Ooh, excellent news! I'm going to test in the morning - also still taking it easy though. Although I suspect I'll be less of a leper now Mr Cheery has got this evening out of the way!themadvix said:Thanks NG!

I promise BB! If the in laws will have me, I’m going to sit on their sofa today for a change while Mr MV does some more car/loft stuff. I know I can take myself off for a nap there and will be fed. Will take knitting and a book but imagine I’ll hear a lot about the in laws holiday!Mortgage free 16/06/2023! £132,500 cleared in 11 years, 3 months and 7 days

Sunflowers are lovely.
It took me a couple of weeks post negative test to get past fatigue - but the last couple of days I've had a lot more energy.
Good luck for a negative test @Cheery_Daff Daff

That's good to hear SH 😊
Still positive here, although not as demonstratively as my first test, which immediately came up with a thick dark purple line 😂 this one is a more reasonable pink colour so I'm hoping that means it's getting less bad 😂4 -
That’s really good to hear SH, hope it’ll be the same for me. Unbelievably frustrated at the moment!
Cheery, that’s a good sign- hope it improves again tomorrow.Mortgage free 16/06/2023! £132,500 cleared in 11 years, 3 months and 7 days
