9DPO and fighting the urge to test

9DPO and AF due 2nd March. Fighting the strong urges to symptom spot and test. Wasted money last month with early BFNs so I am determined to wait until AF is due but the days are so long...who’s with me?

Hello all sorry to jump in, I'm in 2ww 10 dpo

Congratulations to everyone who has gotten BFP

Please could someone take a look at my test this morning, my first test this cycle, am sure I can see line and partner said he can see a line, but am unsure wether it's because I want to see a line. I tried to colour invert it but I can't figure out how on phone.

Can anyone see a line? Idm if it's a no! I just want to put mine at ease

Have uploaded a couple

Thank you

Hopefulhedgehog · 01/03/2021 09:45

Definitely a line there @glow92 and I can usually never see a squinters when people post them! Do an FRER first thing tomorrow and hopefully you’ll have a good line to announce to your partner with! You’ll never sleep tonight!! X

@Sunny1986 that makes me feel better! Just still SO early, I'll drop a picture below - it is faint!

then possibly* a FRER

glow92 · 01/03/2021 09:33

I feel awful just jumping on here without telling him first but I'll drive myself insane otherwise! I'll do another cheapie this evening the possible a FRER tomorrow morning. This is crazy!

Sunny1986 · 01/03/2021 09:32

Fantastic news @glow92 !!! I didn't tell my husband for 3 days, then did a FRER with him knowing it would be positive. 2 days of faint lines let it sink in for me a bit without the added excitement/stress from him! but still freaking out!

BrodieKD · 01/03/2021 09:25

@glow92 ohhhh that's so exciting 🤞🤞 I'd maybe hold off a day or 2 and test again. I'm so impatient though I'd probably wait an hour and test 😂

glow92 · 01/03/2021 09:21

Guys I'm freaking out!
After cramping Saturday night and yesterday I mentally prepared myself to test this morn at 9 (potentially 10) DPO and got a v faint line!!
I don't know what to do, haven't told my partner he's so reserved and chilled out I don't think he'll believe anything other than a solid line... do I wait a few days??

Sunny1986 · 01/03/2021 08:44

Definitely not sunk in yet @Hopefulhedgehog !! We both keep just saying "whaaaaat?!" "Omg" "it can't be!" Etc. I've been taking cheaper tests each morning and think I'll do my digital clear blue on Weds when AF will be a few days late.

Keep us posted @glow92 and everyone 🤞

Hopefulhedgehog · 01/03/2021 08:40

@Gigi1109 so nice for you to have the weekend just to soak it up!

I’m not testing today - too disappointing getting the BFN yesterday. Would rather just wait for AF to arrive! AF due tomorrow (15dpo) so if no sign of her then I’ll test Wednesday morning. Temp still high this morning but this is my first month temping so I’m not sure when I should expect to see a drop.

Gigi1109 · 01/03/2021 08:01

Hey @Hopefulhedgehog as you can imagine this weekend has been a crazy one! We keep looking at each other like is this a dream? We can’t believe it 😂 are you taking a test today? When I got my positive the IC barely showed anything up after the FRER! Did a CB on Saturday though I just want to get this week out of the way!

Herehoping93 · 01/03/2021 07:47

@Hopefulhedgehog I'm 12dpo today but it also says in due AF today have no test at home to try some IC coming today but I'm at work till this afternoon and proberly will get AF while at work (in a nursery) and Benin terrible pain so preparing myself at the moment. Will update later on :)

Hopefulhedgehog · 01/03/2021 07:31

@Sunny1986 @Gigi1109 how’s it going ladies, has the news sunk in yet?

Hope AF stays away @glow92 - my temp is still high this morning 14DPO but got a feeling AF on her way.

I’m useless with those little ICs @Herehoping93 I can never see a line. Let us know if you test again, what DPO are you?

xx

@Hopefulhedgehog @Herehoping93 sorry about the tests. Fingers crossed for some good news soon!

I had a little cramping on Friday and my boobs are still a bit sore. My h2b is off work on Friday so going to try to hold off until then to test x

glow92 · 28/02/2021 08:35

I had some cramps last night and got so anxious that AF was showing up early again after a pathetic 8 day luteal phase last month, thankfully there's nothing there this morning but I'm just on edge now. 8DPO but looking back I could actually be 9. Had a slight temperature drop yesterday and today which could be: AF on the way, implantation or nothing and I need to sort myself out! 🤯

I'm sorry about the tests @Herehoping93 @Hopefulhedgehog see what the next day or 2 brings and if it's onto the next let's do the best we can 💪🏼💜.

Herehoping93 · 28/02/2021 07:59

Good morning @Hopefulhedgehog yes couldn't help it up first thing all could think about all night I've ordered some IC for my AF due date tomorrow the 10miu ones the test this morning (poundshop multipack) was negative thought saw a shadow but think I'm trying to make it appear lol got yesterday's and today's mixed up now so dono which is even the new one so prob nothing there x

Hopefulhedgehog · 28/02/2021 07:38

Morning girls, I caved and tested with a CB digital this morning...BFN. Was feeling really hopeful so a bit gutted now. Some v light bleeding now so I think AF on her way....onwards and upwards to month 3!

Have you tested again @Herehoping93? X

Sunny1986 · 27/02/2021 12:28

@Gigi1109 I also tested with my husband this morning, i hadn't mentioned that I'd had a couple of faint positives already - he was so surprised!😂 12 dpo today, used those FRERs!

Herehoping93 · 27/02/2021 08:36

Thanks girls. I had quite a lot of cramping yesterday has eased off this morning but just had the most random, sharp pain right down bottom of back going down shocked me a bit.
Yes think will give it a break maybe rest of weekend x

glow92 · 27/02/2021 08:23

I'm sorry @Herehoping93 it's a rubbish feeling isn't it, you're definitely still in though, implantation can happen anytime from 6-12DPO so it may still be too early.

glow92 · 27/02/2021 08:20

@Sunny1986 I really hope it works! I'll continue to use it in the fertile window if we're unsuccessful this time as surely it must help as I've noticed I don't get a large amount of CM. I'm taking a few supplements but may switch to a proper pre-natal if I'm still trying once they run out.

@Gigi1109 there more I think about it, I think I'm going to wait till Wed which will be 11dpo (if I make it that far after short LP last month). Mostly because Tuesdays I don't work from home and always in such a sh*tty mood at work as it's not good at the moment... don't want any added disappointment! Those tests are looking strong! I haven't thought about how to tell my partner yet when it (hopefully) comes to it.

Hopefulhedgehog · 27/02/2021 08:09

Still early days @Herehoping93 don’t give up yet. Try and have a day off tomorrow then test again on Monday...fingers crossed for you.
