@Beau20 it's insane isn't it! I've just gone to a Tesco express, admittedly slightly in panic following the PM's latest announcement 😬 I got milk cereal and bananas, which is what I needed! Zero bread though or frozen goods. Bloody madness. Like you I feel the stress when I see how bare the shelves are! X

@Beau20 @Mumofboys17 same here! I went to buy paella rice and there was nothing!! I just made paella with bloody basmati rice 😂 no meat nothing, its fish all week! X

Just realized I haven't seen @Ellsbelles around for a while on these conception boards. Hope she is ok, has she changed her name? She usually pops up on my other thread sometimes. I know she had some tests she was waiting on

ChampooPapi · 18/03/2020 21:52

I know that user name is probably spelt wrong so hoping someone will tag her

Symptomspotter86 · 18/03/2020 21:58

Found the new thread!!

I've worked 10 days straight, 17 hour days trying to get over 700 clients home from their holidays that are abroad and the borders shut on the countries they are in. Many stuck on boats and many unable to get home because flights have ceased. It has been the most trying and testing time ever with about 4 hours sleep a day. And was meant to be going to Mautitius tomorrow as well (obviously not now)

I'm in my FW this week as well. Fucking stressful.

Sorry to come here and bring doom and gloom. After sleep I'll be brighter.

Where are you all in your cycle l? I need to catch up, missed chatting to you ladies and laughing at our craziness!!!

@Missgoldilocks love love love your kitty. My 2 ginger cats are going to be my best mates in my house now I'm working from home.

Snowwhite2020 · 19/03/2020 07:34

Can you see it? You need to squint really hard.... super super faint and I know you can’t tell how things will go as only 10DPO...

@ChampooPapi hey! I'm ellsbells lol 😁 how are you doing? Still waiting on sperm results which are in today and I have a telephone app with doc at 9.30 so I'll know results then!

@snowwhite2020 I see it!! Congratulations! Get a first response I bet you'll have a lovely line on it if you got a line on that test!

@Symptomspotter86 hero!! Well done chick ❤️ I've been loving having him, he's an absolute pleasure!! Sleeps next to us all night lol

So cd13 for me and got a flashing smiley, I don't want to dtd too much because me and OH have felt really pressured into doing it, it hasn't been for pleasure which sucks. I think we will only do it twice during the fertile week, depending on what the results say today as well since if he has a low sperm count then better less anyway. So I'll probably ovulate on Saturday, thinking to dtd Friday and Saturday and leave it be!

ChampooPapi · 19/03/2020 08:26

@Missgoldilocks so glad your alive and kicking! I got a bit worried, I know people do dissapear, often when they get a bfp so not always a bad reason, but was starting to think you'd had really bad news or something bad had happened.

Everything crossed for good results this morning, you've got them done at the right time as I reckon things could go very tits up from here on in with anything like that on the NHS. Thank goodness you got them down when you did, all the best to you 😘

Missgoldilocks · 19/03/2020 08:50

@ChampooPapi thanks 😘😘 yeah, if the results are good though she'll be referring me for a dye test! I'll bet that will take ages but the ball is rolling and we are still trying throughout the process. How are you what's going on? Where are you in your cycle x

Katie1109 · 19/03/2020 10:51

Morning all x
Day 2 working from home for me today and already going mental. I don't know how people do it all the time! My dog constantly distracts me, trying to have a video conference when he tries to climb up on me with his toy in the mouth!
I'm 4DPO today and quite a lot of yellowy creamy cm - sorry tmi. Nothing else to report, some pinching on my left side yesterday evening but nothing since. How's everyone else doing?

ChampooPapi · 19/03/2020 12:02

@Katie1109 what you described is literally just like having a toddler and trying to do anything 😅 so maybe good practice! Bloody irritating though, I've been there. Wrote a thesis with my first bouncing around half the time, least they can absorb into cartoons though . Are you self isolating as well? Getting out for half an hour helps a lot

@Missgoldilocks any news? I'm due on my af this Sunday/Monday so we will see!

