Anyone else 3dpo? When do you suggest the best time to test is? I have some frer’s and some ic’s and I honestly think I won’t be able to get through the weekend without testing 😫🤣

@Ailie12 thank you! Makes much more sense now 😊

How is everyone feeling today? Any super early testing? 😂

I'm 5dpo now, positive ovulation test on Thursday, therefore probably ovulation day on Friday. As implantation usually happens between 6dpo and 12dpo, and also taking into consideration that it takes 48 hours or longer for hcg to develop, I wouldn't test already :)
Did I post that already? I find it to be very helpful.

(for example: at 6dpo, only 3% of pregnant women will get a positive test)

feliznavidad2 · 19/05/2021 09:19

I'm planning on testing either Mon or Tues when I'll be 11/12dpo. 🤔

Hope you're both feeling well. I'm still gassy, but ok! 😆

extrababydust123 · 19/05/2021 09:59

@Bundaberg84 that’s a fab link! Really puts things into perspective and puts you off testing so early as it’s basically pointless 🤣 I’m 6dpo today, I will test Saturday morning when I’m 9dpo and go from there 😁

@feliznavidad2 I should probably wait until then too but ic’s are calling my name 🤣 I’m super gassy too, but I feel like I’ve been eating more because I’ve been so hungry so that’s probably why.. but we’ll see! Hoping this thread is full of BFP’s this time next week 🤞🏽❤️

So excited for next week!!

monkeyy97 · 19/05/2021 11:11

Hey everyone 🙋🏼‍♀️

6th cycle for me! Had a chemical in feb... March and April I took a relaxed approach and didnt bother with opks. This month I have gone back to Opks and am now 2po 🤞🏻🤞🏻

Had lots of ovulation cramps this month so hoping it's a good sign 🤞🏻

Bundaberg84 · 19/05/2021 11:47

@monkeyy97 we seem to have the same "history". I also had a chemical in February, and I took a break from TTC last month. I'm 5dpo today.

monkeyy97 · 19/05/2021 11:53

@Bundaberg84

Hopefully this is our month 🥰🤞🏻

feliznavidad2 · 19/05/2021 12:06

Hi @monkeyy97 👋🏻

Welcome to the err party x

lovescaca · 19/05/2021 12:17

I'm 12dpo been cramping since just after ovulation. Been actively trying for about 6months but not been on anything since I had my wee boy 3yrs ago 🥺

Bexboo1 · 19/05/2021 13:30

@extrababydust123 there's no way you will stop testing until Saturday 😂 obsessed like me! I've ordered some of them babyplan test strips from Amazon, £12 for 21 strips and they are 10mIU, those one steps didn't show positive for me last month until about 12dpo so I don't know how they claim to be sensitive! Said I wasn't going to test early but I just can't not 😬😬😬 xx

extrababydust123 · 19/05/2021 18:20

Hi @monkeyy97 sorry about your chemical 💐 I hope this month is your month 😂

@Bexboo1 you at so very right 😂😂 I just did a test about 10 minutes ago because I found a left over one step from last cycle and thought why not 🤷🏽‍♀️ Convinced I can see a very faint line but I’m only 6dpo so the odds are very slim 🤣 terrible back ache today though and felt some weird twinges in my left side a few hours ago, fingers crossed it’s implantation and not my imagination 🤞🏽

OP posts:
extrababydust123 · 19/05/2021 18:22

And hi @lovescaca that sounds promising! When are you hoping to test? 🤞🏽

OP posts:
lovescaca · 19/05/2021 18:32

I dnt think I'm going to test, my longest luteal phase is 16days so will wait till then (Monday) Just scared and feeling fed up about seeing another neg or af. X

extrababydust123 · 19/05/2021 18:33

@lovescaca I get that, I wish I had your will power. I can’t seem to think about anything else than testing but that negative really does hurt even when you know it’s too early. I have everything crossed that this is your cycle ❤️

lovescaca · 19/05/2021 18:56

It gets to the point u just get fed up, thank you so much. Same for u x

Bexboo1 · 19/05/2021 19:43

@extrababydust123 ooo fingers crossed! Hope it is for you

extrababydust123 · 19/05/2021 20:24

Thanks lovelies I really hope so too ❤️

feliznavidad2 · 19/05/2021 20:32

I also did a test this eve @extrababydust123 - you're not alone in your silliness! BFN obviously...

It's hard isn't it? Especially when you want something so much but really have very little control over it.

Going to try and hold out for anymore POAS until Monday now. 😳 🥴

extrababydust123 · 19/05/2021 20:35

@feliznavidad2 haha it is really hard! And even though I’m testing at 6dpo I’m still stood in different lights squinting expecting to see a line, the TWW really makes me lose the plot 😂

I’m definitely going to test Saturday morning at 9dpo, can’t promise I won’t test before then though 🥴

OP posts:
feliznavidad2 · 20/05/2021 07:55

7DPO. And I've just been sick, and my peanut butter and banana on toast (which I usually love) tastes really odd.

Don't want to get my hopes up but if this isn't pregnancy, I'm gonna be going to the GP. 😬

extrababydust123 · 20/05/2021 08:26

@feliznavidad2 eek that sounds so promising!! Fingers crossed! 🤞🏽🤞🏽 I still have back ache but apart from that feel fine.. feeling very not pregnant and BFN for me this morning 😅

OP posts:
feliznavidad2 · 20/05/2021 08:30

Thanks @extrababydust123 - I'm only telling you guys my inner mental brain workings as can't share it in real life. 😆 It may not be it but I don't feel my usual self.

My fingers are tightly crossed for us all. With DS1, I didn't test until 13dpo 😳 and didn't have any symptoms at all. I felt totally normal. x x

extrababydust123 · 20/05/2021 10:54

@feliznavidad2 don’t worry, we’re here to offload onto and no judging 🤣

I wish I could wait until 13dpo, I just feel so disheartened and like I’ve failed again this month even though I know it’s way too early. Just think I’d maybe be feeling something by now but who knows! Just going to trying and chill out today and wait until Saturday to test x

Has anyone had the Covid jab? Just had mine at 5dpo. Can't help but think how it may affect possible pregnancy this month 🤷🏻‍♀️ I'm sure it'll be fine but think I'm making excuses for not conceiving this month already. I mean we haven't caught the past 7 months. The tww is horrible 😭 also scared to see another BFN.
