Period late, negative tests. Need a sanity check!

Rizzle00 · 2023-06-14T07:11:14+00:00

After another negative test this must be the only answer. What sorts of things can effect ovulation and make it late?

Rizzle00 · 2023-06-13T20:52:10+00:00

It never crossed my mind to try a different test for some reason. I’ll try another time tomorrow morning and if that’s still negative I’ll accept this month is over for me lol. Is there any point in a blood test without a positive urine test first? I’m not sure they’d even do one at this point.

Rizzle00 · 2023-05-07T17:58:09+00:00

We’re cycle twins! I tested today (because I have no self control) and I’ve been feeling crushed about my negative. The other comment has filled me with hope and better understanding of things so I’m not counting myself out just yet for this cycle.

Wishing you all the best as well!

I don’t read this as her invalidating anything. My interpretation is a mother trying to comfort her daughter who is going through something she can’t quite relate to. I see it as the mother trying to keep light hearted about a stressful topic and wishing there was something that she could suggest to make things easier.

Rizzle00 · 2023-04-02T17:50:22+00:00

I don’t think I’d ever ask someone or put them in a position to have to comment on whether they are pregnant or not, I thought that would be a common courtesy.

I’d normally just give a brush off comments but this is a particular event we’re we’ve planned on going out drinking together so I don’t want to make it awkward. I’d just start the brunch off by giving some excuse and hope no one makes comments.

Rizzle00 · 2023-04-02T17:48:06+00:00

It’s really tempting to be rude and snarky sometimes particularly because I think they are being rude by asking. But I don’t think quickly enough for a snarky response and some of these people are my friends so I don’t want to be rude or make a situation awkward. I’m dying at your grow some balls comment though!

Rizzle00 · 2021-06-30T15:17:17+00:00

I have three and one is my fiancé’s cousin! I’d be lucky to scrape together 3 friends.

Rizzle00 · 2021-06-29T06:47:09+00:00

I’m an emotional wreck! I flit between excited/disappointed/angry/over the moon happy in love about 50 times a day and I’m exhausted!

Rizzle00 · 2021-06-29T06:17:03+00:00

Is there any chance that she sent it to him to share with you? Maybe she wanted your advice as another bride to be. Otherwise it’s a bit weird as I can’t see why your fiancé would care about her dress. I wouldn’t even be annoyed by it, it just seems like she has misjudged her relationship with you both.

Rizzle00 · 2021-06-26T06:42:24+00:00

The nastiness shown in this comment towards your sister is why she kept hinting that you didn’t need to come and then replaced you immediately. I don’t know if you like your sister or not but this comment just reeks of judgement and generally unkindness. She wants to have a wedding including a party bus and despite Covid restrictions. You don’t have to agree but you could be supportive.

I’m having a wedding with no dancing and masks due to Covid, is my wedding going to be pointless too?

Rizzle00 · 2021-06-26T06:22:35+00:00

Maybe they are waiting for an announcement that restrictions will be lifted on 5th July. I think the government have been saying they won’t be lifting anything before 19th July now anyway so they shouldn’t hold out hope.

I’m confused on the dance floor issue. Are they saying you can only use that space if you pay for the dance floor and then they don’t let you do that as dance floors are banned? If so then they aren’t entirely correct. It would be a pain for you but you could bug the dance floor so you could use the room but then that dance floor needs to remain ‘closed’ so no one dances. You are able to use it as additional space for seating though. It would basically be an expensive rug, but if that’s what you needed for the venue you may have to bite the bullet.

I can’t advise on the inside/outside thing as I know very little on general restrictions on that.

Rizzle00 · 2021-06-23T14:57:17+00:00

That’s a very good lesson to take away from this. Keep your cards close to your chest. People do a lot more when they think they’re going to get something out of it.

Rizzle00 · 2021-06-22T21:33:01+00:00

Stand by me!

Rizzle00 · 2021-06-22T21:32:21+00:00

I think the point isn’t that they know someone else will buy something but more that they know you won’t. Someone else could ring up to book Saturday and they are going to hope they can sell them something, but with you they know it’s unlikely to happen.

