I had some gin tonight too ladies and tomorrow 😈

Wow so many of us in the same boat - great to hear everyone’s position and news.

@cupcakesandglitter I have just poured a massive glass of a lovely white wine and I am enjoying it so much. I hardly drank in my TWW - kept feeling worried or guilty even though I don’t think it would really affect anything so soon. So this is the (small) upside of AF arriving. Wine

Welcome @mrsof20118 👋🏻

@ttcat32 we can do it!! I have to wait till at least Wednesday to test if AF hasn't arrived because I got DH to hide the tests!! Haha. I could probably find them if I REALLY wanted to but I'm trying to be good so I'm resisting the urge!

purplestar9 · 25/08/2018 20:25

@MrsC87 good! Keep up the energy! I'm good thank you, just waiting out the next few days to see if AF arrives on time, this 2ww doesn't feel like it's been too bad, just gotta keep myself busy now!

MrsR16 · 25/08/2018 20:18

@Malichick only 3 days to wait until there's pretty much a 50/50 chance!

ttcat32 · 25/08/2018 20:16

@ChaosMoon absolutely, hope you feel a bit more human soon!! X

@purplestar9 I'm one day behind you! 11dpo AF due Wednesday, sitting on my hands not to test!

Welcome @mrsof20118 and everyone else!

Omg @ValidUser I have gin at home!! Currently up north - can't wait to get home and put my feet up! X

ValidUser · 25/08/2018 19:57

Looking forward to my clearblue opks this month!

mrsof20118 · 25/08/2018 19:52

Hello everyone.
New here. Age 33 and came off mini pill the second week in August. Would say c1 but no sign of AF - few cramps here and there but still waiting for her to show so I can figure out when I’m ovulating etc.

BambiOnIce80 · 25/08/2018 19:49

@cupcakesandglitter and @ValidUser I'll join you with a gin and tonic 🍸 I've cracked open "the good bottle" to cheer myself up. BFN FRER yesterday and AF turned up bang on CD28 today... at least I didn't have to wait long for AF to show up 😏 Cheers to September ladies 🥂

ValidUser · 25/08/2018 19:42

@cupcakesandglitter enjoying gin here myself! 🍸

MrsC87 · 25/08/2018 19:32

Hi @purplestar9, I'm feeling good thanks, positive and energised, however after this next couple of weeks I'll need a holiday to sleep! Lol. How are you?

cupcakesandglitter · 25/08/2018 19:30

Definitely @purplestar9 - I'll have a glass for everyone still in this month 😂 xx

purplestar9 · 25/08/2018 19:25

Sorry @cupcakesandglitter
Positivity is the way forward though!

purplestar9 · 25/08/2018 19:24

Hi also @MrsC87 don't think I've spoken to you before! How are you? Sounds like you've got your work cut out for this cycle! Good luck 😃

cupcakesandglitter · 25/08/2018 19:23

Anyone want to join for a glass or two tonight? Wine I've accepted my cycles are well and truly f'ed up this cycle, going to chill out later and wait to start again next month! X

purplestar9 · 25/08/2018 19:23

@Littlemisssunshine86 no probs, this thread is pretty busy! I'm currently on day 33, 11DPO. AF due on Tuesday so really really hoping!! It's mine and DH 1st wedding anniversary on 31st so it would be so amazing if this is our month!

Littlemisssunshine86 · 25/08/2018 19:20

@purplestar9 yeh it's awful and trying not to get hopes up as well. Bless ya bet that's even more torturous.
Where are you currently in your cycle? Sorry if you have already said working my way through the thread lol.

purplestar9 · 25/08/2018 19:16

@Littlemisssunshine86 you're in the TWW then! It always seems to drag. I basically have a 5 week cycle so 3 weeks before ovulation and 2 weeks after, I'm
Sure the 2 weeks feels like longer than the 3!

Littlemisssunshine86 · 25/08/2018 19:12

@purplestar9 AF is due about 7th September and probably only 2 dpo.

Malichick · 25/08/2018 19:11

@MrsR16 I’m the same. www.countdowntopregnancy.com/pregnancy-test/dpo-chart.php?dpo=6 That website told me there is a 3.6% chance I could get a positive today n I actually had to talk myself out of testing

MrsR16 · 25/08/2018 19:09

@Malichick not too sure yet... I'm gonna try and hold out for as long as possible, but not sure I'm going to be able to!

purplestar9 · 25/08/2018 19:06

Hi @Littlemisssunshine86 how are you? How far through your cycle are you?

Malichick · 25/08/2018 19:00

Looks like there is a few of us due AF on the 2nd. When are you all planning on testing?

MrsR16 · 25/08/2018 18:39

@NeverStopExploring sounds like you're on a similar CD to me and @sunshine1987 😊 the waiting is horrible!
