TWW. AF DUE 30/11 ANYONE ELSE IN THE TWW

@Shuckle thank you. I've only gone and googled my due date if this new cycleworks.... looks like the 2WW doesnt even effect me losing my marbles!!!!! September baby anyone?! Haha 😅

Oh @Snowberry4 I'm really sorry ☹️ take the positives away - AF hasn't kept you hanging on too long, now you know, and you're on to a fresh cycle and a brand new chance. Lots of merry Christmas festivities and fun 😉 hopefully some of us will graduate from the November threads but if not, see you in December x

@danielasummer sorry to hear that, lots of luck for next month!

@ScaredFlamingo it feels like I have a mouth full of coke and the bubbles are popping on my tongue, I've brushed my teeth twice already and it's really icky 🤞

I had a peruse of my test collection this morning - got one cheapy early response thats 10MIU so would probably use that first, then some cheapies that say 20MIU which is still decent, also got a clear blue (non digital) which doesn't say - and my FRER. Lots of choice! Still want to hold out til sunday/Monday but if you ladies start on Thursday it might set me off 😂 I'm trying to tell myself "A BFP will still be there in a few days, but a false BFN will only ruin my week" .. it's tough!

AF just made an appearance :(
BFN on Saturday too, which was CD 31.. but guess I'm now CD1 hmmm.

Wishing everyone the best of luck this cycle :)

Count me in for a December thread if anyone else finds themselves in a similar situation! Good luck ladies x x x

@wackadoodle84 Hahaha yes, we need @Shuckle to keep us in check!!
Exactly, we’re so close now. Hopefully by the weekend we will know either way (and have a few glasses of wine if it’s BFN!!)

@Shuckle, Brilliant! We have someone who can keep the rest of us addicts in check. Am determined now to last until Thursday at least

@Scaredflamingo only 3 days left to testing day, we can do this 💪. No real symptoms as such from me today, off work now for a few days so will be harder to distract myself!

@ElizabethBennet3rd when are you due to test?

@danielasummer sorry to hear you out for this cycle. Hoping December is your month

@shuckle That’s exactly it!! It’s like a fizzy, acidy, icky taste. It’s like I did a shot and it’s sitting funny in my throat ready to repeat on me haha! I can’t face a coffee this morning and only thing I could stomach was dry cornflakes ...

Hi all, sadly I'm going to leave this group (haven't written much as my temp hasn't risen yet so couldn't confirm ovulation) - had a scan on Saturday. Lots of follicles, none of them mature/maturing, so looks like I'm out for this cycle as probably anovulatory. Sending loads of luck to you all for BFPs! xx

@ScaredFlamingo get your hopes up, no - but stay optimistic 😊 I have a really weird taste in my mouth today too actually.. slightly metally, but actually would be better described as fizzy! Almost like I can feel bubbles fizzing on my tongue, my coffee felt so strange. Aren't we all a bunch of wallies 😂

So after my pessimism I have woken up with slight lower back and abdomen pressure (goes into my thighs), nausea and an acid taste in my throat that gets a bit metallic I think (May be imagining)... I am now 13 dpo and AF due in 2/3 days.
Should I start getting hopes up or not...?

Morning! @NCON I'm still resisting! 9DPO today. Ooh that's a good idea, read the leaflet! Or maybe if the stick is in my hand it might be too tempting 😂 AF due Sunday for me according to my app (30 day cycle) though my cycles are usually 26 days so actually could be anytime from tomorrow. maybe I have a short luteal phase - I've always assumed my ovulation was CD13 as per the app and first time testing showed CD16, so not sure.

@ElizabethBennet3rd you are absolutely not out!!! Remember you said you aren't sure on ov day, if you are 7dpo - the egg implants between 6-12dpo so you might not have even implanted yet!! Stay positive, those BFNs don't mean anything yet x

I'd personally still have hope till AF comes 🤞🏼

How's everyone holding off with POAS? I was so tempted last night that I read the leaflet of FRER just so I'm 100% prepared to go later this week 😂 AF due Sat but supposed to be going for work drinks Friday! I'm afraid to drink during TWW just in case 🤞🏼

You ladies amaze me! Such willpower! I’m going crazy right now, am uncertain on my ovulation date as firtile CM lasted 4 days but I’m anywhere between 7-11 DPO. My symptoms are like nothing I’ve ever experienced- low back ache, mild stomach cramp. That pinky CM a few days ago. Now have sore boobs and very emotional. I’m convinced something is different this month BUT just did a FRER and BFN 😢. Do you think I’m out? It’s all so frustrating.

Well done @Shuckle for not testing!!

I’m feeling pessimistic today. I am 12 dpo, AF due on Wednesday or Thursday. I woke up with some hangover type feelings, feeling like crying and queasiness but am now Im feeling better free except some pressure in my womb - it’s not quite cramping, and radiates to my lower back and top of my thighs.. I am also have a few shooting pains in my boobs.
All my cm has stopped today. Weirdly my lips are super plumped today (no idea what that’s about!).
I have a feeling I’m on my way to AF starting.

Evening ladies! @ScaredFlamingo @Wackadoodle84 I am 100% yet to POAS, so I can be the voice of encouragement - if I can do it, you can!! 😁
I went into town for some lunch with my mum today and I dragged her around superdrug and boots looking at tests 😂 I got myself a pack of FRERs and also a pack of 3 cheapies from Poundland but I have promised myself they cannot be used until the 2nd, if AF doesn't come in the meantime! I am 8dpo today and got plenty of creamy CM and also really painful nipples this evening - sort of a white hot pain, like they're being pinched really hard. Staying optimistic and hoping that's a good sign! Any symptoms anyone else?

@VaggieMight yeah I agree with @ChampooPapi sit tight and just enjoy your day and worry about it tomorrow if there's anything that needs worrying about. Keep yourself busy and disttacted. Will be hoping and praying the doctors and nurses will be knowledgable and know how to help and advise you if needed and hoping you can find peace at what seemes a confusing and frustrating time. We are all here for you whatever the outcome

@VaggieMight yes do not test today, just sit on your hands, you will absolutely ruin your mood and day for no reason really other then the compulsion. It is an addictive thing as well in the fact the more you do it the more you want to.

The less you test the less you feel that compulsion, or if you feel it you can at least be strong enough not to act on it. If it stops being part of the 'routine' it is easier to break the habit of doing it.

Be strong and you can always test in the morning if you must but don't do this to yourself today, you and your partner deserve a break on a Sunday 🧘‍♀️

Hi all!
I have a question for anyone who can answer. I’m 9 dpo and just had my OPK, LH test say “high”. Has this happened to anyone before?

Welcome to the club! I am ridiculously overthinking every little symptom that is likely nothing!!

We can hold out... we’re sane, grown women.. we can do this!!! Plus I’m not buying anymore tests unless AF doesn’t turn up!!

I’m due on the 1st/2nd according to Flo app - but already caved and bought a pack of first response tests. Now they are in the top draw ... it’s even harder to resist trying one! Going to try hold off to sat 30th but can see myself giving in by weds this week 😬 fingers crossed for everyone else too! Xx

@NCON this definitely seems to be the right thread for poas addicts 😂.

Am the same with symptom spotting and over analysing every little twinge, it’s like once I enter the 2ww, all sense and reason go straight out the window
