9dpo and negative test

Marshmallow1992 · 02/10/2018 19:58

I wondered if anyone else would like to share their experience with me! I am 9dpo and took a test this morning and it was BFN. Is this way too early to test? I see lots of people getting BFP at 9dpo and wondered if there should definitely be even the faintest line? I’m so impatient and the wait is killing me. I tested using the FR 6 days earlier test so really if going by that, I should have shown positive as AF is due on Friday. I’d love to hear other people’s experiences as I feel I can’t really speak to any of my friends as they all conceived first month of trying and wouldn’t understand. We are on our third cycle of TTC and I know this isn’t long at all.
Thanks in advance xx

@Martina2311 LOL wait until you're shouting him from the bathroom to come and look at your CM. They don't appreciate the miracle as much as we do or all the crazy factors that go into making the perfect environment for a little person! Good luck xxx

@Fuddlestix My partner can't believe how much I'm into this. This is our first month and all this info is so new to me because first time I fell pregnant, it was unplanned. So I'm doing lots of research and I feel like its so interesting so I keep telling him but his face just tells me none of it makes sense to him lol last night he told me that he hears way too much of "cycle, estrogen, implantation, cramps, hormons, period etc etc" words. He can be happy I haven't started explaining him the differences between CM during our period Grin

@Chanel05 this is my third(ish) cycle TTC. I've not had periods for 4years from being on the depo after MC they only came back this may. Forgot how a cycle works and started counting after the end of my period so DTD too late the first time. Its good talking to other women about this stuff, very educational! How long have you been trying for? I'm hoping because I'm just under 30 it will happen in 6months max but who knows!

Chanel05 · 04/10/2018 17:57

@Lubilu28 hope that it turns out to be a bfp for you! I’ve so far resisted buying cheapies as I’d be testing like a mad woman!

@Fuddlestix dh lets me get on with it but always says that people have been getting pregnant for thousands of years without all of the things we’re using. I am an all or nothing person and enjoy doing all the bits and bobs! How long have you been ttc for?

@Marshmallow1992 well you’re not feeling af either so you’re not out yet!!

MrsMcNtobe · 04/10/2018 17:54

@Libilu28 good luck chick!

Lubilu28 · 04/10/2018 17:22

It’s so nice to see I’m not alone in the mad obsession of googling everything 😂 my friends think I’m mad!!

Ttc no 2, on month 3 of trying, I’m 10/11 dpo and af is due on sat/sun!! I tested this afternoon and a bfn, but when I tweaked it I think I can see a squinter but I’ve said that every month so it’s deffo a bfn!

I don’t feel like I’m pregnant as I’m having all the same symptoms as the last 2 months!!

The tww is getting rather depressing, I keep finding myself tear up when I see a baby or pregnant lady on the tv 🙈 it’s getting ridiculous lol

Going to test again in the morning as I’ve got loads of cheapies so I’ll keep u posted xx

9dpo and negative test
Marshmallow1992 · 04/10/2018 16:45

@Fuddlestix so sorry to hear about your MC and good luck to you too!
@Chanel05 sorry to hear about the BFN. I didn’t test today. Can’t wait for tomorrow but kind of dreading it as I have a strong feeling that I’m not pregnant but just need to keep trying! I have so much on this month though and we are at a wedding the weekend of ovulation so it’s not exactly ideal 😭.

How's everyone's partners? I think mines ready for it to be over now he gets scared around ovulation time and calls me a praying mantis. 😂

Chanel05 · 04/10/2018 16:40

@marshmallow1992 well here’s hoping that its a good sign! Embrace the cake either way! If nothing has happened this month then I just want af to arrive and crack on really. I tested this morning and it was a bfn with a frer so I’m not going to test again!

Fuddlestix · 04/10/2018 16:31

@Marshmallow1992 I had zero symptoms when I fell pregnant a few years ago (MC) I didn't realise I was pregnant until 7weeks because it dawned on me I hadn't had a period for awhile and still had no symptoms, so anything is possible. Fingers,toes,eyes crossed for you

Marshmallow1992 · 04/10/2018 16:29

@Chanel05 I’m not sure! I have eaten so much cake today at work so I have a sore stomach but I’m not sure if it’s that or some cramp 😂. Really just waiting until tomorrow morning as my cycle has been very regular 28 days so I’m not getting my hopes up until tomorrow morning if AF doesn’t arrive but I really think it will. Have you tested today?

