Anyone else due to test around 30th June/1st July?

I’m now 3dpo and trying to feel positive. My OPK peak times up with when I had EWCM and I’m sure I had some ovulation pain on Thursday. I’ve never realised it before now but I nearly always have a pain for a few hours in between AF’s so guess I nearly always have it but never paid any attention to what is was or why. Even though the timings all line up I still have a fear that I ovulated much later and missed dtd at the right time. I know it’s irrational 😂

Morning!

I know it sounds strange, but every month for the past 6 months my boobs have hurt from around 5/6DPO. I can’t feel anything and they aren’t hurting, but that may just be wishful thinking 😂 I’m going to try and take my mind off it this weekend. I’m still hoping to hold off testing until next Friday, but may cave if you ladies start testing mid-week!

Angie2018 · 24/06/2022 08:28

@vitahelp heyyy! Sometimes lack of symptoms is a good sign. At this point until about 8dpo progesterone is doing exactly the same thing every month regardless of TTC, so it's unlikely anything is solely pregnancy related anyway. I didn't get symptoms until 10dpo and that was implantation which of course is different to a normal month.

I feel positive too. 3dpo today! Roll on next week 🤣🤣 without wishing the weekend away like you say xx

vitahelp · 24/06/2022 08:24

Morning ladies, hope you’re all feeling ok and looking forward to weekend. I feel like I’m already wishing the weekend away, but will try and enjoy it.
I’m 6dpo today and no symptoms other than restless night but I put that down to the heat. Actually feel quite good so not feeling too optimistic but I know it’s early days yet..

Angie2018 · 23/06/2022 22:25

@Cdoc oh that's good so you haven't missed it!!

Ah yeah me too, whilst I can forget about TTC every month atleast I feel like I have a load of lovely ladies that know how it feels in the TWW 💜

Cdoc · 23/06/2022 21:41

@allgoodthings84 that’s what I’m thinking I wouldn’t want to risk it! I’m more than happy to cancel it but I’ve been waiting a while so would feel extra gutted if I cancelled and then AF arrived anyway.
@Angie2018 i do roughly! I had my static smiley on clear blue digital last Wednesday, and cheapies were faint again by Thursday afternoon so pretty sure I had a surge Wednesday night into Thursday. Of course I will keep you posted, this chat is keeping me going to be honest and having people in the same wait!
Do you have any nice weekend plans to take your mind off it?

Sorry you feel like that @CinderellaFant 😔 we’re not out until AF arrives! Keeping everything crossed for you 🤞🏼

Angie2018 · 23/06/2022 20:46

@CinderellaFant yeah I feel you! I do this to myself too. I mean I am 2dpo and already worry 🙈

Angie2018 · 23/06/2022 20:46

@Cdoc do you know when you ovulated?

Oh I hope you get your BFP, please keep us posted!!

CinderellaFant · 23/06/2022 20:45

@Angie2018 no particular reason, just feeling sorry for myself lol.

No symptoms here at all today!

Angie2018 · 23/06/2022 20:44

allgoodthings84 · 23/06/2022 20:05

@Angie2018 definitely rather AF come that a bfn. If I get a bfn now (which is likely either way) then I’ll be gutted but remind myself it’s early then get gutted all over again if AF arrives. At least if I wait I’ll only get disappointed once

Yeah I totally follow your logic!! I do totally agree. I won't test unless I have real suspicions something is up

allgoodthings84 · 23/06/2022 20:30

@Cdoc definitely worth you testing then if you can’t have the appointment if pregnant. I bet you would have at least a faint positive by then

no proper symptoms here. I have been very bloated today and yesterday but only in the day times it’s nearly gone in the evenings. I don’t think it’s a pregnancy symptom though as occasionally (few times a year) I do get a bit bloated for a short time for no apparent reason

OP posts:
Cdoc · 23/06/2022 20:11

I also think I’m going to test on Tuesday or Wednesday! I have a skincare appointment on Wednesday that I definitely shouldn’t have if pregnant, so I feel like I need to know at least by Wednesday! Flo is telling me AF should be due next Saturday but the mmc was already 30 days ago so to be honest I have no idea when it’s due.

I can’t believe we’re all testing around the same time too!
Anyone noticing any symptoms?

Another day down girls 😊🤞🏼

@allgoodthings84 I mean it might do... some people do get BFPs at 7dpo, but technically you could test from tomorrow but I totally get not wanting to be hit with a BFN as it's soul destroying 😩

I want next week to be here for sure! I just want to know!

I keep reading on SMEP success stories 🙈🙈

Angie2018 · 23/06/2022 19:37

@CinderellaFant oh no 😞 any reason in particular?? Stay positive!! If you've had unprotected sex over your fertile window there is always a chance x

I’m excited for everyone for next week. Not fir myself though. I’ve now gone from wishing the time away to not wanting it to arrive as don’t want AF to arrive so now wanting it to drag so I can wallow in the am I aren’t i 😂. I even thought for 5 seconds earlier just take a test now so then you can stop wondering 🤣 would be mad at 7dpo and wouldn’t tell me anything either way

CinderellaFant · 23/06/2022 19:04

@Angie2018 not feeling very hopeful at the minute ☹️

Angie2018 · 23/06/2022 18:33

CinderellaFant · 23/06/2022 18:06

I think I'm going to test on Wednesday. AF is due on Friday.

Ah keep us posted! Hoping for loads of positive results on this thread x

Angie2018 · 23/06/2022 17:40

@allgoodthings84 me too! Although I will only be 10dpo! I won't test if I know AF is coming though & I will know by then for sure

@OCM19 hopefully busy with lots of bfp!

who's testing first? I won’t be until Saturday morning (unless AF arrives first) as want to wait until day after AF is due which is Thursday or Friday. From the date I likely ovulated I think I should be sue it Thursday but I really don’t want to see a negative test so rather wait for AF to 100% be late first

Angie2018 · 23/06/2022 17:32

@OCM19 @allgoodthings84 it's hard to not be disappointed!! I was SO upset after getting AF on cycle for I decided not to give a shit, thought sod it, only did the deed 5 days before ovulation, the day of and one day after. Went on holiday, drank alcohol and ate shit... was so stressed, convinced myself I was out that month as I felt nothing, convinced myself it's never going to happen. Then i was pregnant and had a flipping chemical. So this month I am so bloody invested it will be really tough, and technically we are hitting the 6 month mark even though we can't really count cycles 3&4 as we had Covid extremely bad. But still. I really hope we all get our positive results end of next week. Can't wait to symptom spot next week too. X

OCM19 · 23/06/2022 17:26

@allgoodthings84 its so hard not to be disappointed, I really struggled last cycle.

I feel quite constipated today but that’s probably totally unrelated…and TMI 🤦‍♀️

roll on the end of next week, I can’t believe we’re all testing at the same time, this thread will be so busy!

It’s going to be hard not to feel sad if it’s not my month but I’ve had a word with myself and will allow myself to feel a bit down about it but I’m not going to dwell on it just start trying again in August. One month out won’t be the end of the world and I keep reminding myself it’s unlikely to happen this first cycle trying

@OCM19 It's easy to worry about not feeling any symptoms, but like you said it's way too early for us.
It doesn't help when I look back at data I recorded when I got pregnant with DD as I had a bad cold in the 2WW then so had loads of symptoms - DH had it too so I knew it wasn't pregnancy related. Yet somehow I still compare the two and worry that I feel fine during this 2WW therefore I can't be pregnant this time. So silly..
