So my son (17) tested positive yesterday, he's absolutely fine no symptoms and he's under strict instructions to stay in his room, but my other half has had to go stay with his parents for the next few days as he has a 7 year old daughter with his ex who would stop him from seeing her if he didn't (we're both double jabbed and testing negative)
I know it's the right thing to do but I'm devastated as I'm in my fertile days now and it just means another month I'm not going to get that BFP
There's absolutely no point to this post I think I just needed a moan to someone 😢

So sorry @Misschanandlerbong20! I'd be devastated as well. But try to take this month as a break you deserved. You can eat and drink whatever you want, and you won't have the agonising 2WW ahead of you. The last time I had to take a break I also tried to symptom spot as much as possible, knowing I can't be pregnant, so I knew for next cycle what's "normal" and what not.

That's a good point about being able to eat and drink what I want, I never looked at it that way. And looking at symptoms knowing I can't possibly be pg is a good idea and I can't note everything down 😊

@Misschanandlerbong20 it's my coping strategy, trying to find the good things in order not to lose it completely :)
Last month I also booked some silly beauty treatments that aren't recommended while pregnant. Not that it helped with any wrinkles, but it felt nice treating myself.

So I'm day 10 today and I normally ovulate either day 12/13 with high fertility on clear blue ov sticks starting day 9/10, but I'm still getting the blanc circle so I'm thinking I might be having a late ovulation this month 🤷‍♀️ which would work out perfect because OH is coming home Saturday, when his daughter goes back to her mum (as long as I'm still testing negative on lateral flows, which I am) so fingers crossed ov holds off 🤞🤞🤞🤞
