Apropos nothing at all - bought myself a new nail varnish and I'm absolutely loving it and the hint of orange it's got!

@lucyrp and @Franklydear again you two have strong willpower I am impressed. That’s what I use from 10dpo and I too think it’s ok it’s too early to register but it does get more annoying the further along I get haha. I’m only 3dpo and already want to feel something haha x

@Juno231 It looks beautiful

Great nails @@juno231. I love the colour. That kind of corally red is my go to. Beautiful ring also!

@Juno231 Argh posted before finishing my message! Wanted to say, also loving the rock on that finger! You go girl

[quote Juno231]@hannahbanana91 welcome! How many DPO are you - it could be implantation bleeding maybe?

@Franklydear ha I'm still the opposite I think. I test early enough that the BFN doesn't make me sad cause I can blame it on being early - but then with every BFN I sort of slowly get to the realisation that it's another failed cycle - instead of getting the shock of AF appearing when I had already convinced myself I must be preggers.[/quote]
Thanks for the reply well im 9dpo today but was 6dpo when the brown discharge started, so I suppose it could be but I thought implantation bleeding only lasted a day, this has been every so often over the last 3 days when I wipe. It's so annoying wish I could just see in there hahaha. To be honest though I feel very 'periody' crampy, moody, the works! Xx

[quote notyetamumbuttrying]@Juno231 ooh there will be!! Can't wait 🤪if only they knew what we were saying about them 🙈
@hannahbanana91 hello! Sounds like implantation bleeding possibly. I'd test in two days time if I were you, good luck! [/quote]
Hmmm I'm hoping so! But I've had it every so often when I wipe for about 3 days so I'm just not hopeful! Only 9dpo though so I suppose you could be right! Xx

Scrap that, just come on, bright red 6 days early though which isn't like me at all xx

@Runnergirl1 I kind of want to test tonight when I get home but I've been trying to drink lots of water todag so feel like it's pointless 😂x

@Runnergirl1 give me a couple of days and you’ll be oh no, not her again🤣

@hannahbanana91 I hate it when it does that, on your due day please, so annoying, I prescribe some chocolate and a nice drink tonight

@Juno231
I am sorry I know I shouldn't and that's its too early. I need to slap my god damn self lmao. I'm trying to take my mind off things by doing a couple of jobs around the house, this is so we can make a profit so we can move to a nicer house in a nicer area. Hopefully that's going to help keep me busy for now I've been made redundant so looking forward to testing towards the end of the month. Lovely nail polish BTW.
welcome @hannahbanana91, I'm trying to remember when this happens to me, its normally my partner who is my period detector lmao cause we normally end yup dtd a day or two before and he tells me, sorry Tmi lol. But fingers crossed its implantation bleeding, keep us posted xx

oooo exciting, fingers crossed for when you do a test. Have you decided to do one later today or tomorrow morning?

@Juno231 lovely colour, I don’t normally do reds, I am more of a nuke kind of girl
@Dsr87 oh no, redundancy sucks, but at least you are motivated to keep busy

@Dsr87 ah crap! are you worried at all or did you get a decent redundancy/think it will be easy to get another job?

@hannahbanana91 ah that sucks - I hate it when that happens. Are you sure you didn't ovulate early this time?

@AmesK @LBee2020 thank you! although I've just realised the pic came out redder than it should... for reference it's the "bolt and be bold" from essie :) Oh and the ring looks fancier than it is - it's definitely in a flattering setting that makes it look bigger!

@Juno231 love the nails. Need to do my own soon. The state of them 😥 getting my hair done tomorrow so that will lift the mood a bit and hopefully get stuck into my nails

@Franklydear yes I am, we are either selling up or will convert the garage we use to hoard shit in as a big bedroom for my 13 year old. so doing what we can to make it sellable if we can if not their is room to stay.

@Juno231i got paid enough and all my holiday ii didn't get chance to use, however works out its better for me to be a stay at home mum as my youngest is registered disabled and I am entitled to carers allowance. I can work upto a certain amount but its still liveable if we do conceive. Plus I'm not having to pay £200-£300 a mth in childcare and £25 a week in fuel to get to work so theirs no bloody point, if I did I'd do some cleaning a few hours or week or something so its not too much whilst youngest is at school and I can work around but let's see where things go. fingers crossed its a positive atm so I can take the opportunity to chill out and be around for my children more. they love mum not being stressed out at work and rushing about and I'm loving it too.

Hello lovely ladies! You all seem good fun and wondered if I could join please - TTC our first and on cycle 3, AF due Friday! Don't feel remotely pregnant but I remain cautiously optimistic 😀

@Dsr87 cool, my ds is autistic so I also considered staying home on carers allowance but at the moment is not worth it for me (sounds really callous) but I always wonder if I can still make it work when he goes to secondary next year

@Franklydear my ds is also autistic, its hard isn't especially when its a change in routine. I've always struggled to get him to school on a Thursday and Friday of every week and he's nearly 9. He's said he loves that mummy picks him up and drops him off now and he doesn't want to go to child minder. However the child minder is still not working so I was stuck in a catch 22 as work understood but had to let loads of us go that were parents it seems? but for me it kind of has worked in our favour.

@Kirky658 Hello :) you never know xx

@Dsr87 mine is 10, he goes to after school club which he loves but mummy picking up is a special treat, so hard to find the right balance... luckily my dh is just as hands on and between us we cover it all,...

@Kirky658 af is imminent for me, I don’t have the usual cues but don’t feel pregnant either... we'll have to wait till the weekend

@Dsr87 hello back 👋 and @Franklydear let's hope this is our month 😍

On the plus side we adopted a little puppy a month ago so he's been keeping us busy and entertained ❤️🐶

@Kirky658 you know the law, mandatory pics of every puppy

@Juno231 oh I didn't think of that but come to think of it I haven't had a solid positive on an OPK this month so I assumed I'd missed it!

What CD do you ladies normally start testing? I'm gonna order some clear blue ovulation tests I think, I've only been using some cheapies off Amazon. Would you recommend the clear blues? x
