Yep it works doesn't it for those first few days when you a get the urge to test.
Yes maybe do Friday morning or if you can be super strong and hold off it will be Monday and you'll be closer to 2 weeks.

@lamby12 I'll see how I feel Thursday night. Keep you posted!

Crayon7 · 21/07/2020 18:56

I am only like 1dpo and it feels like I am constantly waiting past 18cycles. For TWW, for ovulation, for testing... ahh!

Aokbaby · 21/07/2020 19:55

@lamby12 @notyetamumbuttrying going good, really trying not to symptom spot but that's never easy. Not gonna test, I'll wait for af to show up, hopefully not but time will tell 🤞

Tink2019 · 21/07/2020 20:39

Me too @Crayon7 - the last 10 months (since we started trying) has flown by - like you said it's waiting for O, TWW, waiting for AF. I'm CD13 and already fed up of waiting for O, but it's normally another 7 days or so yet for me 🤦🏼‍♀️

Plus, I'm also now waiting for the weekend... to hear from @Aokbaby @notyetamumbuttrying and @lamby12 of course🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻

notyetamumbuttrying · 21/07/2020 20:57

Eek 😬 @Tink2019 don't hold out much hope for me 😂 although saying that I always let myself think it will happen even tho it's always been disappointment month and after month. The closer I get to 12 months the more hopeful I get as I'm convinced I'll be within the year statistic!
Will you wait until FW before dtd or do you get on it from now?
@Aokbaby well done on waiting before testing. I'll likely do day before AF, maybe 2 days before, still deciding.

Tink2019 · 21/07/2020 21:19

@notyetamumbuttrying I have a feeling for this month, it's time for a few BFPs as so many of us are getting close to the year mark...no pressure 😉

We've always been fairly active so pretty much do it every other day or two anyway which is good because I never have a clue when my fertile week is - O'd CD15 cycle before last then CD25 last cycle!

Aokbaby · 21/07/2020 21:26

@notyetamumbuttrying it's not easy lol!! I have ic tests and going to test on Tues if no sign of af (I spot a couple of days before, so expecting that and then I'll not even have to test ☹️) hopefully not💕

@Tink2019 ahh you're so right, we are due some bfp's on here 🤞🤞

notyetamumbuttrying · 21/07/2020 21:48

@Tink2019 oh it would be so wonderful wouldn't it! I just can't hope too much cos the bfn and af is just so crushing 😩 I'd rather think the worst sometimes. So hard not to have the glimmer of hope tho.
Ah good you're active then! We've had to up it as we were once a week before ttc.
@Aokbaby I'm due on Tuesday so best of luck to us both! And all testing at the weekend!!🤞🏾

lamby12 · 21/07/2020 22:48

Thanks @Tink2019 and good luck to us @notyetamumbuttrying and @Aokbaby

I do feel a bit like AF is on the way though, and my cycles can be anything from 23 days upwards so tomorrow could easily be the day Sad
Whilst there's soooo many problems with early testing sometimes I feel testing and getting the BFN helps me just mentally process this month is over (even though I still hang onto the possibility it was too early!) but it does help bring down the expectation a bit and maybe less of a shock when AF turns up. That's my argument for early testing....Grin

notyetamumbuttrying · 21/07/2020 23:12

@lamby12 it makes sense to me! 😁

lamby12 · 22/07/2020 16:06

Bad news for me ladies I think I'm out for the month. Had some spotting this morning.
When I was pregnant with my daughter I had spotting around AF time and it didn't get heavy, I then got my BFP. Usually AF just arrives for me in a very obvious way and is immediately heavy, so it's odd that I have spotted and haven't come full flow yet... However I have lots of cramping and that familiar heavy feeling so I'm fairly certain. I'll know by tomorrow if it's carried on but it's likely I'm out.
I'm not as disappointed as other months, I'm glad I wasn't kept waiting 'late' this month to start getting hopeful.
@notyetamumbuttrying @Aokbaby good luck to you both still in TWW!

lamby12 · 22/07/2020 16:08

...oh and so I roll into the 12th cycle!

notyetamumbuttrying · 22/07/2020 16:35

@lamby12 ah sorry to hear lovely! Thank you. Not due on until Tuesday so now starts the resistance to poas Grin

Aokbaby · 22/07/2020 19:05

Aw sorry to hear @lamby12, thanks so much, not getting my hopes up though, we'll see come Tuesday 🤞🤞

Dbop100 · 22/07/2020 20:03

Ahh sorry to hear that @lamby12 but yes a short cycle is a blessing sometimes, the not knowing is the worst. I'm on cycle 12 now your not alone x

7dpo today and I'm already symptom spotting / trying not to test / googling a million things - I was totally chill last week, but this last week always does my head in 🤯

Tink2019 · 22/07/2020 21:18

Oh that rubbish @lamby12 - keep us posted tomorrow, you're not out until AF rears her ugly head x

lamby12 · 22/07/2020 22:11

@Tink2019 yes is definitely AF for me now. Damn.
Good luck @Dbop100 too, yes the second week is always the worst!!

Time seems to be barrelling by month by month, just not in the TWW Sad

Tink2019 · 22/07/2020 22:56

Oh I'm sorry @lamby12 ☹️ x

Aokbaby · 23/07/2020 19:57

@Dbop100 @notyetamumbuttrying how you ladies doing today? Really really trying not to symptom spot here😣😣 I keep saying, I'll just Google this one thing, totally trying to kid myself!!

Dbop100 · 23/07/2020 20:14

@Aokbaby oh well 8DPO and my mind is racing, one min I'm sure it's not happening the next I'm like BUT WHAT IF?! Just keep telling myself it's way too early to trust any symptoms. I read somewhere that on average 9DPO is when implantation happens anyway. Works been mental busy so at least that's keeping my mind off it for about 50% of the time at least 🤯

notyetamumbuttrying · 23/07/2020 22:23

@Aokbaby lol tough isn't it! 9dpo and testing on Saturday even tho I know it's pointless 😂 such fun eh!

KK251289 · 24/07/2020 00:16

@lamby12 so sorry AF has arrived, I'm on CD 4 now and on cycle 12 with you xx

@notyetamumbuttrying wishing you all the luck in the world for when you test this weekend xx

Aokbaby · 24/07/2020 07:58

@Dbop100 @notyetamumbuttrying I'm out too, usual spotting arrived today so af on her way probably tomorrow or sun🙄best of luck to you both 💕 x

lamby12 · 24/07/2020 09:44

Thanks @Tink2019 and everyone.
AF is in full flow now (literally...) and feeling sooo rubbish physically. I swear as time goes on TTC the worse they are with headache, pains, sluggishness etc ! But probably just my imagination.

@KK251289 I'm cd 2 so we're together this cycle then! And @Aokbaby sorry you're out too 

@notyetamumbuttrying did you test this morning in the end?
