@Tofu35 Do you mind me asking how long you've been trying?

Hah yes reflexology sounds much less pointy than acupuncture! @daffodil21

I'll be a year next month @bellabella84, although I stopped for a month during early covid because of 'end of the world' worries (and my cycles were all over the place). In the early months I didn't do the ovulation tests or the temping. It was very informal 😂
what about you?

@Tofu35 I think probably 4 or 5 cycles but I have a shocking sense of time! Only been trying OPKs and SMEP for 2 cycles though and as an 'all or nothing' kind of girl I'd argue with myself that can I really consider the cycles prior to that?!

Exactly, those first few months were a trial period, now it's the big guns @bellabella84! I said the same to DH, that we'd only been really trying since Jan/Feb and he was horrified that I would discount months.

DH managed to pick up some FRERs in town earlier so I'll be able to test from tomorrow. He's not even back yet and I already want to POAS 😂🙈😳

Bahaha! I don't think I knew what POAS was until now 😂 @daffodil21 good luck with your morning pee tomorrow!

I'm due AF tomorrow. We have made an agreement that I will wait and POAS on Saturday if I'm late so we can do it together. Has anyone else's OH wanted to POAS themselves just for fun? 🙄

BFN 😒😒😒

@Daffodil21 I'm gutted for you 😩@Bramleyapples13 Good luck keeping your Zen until then 🤞

Ah @Daffodil21, that's shit. I'm sorry. Are you doing ok? Take some time to yourself tonight - bath, chocolate, bottle of wine and a straw

Aww @daffodil21, that sucks. You're still early testing though, so hope there's still time this cycle for your BFP!x

Thanks all

@CEW19 I'm still living in hope so don't want to risk wine until AF appears on either Sunday or Monday.

DH said at least I've got a spare test if I'm late. I told him obviously I'm going to test again on Saturday as I have no self control 😂 I don't think he quite gets the obsession of knowing you can test early etc as I usually don't tell him!

@Daffodil21That's good. Another day or two of distraction tactics to get through then! I'm confused as hell here, bit more bleeding when I wiped this morning, nothing since. Don't know what is going on in there this month!

@CEW19 where are you in your cycle?

@Daffodil21 I don't really track ovulation, but I have a pretty consistent 28 day cycle (since coming off the pill in October) with AF coming Fri to Sunday. So for it to have come on a Wednesday is a massive change from the norm.

@CEW19 it may not be AF... keep us posted!!

@Daffodil21 are you okay? Can your in-laws come back and keep your mind off things?

I'm out too. AF started today! Did a test for no real reason other than I like the challenge of trying to pee straight but it was a BFN!

@Bramleyapples13 they're back home now which is 600 miles away so probably not 😂 I'm just waiting for AF to arrive now tbh. Looking forward to no tracking next cycle. I won't know when I'm in the TWW which will be nice. Oh no!! Sorry you're out ❤️❤️

Sorry you got a BFN @daffodil21

@cew19 it might not be AF. I mean it could be, but equally it could be a sign 🤔 how many dpo are you, roughly?!

Hi everyone I am back again 😃 how is everyone doing ?

@Daffodil21 that is a fair distance! I hope you're alright. Get some vino, a big bar of chocolate and get some telly watched. You deserve me time!

I'm alright. I'm quite resigned to it I think. I've a telephone consultation with the doctor tomorrow to try for a referral. Will see what she says.

@Welliedays I'm trying not to get my hopes up too much, so will wait and see if anything else changes, then do a test on Monday which would be 'late' according to my usual cycle length. Would say I'm around 13/14dpo now. Had a little dark brown when wiping this morning again, and my cervix is high so we'll see.

@CEW19 definitely sounds promising...!!

@hampshirerose34 how are you doing?

@Bramleyapples13 let us know how it goes!

Getting a little crampy today so I don't think it'll be long until AF, which is good as I thought it might mess me around this month and be late for no reason! Even though AF on the way I haven't had spotting from 9DPO like I did the last 2 cycles. Every cloud!

Have you done another test @Daffodil21?

@CEW19 not today. I'm going to do another tomorrow though. I feel like AF is on its way but I don't think it'll arrive today
