3dpo - who wants to join the waiting game with me?

[Potatogirlpie]

That dreaded period of waiting to test 😓 9 days before I can test, it's not fun. I've never been a very patient person 😅

@Potatogirlpie only 3 or 4 more days until you can test is it?? Exciting! I think I'll test in 7 or 8 days time.

Can I join please! 2dpo after a miscarriage in November. Hoping that the "super fertile after miscarriage" stats are true. I'll test on the 13th, 9dpo as I had v.v. faint positives at 9dpo on previous pregnancies.

I'll join! My period is due 17th or 18th of December I think. I've had a weird cycle this month and ovulated earlier than normal so not expecting much. We've been trying since April/May and had a MMC in September so would really love a little Christmas miracle.

Hi! Can I join? This is our first time TTC, so we are on our first cycle. I’m 7dpo now, period due on 11th/12th December. Been having some slight pulling, cramping feeling on one side, but I could just be symptom spotting… I was using easy@home ovulation strips, have had a bit of practice as I have been tracking my ovulation for a few months to get the hang of it 😂. Fully aware I’m very unlikely to conceive first time round but still hoping as it would be a nice way to end the year. Hoping for good news for you all xx

Sending baby dust you way! It's also my first time TTC... 3rd cycle now. Still experimenting with tracking my ovulation, will probably start BBT tracking in the new year but for now just using Flo! Sorry for the TMI but my cycles are irregular but medically my bits and pieces are normal (I had an ultrasound a few weeks ago as doc suspected PCOS) so wondering if Flo might be out a few days with my tracking.

I'm 12dpo (??) and 3 days late for my period. Have been testing all week and BFN's the whole way through - not disheartened but just want to know! I have absolutely no AF symptoms that I usually get apart from some cramping last week!

Good luck to you all ladies ✨🩷

@AppleCrumble96 sorry, completely forgot to reply to you! 🤣

Morning everyone, 10DPO for me and a big temp drop this morning, so looks like AF is on the way. Good luck to to those still waiting to test ✨

@bubballoo welcome! I'll be testing the same day but I'll be 14DPO, trying to hold off as long as possible.

@Bugdem123 hey! I think we're together on another thread too. Also hoping for a Christmas miracle, 6/7 days until I'm testing though which seems like a very long time away!

@AppleCrumble96 welcome, I'm 7DPO so similar timings, do you know when you're going to test? Could be beginners luck haha!

@BirdIsland ah sorry about the temp drop, I don't track temp so don't know if there's a chance that it could still be okay? When are you due on? x

@ThelastRolo20 @bubballoo all testing the same day. I very almost tested today but told myself stop being insane woman it's no where near time lol. I have never ever been an early tester either. Infact only ever tested once when I got my positive with my misscarriage and I have been over a week late many times but still never tested. The misscarriage has sent me into an obsession lol, but trying to stay strong and hold on to 14th. Wishing everyone lots of luck and Christmas miracles. Imagine how beautiful thay would feel xx

Hello! Can I join?
Around 9dpo today! Some mild cramps today.
TTC baby #2, my Son is 18 months old. I hate the waiting, trying not to test just yet

@miamiamia869 I'm always tempted to test early but if it is negative I'd rather find out by AF arriving as at least then I'm already onto the next cycle! For me I really dislike the time between knowing it's not happened, and AF arriving. So although I'd love to know as early as possible if I was pregnant, I think it's worth holding off a couple of days :)

Also, if it's negative I start telling myself it's because I've tested early so then I'm in denial haha. Fingers crossed for us x

@MrsAnonymous24 welcome! The temptation to test is hard to resist so well done haha. When are you thinking of testing?

@ThelastRolo20 . That's exactly what I would have done had I tested. This is why I need to be strong...I'm gonna hold on to 14th. I am shopping with mum on 13th, something we don't get to do often so don't want to test early and be miserable over a negative.

I have never had 2 weeks feel so long. My 2 week holidays never seem to go on this long haha.. but we are half way through so we got this lol.

Anyone close to testing yet as I know a few people are ahead of us?? Good luck if you are

Welcome to the longest wait ever @MrsAnonymous24 fingers crossed for you and all xx

Thank you! It’s so hard, I just want to know! Well I want to be able to hold out until AF is due next Tuesday/Wednesday.. but I keep thinking maybe I’ll test tomorrow at 10dpo. What about you?

@miamiamia869 same! I have plans this Saturday (9DPO) and didn't want to feel down, and I'm really busy at work and need to be on it. I won't be if I know it's negative! and I agree - these two weeks have never gone slower!

Shopping trip sounds lovely :)

@MrsAnonymous24 I'm due on next Wednesday/ Thursday. I'm going to do my best to wait until Thursday. I'm working from home that day so if it's a negative I don't have to put on a brave face at work - I work in HR so a very social role!

@ThelastRolo20 I want to try hold out on testing until Monday if I can as I would be 12dpo by then and AF will be due anytime from then . Finding it really hard not too now! I won’t be able to test Saturday/Sunday as I’m away visiting family so will probably keep me occupied 🤞. When are you planning on testing? I said to my husband it won’t happen first time round so if it did think he will be shocked! xx

@AppleCrumble96 distractions are good! I'm waiting until next Thursday (hopefully) so an entire week to go. It's going to go slowly I know..... just trying to keep busy!

@ThelastRolo20 I hope you manage to wait till Thursday 🤞 That’s fab that you’re working from home, I also work from home some days and I’ll be home when AF is due too! My colleagues would defo know if something was up! I’m actually in the office tomorrow and Monday and have a busy weekend hopefully I’ll be distracted enough to not test.
Do you have any symptoms yet?

@MrsAnonymous24 I have no clue with testing to be honest but maybe a early detention one if you do want to do it early?

I don't have a period due date cause I misscarried on 6th Nov at 12 weeks and it took 3 weeks for the HCG to leave my system. I tracked ovulation and going from that it should be next Thursday. I'm well aware my cycle is probably going to be all crazy and i dont know what to expect, but refuse to let myself anything other than positivity at the moment lol.

@ThelastRolo20 yeah you want to be free on Saturday to enjoy. So everything is saying to us hold on till 14th so this we must lol

@AppleCrumble96 i said the same thing to my Husband and he said we will just try again next month.. but our Son was conceived first month of trying so I think he secretly thinks it will happen first time! 😳

@miamiamia869 yeah I could do, I’ll try and hold out and wait lol
So sorry to hear about your miscarriage. Sending you positive vibes! I actually conceived my Son after my first normal period after my miscarriage, I didn’t try before I had a period as I was just trying to process it all. Definitely hope for you fingers crossed 🤞

@MrsAnonymous24 @miamiamia869 I miscarried at 12 weeks in Oct but I've had a normal period since. It happens to so many people! x

@ThelastRolo20 it definitely does happen to a lot of people. I was only 6 weeks, must have been so hard at 12 weeks! I was so anxious when I was pregnant after and I will probably be the same this time. Good luck to you both! @miamiamia869

I'd love to join . We are ttc number 2. Number 1 we dtd then forgot about it because we didn't believe it would happen that quick and I was 6 days late before I even realised 🤣
Obviously this time round we are properly trying. So I'm 3dpo so fingers crossed we get lucky again!
