So happy with how my engagement ring turned out! It all started with an idea of a ring with two birds, as my fiancé (😃) and I call each other "Spatz" (sparrow) as a nickname. And we certainly are two "bunte Vögel" (colourful birds = it's a nice way to say someone is a bit weird/crazy but in a creative/eccentric way in German) who luckily found each other ❤️ Can't wait to marry him!
I am obsessed with the wing shaped setting and bark-like structure of the ring. The bigger stones were selected to match our eye colours. And the yellow and light blue just because we love all things colourful haha. I really really love that on a quick look it seems to be a more "normal" cluster-stone ring, but at the same time it means so much more than that.
It's a 9ct rose gold ring with green, blue and yellow Australian sapphires. European size 50. Custom-made together with Fairina Cheng (Australia).
I've known from the start that I don't want to marry white as it doesn't feel like me - now I have a really colourful and unusual outfit and I'm not sure it was the right choice 😭
How did you feel about your non-traditional / non-white wedding outfits / dresses?! Did you feel bridal still? What did people say?
Wedding is in three weeks, so trying not to freak out...
TTC with an extremely irregular cycle (anything between 60 and 32 days!) is absolute hell.
First half I'm peeing in a cup for LH tests every day, trying to figure out if it was ovulation or not. But first half can be anything between day 10 and around day 45!! So if I'm lucky it's just a week of testing, but could also be five weeks 💀
The advice to have sex every other day is ridiculous for someone having a busy life and not that high of a libido to get at it every second day for FIVE WEEKS.
Hence I keep on testing. When the tests seem positive I'm relieved, we TTC a lot... and then the test gets positive again a week later?! So I didn't ovulate the first time?! Or maybe it's positive from HCG? Like WTF is thIs. Just to be sure we go at it again.
And then the obsessive HCG testing starts. This cycle I told my bf to hide the tests until two weeks after suspected (😩) ovulation. Does not stop me from obsessively monitoring every sensation ib my body of course.
So when do I stop testing LH? Only when my period arrives... Or not? 😭 other symptoms like cervix are not conclusive and I really do not want to measure my bbt additionally. I'm aware that my OBGYN could prescripe some pills for it, but so far wanna try without additional help. If it doesn't work in the next few cycles, I'll reconsider for sure.
I'm seriously worried about my mental health going forward with this.
I'm wearing an about chin long bob with bangs and I feel lost on veil / headband / hairstyle options for the wedding. Google was not very helpful so far, ChatGPT even less. Literally any suggestions and ideas are welcome!
