First period:17/2 (32 days)
Ovulation: 4/3 (Cycle day 17)
Hi everyone, I told myself I would play it cool with it being the first real month but I’ve been symptom spotting like mad. I’ve had quite a lot of symptoms this month. I’ve never get pain in my nipples but this month they’ve been so full and sore for the past few days, I’ve had also had back ache, hot flashes, heavy feeling in my stomach and felt as if I’ve had cold when waking. Today I’ve woke up (cd 27) and feel so sick, worried that it’s because my period is due but there’s still 6 days to go. Please say I’m not the only one symptom spotting like mad. X

I’m sure you’ll not mess it up Smile, seeing that smiley face on the test definitely makes you feel good. Hopefully it goes quick so you can start your next cycle towards your BFP.

@1987Nic oh that’s good it tells you, when they arrived I’ll have to have a read so I don’t mess it up! Although I thought AF was starting and it hasn’t so I’m still patiently waiting for her to hurry up 😂

Aw good I’m a total fan of clear blue. Smile Yeh it tells you when to start, I think it depends on your cycle length. I’ve never used Flo but can imagine they are similar, it tells you your fertility score and you can track periods/symptoms. x

@1987Nic they are the exact tests I ordered yesterday ☺️ So how do you know when to start using the tests? Will it say on the box when it arrives? I use the Flo app is Ovia similar? X

Keep positive ❤️. Yeh of course you can quiz me, I used clear blue advanced digital ovulation test. They tell you 4 or more fertile days, they are a bit more pricey but you get 20 so it’s well enough for more than a month if needed. What tests have you bought? I ovulated on CD 17 so you could be ovulating slightly before then. I also use the Ovia app, that’s really good for keeping a track of things. X

@1987Nic AF is starting so that’s me officially out! But onwards and upwards (tbh prob a good thing with work being so mental at the moment) but brand new cycle so a new chance. Ordered some OPKs for this month to learn about my cycle a bit more. Did you use these? Can I quiz you? X

I really hope it is your turn, I’m keeping everything crossed for you.
Decided I’ll try and keep myself busy tidying the house etc when I’m off work but after being up from 5am being sick I’m just going to have a lazy day today ha.

@1987Nic very wise love, safest place to be at the moment. I tested this morning and got a BFN so I wait patiently for AF ☺️ Hopefully my turn next time

@1987Nic yeah deffo a holiday rather than this horrible virus, yeah I saw that as I was finishing my shift... I think I might test tomorrow morning and then I know where I stand because I’m quite exposed to it at the moment unfortunately. If it’s positive then I can do something about it, if it’s negative I can keep going with my trusty mask 😷

A distraction is definitely what is needed but more in the way of a holiday not this terrible Coronavirus. I’ve just been watching the news about pregnant people and people with health conditions possibly needing to be off work for 12 weeks.

Yeah he’s telling me to wait, but I’ll see how I feel in the morning haha I’ll probably cave! Totally exhausted in regards to work so so busy 😔 but it does preoccupy my mind I guess

@Macaz20 My boyfriend was keep telling me to wait. Would be so lovely to have other people in the group get a positive too.Smile
Bet you are so worn out at the moment with your job.

@1987Nic I see a definite line, congratulations!! 😍

I caved and tested today... The first test was a dud and didn't even show a control line! (Maybe the cheap tests are not such a good idea!) The second was negative 😞 But I'll keep hoping until AF shows up!

Macaz20 · 16/03/2020 16:30

@1987Nic just need to persuade my partner just told him I want to test but he says I should wait lol 😂 not what I wanted to hear. I am busy at work to be fair I work for the NHS so that’ll keep me occupied for now I guess
