Waiting for missed period to test

Hi everyone,

just wondering if anyone else is going to try and wait for late AF to test this month? I’m sure there’s normally a thread somewhere but I can’t find it
Last month I had quite a few really bad indents on easy@home and FRER (very obvious on FRER) but they never got darker and AF arrived right on time. It really messed with my emotions so I’m going to try my absolute best to wait for AF this month and if it’s late only test with a digital so I’m not obsessing over faint lines.
i’m also not tracking this month as after last month I deleted all my period tracker apps, premom and my pregnancy app from my MMC as I was very stressed and upset.
I need all the motivation in the world to try and do this as I’m very very obsessive

Hi guys! I was hoping to do the same thing, but I'm due AF on 22nd/23rd and our 1st wedding anniversary is on the 21st......

  1. we will probably be going out for a meal and drinks to celebrate, so would be good to know beforehand whether I can drink or not

  2. it would be a perfect anniversary present if I was... (wishful thinking)

Struggling to decide what to do haha I'm currently 7/8dpo xx

Can I join? Period is due in 7days. We were planning on ttc no2 in a few months but had a condom fail on us this month. I would love to be pregnant but if I’m not then it would be easier with work scheduling.

We're ttc number 2 too! How olds your first? I've had zero symptoms so far even though I'm only approx 9dpo. With my first I had bloating, nausea and the lot xx

Hi everyone...it is all consuming trying not to think and test isn't it! Wishing everyone luck.

I've been TTC for last year with no joy and known low AMH from a previous relationship where male factor was an issue.

Currently waiting for my partner to have semen analysis and waiting for gynae referral as now 36 next week and worried my AMH may be lowering.

I'm technically late for period...usually cycle 24-28 with average 26 according to flo app. I don't track ovulation. My last period was 30 days and I'm currently day 30 today so waiting for it to arrive any time now.

But no period symptoms nor pregnancy symptoms. I did test yesterday with a cheap strip and BFN. Don't know what's causing longer period cycles. Worried it's to do with my AMH...

My first is 3. I caved and tested. Negative obviously because it’s far too early to test but I couldn’t concentrate on anything else so I did it to help me think about other things for the afternoon. I will have to buy a few more cheap tests I think.

Recently got married and first month of trying. Very early days so not really expecting anything but it is hard to resist thinking 'maybe...'
Period due on my birthday which is middle of next week. Will be turning 34.

Hi all. I'd like to join. Currently 3DPO and time feels like it's dragging. First cycle TTC #1 after having the copper coil removed last month. I know it's not meant to affect your cycle but last AF was several days late (usually regular as clockwork) then ovulated CD11 so earlier than expected. Think I could probably test with a FRER early next week but with this cycle being out of the ordinary for me I don't know when AF is due. If AF doesn't appear early I'll try wait until 27th (15 DPO) so it's the weekend as don't fancy working after regardless of the result. Unfortunately I'm incredibly optimistic and a bit of a control freak so scared to test too soon and be disappointed.
