Not testing until July

115 replies

Anyone want some support in holding off with taking pregnancy tests?

My AF is due Tuesday 25th June but I will hold off on testing for two reasons... To avoid disappointment, and also because I have probably got a job interview the following week so would prefer to focus on that before finding out.

To anyone who joins... When is your AF due? And when will you test?

I will probably test on 1st July if no AF has shown up by then.

I probably started this a bit early... Anyone tempted to test next week but holding off until July (or trying to!) ?

I'll not test until the 1 July at the very latest

shutyourlittleface · 23/06/2019 12:37

I meant, very earliest

Bezalelle · 23/06/2019 13:14

My AF is due 3rd or 4th July so I won't be testing until then. Symptom spotting like crazy though!

mumof1hants · 23/06/2019 15:20

Hi,
I'm due AF anytime from weds onwards. I'm 9dpo.. however I'm not going to test until 1st July. Last month I tested on the day AF was due and got a BFN. AF was then 3 days late and I was in a foul mood the entire time so I'm going to wait it out! The disappointment is soul destroying.
You're welcome to come & join us on the July bus... a few of us are waiting to test then xx

ChikiTIKI · 23/06/2019 15:34

Hi everyone!! Glad to have some others in the same boat :) I will check out the July bus thread too. I assume it's quite big. I find it hard to join a big thread, I find it hard to keep up!

I keep thinking I must be pregnant.... But I always think that! The vivid dreams is what's got me convinced this time. Only ever remember having that when pregnant. Been feeling a bit sick today too. Thought I was going to be sick when eating my breakfast!

To clarify, I have been having loads of very vivid and some also kind of weird dreams for over a week now. Every night!

Hey ladies I'm due af on the 3rd of July and I too have been having really vivid dreams! I think I am about 7dpo

mumof1hants · 23/06/2019 16:10

Now you say it I had several really weird vivid dreams last night!!! X

Bezalelle · 23/06/2019 18:39

@aprilclimbs I think I'm at exactly the same stage as you!

ChikiTIKI · 23/06/2019 19:18

Usually when not pregnant, I don't remember dreams that often but when I do, I can always figure out what caused the dream. Usually an event from the day, something I watched on to before bed, etc. But when pregnant I get weird vivid dreams that seem to come from nowhere! And I've been having them every day for over a week now. Maybe about 9 days. AF due on Tuesday...

So exciting that others are getting the vivid dreams too. Will be interesting to see if theory holds up!

I went to the supermarket today and didn't even think about buying any tests!! :)

mumof1hants · 23/06/2019 19:26

@ChikiTIKI I'd never heard of the vivid dream thing before!

You're good! I have a stash of tests at home already including a FRER... I'm actually not tempted to do it though. Got to stay strong!! X

Skyla01 · 23/06/2019 19:47

I'll join you! My cycles have been out of whack since coming off the pill. Currently about cd40 but no idea when / if I've ovulated. Last cycle was 57 days... So I've no idea what's going on but there is a chance I am pregnant I guess. I've got a work trip 1st week of July which might involve some socialising, so planning to test before I leave just in case!

ChikiTIKI · 23/06/2019 20:42

@mumof1hants I think you're even more strong to have them in the house and not use them. If I had bought one today "for later" I would have used it already!

ChikiTIKI · 23/06/2019 20:46

@Skyla01 57 days gosh that must have been frustrating!! Hopefully this is your month :)

Major vivid dreams last night! Plus, for once in my life, I don't want my usual morning cup of tea. This is most unlike me...

aprilclimbs · 24/06/2019 12:22

@Bezalelle I had had vivid dreams again last night too! I dreamt I took a preg test and it was positive -we'll sort of- this is where the vivid bit comes in there was just purple dye everywhere but I distinctly remembered two lines 😂 I think I'm going mad. How are you?

Bezalelle · 24/06/2019 12:51

That is such a funny dream, @aprilclimbs! I can't remember exactly what mine was about, but it left me with a really weird feeling!

Currently on train back home after a couple of weeks with DP (living apart at the moment due to work, which isn't exactly ideal for TTC) - I'm boiling hot and nauseous, but it could just be the weather.

Mother just messaged me to tell me what her early symptoms were when she was pg, which was interesting. She went off coffee and tea. I've been off my tea as well, which might be a good sign!

aprilclimbs · 24/06/2019 13:06

@Bezalelle awh I hope the train ride isn't too long for you!

aprilclimbs · 24/06/2019 13:08

Oops I clicked reply too soon 🤦‍♀️ I too am feeling a little nauseous but I may just be hungry. I have also had bad bowels (sorry tmi) I have been getting some bad tummy ache and needing to go to the toilet a lot.

That sounds really promising, especially if it was a sign for your mum too!

ChikiTIKI · 24/06/2019 22:14

My AF is due tomorrow. I reckon it will come. Best go to bed and see what tomorrow brings I suppose.

I had more vivid dreams last night. Feeling a bit sick again today too. Yawning a lot and burping a bit too ( gross) .

My belly looks bigger... Obviously this couldn't be pregnancy related yet. Probably due to how much I ate on holiday!

OP posts:
ChikiTIKI · 25/06/2019 07:32

No sign of AF yet although I had a dream that AF arrived!

Got annoyed about something at work yesterday and so that's been a helpful distraction.

July seems so far away!!

OP posts:
ChikiTIKI · 25/06/2019 16:44

Still no AF... Feel sick today and got awful heartburn at the moment.

Anyone else got any new symptoms? Xxx

OP posts:
Bezalelle · 25/06/2019 17:02

@ChikiTIKI I'm feeling really nauseous as well - 10 days until AF is due. Really bad mood swings too. I was so emotional earlier, I started crying as I was folding the laundry...

ChikiTIKI · 25/06/2019 17:45

@Bezalelle oh dear sorry to hear you're emotional! I had to hold back the tears yesterday but it was tears of rage I think!!
