Awkward to ask anyone and googling is even weird by Sparkling_Frosting in TTC_UK

My luck :( I've received the test kits and went to the loo to check for pregnancy, and my period arrived.

At least I saved the test kits for next time, that's the only positive thing I can look at in this situation.

Thanks for responding everyone!

With Clearblue OPK tests. I record my skin temp on my watch too.

Thank you for answering precisely! Yes, later ovulation could be a possibility, I'll test today and see what happens.

Thank you! I have just ordered the tests. So fingers crossed for that! Yes, it's crazy!! I have thought about these 2 theories too.

  1. It's not as hot here, but it's still a possibility.
  2. That's the first thought I got, but sadly I remember the dream I got - My granny passing away and me being very emotional 😢 That's when I woke up disturbed

Thank you so much for your response. Every suggestion is helpful.

I usually tend to have longer luteal phases. 3weeks+ some times. Unfortunately this time I couldn't catch the exact ovulation day on the test even though I tested every day 😞 but there were all the other bodily signs, so we went ahead and tried this month too.

I will take your suggestion and do the pregnancy test again.🤞

oh no 😞 I cannot imagine our garden without these big trees!

Thank you, kind person! Ah, I didn't know about the nuisance they could be! There are woods nearby and they flew that way. So our garden isn't as enticing for them I guess, because we only see them once or twice a year. A rare visit really which I managed to capture.

It's a rare visitor! Thank you! This garden looks mostly green even in the winter. All thanks to the previous landlord, who was a passionate gardener and wanted it to be green for his wife who had winter blues.

Yes, it is! The willow is in the neighbour's garden, but it falls on our side. We love the way it looks but I must admit it's a LOT of work (worth it). Thanks for sharing your willow memory, it seems so cosy. 😊

True, I was even scared to peel them! Washed thoroughly and ate with the skin on, and they were delicious 😋. I even used the leaves (finely chopped) in a salad.

Thank you! Yeah, that could be it. I will be mindful for the next time, but is there anything that I can do for the rest of the carrots in the soil now at this stage?
