Hi ladies ❤️ I don't know how high my chances are of conceiving this month as feel we may have missed our window, however I am 7 days off AF and I know it's to early to test, anyone else want to join the 7 day wait? These last few days are the WORST 😂

Hi @MummyFD

I’m 10dpo (I think) today. I’m still breastfeeding so my cycle is a bit everywhere but I think AF would be due in the next 4-5 days. It feels like torture waiting. I tested yesterday which was negative but I think i was just too early (I hope anyway).
I feel like I’m going insane analysing every little symptom I have!

MummyFD · 21/07/2020 12:52

@Nov19 hi! Yes 10dpo is still early, definitely still time for another line to appear. I have to confess I did a test as well and it was clearly negative 😂 how old is your LO?x

I'm about 9 days off testing and can relate to this being complete torture! I'm not sure we DTD enough tbh, but guess we'll see! Good luck :)

BringMeThatHorizon · 21/07/2020 13:45

I'm about 8dpo I think, AF due ok the 28th. These two weeks go so slowly! Resisting the urge to test as I only have internet cheapies at home and I know they won't show anything this early!

HollowayL30 · 21/07/2020 14:18

Hi I'm due to test on Saturday! My AF is due on Friday. I've done everything we can within my fertile window so just a waiting game now. I so want to test now but just can't bring myself too Smile x

Maybe333 · 21/07/2020 14:38

I'd like to tag along for the wait! I think I'm 8dpo and AF due on Monday. Going to test properly again on Friday.

So I also did a sneaky test today and could have sworn I seen a very very very faint pink line... But... I'm not getting my hopes up because I have 'line eyes' and often see when there's nothing there. I've got my hubby's hopes up twice previously now and then AF appeared soon after so I'm not telling him I've tested this time as I don't want to repeat the same. I just hope I'm right this time 🤞 🤞
Not sure why I do it to myself!!

HollowayL30 · 21/07/2020 15:37

@Maybe333 Aw the wait is so hard isn't it and I swear any little symptom I'm like umm am I? Haha! I had my coil out last month so the bleed I had after I'm assuming it was my period so going off those dates. I did however do one ovulation test on the 11th June and was a very dark red line which I kind of knew I was ovulating as I could just tell so fingers crossed for you all! Looking forward to seeing results this week! Is this your first time trying? X

Maybe333 · 21/07/2020 16:55

I have two DC, both conceived fairly quickly.. Then had the coil for 5years and have now decided we'd like our third little bundle.. This is our 4th cycle ttc this time and I suppose I'm feeling a little nervous it might not happen now since the hormones in the coil etc... Trying to stay positive if I can ☺
What stage is everyone else at?

Nov19 · 21/07/2020 17:58

I have two DC , DS1 who is nearly 5 and DS2 who is 9 months. We’d love a small age gap but I’m worried it won’t happen whilst I’m still breastfeeding. I’ve managed to get breastfeeding down to just mornings so my periods are back but my cycle is a lot longer than it used to be which is annoying. I conceived really quickly with both pregnancies but I have a feeling this time will take a while

HollowayL30 · 21/07/2020 18:59

Hi so I have 3 DC...8,4 and 11 months. The two oldest are with my previous partner. My DH wants two of his own and he has made the youngest a breeze so we thought let's get it out the way, saves us having to put all the baby stuff away properly. This is our first month of trying, the last happened whilst I was on the patch so we joke that I'm really fertile so will be interesting to see how quickly it happens. I only had the coil out last month. My other DC I had a pulling pain in my womb and I haven't had that this time which makes me think it hasn't happened. Has anyone tested early? X

Nov19 · 21/07/2020 20:14

@HollowayL30 I tested yesterday at 9dpo and it was negative ☹️ I knew I shouldn’t. I have more cheap amazon tests arriving tomorrow so I’m going to see if I can hold out Til Thursday. I’ve had some cramps and things I had in my previous pregnancys but not sure if this is just AF gearing up

Leobaby · 21/07/2020 21:01

Hey ladies, I’m 7dpo and due af in 8 days, next Wednesday. So far I’ve had increased appetite, and sore boobs have started today but that’s normal for me. Don’t know what to think tbh!

