Another hilarious thing about the GP yesterday was the she was practically like wtf are you doing testing before AF is due?! I was like girl listen (and I almost mentioned the Mumsnet crew) this is really common but I promise I won't do it again. She was like ya please don't!! (You crazy bitch)

Unfortunately wine was not drunk as there was none in the house, and I had no money left to buy any as I spent it all on the poxy trains 😂
Beau that's hilarious... Why are early tests available if not for us to use them and drive ourselves crazy?!?!
I now have zero idea what is going on with me. Pink when I wiped on Monday, nothing yesterday and nothing overnight. No AF cramps, I don't have "that feeling" which I would normally have by today. So confused that I'm going to disobey your GP Beau and use an FRER tomorrow/Friday just to rule out being preggers before I head off to my friends hen do on Saturday! I'll be going mental while I'm there if not 😂

@Beau2020x hahahaha hilarious!! Yes I do that too, when he has his laptop in his lap I'm like.. Mind my boys!!! Ahh I think. The worst part every month is getting to this point 11 dpo and just knowing you aren't pregnant 🙄

@lv1987 do you have any symptoms??

Hi @missgoldilocks... I'm not really sure. This time last cycle I felt rough as, but besides feeling absolutely shattered, I feel fine. The only other thing of note is my RHR appears to be creeping up, which I don't think it would do in the lead up to AF. It's increased by a beat every day since Sunday. I'm not holding out too much hope though, as I've only been off the pill since mid-December and I'm rather stressed at work, so there are alternative explanations for everything that I have going on, I guess. But no AF, so I'm not out 🤞

Sounds positive @LV1987 my fingers are crossed for you xx

Thank you @Snowwhite2020 I just want to know either way because if I can have wine at the hen do, I'm going to have a lot of it 😂🍷

@lv1987 exciting!! If you're overdue it might come up already?? How many dpo are you? X

I'm trying not to get too excited missg!! Don't encourage me 😂 I'm not late just yet as far as I know (although I may be, who knows!) by my count I am 12dpo I think x

@lv1987 ahh okay haha x

AF came today boooo. But I knew we weren't PG this month. I have to give it all next month as I'm away in Argentina with work in April's cycle. Time just keeps slipping.

Glad you are getting things looked at @Beau2020x with your GP. And @Ellsbells112 keep us updated.

@LV1987 that sounds positive!! I have a hen do this weekend which I now know I can drink at but I am the only one going without a kid other than the bride to be :(

@Symptomspotter86 arghhh gutted!! I remember you asking us about this Argentina trip - I bet you are so glad you booked it now! I know the feeling; I'm away ovulation days this month with work and the following month we are at BILs soooo no hanky panky there either! Here's to trying in may! Or even better June FW is when we are on holiday so many a holiday conception haha

@Symptomspotter86 sucks that you are out... But at least you can do shots with the bride to be? 😁

I'm disappearing for the evening as my partner is working late and I have to take a quick nap so that I can actually spend some time with him this evening... Last night I was zonked by 9pm 🙄 I will update tomorrow if AF does not reappear over night!!

Girls I'm getting REALLY fed up of OPK's this month. I mean it might technically not be their fault and I'm gearing up for another long cycle.. last cycle I had my peak by CD18, I'm CD15 today and my OPK's are still so faint and getting flashing smiley on CB digital 😤 absolute zero cm as well.
Haven't DTD since Sunday but cba at the moment as feel like there's no point until I know I'm properly in the FW.
No real point to this really... just grrrr 😖😠

@beau20 yesssss so pleased!! I love a holiday FW!! I am going on hols on 20th March which is end of my FW. Just hope we can still go due to coronavirus ffs.

@Mumofboys17 Ahhh that's really annoying!! ❤️ There is a point it will happen be patient with your body 🤗 you might have a longer cycle but that's okay, just keep tracking it so you know when to dtd but yes while it isn't peaking take a break x
I know that's super easier said than done because when the opk doesn't do what I need it to I get so anxious xx

It's a no from me! Really BFN this morning 😕 no idea what is going on or where to go from here. Should I be considering the spotting as a very light period or waiting until something more periody comes along to start CD1? But if I do that, am I potentially miscounting so much that I may as well write next month off. So confused 😔

@Mumofboys17 Your Feb OPK peak on CD18 definitely wasn't 100% positive lovely, I don't think. 87 is realllyyyy low peak, mine usually goes up to at least 170 (are you using femometer?) Also, my OPKs are like nothing then I go from zero to peak in 1 day so you've still got time.

Make sure after you get your peak, keep testing until it's 100% negative again x

@LV1987 ahh noo!!! CD1 is first day of full flow, not spotting. SO you 100% aren't out yet! Are you still DTD? As your cycles are so long and you aren't tracking OPKs you can't be sure if you are catching the right times

@mumofboys17 just to give you an idea. If you think you are coming up to peak then DTD every other day 💕

@Beau20 Yeah this is Femometer.. this is what I meant by stopping too early each cycle! I get what I think is a peak DTD on that day (plus 1-2 days prior) and then stop! 🤦🏼‍♀️ I'm such a plum no bloody wonder I'm not pregnant yet!! I'm still surprised in the difference in comparison to last cycle but hey ho!!
Thank you though that does help xx

@LV1987 yeah I count first day of proper flow. Have you had a proper period yet? Trying to remember who's who again 😂 have you recently stopped contraception? X

@Mumofboys17 yeah 100% then your last peak wasn't a true peak. You'd probably get a proper peak the next day and then ovulate a day or 2 after that so your probably going too early. Some people have top end peak for like 2-3 days but mine only lasts a few hours so I test 4 times a day on peak day. Make sure you are DTD every other day now and until you get negative again and then you will be covered xx

@Beau20 Yes boss!! 🙅🏼‍♀️😘😂

Is anyone else still waiting for FW this cycle or am I out of sync again? 😂😂

@Mumofboys17 I'm on CD10 ovulation usually around CD17 but PRAYING TO GOD it comes early. Probably going to start OPKs tomorrow. I started waaayyy too early last month CD8 and it felt like I was waiting about 7 years for a peak. Took soy isoflavones this month so hoping ouvlation will come a day or 2 early but unlikely x

@Mumofboys17 I'm giving all this advice but never have sex during my own FW hahahah

I've been meaning to ask - is anyone concerned about potentially being pregnant and the risks of Coronavirus?

I'm generally not worried about the actual virus itself, it's flu. Simple. However there is a standard flu vaccine which of course helps when you are pregnant but nothing for this virus...

Not pregnant me really not arsed. Pregnant me would be very concerned... or am I being silly?
