Anyone else in the same boat?

OP posts:

I think being pretty sure we missed the boat this month has helped, also going out Friday night and likely to have a drink or two makes me not want to test until Saturday Blush

Bumpkin21 · 05/07/2017 14:36

Vicsteur that's so useful - thanks!

LoveRainbow02 · 05/07/2017 13:31

I feel fine. No more cramps. Just a big temp spike this morning although I am unsure that means anything lol!

Thanks @LoveRainbow02, I'm lacking on positivity today and not just the BFP kind! How are you feeling today?

The longer you can wait the better @Bumpkin21, although as you can tell I'm not great at waiting. You can get stats for every dpo on this website www.countdowntopregnancy.com/pregnancy-test/dpo-chart.php?dpo=7 although its not actually stopped me from testing.

What does everyone think is a good time to test? 10dpo with one of the 'first response' tests? Or do you guys wait longer?

LoveRainbow02 · 05/07/2017 12:44

Zero symptoms doesn't always mean your out vic 😊. Fx for you.

Bumpkin the TWW drives you insane doesn't it. Constantly over analyse every small detail lol.

Welcome @Bumpkin21 its brutal isn't it. I'm 9dpo and manages to avoid testing today. To be honest I've got it in my head that I'm out this month anyway, that's making it easier. I've got zero symptoms.

Bumpkin21 · 05/07/2017 09:17

I'm 1dpo and already going a bit crazy! Eeeek!

LoveRainbow02 · 05/07/2017 08:50

I'm aiming to test on Saturday when I will be 12dpo 😊. I've woken up this morning to achy dull cramps again near pubic bone and a temp spike. Trying not to symptom spot but i can't help it 😂!

Yeah @WineAndTiramisu it was a bfn.

I solomely swear I will not test again until at least the day after tomorrow. I'm so impressed with all you ladies holding off!

Same here had MMC April..was mix up at hospital after my d and c with results so when back on pull...came off it again 4 weeks ago when I knew all was okay..no proper period as yet but have every symptom going not sure when I can test as don't know where in cycle I am...so POAS everyday from now haha x

WineAndTiramisu · 04/07/2017 14:58

RosieRo123 - no implantation yet, so fine to drink! (Some may disagree with me lol...)

WineAndTiramisu · 04/07/2017 14:57

Vicsteur81 - do I assume bfn?! Step away from the tests... GrinGrin

ally62442 · 04/07/2017 14:17

I'm sure you'll be ok to have a couple @RosieRo123. Lots of people probably have nights out before realising they are pregnant. I know it's hard as you don't want to risk your chances.

RosieRo123 · 04/07/2017 13:55

Due to test on 14th! 🙈

I have a night out tonight with work. 2/3 dpo. Really bad time to drink?

IJustGotHitByADeer · 04/07/2017 13:36

I'm due to POAS on the 14th at the earliest and I've already got butterflies every time I think about it (which is virtually all the time)

It's our first time ttc and this is our first proper cycle, and I already can't contain my excitement Smile

ally62442 · 04/07/2017 13:15

@Vicsteur81 my mums just been round. So I filled her in on my tww and she was trying to get me to test! She's worse than me. Plus she should no better, she's a midwife!

LoveRainbow02 · 04/07/2017 13:11

Oh no vic! Step away from the tests 😂.

My tests won't arrive until Friday so I have no choice but to wait lol.

I'm 8dpo.....I may have tested this morning. Blush

OP posts:
LoveRainbow02 · 04/07/2017 10:13

7dpo here and I don't appear to have any symptoms lol apart from the occasional cramping but this has calmed down in the last few days.

Testing day hurry up!!

ally62442 · 04/07/2017 09:46

Today I'm 6 DPO according to my app. I've only just started doing my temp so I won't be able to tell anything from it for a while. Due to test on the 11th/12th if AF doesn't arrive.

This tww wait is driving me crazy. I had period pain yesterday morning, which was bad enough for me to take a paracetamol and I also had to undo the button on my jeans I felt that bloated. Had a slight back ache in bed last night. An now today absolutely nothing so far other than a slight head ache. I no it's too early to be implantation pain etc, unless I ovulated earlier than my app predicted.

TinyBarista · 04/07/2017 07:03

I see! Thanks Wine and Vics - of course, I'm deluding myself thinking 'well I won't buy any just yet because of course in 8 days time I will have my BFP' Confused ... of course!

WineAndTiramisu · 03/07/2017 22:51

Buy some LH testing strips from Amazon, they're pretty cheap, pee on them twice a day from about 8 days post period.
When test line is as dark or darker then control line, time to have lots of baby making sex!

In future months you can POAS less often (I only need 2 days worth now) as long as your cycle is regular.

The positive equals the LH surge that usually precedes ovulation by 24-36 hours

I'm quite new to this all as well @TinyBarista.
My app tells me when I'm in my fertile period, I use cheapy internet opk tests every day during my fertile period to confirm when I'm ovulating. The darkest test is ovulation day. Takes a couple of cycles to get the hang of it. Does that all make sense?

I've got the joyful added back up of ovulation being rather painful thanks to endo surgery and my ovaries being stuck to my pelvic wall! Yay!

Help a beginner out, what does OPK entail?
My Ovia app says 9 days to test. 9 days!
