Anyone else 3dpo? When do you suggest the best time to test is? I have some frer’s and some ic’s and I honestly think I won’t be able to get through the weekend without testing 😫🤣

BFN again for me this morning and for some reason I was convinced when I woke up that I was pregnant (stupid symptom spotting) so I used a frer. Stark negative, what a waste and now I’m convinced I’ve failed this month 😂😂 never buying pregnancy tests this early again!!

@Emsjourney I had Covid jabs (had both now), 2nd one on the 7th April.

Fingers are tightly crossed for you. As a healthcare worker, I can honestly say, I don't/didn't have any concerns about it impacting on my fertility (I know that isn't especially reassuring from a random person on the internet though!)

I'm 7DPO. Planning to test on Monday/Tues when I'll be 11/12DPO if I can hold out until then. x

Emsjourney · 20/05/2021 22:53

Thanks ladies ☺️
So I'm 5dpo so a way off testing. Anyone testing soon?
I'd like to hold off until at least 10-12dpo x

feliznavidad2 · 20/05/2021 20:18

Sorry to hear you're both so tired @Bundaberg84 @extrababydust123 - I don't think the bloody dreary weather helps.

I've ordered some FRER... 🥴

Bundaberg84 · 20/05/2021 14:37

@extrababydust123 who knows! I just think it might be a bit early for that. But it's unusual. I'm always a bit tired, but not like that. I feel like I went out clubbing until 3am on a work day.

@Bundaberg84 I’ve been like that for a few days now and having to have naps in the afternoon to make it through the day 😂 god knows what I’ll be like when I’m actually pregnant!!

Hopefully it’s a good sign anyway you never know! Could be day of implantation 🤷🏽‍♀️🤞🏽

I'm so, so, soooo tired, I know it can't be any pregnancy symptom as I'm only 6dpo and am tired since at least two days. But it's crazy! I even had a Red Bull, I rarely drink anything like that, and it was like water to my body. Didn't care at all.

@Emsjourney don’t worry, I’m sure it won’t affect anything ❤️ the TWW is horrible and I can’t wait for it to be over whatever the outcome. Dreading a negative and this is only my 2nd cycle 😞 emotions are high today!

OP posts:
Bundaberg84 · 20/05/2021 14:11

There was at least one poster in this forum who had the jab and got pregnant in the same month, I'm sure all is going to be well!

Emsjourney · 20/05/2021 13:54

Has anyone had the Covid jab? Just had mine at 5dpo. Can't help but think how it may affect possible pregnancy this month 🤷🏻‍♀️ I'm sure it'll be fine but think I'm making excuses for not conceiving this month already. I mean we haven't caught the past 7 months. The tww is horrible 😭 also scared to see another BFN.

@feliznavidad2 don’t worry, we’re here to offload onto and no judging 🤣

I wish I could wait until 13dpo, I just feel so disheartened and like I’ve failed again this month even though I know it’s way too early. Just think I’d maybe be feeling something by now but who knows! Just going to trying and chill out today and wait until Saturday to test x

Thanks @extrababydust123 - I'm only telling you guys my inner mental brain workings as can't share it in real life. 😆 It may not be it but I don't feel my usual self.

My fingers are tightly crossed for us all. With DS1, I didn't test until 13dpo 😳 and didn't have any symptoms at all. I felt totally normal. x x

@feliznavidad2 eek that sounds so promising!! Fingers crossed! 🤞🏽🤞🏽 I still have back ache but apart from that feel fine.. feeling very not pregnant and BFN for me this morning 😅

OP posts:
feliznavidad2 · 20/05/2021 07:55

7DPO. And I've just been sick, and my peanut butter and banana on toast (which I usually love) tastes really odd.

Don't want to get my hopes up but if this isn't pregnancy, I'm gonna be going to the GP. 😬

@feliznavidad2 haha it is really hard! And even though I’m testing at 6dpo I’m still stood in different lights squinting expecting to see a line, the TWW really makes me lose the plot 😂

I’m definitely going to test Saturday morning at 9dpo, can’t promise I won’t test before then though 🥴

OP posts:
feliznavidad2 · 19/05/2021 20:32

I also did a test this eve @extrababydust123 - you're not alone in your silliness! BFN obviously...

It's hard isn't it? Especially when you want something so much but really have very little control over it.

Going to try and hold out for anymore POAS until Monday now. 😳 🥴

It gets to the point u just get fed up, thank you so much. Same for u x

extrababydust123 · 19/05/2021 18:33

@lovescaca I get that, I wish I had your will power. I can’t seem to think about anything else than testing but that negative really does hurt even when you know it’s too early. I have everything crossed that this is your cycle ❤️

OP posts:
lovescaca · 19/05/2021 18:32

I dnt think I'm going to test, my longest luteal phase is 16days so will wait till then (Monday) Just scared and feeling fed up about seeing another neg or af. X

And hi @lovescaca that sounds promising! When are you hoping to test? 🤞🏽

Hi @monkeyy97 sorry about your chemical 💐 I hope this month is your month 😂

@Bexboo1 you at so very right 😂😂 I just did a test about 10 minutes ago because I found a left over one step from last cycle and thought why not 🤷🏽‍♀️ Convinced I can see a very faint line but I’m only 6dpo so the odds are very slim 🤣 terrible back ache today though and felt some weird twinges in my left side a few hours ago, fingers crossed it’s implantation and not my imagination 🤞🏽

Bexboo1 · 19/05/2021 13:30

@extrababydust123 there's no way you will stop testing until Saturday 😂 obsessed like me! I've ordered some of them babyplan test strips from Amazon, £12 for 21 strips and they are 10mIU, those one steps didn't show positive for me last month until about 12dpo so I don't know how they claim to be sensitive! Said I wasn't going to test early but I just can't not 😬😬😬 xx

lovescaca · 19/05/2021 12:17

I'm 12dpo been cramping since just after ovulation. Been actively trying for about 6months but not been on anything since I had my wee boy 3yrs ago 🥺
