I'm going to be testing on Sunday 🙃🤞🏼 7th Aug, anyone else testing on the same day? Or near enough? How's your TWW been??

Count me in! AF due on the 7th, so if I can hold out until then (unlikely) and AF doesn't arrive (also unlikely) that will be when I'm testing too!
Not holding out loads of hope this month as DH away over ovulation and we didn't get to DTD much, but I have still been symptom spotting like crazy - of course!

@anotherscroller not too bad thank you, lots of symptoms... was very nauseous last night, cramps - like a dull ache and pulling sensation, lower back ache, headache, dizzy, tired and I had quite (TMI) thick beige/yellow CM? So fingers crossed! How are you?

@ffsr111 how you feeling??

OP posts:
Mimmi22 · 03/08/2022 11:22

Me too! I’m due AF on the 8th so near enough. This is my 3rd month of trying, and not feeling that hopeful, but trying to stay positive until I know for sure.

Fingers crossed for you all.

@fsr111 ahh bless you, I'm sorry... It's still a little early to test right? Are you gunna do another in a few days?

OP posts:
fsr111 · 03/08/2022 18:39

Yeah, still a 2/3 days until af is due. Have sort of convinced myself this might be the month, symptom spotting like crazy. Feel like I'm trying to manage my disappointment early!
Have you been trying for long @H1994?

Mimmi22 · 03/08/2022 19:00

@fsr111 in my first pregnancy I got a negative early response digi test 2 or 3 days before my period was due and then a BFP 1 day after predicted AF. You’re not out yet.🤞🏻

@H1994 Thanks, still a while to go so keeping hopeful

Butterflygirl23 · 03/08/2022 19:03

My AF is due 7th august so I'm in with you all!! Il be testing Monday if it doesn't show Sunday but fingers crossed it won't!! I'm 11 DPO I think roughly

NatGee · 03/08/2022 21:44

Ill be 16 days DPO on Sunday not sure I can hold until then ! besides AF might come knocking by then.... @fsr111 I also tested today and like you I got a BFN, sucks doesnt it????

@fsr111 this is my first cycle trying... so I'm trying to stay realistic as a positive result would be super lucky! I'm 11dpo today and my symptoms have died down a bit since yesterday afternoon and I'm a bit worried... I know you can also be pregnant with 0 symptoms but I dunno, I'm just a bit worried! going to see how i go for the next few days and test sunday morn

OP posts:
NatGee · 04/08/2022 13:00

@H1994 have you tested yet at all? I did a cheap one yesterday and today, and both came back negative. not even a faint line

H1994 · 04/08/2022 13:03

@NatGee oh I'm sorry... when is AF due? I haven't tested at all no... I'm 11dpo today, will test on Sunday.

@H1994 that's v sensible, testing gets addictive. Not sure when it is due for sure. only started tracking my cycles last month

H1994 · 04/08/2022 15:11

@NatGee Ahh okay I see, maybe test again in a few days? and yeah, I just don't think I would be able to think about anything else if I had a faint line... I want a solid result ahah

OP posts:
NatGee · 04/08/2022 15:52

Do you know what tests youll use? So many people swear by First Response but I've also read some ladies getting false positives. I love testing but too afraid of getting my hopes up. So far I tried a couple by One Step. V cheap and sensitivity is 10mlU/ml

@NatGee I've got first response here and 1 clear blue...? I've not tried one step!

OP posts:
anotherscroller · 04/08/2022 19:08

@H1994 i’m ok … my temp chart is really rubbish, I have no sharp rise and it doesn’t always stay above the line, so ovulation isn’t actually confirmed even though I got a positive opk. So I’m not feeling very optimistic anymore.
on the other hand I have tingly boobs like breastfeeding, and creamy cm. So also feel like it’s not impossible!
keeping myself as busy as possible. The idea of going into another cycle is stressful.

@anotherscroller they're good symptoms... so don't count yaself out! Yeah, it's a process isn't it... not always super exciting!

OP posts:
anotherscroller · 04/08/2022 20:03

@H1994 a bit of a life lesson tbh. Life can’t be planned month by month. It’s a box of chocolates!
