Early December testing?

[Laur89]

@Gigi318 @Ellsbells112 @Gems7 new post girls! How are you all? I can't remember who else to tag!

@robbo93 Just checked back through the last couple of pages but am I right in thinking you haven't taken a test yet?

@FingersCrossedXXX I bliddy wish I had that much self control!! I last took a test Monday morning which was BFN - when I was either 14 or 11DPO xx

@Robbo93 When you planning to take the next one?

@FingersCrossedXXX I want have a serious POAS addiction so every time I go to the toilet 🤦🏻‍♀️ I might pee in a cup tomorrow morning and save it for when DH gets home in the evening to do another test if nothing by then
I've had another pinprick of blood this evening, and I mean pinprick you'd need a magnifying glass to see it 🤣

Took a cheap test this morn and BFN. Guessing this nausea I'm feeling in waves is down to the cold I've developed 🤧 just praying AF comes soon so I can start again and actually know what's going on!

@Robbo93 Sorry on your negative and the cold you seem to be developing. Maybe just try and wait it out now and see if AF arrives....easier said than done I am sure!

@Jemma18 Have you taken any more tests or has AF arrived yet?

Thank you ladies for your advise about taken the tests apart.... I wont be doing it again 🙈
@FingersCrossedXXX I am 2 days late for AF did a test yesterday and still bfn I have been cramping like AF is going to arrive for the last few days but nothing yet. It's so confusing lol
How are you? :)

@FingersCrossedXXX thanks my lovely. Yes, just got to be patient and wait for AF to arrive I suppose. Still nothing yet and CD36 😭

@Jemma18 How annoying, i'd rather AF turn up on the exact day it was supposed too than get my hopes up by being late!

CD19 for me and still no positive OPK. Ovulation just keeps getting pushed further and further back as well as my period.

The frustrating thing about the cycles being so long is it just means more time waiting! Firstly having to wait for ovulation and then again for a period. I also don't want ovulation to take a long time and then have a short luteal phase as that can make it harder to conceive.

@FingersCrossedXXX sounds like my cycles hun which is why I thought I'd try the b6 tablets this month as they are meant to neutralise your hormones etc. I think it's deffo worked with making my LP longer...... although dunno how long haha xx

@FingersCrossedXXX oh I know! Making the waiting game more longer for us. I totally get you with past ovulation days. I feel like mine are less than they should be too.

AF arrived for me this morning in full swing :( . 3 days late but at least I know where I stand now and I can stop the addictive POAS 😂

Any news for anyone else?

Hey girls, think I'm about 4 days late for AF and no sign of her... bfn on test this morning! Feel like she's on her way cos getting cramps but nothing yet!

No af either, due any time from today untill 🤷‍♀️ but will test in early December,aybr even the second week to be certain if it doesn't show. Is eveyone testing in November then? Think I'm on the wrong thread if you guys are all testing now

@JEMMA18 Never mind, hopefully next month is your month!

@Laur89 Sorry on your negative. Least you should know one way or another pretty soon if AF shows up!

@Champoopapi I won't be testing until around the 4th Dec based on my current cycle!

I've got a question for you ladies.

Our work has our Christmas party soon (we're having it early as we're not a huge company and quite a few poeple break up for Xmas early). All of our work events are always pretty boozy and I know this year will be no different.

By the time of the event, I'd be around 4dpo. Would you drink?

It'll be so bloomin obvious if I don't drink and obviously wouldn't want work to know anything yet, especially when the likelihood is that it might not even be my month! Also too early to test as a precaution!

@FingerscrossedXXX i wouldn't go heavy atall but i perhaps would have 1. I try not to drink during tww but i would have 1 if it was an event. Absolutley no more than 1 for me though (personal opinion better to be safe than sorry)

Hey ladies hope all is well? I'm cd5 now, just waiting till cd8 till get SMEP started.

@FingersCrossedXXX it depends on you really... I mean at 4dpo you probably won't be implanting and alcohol only affects once you're 6 weeks if I recall correctly but I personally think if you get drunk it could affect implantation? I mean it must do? I don't know 🤔 but each to their own. I was on a hen do during my 2ww a month ago and well safe to say I drank a lot lol
I'm even cutting right back on caffeine during this 2ww, I'm going to do anything and everything and see if it makes a difference 🤷‍♀️

Thanks for your replies ladies @Anny27 and @Ellsbells112

Yeah it's a difficult one because I would still like to be able to relax and enjoy myself because for all I know, it may take years to conceive but I am also worried about ruining implantation! Its a tricky one, might just see how I feel on the night and aim to take it easy.

After this month by TWW is due to start on Christmas Day!

@fingerscrossedXXX
Yeah I know what you mean just see how you feel on the night! I'm fertile end of next week and then Christmas if this one doesn't workout lol it says I'll ovulate on the 30th December, I'll be flying back to London on 31st so I hope it doesn't affect my chances (again that's if it doesn't work this time around lol fingers crossed it does!!) I'm also hoping my period doesn't come when I'm out there I'm literally due on when we are on the island in Cairns I will bloody cry haha
What cycle day are you?

@Ellsbells112 Oh no, you don't want to be on your period when you are there!! God I'm so jealous of your Christmas break!

Cycle day 20. I had my darkest line so far this morning, though still negative. Going to try again now!

@fingerscrossedXXX
Annoying, make sure you dtd as much as possible lol any other signs like ewcm or pain?

@FingersCrossedXXX oh I'd definitely drink, its definitely a personal choice but it's not going to effect getting pregnant or anything that's happening at this stage. Life doesn't need to stop, you must keep living how you would normally surely! If that's not drinking then that's the way to go forward, or of you have issues with alcohol then of course it's a no brainier to try and be very careful.

But if non of above I'd be in party mode for sure. Might be the last time for bloody years so I'd be in those glad rags dancing and toasting 🍾

@ChampooPapi Haha, that made me chuckle and is so true. It is Christmas after all, not the easiest time to cut down on drinking all together and I do enjoy a night out with the work lot.

@Ellsbells112 A teeny bit of CM earlier this morning which was white but not sure too sure of texture as was only a teeny bit. The OPK I took late afternoon as really faint again so I don't know. Starting to think I'll never see a positive one!

@FingersCrossedXXX
That's really annoying. I guess all you can do is have as much sex as possible lol
