Weddingbee boards

So after the success of the 10/10 club, I think we need a 10/20 club.

I am on CD30, 8dpo and would like to wait until 10/20 to test, at which point I will be 14dpo....But man is it hard!!!  I'm tempted to POAS this Sunday @ 10 dpo.  Please discourage me!  

Who wants to joing the 10/20 club?  What CD and how many DPO are you?  

Lots of luck ladies!!!

When I got pregnant (before my MC), I took a test at 10 DPO, and it was negative. Took another one at 11 DPO and it was negative. And then 12 DPO, BAM, positive!!

So I would wait until 12 DPO... rather than wasting tests.

Also, the line that says "99% accurate up to 5 days before your missed period" is very misleading. What they mean by that, is that it will produce the same result as a professional doctor's test up to 5 days before your period. But even a doctor's test has very limited success so early. So if a doctor's test has a 50% chance of showing you are pregnant, then the home test will have a 99% chance of matching the doctor's results. So it's very misleading, and negatives are VERY common so early on after ovulation!

I'll join you! i'm also more of a 10/25 club member, seeing as I'm only 4 DPO (CD 24), but what's interesting to me this time is my complete lack of any symptoms. Usually by 4 DPO there's a whole host of things that I'm over-analyzing...this month, nothing.

@chastenet - are you TTC baby #1? How long have you been trying?

@redsmarties: Yup, Baby #1.  This is cycle 4, we had a m/c after a bfp on the 2nd cycle, this is the 2nd cycle since.  You'll be at 10 dpo by 10/20, definitely far enough to be a member of the club =)

@HopingToBeaMama:  Thanks!  I know it's better to wait, that's part of the reason I'm hoping to get other ladies to wait with me so we can be strong together.  When I got my bfp, I'm pretty sure I was 12dpo, so I would like to wait till 14 dpo to make sure this time.

@mrskesslertobe: Thanks!

@Mrs Green Grass:  I'm definitely going to try very hard to wait!

@chastenet - We're on cycle 9, TTC #1 as well. Tried to take this month 'off' of charting, because of stress and family stuff, but I can't seem to leave it completely alone. So while my Fertility Friend account is lonely, the Babies boards over here are getting a lot of visits. So sorry about your m/c - my good friend just m/c-ed on Tuesday and my heart just breaks.

@redsmarties: I find it impossible to be TTC and relaxed about the whole thing...I totally understand that you've replaced FF visit with WB visits!  I'm making way too many visits to both to be honest :)  Yes, m/c is a very difficult thing to go through, but over time it gets better.  There are still moment when it kind of comes back to haunt me, but I'm mostly trying to focus on TTC, again. 

@chrispygal: well if you still get a BFN on 10/17, we'll be waiting for you on 10/20!

@bunny: Yay!  Welcome bunny! 

@bunny: 8 dpo, creamy CM, I'm gassy, super tired and have minor cramping. Yesterday I felt a little nauseous after each meal, but not today.

I'm 6 DPO, with creamy CM, ridiculous fatigue and absolutely no other symptoms. Usually by now I've got sore boobs, I'm nauseous, I'm cramping, and my face is a super break-out mess. So something's a little different this cycle, anyhow.

@chrispygal - You can do it! I always hate waiting to test again, but 12 DPO is still kind of on the fence...might be too early! Fingers crossed that AF stays away.

I haven't been diligently charting this month, so I'm only assuming that I'm 6/7 DPO (based on symptoms, usual cycle length etc). Its killing me not to just POAS right now, just in case...but I'm determined to wait until 10/20 with you girls.

Yay, I'm excited there are so many of you with me, (kind of) waiting for Thursday!!!  I am willing myself not to test before then..I don't have any tests at home so that helps, and DH won't be home till Weds night so I want to do it when he's here.

Anyway, 11 dpo, temps have been pretty high, there was kind of a slow rise and then a dip at 9 dpo that could have been an implantation dip?  Basically it's a waiting game every day to see what my temps will be like the next morning and if AF comes...  I have creamy cm, cp is high and soft/medium, I'm super tired, have had cramping a tiny bit of nausea and this morning my boobs started to hurt...Thursday couldn't come soon enough!

@Ree723 - ooh, that sounds promising! Now I'm going to obsess over my lack of symptoms, haha.

I'm usually a fairly patient person, but there's a whole whack of outside circumstances this month that are driving me crazy. We just found out two weeks ago that DH's father has Stage 4 cancer in his pancreas, liver, kidneys and spleen, and he's been given a very short time to live. The first thing FIL said to me when he got the diagnosis was "I want to live to meet my grandkids". He didn't know we were TTC, he was just expressing his sadness, but it made me want to cry. We're trying!! I felt like telling him.

So that renewed our TTC efforts...I'm seriously praying for this month, if only for FIL's sake. He won't live to meet him or her, but at least I can give FIL a little bit of hope, you know what I'm saying?

@redsmarties: So sorry to hear about your FIL... you may want to consider telling him that you guys are trying!

@redsmarties:  I'm so sorry that you and DH and family are going through such a difficult situation with your FIL.  If I were you, I would tell him that I was trying...But of course that decision needs to be made by you and DH.  You're in my thoughts.

And since we've got a lot of ladies who are more 10/25...We'll have to extend our group!  Let's say that any BFN on 10/20 have to wait till 10/25 to retest if no AF!  :)
