TTC October baby 🍁🎃👻

"I'm desperate to pee on something" 🤣🤣 absolutely cracked me up.
So 9dpo today, exhausted, absolutely freaking starving (I'd eaten my lunch, breakfast and snacks at work by 11.30... usually I'd not want anything at all until around then), feeling like I've been smashed in the boobs with a bloody baseball bat! Trying to convince myself I'm not going to test until Tuesday... so probably tomorrow morning 🤣🤦🏻‍♀️

@Jealousofchiliheeler I think we're all more than slightly crazy at this point in the tww, sounds like your symptoms are a good reason to be hopeful and keep testing 🤞
I'm meant to be doing park run with a friend tomorrow and think it'll be awful running again with these heavy sore boobs but going to try. I want to keep busy as normal 😕

@Natty83 I cracked already and tested today at 8dpo because I felt nauseous when I woke up!! Both DH and I think there's a vvfl on a cheapie then a FRER but trying not to be too hopeful yet. Will test for next few mornings and hope it gets clearer! Can just about see it today in real life but it's not really showing in photos, I'd be embarrassed to share it here!
So much for me not testing until 10dpo!

@Hummusanddipdip how is the TWW for you? Sending Baby Dust x

@Hankthehonk @JD90 @Jealousofchiliheeler hope I've tagged all the right people, I'm 8 dpo too and scaling the walls desperate to pee on something 😂 I'm the same every month it's ridiculous. When are you each testing/testing again?

@Hankthehonk I cracked and tested today at 9dpo! After I made a big thing about not wanting to test early!
BFN at the moment, but I'm still having symptoms. I'm still really bloated, so much so that I am struggling to sleep at night because it's really uncomfortable. Then still very fatigued but don't know if that's because I'm not sleeping! I feel like I'm either coming down with something or am pregnant, or it's really prolonged and severe PMS. Or maybe I'm just going slightly crazy!

@Hankthehonk ooh that's sounding promising, I've got my fingers well and truly crossed.

I'm trying not to get my hopes up and look on the negative side so I'm not too disappointed - but it's easier said than done.

I thought I had positive symptoms last month and drove myself mad spotting 🤣

Keep us updated!

@chezvic glad I'm not the only one symptom spotting like crazy! I think it's early to rule yourself out if you're only 6dpo, long way to go yet :)

I'm 8dpo today and have had sore boobs and fatigue all week. Woke up feeling nauseous this morning and even though I had told myself I wouldn't test until at least Sunday, I did a cheapie test. Both DH and I thought we could see a vvfl so did a frer and the line looks a bit clearer (though still vf). I can see it much better in real life than in photos.
Trying not to get too hopeful yet, I'll test again for the next few mornings 🤞

Hi been lurking and reading but not commented on this thread yet. Had such an odd cycle in Jan - started my AF about 6 days early but it was on and off in its starting so had no idea when I was due to ovulate. ANYWAY... we DTD every other day from end of AF until Sat evening just gone. However due to pain I had on Sunday morning I think that was the day I ovulated. Couldn't DTD that day as DH was on night shift.
Had very weird symptoms this past week but I'm definitely symptom spotting 🤣- had bouts of nausea, back ache, tummy cramps, night Sweats, really vivid dreams etc. But now feel AF is due to arrive as sore boobs have come and getting little tummy niggles.
If I'm right on O date I'm 6dpo today so would be due AF next Fri and could test Sat - DH bday!

Would say I'm out though with how I'm feeling but there's always that crumb of hope.
I'm 44 on Sunday and DD will be 10 on Sunday too, so I'm aware I could have left it too late!
Sorry for the essay 😅

I'm 8dpo today, trying not to symptom spot but my bbt jumped up again this morning exactly the same as it did with my last pregnancy (which unfortunately ended in a ruptured ectopic) so this is technically cycle 2 since we've passed the recommended waiting time afterwards. Though I have also noticed a total lack of my normal pms symptoms (get suuuuper ragey, cramping, nausea and super sore boobs for a week before) other than the sore boobs. So who knows, will just keep monitoring temp (and crossing my fingers it stays up, though knowing my luck I'm probably about to come down with something 🤣) and wait until probably Tuesday morning maybe Wednesday to do a test.

