Anyone testing next week? On sat 15th I'll be 10dpo. Time is dragging. This is cycle 2 of trying after MMC in may. Really need it to work this time, starting to get really down! Help distract me for the next week??

Sorry about your MMC. I had one at 10 weeks in February. My AF is due the 17th so I'll probably test the 22nd if AF doesn't show. Good luck!

Sorry for your loss. My AF is also due the 17th, but I ovulated late this month. No way can I hold out till 22nd ! How do you do it

Hey Grumpy, I had MMC in June and ERPC on 15th. Period hasn't returned but at my follow up appt she was able to tell me it looked like I was ovulating. Came home, DTD and now waiting. When should I test? Fingers crossed for you. xx

When did you ovulate? @Presh12345

Presh12345 · 09/07/2017 07:48

Oops yeh forgot to mentioned that!! Didn't wait for my period to return after the MMC. Had my follow up last Wednesday 5th July and when she told me that, I was straight home and on the case 🙈🙈. And every day since!!

I ovulated on the 5th too. I'll be testing from the 15th I think. My BFP last time was faint but visible at 10dpo.

We could maybe POAS together!!😂

Not sure how hopeful I am to be honest and don't want to be let down! 🙁
No sign of period at all, pains cramps nothing. So keeping everything crossed and hoping I'll have got lucky again. First time, it was first try. Maybe this time will be first try too.

Only 5 more mornings to resist testing - I'm thinking of it like that

hello! I'm due on the 17th as well so currently working out the earliest I can test (reasonably expecting a result). I don't actually think i will be getting a BFP this time around but we shall see...

Please can I join?
I ovulated on the 5th too, so we can endure the 2ww together!
Starting to think that I'm out though, as I do have some cramps which feel like PMS...

Bit early for cramps no @Bumpkin21 ?

@whyhastherumgone when are you testing? I think we need to do a group POAS on the 15th

OP posts:
MouseLove · 09/07/2017 21:40

Ah the way I look at it, why umm and arr over a faint line or none at all. I think I'd rather see AF than test early and piss away £5 lol. Plus, if I am pregnant then I'll need to wait 9 months anyways. Another week won't kill me. 😄

Bumpkin21 · 09/07/2017 22:12

@thegrumpysquirrel - I usually get cramps about now, as I'm due sometime between Thurs and Sun. Hoping it's not AF, but feels exactly like PMS. Fingers crossed!

YES to the group POAS. I really hope there are some BFPs on this thread on Sat!

I may be really naughty and test Friday (9dpo) as it's my brothers wedding and I'd really like to know! Do you think it'll be pointless testing then? The test says there's a 79% chance of picking up a positive then...

I know what you mean bumpkin as my DD (12.5) is going to her dads on Friday for the summer holidays and I'd like to tell her if I do get a BFP but last time the line was super faint at 10dpo so I think I should wait

OP posts:
whyhastherumgone · 10/07/2017 07:59

i'm at a friends this weekend so either have to test Friday or wait til Monday - lets be honest, it will be Friday won't it? Not going to be able to restrain myself!

Bumpkin21 · 10/07/2017 13:10

Anyone got any symptoms yet?

whyhastherumgone · 10/07/2017 13:29

Not really, I felt queasy all last week but feel okay this week so think it was overindulgence or a touch of the bug that's been going around.
Been tired but it's been hot so that's normal.

The only thing I have is I've gone off eggs - usually have them every day - but that again could just be a result of feeling a bit rough all last week... I really think I'm on course for AF so am just thinking about next month now and making sure we are both around for the window :) Will obviously still test but will see if I can wait until Monday when AF is actually due.

What about you?

I'm not sure. Feel bit tired and slightly sore boobs. Appetite normal though so not that hopeful. Last time I didn't feel like eating much and got dizzy , but that was only the second week of TWW

whyhastherumgone · 10/07/2017 14:13
