I am 5 DPO today and looking for my cycle buddies!! When are you planning on testing? When is AF due?

AF is due for me on Halloween - what a day for the which to arrive, I sure do hope she doesn't think she is entitled to show up just cause its her day!! I am going to try testing at 11 DPO on the 28th.

ME ME im 6DPO Im going to try to wait until the 27th to test...but I highly doubt that will happen. Im too excited!

I'm only 3 DPO today, but I'd like to join you on this thread! No IPS yet of course but I'm sure they'll be here in no time. Based on my average LP of 12 days, AF should be due around Halloween but she might show a little before then. So I'm planning on waiting until Halloween to test or the 29th at the absolute very earliest!

Can I join ? According to FF I"m 3 DPO although who knows.....I am ready to throw my Walgreens BBT at a brick wall !!!! Not feeling hopefully AT ALL this month since I just found out DH's SA was abnormal. Oh well, wishful thinking....

[FusionGirl]

The more the merrier!

Jenisuzy I remember your post about DH's SA. Did you decide if you were going to get a 2nd opinion? Do you know the reason as to why? I worry my DH has the same problem, he is on an SSRI (antidepressant) and I have read it can cause problems. We haven't checked anything yet. I think mainly I just want to have a reason as to why I haven't gotten a BFP yet LOL.

As far as DH's SA goes, I talked with my doc & we are going to repeat his SA again in 6-8wks. I also talked to the med tech who did the SA she sort of reassured me that his abnormals werent "too bad" but still, abnormal is abnormal. She just suggested that the next SA specimen gets to the lab asap (which it was last time) and sometimes when they are stressed out it can affect results (isnt that the truth !! ) Anyways, has your DH had an SA done ? It took us a while to get to this point because I want it to happen naturally. But then again we're on cycle #20 so something has to help us sooner or later...

Im here with ya, too. I already want to test- ha- so I know that I probably wont make it til AF is due (which is Halloween for me too). I thought about testing on Monday, but may try to wait til Tues or Wed just so I have less chance of seeing that BFN.

[KatieHeitman]

I'm 4 DPO. I'm going to test on Halloween, I will be 13DPO then. My cycles are irregular so I don't know when to expect AF, but FF, my temps, and OPK's all tell me I O'd on CD27.

[destiny9899]

Im right there with you girls. is due on the 30th so if she doesnt show (fingers crossed) I will be testing as well!

[Vincent'sMommy]

Yay for more Halloween (or day before Halloween) testers!! Here's some baby dust for all of us!



The first week of this wait is going by so slow for me!! At least in the second week you get some symptoms to over-analyze! Anyone 6-7 DPO have any symptoms (real or imaginary) yet?

[ccfishers]

I am with you gals too!, I have not really had any symptoms yet, at 7dpo, but I did notice the veins in my hands and wrist were really blue and poking out more than normal last night, I got a little excited, and then calmed myself down, I know it is just another IPS, I have had them all. LOL.AUGHHH. I hope is the month for all of us!

[FusionGirl]

The only thing I have been having is cramping. It started at about 2 DPO and it has been there everyday since. It feels just like AF cramps, I actually feel like it is starting but I know it is too early. I am hoping it is a good sign. I have not had a cycle like thisd since we started. Well actually my first cycle I had it a little bit but it felt more muscular and it was only a couple months after my surgery so I think it had to do with that.

[Meg0891]

Im also due on halloween but may not last until then. But my fingers are crossed. Im horrible at the waiting I usually don't last but seeing that a lot fo people are around the same time Maybe I will lol. Good luck to everyone.

[Mama2threeprincesses]

I am 6 DPO today, and I will probably start testing next Wed or Thurs... if i can wait until then lol!

I am planning to test Wed also

I am 5 DPO and expecting AF on 11/2. When is the earliest you should test? 10 DPO? I don't really have any symptoms yet. Only sore breasts.

[Vincent'sMommy]

Kimpow, I am 4 DPO today and expecting AF by 10/31 (if not earlier). I'm going to try to wait until at least 10 DPO to test but it's not very likely to get a BFP that early Ideally I'll be able to wait until 12 DPO.

[JessicaD]

Hi there! I'm totally new here. I'm about 6 DPO (+OPK on the 17th) and I'm driving myself crazy! This is only our 2nd cycle TTC. I'm generally impatient by nature, so this wait is not easy for me. This week has gone by soooooooo slooooow. I've been having some cramping the last couple of days, which I think is pretty weird. AF is not due til around the 29th, but I rarely even have cramping then, so we'll see what happens!

[Vincent'sMommy]

Hey Jessica! You sound a lot like me. I'm 5 DPO today, also on our 2nd cycle TTC (although our first was last year). I've been having some cramping since O as well, but I'm guessing that's probably normal and I just don't usually notice it. I never really get any PMS symptoms worth noting, just cramps after AF arries, so it should be interesting to see what the next week holds. My AF could show anywhere from the 29th through the 2nd.

[Vincent'sMommy]

I know this is totally irrational because I'm only 6 DPO today but my lack of early symptoms just makes me feel like I'm out this cycle. I know it's way too early to think that but I just have a feeling because there's no way I could be lucky enough to get it on the first try.

Anyone have any symptoms yet?
