@Beau20 he's nearly finished it already, god knows what he's going to do for the rest of the next 3 months 😂 But, still glad that he's being positive!

Beau20 · 27/03/2020 20:49

@LV1987 I'm really intruiged!! You'll have to upload a photo!! I don't think any of us will know each other, all live opposite ends of the country! 😂 I uploaded a photo of my dog and that is extremely outing ooops

LV1987 · 27/03/2020 21:11

I will do once it has some cushions on :) apparently I have to sew them!!

Mumofboys17 · 28/03/2020 09:14

Good morning beautiful ladies ❤️
Another day, another 24 hours in lovely lockdown 🙄😂 how are we all?

AF in full flow today. Yayyy.... never mind! On to cycle 9 for us. Next FW is due around DH's birthday 😂 must be a sign!

@LV1987 my DH is still working but has a major DIY head on at the moment. We're getting some paving slabs put down in the garden which we've wanted to do for AGES but this isolation feels like the perfect excuse to get it done 😂 as long as we can find someone to deliver!!

@Beau20 I need a bar area in my life!!!😍 I might spend today doing that. Brain storming my perfect summer garden haha! X

@Karanciri welcome!! We're all mad here 😂😘

@Karanciri in reply to your initial question, the moment I get a peak we DTD as much as possible before my OPK's turn negative again. So definitely on the day and the day after, if that helps? X

@Mumofboys17 good morning!
Honestly this morning I am just soooo fed up. I'm so sick of this 😭 it honestly just feels like it's never going to happen I have no hope or positivity about this fucking thing anymore. I literally go into it every month like oh yes let's try even though it's not going to happen. Urgh it sounds so fucking shitty but I'm so fed up and so bloody sad honestly, every day I just think to myself "I'm not pregnant, there's obviously something wrong with me" my past comes to mind and I can't stop beating myself up in LITERALLY LOSING MY MIND 😭😭😭😭😫 I could beat the crap out of a punching bag right now!!!
I think about the people, friends even that cussed me when I had an abortion calling me a murderer and telling me maybe I won't be able to have kids after. I feel like they bloody wished it into existence and it just hurts so much I feel like my body is just a failure.
Sorry af come for you 😔😔🤗🤗

Katie1109 · 28/03/2020 09:51

Morning ladies x
@Mumofboys17 sorry af arrived x oooo FW around birthday will be nice! x
@Missgoldilocks sorry you’re feeling shit x I’ll be right there with you once my af arrives x it’s even worse now with the whole lockdown, can’t get out for nice meal or anything :(
I’m 13 DPO today and af is due today x no cramps so far x cm still white and plenty and boobs sore x no other symptoms to report, just waiting for af now x

Mumofboys17 · 28/03/2020 09:58

@Missgoldilocks oh babe 🙁 I completely understand. It's SO shit!! I also hate that we always assume it's us at fault. When I first suggested testing/input on DH's part he looked at me as though I was speaking another language! I'm like this is a two way street, huns! I had a go at him last night tbf. He started getting narky that I'd asked him to take vitamins. I just shouted at him "well do you want a baby or not?!" Makes me so mad!! We're fine now 🙄
Easier said than done, but DO NOT dwell on the past! And DEFINITELY not on nasty things other people have said. Their opinions are NOT relevant. We cannot change the past. But we CAN decide how we feel right now and what we want to do about the future. It will happen for you eventually, wish I could say why it hasn't for any of us but I know we'll all get there eventually 😘 keep going xxx

@Katie1109 genuinely have EVERYTHING crossed for you 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻 xxx

@katie1109 really really hope af stays away for you!!!!! ❤️ ❤️ 💕

@Mumofboys17 thank you 🤗🤗 I just feel sooooooo shit right now, some days it's hard to just think positive or at least even normal!! I know you understand ❤️🤗 all of you girls we have been through it together for gods sake and we are still going!! 😢🤗😔 It's so hard

LV1987 · 28/03/2020 11:10

Morning all, off on a 6 hour round trip today to pick up my step children... We are avoiding service station loos for obvious reasons, so this should be interesting. Not sure I remember how to pee in a bush 😂🤦‍♀️
@missgoldilocks we all have a past, but it's important to leave it there. As @Mumofboys17 has said, we cannot control or change what has already happened, but we can control how we move on from it. Hang on in there xx

