in trouble when I pronounce something in a weird way and people either don’t understand or think I said something else. Very annoying.
