Why is it so impossible to just relax and forget about it until AF does or doesn't (hopefully doesn't!!) show up....

If anyone else is around the same timing as me would be lovely to have some tww buddies x

@MrsCl19 congratulations!!! We will probably be due around the same time 😀

@Whyhaveidonethis I'm so sorry to hear that 😓💔

MrsCl19 · 14/02/2020 11:36

@Whyhaveidonethis I'm so sorry sending lots of hugs!!

Morning ladies. I done a FRER this morning and it was a BFN 😢 nothing on there, not a hint of a line. I think I ovulated last Wed from my ovulation sticks. AF is due Thursday according to my app so will wait and see as to when she decides to raise her ugly head xxx

Sorry @GeLe. You're around 10 dpo right? Maybe it's just too early

I think so...my positive OPKs were Monday the 3rd and Tuesday 4th of Feb. So I was thinking O may have been Wed 5th.

Had some pink cm this morning and last night but I really think it's pre menstrual. Will just need to wait and see. Trying not to be too disheartened. Keep positive and if AF comes, there's always next month. This is what I keep telling myself over and over but it's hard not to feel gutted xx

AF for me this morning bang on time so I'm out. On to next month if my sperm donor is available.

Thanks. Donor can’t make next fertile window. Doing this on my own is not the easiest thing in the world.

Never thought I would find myself on a forum discussing this but here I am!

This is my first month of TTC and even though we only managed one try during my window (either on or before OV day) due to OH working away I’m already driving myself crazy symptom spotting. Since ov I’ve been bloated, cramping, nauseous, crazy dreams and as of today I’ve now got sore boobs. I feel like all rational thinking has gone out the window as I know the chance will be minimal! Hoping I’ve just gone this crazy over it as it was my first time TTC, was anyone else the same? AF due 22/01 so may test in a few days to put myself out of my misery? Already ordered some FRER. I feel very out of my depth - probably should have researched!

xbambi · 16/02/2020 01:02

Sorry should have said AF due 22/02

MrsCl19 · 16/02/2020 05:50

@bitheby stay strong doing it on your on must be hard but you've got this!

@Fifol how are you feeling??

@xbambi the ttc business is honestly so crazy, once you start it's like an addiction I have a poas addiction

RG1805 · 16/02/2020 09:48

Morning everyone,

I'm now 11 DPO and really want to test but not sure if it's too early? AF is due on Wednesday (19th) - should I give it a go or just wait?

@bitheby yes must be so hard, keep the faith though (easier said than done I know)

@MrsCl19 I'm ok boobs still killing me, have been pretty much very tender since ovulation worse the last couple of days, not normally like this so obviously I'm reading into that might not mean a thing! Af due between tomorrow and weds so fingers crossed she will be staying away! I held out over this weekend and didnt test though so just hoping now and keeping everything crossed. How are you, all still well?!

@RG1805 I waited and not testing until hopefully af late. If you feel able to handle if it's a bfn though then do it. Could still be too early though. I would hold out if you can!

MrsCl19 · 16/02/2020 10:13

@Fifol yes did another test and it's a lot dark today 🤞🏼

@RG1805 I'm a poas addict and I would say although I'm happy I have a bfp I wish I'd waited because I'm a nervous wreck 🤣

@MrsCl19 super news! Hope I'll be joining you in a few days!

OP posts:
Hopefulhen · 16/02/2020 11:09

Can I join too? It’s my first cycle of TTC. I think I’m 6 DPO today. I have a longer cycle so not due period until 22/23 Feb. Not sure when I can actually test?? The first response website says test in 2/3 days but that seems very soon?
I just don’t feel pregnant. Yesterday I had a strange metallic taste in my mouth and convinced myself I was, but today I feel normal. I’m scared I’ll be very disappointed. I wish I’d bought those ovulation tests online and made sure I was actually ovulating!

RG1805 · 16/02/2020 11:35

Thank you @MrsCl19 and @Fifol I think I’m going to wait! Halo

MrsCl19 · 16/02/2020 11:55

@Fifol me to! I hope a few of you will be

GeLe · 16/02/2020 12:55

Aww good luck to you all ❤️❤️

Yesterday I started spotting brown and today is the same. My period isn't due until Thursday so I think it's starting to come on early. Back on the wagon for next month it seems xxx

Willow146 · 16/02/2020 12:59

@Hopefulhen I'm also 6dpo (I think) . I'm so impatient. We got this!! 🤞🏼 x

Hopefulhen · 16/02/2020 22:20

@Willow146 - Fingers crossed! When are you planning on testing?

I had very bad cramps that kept me awake during the night so was sure AF would have arrived by morning, nothing yet thankfully! Its gonna be a long few days of keeping her away!

OP posts:
Hopefulhen · 18/02/2020 00:57

Anything yet?
8 DPO today and I stupidly tested even though I know it’s likely too soon even if I am pregnant. Very definite BFN. I feel a bit deflated still.

MrsCl19 · 18/02/2020 05:51

@Hopefulhen stay positive I did a cheapie at 8dpo and it was stark white! 9dpo a faint line so don't loose hope yet

Hopefulhen · 18/02/2020 12:29

Thank you @MrsCl19. Congrats, crossing my fingers and toes!
