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

@thethreeandme @lavenderlove

I'm occasionally checking in here to see how everyone's doing. Lavender fingers crossed Friday.
Where are you in your cycle @thethreeandme? xxx

Thethreeandme · 16/10/2018 18:57

@BLS1983 it's the best way. luckily I'm working full time at the moment or I'd go insane! My sister is going for her 12 week scan tomorrow so trying to focus on her pregnancy instead xx

BLS1983 · 16/10/2018 17:17

@Thethreeandme it gonna lie it's permanently on my mind :-/. Just trying to keep busy ;-) xx

Thethreeandme · 16/10/2018 15:54

@lavenderlove water infexti9ns are the worst!! Fx for Friday, you're not hurting anyone testing early so go for it.

@BLS1983 thank you, that's reassuring. I think it's so easy to get caught up in it happening in the first few months! Good luck with yours fx for you too. Great that you're not stressing about it though xx

BLS1983 · 16/10/2018 13:37

Sorry to butt in. I was trying for my first for 9 months. Gave up hope and then fell at 11 months so don't give up hope. I'm on cycle 11 for number two and not worrying just yet. Also my first month using ovulation sticks. Good luck to all xx

Thanks @Thethreeandme I hope you get yours this cycle too! I know, it's so frustrating and I hate all the waiting around! I've decided to test on Friday morning (af due on Tuesday) don't know if that's too early but I'm going out so need to know if I can have a drink haha!
So annoying when your cycle messes you around like that!! Mine was 3 days early last month. Hopefully we will go back to our normal cycles now!
Also I think I'm getting a water infection and feeling quite ill with it arghh X

@lavenderlove I bloody hope so for you! It's getting so boring writing "So af has arrived" lol. I'd love to tell you all I have a bfp as much as I'd love you read you have one! My cycles are all over the shop. Last 2 have been 34 days this one was 28 🙄 just to make things even bloody harder to track! Xx

@Thethreeandme af is really annoying! I think it's normal for it to take up to a year so I wouldn't worry yourself yet. Even though I know exactly how you feel because I'm starting to feel like it's never going to happen! I'm on cycle 5 now. I'm about 7dpo and I've been getting af type cramps today so I'm really hoping it could be a good sign

@lavenderlove thank you, things are back on track now. Af is annoying as you know especially given it's cycle 6 now! What cycle are you on. And has anyone conceived past cycle 6 without assistance? I know it can take longer but I can't help worrying xx

Hey everyone! First of all congrats to you @spottypyjamas so pleased for you!! Giving us all hope! And glad everything is going well @blitzen keep us updatedSmile

Sorry I disappeared for a bit. I decided I needed to just relax and not think about TTC this cycle. I've been casually dtd as normal and haven't tracked anything but I would guess I'm around 6-7dpo. I'm not even feeling the urge to test which is unusual, but good!

Sorry af arrived for you @Thethreeandme Hope you've got things sorted with your partner too.
Hope this is your month @Squ1ggle!

So sorry @Thethreeandme x

Thethreeandme · 14/10/2018 14:56

Well cycle 6 out the window, af arrived today, good luck to everyone else waiting this month though xxx

Squ1ggle · 14/10/2018 08:49

How is everyone doing at the moment? @Thethreeandme, I hope things are ok. I'm in cycle 4 now, keeping everything crossed for this month

blitzen · 11/10/2018 10:48

Okay @thethree, sounds like a step forward. I conceived in cycle 6. Felt like an age.

Thethreeandme · 11/10/2018 06:23

Thank you, we have spoken now there are a few little things that were getting on top of us that we need to look at , did test this morning 12dpo bfn. I had no symptoms was just curious! How many cycles are you all on this is my 5th xx

blitzen · 09/10/2018 20:17

I'm sorry to hear that @thethree. I hope you can sort it out but him staying away sounds hurtful if you don't know the reason why. I hope you are looking after yourself and take care xx

Thethreeandme · 09/10/2018 11:17

@blitzen no he's back but I don't know, seems like something is really on his head but won t talk about his worries , don't know how to deal with it he's totally shutting me down, he even stayed at his moms 2 nights cx

blitzen · 09/10/2018 08:57

Ps @iris, I am fine thank you. Still nauseous which was bad last night but I'm otherwise okay!

blitzen · 09/10/2018 08:56

Okay, @iris. I do think mother nature is cruel to us with af. Hope you're okay.

Oh no, @thethree :( sorry to hear that. Is your OH still working away this month? Hope you can sort it out xx

iris81 · 08/10/2018 21:11

@Thethreeandme I really hope it's nothing serious and just a blip that you can both sort out. Relationships are up and down aren't they! Thanks for the kind thoughts too Smile xx

Thethreeandme · 08/10/2018 21:03

@iris81 thank you, will see if it works it's self out. Hope you get a result one way or the other it's no fun waiting, a few months back mime cruely kept me waiting 8 days late!! I was so sure I was pregnant but nope big heavy af instead .. fx for you xx

iris81 · 08/10/2018 20:47

@blitzen no my cycles aren't usually so long this one is ridiculous! I think af might be coming though, had some spotting today. Hope it just comes tomorrow so I can get it over and done with! How are you feeling? X

@Thethreeandme I'm sorry to hear things aren't going so well, sending a big hug xx

Thethreeandme · 08/10/2018 18:32

I'm due on the weekend having some relationship troubles this week though so I don't know how I feel about bfn or bfp.. time will tell 😔

blitzen · 08/10/2018 17:49

Oh @iris, that's a long cycle for you. Hope you are not in limbo for much longer. Are your cycles usually that long? X

How is everyone else getting on? X

iris81 · 07/10/2018 21:14

@blitzen I tested yesterday afternoon bfn. Think I'm resigned to af probably turning up but extremely late!!
