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??

7/8 is so early @TheGrumpySquirrel I'm keeping everything crossed for you Saturday.

Thanks for the link - I did find this deal on First Response pack of 2 - for two packs on Amazon if anyone is interested:

The FRERs are so costly I nearly hate using them! But if it's a BFP then worth it! Fingers crossed we're all lucky and they are the last we buy for some time!!
@TheGrumpySquirrel you're not out til AF shows up! I read somewhere that time it takes for cervix position moving high or low is different for everyone so there is stil hope!

Bumpkin21 · 12/07/2017 16:55

Can I test yet can I test yet can I test yet? (Soooooo bored of this waiting!!)
Just one more morning to go!

Aridia · 12/07/2017 18:14

Haha I know @Bumpkin! I'm so desperate to do another test too! Really tempted...

Bumpkin21 · 12/07/2017 18:40

I might test with a cheapo tomorrow. Probably way to early, but could I call it practice?!

patientlywatchinglines · 12/07/2017 18:56

I caved and tested with a cheapo strip. Being late in day and only 9dpo I didn't have much hope! BFN of course! Wasn't worth the disappointment! Someone posted here or somewhere else the calculator below which is really good!
As for symptoms today DH cut lawn and I near got sick wit smell of cut grass that I usually love! Was all moody and exhausted all day so I am hoping .....Glad I kept my FRER for this Sunday!

Aridia · 12/07/2017 18:57

You're beating me! I caved...just did a test, and it was a bfn - of course! I'm pretty sure AF is just around the corner though. I'm sure if I was pregnant the test would have shown something now. I'll keep waiting, but not very hopeful!

@Bumpkin, you could definitely call it practice! Haha Grin

patientlywatchinglines · 12/07/2017 19:01

@Bumpkin21 you might as well try now too lol
Until we get the always and tampax out those BFN's could be BFWrongs 😁

Bumpkin21 · 12/07/2017 19:29

@patientlywatchinglines - true, since I bulk bought cheap tests I don't mind wasting them!
By the feeling in my lower tummy though, I'd say AF is on her way. But then again, I don't know the difference between pregnancy cramps and PMS cramps. Probably nothing! The wait continues....

Bumpkin21 · 12/07/2017 20:41

Got a BFN as expected!

whyhastherumgone · 12/07/2017 20:47

Boo! Hopefully the next time you test we will get some bfps. These pregnancy test companies must be rolling in it

TheGrumpySquirrel · 12/07/2017 20:55

Gonna jinx it but I've been having weird cramps to several days.. getting hopeful again, I NEVER get cramps before af. I normally just wake up then bam!

Presh12345 · 13/07/2017 06:43

No AF, no signs of it, still starving, 8dpo.

TheGrumpySquirrel · 13/07/2017 07:27

I've got af type cramps in my back but at only 8dpo it better not be this early!

OP posts:
whyhastherumgone · 13/07/2017 08:06

Morning all! How's it going today? Haven't tested so far, am 10 dpo today. Tired and bloated so taking this as a sign AF is on her way - due sunday/monday so that would be about right. Anyone testing today or are you all resisting now til the weekend? I don't know if i would trust a test this early, whatever the outcome so I think that's probably helping!

Bumpkin21 · 13/07/2017 08:15

I tested with a cheapo again this morning - BFN of course, way too early! AF due tomorrow-Sun, but still only 8dpo (really short luteal phase).
Fingers crossed for you all as we approach proper POAS day!

patientlywatchinglines · 13/07/2017 08:40

Going to hold out to Sunday morn. Won't have a chance Fri and Sat now wit being away so that's a good distraction. Little to no symptoms
of AF or Preg. No shifts in bbt either! Body jus give me a clue!!!

Presh12345 · 13/07/2017 09:53

Only 8dpo today. Have cried twice today for no reason, still starving. Don't know when AF is due as haven't had one since April and due to MMC and ERPC, not sure when it will come back. I'm going to test 18th morning as 19th would be 2 weeks since ovulation. It was only with an internal scan for my follow up from ERPC that she said I was ovulating on 5th. Am well aware that all these "symptoms" I have could well be from the witch herself. Fingers crossed.

IJustGotHitByADeer · 13/07/2017 11:20

Hi ladies, may I join please? I'm testing this Saturday - things are a bit uncertain with cycles at the moment but I think Saturday is the earliest I could get a reliable result. I am so desperately hoping for a BFP but it's our first time ttc and our first cycle off the pill so I'm having to brace myself for the likelihood of a BFN.

I'm starving all the time too but no real idea how many days past ovulation (fairly sure I have ovulated though but could be wrong). Doesn't help that DH is joining in with the symptom spotting - "do your nipples look different today?" etc Grin

patientlywatchinglines · 13/07/2017 11:48

Welcome @IJustGot it's a rollercoaster ha! I'm 8 months ttc for 1st time and crazy cycles since coming off mirena.
Good luck Sat morning!
Regarding nipples I found myself comparing mine to my DH's last night to see what's "normal" colour. I'm surely losing it haha

IJustGotHitByADeer · 13/07/2017 12:05

I'm so glad you've said that @patientlywatchinglines - I found myself looking at DH the other day whilst dtd and thinking "DH's nipples look slightly puffy today, I wonder if he's pregnant" Confused

patientlywatchinglines · 13/07/2017 13:01

Hahaha! Thankfully they can't read our thoughts BlushGrin

Bumpkin21 · 13/07/2017 13:11

Hahaha you guys are cracking me up! (And helping to keep me sane!)

whyhastherumgone · 13/07/2017 15:14

Love this - IJust you made me snort coffee out of my nose - I could just imagine you eyeing up OH mid deed and him (luckily) having absolutely no idea. Thank God for forums like this where we can let our true madness spill out.... Grin

TheGrumpySquirrel · 13/07/2017 21:56

Update: couldn't wait but I think this is an evap as the FRER is negative

Countdown to POAS day
