Totally agree! The last few days have really dragged for me! Do you have a plan about when you might test? X

I am not sure - in my head I will be calm and try and hold out but in reality I will probably too early. What about you? x

Ah, I am 3 dpo so were at a similiar stage. I am hoping the weekend will make it feel like time is going quicker than the past couple of days.

Hi ladies, glad to have found this thread! I am currently 2dpo and I’m obsessed with what may or not be happening. Hoping this thread will bring me some much needed sanity 🤞
Good luck to you all x

Oh boooo. I think I will do one last cheapie tomorrow and if that’s BFN I’m done and waiting for AF!

I know what you mean, even though that seems like a lot of time, having a deadline is a bit of added pressure isn’t it! How old is your DD?

Fingers crossed for you still🤞
DD is 17 months, she'll be 2 in April, so she'll start daycare if I'm not pregnant by then 🙂I'm just nervous lol, I don't want to go back to work then immediately get pregnant lol, that's what I'm afraid of mainly 🤣

Anya23 · 26/09/2025 07:32

I did. 13 DPO BFN. I'll wait for AF to come on Monday / Tuesday

Also bought some beetroot juice today for the next tww, and I'll start myo inositol in a few days, once I'm finished with royal jelly supplements.
I feel so bad for going at this so crazy but I think I want this to happen so fast because otherwise I'm going back to work April / May, so we have at most half a year for conceiving. I know realistically that's a really good chance but still I'm driving myself crazy :(

HansBanans · 25/09/2025 19:59

@Anya23 oh I forgot the LH tests! And the Flo and fertility friend subscriptions 😂 cost of the bbt thermometer. It all adds up!

@olivehush if it makes you feel any better I’ve poas on like cd6 before after convincing myself that my heavy period just had to be implantation bleeding because we’d dtd in the fertile window 😂

olivehush · 25/09/2025 19:57

@HansBanans I’ve got a load of cheapie one steps from Amazon but I’ve banned myself from FRERs since I peed on one at 6dpo and got upset that it was negative 🙃

Anya23 · 25/09/2025 19:50

@olivehushI did that when we weren't even trying to conceive, just accidentally dtd like four days before ovulation and I thought I'll be pregnant 😂
@HansBanansI don't even know how much I've wasted on LH and pregnancy tests, although I'm trying to buy cheap tests, and I'll just keep a frer around just in case 🤞

HansBanans · 25/09/2025 19:45

@olivehush POAS addict here too! That does sound like a chemical 😕 hopefully this is your month tho 🤞🏻 I’ve banned myself from testing until cd32 as I’ve wasted at least £100 on tests on the past 5 months 😂

olivehush · 25/09/2025 19:44

Parking my butt here as I’ve had a BFN on a cheapie today at [roughly] 10dpo so I’m not feeling super hopeful. I know it’s still early but just feeling a bit meh. I am moody as hell, bloated and my boobs are absolutely killing me but I keep telling myself it has to be progesterone causing that as if it was HCG it would surely be coming up on a test 🫠

I am only on cycle 2 - I am pretty sure I had a chemical last month as dipped 3 tests in the same wee (I’m a certified nutter) and all 3 came back with the faintest line - posted on here and others could see it too but alas turned BFN and ended up with AF.

I think I tested 4 times yesterday. 4 times. Anyone else a POAS addict?

HansBanans · 25/09/2025 19:10

@Ec2808 amazing news! Hopefully something easily treated with antibiotics xx

@HansBanansscan went really well little bean is nestled in the right place measured 4mm and saw and heard heart activity 🥰 but got half of my blood results back and they found traces of blood in my urine so not sure what to expect..will probably hear more tomorrow but maybe an infection of the kidneys or something 😕😕 need to stop googling it it’s driving me crazy…

@thismonthsfad ah that makes sense, and nothing is tmi in the ttc world 😂

@Ec2808 hope everything went well for you today xx

The fertility expert we see said every day is the gold standard and we did conceive both months we did that but neither stuck.

Anya23 · 25/09/2025 17:28

Ec2808 · 25/09/2025 17:25

Honestly i think it does make sense also think that’s why a lot of women successfully use smep method when ttc 🥰

That's possible, I just had to check back, and we also had a three day gap before the fertile days when we conceived our daughter

This may be a massive TMI - but Hubz and I literally only had 1 chance to DTD last cycle and it had been around 2.5-3 weeks since the last action. Basically his swimmers weren’t ‘very fresh’. Chatgpt says to unleash the swimmers every 3-5 days 🤣
Honestly I don’t know how true this is but we’ll give it a go!

Show quote history

Oh I thought the best is if they are 2-3 days old lol
Although it's hard not to try and dtd every day in the fertile window so there is more chance 😂

I’m so sorry- that must’ve been really hard. I think to wait- holidays are such precious times.

Show quote history

Thank you.
yeah - we have a 3 year old already, so want to be able to focus on enjoying some time together rather than stressing about TTC

6/7dpo here! Am going on hols around the time AF is due 🫠 so don’t know whether to test a little earlier or just do it the day before/while on hols. Don’t want hol ruined by bad news, but guess that’d happen if AF arrives while there anyway. Generally I prefer not to test until after AF due as just don’t want to know if it’s a really early loss. Had MMC at 12 weeks earlier this year and it devastated me so I’m a bit anxious this time around
