So sorry to hear @thehalfbloodprincess ! Sad

I hope not @basinhaircut fx it isn't!

I was also too busy running late to work this morning to take a test (10dpo) will try and remember tomorrow morning, If not then Monday which will be 12 dpo. But if nothing tomorrow or Monday then I'm guessing il be out

Think I’m out. Brownish tinged CM when I wiped just now. AF due tomorrow

BasinHaircut · 18/08/2018 11:28

So sorry halfblood.

I managed to be so preoccupied this morning that I didn’t even think about POAS when I was having my morning wee and at 9DPO I know that there isn’t much point using an IC for anything other than FMU so I will have managed to resist testing till at least 10DPO. Last month AF came on 10DPO so I think I’ll probably test tomorrow if she doesn’t show in the morning. But I’m going to try and wait for Monday if I can.

I do feel a bit tired today though which is classic AF symptoms for me so I’m not feeling optimistic.

:((( sorry halfblood

Bfn this morning. 7-9dpo.

TheHalfBloodPrincess · 18/08/2018 07:38

She got me 😢

8DaysAWeek · 17/08/2018 22:49

Oh halfblood truly hoping AF doesn't show tomorrow :(

Still feeling very impatient and today was the longest yet of this 2ww. I actually took a cheapie test tonight, 8dpo. There's definitely a shadow of a line which has to be an evap this early, so will be interesting to compare it to tomorrow's test. I woke up today to the worst skin break out I've had in years. There must be over a dozen new spots on my face, mostly my chin. I usually get one or two bad ones a couple of days before AF, but AF is 5 days away. Probably means nothing of course.

Hope everyone is getting on ok Flowers

Oh I really hope not @thehalfbloodprincess fx for you that it's not!

Think I’m out - got awful cramps and back pain so have a feeling af is on her way. Having an early night with my hot water bottle 😩

BasinHaircut · 17/08/2018 15:41

halfblood and alicepol I’m in exactly the same boat. DTD day before +OPK and day off so that was probably 1 and 2 days before ovulation.

Am trying to hang out till Sunday when I’ll be at least 10DPO and will be expecting AF. Ideally I’ll wait till Monday if I can hold on.

Same here girls!
I get more and more down the closer to AF I get and less and less optimistic.
I don't think it's my month again. Sick of it not being my month!

I am having a total downer day today too. Myself nor my toddler are even dressed I just don't have any drive to get on with it. My brother has just text me to see if we wanted to do something so I'm jumping at the chance as this day is dragging. Time is literally standing still as I'm waiting to test.

TheHalfBloodPrincess · 17/08/2018 13:36

I just feel so emotional. I get so excited after I’ve ovulated but the closer it comes to testing my anxiety hits the roof and I feel so depressed. I just want to cry.

Same @thehalfbloodprincess same days we dtd here, don't think we done enough.
Took a IC today on 9 dpo and BFN obviously!

OP posts:
8DaysAWeek · 17/08/2018 12:09

7-8dpo and dying to test!! I'm testing with a cheapie tomorrow. I know it'll be super early but I'm doing everything in my power to not test today so no way will I resist tomorrow!

TheHalfBloodPrincess · 17/08/2018 10:44

I bought an frer.

Haven’t taken it though. Think I’d rather see af than another bfn.

11dpo af due tomorrow so will test Sunday if she’s not here.

I’m in a really crap doom and gloom mood. I really don’t think we’ve done enough this month - only dtd 2 and 1 days before ovulation so quite pessimistic.

I fucking hate the tww 😢

BasinHaircut · 17/08/2018 09:20

Anyone else jonesing for POAS? Grin

8-9 DPO today (I’m thinking probably more likely 8) and now it’s getting close to a time where it could show on a test I’m getting inpatient, but know it’s not quite worth it yet.

How is everyone else getting on?

8DaysAWeek · 16/08/2018 15:56

No it doesn't make sense for it to happen during ovulation at all which is why I found it odd. So really there may be no rhyme or reason to it!

BasinHaircut · 16/08/2018 15:34

I’m pretty sure I’m not ovulating 8days, although I guess I could test and make sure? I think I’m 7-8 DPO.

8DaysAWeek · 16/08/2018 14:07

Funnily enough during ovulation I had that once. Which was weird because I thought when you O your cervix should be high. O has been confirmed with BBT so I don't know what that was about.

BasinHaircut · 16/08/2018 11:10

Sorry it’s not your month leighann

7-8 DPO here and I’ve got a weird tummy this morning, but I think that might be because I had toast for breakfast and so it’s gas.

On a separate note (and possibly TMI) me and DH were DTD last night and when we changed to him behind it felt like he was banging against my cervix and was painful so we had to stop. Anyone else experienced that? Google tells me it might be because of where I am in my cycle and the cervix gets lower towards the end?

See that's good thinking! I like that logic! I have 10 ICs so I'm just gonna use them and start soon!

OP posts:
8DaysAWeek · 16/08/2018 09:39

I'm gonna test on Saturday. According to FF I will be 7dpo but I could be 9dpo. I don't mind using my internet cheapies stupidly and won't be disappointed when (not if!) it's negative.

I waited to test last month and actually seeing a negative at 11dpo is horrible because you lose all hope instantly. At least at 9dpo you can convince yourself you've still got a chance but slowly come to the realisation it's not your month. That's my logic lol.

@8daysaweek I'm saying to myself I wont start testing until Monday which will be 12dpo but I reckon i will probably start Saturday realistically haha! Although I'm busy at work all weekend so I might not have time to think about it.
When are you testing?
