TWW - anyone else testing in early March?

590 replies

satsoooma · 20/02/2017 16:24

I'm just starting the dreaded TWW and could use some company. All the other threads on this seem to have reached the testing stage already.

I am 2-3 dpo and planning to test on 4 March. We have been TTC for about 18 months and are getting fertility treatment. I am pretty sure I ovulated this month though, so I have have high hopes for this cycle.

Better look next time Andy's! So frustrating isn't it, I failed 3 times with mine! Cried every time! Just used to get so nervous!!

Oh no Andy. I failed my driver's test once with just one major fault too. The most annoying thing was - I didn't have a single minor fault. Was soooo annoyed.

Sounds like it was just bad luck and you will easily apss next time. They say that people who fail once are beter drivers in the end!

Thanks for the warm welcome ladies Flowers

Sensible me says test when af is a few days to a week late as that will be the most reliable result. As I tested around 11 DPO with chem pg last month and had 3 days of being 'pregnant' until af came Sad If I hadn't had tested then I would have avoided that kick in the teeth!

BUT weak and silly old me will probably test early again!! Hmm one thing for sure though I am only using IC and won't tell dh until his bday 15th March if all well (and if even successful, might not be anything to tell at all!)

Hope for lots of Bfps on here by next week, fx ladies xx

Andysgirl15 · 27/02/2017 19:19

Wow I've only been gone since this morning and the thread has really blown up.

Congrats to the other bfp (not sure who it was). 7dpo today and I resisted the temptation to test....yay go me😂😂. Had some mild cramping today and sore boobs which is new for me oh and I failed my driving test 😭😭. Really gutted only one small mistake I could have easily have rectified but my brain turned mush haha (possible symptom lol) 😂

In other news I'm itching to test so gonna hold off until the morning. 8dpo seems like early enough to get a BFP

ethelfleda · 27/02/2017 18:13

Hi chaos Smile
I've got weird pinching feelings in abdomen but I think I had them last month... also very tired but then I always am! Temps still high but first month temping so don't know if that's normal either! Lol
I'm trying to remain positive anyway.

Firsttimeandclueless · 27/02/2017 17:59

Hi Add

You're def in the right place for testing in early March!
Fx for you!

The week is draaaaging already for me and It is only Monday Smile

I would def wait (if I could) until the weekend Satsooma
Be lovely to have time to celebrate together.

dangle90 · 27/02/2017 16:33

That's it positive thinking satsooma!
Hi addtothechaos! 👋🏼 x

Addtothechaos · 27/02/2017 16:26

Hi ladies

I think your my people Smile I'm due to test early to mid March!
6 DPO today and have sore boobs, odd cramps and fatigue. Had chem pg last month with almost identical symptoms but also known to have these symptoms with af too so doesn't mean much for me!

Wanted to hold off testing until I am 'late' but I know I'm going to crack around 10 DPO (this Friday!) worried about chem pgs now though Sad Have two dc already so I know my body can work properly when it wants!

Much love ladies xx

Thanks Ethel and everyone else. You have strengthened my determination to wait until Saturday (16 dpo) before testing!

I was convinved I had pre-AF cramps at the weekend, but today I have gone back to having these weird, really localised, kind of acidic pains. So I am feeling much more positive today. I also feel a bit run down, tired and sniffly. Could be that I visited a hospital at the weekend, but I like to think it is a pregnancy symptom Wink.

dangle, I mix 3/4 glass of grapefruit juice with 1/4 of orange juice. I think it has made a difference. I didn't take EPO

stuckinny · 27/02/2017 14:01

Congrats Becky

Satsooma I'm with you on testing. The week day mornings are crazy in my house and I'd hate to get a positive and be all excited then have to act normally once my 10 year old got up.

dangle90 · 27/02/2017 13:51

Thanks Ethel, I will give it a go, although I'm not too keen on grapefruit juice! How much were you drinking of it?

ethelfleda · 27/02/2017 12:44

I think so dangle I was taking evening primrose oil too which is supposed to do the same thing. But only take up until you O

dangle90 · 27/02/2017 11:36

Yeah same here, dolly day dream springs to mind 😂😁

satsoooma · 27/02/2017 11:16

haha Dangle! On the minus side, I think I would be a very unproductive employee that day Grin

dangle90 · 27/02/2017 11:13

Satsooma I've thought the same thing would be awful running off to work having it on your mind all day, on the plus side I think I would be a happy employee that day 😂!
Think I'm going to try grapefruit juice next month Ethel do you think it made a difference ? X

ethelfleda · 27/02/2017 11:07

Boatrace I tried grapefruit juice and EPO this month. I think they worked but we DTD so much over fertile week that I couldn't tell if it was him or me... sorry for TMI!!

ethelfleda · 27/02/2017 11:05

Not at all satsooma this is a big deal and you've dreamed of it for a while, of course you've imagined and planned the perfect where and when to tell your DH! You don't get to make that announcement every day so it's only natural you'll want to do it when it's right for you xx

Thanks for all the positive thoughts everyone!

Massive congrats to Becky and Any.

Am I the only one reluctant to do a test during the week. Especially as it is our first, and we have been trying so long, I just feel that telling DH I am pregnant and then having to run straight off to work would be a massive anti-climax. If I wait until the weekend POAS, then we would have time to celebrate properly. Or am I just being over-controlling here?

boatrace30 · 27/02/2017 10:32

Congratulation Becky! Smile

Dangle I also had a hyper realistic BFP dream. Got up at 5:30 and tested!! BFN of course (6DPO) but now the longest my temp has stayed elevated for and I'm full of cold so I'm a teeny but hopeful

I saw on another thread that great fruit juice can improve ewcm (for those considering lube) and I have found it really works

Fx for you satsooma

Mamabooksbabynumber2 · 27/02/2017 09:26

Hi ladies, I am due to test on the 8th of March Smile but only did on the last day and day after fertile week so not thinking the first month will be our month

Beckyb4591 · 27/02/2017 09:24

Thank you! Keeping my fingers crossed for all of us. I'd still like to stay active on this thread to see how you all get on xxx

Oysterbabe · 27/02/2017 09:22

Congratulations Becky Grin

ethelfleda · 27/02/2017 09:20

Woo hoo congratulations becky !!
Dangle you're definitely not out yet then! Saturday is ages away and your little bean might not have implanted yet x

Beckyb4591 · 27/02/2017 08:49

I took the plunge yet again this morning and am really happy to say I had a BFP! I just used an Internet cheapie. It was a faint positive that showed up after 2 mins... But a positive none the less x
