Anyone testing 26-30th jan and want a pal?

@aliSxo Yes! I remember it was you now, I read it and thought I reason about it the absolute same way!

@AsSurprisedAsYouAre I've said it before I've always said if I test early and it's bfn that's ok because it's too early, I'm in a bubble of bullshit and then 12/13dpo bfn's really piss me off! Xz

1DPO. Ah, hello again tww. We meet again. Maybe this will be the month I'm super chill and stick to my plan? No testing before 10DPO, but a frer then is perfect because I get to POAS (the feeling of action! The illusion of control!) and there's a tiny chance of a faint pos, but a BFN isn't too disheartening because it's still so early. Was it someone else on this thread saying that was their preferred tactic/rationale too?

Most people don’t implant until 9dpo and you’ll get no HCG until then so I’d recommend waiting until then if you can

Sparkle 😂😂😂 someone needs to lock the sticks away!! I think 8DPO is my earliest I’ve tested.

6 DPO (days post ovulation), and temperature has dropped today so either implantation (probably too early for that) or I’m out for this month. Really hoping it’s the first one. Feeling tiny bit crampy but nothing special and it’s probably my mind playing tricks. Trying to hold out until atleast Wednesday to test.

Just tested at 3dpo lol. Ttc makes me nuts

@JoesM12 I think were out this month too. We DTDd quite a lot up until the time I was predicted to ovulate but I think I ovulated late and this week has been super stressful for DH at work with some really late nights etc so the timing has been really off. Urgh so cross, almost cross with myself and with him but it's no ones fault. Not as if I can call up his work and tell them to make someone else do it as i need him at home, is it...?!

@AliSxo ahhh that’s not long to wait then! Definitely let us know 🙂 I think I probably will end up testing on the Sunday too!x

@Bethwox yes this'll be my first which is cute!! Fingers crossed I catch this month and hope you get your BFP too!!

@JoesM12 I think I'll test at 9DPO which is early I know but ahh well, I calculate that to be next Friday xx

@BellaMella I was considering testing tomorrow morning at 10DPO but it's made me change my mind!

@newmum2020 that's a good article and is making me rethink my decision to purchase an early tester! With DS I didn't get a BFP until AF was 6 days late so I should know better really....I was planning on testing on the 27th this month. I should probably wait for as long as possible...

@AliSxo it’s so nice having some ladies in similar situations!
When are you planning to test? I sort of want to test the 26th because my husband Weill be around but AF isn’t due until the 28th/29th🤔

Useful article ladies for those of us tempted to test early!!

@AliSxo I had my first ever blaring positive opk yesterday for 24 hours.. I have pcos and I've never Caught it! Me and my husband have been trying on and off for about a year or so.. we have a nearly 5 year old who wasn't planned at all! Would this be your first? Cxx

Hey @JoesM12 welcome to the 1DPO club!! There's a few of us I think so we'll be testing at the same time, always good to have buddies!! Sounds like you've done enough in the fertile window so fingers crossed for you xx

@Bethwox I haven't had a stark positive OPK but had close to it so going to just use my ovulation dates from previous cycles. Yes this'll be my first so it's exciting, been trying since October so hoping it happens soon, which cycle are you on? Xxxx

I’m also 1dpo!!
But I already get the feeling we’re probably out this month. We only managed to dtd the day before ovulation and two days before that during my fertile week because my husband was away 😩
Still keeping my hopes up!
Hope we see some bfp’s on this thread 😊

I’m 1dpo glad to have some company in the dreaded tww. I am going to try and hold of testing this month until after AF. AF due 30th Jan

Confused and stressing now. 6/7dpo and it almost feels like i'm on my bloody period. Even checked but everything still high and soft and CM is white but more watery!

Hey! @AliSxo I was off over Christmas too! but I had my period on the 26th I ovulated yesterday so fingers crossed.. I'm hoping this is my month.. is this your first?

Hey @Bethwox I'm 1DPO!! I've got lots planned for next week to distract me as last month being off work for Christmas I had far too much time on my hands to google and test all the time so trying to keep busy! Xx

Officially 1 DPO today.. I'm symptom spotting like crazy 😰 why is it so hard for the second one!!

Sounds like you deffo ovulated earlier than normal. Fingers crossed!! I think I either Od yesterday or maybe today but had DTD on Tuesday night, hope I’ve timed it okay! This is my first month trying!!! Xx

@Sparkle2020 I'm 3dpo and really want to test! Know I'll just upset myself though so trying to keep my mind off it

I'm a bit slow joining here as I thought we'd not got the ovulation&DTD timing right but I'm 6dpo (according to my fitbit) and have started light bleeding and cramps. AF not due till 24th and I'm never early, always late so thinking maybe implantation bleeding?!

First cycle trying for our 2nd baby. DS just turned 3. I've ordered one of the clearblue early testing sticks which isn't due to arrive till monday so just need to stay calm until that arrives....