HollowayL30 · 21/07/2020 21:12

@Nov19 Hey don't let the negative worry you just yet! With my last pregnancy I tested like 2 days before my period and it was negative I only got a positive the day I was due, the FRER gave me the faintest line which I didn't believe as was so unexpected due to being on the patch so there is still hope! My ovulation test said it was strong on the 12th and my app said different, so really I would only be 9dpo like you which is still early as Implantation can happen up to 12 days after! Fingers crossed for you! Keep us all updated! I've felt sick twice but we went camping with the kids at the weekend and not sure it was down to the food Hmm What symptoms have you had? X

Spottybluepyjamas · 21/07/2020 21:16

Me! I'm 7 dpo at the moment and promised myself I wouldn't obsess this month - but here we are! Had sex every day in the fertile week up until ovulation, but missed the actual ovulation day so wondering if I'm out. Fingers crossed for everyone!

Nov19 · 21/07/2020 21:26

@HollowayL30 I’ve been a bit crampy and emotional but that’s about it. In my last pregnancies I’ve had tender breasts but because I’m still breastfeeding i can’t figure out if my boobs feel similar to the way they do when I’ve been pregnant 🤷🏻‍♀️

@Spottybluepyjamas I read online that DTD the day before ovulating is just as good as the day of so I wouldn’t say you were out! I also told myself I wouldn’t obsess too but once you start that’s it!

Leobaby · 21/07/2020 21:33

@Spottybluepyjamas I did exactly the same as well.. so we’ll see for us both!

3isthemagic · 21/07/2020 21:47

Hi

Can I join this thread? TTC no2 for 3+ years (lost count of how many cycles 😂). I'm 8dpo with AF due on Sunday. Trying to hold out til at least Friday before testing but I already feel a bit crampy so think I'm out!

Fingers crossed for your BFPs x

HollowayL30 · 21/07/2020 21:51

@Nov19 I've had tender breast today but not sure if it's just me wishful thinking too! Hahah! I said to myself I wouldn't stress and let it just happen but I'm addicted to reading all these posts and seeing peoples updates 😂

@Spottybluepyjamas I would say yourll be fine, like you say you done it everyday and sperm can live for up to 5 days so the night before you ovulate is what they say is best!

Me and my DH are going out for dinner Saturday ( if I haven't come on) and taking a test with us to do as abit of fun, since I had my coil out I'm
Not even sure what day to count as a bleed as it was literally that night it was out so not sure if I bleed then from just having it out or it was my actual period. 🤷🏼‍♀️

Nov19 · 22/07/2020 07:50

@HollowayL30 good luck! would be lovely if you found out while you were out on Saturday.

I’ve got some amazon cheapies coming today, but I’ve ordered a brand I’ve not tried as my last ones gave me a false positive a few days ago. I’ve had some more very light cramping which I’m hoping isn’t AF. Since breastfeeding (although I only feed in the mornings) my cycle has came back a lot longer than pre baby. Roughly about 2 weeks longer than normal which is making ttc seem a little more frustrating as I wish my cycle was the 28 days I’m used to.

MummyFD · 22/07/2020 08:02

Hi ladies - wow a lot of us in the same position! I did another cheapie this morning (9dpo) and swear I can see something, anyone else? May just be going crazy - please don't tell me I'm the only one whose already started testing 🤪

7 days until AF, anyone else?
OP posts:
Spottybluepyjamas · 22/07/2020 09:39

@MummyFD I can definitely see something! Try again tomorrow morning - hopefully it'll be darker!

Nov19 · 22/07/2020 10:23

@MummyFD I see something!! I have my fingers crossed this is it for you!

I think I’m going to do a test later on when they arrive from amazon. I don’t think this month will be my month so I want the disappointment out the way.

MummyFD · 22/07/2020 10:45

Thank you @Spottybluepyjamas 🥰
@Nov19 you never know, I'm excited to see how you go! Sometimes it's nice just to one and scratch the itch almost...but sometimes it makes it worse when you start seeing lines 😂 x

Leobaby · 22/07/2020 12:16

@MummyFD deffo see something! No I stupidly did a test last night, a line appeared. Red, would deffo say it was very faint positive but this morning bfn on frer and cheapie. I’m 8dpo. Just confused about the line last night

Leobaby · 22/07/2020 12:22

This was last night with 7dpo evening urine. Did a test today it’s as white as it can be ☹️
