10dpo - symptoms but bfn

136 replies

victoria5895 · 05/01/2021 21:27

Hi, I’m hoping to get some advice on symptoms. From around 5dpo to 9dpo (today)
I’ve had these symptoms:
Nausea (To the point of dry heaving)
Dizziness
Very sore boobs
Overly sensitive nipples
Fatigue (very intense today!)
EWCM at CD18 (day after predicted OV)
Creamy CM from CD21-24 (today)

I’m now convinced that I’m pregnant
My af is due on the 11th, I’ve been testing every morning since 7dpo with internet cheapies and not even the slightest line is appearing.

My OH and I haven’t been actively trying, but would be a lovely surprise - I was so disappointed at the bfn at 8dpo that I had to tell him, he has now started online research and is so excited. It’s so disappointing so I’m hoping you could share some stories of early bfn turning to bfp

BFN this morning for me as well. Af is due on Monday, I have a box on cheap internet tests so will probably test every morning. Although now I'm sure there's something wrong with them as they are all neg so far 😂

Completely negative FRER, not even a hint of a line. Wish I hadn't tested but I convinced myself it would be positive.

Ebhc · 07/01/2021 10:18

Sorry to hear about the BFNs. I have FRERs arriving today and I think I might be tempted to test straight away... Will update how it goes. Fingers crossed for you all.

Merry20 · 07/01/2021 09:42

@TryingForNumberOne I tested this morning with an IC and got a BFN too so I’m feeling much the same. Still, not out until AF arrives so fingers crossed for you. X

TryingForNumberOne · 07/01/2021 09:33

I've just taken a test and its BFN. I'm going to test again on the 11th if AF hasn't started by then. Really disappointed because I thought this might be our month, oh well I suppose we'll just have to keep trying. Baby dust to you all.

Merry20 · 07/01/2021 09:25

Good Morning ladies,

Hope you’re all feeling well this morning. When is everyone thinking of testing or are you waiting until AF is due?x

Camzarella · 06/01/2021 21:33

@victoria5895 lol aww bless. I bet your son will be thrilled to be a big brother!

Thank you for your kind wishes. Keep me posted on how things go! Xx

@Camzarella this will hopefully be our second 🤞🏻 our son is seven this year, we always had an excuse to start trying after xyz which is why we have such a huge gap 😂

Congratulations on your engagement! Hopefully you'll have your new little addition to join in wedding ❤️

Having some awful stomach cramps this evening, think af is on its way 🙄

I don't want to get my hopes up but my boobs have become really sore. It could just be AF on the way. Eek. How is everyone?

Camzarella · 06/01/2021 17:35

@TryingForNumberOne lots and lots of baby dust my lovely xxx

TryingForNumberOne · 06/01/2021 17:30

We've been trying for around 12 months, but not properly every month because my husband is away a lot with work which makes it difficult because we don't always hit the fertile period. My husband is tentativley excited but doesn't want to get ahead of himself before we actually get that positive test which I understand, besides he's a naturally reserved person anyway. I totally agree that it a rollercoaster of emotions, the longer this goes on the harder it is, like you @camzarella I never even considered at the start that it could take this long...
I really hope this will be our month ladies, fingers crossed for us all!

Ebhc · 06/01/2021 16:52

My partner asked if I feel pregnant but I said no. I won't say anything until I get a positive! I think I might test Friday morning. I'm scared to test early.

Ithinkhedidit · 06/01/2021 15:43

I'm also due on the 11th! Well. I think. Basically 11th-13th I'm guessing as my cycles are a bit weird after a miscarriage a couple of months ago and I decided not to use opks for a bit for a more relaxed approach. So naturally I'm symptom spotting and early testing like mad - ha! I had a bfn this morning but I'm not getting any symptoms of anything, pregnancy or PMS, so who knows!

Camzarella · 06/01/2021 15:34

@victoria5895 yeah it's a roller coaster of emotions. I didn't ever consider it could take long. This will be my first and we've been trying since September. We got engaged in August and have decided to wait til summer 2022 to get married so thought we may as well just start trying. I'm 31 on Friday and ideally would like 3 kids.

There's slight pressure as we can only try until April/May due to the wedding and wanting to have time to recover etc before big day.

How about you, how long have you been trying? Is this your first? Xx

@Camzarella it's so difficult isn't it, one minute I'm convinced I am the next I'm thinking there's no chance.

There's always next month though if we miss it this month I suppose. Have you been trying long? Will this be your first?

Camzarella · 06/01/2021 15:05

@victoria5895 my partner knows but doesn't want to get hopes up Sad. I'm not feeling hopeful anymore. Trying to be positive but struggling.

Good luck ladies xx

@2021please I'm sure I've done the same now, completely convinced myself that I must be pregnant as I'm having these symptoms. Hopefully we'll get our positives soon!

@TryingForNumberOne let us know how you get on!

Thanks again for the replies girls, I'm finding I'm much less frantic now that I can pour all my thoughts and symptom spotting into this thread.

Have you all told your partners yet? I wish I hadn't now, he's so excited. He's outside the bathroom door every morning waiting for me to tell him the good news.

Same boat, 10dpo today, had symptoms the past few days like increase in watery/creamy cm, back ache, nausea, no appetite, thirsty, frequent urination especially at night, tender stomach, trappped wind and cramps. AF is due on 11th for me. Every month without fail my only pms symptoms are sore boobs that start exactly 5 days before my period comes so all these other symptoms had me convinced im pregnant. Tested yesterday with a BFN and this morning with I think a BFN, I think im just convincing myself i can see a vvvvfl line but I dont wanna get my hopes up!

TryingForNumberOne · 06/01/2021 13:57

I haven't caved yet! I was sorely tempted this morning but didn't want to waste another test, I'm planning to test tomorrow with FMU.
My boobs are tingly too, although not so much today as they were yesterday evening, and I'm feeling a bit dizzy and nauseous.

victoria5895 · 06/01/2021 13:10

I can feel nausea creeping back in and my boobs are very prickly, if that makes sense 😂

I keep digging my tests out of the bin to see if they've changed 😂

How are you all feeling this afternoon? Anyone else caved and tested yet?

Amijustagrump · 06/01/2021 12:29

I think I'm currently 9 or 10! I'm not chill at all.. I just need to relax a bit

Merry20 · 06/01/2021 12:21

Hi @Amijustagrump how many DPO are you? Good idea not having tests around. I thought I would be so much more chilled about this all but it’s all I can think about and only on cycle 2 of TTC🙄

Amijustagrump · 06/01/2021 11:47

I'm waiting to test too! Really sore and veiny boobs, cramps, backache and insomnia right up until last night. I ordered some tests in the hope that the postal delay will slow me down from wanting to test. Fingers crossed for us all!

Merry20 · 06/01/2021 11:25

Hi all,

Have just found this thread and would love to join. Sounds like you have some promising symptoms.

I’m due on the 10th and have 0 symptoms so far, also tested this morning and BFN but was expecting that as countdown to pregnancy calculator said earliest a test would show for me is the 7th.

Fingers crossed we get our BFP’s soon!
