red I'm sure it's seriously frustrating, maybe give yourself a time limit, like if no AF by Sunday maybe go on Monday, to put your mind at ease if nothing else.

Lots of testing coming up soon, very exciting, Fx for u guys!

red your symptoms sound promising despite your BFN, try again in a couple of days :)

mummy that book is definitely on my list after a BFP!!

mrs I have no idea how you managed to even try no sugar during AF! I'm all about the chocolate

Red I'm on cerelle at the minute so that doesn't make me feel too comfortable. It's annoying because not everybody is the same I just wish there was something you could read to say af will be 30 days after etc. How frustrating!? I deffo agree with everybody else and maybe wait a couple more days and try testing again you never know..bodies and tests aren't the most compatible things together are they?

Buzz - I could probably do a no sugar day. However a no kfc day I would miserably fail at..I had 5 kfcs in less than a week for my lunch. One of those days I had it for lunch and dinner and I cooked a lasagne and had that too after I got out the bath. Serious problems wish I could blame it on cravings but that'd be a miracle in itself haha!!

😂😂 laura that's brilliant, id love a KFC right now. Think I'm going to have jacket potato and salad for lunch.. 😔

Red I hope you get some clarity soon! You had a positive OPK 12 days ago right, so yo can't be ovulating again.. maybe it's picking up early pregnancy before the Hpt? Maybe test again in 3 days?

My OPK this morning (not FMU) had a more noticeable line than 2 days ago but still fainter than control. Ovia says fertile week starts in 5 days.

xlaura I'm going to be honest and say i'd probably come off Cerelle now if i were you, then use condoms as protection until you are ready. My best friend few years younger than me), who i thought had an easy conception with her DS admitted last week that it took 6 months for her period to return after Cerelle, and a further 3 cycles that were between 35 & 50 days! She doesnt know i am TTC, she thinks i have come off just for a break.

Grumpy I used a FRER so would hope that would pick anything up before a OPK? It's so confusing! I will test again on Sunday as planned. Meanwhile i am going to book a Drs appointment as i won't get one for 2 or 3 weeks. I can cancel it is AF arrives before it then

Grumpy looks like you are on your way to ovulation!

laura I agree with red, had a friend in a similar situation. Just don't do what I did and actually use condoms 😂

Red / Buzz - oh lord! I don't want to actively start TTC until may so I thought if it was to regulate really quick as I was to fall in the April it wouldn't be that bad but if I fall in the March I don't know what I'd do. No way I'd be getting in that dress of mine. I'm so worried and don't know what'll work out for the best. We don't dtd a great deal ATM as oh works in demolition and landscaping so often has to travel abit to different sites so is up at 5am and then back between 6:30-7 depending on site so he's usually knackered which is fine because we make up for it over the weekend. Maybe I might come off at the end of this packet which is 4 days time and see what happens cycle wise. I have a whole draw full of condoms that I get from the clinic when I go for my pill check (GP doesn't have late night appointments so have no choice!)

In a completely irrelivant post... i am seeing loads of one peice pyjamas for new borns that i love.

Would i be wrong to think that up until about 3 months i could just dress the baby i havn't concieved yet in those? Other clothes seem like a little bit of a waste that early...

Baby gros are so much more convenient in young babies, more comfortable for them aswell. Can't wait to buy them again 😍

Far TMI but I had some brownish EWCM today. Never had that before. Google tells me can happen just before ovulation. I did have some groin pain today but not for long. No peak in CB OPK and a negative IC OPK (although stronger line than last night)... get me in to the 2WW!!!

Confused..I'll be joining you on that one. I think I've already spent god knows how much on a bambino that I haven't even conceived yet 😂 we deffo need help!! Haha

I have a very unusual style of dressing babies - I love all the Spanish clothing. Don't particularly like the garish stuff that's in shops but that's just my opinion and just the way I've been brought up. It's just unfortunate that there really expensive!!

Omg laura you're literally me! I love the Spanish baby clothes!! I want everything from this woman: instagram.com/maria_carapim

Buzz - not people people like so it must be a certain taste. I say we have damn good taste 💁🏽 haha. There stuff is so beautiful and looks so classy..I've just had 9 mins on the sunbed as I'm feeling sorry for myself and im making Casper look like he was born in Africa haha!

Ok so just googled brown ewcm! Dear god my eyes! I had a bit of brown discharge on Monday - does that mean anything. Unprotected sex on Friday. No idea where we are in cycle. Can't test until next week at the earliest I'd say? Anyone had this?

Haha parsnips never google image that! No idea what it means though, sorry I can't help.
Are you back from skiing?

Parsnips - I just made the mistake of googling it because I wanted to see what you saw and oh Jesus lord.. 😫🙈 there are some things the mind just can't unsee and that is one of them!?

Urghhhhh, I just googled too. Grim.

😂😂 glad I'm not the only one scarred for life. Tucking into this currently ladies, what's everybody upto?

Confused because I ovulated early AF is now due on the 17th.. Ovia wants me to test on the 16th. Really that seems silly and a waste of money given I'll find out the day after but might still go for it anyway just for the excitement! You never know lovely, don't give up hope. FX for both of us.
