Just want AF to arrive so new cycle can begin...

AF due in 3 days.

Am sure I'm out this month - negative FRER today and I have the usual PMS acne.

Just want my period to come already so that I can get this useless cycle over with and have a commiseration beer.

Just frustrating as have been taking pre-conception vitamins for months, cut out caffeine, no alcohol during TWW, have DTD every other day, tracked ovulation and with no success.

Anyone else fancy a moan whilst waiting for AF to show up?

@LS2020 maybe our bodies are just laughing at us...🤣
I'm even lighter again today - just pink on wiping, nothing on liner overnight or today so far...
Weird. I've tracked long enough to know I'm pretty much a solid 12 day luteal and I've never ovulated before CD 16/17 in the past...also never had such a short/light period before...
It's probably definitely a light period...😒

This was mine in November, took til ovulation to come down but it got there! No signs of AF yet, not due til weds but mines already back down to flat so no idea what happening

@LS2020 maybe it's that then 🤔 it's stayed at 67 again today so hopefully that should keep my head straight 🤣

LS2020 · 18/04/2021 06:52

Sorry should say 3 RHR drop*

LS2020 · 18/04/2021 06:52

@mrswilso oh lovely haha I do that! Though I’ve noticed on Fitbit you never get more than a 2 beat drop or increase (tho did have a 3 day with mmc) so I wonder if it’s something in their algorithm so you’ll see it drop later in week? Mines dropped super low today so wondering if AF will show tonight 😞

mrswilso · 17/04/2021 19:49

...the first grey one 🤭 how f*#king rude to turn up down there!? 😤🤣
And I've been there @CaribouCarafe - genuine terror but I survived 😆
@LS2020 I’m starting to overthink the RHR I think...I’m supposedly on CD3 now although things are much lighter than they should be...and my RHR is still higher than usual for CD1...😳🥴 SOMEBODY FREAKING STOP MEEEE! 😫 whyyyy!? 🤣

@mrswilso if I tried to epilate my lady bits I just know I'd get my lips stuck in it somehow! I used to epilate my armpits...but often got bits of my head hair in the process (massive klutz)

@Sunbird24 the first time I saw a pube on my THIGH I was absolutely shocked. That is not the designated zone! Shock

I bought it in a sale, wouldn’t pay full price. My leg hair is too fine/light but it’s really good on my bikini line. Nobody tells you when you first learn about hair that it will eventually start spreading...

mrswilso · 17/04/2021 07:51

@Sunbird24 @LS2020 a girls gotta do what a girls gotta do 🤣
Does the Lumea really work @Sunbird24 ? Worth it?

LS2020 · 17/04/2021 06:07

@mrswilso omg you are made of stern stuff, I can’t even get use my epilator on my legs, it’s hurts too much 😂

Sunbird24 · 16/04/2021 23:33

Wowsers @mrswilso you’re nails! I only manage to shave round the edges and then hit it with the Philips Lumea to slow down regrowth!

mrswilso · 16/04/2021 22:45

I'm telling yous cos I'm actually extremely proud of myself...I epilate my entire lady garden...all of it...with one of those epilator things 🥴 the first few times required a whole bottle of wine to get through the pain but now I do it weekly and it's nowhere near as bad 🤣 HIGHLY recommend actually 😉👅🤣

@CaribouCarafe he's actually a really good cook but I tend to shove him out the kitchen cos it's just not worth washing every single pot, pan and plate every night 🤣

LS2020 · 16/04/2021 21:19

@CaribouCarafe I felt like such a Wally 😂 I need to do some landscaping for my tests this next month so will try to remember that too!

@mrswilso I took sometime out over Xmas/new year and was really helpful. I want to know what these people who ‘stop trying’ do because even when I don’t track I’m always thinking about. Tbf if this test comes back ok, I’ll be referred on for IVF so need to lose some weight so am gonna take 3/4 months to try lose some, guess that will see!

Ironically, I guess the emoji was appropriate...but not in the way I intended

Also am jealous of your DH being able to cook a lovely meal. The most mine can manage is "vaguely edible" Envy

@mrswilso have to admit I've not really been trying properly for the last few months, but am now almost feeling ready to start doing OPKs and everything again. A few months out is definitely helpful mental-health-wise...

Rules are if you get wasted you'll need to leave a lovely drunk post for us to revel in Wink

mrswilso · 16/04/2021 19:41

PS I'm sooo with you with the wine tonight too haha!

mrswilso · 16/04/2021 19:40

@CaribouCarafe hubby cooked me a lovely meal the night before too so I was secretly hoping he'd poisoned me 🤣
Unfortunately not - most definitely definitely AF 😠 starting to get to the "at least I have another month of drinking" stage now 🤣
I am genuinely done. Think I'm gonna be trying/not trying for a few months now...cannot be bothered with the constant let downs...

@LS2020 commiserations - I had that once except I thought it was an implantation bleed! I need to stop being such a cheapskate with razors...

@mrswilso how are you doing? (TMI because this is definitely a thing for me!) but I have to admit with your first post I just assumed you had some hangover shits! Hope you're feeling better now!

@Sunbird24 how're you doing? Hope the hayfever has eased up?

My period began on Wednesday right after I posted...just settling into a nice bottle of commiseration wine now that the weekend has started...

So I got excited as I had a bit of blood on some toilet paper this afternoon, realised later it’s just a small cut on my lady parts and now it’s gets sore when I pee 😂

Sunbird24 · 16/04/2021 10:19

Oh pants! Stupid witch, always turning up at the wrong time but never around when you want her

LS2020 · 16/04/2021 10:06

Oh that’s rubbish @mrswilso have a big glass of wine tonight!

mrswilso · 16/04/2021 08:27

Pretty confident it's AF now..bugger! 😤

LS2020 · 16/04/2021 05:51

Well this is a new one, boobs were so sore in night it woke me like 3 times and even impacted my dreams, RHR is still kinda low though so 🤷‍♀️

LS2020 · 15/04/2021 17:20

@Sunbird24 glad to hear it’s getting lighter!

@mrswilso really hope it’s stayed away ❤️ My boobs are agony today. Hope it means my hormones are normalising and not AF arriving early 😂
