Testing this week/tww 18th- 26th October

Hi ladies! I'm due AF on Friday, I've got lots of symptoms but negative tests each morning so far (internet cheapies) I'm praying it's just too early still!
Good luck everyone!! Xoxo

Thanks @madeleine85 :) fingers crossed for you too. What is the progesterone test that you mentioned? I haven’t heard of that before

@Moonshine160 that sounds like a great sign!! fingers crossed for you :)

This is torture isn’t it. Today I am so so crampy in my lower back and when I just wiped I had a streak of pinky brown blood. I’m sure it’s too early to be AF, I’ve never had a cycle this short. I’m 9DPO which is the most common day for implantation so I have everything crossed it could be that.

@Moonshine160 I'm 1-2 days behind you but in the same boat. Caved and tested this morning. I had lower back/stomach cramps all night, and feel sick, but that is probably bc I didn't sleep thinking about this. After like an hour the test is negative but looks like there is the feintest of lines/its likely just a shadow/the light and i'm seeing things that aren't there. I also did the progesterone test and it's positive, but said it is low level, and if it is falling then its probably not happening this month so idk. I hate this 2 week wait so much and this is just month 1. Hope yours comes to BFP though in a few days :)

I caved too. And I’m also 8DPO.
It wasn’t first morning wee and it was really diluted because I’ve been drinking throughout the morning but I wish I hadn’t tested because now I feel sad and like it’s not going to happen this month. Here’s the test, something I think I can see a bit of a shadow then other times nothing.

Hi everyone ! This is our first cycle of ttc #1 … have been doing the easy @ home ovulation tests and dtd plenty during our fertile window so fingers crossed! Think I am sitting at 4-5 dpo right now and plan to test from 9-10dpo (this weekend).

I am quite tender across my pelvis and very windy (tmi!) but apart from that nothing in terms of symptoms as of yet.

This week is going to drag in!

Hi Ladies! I am so glad I found this group, thank you mamas. My husband and I just decided to try for our second child (first was an accident, took 4 months no pill). I came off birth control 4 weeks ago and freaked out after researching thinking it would take forever to conceive (i'm 36, he is 39). I out of the blue really wanted sex despite our natural contraception (our 21 month old child) and it turned out that was because I ovulated. I took LH test the day after sex and it was strongly positive (very long cycle though). I took a PDT test today (6 DPO) to make sure and there is progestreone so it definitely happened. I have had intense stomach and back cramps from ovulation day which just stopped today though still a bit tender. My uterus felt heavy. I've been needing to pee constantly until today, and i was exhausted at the weekend. Basically most of my symptoms are fading today. Last night and today though (DPO6) i've been feeling low level nautious (I had extreme morning sickness last time). I am sure that I am reading too much into this, and it would be so strange to get pregnant on shot 1, and without really trying, while being older and newly off the pill, but work is quiet and i've been low level obsessing about this. I'm a Brit living in the USA and we have PDG tests. I've read that as long as PDG stays high until HCG kicks in and can be detected that you are probably pregnant, and if PDG drops after the next 2 days you are not, and it is unlikely that HCG will show a BFP. So I guess i'll keep testing PDG until a pregnancy test shows one way or the other starting the end of this week. Best of luck mums. This is TOUGH, you're all strong ladies!

Remind me how many dpo you are @Peonies94? Xx

@Peonies94 that sounds like you covered all basis! We didn’t DTD as much as I’d have liked around O this month so I’m not holding out much hope at all .. a bit like what @Decaffe said just waiting for AF to arrive and not symptom spotting xx

I don't even know if we hit ovulation, my cycles aren't regular they vary from 26 days to 35 days, but flo is saying I'm due AF 27th ,I just go on symptoms of ovulation iv not tried doing the ovulation tests yet, just feeling very impatient maybe because it's our 1st cycle 😕

Wishing you all BFPS this week! I’m 9DPO , haven’t tested yet but have sore boobs today which is a usual PMS sign for me so not sure whether to test or wait for AF 🥲

Hi, I'm around 6dpo... I think, according to the flo app. Period is due 27th October (my birthday 🙈) this is our 1st month ttc baby no.3. Very sore breasts and tiredness but not sure if its all in my head, going to try and hold off until at least Friday to test. 🤞 for everyone.

To add, because I really don’t feel I’m in with a chance this month, I am ignoring all symptom spotting and attempts at analysing CM etc! In a way I think I am just waiting for AF to arrive and hope that my ovulation gets back to normal in my next cycle.

Hello! 👋🏻

I am currently 4DPO and will be testing in all likelihood from 9DPO on Saturday.

However, not holding out much hope this cycle; I had a chemical last month, followed by an unexpectedly early ovulation on CD11. As I was caught off guard somewhat, we didn’t DTD as much as I had hoped. We only managed it twice: the day before ovulation and two days before ovulation.

Hi all, I'm 6dpo today. No symptoms at all. Testing on either Sunday or Monday. I'm pretty busy atm so thankfully time seems to be flying this TWW. I bet it slows right down for me by Weds though!

I have some cheapies in the cupboard @Peonies94 so probably end up caving in beforehand! I don’t have a lot of hope this month though xx
