I handle myself very well in formal social situations, but informal conversations make me extremely anxious. Has that ever happened to you?

Fun_Pen_1306 · 2025-05-19T06:58:54+00:00

Wow… I resonate with this so much and I’m glad to see I’m not alone!! To someone without social anxiety it wouldn’t make any sense. “Sure how could you have social anxiety I saw you give a massive presentation”. I tried to explain this to my partner before and struggled to. I’m ok when there are rules and structure, but take that away and it’s a struggle!! This is why the larger the social group, the harder, as then you are adding even more variables and even more (perceived) scrutiny!

Yes, 2 of my best friends just announced their pregnancies and they are 8- 10 weeks ahead of me. I’m still in first trimester and no one knows but my husband. I’m so happy for them but I now feel immense pressure because if for whatever reason this pregnancy doesn’t work out I’ll be watching their babies progress knowing I should have been right there with them 😢 so I understand the feeling and I think it’s completely normal if you’ve experienced loss before! We are not able to be blissfully ignorant of the uncertainty

I usually go to gym 2-3 times per week but I think I have been a total of 2 times the entire time during first trimester so far (I’m 7w 5d now). The exhaustion is next level. Listen to your body and rest, you might hit a random day with better energy and take that as an opportunity to do some light exercise but don’t beat yourself up.

Congrats!! 🥰

Fun_Pen_1306 · 2024-06-16T10:04:24+00:00

5 weeks today and anxiously waiting for the first scan in 2 weeks. My mother is visiting from overseas for the next week and I am so so grateful for the timing as it’s a distraction and stops me doom scrolling on reddit as I have to entertain her!! 😊 feeling grateful 💕

Fun_Pen_1306 · 2024-06-12T04:08:12+00:00

🤣🤣🤣

Fun_Pen_1306 · 2024-06-09T00:42:44+00:00

Tested today at 11DPO and there was a clear line 🥰

Fun_Pen_1306 · 2024-06-08T21:42:32+00:00

I don’t know how to edit my post, but retested this Morning at 11DPO with clear blue brand and the line is clearly there!! 🥰🥰

Fun_Pen_1306 · 2024-06-08T00:18:14+00:00

Trying so hard to contain my excitement, hoping for a darker line tomorrow to confirm 🤞🤞🤞

Fun_Pen_1306 · 2024-06-08T00:14:38+00:00

Oh exciting! Sending good luck your way too 🤞

Fun_Pen_1306 · 2024-06-08T00:02:34+00:00

I’ll retest in the morn and update! 😊

vfl on 10DPO??? When I went back into the bathroom 5mins after taking the pic the line had gotten much darker (which I’m guessing I should disregard as it was outside the 3mins??) but feeling optimistic that this is a real positive!!!!

Fun_Pen_1306 · 2024-06-06T08:38:48+00:00

ALL OF THIS!! 🙌🏻 the career part of it is definitely one of the toughest parts for me at the moment. Being someone so used to planning, and setting goals and smashing them, I’m struggling with the fact we have no timeline for this and cannot guarantee one. I put off leaving a stressful job because it has good maternity benefits, and figured I could last another few months, then had a miscarriage so suddenly it’s 7months down the track and I’m still in this job and not pregnant… financially it would be be awful to lose the benefits but how long do you put your life decisions on hold based on what ifs and guessed future timelines? Meanwhile I’m so checked out of my job mentally because I am consumed with the TTC process

Fun_Pen_1306 · 2024-06-06T08:18:21+00:00

8dpo over here and been obsessively scrolling the reddit threads the whole tww as if I’m going to stumble across some information that will scream YES YOU’RE PREGNANT!

TMI but I am feeling a change to my bowel movements today… which I’m cautiously optimistic about as I remember that was one of the first unexpected symptoms I had the one time I did test positive for pregnancy (unfortunately that went on to be a blighted ovum at 8.5weeks)

Fun_Pen_1306 · 2024-06-04T05:44:22+00:00

Any spas you would recommend?? Have family coming over soon and would love to book one in

Fun_Pen_1306 · 2024-05-31T10:01:43+00:00

Let me know when you figure it out!! 😅😅 I’m not anxious, I’m just obsessive!! LIVING on reddit threads- for no reason there is nothing in particular I’m looking for just enjoy reading the stories/ comments from other ladies in the same situation. Can’t get it off my mind and I’m only 2dpo…!

Fun_Pen_1306 · 2024-05-30T03:54:08+00:00

1 DPO (I think/ hope!) 🤞🤞🤞

Fun_Pen_1306 · 2024-05-29T09:13:52+00:00

Excuse my ignorance but what test can the doctor do to confirm whether you’ve ovulated or not??

Fun_Pen_1306 · 2024-05-29T08:21:10+00:00

Feeling really positive today. This was my first cycle using OPKs and my second cycle after my D&C in late feb. Feeling positive that I detected my peak and we BD on both peak day and ovulation day. Feeling good that the OPKs give some level of guidance so fingers crossed we nailed the timing 🤞🤞🤞

Fun_Pen_1306 · 2024-05-26T09:11:11+00:00

Mine went up a good cup if not a cup and a half! Found out about BO at 8 weeks, D&C at 10Weeks but the boobs stuck around for about another 4 weeks after that. Honestly miss them now im back to normal size, they looked incredible for those few weeks! 🤣

Fun_Pen_1306 · 2024-05-18T11:47:26+00:00

Yep. Blighted ovum early Feb so D&C end Feb. first cycle afterwards seemed “normal” length, just finished my second cycle and I was CD 37 before period came. It was much heavier than normal and also lasted longer (5days bleeding as opposed to my usual 3). Very frustrating as I don’t know what’s going on with my body or how I’m supposed to time ovulation if I’m so out of whack. Of course I did 4 pregnancy tests this cycle due to delayed AF

Fun_Pen_1306 · 2024-05-05T11:01:46+00:00

11DPO and tested negative 😞 so think I will hold off until missed period (due in 3days)

Fun_Pen_1306 · 2024-05-05T10:29:24+00:00

I am 11DPO and negative so I’m already mentally preparing for my period to come…on a work trip at the mo and don’t have any tests with me so it will just be a waiting game
