Come wait with me - July onwards

I do like waiting to test, but will see how I feel next week !

I had 2 under 2 and definitely don't think you should be kicking yourself for not @LlamaMamma 😅😅 it wasn't planned and meant that I had sooo much less time for my little girl when she was still so young and needed me. It felt unfair on everyone ! They are very close now though at 5 and 3, but it took a long time to get there !

@Abs014 9 days late is crazy ! I would have been tearing my hair out !

@HavinKittens omg 4 4 and under !!! Is that even possible !! 😅😅😅

@Vic231 I'm so so sorry, that's just the worst ! How are you doing ? I'm afraid I'm no help for removing from threads, not v good with technology.. I hope you're managing some rest and time for yourself and partner. Sending love !

Hi ladies, unfortunately I will be back with you all as I've just left the EPU having had a confirmed miscarriage. I feel weirdly ok as it was so early, got my BFP on Father's Day (of all days!) when period was 3 days late, bleeding started 6 days later and then stopped on Saturday. So essentially a late period, if I hadn't of tested I wouldn't have known.

As a side note, do you know how to remove yourself from a thread? I can't work out how to get off all the feb due date threads 😞

Love to you all x

I've got a few Easy @ Home pregnancy tests which come with the OPKs. AF is due on Friday/Saturday next week and it'd be really nice to find out at the start of a weekend I think. I can't imagine finding out first thing before work and having to then concentrate all day lol.

@HavinKittens Thank you! Last month my period was 9 days late which is typical as every other month for the past few years I have been like clockwork! I think if I don’t have any spotting, I’ll probably find it easier to hold out and test later! I was 19 when I had my son and it was a surprise to say the least! I didn’t pick up on any signs as I wasn’t looking out for them so I have no idea what to expect! I just recall taking a test as I was late and it being very positive! It’s a little like starting over again as I don’t recall much of my pregnancy either, apart from feeling very alone! So thank you so much for accepting me here! My other half is a diamond and this would be his first but it’s great to have this space to chat too! 💗

I'm 4DPO and time is dragging.

I always like to wait to test, however I always spot before AF but not when I've been pregnant in the past so I tend to know at 10DPO whether I'm out or if there's a chance....

I'm so sad I didn't do 2 under 2 or 3 under 3. Kicking myself for it. I've seen so many families where it's like that and the kids are best friends.

(Obviously I'm sure it's super hard work behind the scenes!)

Anyone else like to wait longer and test? I think I must be in the minority but I prefer to see if my period shows up or not before I test!

@Goldie1234 aww at least you could test in another few days if you wanted to!! Try and keep busy to make them go faster 😅 Yes, my friend had her first and then twins 2 years later so she majorly has her hands full!
My boys are 3 and 1, and their birthdays are a month apart. 2 Spring babies! Was handy for using my eldest's clothes again!

I'm going to assume I'm just somewhere near the start of my cycle but just skipped a period and maybe do another OPK in another couple of days to see if the levels are starting to increase in line with that 🤷‍♀️ I've a friend who conceived when her periods still weren't back from bf so I know it is possible!!

Morning all ! 6dpo and also feeling impatient !! I like the hope of not testing but I also love seeing everyone's tests haha
I have 21 day progesterone bloods today, so that feels like a little milestone lol
@GinAndBearIt90 how old are your boys ? A friend of mine has 3 3 and under 🤯

Hiya! Hope it’s okay for me to join this thread? I’m TTC #2, I must be crazy as my firstborn is 14 this year! This is our 2nd month and I’m currently 8DPO 😊 the 2WW is a so tricky! I know implantation is usually 9DPO, I’ve had no spotting yet. The only thing that I feel is different is the last 3 nights I’ve had to get up at some awful hour to pee and I never usually do! AF is due Monday 10th. Is it worth testing using an early test on Thursday? I’ll be 10DPO by then?

@Unicorn25 aww yay I can't get my head round this being #3! Feels crazy 🙈 all my friends seem to be stopping at 2! You probably had an even crazier time with your smaller gap, I found 25 months gap a little nuts 😅 it's massively paying off now though for sure! Good luck for this cycle!

@HavinKittens according to Premom tomorrow is 1dpo. That sits about right with me as I've had ovulation pains all day, following my peak last night so I'm pretty sure it's happened. Hope it goes fast for us.

My sleep is also dreadful at certain points in the luteal phase. Tracking has helped me pinpoint this to around 5-8dpo for the worst sleep/anxiety/stress. I’m going to try and make a more conscious effort to avoid stressful situations around that time and tough work meetings etc if possible, as it has really messed with me at times! When I get the bad insomnia it is like nothing helps. I might start taking some valerian or something on top of current dose to try and anticipate that crappy phase.

@HavinKittens yes my peak is when both lines are equally as dark too and that's usually CD18 ish... I'm on CD4 so I've no idea why it's jumped it's never usually does at this stage 🤷‍♀️

I always sleep poorly in the luteal phase as well. The other month I had a night of literally zero sleep which was hell, since then I try to make a conscious effort of good sleep hygiene after ovulation - making sure room is cool, try to keep off my phone for a couple of hours before bed, listen to sleep meditations etc.

Morning everyone - CD18/3DPO and having cramps, far too early for implantation so no idea what this is. I hate the TWW 😖

Cycle day 13 for me today and had a positive ovulation stick late last night.

Welcome to the new people.

@GinAndBearIt90 this will be #3 for me too! My first had a 17 month age gap. Hard but amazing, isn't it?

Little help girls... I'm on CD4 should be finishing my AF in the next day or 2, but my LH has shot up... Any ideas?

Yess this is exactly what I've been doing 😅 had no idea there was a name for it ! Also how we (accidentally) ended up with our little boy because I got my days wrong 🙈👌🏽
