9dpo and negative test

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

I have resisted testing after bfn Really feel like af is on her way so bloated and gassy. Least I will know on Friday. I just want it to start and then I can start trying again! Fx for everyone awaiting BFP!

Testing tonight again, i was born impatient! Home in 2 hours!!!

Fuddlestix · 03/10/2018 17:21

Yikes, not long left to wait ladies can't wait to hear about everyones progress and hopefully BFP Grin xx

MrsMcNtobe · 03/10/2018 17:15

@Marshmallow1992 hopefully we all get BFP soon!

Marshmallow1992 · 03/10/2018 16:58

I have zero symptoms! Last month I had lots and really thought that was it!
My cycle is very regular, so should know Friday either way. I have had a lot of white, wet, sticky CM after ovulation but now it’s completely dried up just yesterday and today actually. I feel like I’m going mad symptom spotting! It’s good to talk to people on here and hear everyone’s stories as I feel I am on my own and have no one to speak to about this so thanks to everyone!
Fingers xd for us all waiting!

Oh girls! So excited for you, im just bloated! Eating loads and that! Oh hoping between us one of us get a positive!!!

MrsMcNtobe · 03/10/2018 15:00

@Fusslestix I feel the same! The amount of CM I’ve had I keep expecting some spotting or AF!

Fuddlestix · 03/10/2018 14:57

I thought I'd just come on my period a week early I've just had to run to the toilet at work. So much white shiny CM I've never had this before AF, going to hold out testing til after Monday because I don't trust my body, I feel like it's trying to trick me

MrsMcNtobe · 03/10/2018 14:09

@TwittleBee I never thought of thrush! Couldn’t tell you the last time I had it to be honest but I’ll keep an eye on that. Very light crampin at the bottom of my tummy now wondering if it’s just thrush Hmm

Hi! I am in the same situation as you. Today I should be 8-9 DPO and I've tested today - BFN. But I'm not disappointed or taking anything from it, I know this is too early and only some mums are really able to see a faint line at this stage. I rather do it so I don't miss the faint one and see the progress. I'm planning to take another test on Friday. Period expected Monday but my cycle lenght varies sometimes. I'm having a few symptoms but trying not to take them too seriously as I know it may be just in my head. This is our first month trying so J know it is very unlikely it will happen right away. With my first son I fell pregnant with our first unprotected sex without knowing when I ovulate so this is all new to me and I'm watching myself a lot these 2 weeks. However what is definitely different for me are no sore breasts prior to my period - I always get this at least 1 week before. Nothing so far. And since yesterday I am having quite intense lower back pain which I don't remember ever having. So this is different than with other cycles but I know sometimes PMS change but it's just a little coincidence I'm having this on the month when we tried. How are you feeling? I'd be also happy to be sharing this with someone as I don't want to bother my friend and DH with every detail but at the same time the wait is solo long, I feel the need to speak to someone Smile

TwittleBee · 03/10/2018 13:35

Marshmallow1992 you will get there hun! You aren't technically out just yet as you might not have even implanted yet! FX

TwittleBee · 03/10/2018 13:35

MrsMcNtobe it could be just that, "creamy CM", its a common stage CM goes through or if its building up it could be start of thrush? It is how my thrush seems to start out

MrsMcNtobe · 03/10/2018 13:30

Has anybody else had really white creamy mucus it’s quite thin, not stretchy (sorry TMI!) I have no idea what this means but I’ve had it the last few days

Marshmallow1992 · 03/10/2018 12:56

Tested again this morning 🙈 just can’t help myself 😩😩 don’t know why I keep doing this to myself! So 10DPO and still BFN so I definitely think this isn’t my month. Need to just keep trying!

Hey @fuddleskix! Im in the same boat as you! Did a test but was neg, have to wait til Sunday! I might do another tonight though! Cant help myself!!🙈

Fuddlestix · 03/10/2018 10:27

@MrsMcNtobe I don't know if there's any real way of knowing until missed period (bah). The luteal phase does nutty things to our bodies that might mimic pregnancy symptoms, I like hearing about how people knew in the 2 week wait though. You'll have to let us know your result when you test. I'm so excited for everyone!! GrinSmileGrin

MrsMcNtobe · 03/10/2018 09:09

@Fuddlestix no I haven’t done one yet, thought I had a Tesco early one lying about but I don’t, it’s probably for the best. Just need to try holding off buying any til the weekend! I want to think that I have some light cramping but I honestly don’t know if it’s in my head! Appetite has gone and I feel a tiny bit nauseous. How you feeling today?

Fuddlestix · 03/10/2018 08:57

@MrsMcNtobe did you end up doing a FRER? Im 7po, did a test yesterday because I nearly passed out with twinges, hot flushes, light headedness and excessive CM, never experienced anything like this before AF. Came up negative but I'm not due AF til Sunday/Monday it feels like an eternity waiting to see if my body is playing cruel tricks

MrsMcNtobe · 03/10/2018 07:41

@emma88P this is our 2nd month. What about you? I’ve only been up for a little while but no symptoms so far today xx

emma88P · 02/10/2018 23:07

@MrsMcNtobe Yes aparantly its very like a period cramp and can last an hour or a whole day anytime between 7-12 days post ovulation. After that the chemical that gives you a positive test doubles every 2 days! Hoping this is our month! Have you been trying long? Xxx

MrsMcNtobe · 02/10/2018 23:02

@emma88P I’ve had a couple of really really light twinges but tbh I know I’m only noticing them cos I’m TTC! Plus bloating, had a massive appetite then today no appetite. I’m assuming implantation cramp is gonna be like a real crampy feeling? Xx

emma88P · 02/10/2018 22:55

@MrsMcNtobe i had some bloating, but i really dont trust them signs anymore. Have you had any? I just want to feel a wee implantation cramp! Testing Sunday 🤞🤞🤞

MrsMcNtobe · 02/10/2018 22:49

@emma88P I’m 6dpo too! Was gonna test this weekend but I know I should wait. It’s killing me! Have you had any symptoms? Xx

emma88P · 02/10/2018 22:28

6 dpo! 7 days left until 1 can test!! The fustration of not knowing is killin me! On month 3 as well!! Sending baby dust to you all!!! Xxx

Marshmallow1992 · 02/10/2018 22:05
