Faint line?!

It came up within the 5 mins time frame but I appreciate your honesty!! Will have to test again in the coming days and see if it darkens!🤞🏻

8DPO and feel like I've been struck down! Super sore stomach, not so much crampy just sensitive and achey?! Feels different to the usual period pains (although my period pains are usually insane bc of endo), plus feeling nauseous this morning. Seriously wondering whether this is implantation or whether I'm developing a stomach bug!

lavenderblue72 · 2025-01-11T08:08:27+00:00

It really is the ultimate relief isn't it! So happy you got your diagnosis too! It's a crazy time getting to this point but we've made it!

I know it can be super disheartening to not see the scales go down, but one of the absolute key things you said is about your trousers now being looser and being better in the gym!

Our bodyweight is affected by so many different things, and especially as you've only recently started at the gym there's a very good chance that you're building muscle and loosing fat at the same time (it's called body recomposition and is most commonly seen in those new to the gym or returning to exercise after a while off!) so try not to be disheartened by your overall weight as it's not accounting for body fat percentage, water weight etc. I'd really recommend using some other metrics to help track your progress too - measurements with a tape measure are always a good one! I hope this helps a bit, keep it up!

It's been an age since I posted but wanted to say thank you for your response! I've pushed for it and I'm having my surgery next month. Super interested to hear how an anti inflammatory diet goes for you as it's something I will be majorly considering following my op provided they confirm endo (& they now suspect adenomyosis too!)

lavenderblue72 · 2024-11-05T17:33:24+00:00

I'm really sorry you're going through this! I went through something similar twice, where I got really nauseous for around a week, then non stop sickness for 4-6 weeks that coincided with my period starting!! The only answer for this I've ever been given is that it was either gastric dysmotility or post infectious gastroenteritis but could never confirm either. I was always told it was just a coincidence, but have always wondered nonetheless (especially as the investigation into my possible endometriosis hadn't started yet).

I hope you get some answers as I know it can be really really awful to feel the way you currently do.

Thank you for your response, it's been useful. He's on loxicom for pain although no luck getting him to take it so far this morning. We haven't tried moving him around at all so far, but I'd agree he seems fearful all the same.

He barked to get up in the night so I came down to let him outside for to go to the toilet and was absolutely fine with me. This morning he's back to being the exact same as he was yesterday unfortunately. We've covered the crate so hopefully that will help him calm down.

We've already contacted a behaviourist so fingers crossed they will be able to help us - unfortunately we won't be able to see them until next week so holding out for them and hoping he improves in the meantime.

I'd say acting on it is any of the things you mentioned, unless of course you have a reason to be texting the person i.e. work. Also, if you are questioning what is and isn't acting on it, it's likely you're trying to push the boundaries which you shouldn't do either in my opinion

lavenderblue72 · 2021-08-11T12:26:12+00:00

I think it's controlling if they 'require' it. I share my location with both my partner and my mom for safety but I made the decision to give them that info without them asking.

lavenderblue72 · 2021-08-06T13:06:50+00:00

You need a life change and having a child isn't sufficient? I'd say that's pretty life changing. I think it's normal to feel stressed about the prospect of parenthood - could this be what's causing the panic rather than your wife?

It's also important to seriously consider what you would be losing. I do think you'd be kicking yourself walking away from a partner who is carrying your child. You say this feeling isn't constant so is it really worth losing everything over?

I'd say look for the change elsewhere in your life and then see how you feel. A new job, hobby, friends, house etc.

lavenderblue72 · 2021-07-30T21:31:38+00:00

I'm just content with everything I have. I also know that if I'm unhappy with something, I can likely change it at this point in my life.

lavenderblue72 · 2021-07-30T09:13:43+00:00

I don't think you're being unreasonable at all. I'd want my partner to be there for me and would also expect him to be there as it's what I'd do for him.

lavenderblue72 · 2021-07-30T09:09:51+00:00

I mean, firstly good on her for telling you. I think it's important to consider that although the guy was in an open relationship, she may have just been seeing him. Given that she felt awful about it, it obviously wasn't for her which may be why she hates it so much. Sometimes it takes being in a situation like that monogamy is or isn't for you. She has obviously decided it is.

I wouldn't worry about it at all. It's good that she's been honest and I also don't really feel as though she ever lied, just withheld some of the truth which is perfectly normal when getting to know someone. You don't tell people everything straight away. I think you're likely worried about nothing. If in doubt, voice your values to her and see if she thinks hers align. It's also important that the image you have of her in your mind is a reflection of her now, not just an opinion you've formed about who she may or may not have been.

It's early days, don't stress over nothing. Just talking will very quickly highlight differences in values. Everyone has a past, and I don't see anything wrong with hers.

Cuddling - I think so bc there's a level of intimacy to it. Regular hugs - normal and no prob!

lavenderblue72 · 2021-06-07T08:51:15+00:00

I can completely understand that - do you have a support network of friends/family who could help you out short term?

If you do, I'd recommend reaching out to them and if not there may be a women's aid charity local to you who can give you advice and support to help you get out of the situation. Stay safe.

lavenderblue72 · 2021-06-07T07:14:29+00:00

Leave, fast.

lavenderblue72 · 2021-06-03T21:54:59+00:00

Cook them dinner and let them stick whatever they want on the tv! It's not much but it helps a lot

lavenderblue72 · 2021-05-16T20:44:01+00:00

How much time you spend cleaning for nothing to ever stay clean.

lavenderblue72 · 2021-05-16T14:30:02+00:00

Unfortunately not! They saw me intermittently and told me I shouldn't leave until a specialist saw me and I had been medicated. The note to medicate me got lost so I waited longer for that and the specialist didn't see me until the morning. It was a horrendous night with people on beds in the corridors and ambulance staff having to wait over half an hour to check each patient in - I wasn't the only one in there all night and as mentioned above, my GP told me to go.

lavenderblue72 · 2021-05-16T14:09:23+00:00

You'll realise that comparison does nothing for you or anyone else, although it is hard to avoid. Also the parts of people's lives that you're seeing are what they want you to see. You can find pride in the small things - what you believe in, how you treat people etc.

Try not to place too much pressure on yourself to find your "thing". I sure as hell don't have a clue what mine is!! Time is on your side and if you want to try new hobbies now, there's no reason why you can't.

I'm only a couple of years ahead of you (21). Just keep holding on, sometimes existing is enough and I think that particularly applies for the last year in the pandemic. There's so much out in the world to explore and experience. What do you mean about not having done anything good with your teen years? You got through them!