Missgoldilocks · 19/03/2020 12:16

@ChampooPapi his results in, his sperm is fine, count mobility etc all good. The amount of live sperm was a little low (still in the correct amount) but she said not to worry because that can happen through the process of them freezing it etc. She's gonna refer me for a lap test which is gonna take months since everything is shut down 😔 but his sperm is fine!

Beau20 · 19/03/2020 12:42

@katie1109 my OH was on a conference call before and the dog started going mad with his giant squeaky Christmas pudding 😂 he also keeps jumping on my lap while I'm sat at the table working. A springer spaniel so he's not exactly tiny!

@Missgoldilocks good news about OHs sperm. I know it's awful the wait for your test but it's really really good that health wise OH is one less thing to worry about and he's good to go so to speak.

Snowwhite2020 · 19/03/2020 13:04

I agree with @Beau20. I hope you are able to get tests booked soon. Xx

Beau20 · 19/03/2020 13:16

@Snowwhite2020 eeek so sorry I didn't even see toot last post! I 10000% see a line!!! Congratulations xxx

Katie1109 · 19/03/2020 13:18

@ChampooPapi no I'm not self isolating, I've already been on a walk with the dog twice today!
@Beau20 mine is a 45kg Doberman...lol so when he jumps up at me when I'm sitting, his head is above mine. He's still very puppy like at 3 years old :) very lively, but very gentle at the same time, love him to bits :)

Snowwhite2020 · 19/03/2020 13:28

Thanks so much @Beau20 and @Missgoldilocks. Fingers crossed that line gets darker over the next few days xx

Beau20 · 19/03/2020 13:41

@Katie1109 awww my OH really wants a Doberman!! I want a Hungarian Vizsla so either way, a huge dog 😂 maybe after (if) we've had a child. Alternatively I would accept 6 sausage dogs (my other favourite breed)

Beau20 · 19/03/2020 13:41

@Snowwhite2020 have you got a FRER?

Snowwhite2020 · 19/03/2020 13:51

I’m pretty sure the test I used was a mommed one- I thought that was early response... but not a FRER. Will test again over next few days xx

LV1987 · 19/03/2020 15:49

@Snowwhite2020 I can also see a line, yay!

Second day WFH here as well... My in laws have a girl rottie who has kept me company in the past during wfh days. She came up to take me for a walk yesterday, she's a beast! 😂

Still nooooo idea where I am in my cycle, but I've got loads of creamy cm and my heart rate seems to be going down a beat each day, despite my increased stress levels right not... So I'm hoping I am gearing up for a little bit of ovulation action! Coooooome on little eggy, you can do it!!!

Beau20 · 19/03/2020 17:30

@LV1987 I've managed to mow my lawn, 2 loads of washing, tidy and clean the kitchen all whilst completing work tasks 😂

I'm CD6 today according to all my apps. I've had some slight twinges on my right side although pretty sure I usually get these. Ignoring it all for now!! No possible way I could be pregnant last time I DTD In fertile time was 4 days before ovulation. If I can't get pregnant doing it all the right days normally I ain't got a hope in hells chance this time 😂

Symptomspotter86 · 19/03/2020 19:08

@Missgoldilocks that is good news about OH little fellas.

@Beau20 @Katie1109 I feel like animals are the winners in this Corona situation and us all working from home and giving them more company!

Me and OH wfh in the same room at the moment and I think we may end up killing each other as both of us have a lot of stress in our work due to CV.

Missgoldilocks · 19/03/2020 19:31

Thanks guys. So this month I've been taking 2000 mg of primrose oil, robuttisin cough medicine and grapefruit juice. Not a lick of ewcm 🙄 I hope I get some tomorrow!! Mehhhh

How are we all? Xx

WaitingOnThePositive · 19/03/2020 22:40

@Missgoldilocks great news about OH sperm and at least you are getting referral for lap. Will give you more answers hopefully.
@Snowwhite2020 fingers crossed for you.
I'm waiting for FW think I'm probably at the start of it. Today is first day I could even attempt to do anything BD wise after lap and dye so will see what happens!
