Halfway through my TWW and looking for company. Anyone in the same boat?

I've still got about a week to go before I can POAS. DH and I have been trying for about 5 months, but I have very irregular cycles so it's all really hard to judge. I usually go about 2 weeks between periods so following that, AF should be due to arrive before the end of this week. But I'm thinking that would be too early to test and am very impatient! I've also been taking agnus castus this month on the advice of a medical friend so I'm feeling tentatively hopeful. Anyone around who wants to wait it out with me and not read too much into every symptom and definitely not take a test every day this week?

Ooh ickle, this does sound promising. When did you last poas??

Sleepingbunnies · 13/04/2015 13:03

Yay! Congratulations ero

haquoi123 · 13/04/2015 13:04

how many dpo are you sleeping?

Sleepingbunnies · 13/04/2015 13:15

Everything is so all over the place. I don't know...

Icklepickle101 · 13/04/2015 13:18

Haquoi - Saturday which was 11dpo so might try and wait until Wednesday and test again if no more bleeding!

diamondsparkles · 13/04/2015 13:21

Fingers crossed ickle!! Xx

haquoi123 · 13/04/2015 14:40

Why not wait a little longer sleeping if you're not sure. There's no rush to find out. I don't chart temp or anything so mine a guess really as well. Hope you're OK xx

Fingers crossed ickle

I've got more pinching and spotting... Getting nervous

Brooke113 · 13/04/2015 14:44

Congratulations Ero :) keeping everything crossed for you Sleeping Bunnies.

I don't quite know where I am in my cycle, Cd 21 today,I had almost positive OPKs around Cd12, but I'm really doubtful that I ovulated because it's not like me to have a 28 day cycle Hmm so I've been doing OPKs for the last few days and they've been negative Sad so unless I get a positive within the next 4 days, making my cycle 38 days, I'm going to take it that my body did decide to ovulate early...

diamondsparkles · 13/04/2015 14:51

Sounds good haquoi! Is the spotting out of the ordinary? The pinching sounds very promising xx

hewy · 13/04/2015 15:23

Congratulations ero! How long have you been trying?
Diamond 9dpo is way too early to rule yourself out ... don't give up!
Good willpower from Haquoi. Impressive and inspiring ladies.
I'm either 11 or 12dpo today (not exactly sure when I oved). I tested Sat and Sunday morning - both BFN :( I couldn't bear to see another this morning so didn't test but think I'll try again tomorrow morning. I have sore boobs and (may be imagining) slight nausea ... ttc does really scary things to the brain though so have no faith in my symptom spotting at all. Last month I was convinced I was preg up til AF showed up.
Fingers crossed that AF stays away for you Ickle.

Icklepickle101 · 13/04/2015 15:41

Hewy I completely get you, always debating wether my symptoms are real or imaginary because I really want them to be there!

Not really sure when to test again, I've wasted so many tests I want to wait but am 14dpo tomorrow?

haquoi123 · 13/04/2015 17:41

Ok, I caved, sorry diamond! I'd eaten so much today and still hungry, so I poas. I think this is my month. Incredibly faint bfp (you'll have to squint) ... I now just need to get past implantation, so not celebrating just yet, but v pleased, fingers crossed a sticky bean. In the words of DH: 'that's great to know you're not a dried husk and that I'm not shooting out puffs of air!'

diamondsparkles · 13/04/2015 17:41

Thanks hewy! I hope so!! Fingers crossed for you tomorrow then! Symptoms sound promising but I know what you mean as well, our brains do a good job of tricking us sometimes - it's very cruel Sad
Ickle - 14 dpi should be good to test tomorrow- fingers crossed for you too

diamondsparkles · 13/04/2015 17:42

*dpo not dpi!!

EllaBella1 · 13/04/2015 18:02

I see a line!

I'm not poas until 12 dpo so another 7 days to go arghh

Brooke113 · 13/04/2015 18:04

That looks positive to me harquoi123. Congratulations to you :) how many days past ov are yyou hun, I'm guessing that's a Frer?I think.I might be 7 or 8 days past ov, is that too early for a frer?

haquoi123 · 13/04/2015 18:04

Thanks Ella :)

diamondsparkles · 13/04/2015 18:07

Wow haquoi - congratulations!!! That's a good line. I'm so happy for you. Ha ha I love the wise words of dp, sounds like something my dh would say!
I too caved but sadly bfn again, I know it's early yet but it is not looking good

haquoi123 · 13/04/2015 18:07

Thanks brooke! I think I ovulated Sunday /Monday (I go by cervical mucus only), so only 7 days ish?! It doesn't really make sense. It's a super drug own brand - apparently they're the most sensitive on the market!

hewy · 13/04/2015 18:10

Hooray haquoi! Congratulations! I love how we know before friends and family ... such a great place to share secrets with complete privacy. Let's pray for baby haquoi to cling on tightly. xxx

Brooke113 · 13/04/2015 18:11

Wow, might have to find myself a superdrug as that's a good line! :)

haquoi123 · 13/04/2015 18:12

I've got my fingers crossed for you diamond, dpo buddy! I honestly wouldn't go by me though, my cycles usually last 5-6 weeks and this one has been 3, so there's still hope for you and everyone else. It ain't over till AF sings

haquoi123 · 13/04/2015 18:16

Thanks Hewy, that's so kind and lovely of you, please do, it's going to be so hard this time. Honestly, thanks to everyone for the support and I absolutely hope you're bfps happen soon xxx

diamondsparkles · 13/04/2015 18:34

Thanks haquoi! Yes fingers crossed for sticky haquoi baby bean Smile
Hewy, yes it's good to have a place here to share - let's hope we all get those bfps like ero and haquoi xx

IfYouWereARiverIdLearnToFloat · 13/04/2015 19:26

Aw you guys! Ero & Haquoi that's amazing news! Fingers & toes crossed for more good news on here.

My AF is due today but no sign of it so far - my boobs are sore and I'm nauseous & ravenous all at the same time but that could be something or nothing... I'm going to test tomorrow I think.
