Anyone around 9 dpo?

733 replies

lavenderlove · 29/07/2018 19:00

Hi wondering if anyone is around 9dpo and wants to join me for the agonising wait? I'm trying to hold off from testing until at least 12dpo but it's so hard! I've never obsessed over something so much and I'm only on my 2nd cycle

@lavenderlove so sorry I misread your post. Cruel for af to show up and to confuse things with cycle length. Onwards and upwards as they say x

spottypyjamas · 26/09/2018 18:39

Have you guys tested again yet? @lavenderlove @akasia

One again, I do what I always do. I'm adamant I won't teat. Found 1 ic at the bottom of the drawer and of course I test! 9dpo. A faint line has appeared but I got distracted so this was after about 10mins. I hate these tests as I got a faint line last month and it was obviously nothing. I do feel a bit different this month though, don't even know if that's possible this early.

I do have a frer to use so I will do that in the morning. Arrrrrr hate these stupid faint lines. Why do I do it to myself!!! (If I'm not pregnant I will and dup doing the same next month again I'm sure!) X

Oh no @Akasia it's so disappointing isn't it. I'm going to try and not test early from now on cos I spend half a day staring at a negative test thinking I can see lines haha. If your cervix is still high that's a good sign though! Fingers crossed for you. Yeh I used conceive plus this month but unfortunately af has arrived 3 days early for me today I'm usually like clockwork on a 28 day cycle so god knows what's gone on there x

Akasia · 26/09/2018 08:14

@lavanderlove, I did, yesterday that is.
Today I've woken up convinced af came overnight (tmi coming) as felt really wet, but it was just cm and quite a bit of it. Then I've checked for my cervix and was so high I couldn't reach so I got excited and tested with an Asda digital (notorious for false positives) and BFN. How stupid that I'm upset that I didn't even get a false positive?
I have 1 frer left and like you I am keeping it for later in the week as due af this weekend.
I know I haven't done enough this cycle only dtd 2x and only one time during my fertile window and still can't help myself!!
I am keeping my fingers crossed for you for Friday. Can't remember did you say you've used pre seed or conceive plus this cycle?

Oh no @Akasia . I'm hoping there's still time for us yet. Have you managed to hold off testing today? I have one more FRER left so going to wait until Friday now

Akasia · 24/09/2018 19:08

Thank you @blitzen.
How are things for you? Have you had a scan yet?

blitzen · 24/09/2018 18:38

Sorry @lavender and @Akasia. Still crossing my fingers for you though as 10dpo is early x

Akasia · 24/09/2018 13:41

@lavanderlove same.. did a test yesterday but had to go out so couldn't wait for the result. Looked at it this morning (I know I shouldn't have) and though I can see a faint pink line. So obviously splahsed on a frer only for it to be bfn. Such a waste!
@thethreeandme Sorry to hear you're having a bit of a rough time. How are you feeling?

Original poster

lavenderlove · 24/09/2018 09:41

Did a test today at 10dpo but BFN unfortunately. Not feeling too hopeful now

@thethree I am sorry you are having kidney problems. I hope the doc can sort you out pronto 💐

lavenderlove · 20/09/2018 11:53

@Thethreeandme oh no, not nice that you have to worry for two weeks before getting answers hopefully the worry will all be for nothing though.
And I'm going to try and wait until Wednesday to test but we will see. Just praying I see that positive. I just feel stuck in limbo at the minute because I hate my job so much but because we're TTC I don't want to get a new job because I might not be there long enough to get the full maternity package. But at the same time I'm making myself miserable and TTC could take ages ughhh

Thethreeandme · 19/09/2018 21:53

@Sophie14x I wish I was 9dpo right now, time is moving too slowly!
I have no symptoms really but I'm trying not to think too much in to it as I've convinced myself I'm pregnant for the last three months haha. Yeh that's still very early so I wouldn't worry, when are you planning on testing again? X

Aw bless you. Glad you didn't get too upset. Shame you can't try this month but I suppose 1 month won't make much difference in the long run x
I am about 4/5dpo I think. I've just realised I'm due af on the day I'm attending a wedding so she better not show up! I'm always horribly bloated before she comes too which won't look good in the dress I'm wearing!

OP posts:

Thethreeandme · 17/09/2018 20:07

Thank you all so much for thinking of me. It was difficult but I tried to stay positive for him he's so tired at the moment. Af finished today so another reminder that I have to wait even longer!! How are you all getting on? What stage are we at.. I'll throw myself into your conceptions haha xx

lavenderlove · 17/09/2018 19:36

@Thethreeandme hope this morning went ok and you wasn't too upset! I'm sure you'll do fab on your own. And bless your kids! Are you able to get them to FaceTime him with you? That might help a bit! X

@blitzen oh yeh that's a good idea! Will help to put your mind at ease X

OP posts:

blitzen · 17/09/2018 16:36

Yes, @lavender. I am thinking of doing one of those early scans privately in the meantime. Think you can do it at 8 weeks.

@thethree - how are you today? Hope your goodbye was not too awful xx

Thethreeandme · 16/09/2018 16:10

Thank you ladies, it's horrible and because it's new it's terrifying me .. there's no logic to my worry I'll just miss him so much. Think hell welcome the break 😂 you may be right and I may learn to like it but today I'm just dreading him going in the morning.. feel like a needy child .. just got to be positive about it so it's as easy as possible for him too .. the kids have found it tough knowing they won t see him and that's hard too xx

Squ1ggle · 16/09/2018 14:39

@Thethreeandme my DH works away sometimes although usually for around a week at a time, only very rarely longer than that. It's usually every few months for week long trips and then he might do a night or two away every couple of weeks. I don't like him being away but I've got used to it. Keeping to the normal routine with ds in nursery (I work full time) really helps and I've learnt to enjoy a little bit of 'me time' in the evenings watching the tv I like but he doesn't etc. I also try to maybe take ds out for a treat day or dinner out once as special time for me and him

@Thethreeandme TWW is horrible isn't it, longest 2 weeks of my life! And well done to you for not testing, I would like to think I'll do that this month but I'll probably be running to the shop at 12dpo haha.
My DH doesn't work away so I don't know exactly how you feel but hopefully you will surprise yourself with how well you cope and the month will go fast for you. My main tip would be to get in to a routine and ask your kids to chip in with little jobs when you can. Also do you have family or friends that could give you a break for a couple of hours here and there?

@blitzen I can imagine. Try not to feel anxious, although I know I will be exactly the same. It's a lot more likely that everything will be ok so try and enjoy these first few weeks bet you're on countdown to your 12 week scan!
