9dpo and negative test

Hey @MrsMcNtobe !! How are you doing girl?

@Martina2311 I will definitely buy evening primrose oil for next cycle (not getting my hopes up this month!). I haven’t tracked temps but that’s something I’ll start doing from next month!

Was due to ovulate 17th/18th but I have a tiny bit of discomfort on my left side so wonder if it’s happening today, less CM just a tiny bit of thick sort of tacky clear stuff 🤢 typical didn’t DTD last night as we were out for dinner and OH is at the football tonight so might need to stay up late to fit it in!

There’s nothing worse than your mind playing tricks on you, try to stay relaxed and imagine what Christmas next year will be like with a new baby! 😍

Hello @MrsMcNtobe! Hope you are doing well! It's good you have this attitude, enjoy the festive time and after the new year, get right into it :) I will be missing my Bayleys coffee over the Christmas time! 🤐
Yes, you take the evening primrose oil from your period until you ovulate. I actually started eating it a bit later than CD1...think maybe week or so later but the main thing is that you stop at ovulation. Are you tracking your temps as well? It helped me to confirm that the ovulation actually happened as the Opks were sometimes positive and then the body tried again in a week time or so. Along the Opks I also used the Clear Blue ovulation predictor as that gives you more advanced notice of your fertile period compared to Opks.
DH is really happy and so is my son but I guess we will relax more once after first scan. I had a terrible nightmare today that I miscarried, that I started bleeding at work :( It woke me up and I was so disturbed by it, I couldn't sleep for another 3 hours. :(

@Martina2311 yeah I’ve saw people using Pregnacare and Seven Seas but Pregnacare seems to get the better reviews! With the Evening Primrose Oil did you just take during fertile week or from CD1 until ovulation? I don’t have any OPKs this month I’m still slightly overthinking but nowhere near as stressed as the last few months. I just keep telling myself to enjoy the last few weeks of the year. I’m not much of a drinker but I’m going to force myself to have one or two and join in with everyone else.

Hopefully you hear about dates for bloods etc then it’s something to look forward to! Is your OH over the moon? X

Omg sorry for all the typos. Writing on my phone 🙈

*January 22nd

@MrsMcNtobe glad that you are feeling much better so you can enjoy your Christmas time and then be ready and refreshed for the new year. Its good That you are sleeping motivated, positive and have plans! By the pre conception vitamins, do you mean the Pregnacare conception? I havent fried those but think I've seen they are for woman and men too. I was eating only the folic acid about 1,5 months before, now continuing with Pregnacare plus. Last pregnancy i had a trouble swallowing them, they kept making me sick lol but this time its ok. I've heared a really good feedback on the pre seed so good luck with that!! I would also recommend the Evening Primrose oil tablets. I used them with the last cycle and I did notice increase in the fertile cm. You take one daily before your ovulation. Then you stop.
With the smells, Im not 100% sure. I did notice it irritates me more recently when someone smokes near me or when I smell a petrol and this type of smells. But then again its cole outside so the air is fresher and maybe thats why its more intense.
We are staying in the Uk this year. Sending 2 days with our close friends and 2 days with my partners sister and her family. We have told a few close friends and family but not all. Mainly the ones who we would want to go through it together even if things dont go well. We were planning to tell our friends over Christmas but I dont think I will get my blood tests before that so not sure yet. Seams like they usually schedule the first appointment around 8-9 weeks so Im guessing mine will be the first week of January with a scan on January 2nd.

Hi @MrsAW2018! I would say its not fault, when the control line is well visible. When did you take the photo? Sometimes it takes time for the ink to "settle"? 10 DPO is still quite early so try tresting again :)

@Martina2311 I’ve also been reading that grapefruit juice 🤢 and decaf green tea help with CM so I’ll give that a bash too! X

@Martina2311 you definitely have to keep me updated! I’ll live my dream through you until it’s my turn!

That’s crazy how your sense of smell just completely changes.

We’re having a quiet christmas. I’m due to ovulate 17th I’m much better and luckily OH has a great sex drive! After the new year I’m going to change everything and be more healthy, start pre-conception vitamins etc and maybe some pre-seed lube too 🙈

What’s your Christmas plans? Have you told many people yet? X

@MrsAW2018 I’m really not sure, can’t really see a 2nd line! Try FRER everyone on here seems so have a lot of success with them!

Sorry to jump in and post without introducing myself. I'm currently 10dpo and just had this test. The dye is running so not sure whether it's faulty or not!

