8DPO anyone else?

Ahh ladies you're all so kind and made me feel better, thank you.
So I managed to get to the shop after the school run (I think I'm over the worst of the vaccine side effects) picked up some tests, got home, just about to take the test, and there was a bit of spotting so looks like AF is arriving.
Proud of myself though, I didn't POAS haha

@tulips87 oh no, hope you’re feeling better soon! My mum had an awful headache after hers but it passed after a day. Like @trackiesandasmokeyeye said, don’t worry too much - I think they’re just recommended pregnant woman to avoid it due to lack of research more than anything. But I know some countries are recommending they get it so try not to worry too much!

Is it worth trying a FRER today?

@tulips87 - even if you are pregnant hon I'd try not to worry about the vaccine, lots of pregnant healthcare workers and pregnant women in the US have had it, plus people who accidentally fell pregnant in the vaccine trial, and not recommending it is out of caution due to lack of data not an actual concern, from what I've read they seem to be fair positive that it doesn't cause issues, but are rightly taking a cautious approach in mass recommendation. Hope you're feeling better soon!

Oh no @tulips87 - hope the side effects pass soon!
My arm is very sore and feel a bit crappy but also could be AF about to arrive too! Paracetamol has deffo helped! My SIL hasn't even got a sore arm - amazing how differently we all react!!

@kitchenSink5 how are you today after your vaccine? I feel like I've been hit by a bus! Been in bed since 4pm yesterday.

So I had a negative test on 9dpo and 10dpo.
AF is due on Sunday and I usually have spotting for two to three days before hand, but nothing as yet, I'm now 12dpo.
Starting to worry a little bit and wondering if I should test today. I don't know what to do...? (I'm worrying because I had my vaccine and I was sure I wasn't pregnant) I also don't have any symptoms so maybe AF is just playing games with me this month.
Sorry brain dump!

How is everyone?

Congrats @bear1991!!!

@tulips87 - I thought I would be asked. So glad to get the vaccine though!

@tulips87 thank you, that’s so kind of you! Really hope it happens for you soon 🤞🏼

@trackiesandasmokeyeye glad I could be of service 😂 if it is your AF hope it hurries up so you can start a new cycle!

I think I am out for this month (AF due today, and I've got cramps and have been spotting since yesterday, which is a bit of a giveaway) but I'm ok with that, and your test experience is something I will keep in mind when I want to test early and get disappointed you a stark white BFN at 8 DPO in future 🙈🤣🤣

@bear1991 ohhh honestly I feel so sh!t and down today with all of this TTC not happening and seeing your message just totally put a massive smile on my face. I get so so happy when I see everyone's tests!! Keeping my 🤞🏼 it's a sticky one for you! X

@trackiesandasmokeyeye thank you! I was gobsmacked as there wasn’t even at hint of a line the day before!

Oh my gosh @bear1991 that's amazing news! Sending you lots of sticky vibes x

So I tested yesterday and had the faintest little squinter! Panic ordered some more FRERs which have just arrived - top one is yesterday at 10dpo and bottom is today 11dpo. Apprehensively excited and keeping everything crossed it’s a sticky bean 🤞🏼

@tulips87 and @kitchenSink5 hope you both don’t have too many side effects after your jabs! Sorry you’re both struggling ☹️ really hope you both get your BFPs soon x

@kitchenSink5 how are you feeling?
They didn't ask me if I was, did they ask you?
I'm sorry about your BFN.

I feel like everything is against me right now, thyroid levels playing up, weight gain because of it, now the vaccine which I doubt will have an effect, (im really glad I've had it)
I think I'm just feeling really down about TTC now after another month of BFN

Hi @tulips87 - I had my vaccine this morning too. Did they ask you about pregnancy? 12dpo and had bfn yesterday :( it's so bloody hard!

How is everyone doing?!
I'm 11dpo and I know AF will probably make a show soon, I have no symptoms at all. I tested and 9 and 10dpo and both were very negative!
I had my covid vaccine this morning so hoping it won't affect anything next cycle.
We tried SMEP this cycle and that hasn't worked so I think next cycle (#4) I'm going to take it easy, DTD every other day from around CD8 and not use OPK's either.

@tulips87 have to keep reminding myself this! I know me too, shone my torch and everything - feel like a crazy lady 😂 I also did an early CB this morning but ended up with an evap line which is just torture! I’m going to try really hard and not test again for a couple of days. Might get DH to hide the tests! 🤞🏼things will change for us both xx

@bear1991 we aren't out till AF shows though, we have to remember that. I don't think I've ever scrutinised anything like that before! Held it up to the light, shone my torch on it, everything. But nope. What are the chances things could change by tomorrow morning?!

Obvs I also caved 🤦🏻‍♀️ 9dpo also. Given myself line eyes but nothing there 😥

Well I caved Monday morning so you're doing better than me 😂 - I have cramps now and have had mildly for a few days so suspect AF will be on time.

I caved obviously. Afternoon urine, 9dpo and not even a squinted 🙁

@tulips87 mine are due to arrive before 2.30pm - not that I’m stalking the Amazon app or anything 😂 I bet I’ll crack when they arrive! That’s good news about your Covid jab but yes - I’d want to make sure too!

@bear1991 how are you doing today? Have your tests arrived? Mine are 6 stops away, not that I'm obsessed or anything!!
My covid jab has been brought forward from Monday to this Thursday now so I'm eager to know if I'm pregnant!

@FirstimeTTC ahh I'm so sorry! If it is AF I hope it hurries up so you can reset for the next cycle. But it could just be a little bit of spotting and nothing more 🤞🏼

@FirstimeTTC oh nooo! Any chance it could be implantation bleeding?
