Anyone else 3dpo? When do you suggest the best time to test is? I have some frer’s and some ic’s and I honestly think I won’t be able to get through the weekend without testing 😫🤣

Well done for staying strong @Imo123! It’s so hard when you have a cupboard full of ic’s 😫

Thanks angel, trying hard to stay positive! Does help having you ladies to speak to and offload onto 😂

I was SO tempted to test this morning but managed to hold off until tomorrow 😬 so nervous!

@extrababydust123 don't rule yourself out just yet, it's probably too early to detect anything at the moment! Positive thinking 🙏🏼

@lena21 well done for having the willpower not to test 🤣

All of those symptoms could easily be early pregnancy symptoms as well so don’t rule anything out yet! I don’t really have any symptoms anymore, really ruling myself out after this mornings test ☹️😂

@extrababydust123 - yep too early... kudos for trying, I simply took out a test from a box, stared at it for a min and put it back 😂

My PMS symptoms are getting worse, DH started talking about work last night, I just snapped at him 🙊. Woke up in the middle of night with sore boobs... all AF symptoms..

@ohhisammi absolutely although I can’t help but feel a little disheartened, don’t help myself so I 😂 I am going to wait until Monday now, I really hope we have lots of sticky BFP’s 🤞🏽

@extrababydust123 oh heck 😂
Not in that 7% today 😂
At least you know the odds were low.

@lena21 @ohhisammi don’t recommend testing at 7dpo guys, don’t think I’ve ever seen a more negative stick 🥴🤣

And hi @Veronika13 that’s fab, now you enter the dreaded TWW 😂 I am so broody at the moment too, it doesn’t help with all of the pregnancy announcements that seem to be happening, I want that to be me 😫 fingers crossed this is your month ❤️

I'll join although My ovulation day is today 24th. Dtd 20, 21, 22, 23.
I had ovaries pain yesterday so think my ovulation peaked then. Glad I covered all bases.
Now we wait , cycle 2 and meeting my best friend's newborn today - broodiness overload! 😁
Anyone else feel like they can't look at babies without longing/wanting to cry from broodiness haha?

@lena21 @ohhisammi you see it as a deterrent and that only 7.4% would test positive at 7dpo and I see it as I could be the lucky 7.4% to test positive so early 🤣🤣 someone stop me

OP posts:
ohhisammi · 23/04/2021 21:02

Yeah I have it bookmarked 😂 to talk myself out of testing 😂
It's a handy thing to see ♥️
Glad you girls find it useful too

lena21 · 23/04/2021 20:55

@ohhisammi - quite an informative site, 7 dpo positive rate is just 7.4%, definitely not testing tomorrow 😂

extrababydust123 · 23/04/2021 20:55

Oo I've just has a little look! I think I’m best off testing Monday going by that, fingers crossed I can hold out until then @ohhisammi 🤞🏽🤣

I really hope so @lena21, hopefully this month is our month 💖

ohhisammi · 23/04/2021 20:51

@extrababydust123 I believe you can get a faint positive at 8dpo earliest (watching fertility Dr Videos) but it's less likely.
This site is good if you haven't seen it ...

Good luck when testing everyone! Hopefully get some lovely BFP’s next week ❤️

I’m 6dpo and have had bad cramping for a couple of days, also been waking up really hot several times for the past couple of nights and feel like I’ve been extra hungry today.. But that’s it, I’m probably imagining it as implantation would’ve only just happened, but I am excited to test and really don’t think I’ll make it through the weekend.. I wonder how early it is possible to get a faint positive 🤨

Imo123 · 23/04/2021 10:28

My frer arrived yesterday, I'm going to try and hold out until Sunday when I'll be 9dpo only because we're seeing friends on Saturday and I don't want to be sad if the result isn't what we want! I've had absolutely no symptoms though so not feeling positive ☹️

This is supposed to be our last cycle trying (5) until after we get married, but I'm hoping I can squeeze another cycle out of my partner haha! 🙏🏼

Emsjourney · 23/04/2021 10:21

If I ovulated then I think I'm 7dpo. No symptoms at all. I've noticed that my normal pms symptoms are the same as when I was pregnant with my first 5 years ago. I was going to test Sunday so would be 9dpo but I don't want to go through the upset if not seeing anything 😢 I'm not holding out much hope. Next month will be cycle 8 😫 x

lena21 · 23/04/2021 10:19

I am thinking to hold off until next Thursday... although very tempting 🙃.. Just ordered Frer's from Amazon which won't be arriving until 5th May ...

felt better yesterday.. however can't even get myself to get out of bed today 😓

Let us know how you get on tomorrow 🤗🤞🌈

ohhisammi · 23/04/2021 10:16

@extrababydust123
I'm holding out till Monday too 🤞🏼♥️

Anyone having any signs ?

Maybe TMI but I've got loads of watery CM and usually at this time in my cycle things are starting to dry up 😬🤞🏼

Hey @November4 of course! Fingers crossed for you then if you usually conceive 1st or 2nd cycle 🥰 I’m 5dpo so hopefully will be properly testing in around a week, but can’t promise I won’t test at the weekend 🥴🤣

I’m feeling okay, trying not to symptom spot but did have a really vivid pregnancy dream last night, and have had cramps since around 3dpo and that’s about it I think.. wish the TWW would go faster ☹️

November4 · 22/04/2021 10:41

Hi girls, jumping in if that's OK? I'm 4dpo, 2nd cycle. I'm hoping to wait another week before I start testing, or at least that's what I'm telling myself. 🙈 I'll likely cave and test a few days earlier. I already have 4 kids so this will be our last and final baby. I conceived either on my first or second cycle with the others so I'm super hopeful this month. 🤞🏼 how are you all feeling? I've been cramping since ovulation which I'm sure isn't a sign of anything but I can't help but keep my hope up!

Katiekattty · 22/04/2021 09:50

@extrababydust123 I’m planning to test on Saturday. I put my dates in the frer website and it said I could test Saturday. Although if I can be disciplined enough I might wait until Sunday.
