Anyone else 7DPO and hating the waiting part?

Thank you @HerringGull. The more time that's passing, the more scared I am to test!

@Cafeaulait27 it does all sound promising for you BUT are there some things you can plan for Friday night that you really love and can look forward to regardless of the test result in the morning? A particular meal, film, activity, person to talk to? Just to take the bite off if its not what you want to see. I'm getting out my fave wine (haven't had any since NYE which for me is a loooooong time) and fave meal for Saturday and if AF arrives, i can get some joy from the food and drink. We're all here for you though, hoping for your BFP but if you do feel down on Friday come and vent here! Good luck x

I took a cheapie today at 8DPO - BFN. I know it's still early but I have zero symptoms and my heart rate is dropping every day which makes me think its not my month this time around. Feel OK about it (as only first month!) but I guess there's still some hope as implantation doesnt even happen til day 9 on average!

I feel so hopeful that I’m pregnant, but it’s impossible to know at this stage isn’t it?

I’m so worried it’ll be negative when I test on Friday and I’ll be so upset 😔

@Meg87 eeeek it’s so close for you! Are your periods usually bang on time?

I’ve also been burpy, gurgly tummy and gassy (nice) haha

🤞 for you @peach1234! Let us know how it goes 😀

I'm feeling pretty exhausted and tummy feels dodgy, and I keep burping hah (sorry!). Not sure if it's AF coming (due on Wed), if I'm pregnant or if I've eaten something that doesn't agree with me! Want to know but I've also told myself I'm not testing til Thursday so really going to try to hold out 😣

Good luck for testing tomorrow @peach1234

I’m exhausted today, feel like I’m dropping to sleep on the sofa despite sleeping well last night. I really think I might be pregnant! I think I implanted on Saturday as I felt some twinges but I really don’t know.

Probably tomorrow I’ll be convinced I’m not!

@hungrycaterpillar12 thank you ☺️ All grand so far.
I agree it's great to track cycles for a bit even if you're not really trying. So useful to know more about your body.

@peach1234 definitely do FMU again tomorrow. I think it's so frustrating at this early stage if you get a squinter and you don't know what's happening properly. Lots of luck for tomorrow morning!

@Crazydoglady123 welcome! 5 eggs! Good luck this cycle, hopefully this one will be your lucky one xx

Hey, jumping on as I'm itching to test but scared at the same time 😅 I did a test Friday and BFN but I don't track my ovulation. I'm on Clomid and because of pain I had a scan last Wednesday which showed I had 5 ruptured haemorraghic cysts. Apparently the nurse said to me that means I probably released 5 eggs on this cycle 😬 Not overly holding hopes out as we've been TTC 24 months now. Af due anytime from Wednesday so going to test then if no sign

@HerringGull congrats!! how is it going?

Good luck @peach1234, I think that’s quite common with FMU. That’s why it’s recommended.

I have been having cramps yesterday (particularly last night), mild really but exactly like AF cramps so expecting it any day now. Have been appeasing my manic side by testing with IC since 10 depo, all negative, but will use a FRER tomorrow.

It’s funny how much you learn about yourself each cycle. I am not actively TTC (also not actively not TTC) but like to accurately record my cycle as plan to in the future and want to know all I can now. I am a bad culprit for not writing anything down then the next month I question if I have ever had so and so symptom before..

@aubyone yes definitely keep eachother updated please!! Luckily DH is away so he's not here to see the crazy testing 😂
I definitely ovulated on CD17 too! Hoping AF doesn't show around the 5th 🙈 x

This is cb this eve

Thank you everyone. I'm thinking maybe because I was testing in eve rather than fmu so will try again tomorrow! Just so strange the early ones haven't picked up but a normal one did this morning? Xx

@peach1234 it's such a confusing time isn't it. I can see a faint line on your earlier post. Maybe try a Frer again tomorrow morning? How many DPO are you? Sending hugs x

@cafeaulait27 sorry to hear about your mc. It's so strange how a tiny stick we pee on gives us so much hope! I am planning on testing with IC for a few days. AF due Friday if I have any joy with IC I have an early detection digital to use if AF is late.
Wise asking DH to hide the tests 😂 I don't have that luxury my DH works away and isn't back until Friday so the crazy testing is keeping me going. On the other hand I am also prepared for a BFN or AF to arrive, either way we just dust off and start again

Ahh @peach1234 that is so frustrating for you, I'm sorry. I don't know if this is helpful or making it worse, but just went back and checked your picture, and I really can see a line. It absolutely could still be too early for the CB ones. Remind us what DPO? I would definitely hold on to hope and test again tomorrow. Let us know xxxx

@peach1234 hmmm. I hope it’s just to early for you still. When is your period due again? (Sorry I’m finding it so hard to keep up!)

@Lulukate1
planning to wait until Friday! I’ve actually just asked my husband to hide the tests haha. It’s mainly because I tested really early last time due to what I thought was implantation bleeding, I got a faint positive but a few days later the bleeding got heavy and it ended up being a v early mc which broke my heart 💔 and equally I don’t want to test too soon and be disappointed, the tests I have in are not early response so there’s really no point. When are you planning to test?

I’m literally going mad waiting 🙄

Negative on clear blue early and digital tonight, hoping it's just too early... the one I used this morning was a first response rapid response so not even and early one and I got a bfn last night on frer so confused now 😩

@Blossom37 - I can't quite make out anything yet on your photo, but don't let that mean anything - I feel like it's probably clearer IRL - I'd definitely be testing again tomorrow though if AF isn't here! Really hope she stays away!

@Lulukate1 - think I'm due AF on Saturday 6th - but tbh this is based on only one full cycle since coming off pill so I'm not entirely sure. I definitely ovulated CD17 (OPKs and temping because I am obsessed) and last month had 12days b/w ovulation and AF. Yaaas tets buddies - keep me updated! I had a blinding negative this morn but keeping that as a 'control' to see if anything appears in comparison to it - DH think's I've gone mad!

@aubyone same as me! When is AF due? I've got my cheapies arriving today and will be testing daily too so we could be test buds(loons) and post updates to this thread

Hi ladies, I'm gonna join if that's alright as I'm also 7DPO and started testing today like a loon

cautious congrats to the ladies above with possible BFPs - do let us know if you get something you feel certain of! And good luck

I'll be testing now on cheapies each morning and see what happens - not feeling super hopeful but I'm overly excited as (like a couple of you I think) first month TTC xxx

@HerringGull so true! I've been excited and nervous since Ov day, trying not to obsess but who am I kidding really haha

@cafeaulait27 when are you planning to test? Day of AF due or after? Or before😂

@blossom37 I'm glad I'm not alone and there seems to be many as crazy at testing early! Glad I found this thread. Hopefully you will BFP soon! What brand of test did you use this morning. Im stepping away from CB I've got some IC coming today for early testing and I've got a digital for if I get any BFP around AF due day! (Brain is in testing over drive!)

Staying positive though
Baby dust to all

@Blossom37 I think there may be a very very faint line there! Not absolutely sure though. Test again tomorrow and show us all!

Hiya @Lulukate1. It's the most exciting/terrifying/frustrating part of the cycle isn't it! Good luck to you this month :)
