I've banned myself from even buying tests yet let alone succumbing to early testing! I need someone to be strong with me and hold out until I'm 2 days late. Anyone with me?!

I had a mmc in December and now ttc no 3.

Hi, I’m also ttc number 3, af is due on the 10th

Quolla · 06/02/2021 16:29

Hi @dippyegg32, I'd love to join! After a chemical pregnancy last month I think I've ovulated about a week late and AF due on the 16th. I have no desire to test early this time after last month so will be trying to hold out as well!

Delight12 · 06/02/2021 17:25

I will join too, AF is due on the 14th, but I really want to test now lol so haven't bought any this month good luck to you all x

dippyegg32 · 06/02/2021 18:17

Ah good luck everyone! I've banned myself from buying any until/IF I'm late. In October I was a test maniac but that sadly ended in mmc so I'm donning the chilled approach...we'll see anyway!

Can I join I will be testing 14th/15th also

FoxInSocks2 · 06/02/2021 19:06

I am due on 16th, so ideally I wouldn't test until at least then or 17th. It's my third cycle this time and early testing has just led to repeated disappointments.

Magnum99 · 06/02/2021 19:09

Yes I'll join in with this, that's around when I should be ready to test but I know I'll struggle to hold off until then so some moral support will be good.

dippyegg32 · 06/02/2021 19:44

@Magnum99 the willpower will be so hard but we'll hold off together!

How is everyone feeling today, I am around 7dpo I think and trying not to symptom spot which I can't help at all 😊

dippyegg32 · 07/02/2021 10:14

Morning! Only 3dpo and totally normal apart from the fact I fell asleep on the sofa at 8pm on Friday and 6.45 last night!! Can't be any science behind it but evidently pretty damn exhausted at the moment.

Hello!

I'll be testing around then too....will be 14DPO on the 17th. My cycles are out of whack and seem to vary from 27ish days to 45ish days Hmm it's impossible to know when my period is 'due' or when I'm likely to ovulate so I'm using ovulation kits each month to try and help with timing things right.

We've been TTC number 2 since Dec/Jan last year. Had a MC at 12 weeks in November so we're back at it again.

I'm not holding out much hope of it working this month though.

dippyegg32 · 07/02/2021 10:50

I honestly don't think we could have dtd anymore it was exhausting! We did cd9, twice on cd11, 12, 13 (opk peak) and 14. Really don't think we could have tried harder but still, only had one period since mmc so I'm not holding out much hope. I reckon my body needs longer to work itself out.

OP posts:
SleepingKitten · 07/02/2021 11:02

I'm hoping my body is working itself out too.

So many people were like "oh you're more fertile after a MC" (even the bereavement midwife at the hospital) that I think I unconsciously got my hopes up that it would happen quite quickly, so I'm having to temper my expectations because I don't reckon it'll happen that way for us!

Mind you, my cycles were up the spout before the MC so it would be nice if it at least helped them regulate!

missrose0110 · 07/02/2021 11:11

We're testing later that week, possibly the weekend if I can hold off. Haven't even bought the tests yet, I can't resist the temptation 😂 good luck everyone

dollygoo · 07/02/2021 14:00

I just had what looks like implantation blood and the reason I say this is because it looked exactly the same as when I was pregnant with dc1 and plus it's too early for af. Fingers crossed 🤞

dippyegg32 · 07/02/2021 14:13

Oo sounds good @dollygoo! I've never had implantation bleeding with any of my pregnancies. How many dpo are you? I had an implantation bbt dip last time but no blood.

OP posts:
Justbecause88 · 07/02/2021 20:55

Oooooh I will join. My period is due around the 15th, although I’ve been charting my BBT this month and I don’t even think I’ve ovulated. I’ve been TTC number 2 for 11 months after a miscarriage. I try and avoid testing and just wait for my period to arrive, I find it harder to deal with a negative test!

keegslittlepenguin · 07/02/2021 20:57

Hi all

I'm 7dpo

Got stabbing pain in right side and backache sooo tired trying not to symptom spot but....

dollygoo · 07/02/2021 21:07

@keegslittlepenguin I know it is so difficult, at the moment I am really crampy but that's all for now.

keegslittlepenguin · 07/02/2021 21:09

I'm due 16th according to my app. What about you xz

dollygoo · 07/02/2021 21:15

I'm due 14th I think

Watermelon22 · 08/02/2021 08:26

Hi ladies, please can I join? Told myself I need to hold on until 17th Feb to test although I'll only be 12DPO so it isn't great willpower! TTC our first and on cycle 2 ❤

Cinderellashoes · 08/02/2021 08:35

Af is due in 3 days for me. I still haven’t got my head around why sometimes you get pregnant and sometimes you dont, even when dtd is perfectly timed etc. It does stress me out!

Flowerchild547 · 08/02/2021 08:43

Hiya,
Going to jump on this thread.
Had implant removed on 15/1 and in our first cycle ttc. Af due 19th Feb (on some app it says earlier though?).
I was trying to be chilled and more of a when it happens it happens but I’ve quickly gone down the rabbit hole. I am going to try to resist symptom spotting but who knows what is going to happen during the tww?!!

whitershadeofpale · 08/02/2021 09:27

I’m in the same boat as @Quolla as I had a CP last month and an early MC in November, due to past history I think that I may have a clotting issue but the GP is pretty blasé about the whole thing and just thinks I should be happy I can get pregnant! I’ve started taking aspirin this month and am due on 15th. It’s hard holding off but I don’t feel I can go through it again this month if it’s a CP again.
