@mellymoo86 yes I was 😂😂 I finish half day in a Tuesday though...

I've been told I've to be more sympathetic to people but I just dont have patience!! 😂 I'm just thinking 'it's your business!!! its 2.5 hours!!! Suck it up!!!'

So the sympathy is going quite well as you see 😂

mellymoo86 · 27/11/2019 12:22

@Waiting1987 yay that's good!! I never get a flashing smiley, I go straight to the static one for 48 hours. Flashing can stay there for a few days depending on your hormones. Some have had it for a few days and some for a week or so. But what's coming is a couple of days I believe

mellymoo86 · 27/11/2019 12:21

@CiaraJ01 bulllllllshit! Lol would have said that to him over the phone. Must have caught something whilst on holiday 😁😂 You just know when some people aren't being truthful. Hold on, didn't you get your nails done ydy? Lol

CiaraJ01 · 27/11/2019 12:09

@skygirl1983 when mine finally came it was the most painful ones I had in years - I wondered if all the vitamins/folic acid I was taking had any impact?? Are you taking any or recently started them?

@mellymoo86 glad to hear your bloods are normal by your googling at least lol!

Does anyone else have a low sympathy threshold?? I've been poorly all week but still came into work even for half days at least - and just took a call from my main GP (i work in a surgery) who is also the owner of the practice to say he won't be in tomorrow. Bearing in mind he's on holiday all week and only coming in tomorrow morning cause we're extra short staffed!! Because 'he's not feeling great' Angry

Waiting1987 · 27/11/2019 11:57

Finally a flashing smiley!!!!

How many days flashing do people usually get before static?

@mellymoo86 yeah I dont know what on earth is going on!! I feel terrible. I just want some sort of answer really.

That's good about your bloods so far though.

@Skygirl1983 that's odd, and as you said it's not normal for you. I've had the odd late and early AF here and there. I've noticed I've spotted my way through AF this time. Not as heavy as it is normally 🤷🏽‍♀️ who knows what's happening in there. Like you said give it a few days and consult with a doctor.

I can see through the online portal my first blood test results are there. I've googled it and everything seems within normal regions. I should probably wait til my next blood tests and doctors appointment for her to speak to me without diagnosing myself 😂

nt1992 · 27/11/2019 10:51

@Skygirl1983 ohhh fingers crossed you know one way or another soon!

Mum2boyss · 27/11/2019 10:35

Thanks ladies, hopefully it will be in next couple of days. So frustrating not having a regular cycle so I don't no roughly when I'm ovulating, think my hubby is sick of the sight of these sticks haha xx

Skygirl1983 · 27/11/2019 10:34

@nt1992 I did a FRER on Thursday. The rest have been CB or internet cheapies. I feel so sick and have a bit of a headache but no other symptoms. Sometimes my tummy feels full before AF but it feels like nothing. No cramps or twinges or anything. I keep going to the toilet to wipe and other than a little bit of brown discharge earlier still nothing!

OP posts:
nt1992 · 27/11/2019 10:29

@Skygirl1983 this was like me! I was over the fact my tests were BFNs but AF was dragging it out!

Have you tried a FRER?

CiaraJ01 · 27/11/2019 10:15

@skygirl1983 yep definitely do - at least to put your mind at rest!! And sometimes our intuition is just right!! Fingers crossed for you xx

Yep just as I thought - no matter how hard we research or plan - it's literally all to chance! I did an OPK test last night, but at CD6 it wasn't a surprise it was non existent levels. Will test again tomorrow and go from there

Skygirl1983 · 27/11/2019 09:46

@CiaraJ01 if it hasn't appeared by Friday I think I'll got and see the doc for bloods. In a weird way, even though the tests are negative I feel different!! I cant shake that feeling!

OPKs are such a minefield! Theres no harm in dtd when you said just incase. Dr Google says 24-48hrs but you never know really!

OP posts:
CiaraJ01 · 27/11/2019 09:40

@skygirl1983 I feel your pain! It really starting getting to me last week as you're just in limbo with no AF and no BFP - you just want it over with! Hopefully not long left for either to show xx

When people see they're peak on the OPKs - how long do you assume you're window lasts? Is it 24-48 hours you dtd for? I'm away this weekend and expecting my peak on Saturday - so going to dtd Fri AM and Sun PM. But could I be wasting my time if the window is like 24 hours? (Not that DTD is ever a waste Wink )

Skygirl1983 · 27/11/2019 09:11

@CiaraJ01 its driving me mad!! I know because of all the negative tests that I'm not pregnant but I wish this period would hurry along now so I can get on as normal!!

@Mum2boyss I second CiaraJ. I struggled with those strips on the app. The pics never looked like they did in real life!! Just dtd as much as you can ;)

CiaraJ01 · 27/11/2019 08:55

@mellymoo86 we're close in cycles, I'm on CD6 now and #3 too. Let the rollercoaster begin again!!

Definitely celebrate surviving the year with your new nails :-)

CiaraJ01 · 27/11/2019 08:54

Morning ladies, sorry i've been a bit quiet lately, this cold has wiped me out and also trying to get ready for amsterdam this weekend!

@skygirl1983 and @lucy5546 I was the same last week, firstly no pregnancy symptoms or even hallucinations there were some, then AF symptoms for days but no arrival - and then nothing! She did eventually arrive 2 days late however... fingers crossed for you though!!

@Mum2boyss I completely ignore he numbers because mine seem to be ridiculously high. So I just dtd when the line is darker (or as dark) as the other.. it looks like you're heading in the right direction though maybe just another day away?

Lucy5546 · 27/11/2019 08:33

@Skygirl1983 i am the same as you. CD 30 and woke up this morning all symptoms have vanished but no AF. I havent test3d yet though!!

Mum2boyss · 27/11/2019 08:28

Hi everyone sorry to butt in, I've been following this thread since the beginning haha. ( I have commented a couple of times) just wondered what numbers people would consider them having a serge? Top one is from last night bottom just now, ignore cycle date, I've got PCOS so my cycle is all over place. Xx

Skygirl1983 · 27/11/2019 08:05

@MrsC89 I'm dealing with the same just now!! No AF, BFN and feeling nausea. Sore boobs have gone!

OP posts:
MrsC89 · 27/11/2019 07:49

AF due tomorrow, bfn on an IC this morning. I bet it's not even going to turn up on time!

Skygirl1983 · 27/11/2019 07:49

@nt1992 I'm 15dpo CD30 all AF symptoms gone. Not sure what's going on.

OP posts:
ceebee21 · 27/11/2019 07:36

Morning all, decided not to test this morning at 11DPO.

What will be will be eh.

AF arrived 11DPO last year so assume she may arrive later on

Wishing everyone else luck with BFPs

nt1992 · 27/11/2019 07:31

@Skygirl1983 thank you! How many DPO are you now?x
