Just that really - trying to keep away from the early testing. Anyone else waiting?

@Curious012 I know, I have never really liked AF coming I used to b2b my pills every other month when I was younger. Now I get it like clockwork, it is just so annoying and there's no way I wouldn't know if I was pregnant now.
I don't think there's any point rearranging just yet, as we don't know when things will be back to normal. But I have let them know that I want the appointment, just best to have those resources for sick people right now. It's just going to be lots of trying ourselves with supplements and diet for now. Nice to have supportive threads like this, even seeing others getting BFP gives me hope that one day I will have a BFP x

@Curious012 I know the tww feels like a month, it's hell. I wouldn't mind so much to go through that wait if it actually did result in something 🤰 I'm ok, feel very tired today and my boobs are so sore and swollen, can't even wear a bra. Atleast your half way through now, hopefully not to much longer for you to wait, so hope you get your bfp this month 🤞🤞apart from feel shattered, are you getting any other symptoms? X

laurah92 · 23/04/2020 12:46

@Suki2020 same, I'm still getting wcm now, so confusing, we are still dtd every other day anyways just to make sure x

laurah92 · 23/04/2020 12:50

@Fawnandwren oh know I'm so sorry to hear that!! Our body's can really be horrible to us and trick us, i was a few days late last month and really got my hopes up and then she showed her ugly face. This whole ttc is so stressful. Are you still going to have the tests done? X

Suki2020 · 23/04/2020 15:25

@laurah92 it’s so strange I’ve never had this before. Just have to wait and see if my period comes this weekend like I think it should or whether the fertility friend app is correct if so will have to wait until 5th May. I’m so sure I ovulated around 7th April but the app puts it at 17th. I’m so moody today, had a headache on and off for 5days now and been bloated for a week. Not sure if it’s my body playing tricks on me.

laurah92 · 23/04/2020 15:45

@Suki2020 I know, our bodies can be so horrible to us and play tricks on us, last month, I was so convinced that I was pregnant, I was 3-4 days late too then BAM she showed her ugly face. This month I have no clue what's going on, I don't think it's going to be my month, I've given up on this month, just going to wait till af comes and then start again, fingers crossed 🤞 for you, sending lots of baby dust your way x

Curious012 · 24/04/2020 09:10

@laurah92 no symptoms at all I don’t think just still feeling tired and a bit off like sickly but that could be any number of things. No sore boobs or anything like that so not holding out loads of hope - lets see if AF shows her ugly face this month.. still a few more days to go 😒
How are you today? X
@Fawnandwren I know what you mean I was religiously on the pill so scared of accidentally getting pregnant for years and now it’s not bloody happening, typical! I agree I love reading along on the threads on here with others going through the same. I think if you go by friends or people you know it seems everyone just falls straight away but that’s definitely not the case for loads of people
Hopefully you will see BFP in the next few months with just nutrition and diet - what vitamins do you take at the moment? X

@laurah92 sorry for the late reply, I was so moody yesterday that I decided it was best to turn off my phone and just chill out in the garden with a book. OH coped it bless him. I’m not normally moody like this. Think it’s all the change lately with being at home and not being able to work. OH is still working just from home so I’m trying to keep out of his way so I’m not distracting him.
Will you test anymore or just going to wait to see if af comes or not.

Fawnandwren · 24/04/2020 10:22

Morning Ladies @Curious012 @laurah92 vitamins me and DH are taking: Maca Root, CoQ10 (high absorption), Ashgwwanda, Vitamin C and I take broccoli sprouts for my skin. I have tried a few variations after seeing nutritionists, just having lots of veg and fruit and no sugar in my tea and lots of water. I've also read consuming high fat dairy, but I don't really do that.
We will go for the tests when we are out of this Lockdown, unless by some miracle I get pregnant. The supplements cost a fortune, it is really important to get good quality ones which are often not the cheap options x

