Testing the week of Thanksgiving 11/22-11/28

[SoonToBe]

I have no clue how people keep lists of people and stuff, but I thought I'd start a testing thread for those testing Nov 22-28 since there is one up ending on the 21st.  I am currently 4dpo and this is our first month of TTC.  This 2WW is harder than I thought.  I saw alot of other 3-5dpo people in the Fabulous One thread too.  I'm new here so I have no idea what I'm doing.  If you usually keep it to the ONE thread, no feelings hurt here.  Just trying to meet new people and talk with others that are in the same boat.

I'll join you!!  I am planning on testing Nov 26th.  No idea how many dpo I am since we were staying with my family that week so my sleep was totally screwed up.  I'm just going by the average length of my past cycles to pick a test day:)  We have been trying for two years and are currently using Clomid.  What a great Thanksgiving Weekend blessing it would be to see a BFP!!!!

I'm half on board too....  I'm 6dpo today, AF is due on the 26th, so if she stays away I'll test on the 28th....

(I say "half" because I'd really like to wait until she's later than that - but I've only EVER been one day late (clockwork 28days), so if I make it to 2 days I'll be excited!!)

[MommyMatsumoto]

I'm in!  I'm testing the day before Thanksgiving. :)

[SoonToBe]

I'm testing the day before Thanksgiving too.  I wish you all baby dust!!!  Indianagirl, I hope your 2 year wait is over.  Crossing all my crossables for you!!

Silly Americans, Thanksgiving was a month ago! 

But yes, I am in.  I am 4DPO-ish.  I haven't been temping this month but based on CM and my usual O-date I am pretty sure I O'd on Saturday.

I am 7 or 8 DPO and going to test Next Tues morning, right before my grandma arrives to stay with me.  I am having a watery mouth, I kind of feel like maybe we did it but I don't want to get my hopes up.  I am really stupid, I have a test in the house.  I don't know how I will hold out till Tuesday with it in my bathroom calling my name

[Ayame87]

I'm CD 45, with what seems like almost every symptom in book, no sign of AF and just plain confused.  I hope I will know so I can DH's whole family at Thanksgiving dinner!

I'm in! I'm 3DPO right now, and AF is due on 11/28.  I am never (well, rarely) late, so if AF doesn't show up, I will test.  That's my plan. But I might go crazy and start testing next week anyway!  Good luck everyone!!!

I'm starting to think I will cave before my intended test date.  I some internet cheapies (10 of them) and I ordered FRER (3 pack) and I am obsessed right now.  I can't imagine waiting a whole more week!  This is nuts!  I don't know how some of you ladies do this month after month.  I am getting nothing done at work, am researching obsessively about vitamins, and can't think of anything else.  Glad there are so many of us.

Hi there,

Just joining in.  I'm clueless on when I will first test.  DPO #10 is our wedding anniversary so it will be very hard not to test that morning!  Plus I have a short LP (8-9 days) unless I take over the counter progesterone (then it can go up to 12 days).  Which I obviously am.  Part of me wants to justify that 10 DPO makes total sense to test since naturally I am "late" then when untreated. LOL

Thanks for starting the thread!

[SoonToBe]

I hope you get a nice anniversary present!

My first few months TTC were exactly like that, I didn't get anything done at work! However I'm now on month 4 and I can't really think of anything else to research, and also I am less hopeful than I was the previous months hehe so it's easier to not be obsessive.

I'm not going to officially join but I do plan to lurk on this thread! I think I'm currently 1 DPO (or Oing today, its hard to tell at this point), which would mean that AF is due around the 28th (I have a short LP), but I probably won't bother to test unless I am late, so I may or may not belong in this thread!

Either way I am stalking you ladies

[BeantownBaby9]

can someone smack me? I tested, BFN, at 8DPO.  Not even FMU.  I am an idiot.  Please, a virtual smack is needed.

You're welcome. 

[OakTreeMom]

*SMACK *   Just for you Bean.  I am lurking along after an early MC and I hope to start testing the first of Dec.  I wish you all sticky babies and baby dust.  Good Luck!!!

[SoonToBe]

What is FMU?  I'd probably figure it out if I thought long enough. :)

I might be testing early too...trying to hold out!

[HopefullyMama]

Sourire, we're pretty much cycle buddies at this point lol.  I think I'm O'ing today, or I O'd yesterday....and this is my 4th month.  I'm going to try to hold out for the end of the month...I'm due for AF on Dec 1st or 2nd, I think.  So I really shouldn't be on this thread.....but I will be stalking as well.

 to everyone.

[HopefullyMama]

Oh, and SoonToBe, FMU = first morning urine, which statistically has the highest concentration of hcg (the hormone that pregnancy tests test for).  Good luck!
