🙋🏻 I am! 5dpo and heading off on holiday. Back home at 11dpo but will try to wait until 14dpo to poas. When are you testing?

9dpo... First proper cycle of TTC #1. I really want to POAS. Hubbie is trying to persuade me this is not a good idea.

TheIntrovertedMum · 27/12/2017 15:19

Halfway there! AF is due on 3rd January!

MissSophieB397 · 27/12/2017 15:41

@Bibijayne TTC #1 for me too! Keep us updated! Lots of baby dust for you. I'm actually surprised that I've not bought any tests yet though, normally it's one a day 😂

I've bought two double packs of FRER. I'm so tempted to POAS now but I know that's silly. Tomorrow morning on the other hand Wink

TheIntrovertedMum · 27/12/2017 17:04

@Bibijayne when is your AF due? The only pg I have in the house is a Tesco own so best keeping it for missed period day! I won't be near any shops to buy frers until Saturday at the earliest so it's maybe lucky or I'd be going insane lol

MissSophieB397 · 27/12/2017 17:12

It's so hard isn't it when you have them there!! That's why I'm banning myself til af is due. I've had to many disappointing times that I've leArnt to not buy them til nearer the time! Hopefully we will all get what we want!! Thanks

I'm the same @MissSophieB397 when I was TTC last time I tested far too much and got negs that when I did the positive test I left it sitting there and came back to it and was gobsmacked!

bubblybrit · 27/12/2017 19:24

Almost there! AF due 1st January based upon 30 day cycle....would really like to test on the 31st as would be a great surprise for my DH on the 1st...new year and all Smile however my cycles can vary between 30-36 days so really don’t know what to do!

TheIntrovertedMum · 27/12/2017 20:01

@bubblybrit I would get a frer and test on NYE Grin

bubblybrit · 27/12/2017 20:38

@theintrovertedmum. I’ve been saving my FRER for a situation like this. Just wasn’t sure if it would have been too early? Got a positive opk on CD18. So don’t know if I ovulated late or whether I should expect a longer cycle? Would the FRER still pick up in either case do you think?

Rioja2511 · 27/12/2017 20:53

Oh me me me! I'm 5dpo today. 1st cycle off the pill TTC #1. DH and I thought it would be nice to test New Years Day, but as I ovulated a couple of days later than I thought I'd only be 10dpo and it's probably too early. Will try and hold off until the latter end of the week!

Best of luck to us all 😃

MissSophieB397 · 27/12/2017 21:10

All keep me updated on here! I love hearing people's stories. hope this is the month for us all 💞

Rioja2511 · 27/12/2017 21:31

TMI warning but I've had brown spotting/stringy discharge since 3dpo. I don't know if it's endometriosis linked as I've been on the pill for years which controlled all of my symptoms and I blanked out the horrendous cycles I used to have. Google tells me it could be ovulation spotting (?), who knows. Going to try and don't over analyse every little thing I feel during this TWW but I know it'll be hard!

MissSophieB397 · 27/12/2017 21:44

@Rioja2511 ooh well it might well be a sign of that! Just hold out til at least 10/11dpo and try with a frer at that point Smile I'm being on my best behaviour with poas this month ha ha!

Rioja2511 · 27/12/2017 21:48

@MissSophieB397 I had thought about getting a FRER, and I see they're so much cheaper on amazon for a double pack - but lots of the reviews have said about false negatives so don't know if they're legit? Might be worth me not being cheap and shelling out full price in Boots 🙈

Bibijayne · 27/12/2017 21:59

@introvertedmum AF due NYE.

TheIntrovertedMum · 27/12/2017 22:21

@bubblybrit yeah frers can detect from 6 days before your missed period so I would say that would cover? If you're not comfortable wait til first thing on New Year's Day and test?

bubblybrit · 28/12/2017 11:32

@theintrovertedmum. Think I’m just a bit scared of disappointment if it turns out to be negative! Think I’ll hold off until 31st and then can celebrate the new year with soda water and lime (ideal!) or celebrate with vodka, soda water and lime lol Smile

rabbitsdontlayeggs · 28/12/2017 14:55

Me! AF due on 3rd Jan. Was just wondering if it's too early to test! I've got some FRER which picked up DD at 3 weeks 6 days pregnant after a negative result at exactly 3 weeks.

I'd now be 3 weeks 3 days if I've caught.... so trying to hold off!!

MaisyPops · 28/12/2017 14:58

Fingera crossed for you all ladies.

We're in the tww too here. Going to test early for the first time to see if there's any chanve in thr last year I've had any chemical pregnancies. Long shot but migjt help work out if it's conception or implantation that's the issue

TheIntrovertedMum · 28/12/2017 16:39

@rabbitsdontlayeggs same day I'm due! I'm just gonna wait it out, I don't like testing early, I think I'd rather have AF come than know I had a chemical pregnancy!

I'm getting loads of milky cm today!

MissSophieB397 · 28/12/2017 17:14

I've just been peeing for England today and had the worst back ache and tight muscles. But I'm way to early for symptoms anyway, I'm going to test with a frer 6 days before period then if it's a neg the day after if I miss my period. Anyone ever just "feel" like they're pregnant? I just feel different at the moment. Sometimes people say the just know after they conceived. Wishful thinking eh! Blush

xLauraa · 28/12/2017 17:28

@MissSophieB397 That's what I'm doing, I'm irregular but tomorrow is CD31 which is the longest I've ever been on a cycle so if AF doesn't show tomorrow I'll test the day after!
Hopefully your feelings are right!🤞🏼
I don't feel either at the moment. I usually get loads of feels for AF arriving but I feel absolutely nothing ... the only thing is I've been SO tired for the past 4-5 days but that could be anything 😖
