Currently 11/12 dpo. Expecting the witch on Thursday and trying my best not to waste money on test until she is late!!
Distracting myself by reading books, long walks and eating lots...
Anyone else coming up for test day?

I am supposed to be testing on Thursday or Friday. Tested this morning and last night (twice) bfn. Trying to distract myself but failing miserably.
This is my first serious cycle trying and I have a DD who has just turned 1

Curiosity101 · 29/12/2020 14:37

I was meant to be starting tomorrow (10 DPO) but gave in and tested yesterday morning and this morning. Both BFN but at 8/9 DPO with ICs it doesn't mean much. I'm going to keep testing until AF is due on Sunday.

Rumples · 29/12/2020 14:59

I'm 12dpo and I'm going to pop to the shop and pick up a test when I finish work and try and wait until the morning to test.

Purposely don't keep any in the house as I have no self control!

This is our first cycle trying since MMC in October so trying to stay level headed.

9DPO here! Desperately wanting it to happen so of course I took a test this morning and nothing...don't know why I bothered, just have to scratch that itch. Got about 4 more days yet if you count today. Baby dust to all! Anyone have symptoms? I've nothing this month. When I conceived my DD I had all sorts of twitching and cramping before AF so I'm feeling a bit discouraged, maybe I'm just being silly.

Idreamof2more · 29/12/2020 17:05

I am 11 dpo af due Friday. I am determined not to test until af is late to save the heartache and stress although it’s killing me.
Don’t feel pg at all no symptoms at all. X

Fluffygreyjumper · 29/12/2020 17:16

It was my first proper cycle last month and I got so so obsessed with testing (including during AF just in case I was one of the women you read about in magazines who get periods despite being pregnant).
It got me so down and was all for nothing as AF came. But 100% get the POAS addiction!

I don't have any symptoms, had mild breast tenderness for a few days but think that was due to progesterone rise. Thats almost gone now. Had 8 days of pre AF cramps last cycle so taking it as positive.

Good luck ladies x

Baby dust to everyone! Currently 9dpo - just gave in and did an IC with a BFN. I'm hoping it's too early...period due Sunday.

FunBus · 29/12/2020 21:11

Hi all, I will be poas Thursday or Friday too. Sucked not being able to have a drinkie poos over Christmas but hey it will be worth it. Long cycles here lasting 36 days so long wait too. Fingers crossed for everyone but surely I would "know" and feel "different" if we had been blessed. GL all xx

DeeDee20 · 29/12/2020 21:32

Hey ladies. AF due on Friday, cycle ranging from 29-34 days. TTC for 7 months now, ovulated day 20 this month but the last 2 was day 13! Using CB sticks. I’m trying to not test....

Sparkles512 · 29/12/2020 21:47

Not sure if I can test yet?
Stopped pill in November and finished bleeding on 30th November no sign of a period yet?
No idea when I ovulated or how long my cycle is.
Would anyone suggest testing or just keep waiting for a period to appear?

DeeDee20 · 29/12/2020 21:51

@Sparkles512 I would wait. I was 7 days late last month and tested twice..both BFN. I was convinced I was pregnant. Don’t know what happen, felt a pop and then there was a lot of blood. Not like a period I’ve ever had before :(
Waiting is so hard though x

FunBus · 29/12/2020 21:56

Hey @DeeDee20DeeDee20 long cycles suck, how are u getting on with the ov sticks? If I'm BFN this week I think I will invest.
@Sparkles512 I had to wait ages after stopping pill to have a period. 36 day cycles. I found the most useful info on this website and found comfort in that a lot of other ladies go through the same experience.

Sparkles512 · 29/12/2020 22:02

@DeeDee20
@FunBus
Thank you ladies!
I will hold off for now just so impatient and it seems lots of close friends have announced surprise pregnancies over Christmas makes me more impatient.
I don't want to get obsessive with symptoms and tests but its difficult.
Nice to have someone to talk to and explain the mind field!

FunBus · 29/12/2020 22:11

@Sparkles512 when people announce they are pregnant, obs u are happy for them but it's natural u get a pang of why not me! During my first cycle I admit it I got a bit obsessive checking symptoms etc but I think this made the BFN harder, any ways we will keep trying an take the when it happens it happens approach (still noting cycles etc) but being a bit more relaxed about it an enjoy it! After all it will happen right!!!

Sparkles512 · 29/12/2020 22:18

@FunBus yes I'm so excited & happy for them but yes a little part of me was disheartened that it wasn't us.
Our time will come, good things come to those who wait hey?
Best of luck!

DeeDee20 · 29/12/2020 22:19

@FunBus @Sparkles512
Oh tell me about it, I had two very close friends announce their accidental pregnancies this week. Like you say I had a pang of why not me! The first few cycles I was so obsessed with symptom spotting. I tried to relax more last month but that weird period thing I had set me back a bit as I was certain I was pregnant. This month I’ve Defo tried to be more relaxed and not think about it.
I’m using the CB ovulation sticks which I’m finding helpful as two months I ovulated day 13 and this month was day 20. I use them for guidance other wise I don’t think we would DTD that much due to work etc. Xx

ChristmasJumpers · 29/12/2020 22:45

Hi all, 8 or 9dpo for me, trying super hard not to test yet as I've had too many disappointing BFNs in previous cycles and one chemical pregnancy after a faint BFP a couple of months ago.

So far I have mild cramps but no bleeding, sore boobs (I usually get that pre AF anyway though) and tonight I'm a bit cranky and want food but not the food we have at home!! Haha going to bed grumpy and hungry. I've also had creamy white CM today which I don't usually get before AF.

ChristmasJumpers · 29/12/2020 22:47

I also have a friend who announced her pregnancy over Christmas after "stopping preventing it but not really trying. So pleased for them but the frustration is real when we've been trying for 2 years 😬

Rumples · 30/12/2020 07:58

Just got my BFP 😊.

Not really had many symptoms apart from mild cramps now and again. Last time my boobs hurt and I had the worst period pain, so can't quite believe it!

I thought I was only 13dpo but maybe I'm a couple of days more if it's coming up as 2-3 weeks?

Who is testing soon?
Fluffygreyjumper · 30/12/2020 08:05

Congratulations @rumples thats awesome news! Were you due AF today?

DeeDee20 · 30/12/2020 08:05

@Rumples ahhh massive congratulations!!! Amazing news. X

Curiosity101 · 30/12/2020 08:06

@Rumples Congratulations! 2-3 weeks means you're roughly 14-21DPO so you're probably about right 🙂

Curiosity101 · 30/12/2020 08:08

Got my BFP this morning too. No symptoms other than normal PMS type symptoms but I'm only 10DPO so that seems normal.

Who is testing soon?
Fluffygreyjumper · 30/12/2020 08:09

Woohoo congrats @Curiosity101!!

Rumples · 30/12/2020 08:17