Missgoldilocks · 28/03/2020 12:21

Sorry guys for being negative ❤️❤️

@lv1987 thanks xx

Mumofboys17 · 28/03/2020 12:45

@Missgoldilocks don't apologise!! It's what we're all here for, if we didn't keep each other going through all this I would have given up a LONG time ago!! ❤️ you're allowed to have a shit day, and it will pass xx

@LV1987 DH is one of those that NEVER stops if I need a wee. He was reluctant even when I was pregnant!! 🙄 it's doable, just keep drinks in the car to a minimum 😬😂 good luck!! Xx

@Mumofboys17 thank you xxx

@lv1987 don't drink too much!! Haha xx

Katie1109 · 28/03/2020 16:12

Still no af here girls x no cramps and no symptoms either way other than sore boobs on sides x but I’m 100% sure it’s on the way x

Mumofboys17 · 28/03/2020 16:31

@Katie1109 I'm so anxious for you!! How are you feeling? X

OP posts:
Katie1109 · 28/03/2020 17:17

@Mumofboys17 I’m anxious too, so is my OH x but for now we’re enjoying a chill and a movie on a sofa x I’m not feeling any different at all x no symptoms, just sore boobs x absolutely nothing else, so af will probably arrive tomorrow x

LV1987 · 28/03/2020 18:09

I didn't make it! Had to pee behind a bush 😂 it's no fun being the only girl in the family! But currently enjoying snuggles with the youngest while his dad and brother play Need For Speed, so it was worth it ❤️

Beau20 · 28/03/2020 21:48

@Katie1109 when is AF due? What's you RHR like? I'm gonna say it, I think you are pregnant!

Sorry if I've missed anyone else's messaged, had a little day off xx

Fredthespider · 29/03/2020 10:49

I'm in complete shock this morning. I decided to take an OPK to confirm it was going down to negative after I got a peak on Friday only to find that it was still a peak. Thinking a bit 'huh' then took an IC only for it to be a blaring positive. So it turns out they were right that you can be really fertile after a loss!

I'm flabbergasted frankly. I've worked it back to when we DTD on the 4th March, but I had spotting and some serious cramps and what I'd say period level bleeding between the 14th-22nd March, bad enough cramps that I took naproxen Blush. I did a FRER on the 16th March which was negative. So right now I'm not sure exactly when I ovulated or therefore how far along I am.

I've agreed with OH that we're just going to chill for a couple of weeks to see how things go. If I get any pain then I'll go straight into the early pregnancy unit as I'm at a higher risk of another ectopic. Otherwise we'll wait for lockdown to blow over and then we can go in for a scan. I'm speechless right now!

Fredthespider · 29/03/2020 10:52

I'd heard of positive OPKs when pregnant and here's the proof Shock

Missgoldilocks · 29/03/2020 10:55

@Fredthespider omg that's amazing!!! I'm so happy for you 🤗🤗🤗 I hope it all goes well and its a stick bean 😁💐🙏 I'm sure it'll be fine so be positive take it easy (best time since lockdown haha!!) xxxx

I have a question girls, my rhr has been 59bpm for the past 3 days, my af is due 4rh April. Its low so does that mean I'm not pregnant? Every month I'm like wow must not be pregnant because my rhr isn't climbing...
I'm 8 dpo today and yesterday at 7dpo I had a sharp rise in temperature, 36.5,when I normally have a dip around then, then today its gone doen to 36.2. I know it doesn't mean much till I have high temps past af due date..

Fredthespider · 29/03/2020 11:04

Thank you @Missgoldilocks! I'm sorry I can't help on the HR or temp though as I've never done that. I've got my fingers crossed for you though xx

LV1987 · 29/03/2020 11:26

Omg @Fredthespider that's fantastic!!!! ❤️

Missgoldilocks · 29/03/2020 11:31

@Fredthespider thank you!! I'm really so happy for you that's such great news. Every time I see one of us girls with a positive it gives me. Hope again 😁😁❤️ how long was you trying again? Did you do anything different xx

Mumofboys17 · 29/03/2020 11:44

@Fredthespider oh my god!!! I'm so shocked but SO happy for you! Feel a bit teary eyed now! 😂❤️
If you don't mind me asking, was the 'period level' bleeding heavy or just light bleeding?

You really deserve this after everything I'm so pleased to read something positive this morning! Xxx
