I'm due to ovulate anytime from today to Saturday and then af will be on the 8th! Anyone else at a similar stage and want to buddy up??

Ooh I'll join the wait.. can't tell when I should test as my cycle is a little crazy these days but I'm very tempted by the first response sitting in my cupboard!! I think 6 days before might get me to Monday, not sure!

HopefulKate1980 · 30/06/2017 18:53

Evening all...

God it sounds like we are all going crazy with the waiting! I have already tested four times (as a ridiculous cost of £25!) and it's only been 6 days now since we had sex. I am an idiot. After five pregnancies (4 of which ended in MCs unfortunately) you'd think I'd know better! MissDolly I wish I had your willpower! I still have a secret stash in my top drawer.

I'm now thinking I'm not pregnant but it is just my body re-adjusting post the birth of my son. It's just confusing because all my symptoms are the same as when I fell pregnant - right pelvic pain, increasing creamy CM, sore nipples, really regular toilet habits, bloating etc. ARGH!

Who is the next to test?

I am going to wait until Wednesday to test again, if I haven't had my period in the meantime.

Hi Kate, trying really hard not to test as only 6dpo. Like you I'm symptom spotting and it's driving me a little crazy hahaha. Fx

MissDollyMix · 30/06/2017 21:01

Hi pieandmashed!
Hey Kate! What do you think our chances are of holding out until Wednesday?! I'm not actually sure I have any willpower as I only chucked the tests in the bin because I couldn't stop myself from testing!
I'm babysitting for my friend tonight. She's left me a g&t in the fridge as she knows it's my fave. Can't decide whether or not to drink it. Confused

Julybug · 30/06/2017 21:14

Those that are having symptoms! What are they??

OP posts:
MissDollyMix · 30/06/2017 21:29

For me the biggest symptom is rock hard sore boobs. Also tiredness, spots, needing to pee more and some nausea. I also have symptoms that I recognise from previously pregnancies but I don't know if they're standard pregnancy symptoms such as being very thirsty and being very anxious/down- like awful PMT! But, of course it could be PMT! I don't have that much EWCM discharge, just a little but this was an early sign in my other pregnancies x

user1493931223 · 30/06/2017 22:06

I've had loads of abdo cramps like mild period pain each day. Feel like I'm due on but it's way to early. Nausea and have been sick after breakfast last two days. All unusual for me at this time in cycle.

WhyTheHeckMe · 30/06/2017 22:13

I'm expecting AF on around Tuesday. I just keep feeling a bit nauseous and then it goes again. No other symptoms apart from dreams I'm pregnant which I think is because I'm over analysing everything :-(

When I found out I was pregnant before I'd been told I couldn't have children so it was totally unexpected. I literally felt sick one Thursday afternoon and then the following morning woke up from a dream I was pregnant. I did a test as had some from a while back and there it was. I was exactly 2 weeks past ovulation and never got any other symptoms apart from that 1 afternoon of nausea.
I really took for granted how horrible the waiting game would be!

MissDollyMix · 30/06/2017 23:27

That sounds really similar to my experience with my first pregnancy whytheheck !

I've just remembered another symptom! Being permanently hungry! I mean I normally like my food but this is off the scale! Right now I'm craving fish and chips!

WithCheesePlease · 01/07/2017 19:27

Hello, can I join? I'm right in the middle of 2ww hell with AF expected on 8/9 July. I've sore boobs, slight cramps, and feeling very emotional, but that's the exact same every month with PMS. Holding out to maybe test frer on Wed/Thurs. Good luck everyone!

MissDollyMix · 01/07/2017 21:11

Hello withcheeseplease! Think there's quite a few of us due to test at the same time. I really, really hope that even if I don't get a BFP some of you do!
Just checked my temperature. It's probably meaningless given that I haven't temped at all, ever, so have nothing to compare it to but Braun thermoscan says 37, which seems a little higher than normal. Maybe I'm (literally!) reading into that a little too much.

Pieandmashed · 01/07/2017 21:30

I should have been sensible and waited til Wednesday or Thursday to use the first response test but I had cramps and I'm stupidly hungry. And also stupidly impatient. OOps. Guess I'll be back to boots for a new one next week once DD is back at nursery!

Are we all waiting for Wednesday-ish or is anyone able to test sooner? X

user1493931223 · 01/07/2017 21:32

I'm trying to hold out till Wednesday to test. Have ordered some IC's so I don't waste too much money 😂

Belle2008 · 01/07/2017 21:44

I have a test waiting at home so will be Monday for me!

WhyTheHeckMe · 02/07/2017 07:49

Guys please help... I caved and tested early again. I thought I could see the faintest line so took an image and it looks darker. Is this an evap line? I'm feeling very apprehensive right now. Am due on Tuesday.

TWW 🙈
McTufty · 02/07/2017 08:57

How long after taking the test did you take the picture? What test is it? tentatively optimistic for you, there's a definite line!!!!

WhyTheHeckMe · 02/07/2017 09:05

It was about 3-5 min after. And it's an asda one! I don't know what to think!

McTufty · 02/07/2017 09:31

OK I don't want to falsely get your hopes up as I've never used an ASDA test as am no expert on evaps but...

3-5 minutes after? Way too soon for an evap! Congrats girl, that's a BFP!!!!

Belle2008 · 02/07/2017 09:48

I can't see a line congratulations 😁

gooseygander88 · 02/07/2017 09:54

I can see a faint line too :) congratulations! Flowers

WithCheesePlease · 02/07/2017 10:10

Thanks for your welcome missdollymix that's really nice. Yes hopefully some people on the thread will get their bfp. The more the better! But for now, I must not poas!

TWW 🙈
MissDollyMix · 02/07/2017 10:55

Hello. My name is MissDollyMix and it has been 3 days since I last POAS... The closer it gets to the date my AF is due the more accurate the result of the test, I won't be able to dismiss a BFN as 'too early' so I'm not sure I actually want to test any more! I'm just going to stick my head in the sand, ostrich style.
whytheheck I'd say that's definitely a BFP! Congratulations! 🎉

Belle2008 · 02/07/2017 11:26

Think my periods come early 😫 Gutted

MissDollyMix · 02/07/2017 12:35

Oh no belle! 😞

I cracked and used the one last test I had squirrelled away. It wasn't FMU but it was still a BFN. I really think that given the level of symptoms I have it would be showing a positive by now. I can cope with not being pregnant (just) but I can't handle my body tricking me like this.

Belle2008 · 02/07/2017 13:02

I know not due till Tuesday and am never early only been a slight bit of brown discharge so far but think it's a bit late for implantation bleed at 12days po! Sorry about your negative test dolly, totally agree with you tho about symptoms safely they are soooo similar to pms.
