Testing 19/01 onwards

I'm 23 and partner 26!! Xxx

@chlo04 I'm 26, my husband is 30.

We're on month 2 TTC, AF due 19th Jan.

@chlo04 I'm 30, 31 in March

Also how old is everyone! 😁 xxx

@BeccaE

Morning, Awh gosh I'm so so sorry to hear that 🙁 sending lots of hope and good luck to you this month.

On the up side! That taste in your mouth is a pregnancy symptom?! So hopefully this month is your month!! Fingers crossed!

8DPO! Could be time to test! My friend got hers and 7DPO

I've joined to reply to this thread. I will be testing at the end of the month..

I think/hope I was ovulating when my app said I did. Trying to conceive baby no 2, and the first baby only took one month to conceive.. so now I am super looking forward to my first test. Although I know that statistically it's not always that easy, and I am afraid I will be really disappointed.

With my first one I was expecting a long wait and this time I'm expecting no wait and don't want to be disappointed

@chlo04 sorry to hear you're not feeling well, waiting is bad enough without feeling rough!

I have woken up with a headache and a weird slightly metallic taste in my mouth. Probably nothing as I didn't get much sleep (my husband's uncle sadly died last night, very expected and probably a blessing considering his condition but still sad) which is probably why I'm feeling rough.

Now at 8DPO and getting impatient!

How is everyone else doing? x

Morning ladies!

Congrats on the very faint line! Let's hope it all progresses! Sorry to those who are out this month! Fingers crossed next month is your month! Also on the bright side, if your period comes earlier it means you will ovulate earlier!!! So hopefully your be pregnant next month earlier than expected!

I've got the sniffles still! Very unusual for someone like me who has high NK cells!!

I suppose I'm probably clutching straws again this month but I keep secretly hoping it is my month.

I'm not putting myself through the heartache of early testing this month so I have decided to wait till 10DPO as advised by my consultant, although I'm pretty sure I'm out!

CM has dried up, cervix is firm! So all signs AF is on the way!

Typical! How is everyone feeling today? Starting to think I should have had the day off work! I feel super rough today!

Amazing to hear about all your bfp's.. my AF is due 18/01.. I took an frer this morning and a Bfn 😢 don't know why I put myself through it. Hope you all have better news than me xx

@Mum2B36 don’t feel guilty! It’s your journey and there’s nothing wrong with testing early if that’s what you want to do. That’s so exciting - really, really hope you get confirmation! Let us know how you go, everything crossed for you x

Confession! Ok so I caved (I know I shouldn’t have) and I used a first response 7 days before AF is due and after I had drunk a pint of orange squash (so not best timing) ... but I think I can see a faint line! I’m trying to not get my hopes up - i feel like I could be seeing things, although DH can see it as well, or it could be a chemical pregnant. I’ve also read on Mumsnet of people getting false positives when testing so early!

Anyway I feel super guilty for doing a test so early especially when you ladies are staying so strong - - and now getting my hopes up maybe for no reason. Trying to stay chilled.

Just thought I would confess and confide with you lovely ladies.

May I join? 😄

AF is due on Thursday (16th), my luteal phase is short at 10 days. I think I'll try wait until Saturday 19th to test if my period hasn't arrived.

TTC our first, I've had a MMC at 10 weeks last year and then a mc (early natural) in October, so we're hoping for a 2020 baby...

Hi, AF due 19th for me so hoping I wait until then to test! Getting inpatient already, don't want to wish time away but just want to know! Hope you're all having a lovely weekend ♥️

Thank you ladies 😊 sorry about your negative @Mp0304 it's so disheartening isn't it 😣

@Dollywantsareallifedolly sorry to hear that. I guess the bright side is you know and can get started on next month early but definitely wouldn’t blame you for dunking people today!

@Dollywantsareallifedolly I'm so sorry to hear that. Wishing you lots of luck for the future xxx

Morning ladies, I'm afraid I will he checking out this morning. AF showed up almost a week early! Always such a pleasure to see her... NOT! Worst of days today too as at a Christening. I swear of someone says 'it will be you two next' I will dunk their head in the holy water ! Best of luck ladies

@Ktn35 when i conceived last July I had a day of really strong twinges in my left side, almost making me wince. This was on the day my period was due but it never came! So it could be a good sign.
1 week to go...

Hi @Ktn35 I feel like I have been getting cramps as well - but I would compare them to more like period pain. Having never been in labour I wouldn’t know what early labour pains are like! Also boobs feel very swollen and painful today. Fingers crossed these are all good signs for us!

Hi ladies. Your opinions please! Anyone else had this? I'm getting some really really strange cramps and twinges. I had them last night and now again this evening. Not like period pain at all. The closest thing I can compare it to is very very early labour contractions. Is this a good thing? 😬

Morning. I feel for all you ladies who have had miscarriages. One of my close friends has just been through a miscarriage and I can only imagine how hard it is. Sending love.

This week I have struggled sleeping. I normally sleep through no problem and this week I keep waking up at 4:30/5 am and can’t get back to sleep. Dont know if it’s just my brain on overdrive.... or me potentially symptom spotting again!

Morning ladies!

So I've also woken up feeling like it's just not my month this month! I've been ill the last week and have now read that ovulation can be delayed or even stopped because of this :(! Doesn't help I only have one tube so feel like it's half a chance every month anyways!

What's everyone doing to take their minds off things this weekend?

Good morning ladies! How is everyone feeling today? I woke up feeling convinced this is not my month for some reason - obviously hardly a conclusive test but that’s how today is feeling.

To those of you starting again after a miscarriage, I can only hope I would have your courage in your situation. Really hope this month is good to you x

@danielasummer aww thanks so much. I'm so sorry to hear you've been through a miscarriage too. It's a truly difficult time and I don't think it's something you can truly understand unless you've been through it.

Completely agree, we are really brave going through this again. We just need to keep positive - just because it's happened before doesn't necessarily mean it will happen again.

I wish you all the best for a bfp this month xx