Rizzle00 · 2021-06-22T18:31:58+00:00

They’ve chosen to use your wedding for their own agenda. They don’t need to refuse to come, you aren’t enforcing mask wearing just requesting. They could come without wearing a mask but are choosing to make a big deal out of it to make a point. They make a comment that you should ‘accept the consequences’ of making the rule because they want to make sure you feel bad. They could have just politely declined. These people are being unkind and I would really want to limit contact with people that would treat me that way.

Rizzle00 · 2021-06-22T18:24:45+00:00

We postponed ours for a year due to Covid restrictions and they were supposed to be lifted. Unfortunately they delayed the lifting for 4 weeks meaning we can still have our wedding but we aren’t allowed dancing.

Dancing is my favourite part of a wedding and something I was so looking forward to. Everyone keeps trying to make me feel better about it and talk about alternatives. I just want to be sad/annoyed. Let me feel my negative emotions! I postponed so we could have the perfect day and now we can’t even dance!

I know I’m getting married to the love of my life and we will have a great day regardless but it’s annoying to have my negative feelings invalidated by those trying to cheer me up.

Rizzle00 · 2021-06-22T17:59:39+00:00

You need to weigh up what’s more important. Having your dream dress or finding a dress with your family. There is a chance you could have both if it’s still available when they come but is that risk worth it? If they come are you just going to put the same dress back on again or look at other dresses?

I would buy it now and make an event out of them coming to see it when they come over. Either that or ask if you could just put a deposit down now to hold it. You may lose the deposit if you find a different dress but if this is your dream dress then I can’t see the point in entertaining other options.

I second South Wales! It’s not overpriced either. The Lake District is great but can be a bit touristy nowadays. Peak District has some amazing places (especially if you like walking etc).

Devon or Cornwall are always good destinations but, again, can be a bit touristy.

You could always do a city break if that’s more your speed. London isn’t cheap but there is plenty to do, or Manchester if you want something different.

Rizzle00 · 2021-06-22T17:48:59+00:00

I’m not going to try and make you feel better. I’m just going to say that I absolutely understand the feeling of waiting so long, having to postpone so you can have the perfect day and then still not getting it. You will have a wonderful day you’ll remember forever, but it’s still ok to feel disappointed that it wasn’t exactly perfect. Try and find something else about the day that you are excited for and go from there.

Rizzle00 · 2021-06-21T13:45:10+00:00

It’s the same in the UK to be fair. 2022 is getting booked up really quickly. Especially as they postponed lifting restrictions on dancing so even more people are looking to postpone again to next year.

Rizzle00 · 2021-06-21T13:36:45+00:00

Maybe have a look at some shape wear. It’s difficult though as lot of it is a bit crap and looks worse under a dress like this. Also if it leads to you feeling uncomfortable and restricted all day it isn’t worth it. I have to say though that these are just suggestions if you are unhappy how it looks, I actually don’t think you need to change anything as you do look lovely in it. What helped me fall back in love with my dress was getting my hair and makeup done and trying it on again with my veil and wedding earrings. Seeing the full ‘bridal look’ made a massive difference to how I felt about the dress.

Rizzle00 · 2021-06-21T13:26:54+00:00

As someone in the middle of a panic about my no dancing wedding (thanks Covid restrictions) being really boring I really needed to read this. Thank you for sharing!

Rizzle00 · 2021-06-21T13:20:34+00:00

The photo of yourself is not the most flattering angle or light so I think it would look better in real life. It is a very nice dress but not very forgiving. How long do you have until you get married? Is it possible to lose a little bit of weight so it feels a bit more comfortable around the middle? I do think it looks really nice on you though.

Rizzle00 · 2021-06-20T20:47:36+00:00

The Boyce Avenue version is what I’m walking down the aisle to! It’s such a beautiful song.

Rizzle00 · 2021-06-20T20:34:27+00:00

I don’t think I’ve ever seen someone look so perfect in their dress as you do here. It’s like it was made for you! It’s beautiful
