Testing at 9dpo/ 10dpo

167 replies

Lookingforadvice15 · 13/04/2018 12:07

Is testing at 9/10 dpo really too early? This is the stage i am at, tested twice...both bfns, once today once yesterday.

I remember with dd i was at least 4 days before af when i got my bfp so i am feeling pretty much out..when i had high hopes this month.

Countdown to pregnancy site says 47% bfp by 9dpo and 66% by 10dpo.

Im feeling some symptoms but duno if im over spotting. Had tiny tinge of brown discharge today when i wiped, af due in four days.

Hi @LP17 - welcome to our tww!!x

babyhopeful2018 · 03/05/2018 20:10

Aww that's pants @Lookingforadvice15 but we are all here for each other!!

I've felt really down this month two as 6 of my friends all announced they are pregnant, obviously I'm happy for them but it does hurt!!

I think positive thoughts for us all over the next 2 weeks and hopefully we will all join in on the bfp news xxx

Hi all!
Here again so soon! Lol
I am on cd18, dtd last night, +opk and ov cramps today. That is now three months in a row ive got my +opk on cd18 so feel my body is kind of regulating. We will dtd again either tonight or tomorrow.

I have fingers crossed for everyone on this thread.

Dont know if any of you have read my other thread - When the universe kicks you right in the vagina....
Basically my sister just found out yesterday she is pregnant with her fourth..unplanned...missed her pill (once apparently) and shes pregnant. So im going to feel extra down this month if im out xx

@babyhopeful2018 I'm also in the TWW (6 DPO) and this time the last 2 months I was already feeling ratty and had sore boobs. Symptom spotting the absence of symptoms Grin fingers crossed for you!

babyhopeful2018 · 03/05/2018 18:21

@babyhopeful2018

Aww sorry to hear that! BabyHopeful2018.

Didnt even see your last post. You can use an opk as a pregnancy test but i wouldnt rely on it. Thats how my sister found out she was preggo with her 2nd.

What cycle will this be for you?

OP posts:
BabyHopeful2018 · 19/04/2018 13:31

Aww think I'm out this month girls ☹️

Think AF just arrived 4 days early!! Gutted as had soo many positive symptoms over the past week!!

I ovulated earlier than normal too this month so I should have expected it!!

Oh well definitely having a glass of wine this weekend and next week on my birthday!!xx

BabyHopeful2018 · 18/04/2018 07:01

Aww I'm sorry to hear all the AF news girls! Really had my fx for you all. I'm sure next month is gonna be your month Smile

My AF is due on Monday, had a few symptoms this week, sore back, sensitive nipples, very hormonal, feeling nauseous but I think it's just my body playing tricks this month.

Trying best to hold out until Monday to test but I know I probably won't have will power.
Can you test with opk?? Spied this earlier in post??xx

@Help201602 ive heard of agnus castus, i would i be careful with them. Ive heard they can effect hormone levels and your only meant to take them up til ovulation.

Help201602 · 16/04/2018 20:11

@Lookingforadvice16 Thanks

I was looking at thermometers this morning but thought I’d hold off buying one just in case! Also looking at other vitamins that I’ve heard others talking about like agnus cactus and cassanovum. Will probably test every day until af as have two more tests to waste with my clear blue monitor :(

Its meant to help with implantation apparently....
natural-fertility-info.com/bromelain-pineapple-for-implantation.html
Seen a lot of people on here talking about it recently, will give it a bash.

I was using conceive plus because it was cheaper. Then decided to buy preseed as the first month i used this last time i conceived dd, no such luck this time round.

You're right about the thermometer :)

I was also taking seven seas - trying to conceive tablets for 2 mths, read that they mess with your cycles so i stopped and started taking your box standard folic acid....but i was thinking bout switching back to multi vits this month instead lol
Dont know whats right or wrong anymore. If you didnt laugh you'd cry!

@jasmin93
Congratulations on your positive. What wonderful news!

@lookingforadvice15 @lp17 that’s rubbish! Completely know how you feel and I hope AF is short lived so you can get back to it. As a positive, tonight must be wine time for you as a reward for all that mental angst. My next cycle will be 5 too although I have no excuse for the beast in the east.

I’ve had worsening back ache today with twinges/sharp cramps. Really think I’m with you ladies and AF is coming. However, I do think if your AF has arrived I must’ve ovulated slightly later than I originally thought. I know you may not check this thread anymore but I’ll post whatever happens just incase.

LP17 · 16/04/2018 19:34

@LookingForAdvice15 ooooh what's pineapple core about? I've just got some pre-seed as well, we have been using conceive plus but pre-seed reviews are better.

I think I'm just going to see how I go with the thermometer - my logic with stuff like that is it's just a thermometer, how wrong/bad could it be? If the temp is inaccurate and I carry on using the same one it will be consistently inaccurate so should still be able to spot patterns :) I'm also switching from a pre-natal multivitamin to a b complex & folic acid separately as apparently some of the multivitamins can affect cycle length?!

Lookingforadvice15 · 16/04/2018 18:30

@lp17 yip really shit. I was looking on amazon last night but a lot of them didnt have great reviews. Ive also ran out of ic ovulation sticks as well as cb digital ones..more expense!

This month im also going to try pineapple core after ovulation. Ive got preseed which i have been using, not everytime right enough and taking folic acid.

Anyone else trying something different this month?

OP posts:
LP17 · 16/04/2018 18:05

@LookingForAdvice15 oh I'm sorry - it's so shit isn't it. I ordered mine off Amazon, I was looking for one that measures to two decimal points for accuracy.

Hey all, just a quick update to let you know that af got me this morning ☹ so defo out! Moving on...cycle 5! Im gona call it cycle 4 since Feb my dp was trapped in another town by the Beast from the East during ovulation so no db'in lol.

@Help201602 and @glera i still have my fx for both of you.

@LP17 looks like we're cycle buddies :) think im going to buy a thermometer tomorrow. Where did you get yours? I might as well just try temping this month, see how it goes.

@BabyHopeful2018 fx for you. What a great bday present that would be!

Help201602 · 16/04/2018 13:41

Bfn at 11dpo. My Clearblue fertility monitor says 74% 0f pregnancies detected 3 days before af due so obviously hoping that I’m in the 26% lol. Think I’m in denial as per every month. Having some cramping so af probably on its way.

BabyHopeful2018 · 16/04/2018 12:43

Hi All

My AF is due next Monday so I’m trying to hold off until the to test as last month I literally tested every day for 5 days until AF came which cost a fortune and totally disappointed me and put me down due to all the BFN!!

Fingers crossed this month especially as it’s my bday next Wednesday xx

LP17 · 16/04/2018 12:08

@LookingForAdvice glad I didn't POAS, AF has arrived this morning. So disappointed. But my thermometer is also due to arrive today so hoping this will help make sure timing is accurate. Might use with OPKs so that I'm not 'wasting' months trying to get used to temping charts etc.

@Glera - good job he's hidden the tests as AF arrived early and I've been wanting to test since Saturday. Saved ourselves a bit of money at least! Moving on to cycle 4 now - 1st cycle we just had sex every single day which got a bit ridiculous, 2nd cycle we tried the same but with OPKs, which we also did this month. 4th cycle will be temping & potentially OPKs as well depending on how difficult charting is. I am worried about doing 'too much' and know I need to relax but feel like I can't relax without knowing exactly what's going on down there!!! Blush
