Anyone around 9 dpo?

Hi wondering if anyone is around 9dpo and wants to join me for the agonising wait? I'm trying to hold off from testing until at least 12dpo but it's so hard! I've never obsessed over something so much and I'm only on my 2nd cycle Sad

@Sparkles1992 the temptation is so bad. AF not even due until Sunday for me. I'm probably going to test Wednesday or Thursday with a frer. You could test tomorrow if you're due Friday

Sparkles1992 · 27/08/2018 14:14

Hi everyone, I'm in my first TWW and getting impatient now! AF due on Friday according to my FLO app, but not sure how accurate it is as I had a 32 days cycle last month which is odd for me. FRER calculator says I can test today but I am only 9dpo so I don't think it would be accurate, I am realllllly wanting to test though and have a FRER from last month... the temptation is so hard.

When is everyone else AF due?

Good luck everyone SmileSmileSmile

@lavandrlove 🤞 for when you are testing. No, I didn't get any clarification in regards to the bbt issue, if anything I got more confused as downloaded few more apps and all have different ov dates. Are you going to give bbt a go if not lucky this month?
@Squ1ggle it is so hard, isnt't it, when all you want is that 2nd line :( I caved in and tested with frer this moring and bfn. I am getting light cramps as well so probably af is on her way very very early. And although I know this it won't stop me from testing again tomorrow 😃

lavenderlove · 26/08/2018 10:09

Thanks @Akasia luckily I only have 2 tests left in the house and I don't want to waste them so I'm going to do one on 10dpo then 12dpo I think. My boobs are really sore too! They always are though between ovulation and af so no change here! Hopefully it's not your cycling that's caused them lol. Did you manage to find out about you BBT charts?

@Squ1ggle thanks, luckily I was quite suspicious of it anyway as i was only 5/6dpo and it was quite a dark line. Just confirmed what I thought when it disappeared Sad just seen that you got a bfn this morning but it's still very early!! Don't lose hope. I think I read that the average time for Implantation to occur is 9dpo then I don't think hcg shows up for a little bit after that

Squ1ggle · 26/08/2018 09:16

Oof, that sounds painful! No way I could do that Grin hope it's just too early for you too

Squ1ggle · 26/08/2018 09:14

Thanks @Akasia, I caved and tested this morning but bfn. Telling myself that it's just too early but the pessimist in me is resigning myself to it not being my month

Akasia · 26/08/2018 08:38

getting not betting.. such a doughnut!

Akasia · 26/08/2018 08:36

sorry you've had that @lavanderlove 😔 tww is pure rubbish. But like you say it is early days so abstain from testing (if you can) until closer to af to avoid any more disappointment.
@squ1ggle best of luck for when you're testing! You never know, you might think it's ealy but I see lots of ladies here betting their bfp at 7-8dpo 🤞
I am pretty sure I am 7 or 8dpo and tested with ic this morning and clear negative. But my breasts are sore and I am telling myself maybe just maybe this is the month. Although it's more likely from going off road cycling with no bra 😂

Squ1ggle · 25/08/2018 20:19

@lavenderlove sorry you had that, such a rollercoaster of emotions. I think I'm DPO 6/7 so a day or 2 behind you. Desperate to test, I've felt rubbish today, bit weak and dizzy so I can feel myself getting my hopes up when it's probably just the beginnings of a cold or something. I'm out all day tomorrow so can keep occupied but might do a sneaky test on Monday. I know it's too early really but I can't resist

lavenderlove · 25/08/2018 19:59

Hi @Akasia I think it was a dodgy test  it disappeared after about 15 minutes and then I have had 2 negatives since! So annoying. I'm only 7/8 dpo today though so I'm trying to hold out hope!
I don't do BBT sorry! I'm going to start doing it next month though.
@Thethreeandme how lucky are you only getting a 2 day af!
@Squ1ggle looks like we will be testing around the same time. What dpo are you?

OP posts:
Akasia · 24/08/2018 18:00

Hi all!
How's everyone getting on?
@thethreeandme so glad you're working things out with your oh and hope that you will stress less about everything.
@lavanderlove I think I've seen you post on one of the line eyes threads? If it is you, tentative congratulations as it looked positive 🙈
Any of you any good with BBT charting interpretations? I have 3 different ovulation dates from 3 different apps based on my bbt and I am very confused 😶

Thethreeandme · 23/08/2018 19:34

@froghoppers hi yes af is all done and dusted.. only lasted 2 days lol.. to be honest I'm not going to track anything this month, the stress if it delayed af by a week and put so mich pressure on me and oh.. how are you getting on xx

Squ1ggle · 23/08/2018 11:51

Thanks @froghoppers, yep tww here. I ovulated on Sunday according to my app so hopefully will be able to test early next week. Fingers crossed!

froghoppers · 23/08/2018 11:31

How are you doing @Squ1ggle and @Thethreeandme ? Hope af is over for you @Thethreeandme. Are you in the TWW yet @Squ1ggle ? X

