Mid October testers?

I'm 6 dpo and have used up all my methods of distraction already!

I'll be testing on the 11th if I can wait that long!

For context, we weren't actively trying but I always knew we'd have a third and there's a (small?) chance it has happened this month. It would be earlier than we planned but if there's anything I've learned it is that there's never a good time and never a bad time to have a baby. Grin This would be my last so Im getting myself really excited.

Does anybody want to join me in this waiting marathon?

Is anybody planning to test this weekend?

I've got a visitor from abroad staying over now, it's good to be distracted!

I'm going to do one last test tomorrow then forget about it for a week or two (ahahaha as if!) if I get another BFN.
Good luck to all planning to test this weekend!

@BlueeSpottyTiger I see a line 🙂🙂 xx

BlueeSpottyTiger · 06/10/2017 23:42

Saz 🤗 glad you can!
I'll test again tomorrow morning. Dreading it being negative- this has happened before! Xx

sazzle3 · 07/10/2017 09:07

@BlueeSpottyTiger I’m in my fertile period and the 2nd line is just starting to get darker 🙂 . This is the part I hate waiting for that 2nd line to be darker than the 1st and then the TWW. Xxx

BlueeSpottyTiger · 07/10/2017 10:07

The tww kills me Saz I'm sorry your still trying :( Goodluck x

I've got a slightly darker line today at 9or10dpo! Its more pink in person. 3rd pregnancy this year! I really hope i end up with a baby this time 😣

@BlueeSpottyTiger I really hope you do aswell Hun. All I want is it get a positive test and then a baby at the end xx

Mrsmumtobe · 07/10/2017 13:55

Taking it that I'm out this month, still no AF but another BFN and that's me a week 'late' think it's my body adjusting to being pill free.

Good luck all still in and yet to test xx

Betsyboo87 · 07/10/2017 22:10

Bluee I can see something and that's great it's getting darker.

Mrsmumtobe so sorry af got you!

sazzle3 that's all I want too!

So.... I usually spot from 7/8dpo until af and I'm currently 10/11dpo and no spotting yet. I really don't want to test until af is due. On one hand I'm excited and on the other I'm thinking "I probably didn't ov this month as I had a cold,". Talk me down from testing please!

sazzle3 · 08/10/2017 18:13

@BlueeSpottyTiger so the first opk pic was taken about 9 this morning and the 2nd opk pic was taken about 30 minutes ago 🙂. Hoping the next one I take just before bed will be even darker xx

Hello! Can I join? I'm 7DPO and due AF on 15th October (Next Sunday) so I'll probably be testing 14th onwards.

Good luck to you all!

Jade123f · 08/10/2017 19:07

Hello! I love reading everyone's comments and wishing you all BFPs!!! I ovulated yesterday so now I'm in my 2ww. Hate this part! Xx

Hello and welcome spiced and peach!

I am very tempted to test tomorrow. I think it'll be 12 dpo then. I only have a cheapie blue dye test. Should I??

Did you test betsy?

Jade123f · 08/10/2017 19:56

@littlebirdblues Do it! Have you tested at all yet? When is AF due? I hope you get a BFP xx

AF due on Thursday. I haven't tested at all yet and I don't think the chances are high, we're more in the "let's see what happens" category...

Im pretty sure this people be my last baby so I'm quite emotional about it al!

The thing is that my dad is visiting from abroad until Wednesday morning. If it's a bfp I wouldn't want to tell him yet but it would be hard to keep it from him too! That's why I've waited this long! Grin

Betsyboo87 · 08/10/2017 21:45

Littlebirdblues I’ve been good! I’m going to hold out until Friday. I can’t cope with the disappointment of a bfn - I’d rather just see af. Just a few more days for you to wait! Hopefully you’re keeping busy to distract yourself. Fx!

BlueeSpottyTiger · 08/10/2017 22:13

saz looking good!! You still using your CB monitor aswell? X
little wow your patient! Hehe

I'm not entirely sure what's going on with my tests the last 2 frers i've done have been darker than the first one i did but the one i did today is the same colour as yesterday. I don't think I'm pregnant! surely at 10/11dpo they should be darker. I'm not going to test tomorrow, I'll wait until my bday Tuesday and if its not darker then i know to probably expect af the next day.

sazzle3 · 08/10/2017 22:24

@BlueeSpottyTiger no just the cheapie opks for now I ran out of the sticks for the clear blue ones. I’m hoping to get my positive in the morning ( or through the night, I always need a wee about 2-3ish so will test then lol) I’ve told the hubby I will be needing him in the morning before Work just to make sure haha, he just said ok darling xxx

Hi all fellow testers.

So I poas this morning and got a pfn.

I was really disappointed! Admittedly chances weren't exactly huge but these last few days I have had such vivid dreams (including one where I gave birth, too surreal), sore breasts to the point that they woke me up, and ligament pains in my pelvic area.

I guess it just shows how strong our psychological power of conviction is!

I (think) I was 12 or 13dpo when I did the test. Af is due on Thursday. It was a cheap blue dye test.

Could it have been wrong? Be honest with me! Grin

Hope you alll had some better news!

DaenerysismyQueen · 10/10/2017 21:14

You have my sympathy! I've just foolishly done a FR test and it was a BFN so I think I'm out. AF not due until Sunday but I have really sore boobs which I think is a sign of AF instead of pregnancy now I've done the test.

DaenerysismyQueen · 10/10/2017 21:17

But in answer to your question people seem do seem to get negatives testing early then positives later on. I would say wait until Thursday and if no AF test again.

LittleBirdBlues · 10/10/2017 21:37

Daener I am pretty sure I'm out this month. I guess you're right and all my symptoms just mean af is on her way.

Oh well. This pregnancy would have come a bit earlier than we planned. But I got myself all worked up and hopeful. I doubt I will learn my lesson though! Grin

OP posts:
DaenerysismyQueen · 10/10/2017 22:05

Me too! I was as mad last time, that said I got a BFP straight away that time even though I was testing early. Oh well let's wait and see! If not see you in November!

LittleBirdBlues · 10/10/2017 22:14

Daener ha, yes!

My last two pregnancies were both surprises and I only found out in week 6 or 7. So all this symptom spotting and waiting is very new to me. It is also quite exciting! Wink if it doesn't go on for too long of course!

NakedMum33and3rd · 10/10/2017 22:45

Can I join in?
TTC DC 3 first month AF due today but nothing yet. No symptoms of either pg or af. Negative test. Feeling confused Confused.
Tested early both times previously and had positives straight away.
I wasn’t expecting it to happen instantly but I’m usually very regular with my cycles and I get really bad PMT and so far nothing this month!!!