I think it's a BFN but is it a faulty test?!

Hey @MrsMcNtobe! That doesn't sound nice, are you better now?? I think it's a good idea to relax over Christmas and have a little break. Have you got any nice plans?
I've been good. Haven't really got many symptoms, actually once my breasts stopped hurting and I freaked put a bit but it came back 2 days later. I've put on about 1,5 kg, guessing my body is storing fat and I've been also more relaxed about eating..thinking I can snack more often now since I will get big anyways 😅
I still haven't seen a doctor for a blood test, they are still supposed to invite me..I only received my 12 week scan appointment but the first one should still come. I think it won't be until after new years. I still test now and then and keep measssuring my temps. I know it means almost nothing but the wait to find out if everything is ok is just so long 😐 I also don't have any other symptoms than the breast pain. Maybe I am a little more sensitive to cigarette, fuel and any bad smell...But not sure if I'm only imagining it. So I'm just really hoping that everything is ok...that my hcg is raising as it should, because I really dont feel much pregnant. Maybe I am just lucky lol but a little nausea here and there would reassure me I guess. 🤔

@Martina2311 hey chick! So sorry I’ve been totally floored the last week. An ear infection and labyrinthitis 😭😭 AF came and went, gonna just chill this month and start again in the new year. How are you keeping?? Xx

@MrsMcNtobe Hey girl! Any update? X

@MrsMcNtobe aaah it's really hard to tell, I can't see much but I can imagine you see it better live. Photos are not as accurate. But if something was there, tomorrow should definitely be more visible if no AF. Give me an update! 🤗 do you do your opks to predict your ovulation? X

@Martina2311 that’s so amazing I’m so happy for you!! This was my test yesterday I think I’m imagining a tiny smudge on it but I know there’s nothing there. I’ll test tomorrow though if AF doesn’t show!

Usually I have terrible hunger before AF but the total opposite this month!

Typo again: with FRER not Free

Oh and this is the test yesterday. If you zoom in you can see the tiniest line. 😅

@MrsMcNtobe thank you! Let's hope it's a strong baby and stays where it is! 🙂 Yesterday, I didn't expect anything from the test to be honest. I had zero symptoms, except painful breasts, but I get that anyways before AF. You know how many times I tested with Free my previous cycle, so seeing the tiny line there this time left me shocked and in tears. I knew it can't be a false positive as I knew it was still early. I will attach a separate photo of the test from yesterday, you can hardly see it but it's there!! I couldn't sleep well last night, guessing from the excitement and it was sooo difficult not to say anything to my DH especially because we went out for a dinner alone. But I just want to wait until I can do the digital test that clearly says Pregnant. Dont want to show him something and be like 'Can you see the faint line?' I am planning on telling him on Monday or Tuesday. It will be his birthday on the 12th so will give him his present early and when he opens it (a backpack) he will find the test in one of the pockets. :)

Spotting at 10DPO could definitely be an implantation but it's hard to say. I know that some women get spotting around ovulation and then before AF but since yours is not due until tomorrow it's a bit unsure. Let's see what tmrw brings then! I will keep my fingers crossed for you 🤗 How have you been feeling the whole 2 weeks wait? I didn't think it will work out cause I really didn't feel any different apart from having a bit of cold. But I was measssurimg my temps and they stayed high all the time...also I knew for sure that we didn't miss the fertile window because we BD on the day of ovulation and two days before. I also used an evening primrose oil before ovulation to help the mucus be more fertile and I was using my usual opk every day and more times a day around the possible time of ovulation as well as I bought a Clear Blue digital ovulation tests that show you surge in estrogen already before your OPK gets positive. So think that helped. Both had same results and then temperature confirmed ovulation so I knew we didn't miss it for sure. It's strange to actually know when we conceived. 🙈 3 days before my son's birthday! 😀

@Martina2311 I meant to tell you about my wee minute bit of spotting!!!! Thursday the teeniest wee finger print size bit of realllly pale pink blood... that would have been 10DPO, think it meant anything?

@Martina2311 Hi!!! OMFG congratulations!!!!!!! I’m so F’ing happy for you!!!!

12DPO today for me! Tested yesterday I want to say there was the teeniest wee line but honestly I don’t think there was! AF due tomorrow so I might pick some up and test then, I’m not really hopeful but I’ll keep you updated!

Let me know what DH says, I’m so bloody happy for you!!!

Sorry for the typos. Hey - not hry