Thethreeandme · 20/08/2018 14:57

@lavenderlove thank you it was tough but being able to talk about the disappointment helped. I think jist enjoying it will help. Proof is in the pudding my stress levels made me a week late this month, that can't be healthy! I'll keep all my fx for you this month.
@Squ1ggle, it does make a difference because when you get dead serious about it I think you kinda expect it to happen in the first month. And you're so right I feel for them, my uncle and his wife had 6 miscarriages and finally had their daughter after 5 years .. I've been trying 3 months and it nearly broke us. Shows the strength of couples I suppose. I was quite surprised we didn't handle it as well.. learning curve for us I think xx

Squ1ggle · 20/08/2018 14:27

@Thethreeandme so pleased that you and your OH have managed to sort things out. We've definitely found this month (our first being super calculated about it all rather than just getting frisky on holiday) that there feels like so much more pressure. I can see it all getting too much if we don't conceive in the next few months. It makes you realise just what those people who have had long term struggles with infertility really go through Sad

lavenderlove · 19/08/2018 17:49

@Thethreeandme Aww I'm really glad things went well! And pleased af showed up for you (sounds weird saying that!). That's a good approach, it can really kill the romance can't it! Haha. Hope everything works out nicely for you Smile and I'm getting on ok thanks, yeh I'm in the TWW now so keeping my fx that this is my month! Will keep you updated x

Thethreeandme · 19/08/2018 08:06

@lavenderlove he did cone back after work gave me a hug that just melted my anxiety had a good talk and guess what!! Af came about a few hours after he got back!! I can't believe it, was almost the release of stress flipped a switch. We kinda said no more 'trying' and being calculated about it because it's making us stressed and romance is dead but if it happens then fantastic.. feel so much better this morning and I genuinely am happy af has arrived. Although it's in full force ooooowch thank you for your support hope you're getting on ok? Are you in tww again now? Xx

lavenderlove · 18/08/2018 16:14

@Thethreeandme oh bless you Sad I hope af comes for you soon and you and your OH work things out. If your OH is anything like me then I didn't realise just how stressful TTC can be. I think that's a good idea, a few months working on just you two could make all the difference. Hopefully these 2 days have given you both chance to gather your thoughts and you can move forward. Good luck, let us know how you get on xx

OP posts:
Thethreeandme · 18/08/2018 13:36

@lavenderlove thank you.. I could feel it! I feel so tearful jist wish I could get af now. I do hope we can sort things out he just seems to have withdrawn since all this. I am going to stop trying and just concentrate on us.. if he wants to make us work that is. I just don't know we've not spoken in 2 days. I hope we can when he gets back from work xx

lavenderlove · 18/08/2018 13:25

@Akasia I think I ovulated today or yesterday I'm not sure. I'm on CD14 now and just got a negative OPK. I got positive ones on CD12 and 13. A month or so break will make no difference in the long run so you've done the right thing if the stress was getting to you - it's so stressful isn't it! I have been doing SMEP so I'm really hoping it works. When I've got my last two cycles of BFN's I can always think of a reason I might not have got a BFP, but I feel like we have done everything we can this month so it will be more disappointing if it doesn't happen. Good luck for this weekend if you decide to give it a go!

OP posts:
lavenderlove · 18/08/2018 13:16

@Thethreeandme I hope you're ok, sounds like you've had a tough week. It's possible that the stress is effecting your cycle, but I would go to the doctor to rule out anything else you're worried about. Like @Akasia says TTC really does mess up your cycle, I'm never late but my first month TTC I was a few days late. I hope you can sort things out with your OH if that's what you want. Take some time for yourself today, sending a virtual hug!

OP posts:
Thethreeandme · 18/08/2018 06:44

@Akasia it's a totally normal thing to ask on this thread haha.. and I know my body has been messed up this month. It's put a lot of strain on my oh too. So much so that last night he left to go and stay at his moms cor a week. I'm utterly heartbroken don't know which way my life is heading so I'm kinda glad I'm getting bfn now as he clearly isn't as into the idea as he used to be. I've also booked a smear for next week as I had abnormal cells a few years back so just rule that out too .. mines all doom and gloom.. how is everyone else's? Bit more positive I hope and getting some good news? Xx

Akasia · 17/08/2018 22:38

Hello ladies, hope you're all well. How are things going, anyone ovulated yet? 😃 such a strange thing to ask.
@Thethreeandme I think you shouldn't worry. Ttc has this tendency of messing with your body so you will have strange things happening to you. Like periods will always be late especially when you're 100% sure you are pregnant. Or you'll start feeling nausous or have a metallic taste in your mouth when actually it's our minds playing tricks on us. It could also be that you ovulated late. Last month I was 4 days late and in last 2 years I've only been late once. But I am sure that is because I was convinced I was pregnant. Maybe if af doesnt show in a week or you are very worried contact your gp to get some reassurance.
Thw stress of ttc has got to me this time, I actually decided to take a break from it (had no sex, so my great SMEP plan went out the window). But today had lots of ewcm (sorry) so kind of considering giving it a good go over the weekend and if it doesn't happen this month then will take a break..
