Struggling to wait

Anyone in the same boat? Period due 19th, when is the earliest I can realistically test?

Don't think I can wait till 19th lol

@girlanonymous I'm sure it was just too early. It's like torture this wait!!

I must admit I have learnt a lot with the Ava bracelet. It's shown me that we were timing sex all wrong as I don't ovulate until cd16-19 which are exactly the days we would just do NOTHING!
I suppose any temping method would have given me the same info but Ava just takes the hassle out of taking BBT reliably.

Also keeping an eye on the temps after ovulation has previously helped me to detect/recognise a pregnancy fairly early.

Obviously, nothing is absolutely definitive when it comes to conception and pregnancy as there are many variables but I've found the Ava device to be very useful.

@Dia12 I've had a few little things but I worry that I'm just being overly sensitive. I have definitely had a weird ache down there for a few days but it's not in my belly so I'm not sure what that could be! Also I have felt faint nausea and also felt faint today whenever I stood up. I'm sure these are things that happen every month but I'm just paying attention to everything now!

Are the frers better than the clear book early ones? I only have the clear blue pack.

@molemummy no it will be my second. I have a 3 year old and had a missed miscarriage last year at 12+weeks

@molemummy

I know! Kinda annoyed but I'm going to buy the first response early detection and test Monday morning.

The symptoms I'm getting are very similar to pms so it's so hard to tell them apart. obviously without the bleeding.

Hey guys, how are you all coping?

7dpo today for me and temps remain high and keeping me hopeful but it's usually from this point that my temps start to slowly decline....so need to just wait and see.

No other symptoms whatsoever!!

Michellebops · 14/07/2019 13:31

I'm currently 8/9 dpo and no symptoms

molemummy · 14/07/2019 14:07

@Michellebops same! Anyone testing before AF date?

sao811 · 14/07/2019 14:56

Hi, im 7dpo and feel like im going insane! Done a test this morning knowing itd be a bfn but just couldn't help myself. Been getting a few cramps today but not due AF until 21st so dont know if its a good thing

Rosetinted47 · 15/07/2019 08:24

My AF is due 20th. Desperately trying not to POAS. Last week was manageable as I was so busy but this week will be a struggle. Let's keep each other strong!

molemummy · 15/07/2019 09:20

@sao811 @Rosetinted47 is this your first you're trying for?

I literally don't feel any symptoms at all other than 'week before AF' PMT! So I think I'm out this month any way.

Rosetinted47 · 15/07/2019 12:10

@molemummy it's my third. DD took 8 cycles, DS 2 cycles, now on cycle 5 for this one.

Wish i knew when i ovulated, as I was ill straight after my last AF so we didn't get a lot of time to BD and i tend to ovulate early i think.

@Dia12 sounds like that has been a rollercoaster of a few months for you hope you get your BFP soon!

Dia12 · 15/07/2019 16:27

Thanks @Rosetinted47 ...get temping! It's a bit of pain but you get a good idea of ovulation. I wish we were able to just BD every other day across the whole month but wow has TTC taken the fun out of that and with work etc it's just near enough impossible to do it so frequently! How sad!

Stay positive @molemummy - it's not over till it's over Wink
