Wanted: buddies

[Angel022605]

Hi everyone!
I am on CD 26 of 29 and I am looking for testing buddies...I am probably gonna test this weekend...Anyone in the same boat? I am trying not to go crazy....This weekend seems soooo far away though...Anyone have advice on how to keep busy and your mind off this 2ww? I will keep everyone posted if I test and the result...

Hi Angel!
I'm 6dpo and planning to test Monday which will be 13dpo. However, I'm feeling likely to cave and test Friday. DH and I will be away from home for the weekend so my plan is to not pack any tests so I can't be tempted! Buuut I'm feeling lots of little twinges and bubbles which are making me curious enough to maybe try on Friday. I guess I'll see when the time comes.
It really is so hard to wait, I don't have any great advice on not going crazy. I try to just keep perspective that a few days is really short in comparison to how long I'll be pregnant if it happens.
Are you planning to test Friday? Any symptoms?

 

[Angel022605]

I might test Sunday(8/10) if I have no AF on Thur(8/7) or Fri(8/8). My only symptoms are AF like cramps on and off, feeling just a teeny bit nauseous after I eat, lack of energy, bloating, gassy, and low back ache off and on. What symptoms have you been getting?

 

[MiaGirl]

Those symptoms are hopefully promising! It's so hard when people say af cramps can indicate pregnancy. Just feels like our bodies are mean like that.
I don't know that I actually feel symptoms or not. Like I feel little twinges and and bubbles in my uterus sometimes, but I'm pretty sure I always feel those in the tww so I can't count them as symptoms.
I'm deciding I really want to stay strong and not test until Monday the 11th. I just hate to see bfn's.

Hey ladies I will be testing this weekend as well pending I do not start. I was supposed to start today and I am trying very hard to hold out. I recently lost my job so stress could be causing me to be late. But I am also very hopeful. Last months period was very weird. it was defininitely lighter than usual it was four days long but on most of those days i could have gotten away with 1 superplus all day and 1 day i didnt bleed at all. so idk what my body is doing. I tested before that period and got a negative and I am too scred to test again. In 2 years of trying i have had way too many BFN!! what i do to keep going crazy is i tell myself my period is going to be here anytime now. it helps to keep me calm and then im not as crushed when it does come. Baby dust to all

I've had a similar cycle as you... I chose not to test because my next cycle was a tad longer and my next cycle after that was normal but this cycle isn't...

Erebus 2 years of trying is so long, my heart goes out to you. Hoping and praying this is finally the time for you! Keep us updated.

Angel I can totally see why irregular cycles make it hard to know when to test. If I didn't temp, I'd have been so confused at a ton of bfn's last cycle since it was 46 days! The cycle before was 26 days. Thankfully temping kept me in the loop so I knew when I O'd.

 

[Angel022605]

well everyone i tested this am and it was a BFN I will wait and see if AF shows and if AF doesn't show in a week i will test again....i guess FF was wrong

 

[MiaGirl]

So sorry about the bfn angel it's so heartbreaking to see. But as long as af hasn't showed up yet you're still in! Fx for you! Keep us updated please.

I did cave with an IC yesterday and saw a line so checked with a frer and then a digi this morning. BFP's! I was so shocked, but feeling excited! I really hope you'll be joining soon with your own BFP!!

Ty for the support! It's needed... The only other thing I can recall was when I started putting my temps in the desktop version of FF(I use the mobile app mainly) it was suggesting I Oed about CD 16-19... If that's the case my cycle might be a tad longer and AF isn't really due until 8/11(mon)... If nothing happens at all next week I'll test next weekend... Congrats on your BFP! Though I got my BFN today I don't think AF is gonna come today but I will keep y'all posted
