Any October testers?

[Mrsmumtobe]

Saw a thread today from September testers, is there anything for oct yet? Just joined the TTC crew for baby #1 ☺️

Hey all congratulations si7ver this is keeping me positive. Hello to all those due AF this weekend, this is going to be a long week. I haven't got any tests at home as I had promised myself not to test until Af due but this month is really hard. Obsessively symptom spotting....
Sore boobs
Feeling really emotional
No cramps
However this is so similar to pms I have given up symptom spotting now. Praying af doesn't arrive and I might test Sunday xx

I'm 8dpo and just poas. It was negative and I cried. Why do we do this??

@ash1987 I am due on Sunday also but I'm 8dpo today. Had loads of symptoms but am still starting to fret about it now, for God's sake.

ash1987 that is so sweet I'll be thinking of you too and VJONES1985

Yes, thinking of you @peachesarenom and @ash1987. Nice that I'm not alone!

Had this just now, at 9dpo. Am starting to thinking it's not my month after all

@VJONES1985 don't give up Hun ...I'm 9dpo and had a bfn too but holding out incase it's cus the hcg levels are too low in my FMU x

@PinkChocolatex Thanks, am trying not to get too positive though. Need to back away from the test strips until at least Sunday!!

Or until AF appears, of course

Ugh I know how you feel...I've tested twice today! DH thinks I'm acting crazy!!! Why do PMS symptoms have to be the same as pregnancy! Argh! x

It's weird because literally none of the symptoms I've had this month are what I usually have before AF, which is what for me thinking in the first place. However, as I get closer to my expected period, obviously I'm starting to doubt myself. We turn into irrational, possessed women.

Hi all, can I join? Currently on cycle 19. 11dpo, AF due on Saturday. Just did a Frer and got a BFN. I know I'm not out, but I certainly feel I am right now!

Congratulations @si1ver that's amazing news, I'm so pleased for you!!

I'm 9DPO today and trying to hold off testing until Sunday (AF due Monday 9th) . Is anyone else testing that day?

I'm feeling the pain ladies, AF is officially 1 to 2 days late! But 2 BfNs so far! Only used internet cheapies (early detection) reluctant to pay £10 a pop for clear blue if it's just going to give the same outcome!
Have been having a lot of odd cramping feelings and been getting pretty light headed and mood swingy...... I normally cramp pretty bad before af but this have been for a week now and no sign..... sigh

Welcome @mamabear, sending positive vibes, think we are all feeling we are in the same boat!

Morning everyone,
I think I’m either 10 or 11dpo today, bfn yesterday and felt deflated. I usually start to spot by 11/12dpo so am just trying to hold off buying anymore tests (as if!) until Friday.
I’ve got a big night out Saturday so could do with knowing early!

Mrsmumtobe I had lightheadedness yesterday morning walking back from school, which is not normal for me either, I veered across the path!

Having cramps this morning that feel like AF

oh we have a little weekend of BFP coming our way lets keep positive ... she says but inside is in complete mental turmoil... I keep straddling thinking this is it, then thinking no it cant be!!!!
@VJONES1985 , are cramps at this stage of your cycle normal? ..

I have held off testing as I only have one test and I am in Italy and they keep all the tests behind the counter and I don't speak Italian so its all very complicated to ask.... anyway I plan to test tomorrow first thing (Thursday) .. AF due Sunday...
has anyone / does anyone know anyone where the early tests (clear blue, 6 days pre period detection) have actually worked???.. all I see is stories of testing too soon, having to wait until late...

@mrsmumtobe are you normally like clockwork? is 1-2 days late unusual for you? this seems positive!! I am like you a week of cramping, never have this pre AF though, normally during AF

@EverythingNow I am in the same boat, I have a wedding on Friday!!! could do with knowing either way, but AF not due to Sunday...

@ash1987 Yes, normal a this stage although I have had cramps since ovulation this month, which isn't normal so I don't know what to think

Negative test this morning. Due on Friday morning.
Been feeling sick and dizzy. Loads cramps today 😔
Think I'm out this month

I normally have cramping a day to day and half before AF pretty much a dead certain that I will come on the following day from having the cramps and churny stomach.
I am pretty regular to within a day or 2 which is why I say 1-2 days late. Trying to stay realistic as a day late is nothing but my mind is all over the place! Telling myself no chance on our first attempt will we succeed!

The cramps didn't last long but I've now got backache, I'm exhausted and feel sooo queasy. Am struggling with my lunch and I can smell the school dinners at work (I'm a teacher) but the smell is really strong and making me want to be sick. Oh, the joys. Horrible taste in mouth today too.

Today the struggle is real for me...my symptom spotting is in overdrive!!! really strangely I am quite short for breath, tight chest... I anxious perhaps as feeling very hot also.. feeling very tired!! so very randomly I also feel like I smell???.. not horrific or bad and I cant describe the actual smell... going mad

Well it may be that this was chemical after all as I've started bleeding. Not particularly heavily, but that's usual how my period start, and I feel all weird, cramps and aches around my pelvis.

I am unbelievably distraught.

Sorry to hear that Si1vervirtual hugs and cake coming your way. Xx

Oh si1ver, I'm sorry. That's so cruel. Big hugs.
