@Lila34830 you've been a soldier this month POAS for so long! Yes let me know how you get on and how easy it is!!
I'm not sure may test Sunday which would be 11DPO but not sure?! It's strange as do I want the disappointment early? 😂😂

we must be pretty synced, I haven’t got the hang of testing and LH etc yet but I think I am 7DPO and it’s my birthday tomorrow, going to London for the weekend. I am SO tempted to take tests to check each day haha but also don’t want to be too down about it if not. When I got pregnant last time (MC) I wasn’t doing any tracking and didn’t realise until I missed my period so in my head I feel like I should have better odds this time due to DTD so much around ovulation but obviously it doesn’t always work like that 🤦🏽‍♀️😂

@Lila34830 i didn’t do ovulation tests this month so it’s just predicted by my Fitbit , 6dpo

Good morning. Hope everyone is feeling ok today. I’ve woken with a headache, I think having vivid dreams all night has worn me out 😂

Hi lovely ! How many dpo are you ?

@Lila34830 I'm good thanks! I'm 8DPO today! To be honest I never get loads of EWCM either! I get a little bit but not loads!
I was reading the posts yesterday and for the ladies who are tempting I salute you! That sounds like a whole other level which I don't think I'd have the patience for 😂😂😂😂 I'm drained from POAS! Xx

Makes me feel better ! I was reading some girls don't get any so I guess I'm not gonna get hung up on it !
Are you planning on waiting until af is due ? Or testing this weekend ?
Omg idk if I told you I received my thermometer ready for next cycle 😂😂😂 I'll let you know how tedious it is. May as well, after all I've been peeing in a cup for 23 days in a row 🤣🤣🤣

Morning @Lila34830 and @KT199 !! Having a holiday booked sounds amazing!! Something to look forward too! I always find when I get to January I'm so exhausted from December it's nice to have some time off that month!
@Lila34830 so glad your reaching your peak!! It's all so tiring isn't it!!!

I'm counting down to the weekend to have a break from work 😂😂😂

Morning girl ! How many dpo are you ??
Omg I know, I think a January holiday is a mood booster !
And re the lh I'm deffo reassured but I don't have much EWCM so idk if it matters much or not 😭

Morning @KT199 ! I'm glad to hear you are feeling a little bit better, super exciting for the holiday ! We are planning on doing the same!
I am now almost at my peak LH, which I think I'll reach this afternoon so we DTD yesterday and will DTD tonight, my husband has been a trooper 🤣
I'm looking forward to the weekend, the change of hour has been tiring !

Morning ladies ✨
Trying to keep abit more positive today, regardless of outcome this month.. it’ll be my turn eventually, one way or another.
Last day in work before my weekend and we booked a holiday last night for January. It least I have something else to now look forward to and think about!

How is everyone doing today?

WomenInConstruction · 30/10/2024 20:37

@Harriet1989 yay, glad you think so. Too good not to share. ☺️

Hi, hope you lot don't mind me dropping in.
I started a thread with this but I don't think anyone is likely to click on it.
I have just finished this:
https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/brand/m001v4dd?origin=share-mobile&partner=uk.co.bbc
And it was SO good, I would have absolutely loved it when I was TTC, so thought some of you might also find it really interesting and wanted to share it with you.

If you try it I hope you enjoy it. I thought it was excellent.

Thank you for this recommendation, I've listened to ep 1 and it's great

@KT199 9dpo is quite early girl, let's see what the rest of the week brings for
You , but I get you, disappointing and exhausting ... sending you a hug xxx

OP posts:
KT199 · 30/10/2024 18:54

Tested tonight at 9DPO, BFN.. stark white. Least I don’t need to test before work tomorrow and be disappointed before that!

Actually starting to get AF symptoms too, which is abit worrying as I’m not due till Sunday but had a heavy feeling in my pelvis for a hour or two which I normally start spotting the day after.

Frenchtoastie · 30/10/2024 18:36

KT199 · 30/10/2024 07:03

@Lila34830 I’d be the same!!

Im okay, no symptoms tbh no. Not feeling hopeful. Last night found out one of my best friends is 12 weeks, happened first time for her, so feeling a bit deflated today. I’m so glad we have this thread, as hearing that yesterday made me feel so alone in this journey of it taking a little longer.. but to be able to reach out this morning is so helpful.

Held off testing but think I will do tomorrow morning at 10DPO, maybe Friday at 11DPO. AF due Sunday..

So hard hearing pregnancy announcements and seeing new baby pics, sending love and support x
your time is soon!!! Hopefully this month!

Lila34830 · 30/10/2024 18:07

Thanks so much for your support girls, much appreciated 🩷
I really hope one of you gets a bfp whilst I'm ripping my hair out during my 2WW 🤣
