Anyone testing this week/soon?

Hello everyone

I wasn't sure if I'd be back this month as husband and I are erring towards stopping trying for various reasons and I think I had a chemical last month which hit me Hard.

But we had previously agreed one more month (and then talk through and reevaluate) so we decided to go ahead with that.

My ov time was all over the place this month, thanks to a new batch of ov tests and the sudden change in ambient temperature. And we didn't get to dtd as much as previously due to ill health, flu jab side effects and a few other things

I don't know how confident I'm feeling, I've a few symptoms which I get most months so could swing either way.

My temp chart is totally different to normal, though, it was low at the beginning of my dpo phase, but once it went up it has stayed up which it never does

I'm 9dpo today and planning yo start testing tomorrow.

Anyone else testing this week or next?

Where's my fellow testers?

I'm trying Very hard to not read in to the very low abdominal stabbing feeling I've had for the past 10m or so

Hey! I’m only 2dpo so am about a week behind you, but wishing you all the best.

Have you seen the gp yet? X

I’m 7DPO today but my cycles have been all over the place since my MMC end of May, normally they were between 28 and 30 days, I was ovulation testing multiple times a day this cycle and got my high/peak a week later then my flo app predicted, which has thrown me off, I’m itching to test and hoping this is my month.

I’m 2DPO, I got a slight stomach ache have you had this?

@Laura thank you, and you! I haven't, no, our gp was willing to see us after 6 months due to my being 37 but after this month I think we'll just decide we're happy with our lot. Of course it Could happen this month yet, the pricking feelings I had earlier really made me wonder about implantation as I had similar with my youngest. I knew when I ovulated, had ovulation pains, had implantation pains and then some tiny spotting

@Lauren It's so hard when things happen differently and longer cycles are Hard. Mine average at 32 days and it drags. I'm so sorry for your mmc but I hope this is your month. When do you plan to test?

Avatar

@danielle In all honesty nothing that happens at 2po can be classed as pregnancy symptoms as you're a good bit before implantation yet. The symptoms you have could well be from progesterone as it rises in your system after ovulation though. Good luck over the coming days

Avatar

yes of course I wouldnt expect pregnancy symptoms just interested to know if you had similar pains, I never really looked out for ovulation etc before so my first time watching for changes in my body x

Avatar

nah I’m feeling very normal still 🤣 but it’s such early days. So far I’ve managed to not test and just wait for my period. I just try to ignore everything and pretend it’s not happening for the two week wait x

Avatar

ahh that is absolutely fair enough. I’m 35 and if it doesn’t happen naturally for us we’re not going to pursue anything like ivf. It’s so tough on people, I can definitely understand just being happy with what you have.

Wow, I had no clue I was even pregnant with my first 🤣 I can’t imagine being so in tune with my body, I’m oblivious!

Avatar

@danielle oh I see, I understand! I'd have expected ovulation pains earlier than 2dpo, but I don't know for certain. It's so hard to follow it all though, haha

Avatar

@Laura I understand that, we'd have never gone for ivf either, even if we'd decided to carry on. It's ab awful lot isn't it

I think my having chronic illnesses means I have a weird awareness of my body, haha

Avatar

yeah I really respect people who do it but I don’t think I have it in me. Just let fate decide for me.

Haha fair enough. When do you think you’ll test?

Avatar

@Laura absolutely, I'm the same.

I was going to test today (10dpo) but if there's any chance those pricking feelings had yesterday were implantation then it's better.to hold off. I was still wondering if I'd be tempted today but then I woke in the night to use the bathroom so my fmu wouldn't have been much good so I am gonna try tomorrow I think. Normally I give in and test at 9dpo, I'm never that chilled about testing. I dunno it it's because I'm convinced I'm not or actually hopeful that I am lol

Tested this morning (11dpo) and I'm pretty sure it's negative. I wouldn't bet my life on it as I sometimes think I can see the hint of something but it isn't enough to show once quality is decreasedcon an upload (sent to my friend on messenger and I couldn't see it on that pic either). It's probably the indent mark or just nothing.

There's still time, though

Avatar

as you say, might be worth testing again in a few days. Fingers crossed for you x

Avatar

Negative, again, at 12dpo

Whilst there's still time I'm not feeling very confident

Avatar

I tested today at 10dpo and I’m pretty sure it was negative too. I’m going to test again in a few days. I’m just really hoping for my 🌈 and was really hoping to be pregnant when my 👼 would be due date came around.

Absolutely everything crossed for you
