Yup, we can only do what we are told huh. It's been quiet here, it's eerie.

Donnat89 · 18/03/2020 15:06

My work is mad too , lots of staff working from home lots of sick , literally 2 of us in today in my department. We are trying to soldier on for as long as possible !

Just had an email from my kids school though it looks like it's closure will be coming soon as not enough staff !

Least being busy is keeping me away from symptom spotting to much , had some
Left sided cramping today and still got back ache so certain AF is on the way but too busy to dwell on it too much .

Will rest in the morning ! Xx

@Bbutterfly at least if the country does go into lockdown I don't have to worry about not being able to get out and buy some tests 😂 I've shocked myself with my self restraint lol x

Bbutterfly · 18/03/2020 11:08

Hey @NicoleR14 sorry I've been quiet my work is absolute chaos because of this virus.
I'm 4dpo now, I'm not confident this month to be honest. I'm not testing early either it just sends me nuts. @ArjaD sorry you are feeling fed up you're right this virus has taking it out of all of us I just still can't believe what's going on.
@Maidmummy well done for going strong, 18 tests in the house really made me laugh lol. At least One of us has to be lucky this month!! X

Donnat89 · 18/03/2020 10:41

Yea still trying to be hopeful but can't say I'm Confident will test tomorrow and see what happens but fully expecting a BFN ! Xxx

ArjaD · 18/03/2020 09:08

9dpo and bfn.... I'm carrying on testing....

NicoleR14 · 18/03/2020 09:02

@Bbutterfly @dizzy85 how are you getting on?

Sorry to see your feeling down @ArjaD this virus seems to be destroying a lot of things atm hopefully things get better though surely this can't last forever! @donnat89 I'm there with you deffo not hopeful for a bfp this month I've had cramps here and there af type cramps but I'm only 5dpo so it's a bit weird but I had this last month along with the start tugging pains from my belly button down on my right side so I agree deffo take a test tomorrow and if neg take another the day before af just to be sure but your cramping might be related to implantation so don't get disheartened yet!

Morning ladies 5 dpo today, I'm actually feeling really relaxed this month, no obsessive symptom spotting and I have 18 pregnancy tests in the house 😏 and usually by now I have a very strong urge to take one but nope no urge this month, I have decided to do one daily from 8dpo and save them because if I do get a bfp I can line them up for progression purposes x

Oh and totally not symptom spotting just something I have noticed but I'm super gassy TMI usually the gassiness starts a couple of days before AF which isn't due for another 10 days so who knows x

Donnat89 · 18/03/2020 07:50

Morning how's everyone doing ? Anyone tested yet ? I've decided I can't
Hold out much longer so will be testing tomorrow at 11DPO .... not feeling positive though as have AF symptoms but holding on to a little bit of hope !

Hope everyone is ok x

Donnat89 · 17/03/2020 21:09

@NicoleR14 it's soo annoying but in a way just prepares me for BFN .

@ArjaD I'm sorry your feeling crap this damn virus seems to be upsetting a lot of people. I've never known anything like it hopefully it will pass quickly !

I'm feeling supper fed up this eve cramps have gone back back ache still there ..... so I'm prepared for another BFN this
Month but it is what it is I suppose and with advise of pregnant ladies being high risk maybe it's really not the right time to be TTC anyway ! Xxx

ArjaD · 17/03/2020 20:49

Uggghh feeling af like cramps at the moment. Quite odd 6 days before af is due but not a good sign. Been super teary today too but I reckon it's the stress about the corona virus and my business coming to a grinding halt.

NicoleR14 · 17/03/2020 19:16

@donnat89 it's so much worse when you start to get af type symptoms you know the witch is on her way but you wish you were just imagining things!

OP posts:
Donnat89 · 17/03/2020 17:55

I'm trying to hold out until weekend ...... but hoping I get to at least Thursday . We shall see .

I've got all my AF symptoms so I'm not feeling positive! Xxx

NicoleR14 · 17/03/2020 17:49

@ArjaD mines has been the same 😂 my hubby has actually been quiet concerned about his fertility so he had bought a pack online to check his sperm count and it had came back a blazing positive and I don't think I've seen him so excited over anything! I think it has played on his mind alot over the last few months so I'm hoping now he knows there isn't anything to be concerned about he might be more excited to get dtd 😂 currently 4dpo I don't even know why I'm counting! Is anyone testing soon?

OP posts:
ArjaD · 17/03/2020 10:11

@NicoleR14 hahahaha true, my mind is tormenting me!!!!

NicoleR14 · 17/03/2020 09:05

@ArjaD I have dreams like that all the time to begin with I thought maybe it meant something but the more I had and the more bfn's I was getting I just thought my mind was torturing me 😂

OP posts:
Donnat89 · 17/03/2020 08:08

@Maidmummy yes I know same hormones responsible, but for me I had decided that if I get back ache it's usually a sign of AF as it's the same everymonth .

Will find out soon I guess ! Xx

Maidmummy · 17/03/2020 08:04

@Donnat89 don't let the backache discourage you as AF symptoms and pregnancy symptoms can be exactly the same 🤞 for you x

8dpo is really early for a positive as the average day for implantation is 9dpo but saying that I never wait until after 9dpo I usually start at 8dpo too lol x

4dpo today and I will admit the days are actually going by quicker than I expected considering I'm stuck in all day with a poorly 3 year old who had been advised to self isolate as he has a slight temperature 🤦 but considering hes on the toilet every 30 minutes it's pretty safe to say it's just a stomach bug. I have zero symptoms which I'm taking as a good thing because with the previous months id felt everything by now, sore boobs cramps the lot and AF showed up so I'm crossing everything x

Donnat89 · 17/03/2020 08:01

@ArjaD yes far too early ! I'm 9DPO today Back ache is bad so confident AF is on the way . Trying to hold out testing until weekend I think I may get to Thursday and cave ! X

ArjaD · 17/03/2020 07:47

Hi all, had super vivid dreams of having a baby bump last night!! Bfn this morning though at 8dpo, what was I thinking again 🙄

Donnat89 · 16/03/2020 19:51

@Jessmary94 this is the reason I'm trying not to test as wouldn't help at all . Il be 9DPO tomorrow so it will get harder I'm
So hoping I can hold out until weekend ! Xx

ArjaD · 16/03/2020 19:40

@Jessmary94 don't worry, plenty time still!!! Xxx

Jessmary94 · 16/03/2020 19:30

@Donnat89 @ArjaD I'm also 8dpo and tested this morning.. BFN not that I'm surprised I just couldn't wait any longer 🙈 gonna try wait till the weekend to test again.. Hopefully!

NicoleR14 · 16/03/2020 15:25

Hi ladies! Glad to see everyone is doing well I think I should be 3dpo today not hopeful for a bfp this month as we didn't dtd enough with the virus fears! There's always next month I suppose!
