It’s been a slow weekend for me too, hoping work will make the next few days sail by.

I’ve decided to limit by obsessive Googling of symptoms to 1 hour a day, any more than that surely can’t be good for me....!

I hope the week brings us all those elusive lines we’ve been chasing x

Remind me never to go on mumsnet AIBU ever again bitches had me in tears because I was honest about how sad I am that I don't get to see my bothers baby. Really fucking pissed off now. Wish I could go slap the lot of them 😂 The other part of mumsnet is so vicious, thank goodness for this group ❤️

Imworthit · 26/10/2020 00:31

I've been really struggling with boredom this week too, seems worse than last lockdown. Feels like this is gonna be a long month and a long wait.

MummyToPrince · 26/10/2020 06:16

@Imworthit I couldn't agree more with you, they are wild and vicious out there, I could slap some of them too!! Hope your ok x

@BellaBella84 I was going to say sounds like a great day but then you said 2.5 hours 😂 I barely left my sofa yesterday so that's probably also why it dragged. I'll be more productive at work today! Is it testing day for you tomorrow?

@Supermathsdoc yeah I'm trying to limit it too - all I'm looking for is a page that doesn't say 'it's too early - it could be PMS or Pregnancy' but turns out those pages don't exist!

@Imworthit whats the Mumsnet AIBU? Sounds awful!

BellaBella84 · 26/10/2020 08:00

@RBCoxie I'm testing on the 28th, but it's a tricky one. My period is due on the 30th so only testing 2 days before. But due to shorter Luteal length the 28th will only be 10 DPO.
Normally I'd just wait for my period because meh it's probably going to happen. But this month I've got it into my head that I might actually be pregnant, and that it would be a perfect anniversary present for my husband on the 28th.
Knowing how badly I deal with the 'false hope/ pit of despair' cycle I could be about to ruin the day. Idiot.

RBCoxie · 26/10/2020 08:05

@BellaBella84 ah yeah the 28th! That's it! Have you got anything planned for the day that could take your mind off it if you don't get a positive? Of course I'm keeping everything crossed for you!!

BellaBella84 · 26/10/2020 08:08

@Imworthit Are you working from home? How's the not smoking going?

Supermathsdoc · 26/10/2020 08:11

@BellaBella84 I’m also considering testing earli(er) than I had planned, I’m due on on 29th - if I test tomorrow it will be 11DPO and I figure if it’s negative I can test again on the 29th....

This month I’ve just felt very different, but it might be something I just chalk up to experience, like ‘sometimes you feel like this when you’re menstrual’

@RBCoxie trying the only one hour of frantic googling method today! Hope work takes your mind off things

@Imworthit what is that board about? Sounds like something to stay away from!

BellaBella84 · 26/10/2020 08:14

@Rbcoxie Nothing planned at if moment as we were meant to be away at a board games convention this week, hence kicking about the place twiddling my thumbs.
Might just head to the beach if it's not raining.
Both me and my husband have already confessed that there's a strong chance our cards might be late! 🤣🤣🤣

RBCoxie · 26/10/2020 08:56

@BellaBella84 oh I see! Good ol' COVID screwing everything up as usual!! Hahaha we were the same this year too - blamed it on the delayed post 😉 😂

MummyToPrince · 26/10/2020 11:55

Morning all sorry I've been quiet I was soo tired yesterday and I've been productive today to keep my mind off things :-) still have nothing apart from sore nipples and tons of creamy cm! How is everyone feeling today x

BellaBella84 · 26/10/2020 12:27

@Mummytoprince Does posting about my haul of free vegetables on instagram count as productive?! 🙄

MummyToPrince · 26/10/2020 12:47

@BellaBella84 yes definitely :-) I've bleached my whole house scrubbed my carpets, changed all the bedding, hand washed my oh and little boys shoes and moved my lounge round 😂 I had a mad moment where I wanted to test so I done an OPK 😂

robodo · 26/10/2020 13:14

Can I just day you ladies are smashing it with waiting to test you have all done a hell of a lot better than I did let me tell you, I hope to see the positives come through soon xx

RBCoxie · 26/10/2020 13:19

@MummyToPrince absolutely loving the productivity!! Fancy doing my house too? It's a state 😂 how did the OPK go? I saw someone on another post explain about using an OPK instead of a test! The temptation was unreal! 😂

@robodo I'm struggling tbh!! Buying the amazon ones was the best thing I did because now I have to wait but I am dying for this week to be over.

MummyToPrince · 26/10/2020 13:22

@rodobo thank you so much lovely :-) how are you feeling?

@RBCoxie with pleasure :-) here is my ovulation test.. It takes the urge away to be honest, it did for me anyway haha! X

@MummyToPrince I'm definitely going to do that tomorrow morning! How does yours compare to your last one? x

MummyToPrince · 26/10/2020 13:39

My last OPK I done and the one I don't not that long ago... I want to test the theory and see if it works so I'm also going to do one every morning :-) x

@MummyToPrince definitely a difference! I'm going to do the same and put it down to a scientific experiment as opposed to feeding my unhealthy testing addiction 😂 x

BellaBella84 · 26/10/2020 14:07

@RBCoxie @MummyToPrince Yup, scientific experiment, that's definitely it! 🤣🤣🤣

RBCoxie · 26/10/2020 14:20

@BellaBella84 that's what I keep telling myself! 😂

robodo · 26/10/2020 14:41

@MummyToPrince I wanted to test theory and did an opk mine was the same as yours if not a tad lighter but still got positive frer, I still have absolutely zero symptoms so I keep convincing myself its not real x

MummyToPrince · 26/10/2020 14:44

@RBCoxie definitely and it will keep us occupied and hopefully we won't need opks anymore :-) x

@robodo oh really, that's interesting... I have a weird feeling about this month x
