Not sure how often OP goes on!!! Eeeek so thought I'd start a new one as running out of space. Hope that's ok....

@popcorndiva I'm with you, 5dpo too early for symptoms but too late to change anything. This month i'm just trying to stay as calm as possible to make my baby hotel as accommodating as possible for any little beans that fancy a stay. Try and find some things that you enjoy doing/ eating/ watching over the next couple days to keep you occupied 😊 when will you test?

@MrsEmilyB yep I've got mine in DPs amazon basket when AF arrives I'll get it ordered normally comes next day

RobinRose · 07/05/2020 17:11

@MrsEmilyB I was thinking of trying everyday around peak but it feels too forced. I think every other day is a little less stressful! and still good coverage. I think I know when I will ovulate 🤞so will just dtd a couple of times after I get my peak for good measure. There’s only so much we can do isn’t there? And people do conceive all the time just by dtd once!

Littlebump2018 · 07/05/2020 17:25

@MrsEmilyB I only used 5 so I started testing 3 days after my period finished although I know it said start using them like 5/7days after it finished but I didn't want to miss it if I ovulated early!

MrsEmilyB · 07/05/2020 17:39

@SmileyT - can you only take it at certain times in your cycle?

@RobinRose - absolutely! It just takes once! I've definitely been a nag this FW but I think it's because I know June is out for me.

@littlebump2018 that's great. I've gone through about 20 strips in the last week. 😭😭

popcorndiva · 07/05/2020 17:54

@SmileyT think I am going to a Frer next weds as should be at least 10dpo. Then I can get onto Amazon to order some more wondfu opk tests for next month

Work have confirmed today we will be WFH until at least early June now.

velarisstar · 07/05/2020 18:01

@MrsEmilyB thanks, red lady sang so will be June bus now!

Does anyone else try and think each month that goes by is longer to save up/sort out the house?

Really helps keep the sanity hearing everyone going through similar things, absolute lol from some comments in this chat! As always good luck everyone.

@MrsEmilyB I used the CB ones you test once a day with your FMU I’ll find a link with the instructions. I found them great, used them on DD too and caught the first time! I had one day negative two days flashing smiley and then my static smiley. I started testing on cycle day 10

Jesus girls I’m 5 pages behind lol xxx

MrsEmilyB · 07/05/2020 18:25

@velarisstar - ohh no! Sorry 😔 although yes I have the same thoughts! Another month is another 4 weeks of decorating, or house sorting, or saving!

@coronababy - amazing! adds to amazon basket for when AF comes

Juno231 · 07/05/2020 18:31

@velarisstar good point! We're in the process of buying a complete fixer upper at stupid London prices so god knows we need the extra time!

SmileyT · 07/05/2020 18:34

@MrsEmilyB I think you can take it throughout the cycle as there is actually a small amount in the pregnacare pre-conception pills so can't see it being harmful. Think it just increases increases blood supply to ovaries and uterus so helps with ovulation and implantation. But haven't read loads so don't quote me on that 😬

@popcorndiva one good thing about being a key worker is the days go bloody quick it's just the evenings I have to fill. I think I'm just going to wait for AF to be late before I think about testing so I'm thinking the 20th x

popcorndiva · 07/05/2020 19:23

@SmileyT I am also considering whether to just keep an eye on my rhr and only test if I see it skyrocketing. Frers are expensive and DH was not impressed when he found out how much they were, and I ',was just pissing on them'

popcorndiva · 07/05/2020 19:26

I do think every extra month means it's more and more likely DS will be potty tried when DC2 comes along. I don't want two in nappies. This month he will be 2 years 5 months when born. Next month 2 and a half

popcorndiva · 07/05/2020 19:26

Potty trained not tried

Skyla01 · 07/05/2020 19:50

@SmileyT loving your relaxed attitude!

@Newbie0818 I still have the hunger! What about you?

SmileyT · 07/05/2020 19:50

@popcorndiva When I got pg in Feb my RHR was pretty stable up to 7dpo, but went up 11bpm between 7dpo and 14dpo so that will definitely be a sign.

Ahh also I love the age gap you'd have, my nephews are actually 16months apart and when the youngest started walking I was terrified taking them to the park because they'd run in different directions and I'd shit myself one would fall in the lake 🙈 but they are the bloody cutest.

Juno231 · 07/05/2020 20:21

@popcorndiva yeah I only use FRERs if late, otherwise I use lots of cheapies :)

BabyG123 · 07/05/2020 20:22

@popcorndiva I was only thinking this earlier. I'd defo have 2 in nappies. If I am now DS1 will be 23 months. 🥰

@popcorndiva just pissing on them! You gave me a good laugh!! 😂😂😂

Newbie0818 · 07/05/2020 21:15

@Skyla01 still hungry but not painfully so like the other day, think it’s because I’ve allowed myself to eat more today 😂

Bethy1995 · 07/05/2020 21:36

Back again, so hard to keep up with all the messages on this thread!

Congrats to those that got their bfp, how exciting!!

Ive been having a few weird symptoms so im coming up to ovulation if i havent ovulated already and ive been feeling like stretching cramps almost right on my bikini line. Is that normal? Its so strange ive never had it before so its not like a period cramp or anything. Anyone else had this?

Fluffkins14 · 07/05/2020 22:39

Help! I haven't even ovulated yet due over the weekend/Monday but I feel rubbish and don't even want to DTD, I just feel so low and insecure about myself.. DH tries to compliment but don't all come across this way... he tries 🤣🤣 my mood is low as hell! No hope this month at this rate

MrsEmilyB · 07/05/2020 22:51

@Bethy1995 - sounds like that could be ovulation pains you're experiencing!

@Fluffkins14 - ohh bless you 😔 it does feel like that sometimes! A couple of times this month it's been a bit "lights off, no touching" 😂😂
