TWW testing end of sept/Oct

@Marlieandme81 last month i started testing at 6dpo all the way through to AF like a crazy woman! Cost a fortune haha

@littlevoice22 oh, I'm absolutely the same haha. Tested with a cheap Poundland one a couple of days ago and got a BFN but was only 6dpo then. Don't know what I was thinking! Don't want to waste the First response (not CB as previously stated) as they're more expensive.

The first responses say they can detect from 6 days before your missed period (so 5 days before its due) but the sooner you test the less accurate they will be. The best thing is to wait until the day your AF is due but for me that is impossible as too impatient haha

*days

Blue dye tests are notoriously bad for false positives so I would wait a few more Fahd

Advice please ladies. I am 9dpo today and bought a few of the CB Early responses this morning. When should I test? Getting very impatient! AF due on Tuesday.

*cheap tests

Hi all

I've not even bought any frer because a) I don't want to test too early because it makes me sad and b) there have been reports of them giving out false positives which is heartbreaking. I bought a load of one step sheet tests so I'm going to wait until AF is due and use one of those instead

Hello, hope you don't mind me jumping on this! TTC baby #1 this is our second cycle, now 4pdo. I told myself i wouldnt obsess symptom spotting this month but been just as bad! I imagine every little twinge or ache as being some kind of sign or symtom. The 2ww is sooo long DH doesnt get it at all, he tells me to just chill and not think about it

@Lilsttc I can see a faint line!

@Chaosonthehorizon I'm also due on Thursday 3rd Oct. This is our 5th cycle ttc now, I know its not long in the grand scheme of things but finding it really hard. Trying not to symptom spot, thr only thing I've noticed different this month to all the others, is the last couple of days my left boob hurts first thing in the morning. At first I thought it was heartburn, but in all honesty I don't even know if I've ever had heartburn to know what it feels like.

Fingers crossed to everyone. @MrsSokhi will this be your first baby? Xxx

I should add I did a FRER too and it's as white as white can be

Hi ladies, woken up to an absolute squinter of a line, can anyone else see it? I feel like I'm going made looking at a test this much!!

This made me chuckle, no useful/practical advice but makes it clear we're not the only ones feeling this way, our anxieties and repetitive thoughts are perfectly normal -

All the best ladies xx

Thanks @MrsSokhi from what I remember of our second pregnancy we conceived after the 3rd cycle and it was getting a little easier, I think I was just getting bored of it by then. I must admit I don't know how people do it for years, that must be so tough.
How are you doing now it's been a couple of days? I'm a little low today, not awful but feeling hormonal like I'm a teenager again! x

Af due Monday/Tuesday and ttc 3, a few months in now and driving myself crazy!

I hear you @MadisonC Google can be terrible can't it. Two weeks has never felt so long. I'm a little worried that I'm due on Sunday and I don't have the same symptoms I had last month. My boobs hurt like crazy and yet this month nothing. I'm worried that my cycle is going to prove to be completely messed up still.
But wait and see I guess. Grrrr.

Keep strong ladies.

Thank you. Sorry you're out.

Yeah symptom spotting is the worst, isn't it amazing how blind we are to these things have have happened to us for years every month but now we're ttc it's like omg my boobs, my cramps, my cm. I even piss myself off 😂😂

@Lilsttc welcome btw! I'm not sure I have any words of wisdom ... other than having this forum to share has been really helpful. For me my OH doesn't want to hear all my hormonal stuff much, not at least until a positive result comes up! x

AF has just arrived a bit early so I'm out this month. The horrible thing about symptom spotting is really noticing all the pms symptoms ... I was convinced last week and spent far too much time on google!

Hi ladies can I join?

This tww is torture, its our 3rd month ttc baby #1... I'm 35, husband is 27.

I'm on 7dpo, AF due in 8 days. Stupidly got some tests in the drawer that seem to chant my name to be used but I know it's just silly.

Sending lots of luck to everyone

@MrsSokhi sorry to hear it's not your month, although it seems like your level headed about it all and I agree with you and others, any chance to get to know your natural cycle better is a massive help. Sending best wishes to you.
As for me I'm still in the waiting game, I'm pretty sure it's a no this month and so if AF comes I'll kind of be relieved pms symptoms will end for a little while, it's due between Thurs & Sat as my cycle ranges from 26 - 28 days generally ... ah, I don't know about anyone else but I will never get used to this waiting game xx