Fawnandwren · 24/04/2020 10:23

How are you both feeling this AM have you tested yet? X @Curious012 @laurah92

Fawnandwren · 24/04/2020 10:26

@Suki2020 I felt like that yesterday, then had some separate bad news. My period is so heavy so just want to curl up in a ball rn. Hope today is better for you x

laurah92 · 24/04/2020 10:48

@Curious012 you never know, fingers crossed for you 🤞🤞 sending you lots of baby dust.
I'm feeling so tired today, so excited and feeling a bit down in the dumps today, think it's my job tho, I'm at work today and it's so stressful and busy, just want to go home x

Suki2020 · 24/04/2020 10:52

@fawnandwren oh no sorry to hear that, hope you are ok. Do you normally suffer with heavy periods? Yes I’m feeling better, still a little on edge. I only take folic acid, is that enough or should I be taking others as well? My GP only told me about folic acid.

laurah92 · 24/04/2020 13:45

@Suki2020 that's ok, I feel like that a bit today, very down in the dumps and very exhausted. Can't wait to finish work and get home. Roll on 8pm. How are you feeling today? I think I'm just going to wait to see if af arrives but I know what I'm like haha 😂 xx

Curious012 · 24/04/2020 14:52

@fawnandwren thanks for listing those supplements, I need to look into getting the same. Just trying to eat healthy and take normal Multis for now. Hope you’re feeling alright today! No testing here (yet) going to try and wait out until 30th but I know by Monday I’ll be itching to test 😂 x
@laurah92 I know got my fingers crossed too. Hope work isn’t taking too much out of you today! I feel shattered and just low today with all going on. Have you still seen elevated temp? X

Curious012 · 24/04/2020 14:53

@Suki2020 feeling moody here too!! Might try and switch off over the weekend and spend some time in the garden Smile

OP posts:
Fawnandwren · 24/04/2020 17:26

@Suki2020 yes folic acid too, it's such a small tablet I always forget I take it! I used to take iron which helped with my periods, but I've run out at the moment. I always get migraines on my periods but it helps if I take iron x
@Curious012 no worries, I mean I'm not pregnant yet. So clearly they are doing much atm, however ashwagandha and Maca help with balancing hormones and help with my skin issues and apparently with male and female fertility x

Fawnandwren · 24/04/2020 17:34

@Curious012 I bet the 30th feels ages away. I don't normally test before my AF due date, but that's because I am so regular. Hopefully you and @laurah92 have some good news x

Littlebee1990 · 24/04/2020 20:51

Ok I’m not ordering any more FRER another today and a BFN.. AF not due until 29th but if they’re in the house I can’t help myself. Just have this bad feeling it’s going to take us a long time and can’t shift it

Suki2020 · 25/04/2020 09:05

@laurah92 how are you feeling today? I felt better yesterday but a little down again today. Not sure if it’s hormones or just the lockdown getting to me.

laurah92 · 26/04/2020 10:54

Hey everyone 😊@Suki2020@Littlebee1990@Fawnandwren@Curious012
Sorry I haven't been on here the last few days, been so busy at work, so tired. How is everyone today?
I'm around 3dpo. My temperature has risen and stayed up so all looking good to confirm ovulation, I ovulated so late this month at cd 25, thought it wasn't going to happen this month. Me and oh was dtd till 1 dpo, so fingers crossed 🤞
How is everyone else? X

Littlebee1990 · 26/04/2020 10:59

AF due 29th, did a FRER on 24th and was negative.. don’t feel any different to normal so expecting AF this week!

Curious012 · 27/04/2020 08:33

Morning everyone!
Haven’t been on the last few days tried to relax over the weekend 😂 no symptoms here, 11DPO and feel completely normal so expecting AF to show her face on Thursday as predicted. Still trying to hold out from testing until then. Hope everyone is feeling good today Smile xx

Curious012 · 28/04/2020 08:26

Caved this morning and did an Amazon cheapie. BFN not even a hint of a line Sad at 12DPO I would expect to see something so looks like I’m out this month.
How’s everyone doing today? @laurah92 @Suki2020
@Littlebee1990 have you tested again? X

OP posts:
Littlebee1990 · 28/04/2020 08:35

@curious012 You’re not out until AF shows, I have EVERYTHING crossed for you. I’ve not tested again and AF due tomorrow. If she doesn’t show on time (not unusual to be a few days late) I’ll hold out until the weekend to test... I think
