Hi Ladies, is anybody testing in the next few days? I thought I could wait longer as I'm only 6 dpo but it is killing me this month so I won't last long Grin x

Hi!! Smile

The wait is awful isn't it? I'm 10dpo (my apps are saying different days) and trying to hold off until Saturday or Sunday to test. When is your AF due?

Olivebranch26 · 29/10/2020 17:38

@JenC95 Hi Jen, to be honest I think your doing great just to get to 10dpo and not test Grin I'm only 7 dpo I think but I have irregular cycles so I can't say for sure. With my previous pregnancies (I've had a few mc and my DD) I tested positive at 8dpo with cheapies which is quite early.. I'm definitely going to try and wait longer this time as the disappointment can be hard to bear. Good job for trying to hold out for the weekend, ill try my best with you Smile x

My cycles were irregular as well two years ago when I wasn’t on any contraception, they went from 28 days to sometimes 40 so I know how it feels! I came off my pill at the end of Sept so no idea how long this cycle will be, also if anything happens this month it’ll be very lucky and a huge surprise for that reason alone. But the wait is starting to get to me now so definitely testing in the morning.
Much love and baby dust to you Smile x

Give it a try why not!! 😂🤷🏼‍♀️. I’ve been trying for only a few weeks. Today, I am 9 days past ovulation and test positive. Very faint line but visible.

Good luck!!!

JenC95 · 30/10/2020 16:52

Ahh how exciting!!

Are you doing another test tomorrow do you think? We'll keep each other posted for sure!

@RaeBae Hi, thats great that you have gotten you BFP, you must be thrilled. And so quickly too, go you! Smile

@galatea098 Wow you've managed to hold off testing for a while, well done lol I wish I could. Sorry your not feeling very positive, I feel the same this month too and it is definitely getting me down. I always feel a bit better when AF arrives as its onto the next cycle, but having irregular ones means I never know how long that will be Sad

@JenC95 Oh I know it drives me mad having long cycles, as if ttc didn't test my patients enough Wink I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you, wouldn't that be great if you got your BFP right away. Good luck with testing, I think I will be either tomorrow or Sunday if I can wait.

@galatea098 Oh no it does get to that point especially after ttc for a while, are you temping at all, is this your first? I hope that witch stays away for you! X

JenC95 · 31/10/2020 06:22

@galatea098 aww lovely, keep those hopes up and positive vibes going. I know it’s so hard but it may just be the month for you!

Officially 12dpo today so going to test this morning. I’ve not really had any symptoms a part from tender breasts and really restless sleep the last week (is that even a symptom or am I just hoping it is? Haha) and my temps have stayed high except a dip yesterday but seems to have gone back up this morning! Fingers crossed and good luck to both of you!

Olivebranch26 · 31/10/2020 08:28

Well Ladies, I caved and tested this morning. BFN, gutted but I think I was expecting it, I am still only 10dpo so you never know I'll try again in a few days. Hope you are having more luck @JenC95 🤞 for you.

Hi everyone, I've tested this morning 6/7 dpo and got a faint positive with a cheap sensitive test. Bloated with gentle cramping and creamy discharge this afternoon.
Excited and worried with such an early positive.

JenC95 · 31/10/2020 16:29

Afternoon ladies!

So I've done two tests - one this morning with a FRER and was a BFP and another this afternoon, just a regular first response test and again a BFP 12dpo!! AF would be due on Monday/Tuesday so hoping this little bean keeps sticking and will test again with clear blue next week. Just trying to figure out a way to tell my fiance, I'm so shocked and excited. Keep going back to look at the tests thinking the second lines aren't there...

@galatea098 I know exactly how you feel, I had a miscarriage and two days later my sister announced she was pregnant. It's hard not to feel deflated when announcements are made around you and wishing it was yourself. It's okay to feel a little bitter, I would be as well, no shame in it. Your time will come and so will yours @Olivebranch26, I have all the faith!

@sweets08 Congratulations, that is great!!

@galatea098 Oh I'm sorry you didn't get your bfp. Its so hard when others around you get pregnant especially when it feels like everybody but you are! Maybe treat yourself this month, do something for yourself (not easy with the lockdown) try to build up that positivity for next month and give it your all. I'm really wishing for you Smile

@sweets08 Ooh that sounds very promising, keep us updated with how you get on? How exciting!

@JenC95 Wow they are great lines on those tests! Congratulations you must be thrilled. Wishing you all the best, 🤞 for your sticky bean.

Hi Ladies, last night is started getting some cramps on and off just like period pains but I'm not due for at least 4 days. I had a cheap test in the house and it had the faintest shadow I've ever seen, but my hubby could see it too! I'm really hoping there is still a chance for me as I'm early so I've sent him shop to get me a test and I'll be taking it today. I'm excited but soo nervous that I've gotten my hopes up for nothing... wish me luck, I'll need it Grin

@Olivebranch26 that's so exciting! I hope the other test goes well and you get the result you're hoping for!

@galatea098 so sorry to hear that dear, a positive attitude towards the next cycle is the best way forward so well done for that! Fingers crossed for this next cycle, I always find decorating therapeutic and distracting so hope that all goes well for you!

Olivebranch26 · 01/11/2020 10:31

I'm still waiting for a test its killing me lol, being Sunday making me wait for the shops to open. I've had quite a few chemicals so I'm nervous that if there isn't a line on the test today its probably not a good sign but won't give up hope till AF shows anyway. To be honest if its a chemical I'll be gutted but as long as I don't have another ectopic I'm happy as that was an awful experience. Only worrying as I've had quite a bit of one sided pain but I suppose pains in early pregnancy can be normal? If I am even pregnant, ahh I'm too impatient I need to get a test Grin when will I ever learn not to test early 🤦‍♀️

@galatea098 Its darker and pink in person too, glad you can see it though. Thank you, I really pray this is my sticky bean as we have been trying a looong time. I'm so thrilled and terrified at the same time.
