Mid October testers?

I'm 6 dpo and have used up all my methods of distraction already!

I'll be testing on the 11th if I can wait that long!

For context, we weren't actively trying but I always knew we'd have a third and there's a (small?) chance it has happened this month. It would be earlier than we planned but if there's anything I've learned it is that there's never a good time and never a bad time to have a baby. Grin This would be my last so Im getting myself really excited.

Does anybody want to join me in this waiting marathon?

My AF is due today and I'm suddenly too scared to test, I've been desperate to test for two weeks and now I just can't bring myself to do it. I think I'm scared of both outcomes. My last pregnacy ended in ectopic xx

Just realised AF is due on 12th so I should probably test on the 11th (Wednesday) shouldn't I? Not the 10th...

It's the first time that I'm actually tracking ovulation and dpo's. I don't even know what a luteal phase is! off to google Blush

So how many dpo will you all be checking? If I'm not mistaken Tuesday next week will be 13 dpo for me. Does that sound about right for testing? Or is it late/early??

Joining! I'm unsure as to whether my cycle will be 28 or 36 days. Came off pill start of August and had a 36 day cycle. My usual pre-pill was 28 days and I went back to this straight away last time I came off it. I came off mid-pack this time so I'm wondering if that's why I had a longer cycle. SO. Either I'm about 4dpo now or I'm still waiting to ovulate and will be due AF on the 21st October! Just doing lots of BD'ing last week and this week, hoping to catch it! I kinda hope it's 28 days as I'm impatient! But if no AF on the 13th I'll just hold out and wait another week to test, as I know it could well be a longer cycle!

Another AF due on the 11th here! No good at tracking ovulation but THINK I am about 7/8 dpo. Seems like a long time to wait to test, doesn't it?

Hi all, my AF is due on 11th too! I have a 16 day long luteal phase so I always end up caving and testing early Grin

deanery im the same. I don't track my ovulation, just go by dates. So I might be less or more than 7dpo today... Still, holding off until Tuesday next week at least. It's hard!

blue that would be a wonderful surprise!
FX for you!

Good luck all!

Hello! I'm 5dpo af due on the 11th.
My birthday is on the 10th so fx for a nice bday positive.
Goodluck xx

I'll squeeze in. BFP hoped for around the 15/10. Am confused about when I'm ovulating though and will have only DTD once or twice in the guesstimate window so unlikely this month. Still you never know...

Betsyboo87 · 03/10/2017 22:59

I'm around 7dpo and due af on the 12th. Probably only a small chance for me too this month as I had a cold during my fertile week so wasn't really up for dtd!
