Just want AF to arrive so new cycle can begin...

[CaribouCarafe]

AF due in 3 days.

Am sure I'm out this month - negative FRER today and I have the usual PMS acne.

Just want my period to come already so that I can get this useless cycle over with and have a commiseration beer.

Just frustrating as have been taking pre-conception vitamins for months, cut out caffeine, no alcohol during TWW, have DTD every other day, tracked ovulation and with no success.

Anyone else fancy a moan whilst waiting for AF to show up?

@mrswilso omg that graph!! 😍
It can be a good sign, I’ve read arguments for both ways so I wouldn’t worry!
Ooh the pink CM is interesting, I hope it’s a good sign. See how you go today and if you get anymore spotting and if not test in the morning!!

@LS2020 I'm at 1.5 hour hold on my SMU right now trying my hardest not to waste a FRER 🤣🤣🤣

@mrswilso you can’t possibly be still holding...

🤣🤣🤣 @Sunbird24
I ended up managing not to test - peed in the cup and everything but threw it away...
Gaaaah! 🤣

Ooh, don’t know how to feel about that! 😂 Well done on not wasting a test?

@Sunbird24 I've been patting myself on the back so you're spot on 🤩🤣
Had a bit more spotting when I wiped there...think maybe it is AF 😤 not full blown yet so still secretly hoping...we'll see...

Well done @mrswilso for not wasting the test but annoying you’ve had a bit more. That’s what happened to me the previous 2 cycles where it came early, I’ve never had spotting or anything and was like ??

I tested, getting fainter!

Glad to hear things are moving along for you @Sunbird24 🥳
Just checked and my spotting has disappeared for now 🤞🏻✨

@Sunbird24 glad to hear it’s getting lighter!

@mrswilso really hope it’s stayed away ❤️ My boobs are agony today. Hope it means my hormones are normalising and not AF arriving early 😂

Well this is a new one, boobs were so sore in night it woke me like 3 times and even impacted my dreams, RHR is still kinda low though so 🤷‍♀️

Pretty confident it's AF now..bugger! 😤

Oh that’s rubbish @mrswilso have a big glass of wine tonight!

Oh pants! Stupid witch, always turning up at the wrong time but never around when you want her

So I got excited as I had a bit of blood on some toilet paper this afternoon, realised later it’s just a small cut on my lady parts and now it’s gets sore when I pee 😂

@LS2020 commiserations - I had that once except I thought it was an implantation bleed! I need to stop being such a cheapskate with razors...

@mrswilso how are you doing? (TMI because this is definitely a thing for me!) but I have to admit with your first post I just assumed you had some hangover shits! Hope you're feeling better now!

@Sunbird24 how're you doing? Hope the hayfever has eased up?

My period began on Wednesday right after I posted...just settling into a nice bottle of commiseration wine now that the weekend has started...

@CaribouCarafe hubby cooked me a lovely meal the night before too so I was secretly hoping he'd poisoned me 🤣
Unfortunately not - most definitely definitely AF 😠 starting to get to the "at least I have another month of drinking" stage now 🤣
I am genuinely done. Think I'm gonna be trying/not trying for a few months now...cannot be bothered with the constant let downs...

PS I'm sooo with you with the wine tonight too haha!

@mrswilso have to admit I've not really been trying properly for the last few months, but am now almost feeling ready to start doing OPKs and everything again. A few months out is definitely helpful mental-health-wise...

Rules are if you get wasted you'll need to leave a lovely drunk post for us to revel in

Also am jealous of your DH being able to cook a lovely meal. The most mine can manage is "vaguely edible"

Ironically, I guess the emoji was appropriate...but not in the way I intended

@CaribouCarafe I felt like such a Wally 😂 I need to do some landscaping for my tests this next month so will try to remember that too!

@mrswilso I took sometime out over Xmas/new year and was really helpful. I want to know what these people who ‘stop trying’ do because even when I don’t track I’m always thinking about. Tbf if this test comes back ok, I’ll be referred on for IVF so need to lose some weight so am gonna take 3/4 months to try lose some, guess that will see!

I'm telling yous cos I'm actually extremely proud of myself...I epilate my entire lady garden...all of it...with one of those epilator things 🥴 the first few times required a whole bottle of wine to get through the pain but now I do it weekly and it's nowhere near as bad 🤣 HIGHLY recommend actually 😉👅🤣

@CaribouCarafe he's actually a really good cook but I tend to shove him out the kitchen cos it's just not worth washing every single pot, pan and plate every night 🤣

Wowsers @mrswilso you’re nails! I only manage to shave round the edges and then hit it with the Philips Lumea to slow down regrowth!

@mrswilso omg you are made of stern stuff, I can’t even get use my epilator on my legs, it’s hurts too much 😂
