Testing around 21st May

[thinkingoutloud2]

Hey lovely mumsnetters,

Anyone else starting their TWW and want to join this thread and hold internet hands with each other? x

I swear I feel nauseous today. Only ever felt nauseous with my son but that was a few weeks in, not 7 dpo 😂 Somehow everything can be attributed back to pregnancy if we try hard enough. Sniffly nose at this time of year= definitely pregnancy. Bloated? Absolutely not PMS. Fridge smelling ‘fridgey’? It’s the HCG doing it… 😁

😂😂😂

Oh for some reason my reply has just quoted you and not actually replied 😂🤦🏼‍♀️

It’s the pregnancy hormones, dear. They’re making you forgetful 😁

Haha! Ah another one to add to my list 😂

Hey, how are we all doing?

I am 6dpo now, have sensitive boobs, brown spotting over night and I’ve had an upset tummy all day which is exactly, to the day, what I had with DD. I am convinced I’m pregnant, just waiting to see if it sticks 🤞

hope you are all feeling ok, this week has flown!

Hey! Your symptoms sounds verrrry promising! Fingers crossed 🤞 for you.

I am also 6dpo. I have had some super mild twinges and cramps today down in the middle of my pelvis but that is all (and a really strange pulling feeling all day at 4dpo but that was too early to mean anything)

Hello! Hope you don’t mind me joining! I’ll be testing 20th but I’ll only be 10 DPO! I have a short LP so may start spotting before then! I’ve been temping for 2 months now! Ttc for a total 16 months with really irregular cycles from 28-100 days! I’ve had 2 ‘normal’ ovulation dates now though in a row ovulating at cd14&15!

goodluck everyone!

@Cherrymarket ooh keep us posted! When do you think you'll test?

I'm 8DPO today and got a bfn on a cheapie this morning (obviously!) but all morning have felt exhausted, dizzy and light headed and nauseous so I stupidly wasted a FRER on a 2 hour mid morning hold which was also negative obviously!! DH is convinced I'm pregnant because of how I'm feeling. I had a coffee which didn't help, then lunch which didn't help, just had a second lunch 😂 and do feel a bit better now so maybe I was just hungry haha

@Peonies94 hey! See how my crazy has progressed from this morning 😂

I’m the same as @Tropicana1 that I feel like I felt with DS but also did a test and it was BFN. 8/9 dpo. Why won’t the tests reflect what is going on in my body? Is it all in my head? This is the first TWW I’ve been hopeful that there’s been implantation and it is draaaaagggging on. 🙈😂

@Tropicana1 i will be testing Thursday (10dpo) absolute earliest as everything else was a waste last time. I am really going to try and wait til Saturday but I know myself 😂

@ZazuMoon i know what you mean, it’s dragging this second half!

@Cherrymarket I wish I had that self control 😂
Started getting some of my usual pre AF cramping now so I'm feeling slightly less optimistic which may stop my manic testing

Hey everyone! I’m 6 dpo today, had cramping on 4dpo, and for the last two days have felt really bloated. Not sure if this is even a symptom. It could also be because I’ve been eating crap lol!
Is bloating a symptom this early??

@Peonies94 100 days? 😱Have you tried the conceive plus ovulation tablets? Mine weren’t that extreme but they did sort out my short luteal phase and more like 28 days rather than between 20 and 35-40.
@Ellswells3 Hi! I’m also bloated but I’ve decided I have every symptom under the sun this cycle which can’t be possible and wasn’t even the case with my first child 🤦🏼‍♀️

@ZazuMoon haha - I know, every little twinge I have over analysed!! It’s crazy. Only need to get through to next Saturday, it’s less than a week now and then I’ll be put out of my misery.. ahhhhh

@Tropicana1 ahh that does sound exciting though!!
@ZazuMoon I know longest 100 days but also had some 60 days, a few 48-52 and so on! I have tried a combo of different things but not those, but I have had 2 normal length cycles so trying vitamin b6 for LP this month and I’m going to try vit c also added to the list next month!

BFN this morning for me (9dpo) could have sworn I saw a shadow of a something on my cheapie so wasted another FRER 🤦🏼‍♀️

I’m going to jump on your bandwagon! I’m actually 13 DPO, and AF was due 3 days go but no BFP yet. I think I had an implantation dip 4 days ago though, so I’m going to try and hold off testing until Friday (lol!). This TTC makes you obsessive doesn’t it?

DH keeps saying “let’s wait and see” cool as a cucumber, but it’s all I’m thinking about! Fingers crossed for us all x

I think it’s easier to be cool as a cucumber when you have one (pretty easy) job to do and then not have to incubate and grow another human 😁
I also tested this morning at 9/10 dpo and BFN. I’ll just carry on having all of these symptoms then 🤷🏼‍♀️ The FRERs arrived earlier than I thought and I couldn’t resist, even though I had planned to wait until at least Wed/Thurs. 🤦🏼‍♀️

@ZazuMoon i tested this morning too and got a BFN (9DPO) I seem to have lost my message I thought I wrote about it this morning so apologies if I'm repeating myself 😂
Thought I could see a shadow on a cheapie so wasted another FRER.
The obsession is real, I just almost bought a shit sainsburys one to do on my lunch break at work because I've felt so lightheaded and a bit nauseous but managed to talk myself down from the ledge 😂 maybe I'm just coming down with a bug

Yes exactly! Tbf he is also very laid back by nature too.

I also couldn’t resist testing this morning.

I hope you get a BFP this week @ZazuMoon

I’ve decided I must be going mad and all of the symptoms are in my head until I am vindicated by a BFP 😂
Nooooo- don’t do anymore yet. Well, until the morning at least. Are Sainsbury’s not reliable? My preferred one is the clear blue that just makes it suitable for idiots with pregnant/not pregnant and no squinting but not when I’m being obsessive as they are a waste of money.

So I was planning to test on Saturday which will be 12dpo, but Saturday feels sooooo long away. Would I be mad to test in the morning with FMU and a FRER on day 8? It’s in my bedside drawer burning a whole into my brain. I am using all my might not to touch it lol. I’ve also done another Amazon order with a clear blue digital arriving on thurs / fri (10dpo /11dpo).

I am 7 dpo today and feel tired, still a bit crampy and just generally off. Again though there are many other reasons I could be feeling like this and it’s unlikely it would even be pregnancy related at 7dpo isn’t it?!?? Arrgh.

sorry to hear everyone who’s had negatives! I’m already fighting temptation to test at 6 DPO!

I love this website and it helps me keep myself sane until atleast 9DPO where there’s a 50/50 chance of seeing a positive if your pregnant! And 10/11 DPO is more accurate (not that I wait that long!!) www.countdowntopregnancy.com/pregnancy-test/dpo-chart.php?dpo=10

I could have written this! I’m also currently 7dpo and I have two FRERs in the bathroom cupboard calling my name

I just know it would be a BFN though then I’d be annoyed at myself for wasting money!

I really want to hold out until AF day because I don’t want to have to deal with the disappointment of BFNs but I am weak!
