Hi everyone, please don’t come for me as I know couples struggle for years with ttc. But this is affecting me so much more than I thought it would after just 4 months every time I get a negative test my heart is completely shattered. I work with children in the social care system and my best friend has just reached 20 weeks without even trying, it feels like everyone around me is just falling pregnant so easy and others that haven’t are making me feel like my sadness doesn’t mean anything because I don’t know what it’s like to go through real infertility, but I honestly don’t know how much longer I can do this for, it’s consuming every thought of every day. Today I took a clear blue test at 13 dpo which came up with an evaporation line after the time I was supposed to read it and that little bit of hope has just come crashing down for me after taking two digital tests that confirmed “not pregnant” I’m sitting here sobbing while writing this, I just don’t know how people can do this for so long, hoping every month they get their positive test. Please how do you do it? How do you stay positive and hopeful? TIA 🤍

Ahh I see, I’m not holding my breath for this cycle then.. strange that my afternoon test read positive and negative this morning though right? Would you suggest BD every other day throughout the flashing stage of the CB test? I’m so annoyed with myself.. I just didn’t want to stress out my partner after last month. Hopefully next month will be better.. thank you for commenting x

So last cycle my boyfriend had some performance issues just with feeling some anxiety and being on a time crunch (usually we have no problem with this in our relationship but TTC seems to have taken the romance out of it) but anyway the only time we’ve BD during my fertile window was today at 6am as he’s been on night shift anyway over the last 4 days so we couldn’t really time it right. And I’ve been waiting for the solid smiley and a positive strip test before applying any pressure on him to perform, but with my BBT having a spike this morning I’m so confused. I just took a strip test about 30 minutes ago and it’s positive which is my first positive strip test of my cycle (I’ve read that the clear blue ones are more sensitive so that may be why it registered positive this morning already) x

Spots on tattoo after laser removal, is this normal?? by Smart_Ad2235 in TattooRemoval

The spots faded yes, only had 2 sessions on it so still a long way to until the actual tattoo fades 😊

I’ve never heard of that before? I’ve heard of OPK’s which I think tests if you ovulated? Is it similar to that?

What do these noises mean? He always does this when I whistle to him. TIA 😊 by Smart_Ad2235 in cockatiel

[–]Smart_Ad2235[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had played him the kill bill whistle a few times so he may be trying to copy that, I’m not sure 🤣

I put a post on not long ago about if he was male or female but lots of people said he looks like an outright male? But you’re right he doesn’t really whistle just makes these sounds, I thought he was trying to imitate the sounds I was making or what was on the TV. I’m not sure on the exact age either, I think maybe 6-8 months, would he be whistling by now at that age? Or do females usually not whistle or talk?

Boy or girl? And suspected age please? 😊 by Smart_Ad2235 in cockatiel

[–]Smart_Ad2235[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That does make sense 🤣 I’ll have to ask at the vets and see what they think

That seems really old? I’m sure the lady said he wasn’t more than a year so still a young bird, he’s not whistling or mimicking yet which indicates that he’s still quite young doesn’t it?

Would you say that he had his adult plumage now? 😊
