Is anyone testing around 11th July

Morning everyone,

Of course it's not the 2ww without some stupidly early testing and then staring at it all day at 8dpo!

Convinced I can see something, but that also might be because I'm absolutely mad🤪

Don't worry, I know how ridiculous it is testing this early, you don't have to tell me! Either way I'm going to stare at it until I take another one hahaha xx

Sorry, also meant to say good luck to everyone!

I turned 36 a couple of months ago too. Second cycle TTC. We have a very nearly 15 month old but this was the soonest we could try due to childcare costs, plus had a hard birth and body needed time to recover. Last month was a complete fail due to norovirus 🤮. Am 13 DPO and spotting slightly/extra tired. Allowing myself to dream for now because I'm never really early and I had a gut feeling. Can't remember any spotting the first time though. It's so hard resisting testing!!

Sending everyone a massive hug! 🤞🏻For the tests. I don’t have the willpower to not test early, always have and it’s worse because it’s false hope of it being too early so there still miiight be a chance!

I’m behind a lot of of you - solid smiley yesterday (CD14) DTD CD10,12,13,14. I reeeally wanted to this morning but other half had to go to work early and wasn’t feeling up to it. Can’t help but shake the utter irrational feeling of this morning could have been THE chance. Especially when I have a real dull ache this morning, obsessively thinking “now I’m ovulating, yesterday morning was too far away”

I promise I’m not always this much of an over thinker… TTC sends me loopy! 🤯

@GingerbreadTM @CoopeyMum my fingers are crossed that you both get BFP this month but if you don't, and you haven't already, look into a CoQ10 supplement xx

I've not tested again, I'm quite impressed with myself for this level of willpower, when I had my chemical I couldn't stop myself from keep testing multiple times a day. I think I knew when I had my chemical that I was pregnant and just wanted proof/a darker line. But then this time I don't feel like I am at all so don't see the point

Af due tomorrow according to flo but I think it might be another 2 days yet. If she doesn't turn up then I'll do another test

Make the most of that trip away 🙌🏼
I planned my holiday over my fertile week - we literally spent the week relaxing and didn't talk about it once but DTD loads.
But now I'm home AF due on Friday, recovering from covid and a BFN this morning - I'm an emotional wreck.
It just feels so lonely being in this position and watching younger siblings and friends with it all in place is bloody hard xx

Your not joking @GingerbreadTM its utterly devastating. I'm going away this week, when we get back, I'm biting the bullet for a gyne referral I think x

@CoopeyMum 💜💜💜💜
Big hugs 🤗
Honestly it's so hard to keep the chin above water isn't it. I'm fed up listening to people telling me you're still young, plenty of time yet bla bla bla
It's been a dream my whole life to be a mummy and it's getting harder each cycle that passes xx

I'm 37 this week & no biological children of my own. Never even so much as a sniff of a chemical pregnancy.

I think I mentioned a few days ago, us on this group are all of a similar age and situation, it's our last chance saloon 😔

I'm 36 next week and I have had this worry recently!! You will be fine just like me - we've got this 💪🏼xx

I'm currently sitting with some snacks watching love island, feet up and a yummy hot chocolate in hand 🤣🤣
I'm practicing self care tonight (I'd love a wine though 🤣🙈)xx

I shouldn’t be worrying as I have happy healthy children but this is probably our last chance as I turn 36 in a couple of weeks x

I feel your pain @Mum2be86 this is my 15th cycle!!!!

But we live in hope xxx

I’m having a cheeky wine tonight, although I have this awful feeling it’s not worked for us this time, don’t know why but I just do 😢 (could just be because of the wait but could be because of the miscarriage that I had not that long ago)

hoping you all get that BFP xx

@CoopeyMum hahaha, thank you, I certainly hope so x fingers crossed for all of us 🥰

Go for the wine, why not? It might be your last chance!

Welcome to the board xx

Hi Ladies,

Can I jump on board please?? ☺️

AF due July 13th so planning to test on the 11th.

No children yet, I miscarried a twin pregnancy June 2020 at about week 10, and it's taken literally until now for my cycles to return to normal so this is the first cycle we've started trying again. We are using SMEP.

What are everyone's thoughts on a cheeky glass of vino during the TWW? 🤭🤭🤭

@Rainbowbaby13 i think I’m going to test tomorrow too, I know it’s too early, but don’t think I can resist the urge, just in case.
I do usually start to spot brown discharge around 4 days before AF, so ill take any lack of spotting as a good sign.
ive been a bit crampy today, which means nothing really as could just be usual pms, either way, I suppose I’ll find out this week one way or another.

@Mannymoomin thank you for your kind words 💜
I think if I didn't have covid and was at work I wouldn't have as much time to sit and think about things.
I am still holding on to hope that I will still get my BFP this month 🤞🏼🤞🏼
I've also saw and heard of enough pregnancy announcements to last me a life time over the past week too, I'm really sensitive sally aren't I??lol

I have noticed creamy/ewcm this afternoon normally I don't show any of this 4days before AF so 🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼

Anyone else had the urge to test today??xx

Well… as far as symptom spotting going.. have had some acid reflux today. Not normal for me.
the spots and headaches however, very much normal.
CM has pretty much dried up now.
anyway, I have the clear blue digital OPK but missed my surge using it this month due to it being first cycle ttc. Don’t judge 🙈 but my urge to POAS defeated me so I thought I’d see what it says, expecting a blank o. Only I got a flashing smiley, probably means nothing I have no idea, but thought I’d put it out there for anyone else who finds themselves in the same situation.

im going to hurry off to Google flashing smiley at 7dpo 😂

Trying so hard not to symptom spot 🫣 6dpo today, felt so tired yesterday and slight cramps yesterday & today, but that could be my lactose intolerance acting up again 😂 had an odd pain by my left hip for a few seconds yesterday too, so who knows 🤷🏻‍♀️🤞🏻🙏🏻

@GingerbreadTM sending you a big hug, sorry to hear you’ve had such a rough time.
it’s so easy to look for the negative things in life that seeing the good gets clouded, although being upset isn’t a bad thing, it’s sometimes good to just let it all out
it may just be to early for you yet and you arnt out until the witch arrives, so I’ll be keeping my fx for you.

Hi @Mannymoomin I am not 100% sure what day I am but I am guessing 11/12 DPO I could be more or less.
As I was on holidays I didn't really look out for ewcm (I was in the pool loads anyway so maybe wouldn't have noticed it the same)
Also with catching covid it probably has messed my cycle up too 😢

I was really confident for this month too, and because my chemical was July last year I've now come past what would've been my due date and now potentially the date of my chemical. I am so upset today xx
