TWW Buddies..

What is this???? Took 4 FRERs yesterday 9dpo, ALL negative.

I'm away off to work 25 hours this weekend in A&E... going to be an utter misery and it's an hour commute either end... took one more test this morning, and this- can't believe it. This is real right?

10dpo

Hi can I join please I’m 6 dpo today and this ttw is going so slowly while I’m off work!
I think AF is due on the 6th or 7th but I need to test on the 5th as I’m going to a spa. This is my first cycle trying properly, I had my first full cycle in November after a miscarriage in September. I have a daughter who has just turned 4 and am worried about the sibling gap getting much bigger!

@Pitstop1986 oh noooo!! Just think - all the money spent will be worth it when you get that positive!!!

@MrsL22 unfortunately where I live even prime orders take a lot longer than usual to get delivered. It's rubbish if you need anything in a hurry 😔

@Pitstop1986 I got mine from amazon! Amazon prime next day delivery :)

Just been scrolling through eBay having a look at cheap pregnancy test strips. I thought that maybe I could buy a few and have them to use for early testing... If they're cheap, you don't mind wasting them!

The earliest delivery date for them is the 6th January! I'm due AF on the 7th, so not really worth it!

I might sneak to the shop and buy a couple. The only problem is that they're so expensive! I have a feeling I'm not going to last until I'm late, so I'm going to need something for next Wednesday/Thursday when curiosity gets the better of me!

I had a CP at 5 weeks in November 😢 made me want it even more but I know my chances are lower now.

@MrsL22 will keep my fingers crossed for you! I love reading all the success stories on here.

This is only my first cycle since a loss in November so I’m mostly relieved that my app said I had a peak and should have ovulated 🤞 I know that it’s not likely to happen on the first try since (especially as it took 6 cycles before) but I can’t help but hope.

@Downtherabbithole83 I’ve had back and pelvic pain but like you say it’s way too early for anything. Probably all phantom and no -existent 🫣 just praying so hard for this to be my month.

@MrsL22 like you I was hoping to wait until Wednesday or Thursday but realistically if I make it to Tuesday it’ll be a miracle.

I haven’t had any symptoms other than some lower back pain yesterday and this morning. It felt like period pain but could easily be from spending hours bent over doing Lego with the children over Xmas… trying not to read into it especially as it’s really too early for anything to be happening.

@pennysays this is what I’m always worried about! Please don’t be disheartened - 9dpo is still early. You may have ovulated later than expected. Retest in a couple of days. I have everything crossed for you 🤞🏼

@Downtherabbithole83 keep me updated! I’m hoping to wait until Wednesday (10dpo) but think I’ll be itching by Monday (8dpo).
Something’s telling me not to get my hopes up.
But then I’ve also had more CM than usual after ovulation. Nightmare for symptom spotting 🙈

When do you plan on testing?

I’m an idiot. 9dpo and I used a frer and got a bfn.
which I new would happen.
so why did I do it?
argh.
also why do I think this time will be different from the past two years?
argh.

@MrsL22 I’m also 5dpo (possibly 6… depending on how quickly I ovulated after my peak) and have done exactly the same as you: big box of cheapies ready for when I can’t hold out anymore and give in to the need to test early!

How long do you think you’ll manage to wait?

@ScotsBaby2 😂 well at least you’ve got plenty to get a reliable test!

I have 4 IC and about 3 million FRER as I put them on spend and save on Amazon then forgot to cancel.

@Livingonhope sorry to hear that! New year, new month, new possibilities. I believe 2023 will be your year 💕

@ScotsBaby2 I feel your pain. I’ve just bought a box of 30 cheapies for this reason. I also have a cupboard full of FRER and CB early - just can’t help myself 😂🙈

That's me out of the game as of today .....now the wait to next month 😫

Yeah I do but last cycle was 55 days long and I tested about 15 times 😂 so I need to hold off this time!!

@ScotsBaby2 do you have any early response tests? I’m 5dpo and already can’t wait to test - don’t know how you’ve managed to hold yourself back 🤣🤞🏼

I'm 8DPO. AF is due in 7 days. Testing meat to commence on 6th January. I don't think I'll manage to wait that long. That would be cycle day 36 it my cycles have been all over the place.

Sending hugs @LAgeDeRaisin I know how disheartening the BFNs are. You're still very early on though, still time yet

Thanks @MrsL22
It's so disheartening

@Pitstop1986 I’m 5dpo too and doing anything to keep myself busy 😂

I have a strange feeling it’s not my month but I’m so desperate to try and keep positive!

@LAgeDeRaisin its still early days 9dpo - test again in a couple of day. Praying for you 🙏🏼

9DPO and another BFN on FRER for me 😭
