Wasted my FRER at 9dpo

Just saw your post about your miscarriages OP - I'm so sorry for your losses. Sending you lots of positivity, baby dust and luck

Thank you OP! I tested about 3 days before I was due, so around 10 dpo (I wasn't tracking ovulation though so can't be sure)- I did a first response test that was supposed to let you know up to 6 days before your due date and it was negative so I thought no more of it. I'm now 35 weeks so it was a healthy, viable pregnancy too - I ovulated late as confirmed by my due dates by being due 6 days later than I thought.

Good luck everyone, I only conceived after 'giving up' tracking etc after getting fed up after 8 months of TTC and not dealing with the disappointment well. It's so hard but keep the faith! Good luck everyone x

@tulips87 oh wow, I'm so sorry for your losses - that sucks. I know it doesn't seem like a positive and it must have been really hard to go through, but one good sign is that you are getting pregnant. Have you been able to find a reason for the MMCs?

I can see how it would be extra frustrating to look out for the BFP now! Have you had the same symptoms every time you've got a BFP? Did you find out on 9DPO before?

This is my second cycle. I'm trying to hold out hope that I got pregnant before that it's not a no-go (my SO has a kid from a previous relationship so hopefully things good his end too). I am much older than before but only 28 so FX!

Don't worry. I've used loads this month. Haven't bothered since about 12dpo but thought I saw a shadow on an internet cheapie this morning and my period is a day late so tested again with a FRER. BFN. I'm definitely not pregnant. I just want it so much and at least it gives you some information. It's not really wasting them. It's telling you something that you can then process emotionally.

Fingers crossed for a good result for you.

I know how you feel, it’s so hard to not test when the stick is basically staring you in the face (through the bathroom door).

I wasted tests at 8, 9, 10, 12 and today at 13DPO. All BFNs and running low on sticks now! but feeling fatigue, out of breath from the stairs and getting stomach aches after meals. It’s so confusing

@tulips87 I know right? I'm 9DPO the same as you, got the negative test today. Have had loads of typical symptoms and kind of convinced myself that this month seemed like "it". Oh well.

I also got the start of a cold today so maybe that's why I feel off... also looked it up and that's an early pregnancy sign too! What a joke haha.

If it helps, I got pregnant by one accident with an ex-boyfriend about 8 years or so ago (decided not to have it unfortunately) and didn't have many symptoms leading up to it, I just remember I kept feeling that I had period pain but no period.

Sorry I just realised that's confusing 😂 we tried last year March/April/May. Then we bought a house so paused then began again in December/January/February.

It's so frustrating. I paused TTC for a few months but overall we have been trying for 11 months (but only 6 cycles). For the past two cycles when we restarted trying I've been so good in at least waiting til 12dpo. The first one I didn't test. Last month AF was two days late (although I think this was because I've managed to lengthen my LP by taking vitamin C). So I took one at 12dpo (day before AF) and when that was negative I knew that I was out.

I told myself this month I would wait til AF but then the last few days I've been so sick and sore boobs, I was convinced i must be pregnant. But no :(

Everywhere I look there seems to be pregnancy announcements and I'm really starting to struggle :(

I did exactly the same as you. Tested early, got a negative and thought oh well, another one bites the dust. A few days later, I was then late and took another test, thinking I was being indulgent and wasting another test - until I turned it over and there was a big fat line. Testing early doesn't benefit anyone as it can lure you into a false sense of thinking you're not pregnant and then going and drinking loads of wine (me ) when actually you are pregnant. Whoops. Either way, I'm sending lots of baby dust your way!

I just did the same at 10dpo. I have been feeling sick/heightened sense of smell and sore boobs these past two days. Now convinced I'm out 😢 TTC is such a cruel journey sometimes.

Ahh I feel you! I'm 10dpo and it's so hard to resist the urge to test.

When are you thinking of testing again? Happy to keep you company :)

Oh no! Don't worry - did the exact same thing. I told myself this month I wouldn't test until AF or unless I had some really "out there" symptoms. I, like you, have been feeling a bit off recently. Had some really bad nausea around 5/6DPO and sore nipples. But no - a BFN!

I have seen that lots of people get a BFN on 9DPO and go onto have BFPs, it's still pretty early of course. You're not out until AF shows!
