Testing at 9dpo/ 10dpo

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.

Also i feel like i have had more symptoms this month than any other month...
Sicky feeling
Light headed
Heartburn etc
All other months the only thing ive had is cramping for a full week before af.
This month i have only had slight cramping today, and it is very light.

I duno....its my mums birthday tomorrow and shes so supportive. Would have loved to have given her a positive test as a present, would have made her day...but oh well

My EDD would have been Xmas day so i suppose ive dodged that lol. At this point i wasnt caring right enough.

@glera thank you for such a nice post. I feel so emotional today, hormones flying everywhere no doubt. I have been off the pill since Dec but didnt think i would be taking it this hard each month 😢

Thanks @nellythepink....i was hoping upon hope thinking maybe it could be, but then when i took the opk this morning and it was more or less blank i thought well if i was surely the opk would be even be showing darker.

I will probs still buy another test later today...just cause im an idiot 😂

Also, I had some light bleeding a few days before that, so it's not over til AF. Good luck xx

NellythePink · 14/04/2018 12:07

I think I got mine at 11/12

Glera · 14/04/2018 11:54

I don’t want to give false hope but it really isn’t over until AF arrives.

Perhaps this could be implantation bleeding although I know not everyone gets that.

I try to think about it like this: I would rather wait another month and have a successful pregnancy than my body get pregnant but not carry full term. Hopefully when our bodies are ready, the positive will come.

It may not help but we have to be positive for each other.

Fingers still crossed. 🤞

@lookingforadvice15 sorry about af. Good luck everyone. Bfn on my Clearblue advanced fertility monitor this morning but only 9dpo so still holding onto hope.

Hi all,

I've not been around as I thought it would help take my mind off the TWW... it didn't work! Congratulations to those with BFPs and hugs to those who've had an unwelcome visitor.

AF is due on Tuesday according to Natural Cycles, so I'll mainly be spending the weekend over-analysing my temperature graph, scrutinising my cervix and avoiding any shops that sell pregnancy tests! The plan is currently to test on Wednesday if AF hasn't shown up.

Just a quick update...im getting more brown discharge this morning when i wipe - sorry tmi. I am also getting some light cramps and feel really light headed.

Defo feel like this is the start of af...few days earlier than expected. (Due on tues)

I have no pregnancy tests left so took an opk which was all i had lying around and there wasnt even a hint of a line on that which should still detect the hormones.

I feel so utterly down today. Im just fed up and disappointed 😢😢

Minimums*

Stupid phone 🙄

It probably is too early. You won’t get a BFP until a few days after implantation, which can happen between 6-12 dpo.

It could be that you haven’t implanted yet, or it hasn’t been long enough for your hcg levels to meet the test minumums.

Fingers crossed though :) x

Glera · 14/04/2018 00:39

I’m 10dpo today and did a test. It was unsurprisingly a bfn which is disappointing but still time.

Fingers crossed for you. Please keep us posted; it’s very rare to actually hear the outcomes from these threads. 🤞

Hi! Loads of people test early.... the frer is literally made for people like us! I got my bfp in January at 8dpo if that’s helps x

Help201602 · 13/04/2018 16:39

It’s so hard isn’t it. I tested this morning at 8dpo, I know I shouldn’t but all rational thought goes out the window. With my son I didn’t test til a week late because I was abroad without my partner. I don’t know how I resisted!