@Marshmallow1992 are the usual pre af feelings absent still? I have none either.

Marshmallow1992 · 04/10/2018 16:15

@Fuddlestix that is meant to be a pregnancy symptom! Still no symptoms here, keeping my fingers crossed AF doesn’t come tomorrow but I have an enormous feeling it will! 😭

Has anyone had any food aversions or metallic tastes? Ive just eaten the same chili tomato sauce I always have and had to spit it out. It made me gag, it was so metallic almost like blood. Monster munch taste like crap as well which I'm gutted about. I thought I just had a bad bag but they're all bad

Martina2311 · 04/10/2018 12:03

@MrsMcNtobe I also had a random sharp pain under my belly button yesterday which was just really out of no where. But I seriously don't know if it's just me suddenly paying attention to these small feelings because it's my first month doing this...that's most probably the case. But it's good to learn about your body. It's all quite new but interesting. I want to try the measssuring because this month I only tried a few ovulation tests around the dates I thought I'd be ovulating. And I thought I did catch it...one evening I had EWCM and the next morning I had my first positive ovulation test...in the evening it was negative again. Before that, we BD 2 times on the day of EWCM and before that every other day. So I was quite positive that there is a chance. But I guess I should do the testing a bit longer to be 100% sure. After the positive ov. test I was feeling symptoms of raising progesteron but then at the beginning of this week I felt like I had secondary estrogen surge and since then my progesteron symptoms are slowly disappearing.

MrsMcNtobe · 04/10/2018 11:49

@Martina2311 a lot of my symptoms have gone today too Sad I’ve had a few sharp pains down there like in my noony 😂 god knows what that means! I might get a BT thermometer too though

Martina2311 · 04/10/2018 11:37

Morning ladies! Just thought of updating. I couldn't resist and tested this morning with a BFN as a result. Symptoms are weird and unreliable. I am not bloated anymore and my acne is worse (I always suffer from it but worse for the last 2 days)...feels like my progesteron is going slowly down... and almost seams like AF might be on the way. But the lower back pain yesterday was so unusual for me (much better today) and my bbs are still not sore as they always are long before AF is due. So it's so confusing this month. :( I'm thinking that next month I might try the temperature measuring to be really sure about ovulation days. Can anyone recommend a realiable BT thermometer? Still hoping I won't need it by that time anymore, but thinking ahead. Hope you all have a good day xxSmile

Marshmallow1992 · 04/10/2018 08:32

@Chanel05 no AF symptoms but I don’t ever really get them until at least the night before! I don’t feel any different from what I normally do. In the mornings when I get up I feel a bit run down but after a few hours I feel fine! Think I’m being too obsessed! Just need to wait one more day 🙈 xx

OP posts:
Chanel05 · 04/10/2018 08:07

@Marshmallow1992 that’s also my thought 😂. Feel like I’m on borrowed time though! Don’t feel like I’ve got af symptoms yet but a little bit poorly and run down. Feel like I’ve got a throat infection 🙈. How are you feeling today?

Marshmallow1992 · 04/10/2018 07:50

@Chanel05 there might just not be enough hormones yet to detect. That’s what I’m trying to think, trying to be positive but it’s hard! It’s so difficult seeing BFN 😢.

Ha it's so funny reading about people reacting the same way, especially googling symptoms. I've just woken up and asked Google the same question for the millionth time expecting a different answer or it to say YES you're pregnant stop asking me!! I've bought loads of paint and decorating tatt to distract myself with for the next 5 days I just need a pad lock for the tests!

Chanel05 · 04/10/2018 06:46

No temp drop this morning so took a test and it’s a bfn. Going to ride it out now as my body is playing tricks on me and af will come as a surprise. Good luck ladies!

Kelzshandalot · 04/10/2018 06:22

Welshpugmomma · 03/10/2018 22:48

Martina2311 · 03/10/2018 22:28

@Marshmallow1992 I feel for you! I've got my tests in my bedside table and I'm tempted to try again tomorrow morning :D but I am trying to be patient and wait until at least Friday when I will be at 10-11DPO. :)
