Hopefulmummie · 23/04/2020 07:54

So I caved and took a test this morning.. BFN :(

ArjaD · 23/04/2020 07:55

@Hopefulmummie aw so sorry xx where are you in your cycle? X

Hopefulmummie · 23/04/2020 07:56

@ArjaD 13DPO. AF due tomorrow

ArjaD · 23/04/2020 08:16

Aw well it could still happen. A gp recently told one of the ladies on here that on average, women tend to get a bfp when they are a week late! So fingers crossed 🤞🤞 any af symptoms?

Hopefulmummie · 23/04/2020 08:30

@arjaD bit of cramping and sore back which I never really get so confused if it's at symptoms or pregnancy symptoms

Donnat89 · 23/04/2020 08:34

Morning ladies so the spotting hasn't turned into AF I'm so confused I still feel as if she's on her way !

Hi ladies sorry I've been a bit quiet my hubby's granny died yesterday and the family is still in complete shock! We've been told nobody is allowed to visit the remains and everything is to be arranged over the phone this is such a horrible time for someone to pass away this coronavirus has got a lot to answer for the sooner its gone the better! How's everyone doing today?

@NicoleR14 I'm so sorry to hear that thoughts are with all your family at this sad time
Xxxx

Another update from me - I've just gone to the loo again about an hour after I first checked and now bright red blood when I wipe still nothing in underwear so I've put a pad in should be full by the time I check next so think I'm defo out now . Don't know if it was a dodgy test or a chemical but not my month this month !
Xxx

shelly10111 · 23/04/2020 08:57

Morning ladies, had a tiny bit of brown in my knickers before bed last night which I never get this early before next period, still a whole week away and I'm 9dpo - hoping that could be a good sign 😯

Donnat89 · 23/04/2020 09:02

@shelly10111 defo sounds like a good sign fingers crossed for you xxx

Jaylou7 · 23/04/2020 09:29

Sorry for your loss 😢😘

Naera95 · 23/04/2020 09:37

So sorry for you loss. And also fingers crossed for everyone next month that got their AF

Bbutterfly · 23/04/2020 09:43

@Donnat89 oh how annoying, I was convinced you had a bfp honestly. I think you're right about not testing until af missed because it's just giving ourselves more to stress over. Hope you're ok.
@NicoleR14 thinking of you, sorry for your sad news, it's terrible these times and not being able to have proper funerals etc. ♥️ xx

Donnat89 · 23/04/2020 09:57

@Bbutterfly yes I'm not doing it anymore as it just causes more stress , AF is in full flow now so not sure if it was a faulty test or a chemical , but on to next month I go !

Good luck to all of you still waiting !

Xxx

Jaylou7 · 23/04/2020 10:50

Keep positive ladies the BFP will come along for us all soon. Sending u all virtual hugs and a glass of wine. 💕🙏

Donnat89 · 23/04/2020 10:58

@Jaylou7 thanks hun , we are
Going to try the SMEP plan this month and I've ordered a femometer kit as AF keeps being late so I'm obviously missing ovulation or something least but tracking il know for sure when I ovulate xx

Jaylou7 · 23/04/2020 11:21

I’ve used the clear blue this month used before too and it worked for me then not sure this month though as only did once (wasn’t feeling it 🤣) he says I only do it when I want a baby.
Not heard of SMEP. I’m sure you will get your BFP soon. Can’t wait to find out xx

ArjaD · 23/04/2020 11:22

@Donnat89 aw sorry Mrs, I was convinced you had a bfp there too 😢 onward and upward xxx
@NicoleR14 soooo sorry for your loss 😭 never a good time for it but atm it is particularly stressful 😩 hope you're ok xxx

Donnat89 · 23/04/2020 11:33

@ArjaD thanks hun , yes I'm moving on from this cycle and going to track exactly when I ovulate so at least I won't have this next month il know I'm late if that makes sense and defo not testing early !

Wish me luck ! Xx

ArjaD · 23/04/2020 11:49

@Donnat89 🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞 I'm keeping an eye on this thread till you all join me in the bfp pile!

Thank you ladies will try and keep an eye on this thread as well until everything gets back to normal I had a bfn on a clear blue this morning so I presume I'm not pg as I thought it would have picked something up by now!

Does anyone have any experience with conception vitamins. Are they worth taking?

ArjaD · 23/04/2020 13:13

@Hopefulmummie I started off with Pregnacare but binned them after 4 months as they just made my cycle longer and longer. I wasn't on any when we fell pregnant.

GemmaMay3291 · 23/04/2020 13:22

@Hopefulmummie

I have just started taking pregnacare (2 weeks) so too early to tell. I’ve been taking Vitex and Vitamin B6 too (2 months) as I’ve had issues with hormone imbalances and they seem to have helped my cycles become more regular. My last cycle was the first time I’ve had a textbook cycle in 6 months. Xx
