AF due 20th July / 5DPO - Who Wants to Test With Me??

469 replies

BambooBambii · 11/07/2016 13:35

Hello!

Some of these threads are HUGE and I'm feeling a bit lost, so I'd thought I'd make a new one for anyone who is due their AF Wednesday 20th July (or thereabouts!) and are 4/5 DPO.

Symptoms so far
1-3DPO - Nothing
4DPO - sore boobs and lots of clear CM (sorry!)
5DPO - very sore lower back right in the middle, sore bbs + AF style cramps

A little about me... I've suffered x2 miscarriages over the years, one at 6 weeks and the other at 10 weeks (had a D&C). Horrible experience but hoping for a sticky bean this time! So technically I'm trying for my 1st.

Would love to know a bit about you as well and hope we can test together - and try to keep sane while waiting! Good luck everyone Smile

Hugs Poppy. That sucks Sad

Poppydm · 20/07/2016 11:33

AF arrived for me Sad Pretty gutted. Did everything we could this month.

Not insane at all! I couldn't stand the idea that I might be pregnant and a test could tell me and I was just choosing not to take it! Though this has resulted in me now being in possession of 11 HPTs....

JaneyL1 · 20/07/2016 10:37

I don't think you're crazy. The tests aren't too reliable before your 'due date' so a BFN isn't really a BFN until you're late!

olguitha · 20/07/2016 10:33

Well I'm finally on my "due date" still nada, which is good. I might test again tomorrow if nothing happens.
Do you guys think I'm insane? I've already tested 3 times!
I definitely am...

JaneyL1 · 20/07/2016 09:32

Thanks Almo :)

Seems to have slowed down again now. Definitely not proper AF. SO tempted to POAS but when I was preggo with DD I said that I wasn't going to test with the next one until I was at least a week later...

How's everyone else doing. Anyone testing today?

Sorry to hear that Janey.

Almostamy · 20/07/2016 08:01

Oh dear poppy! Preparing you for sleepless nights to come?!

He seemed surprised and happy. Didn't call me for hours though because he was out until about 11pm and wasn't expecting there to be any important news!

JaneyL1 · 20/07/2016 07:40

Huge congrats almo !!! I think I'm out. Much heavier spotting this morning :(

Poppydm · 20/07/2016 07:11

Ah Smile What was his reaction like? My Dh (who is definitely not darling this morning) decided to catch up with a friend he hadn't seen in ages last night and finally rolled in after 3am. I couldn't get back to sleep as it was so hot so I'm wondering how I'm going to get through today feeling this tired Confused urgh! Good luck to anyone poas today. Think I'm going go hold out until tomorrow as thats when I think AF should be here.

Almostamy · 20/07/2016 06:24

I rang DP last night. I text first and told him I was going to cave in and do a test and what would he want me to do if it was BFP, he said tell him over the phone. :)

Lots of AF due to today! Anyone about to POAS? (smile)

MightyLightningMouse · 19/07/2016 23:53

Yep Almo you've kick-started it, now just hang about for the rest of us to join you Grinwhen / how are you gonna tell DP?

Almostamy · 19/07/2016 22:01

Thanks guys!

12 or 13 dpo. No symptoms at all. Now I feel nauseous but that's probably nerves and excitement!

Fx the good news will spread around our little group now!

Good luck with testing tomorrow ladies :)

PurpleHaze1 · 19/07/2016 20:52

poppy no symptoms really - nothing conclusive anyway! A spot did appear on my chin this morning though so I'm convinced AF will arrive Envy I just wish it'd hurry up so I can get on with next cycle!

I wish I could remember any symptoms from this early with DD but I don't remember anything until AF was late & my bbs were SO sore I wanted to cry!

PurpleHaze1 · 19/07/2016 20:49

I think I'd probably send DH a pic of the test on whatsapp Grin no way, I'd be able to keep it quiet!

Poppydm · 19/07/2016 20:47

I think I would burst?! Will you be able to hold it in? Did you have any symptoms?

Poppydm · 19/07/2016 20:45

Yey!!! Huge congratulations!!

Almostamy · 19/07/2016 20:45

Ah! Trying to post a pic but dropbox wont sync haha!

You are the only people I can tell! I'm away with work until Thursday evening. Cant tell DP over phone, can I?

PurpleHaze1 · 19/07/2016 20:43

Maybe olguitha is psychic. Wink

PurpleHaze1 · 19/07/2016 20:42

Yaaaaayyy almo huge congrats! SmileSmile

Almostamy · 19/07/2016 20:41
