We'll I've eaten a whole box of chocolates, what to do for the next 12 days. 2ww testing end of Sept

[EsmeGNU]

I've eaten a whole box of orange matchmakers instead of dinner. I've read almost every post on AIBU. There's nothing happening on Facebook. I've got 12 days until I can poas..........someone join me and keep me sane

I’m 9 dpo today. Going to try really hard to wait until Thursday to test but don’t hold me to that.

Of course when DH get his sperm analysis results from the doctor today I may know the out come without even having to test.

@EsmeGNU I hope it's good results for your husband! I'm 8DPO and going to test on Friday which will be 12DPO and a day late so should be a clear result?? We both have the day off so either way will be able to take in the shock and celebrate or go for a nice booze lunch and feel a little sad.

Thanks @GnTplease doesn't seem too bad. They want to retest as the results suggest abnormal viscosity. Which I'm obviously not frantically googling........
The other thing is morphology being less than ideal, but equally it could be worse and i suspect that some improvements in certain lifestyle factors could help.
All in all, not nearly as bad as I feared. Hopefully I'll test in a few days and get a BFP and none of this will matter.
Can't believe it's still only dpo 9.........roll on Thursday

@GnTplease am ok thanks. Bit tired and feeling like I have a mild cold but ok. Because only dh and I know at this stage, I keep forgetting! Went through the whole day today without thinking about it! Which means I Forgot to book my booking in appointment!

How are we doing ladies? I’ve no idea how I’m going to resist poas tomorrow. It’s all I can think about. I’ve been implantation symptom spotting all day.

@EsmeGNU I'm the same. Really tempting to test. Will be 11dpo, but not due af till 2nd... I promised myself I'd wait till Wednesday...

@EsmeGNU I'm interested in you saying you're waiting until Thursday - how many dpo would you say you need to be for a viable test? Glad that the results weren't as bad as you feared

I wasn't patient.... I caved and tested...

Am I seeing things??? Oh my gooooood!!!!!

@Bubble04 ahhh that's a really strong positive!!! Congratulations!!!

@EsmeGNU me too! I had some weird cramps on one side, like ovulation pain yesterday for 5-10 mins. Then nothing. Probs just wind but I was googling like mad!!

@GnTplease thank you! It got a lot darker after that too, just couldn't contain my excitement long enough to take the picture at its optimum lol

Fingers crossed for everyone. Hoping this is a lucky thread xxxxx

What were your symptoms @Bubble04 and did you do anything different this month??

To be honest I didn't get many. My boobs aren't sore, which was a big sign in previous pregnancies. Been feeling a bit queezy the last couple of days, and a few waves of being light headed. Huge craving for water, which is odd as a rarely drink it... oh, and really vivid dreams. Think that's about it though...

The only thing I did different was that I did the temp tracking, used ovia and opk's, but did everything else the same way. I guess just a bit more knowledge and awareness this cycle x

@Bubble04 congratulations!!!!! ⭐️👍😊

Ahh massive congrats Bubble04

Oh wow, @Bubble04 that's amazing! Unfortunately mine this morning was still BFN...not even sure why I keep testing now. 😞 But very pleased for you! That's great. x

Oh my goodness @Bubble04 I’m so pleased for you congratulations! Love a good BFP

@rachelandthenoodle if your only 9dpo like your app thinks you may not have even implanted yet. You are out yet. FX.

I’ve had a super faint squinter at 10dpo @CoffeeWithMyOxygen (sadly turned out to be a chemical. It’s more that if I wait I won’t use a thousand tests. 😂

Who’s still hanging on in there and when’s AF due? Mine should arrive on Sunday, FX she doesn’t though.

@EsmeGNU I'm 9dpo AF due thurs (short LP) so gonna test Friday. Boobs still extremely painful, lots of CM, crazy dreams, some very slight cramping, no spotting which I would usually have by now and a bit queasy. So plenty of symptoms, just hope my body isn't playing tricks on me. I had pretty much the same the month I came off cerazette but obviously not due to pregnancy!

I don't know, @EsmeGNU - I was really convinced for a few days because my boobs were so sore and I was getting weird ovary flutters and bloating, and fatigue...etc etc. But my chart doesn't make much sense..my opk highs and peaks were the week before FF thinks I Ov'ed on the Sunday...😞 no clue. My body just seems to be doing its own thing right now.

FX @GnTplease. My CM seems to have dried up. I had loads of crazy dreams the month I had my chem, so I’m a big believe that’s a symptom.

I’m not very good with charts @rachelandthenoodle, I think my thyroxine messes with my temps because I’m terrible at taking it at the same time. Looks like your temp is still higher than usual. FX that’s a good sign.

Thanks @EsmeGNU ; I didn't know thyroxine made a difference. I'm also on thyroxine, but I'm pretty good at taking it at 6.30/7 am every day, and that's generally after my temping, so hopefully that lessens the impact?

So you know how I wasn't testing until Thursday.................
