@Newbie0818 if it gets you down, don't test. I went to test on Sat then bailed beacause I knew a stark white test would upset me more then AF.

@Juno231 If I wasn't bbt-ing I would have expected AF yesterday, but because I have ovulated later than usual, probs due tomorrow/thursday.

Lots of newbies 🤗 welcome all
@LaceyMermaid no don't wait! To help cows and sheep come on heat you also put a bull/ram otherside of the fence 😆🤣 so your OH can be let loose 🤣🤣

Katao · 04/08/2020 21:12

Aw @Newbie0818 that's tough! Some cycles are harder than others. Maybe compromise and wait until Friday? Then if it's a bfn you can have Friday to deal with it. I really hope it's not!

blodyn91 · 04/08/2020 21:12

@lucyrp how long did you hold your wee for? Might just be very hydrated.

Katao · 04/08/2020 21:15

🤣🤣🤣 @blodyn91 you are killing me with the cow/bull approach to ttc!

lucyrp · 04/08/2020 21:17

@blodyn91 it was an all day hold since I'd left home at 8:30am and thag was at like 4:30pm. I had drank a lot tho but just taking another OPK now and waiting for it to develop but looks pretty much the same

LaceyMermaid · 04/08/2020 21:21

@blodyn91 🤣 as soon as AF is over then I’ll let him in! Until then he can stay behind the fence!

@Newbie0818 have you tried Agnus castus? Sorry if I’m suggesting things you‘ve already tried, I heard it helps regulate your cycle? I still think you’re in with a shot though!

2alreadywantanother · 04/08/2020 21:22

This month is so different from last. Last month I'd sore boobs, metal taste in mouth and naps during the day. My RHR went up then went down and af arrived. This month I'm 5dpo and nothing, boobs fine. Rhr gliding around the same this wk. But i do have a bad headache all day. I'm blaming the heavy weather.

Anyway do u remember me telling u I lost my walking buddy, she fell pregnant and hasnt been walking much since.
Well I wasnt doing as much, still walking but not as many km as I'd like (hate walking alone) so another friend I went to sw with text saying she wants to go. She put on weight during covid like most of us. That's grand, happy days. Walking buddy to het me out. What does she drop on me. The pregnancy bomb. I'm like ur shitting me. Delighted for her. They were trying a while. I told her we are ttc. Just hope I'm not left with a circle of friends with newborns and me in the corner crying 😂🙈🙈

Newbie0818 · 04/08/2020 21:23

@blodyn91 @Katao I think Friday it may be as that'll give af time to come, and if not, if it's a bfn we'll be on our way to Yorkshire for our little "holiday" so that will distract me. Gah I wish I had poas addiction sometimes it would be way easier than chickening out of it all the time 😂

Newbie0818 · 04/08/2020 21:25

@LaceyMermaid I'm trying inositol for a few months as that's supposed to really help with pcos, and so far so good, earlier ovulation I've had so far with it :) if no luck I may try Agnus Castus though, much cheaper!

2020mission · 04/08/2020 21:25

@Newbie0818 I hope you're wrong and AF doesn't arrive 🤞 I would hold off testing unless you need to know right now though as I know it hurts seeing BFN and it's not worth the upset. I know it so hard to resist though!

LaceyMermaid · 04/08/2020 21:29

@Newbie0818 That’s good, knew you’d know more than me!! I’d wait because personally I find a bfn depresses me! It’s good you’ve got a holiday though that will take your mind of it all

NotSoPatientlyWaiting · 04/08/2020 21:29

Off to buy another test box tomorrow - ready for testing Saturday. Does anyone else rotate the shops they buy them from?🙈
@blodyn91 should we add wearing a cowbell to the hints and tips?

blodyn91 · 04/08/2020 21:31

@Katao @LaceyMermaid glad you are enjoying my animal/human comparisons 🤣
@lucyrp don't stress if its not higher today, hopefully tomorrow will be your day

blodyn91 · 04/08/2020 21:32

@NotSoPatientlyWaiting hahahaha now things are getting kinky!

NotSoPatientlyWaiting · 04/08/2020 21:33

@Newbie0818 fingers crossed for no AF arrival!

Juno231 · 04/08/2020 21:37

@blodyn91 ah well I guess if you're with parents and can't test you'll know one way or another regardless! Fingers crossed AF shines with its absence 🤞

@NotSoPatientlyWaiting I get all mine online! Just get OH judging me then 🤣

LT103 · 04/08/2020 21:47

@NotSoPatientlyWaiting I get mine from amazon. I feel self conscious buying them from shops and always worried I bump into someone I know haha

Franklydear · 04/08/2020 21:51

@LT103 I go one better, I get dh to buy them🤯

Mrsi2020 · 04/08/2020 21:59

Haha I’m creasing at you girls buying tests i usuallt order mine online. I buy the one step ICs for resting early altho they’ve always been accurate, when a line has showed even a slight shadow on them I’ve had a clear frer.

@Juno231 thank you so much for replying, I didn’t see it! we’ve did 6 nights in a row so we’re both happy enough to take a night off tonight and hope I’ve already ov’d I’ve been resting away today and there’s absolutely nothing. It’s so hard. I’ve had 6 cycles this year and 4 ended in Mc so it’s impossible for me to see a pattern. I’ve taken baby aspirin this month after speaking to my gp so I’d love to eee a bfp to see if it makes any difference.

Girlies waiting to test I really hope af decks off until 2021! There’s a right few from this thread have graduated I was delighted to see , just need the rest of you to piss off on the bus too ;) and take me with you lol xx

SarahTTC2020 · 04/08/2020 22:07

@Juno231 sounds so promising! If you get your bfp everyone will be fighting to be bus driver as it must be lucky 🤣

Newbie0818 · 04/08/2020 22:08

@2020mission @NotSoPatientlyWaiting thank you :) if I get the bfn on Friday at least I can enjoy a glass of fizz!

@LaceyMermaid I'm just desperately trying everything 😂

LT103 · 04/08/2020 22:17

@Franklydear I can’t imagine what I’d end up with if I sent oh for them 🤣🤣

lucyrp · 05/08/2020 06:49

ANOTHER FLASHING SMILEY for me this morning. I give up 🤣😭

MrsCrumbtious · 05/08/2020 07:16

I remember buying a digital test once in boots and it set the alarms off (I paid for it first of course 😉). Had the security guard rummage through my purchases to find said test then he held it up and shouted to his colleague (like a foghorn) “These pregnancy tests are setting off the alarm again” could have died on the spot 🤯😱😖

Anyone testing this morning?

lucyrp · 05/08/2020 07:20

On the buying test front I just buy them from wherever and most of the time see loads of people I know in our local supermarket but I'm past the stage of caring now although I do have to buy FRERS online as I don't have a Superdrug near me to get them from.

Another note I bought some tests from said supermarket a while back and was buying stuff for my DS at the same time and the cashier just scanned Everutning then got to the pregnancy tests and went "oh dear" and laughed .... I figured it was maybe because I looked young but I was still in my 20s and I felt so judged and annoyed by the fact that she felt buying a test was for an accident ?! So rude, like no honey I am trying very hard for this and that isn't acceptable 🙄
