Anyone else on the TWW and fighting the urge not to test early? I always test loads to early waste loads of money and end up getting myself low!

Yup, 6 days until AF here and in already symptom spotting 😂 but I have no tests in the house and don’t intend on getting any until I’m 3 days late or have very obvious symptoms. It’s not unusual for me to be 1-3 days late, so going to try and stay strong and not test until then!

Yes! I'm symptom sporting galore 😂😂 I've no tests in or I think I'd have wasted them, I've ordered some cheap ones offline to tide me over so at least I get to test and not spend too much... For now

@RABO this is me 🙈 good luck hope you get yourBFP. I'm symptom spotting like mad I've started getting period cramps but no period so I'm praying it's implantation cramps but don't want to get my hopes up!

We’re not actively “trying” yet but I’m been keeping an eye on all the variables and have a feeling about this month. Currently 9dpo and had a negative test today (I couldn’t help it!!) not going to test again until the weekend (AF due on Saturday).
It’s driving me nuts! I just want to know already please. Good luck everyone xx

I feel you! I have about 5 or 6 days until AF is due and I'm itching to test. I'm 37, this is cycle 4 TTC my first baby. I thought I saw implantation spotting the other day and my boobs are killing me, but trying not to get my hopes up. I don't have any early tests in the house but really tempted to get one.

Ugh yes, same here. Currently on cycle 3 after a MMC and annoyed with myself for wasting money on tests when I could have just waited another few days. Every month I think "this is fine, I'll just wait longer this time" and then I hit about 8DPO and suddenly I'm super-focused on it. Might ask my husband to hide the tests.

@JNGO21 Same - 9DPO and due on Saturday, only a few days to go!

Daisysandviolets · 25/10/2021 18:26

I caved and tested and now feeling sad, I'm not actually due on until Saturday!

@Daisysandviolets aww this is the problem with testing early. You could still get a BFP! Keeping my fingers crossed for us all x
