@Beau20 it's always easier to give advice than take it 😉 I'm very appreciative though! X

As for coronavirus.. I don't think you're silly to be worried at all. You worry about all sorts of strange shite when you're pregnant. I remember doing my Asda shop and googling every item that when in my trolley to make sure it was safe in pregnancy 😬😂
I work in the NHS and the guidelines are the same everywhere! Just practice good hand hygiene and try and refrain from touching your face/mouth and that's the main contamination route xx

Hi, been at a conference in London all day... Wasn't too worried about Coronavirus myself, but there were lots of precautions in place, including a recommendation not to kiss or shake hands with your contacts!

@Mumofboys17 yep, I'm the one who came off contraception in December. I've had one proper AF since then. I'm now on CD 40 I think with no AF... but as Beau says, can't actually be sure when I ovulated.

Beau, we've not been this last week or so as we are both having a tough time at work so just shattered when we get home :( I guess I just have to wait it out a little longer, and maybe test again in a week of there's still no sign. Gah.

Girls can I ask a question genuinely for a friend. Have any of been on the depo injection prior to ttc? If so what was AF like when it returned? Thanks girls 😘
@Symptomspotter86 sorry about AF. TTC sucks :( At least you can have a good booze up though X

@ange211 I was on depo and I spotted constantly on it, then when I came off (7 months later couldnt stand the spotting) I didn't have a period for a while, they were messed up for about a year.

Thanks @Missgoldilocks sorry if tmi but we're your periods very heavy when they returned? My friends are heavy and full of tissue. Sorry if that's tmi!

@ange211 it's OK don't worry x 🤔 I can't remember if they were like that so I don't think they were

@Ange211 not sure about periods as not had the depot myself, but my sister has been on it on and off for a long time and she has zero periods but it did mess her cycle up for a while so the Dr recommended taking breaks if possible.. hope that makes sense 😂 x

@Beau20 OPK's getting there! Starting to see a little bit of improvement, not thrown the OPK's out again just yet 🙃😂 still getting flashing smiley on CB digital, DTD last night. Don't think we need to tonight as well just yet will probably be OK to wait til tomorrow night?

@Mumofboys17 I’m almost cycle buddies with you. I’m CD17 and very weak readings on OPK... last two months I’ve ovulated late and had weak readings- before that ovulated CD16 with strong LH peak reading. Pretty stressful time at work so wondering if that is affecting things... who knows. Frustrating!

@Snowwhite2020 yeah probably!! I had much stronger lines this time last cycle, but then it's not unknown for me to have 40 day cycles either 🙄 do you get long cycles too? Xx

I have had 40 day cycles in the past but not recently... due to have bloods and an ultra sound over the next month to see what’s going on with hormones. Been TTC for around 6 months now. Xx

Well period pains right on time. 😤😔

Morning ladies x CD5 here so nothing exciting x fingers crossed for all of you in FW or near it x Sorry I'm being quiet, I'm just trying no stress approach x I'm normally ovulating around CD15-16 so that will be middle of week after next x

@Katie1109 Nice to hear from you! Hope you're feeling OK ❤️

@Snowwhite2020 that's good you're getting some tests done! Sometimes just reassuring even to get things ruled out xx

@Mumofboys17 wooo happy days! Yeah stick them out you will get there. You probably started the CB too early this cycle. I did last month and had 9 days before flashing smiley!!

Try soy isoflavones next cycle - I'm not sure if it's a coincidence but I've not had anything on an OPK until CD16 and then peak CD16 for the last 5 cycles. I'm on CD11 today and I've got the same readings I usually get CD16 wooo!! Trying not to jynx it but hoping I get my peak CD13 so my ovulation is back to normal at least. Had a hugeeeee 0.5 drop in BBT this morning too which is weird (top line temp and bottom OPK)

@Missgoldilocks noooo! AF still away I'm hoping? Xx

@Mumofboys17 sorry I meant 9 days of flashing smiley

Sorry @Missgoldilocks I missed your message! Are you sure? When is AF due?? Xx

@Beau20 You're most likely right! I've had 4 days of flashing smiley so far 😬😂 I definitely felt a little more wet downstairs last night when DTD 🙃 so hopefully O day is on its way!!
Stupid question alert, what's isoflavones? Xx

@Beau2020x @Mumofboys17 when you girls talk about opks like that I'm literally so lost hahaha. You two are at the exciting part!
Thanks girls , af isn't here yet but it's due Sunday so the pains are bang on time. It's always so hard when you know it's coming or first day it has come!! I wish I had other symptoms that resembled pregnancy but I don't 🙄 and getting impatient for these sperm results now! Xx

Hope AF stays away for you @missgoldilocks xx

@snowwhite2020 thanks, I wish but I know my body by now, it hasn't happened this month but thank you xx

Hi all, RHR dropped today so despite the annoying on and off spotting all this week, I think I may be getting a proper visit from AF soon. Right in time for the hen do, hurrah! 😂🐔

@Missgoldilocks last time I was pregnant (properly pregnant) I had typical AF symptoms was 100% sure it was her! Nope! I was pregnant! And not a single other symptom until 6 weeks when I was sick as a pig.

@Mumofboys17 google soy isoflavones. They are meant to be identical to clomid but natural. You take them exactly the same, for 5 days around days 2-6 but I took them days 4-8. Basically they make your ovaries work harder and produce more mature eggs therefore a good strong corpus luteum which means more progesterone and more likely to be successful pregnancy. I'll try anything this far in 😂😂😂

@Beau2020x nope it's definitely coming, my cervix is low and hard as always at this time, my temp is dropping and my resting heart rate dropped to 59 down from 62 lol better luck next cycle. We are picking up our new kitten on the 20th of this month I can't wait to get him! He can be my baby lol. That's so cool about the isoflavones! I hope it carries on good for you xx

@lv1987 sorry to hear that, my heart rate is down too. Into the next cycle

@Beau20 that sounds like a good supplement. Maybe not the month they do my bloods tho as want to know if there’s a problem xx

Down to 60 from 63 here x
