I've eaten a whole box of orange matchmakers instead of dinner. I've read almost every post on AIBU. There's nothing happening on Facebook. I've got 12 days until I can poas..........someone join me and keep me sane

@EsmeGNU me too! I had some weird cramps on one side, like ovulation pain yesterday for 5-10 mins. Then nothing. Probs just wind but I was googling like mad!!

GnTplease · 26/09/2017 06:54

@Bubble04 ahhh that's a really strong positive!!! Congratulations!!!

I wasn't patient.... I caved and tested...GrinGrinGrinGrinGrin

@EsmeGNU I'm interested in you saying you're waiting until Thursday - how many dpo would you say you need to be for a viable test? Glad that the results weren't as bad as you feared Flowers

Bubble04 · 25/09/2017 22:32

@EsmeGNU I'm the same. Really tempting to test. Will be 11dpo, but not due af till 2nd... I promised myself I'd wait till Wednesday...

How are we doing ladies? I’ve no idea how I’m going to resist poas tomorrow. It’s all I can think about. I’ve been implantation symptom spotting all day.

@GnTplease am ok thanks. Bit tired and feeling like I have a mild cold but ok. Because only dh and I know at this stage, I keep forgetting! Went through the whole day today without thinking about it! Which means I Forgot to book my booking in appointment!

Thanks @GnTplease doesn't seem too bad. They want to retest as the results suggest abnormal viscosity. Which I'm obviously not frantically googling........
The other thing is morphology being less than ideal, but equally it could be worse and i suspect that some improvements in certain lifestyle factors could help.
All in all, not nearly as bad as I feared. Hopefully I'll test in a few days and get a BFP and none of this will matter.
Can't believe it's still only dpo 9.........roll on Thursday

GnTplease · 25/09/2017 12:24

@EsmeGNU I hope it's good results for your husband! I'm 8DPO and going to test on Friday which will be 12DPO and a day late so should be a clear result?? We both have the day off so either way will be able to take in the shock and celebrate or go for a nice booze lunch and feel a little sad.

I’m 9 dpo today. Going to try really hard to wait until Thursday to test but don’t hold me to that.

Of course when DH get his sperm analysis results from the doctor today I may know the out come without even having to test. Confused

How are you feeling @GreggsSausageRolls? hope it's all going smoothly so far!

GreggsSausageRolls · 25/09/2017 09:01

Ladies I got a BFN at 12 dpo, then a small FP at 13dpo so don't worry, it may just be too early to test

Bubble04 · 25/09/2017 07:29

@rachelandthenoodle I did the same BFN. Ovia says test Wednesday, so I'm going to leave my first frer till then. The second is for af due date. Rationing frer's lol x

rachelandthenoodle · 25/09/2017 07:08

Hey @Bubble04 I think our dates are pretty similar...although FF kicked in this morning and finally decided when it thinks I ovulated and it's saying Sun rather than Fri, which means I'm 8 dpo not 10 dpo like I had calculated.

Either way, I tested this morning, since I figured by 10 dpo I'd get something...and BFN. So going to test again Wednesday, which is when FF reckons I'm 10dpo and if nothing then, I'll just have to accept this isn't our month either.

Your luteal phase is usually the same length @Bubble04 but the follicular phase changes. So from af starting to ovulation can vary in length but from ovulation to af starting is the same length. Hopefully that makes sense.

OP posts:
Bubble04 · 24/09/2017 19:53

@EsmeGNU really? I thought it started at ovulation and finished at af. I seem to ovulate v early in my cycle, so LP would be longer? Not sure, but if it means I can POAS sooner I'm happy 😉

I just had a weird uncomfortable fluttery feeling in my abdomen, lower left side. Implantation or Gas? (Probably Gas! 😂)

Going somewhere nice @ScarlettOH? Hope you have a break away celebrating you BFP!

It’s so tough working it all out @Bubble04. How long have you been tracking? You know that your luteal phase is generally the same length? I agree with @GnTplease I think dpo is more important.

OP posts:
ScarlettOH · 24/09/2017 17:42

My skin is also heinous which is really upsetting me Sad

GnTplease · 24/09/2017 17:28

@ScarlettOH ooh fingers crossed for good news for you on thurs! Sounds promising.
@Bubble04 I think how many DPO is more important than when you're period is due (also a longer Luteal phase is better for your fertility) So test from maybe 10 with an FRER and you might see something

Bubble04 · 24/09/2017 17:12

I'm so confused with this luteal phase/ dpo stuff... from what I can work out I'm 9dpo today, but af not due till 2nd oct, so my luteal phase is 16 days... so my 2ww is actually a 2.29ww, which is clearly just mean. Does that mean I can test early??? Surely dpo is more important than days pre af??? (Can you tell I'm very impatient and looking for any excuse to POAS ) 😉

ScarlettOH · 24/09/2017 17:11

The last 4 or 5 days I’ve been waking up SO early and I can’t get back to sleep, and I’m feeling nauseous again now Confused
I didn’t drink last night in the end, had a nice dinner though.
Sick of the waiting game, just want to know either way now. AF due Thursday. Go on holiday Wednesday though. I guess I’ll pack san pro and a clear blue digital and see which one I need?!

GnTplease · 24/09/2017 16:16

Well my Luteal phase has only been about 10 days so I think im 7 dpo...going to wait until Thursday/Friday and test then if no AF. But usually I would have started spotting by now and nothing so far. Trying not to overthink everything too much though as we literally had one go (slightly by accident) this month and it was the first time!!

Paragonian · 24/09/2017 11:06

@GnTplease your symptoms sound great 👍 although not very pleasing to experience of course! Fingers crossed, when are you testing? Exciting!!! 😁

GreggsSausageRolls · 24/09/2017 10:28

Fingers crossed for you @GnTplease
