No eating out, no cocktails, no socialising... I’m hoping that the dreaded lock down month will be the month we get lucky. Anyone else care to join me? Smile

@Smushty14 eek! That sounds promising!!!!
Are you going to test today? I’m usually a poas addict but this month I’m waiting until Sunday. (Helps I threw away all the cheapo tests so haven’t got any in the house!)

@Smushty14 that’s so positive, keeping everything crossed for you. When are you testing?

My app predicted AF yesterday but nothing arrived and then it updated to due tomorrow. I’ve not really had any symptoms although I haven’t had my normal monthly migraine so thats a bonus regardless x

Smushty14 · 26/11/2020 12:56

@ALB1990 @2021hopeful So I tested today when I shouldn't and got a big fat nothing 🤣🙈

On the bright side it should now mean I will hold off until Monday or Tuesday next week before trying again 😘

Ooh @ALB1990 that sounds positive!!! When are you testing? Where are you in your cycle?

ALB1990 · 26/11/2020 13:03

@Smushty14 oh no, let’s hope if you wait until Tuesday you’ll get you positive 😊

I am day 28, I’m going to test on Saturday if nothing happens before then. I’m literally keeping everything crossed, I am the worst and waiting! X

Smushty14 · 26/11/2020 13:33

I mean not even a squinter 🤣

@ALB1990 ahhh fingers crossed!!! 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻

@Smushty14 bless you! Okay you inspired me and I just did a cheapy one but my heart is pounding and I think I might cry, do you see it? Is it a faint line or am I imagining it? Xx

ALB1990 · 26/11/2020 13:52

I’ve taken a clearer one. I’m sure it’s a second line. Going to test tomorrow using a first step one to rule out a false positive xx

Ahhhh I see a coloured line!!!! 🎉🎉🎉

@ALB1990 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻

ALB1990 · 26/11/2020 16:37

@Smushty14 I couldn’t wait, I took another and a first response and both are positive! 🥳

Sending all my positive energy your way now xxx

Smushty14 · 26/11/2020 16:43

@ALB1990 Yayyyyy!!! I'm so pleased for you!!

Did you track ovulation this cycle?

LyingDogsLie1 · 26/11/2020 16:47

Made two. Lost one plus a tube (ectopic) now v early days with the second. Hopefully this one has a better sense of direction!

ALB1990 · 26/11/2020 16:48

@Smushty14 I did, I used the free trial of the Flo app and the Ovia app. I didn’t use an ovulation test because I didn’t order one in time 🙈 xx

2021hopeful · 26/11/2020 16:49

@ALB1990 oh my goodness, that is so exciting. Congratulations. How do you feel?

@Smushty14 fingers crossed for you too. It’s so disappointing doing a test and getting a negative even when you know it’s too early.

Praying I can resist poas until Sunday.

ALB1990 · 26/11/2020 16:55

@2021hopeful I’m so excited, I spent half an hour at my desk crying because I didn’t know what else to do. I keep worrying because I have little cramping sensations in my left side but I’ve read that can just be early pregnancy signs.

@Smushty14 completely agree, I took one on Saturday or Sunday just because it was there and there was absolutely nothing on it so at lot can change in a matter of 4-5 days. Definitely try and resist it, it’ll be so worth the wait if you are xx

2021hopeful · 26/11/2020 20:27

@ALB1990 such fantastic news. I’m so happy for you.

Is anyone else testing soon?

Alb1990 that's lovely news! Congratulations Smile

GeorgiaMcGraw · 26/11/2020 22:12

@smushty14 i had an actual strong line at day 15, it only predicts 24 hrs in advance so today is day 16. Strong line in morning, pale line by afternoon. I expected it to be cd14, but my period was early last time, so i guess im not always 100% regular

GeorgiaMcGraw · 26/11/2020 22:15

@2021hopeful yeah just a bit, we've tried to do the smep method which seems to basically turn into "dtd everyday until you need an icepack", not complaining of course, but it starts to feel a bit utilitarian, you know?Grin

2021hopeful · 27/11/2020 05:44

@GeorgiaMcGraw oh I feel your pain. There’s nothing at all romantic about is there? Grin

Smushty14 · 27/11/2020 09:27

Poop... this does not look like a good sign 🤣🤣

Looks like I'm out this month although AF isn't due until Wednesday

2021hopeful · 27/11/2020 16:59

Still time @Smushty14. I don’t know much about monitoring heart rate but might give it a go next month. Sure AF is on her way... that tell tale stomach ache! 😢

OP posts:
Smushty14 · 27/11/2020 17:59

@2021hopeful Oh no! Hopefully it's not on it's way!

GeorgiaMcGraw · 27/11/2020 19:40

Oh no @smushty14 and @2021 hopeful, fingers crossed AF stays away. Horrible when you're just waiting for it to happen.

Smushty14 · 28/11/2020 17:34

I have no idea any more 🤣

Talk about increasing again! This is the highest it's ever been!
