TWW - testing 4th September

@Nic555 I feel in a similar boat to you. No symptoms yet, expecting af on Thursday or Friday! It's so hard to no symptom spot isn't it?

Aww thank you @Raizelrea and @MrsMeow2019 😀
Honestly it's been so much better not testing! It they're not in the house it's just so easy to not be tempted, if they're in the house I'd be testing 3 times a day like last month driving myself insane!
When will you both be testing? Sorry if you've just said I'm not up to date on the thread! X

I'm currently 12 DPO Af due in Tuesday. My app tells me to test tomorrow but think I'll wait till Wednesday if Af doesn't arrive. What do you all think? Only 2nd month TTC. First month had terrible PMT week before AF this month nothing. Felt a little nausea but think that may just be a bit of anxiousness. If I don't get my BP this month I'm not going to symptom spot next month as can drive u insane x

@MrsMeow2019 I'm probably going to have to test on Tuesday - not sure I can wait till next weekend!

@itssquidstella fingers crossed for implantation bleeding! Sounds promising :D

@MrsMc2019 cake better than chocolate that's meant to read!

@MrsMc2019 Cake is arguably much superior to cake, I'm a carrot fan myself hehe. And congratulations on the wedding, you must be really busy with last minute bits :D, We got married last year and this summer has been so quite with no organising to do :(. Hope you have a fabulous day and what a lovely time TTC!

@Raizelrea Well done for getting through the wedding wthout much alcohol, it's so difficult isn't it and people automatically assume you're pregnant if you happen to say no to a drink. Lol re the CM, I've been telling DH all about mine, there's a new level of sharing we never expected haha. I've googled so many pictures of EWCM I hope nobody else wants to use my laptop :/

@Blossomingflower94 Sorry to hear that, maybe urine was more dilute? it's not over till Af turns up the evil witch

@november90 You're one strong cookie not testing, you're right though, I'm going to take that advise next month. Too late now I've already done about 4 tests and I'm only 10 DPO. Fingers crossed for your BFP :)

@Raizelrea ha me neither 😂 if that's what it was then I still have two days before I can test so I'm trying to keep my expectations low...

I'm supposed to be going out later but I'm so shattered all I want to do is sleep! Again, that's more likely to be because I went back to work last week than anything pregnancy-related, or so I'm telling myself 🙄

@itssquidstella I think I'm 10 DPO. Sounds like you might be having implantation bleeding, hopefully it stays light! How exciting! Never thought I'd get excited about CM haha!

@Raizelrea how many dpo are you now? Sorry for tmi but I think I've just had some pink-tinged cm (in underwear, nothing when I wiped); am really hoping it's not AF because I'm definitely no more than 10dpo and that would indicate a worryingly short luteal phase 😞

Feeling quite nauseous today. Keep getting wiffs of stuff... I really need to stop symptom spotting.

@Blossomingflower94 Sorry about the BFN! I think it could still go either way at this point!

@MrsMc2019 Sounds like a lovely chilled Sunday! That's a good way of looking at it!

@november90 I admire your patience, especially with the long cycles! I don't know if creamy CM necessarily foreshadows AF, don't most people dry up before their period?

Well according to my app AF due today on day 37. But last month was 39 days and I had my peak ovulation 2 weeks ago on Thursday so I'm predicting a long rotten cycle and af on Friday... just in time for my holiday! I was hoping to surprise my DH with a positive just before we left... fingers crossed for a miricle!
Boobs ever so slightly soar today and I've still got some shows of thick, creamy CM (so sorry if tmi) so I think I'm on track for AF 😬
I haven't tested once this cycle. Last month I drove myself insane with constant testing and I must say that I feel a lot better and more relaxed doing it this way! I just got rid of every single test in the house to take temptation away!

@Blossomingflower94 I'm having a semi lazy PJ day ironing and watching Netflix while my fiancé is working them watching the football.

Comfort dinner planned tonight with steak pie mash & peas.

I'm trying to perk myself up by reminding myself that if we're out my next fertile week is in the run up to our wedding so we'll be in the perfect mood for celebrating x

@itsquidstella I get pimples before AF every cycle - but that doesn't necessarily mean you're not pregnant!

@Blossomingflower94 Did you test again today?

I made it through the wedding yesterday with pretty limited drinking, had the prosecco for toast and one glass of white wine which made me feel a bit sick, so spent lest of the night drinking diluted apple juice from a wine glass, looked convincing enough, at least to the drunk people 😃 The trickiest bit was fodging the bride's attempts to do shots 😄

Not sure if the fact the wine made me sick means much, I can normally handle my drink well but there was way too much food so could have something to do with that.

Thank you @MrsMeow2019, I've been getting reiki and I think it's really helping me - sadly I can't have chocolate, I'm hypersensitive to caffeine so I have to avoid it (but I make up for it with cake!) x

@itssquidstella I think spots can be an early sign but they're a sign of AF too , our bodies are so cruel lol!

@AliSxo hope you have a good week too, fingers crossed for lots of BFPs 💖🍼

@MrsMc2019 sending lots of love to you, I can't imagine how you feel, be kind to yourself this week - like a tonne of chocolate xxx

@MrsMc2019 oh me too. I've got the worst spots on my forehead today, which probably just means af is coming, but I swear I didn't have them this badly last month so part of me is hoping it's a sign!

Does anyone know if bad skin can be an early symptom, or am I kidding myself?

@itssquidstella every little twitch or tickle I feel I keep thinking ooooh that's a symptom then I realise it can so easily be explained away by something else! I feel that my body is playing games sometimes.

@MrsMeow2019 snap!! I did one then got so disheartened, it's torture!! My due date for the baby I lost earlier this year is this month so I think I'm putting sooo much pressure on myself

@MrsMeow2019 it's nice we're in the same boat!! Boobs still sore but agree this could be a normal AF symptom... good luck for this week! Xx

@AliSxo I used up a Frer yesterday, got one left and a clear blue packet ... they're too expensive to waste so I'll leave them till Thursday / Friday 😂

It's my first month of the pill too after 5 years. It's hard to interpret anything as might just be PMs that we've not noticed being on the pill 💊

All will be revealed one way or the other this week and if not we'll have to start an October bus!

@MrsMeow2019 I couldn't resist an internet cheapie and it was BFN!! AF due on Wednesday so I agree we all find out this week and not a two week wait!! I've got lots of FRER stocked up and some clear blue on their way in the post!! I agree I'll stop testing it's not helping! Such sore boobs last night but as this is my first month off the pill I'm unsure if that's just an AF symptom xx

@MrsMeow2019 I stupidly tested in the evening at 7dpo, mostly because I'd bought a pack of cheap dipstick tests that I'd never used before and wanted to figure out how they work, and obviously it was negative (then I read the instructions more closely and it said you could only test one day before your period anyway, so I should have saved the effort!).

No more testing for me unless AF doesn't arrive on the 6th - I'm at a wedding on Saturday and would like to know whether or not I can drink.

My back has just started cramping a bit though so AF is probably en route.
