Every day I want to test, but obviously I do not as it is still too early (DTD on the 13th and 25 day cycle). I think I will take a test on the 20th, even though I am sure that is way too early even if I was pregnant! But that is my dp birthday, so if there is a chance the test would pick it up if I was pregnant, I think that would be a nice little surprise for him :)

I wake up in the morning and want to test, but I don't because I know that it would be too early. Why is it that the two week wait feels like forever....heck the one week wait feels like forever, because I have decided to start testing from one week on. Its for my third child and our first attempt...which is why I am feeling like the one week wait is forever!

Anyone else waiting to test in the next few days?

Yep! 8DPO today so am trying to wait until Monday as I’m expecting my period Sunday/Monday. TTC 2nd child, only second month.

Snowrose92 · 17/08/2018 19:32

I'm 6DPO, and it's driving me crazy, trying for our 1st baby and on medication after trying for a year. Incase it's TMI my nipples have been erect for nearly a week straight after ovulation, this has never happened before, they are painful and just constantly there. No idea what that is Confused though I really do want to test .... when's the earliest ?

Mamabear12 · 17/08/2018 21:13

I think the earliest is 5-6 days before your expected period. Mine is due the 25th so I’ll start testing the 20th 🙂 my breasts are feeling more full as of today. Something that hasn’t happened in years! I’m waiting and trying to see if I can notice symptoms. First time I felt a bit of back pain and I thought it was just my period to come. And second time I was extremely tired before my missed period. This time around i keep trying to notice if I have any symptoms. Only one is feeling like breasts are fuller. But that could also be my imagination 😀

13dpo tomorrow and desperate to poas but only if it's a bfp 😂 .... Thinking I feel AF though so not sure 😐😔

pacempercutiens · 17/08/2018 22:09

7 DPO so tempted but know I'm not showing signs I showed with DD so holding off :( so hard not to symptom spot. I think I'll probably hold out til Monday - AF due Thursday

DH is convinced this isn't our month so expecting a bfn anyway

Snowrose92 · 17/08/2018 22:17

Since ovulation my boobs haven't stopped hurting and I can honestly say I've never been so tired in my life this last week. I've got nothing to compare anything off, and any little details is getting my hopes up, hate the feeling of being let down so don't want to hype myself up too much. I am desperate to test though Grin

Mamabear12 · 18/08/2018 07:29

@MrsM2017 sometimes the early symptoms are similar to aunt flow coming. The first time all my symptoms I attributed to aunt flow coming. Swollen breasts, lower back pain (this was just short and one day, but noticeable and I thought must be bc my period is coming as it happens). But it was stuck out in my mind and later I think it was implantation. Anyway, then my breasts got real swollen and of course then my missed period confirmed it as I was clock work. Second time around, just ultra tired. Thats all I noticed. But I was also distracted with having an 11 month old :) This is what makes it hard to tell early on I think, because early symptoms are basically like your monthly is coming! Good luck!

@Snowrose92 when are you due to test? I am the same with not wanting to get hopes up. I try not to symptom spot. I am wondering if my breasts are swollen or its in my head lol. They do feel slight firmer though for sure...

I am going to test Monday morning for sure! Just two more days!

pacempercutiens · 20/08/2018 07:07

Took a test and it was a BFN, hoping it's just too early, AF due Thursday so still some hope

Fingers crossed for you all!

BasinHaircut · 20/08/2018 07:20

I’m out, AF appeared yesterday.

Mamabear12 · 20/08/2018 08:01

I tested today and it was negative. Aunt Flo is due the 25th. Will test again tomo and so on! But don’t really feel pregnant this month. I didn’t notice my extreme tiredness I got last time. My breasts feel slightly fuller, but not much. Good luck to everyone waiting to test.

I'm annoyed with myself. Angry

CD 28 today, AF due tomorrow. Has been bang on time every month since I came off the pill in Feb. I did FRER a couple of days ago, BFN. So thought, that's it, I'm out, but yesterday had minor spotting on and off all day. Felt like AF was coming early, had period pains and felt grumpy.

Woke up today, no AF or spotting. Was half asleep, with no glasses or contacts in, peed in a pot, dipped my stick for 5 seconds, poured away my sample, and waited....

Grrrr it was only one of those tests you actually have to wee all over! AngryAngryAngry Where I dipped it, it was plastic and didn't even touch the test. Blush So now I have to wait until some more wee has built up in me to test again later! So annoying.

Ym1981 · 20/08/2018 09:01

Gm all I did 2 pregnancy tests both came out with a faint second line could it b a positive

CraazyCatLady · 20/08/2018 09:09

That's exciting. Congratulations. Good luck to all the other ladies too. Thanks

I'm so frustrated. Currently on CD 31 with BFN yesterday. Usually have a 28/29 day cycle. I had a positive ovulation test on CD15. I don't think I can still be in the running as I don't have symptoms and had my negative test. But I want to be taken out of my misery!!! 😭

@CraazyCatLady drink some water and soon enough you will have some pee to get on the stick :) Keep us updated!

@Ym1981 congrats! A faint line is a line so its a positive!

@oakleywhite so frustrating! But just wait and see! Some people it takes time to get a positive. But it is frustrating when you are waiting! I am only on day 20 of my cycle and I have been hoping to get a positive to day lol....when I have 25-28 days cycle (lately its more 25 days though).

babybrainy · 20/08/2018 10:12

I think I'm only 7dpo and desperate to test! I've ordered some internet cheapies this month as can't go through the same amount of cash I've been spending every month on frers. They come tomorrow so no doubt the manic testing will begin then followed by 'who got a negative on 8dpo that went on to get a Bfp' googling! Blush

saze4 · 20/08/2018 11:25

Dont use sainsburys tests ladies!! i have had 2 false positives from them tried with er came up negative tried to upload a pic but wont upload 😔

AnotherRubberDuck · 20/08/2018 13:07

I've come to join you.
I'm on cycle day 27, but I have irregular cycles, so AF usually nearer cd 34. Don't know when I ovulated so I'm currently somewhere 4-12dpo?

Desperate to test but also sort of don't want to because I'll be devastated to see a bfn. Going to try to hold off on testing until Thursday but the symptom spotting is driving me crazy already!

Also on cycle one of trying for no.3.

Mamabear12 · 20/08/2018 13:14

@saze4 are you sure they were false positives? Maybe the other test was wrong? I tested twice with sainsburys brand and got a faint positive and at same time got to negatives with clear blue, so I was left confused and got first response the next day was a clear positive, and I've got my almost 5 year old to show for it lol. I think there can only be false negatives because if test comes up positive, there has to be some pregnancy hormone in your urine?

OP posts:
saze4 · 20/08/2018 13:27

@Mamabear12 yeah maybe, i just thought the first response would be correct cause everyone raves about them i wish it was letting me upload a pic so i could show you

Mamabear12 · 20/08/2018 15:47

I would wait a few days and then test. But if you have positive in Sainsbury’s that’s a positive. Good luck! I’m crazy now and did 3 tests today - need to stop!!! Not sure why I keep testing as I know it would be too early to show up if I was pregnant!
