I mean I’m hoping AF stays away completely and we get bfps! We had a chemical last month but I’m feeling anxious and slightly more positive this time. So fingers crossed. Who else is in this boat?
Will probably poas at around 11dpo...

Hi ladies, can I join? I'm on 10DPO today, AF should be due in three days, but after four cycles of convincing myself I was pregnant (then heartbreak each BFN) I've decided to try and hold off until Sunday. Really struggling with keeping my mind of it today though, and looking for support as a number of us seem to be going through it around the same time. Wishing for happy results for everyone waiting to test 🍀

@Monday55 fingers crossed for you!

I'm going to do another either tonight or tomorrow morning to see

Waitingforbabypage · 03/09/2020 22:38

@Monday55 that's exciting!! Congrats!!

Monday55 · 03/09/2020 21:06

I tested today and had a squinter and it's 3 more days until AF. So either it's an evap line or the beginning of an early bfp. All we be confirmed within the next 48hrs 😩

ER20 · 02/09/2020 18:21

AF due on the 10th of September, but definitely feel weird, in bed for 9:30pm which is definitely not like me and back ache, and had slight bleeding once when wiping yesterday (implantation bleeding?!)

ShellMc2237 · 02/09/2020 17:21

The waiting is the worst. I also hate that every month I convince myself that it will be positive this month.

I caved at 10dpo and got a bfn 😫

Jessicatayla · 02/09/2020 17:00

I had a BFN today 13 dpo (around there, just a guestimate from my cycle tracker) AF due today but she hasn't arrived yet, if shes still not here by friday I might fork out for a ClearBlue digital 🤣 today is day 32 of my cycle (my last 3 cycles have been 30 days) I hate this waiting 😭😭

HeyDW96 · 02/09/2020 16:29

I've had some twinges and light cramping, don't know how much of this is just my cycle trying to get back to normal! That mixed with little to no cm and certainly not like ew makes me think I'm not going to be lucky this month!

Face has also broken out like a pizza since coming off the pill 🤦🏼‍♀️🤣

ShellMc2237 · 02/09/2020 09:57

@Lille4 sorry to hear that, but 9dpo is still early so you're not out yet!

I'm still trying to hold off until friday night/ Saturday but last night was soooooo tempted to test, managed to stop myself though haha

Lille4 · 02/09/2020 09:00

Morning everyone! I’m 9dpo today and I should know better but I still went ahead and tested. BFN 😭😭 I think I’ll just wait until AF us due or a day before.
I’m having the worst cramps and pinch like pains in my left side too which made me want to test.

How are you all holding up?

@GanderousGoose
I refuse to believe I'm out until af arrives.

GanderousGoose · 01/09/2020 18:13

@Waitingforbabypage am doing exactly the same!! It did work, for now anyway 😂. Every day feels like a huge length of time and I already feel like I'm definitely out as had so many negative tests, even though I know I've been testing too early Blush.

Waitingforbabypage · 01/09/2020 17:13

@GanderousGoose STOP TESTING!
Did it work?
I keep checking on all symptoms, googling different ovulation calculators to see if it's a different outcome 🤷🏼‍♀️

GanderousGoose · 01/09/2020 16:53

Hi - I'm 40, due 6 Sep. Need help!! Already testing like a crazy person and ofc they're all BFNs... Need someone to tell me not to test for a few days Grin.

RobinRose · 01/09/2020 16:49

@Jessicatayla fingers crossed 🤞!

ShellMc2237 · 01/09/2020 16:39

@Jessicatayla fingers crossed for you 🤞🏻

Jessicatayla · 01/09/2020 16:29

My AF due tomorrow 😭, have no tests at home soni cant tempt myself as tomorrow is also the end of my TWW but with my first I got a BFN on my TWW and got a BFP 4 days after 🥰

HeyDW96 · 01/09/2020 16:22

@ShellMc2237 @Waitingforbabypage

It's hard to get your head round the fact that for years I tried to prevent this from happening, now ttc for one month and getting impatient 🤦🏼‍♀️🤣

ShellMc2237 · 01/09/2020 16:12

@HeyDW96 @Waitingforbabypage omg this sounds just like me! Was on the pill for 13 years and tried so hard NOT to get pregnant as I was terrified, now nothing is happening! It doesn't help that when you are in school they drill into you if you have unprotected sex once you will get pregnant so you just think it will happen 🤦‍♀️

Waitingforbabypage · 01/09/2020 15:40

@HeyDW96 my other half is blissfully unaware of the craziness in my head, I'm quite glad to have this forum to see I am not alone.
I'm classed as geriatric at the ripe old age of 35, but we're having fun trying.
Also very luckily for us, we have a cracking sex life, so we're at it every other day anyway, so he didn't notice me slipping an extra session in during the suspected ovulation week 🤣
I am not a fan of not knowing what is going on though so I'm wishing time away like nobodies business to either get af here quicker or to see if I get a bfp.

Plm28 · 01/09/2020 15:17

Should be due the 6th. Good luck everyone.

HeyDW96 · 01/09/2020 15:12

@Waitingforbabypage

It's crazy isn't it! My partner is very relaxed about it, as should I be just now as I'm still young, although he is a bit older than me. Never tried before and hoping to just enjoy trying but can see this is going to turn into a cycle obsessing until I get my period every month!

Waitingforbabypage · 01/09/2020 15:03

@HeyDW96 oh man I know how you feel!! We put ourselves through so much trying not to get pregnant but when we actually want it, it feels impossible.
I have 2 children, they were both (happy) accidents while I was on the pill, but I can feel that trying to get number 3 in the bag isn't going to be an easy ride.

HeyDW96 · 01/09/2020 14:55

Can I join?🙋🏼‍♀️

I just came off the pill 3 weeks ago after 8 years on it! I was using OPK’s to see if I was actually going to ovulate and I don’t appear to have done although I don’t honestly know how long my cycle will be. Until I started looking at forums I was genuinely extremely naive and can’t believe I spent so long trying not to have babies when I now realise how short a time frame you have each month to conceive! Trying to be casual about it and not worry or obsess but I feel like it’s taking over already! 4 of my friends have had babies this year and I feel like I’m going to be the one that isn’t able to somehow!

Wishing you all lots of luck x

Longestride25 · 01/09/2020 14:50

Due on the 13th of September but I’m really not hopeful !!😂
I guessed when I was ovulating and had sex twice in that guessing period 🤣 but worth a shot !