@LuckyYou13 DD is 18 months. I ideally would wait till she was 2 to start trying but it took us a year last time to fall pregnant so didn’t want to put off too long.

Still no sign of AF so 3 days late apart from a single like pink spot on day 1. Test is negative but having pregnancy symptoms. No idea what is going on. Any ideas?

@buckingmad 4dpo over here and due date would be around 29th Oct if I get my bfp this cycle. I don't want to test early so I need to hold off testing until 19th 🙈 as if 🤣. Hoping to get some signs of implantation in a few days 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻 Also TTC #2 (though will be my 3rd pregnancy) how old is your DC1? I have DS who is 2 1/2 ❤.

2dpo today, anyone with me?

Think I’m out ladies! Had my usual pre-AF spotting today! Think I might have ovulated a day or so earlier than I thought.

On to next month!

Thank you i know this can be the case. With my daughter at 15dpo my test was a squinter. I sent it to my friend she said negative. So I've not idea why at 10dpo I'm stressing about it. But I do. I think cause I see so many early positives online it plays on your mind

Anyway I'll know in a few days anyway. Period is due Sunday so not too much longer to wait
And if my period comes then it is what it is

@2021lady sorry you're feeling upset, it sounds like it's been really tough. I don't want you to feel like I'm offering false hope, but at the same time I've never had an early positive from a blue dye test (in fact never had an early positive). These boards can be really supportive but it's easy to also think that it's normal to get a positive at 10dpo when that's not necessarily the case. Anyway, stay strong and sending you a big hug!

10dpo and stark negative here.
Every month I say I won't test early I won't sympom spot yet I always do
I've lost hope now. I've got 1 more cycle of fertility meds left but after that I think I'm done
2 years of this heartache now :(

@Jealousofchiliheeler Ah that's all complicated! Life eh. I've also got a night out with friends on Saturday and there's no way I could get away with not drinking so I'm hoping to have a couple of genuine gins and have lemonade masquerading as gin for most of the night. I'm trying to cut down drinking just because of ttc anyway but not telling most people about that, just two pals neither of whom will be there this weekend!
Sorry your in laws put a dampener on your announcement last time, you should test when you want to. The not drinking thing is too big a giveaway for me as well!
I think I'll be testing on Sunday, to be honest, can't see myself waiting much longer than that.

@Hankthehonk honestly I'm not sure, we have a friend coming to stay overnight at the weekend, part of me is desperate to do a test by then but it will still be early, she'll know something's up if I don't have a glass of wine, so almost wonder if I shouldn't test so I can have a (small) glass and plead ignorance, is that bad?!
I also have my MiL staying start of next week, I don't think I want to know before then, in my last pregnancy she and my SiL really pissed me off by speculating that I was pregnant (because I wasn't drinking) before we were ready to share the news and then when we told them she said "oh I already knew" which was really deflating because she was the first person we told.
Anyhoo, my Flo app is telling me I should test in 9 days, which is WAY too long for me to hold out, by my calculations AF is due next Wednesday, so I think I'll definitely be testing by then!

Hello 8dpo and like @GingerJanee I think i have the faintest line. Does anyone know how you do that thing that shows like the negative of the picture? It sometimes shows the line clearer? The camera is NOT picking it up at all. 😂

@Jealousofchiliheeler My husband is the same, he's just like "sorry your boobs are sore, guess we'll know soon enough!"
I don't understand how these days are going past so slowly, I'm incredibly busy at work and with my wee girl and yet somehow the weekend feels miles off. What day are you planning to start testing?

Ha, no worries! Sending you lots of baby dust!

I don't even want to embarrass myself posting it because in my heart I know this is one of them wishing it true moments, especially at 9dpo! Gonna hold out now for Saturday or Sunday and take another.

Still no lines whatsoever on Easy at Home - unsure if these are even overally sensitive but they came with my OPK tests!
