Support/chat for ladies who wait to poas until af is due or late!

[Daisies11]

Hi, I'll join! I'm currently at cd 25, so not much longer to wait! This is my first cycle after coming off the pill so not totally sure how long they'll be, but when ttc #1 they were pretty consistently around 29 days so I'm going with that. That means I'd be due on Monday, so waiting till Monday/Tuesday to test.

Fingers crossed to everyone, and good luck with holding out testing!

Hello Daisies! Happy to have you here Fingers crossed for you!

 

[pennies]

I feel like I'm going crazy! Tested on Sunday and got a stark bfn. Been feeling bloated, queasy, full uterus and today have been getting sporadic sharp stabbing pains on my left pelvis/uterus.

Today is CD36, last cycle was 43 days and the one before that was 48 days. What does this mean?! 🙉

Trying to hold off getting my hopes up as really can't face another negative this month so no idea when or if I should even test again?!

 

[EElse]

Test was for me.

CD32 today so I guess I was wrong about O date. I'll test again beginning of April if the stays away...

 

[wrapunzel]

plenty of women don't get BFP until a week later or more, don't give up hope!

Still getting sharp pains on left side.

I dunno whether to:
a) test again soon
b) wait until I'm at the point of last cycle and test on day 44
c) wait until I'm officially late for me and hold out to day 50?

I think everything about "waiting for af" kinda goes out the window with irregular cycles... choose when to test based on ovulation. I think 17 or 18 dpo is when the number of false negatives drops below 10%

 

[pennies]

Problem is I'm not 100% when I ovulated this month, I had two strong/positive opks and then I ran out! Last strong opk was 17th and the other was 14th. So I'm putting myself at either 13dpo or 16dpo. Or I could have missed it/not done an opk at all and o'd later than I thought.

So confused, no idea where I'm at, what this sharp pain is or what.

Also my stomach is really tender to touch every evening. Neither this or the sharp pain are af symptoms for me

 

[wrapunzel]

Pennies I am sorry I didn't respond yesterday, I've been very busy. I think unusual pain is a good reason to set aside the desire to wait to test. Fingers crossed for you!

Hi, I'd like to join! I'm 14dpo, AF is due tomorrow and I'm going insane. I was super hopeful because I have 50 million symptoms, but today (now actually) I'm cramping pretty bad. I don't know if it's because AF is coming or not. But I don't like it.

 

[wrapunzel]

Hi Ashley, welcome! Sorry to hear about the cramps, I hope they're not af

 

[NattyJ]

Awww, how could I have missed this? My spiritual 2WW home! I am a non tester until late too. I had an accidental first pregnancy, didn't realise or test until 6wks. Second was planned but I waited until 19dpo to test because apparently if you have 19 days of high temps it is pretty much a guarantee of pregnancy.

Currently only 2dpo waiting patiently. I have been so busy and distracted of late, there is so much going on that I am not in the slightest bothered by the wait.

Hi Natty, welcome to the club. Glad to hear you're too busy for the 2WW to be dragging on! What's going on in your life?

praying for you!

 

[guillaine]

Hi to everyone who joined recently, it seems like we are coming up to testing week for a few of you, wishing you well.

Hi Natty nice to have someone who'll be waiting a while, I'm going to wait a couple of weeks still or til af either way. Like your attitude, I am trying to be chilled about it too, seems more sustainable.

 

[guillaine]

Oh, and hope your job went well Wrapunzel!

 

[wrapunzel]

It did Guillaine, thank you. My 2WW went even better I hope the time flies until you ovulate

 

[guillaine]

It did Guillaine, thank you. My 2WW went even better I hope the time flies until you ovulate

That's great 7dpo today, ticking off the days....

 

[NattyJ]

Hi Natty, welcome to the club. Glad to hear you're too busy for the 2WW to be dragging on! What's going on in your life?

praying for you!

Thank you, I need all those prayers! And Mazal Tov to you!!!!

Got my crosshairs today, ovulated just when expected, SO happy!!!! Bit worried about my cm, but there really is nothing I can do about that now....

 

[wrapunzel]

Oh sorry Guillaine I got confused, when you said you'd be waiting a few weeks I figured you hadn't O'd yet. Whoops. You're in the implantation window! Keep us posted on symptoms

 

[pennies]

Pretty much made a decision today that I'm no longer going to get my hopes up every month, I don't think it's helping and the disappointment really isn't worth it.

I'm going to keep doing opks though as with my cycles I honestly have no idea when I ovulate. Currently on cd39, we'll see how long this one lasts...

In the meantime I'm going to turn my attention to home improvements and booking a holiday or two, maybe then something might happen!
