@MummyToPrince I would try and wait if you can! Especially if the tests are few and far between where you live! Each day feels like a lifetime in this situation 😂

MummyToPrince · 30/09/2020 11:59

@RBCoxie Exactly :-) 1 days feels like 5 😂 my boobs are super veiny and still a bit sore, however I feel heavy down there like AF heavy but I remember when I fell pregnant with my son I felt like AF was going to happen and it never did

I think I'm going stir crazy with testing 3 tests have very faint lines not sure if the 2 frer are indents or not but they look pink, im a little more obsessed with testing then I first thought Hmm Blush

MummyToPrince · 30/09/2020 12:17

@robodo I've gone past the crazy stage and about to flush my head in the toilet 😂🤦‍♀️

@MummyToPrince its crazy how carried away we get isn't it ive spent so much money on tests Hmm

MummyToPrince · 30/09/2020 12:26

@robodo I haven't spent much this month because I already had a stash 😂 however I didn't have FRER but I now have 2, hopefully my faint line turns into something tomorrow 🤦‍♀️ if not I'm going in the bin

I would wait, but completely understand the need to test, so I would say do the thing that you think sits better with you, you know yourself best x

MummyToPrince · 30/09/2020 13:56

@Supermathsdoc I'm going to wait until the morning, I got a faint line yesterday but today I'm feeling heavy in my uterus, not sure if that's a good orr bad thing but we will find out in the morning :-) x

@SparklePrincess Thank you, apart from going stir crazy and probably imagining symptoms I'm good, although when I went to the loo earlier I had a little bit of sticky, stringy, slightly yellow CM (TMI sorry) so hoping it's good sign 🤷‍♀️. So sorry to see AF started for you today, sending so much baby dust for you next month 💕! 🤣🤣 I'd probably Google the same thing to be fair Haha! The urge to test is just so strong even though I know it's too early

Supermathsdoc · 30/09/2020 17:09

I’ve also had more of my usual AF symptoms today, a general sort of heavy feeling and feeling quite short tempered at work! Trying to stay somewhat optimistic but I don’t think I’ll be celebrating tomorrow .....

proteacat · 30/09/2020 17:16

Hi!

I'd love to join in please?

TTC baby 2 and ovulated on 19th according to Flo. Don't know how accurate that is as I didn't test and have only been following my cycle since I stopped bf and got AF back in April / May.

Been having lots of funny cramping feelings but not sure if I'm just overthinking and getting excited..!

AF due on Monday so don't know if I can wait to test but also trying to be realistic. How's everyone feeling?

MummyToPrince · 30/09/2020 17:44

@Supermathsdoc I also feel heavy and cramoy down there but I'm also peeing a lot and feel wet🤦‍♀️ watery/creamy cm sore boobs and back back ache... I don't think I will be celebrating tomorrow but we will see what happens we never know

@proteacat of course you can hun, I got my hopes up yesterday as I had a faint line, but testing tomorrow with FRER, I will be 14dpo tomorrow I have no patience 😂🤦‍♀️

proteacat · 30/09/2020 17:55

Crossing everything for you!

I’ve been so irritable the last few days but that could be pms..! The symptoms are so similar 😅.

I was really lucky last time - first cycle and didn’t even think to test until AF was late!

This time I know so much more about ovulation etc which makes this 2ww so difficult 🤦🏻‍♀️

MummyToPrince · 30/09/2020 17:59

@proteacat yeah with my last pregnancy I didn't test until the day before AF but I just knew, my boobs are never sore and that's how I knew but this time it's like I have an addiction 😂🤦‍♀️ the tww feels like Two Years Long 😂

OP posts:
MummyToPrince · 30/09/2020 18:00

I have everything crossed for you too

OP posts:
RBCoxie · 30/09/2020 18:32

@MummyToPrince sounds like you're having similar symptoms to your first pregnancy! Keeping everything crossed for you tomorrow.

@Supermathsdoc I've been in a foul mood all day 😂 my poor OH! I'm not feeling overly positive about tomorrow either to be honest - I'm being a right negative nelly today! Well done on holding out on testing - I don't know how you did it!!

@proteacat welcome! As I've found out the hard way, it's definitely better to wait as long as you can before testing. I had a faint line yesterday and a BFN today. It really got me down so I wish I'd never tested to begin with and just waited until my AF was due! You've gotta do what you feel is right though! 😊

BellaBella84 · 30/09/2020 19:41

Oh my days I leave this thread for like 11 hours?! Sorry for all of you who have managed to totally lose the plot today. 🤪 I've only managed to not pee on a stick due to insane busyness combined with standard work related dehydration 🤦‍♀️ I think I'll manage not to test this evening unless one of you has a fork lift truck to get my arse off the sofa! 🙄

Supermathsdoc · 30/09/2020 19:58

It would be so amazing if we all got our BFP‘S with our different testing strategies and different symptoms (or lack of in my case) !

Everything crossed for everyone. I’ve found this such a supportive group, it’s so nice to have people not only in a similar boat, but at the same time

@RBCoxie I’ve definitely been tempted but I just know how I’d feel with a BFN so in a way it’s easier to cling on to hope when the answer is unknown....

MummyToPrince · 30/09/2020 20:07

@Supermathsdoc Couldn't agree more with you, I'm soo hoping to see bfps tomorrow! I absolutely love this group, there's no Karen's or TTC police 😂🤦‍♀️

@RBCoxie my partner said "are you and your ladies all in sync" because we got near enough the same 😂

What's everyone testing with tomorrow?

OP posts:
BellaBella84 · 30/09/2020 20:13

@MummyToPrince My trusty FRER is at the ready, best I'm awake at 4 am on my day off! I am so nervous for tomorrow I actually feel a bit sick 🤢

Also what's Karen's and TTC police?

BellaBella84 · 30/09/2020 20:17

That meant to read bet I'm awake, but best reads pretty accurately too! 🤣

MummyToPrince · 30/09/2020 20:19

@BellaBella84 I searched so many shops yesterday trying to get FRER and because of covid everyone is stock piling so couldn't get any but managed to get 2 today! I'm super nervous and feel sick too but a part of me is excited! I woke up at 5 this morning!!

Karen's and TTC police are those that comment and think they wrote the rules on how you should and shouldn't be feeling and comment inconvenient things if you test early or if you suggest that you may have a symptom and they turn it all negative.. I'm sorry if that sounds bad but I've come across a few of them on here 🤦‍♀️

OP posts:
Supermathsdoc · 30/09/2020 20:19

@BellaBella84 @MummyToPrince I have the same question, who are the TTC police and what do they do??

For testing tomorrow I have some one step 10IU/mL that are pink dye (I bulk bought 20!). I also have a sneaky FRER but I’m only planning to use that if the cheapie is unclear And will force myself to wait another 2 days!
Otherwise for me the expenses really start to rack up...

RBCoxie · 30/09/2020 20:25

@BellaBella84 😂😂 sorry!! That sums me up tbh - totally lost the plot. I've found this group so helpful - thank you all so far ladies 💕 hope you're okay though! Work sounds crazy busy!

RBCoxie · 30/09/2020 20:27

@MummyToPrince I was thinking the same thing about this group! It's so lovely not to have any judgement! I'm definitely testing tomorrow with a FRER - there's no point even trying to deny it at this stage 😂 x
