8 DPO - why did I test?! :(

Hi ladies,

So I'm 8dpo today and couldn't wait any longer I POAS this morning and lo and behold it was a BFN! I used a ClearBlue early detect from the triple pack.

I'm honestly going crazy symptom spotting even though I KNOW I shouldn't and I KNOW that all the symptoms I have a common PMS symptoms!

I am chronically irritated
My boobs are SO SORE and feel huge, they've been sore constantly since ovulation and haven't let up (though I don't know if that's normal for me haha)
I've analysed every little twinge & every little cramp
And I am EXHAUSTED (but there are many reasons that could be)

Please someone jump on my crazy train!

Me too. 7dpo tested today for some silly reason, obviously negative! I'm just desperate to know. Sad it's so hard isn't it.

@AliceS88 honestly - same 😂

Yeah I used them this month but I’ve used the CB digital ones, I can’t work the normal ones out at all! They always look the same 😂 I had 8 days of the flashing smiley face on the CB digital (absolutely recommend them!) before the static finally came, but only dtd the night before the static smiley, reckon I ovulated on the 19th dtd 17th and a few days before that so fingers crossed but who knows.

Symptom spotting central over here haha.

@MumofOne93

I think I just like to POAS 😂

Yes tried opks this month, first time I've ever used them and meh, didn't know what I was doing but never got more than a faint line, now back to blank! Do you use them?

@AliceS88 Oh thank god! Someone else to be crazy with 😂

I’m going to order a load of cheap ones off Amazon, I don’t know why I know full well they’ll be negative but I don’t know why I can’t help it 😂 I’m sure it’s an addiction!

Do you use OPKs?

@MumofOne93

Haha I'll jump aboard!

I'm only 7dpo (I think?!) and have really been struggling with the want to test! Might just get a load of cheapies so I can go through the motions 😂
