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 😫🤣

@feliznavidad2 haha we are both as bad as each other! I did have a little cry after, I know in the grand scheme of TTC I am still very early on and lots of people have years of heartbreak before their little bundle of joy, but it’s so heartbreaking seeing negatives all the time. I know there’s still time for a bfp so I’m really trying to stay positive, but my calmness has definitely left the building 🤣

Could it just be implantation bleeding? From 4dpo is early but you never know! When will you be testing again? I have everything crossed for you 🤞🏽

@Bundaberg84 have a lovely holiday and do make some time for you in between working, even if you are at home. Be kind to yourself x

feliznavidad2 · 16/06/2021 20:54

@extrababydust123 how are you lovely? I'm sorry to hear about your BFN. Re. Testing, we're as bad as each other!

I'm feeling a bit down today; spotting still there but am concerned it's maybe meaning my progesterone is low or something. I spotted lots at the beginning of last AF but not starting from 4dpo like this month. 😬 I know I'm not out yet but just don't have a good feeling.

@feliznavidad2 we have all been there! At least you know it is scientifically too early! 😂

I tested stupidly at 5am this morning because I woke up dying for a wee 🤣 stark bfn and I used a frer so I’m annoyed 😞 Those negatives are like a stab to the heart!

@extrababydust123 thank you! I'm recovering fine, working from home a bit even though I don't have to, but I don't see how lying around with nothing to focus on for two weeks would help me recover mentally :)
We will take a break at least for a cycle. If AF arrives kinda on time next month, we might continue, but as we are in holidays with friends an family for three weeks, probably not.

feliznavidad2 · 15/06/2021 18:50

Thanks @Bundaberg84 - hope you're recovering ok lovely.

@extrababydust123 I'm a ninny, just tested as v v light spotting again - 6dpo (what even am I?), of course, it's negative. 

Not testing again until Sunday now, when I'll be 11dpo. Hmm

FinnsMammy · 15/06/2021 18:48

@extrababydust123 thank you! I’m ok now just started my miscarriage yesterday so on CD2 today and looking forward to trying again and for a strong and healthy pregnancy! Hope to see lots of Bfps soon xx

@feliznavidad2 while I am remaining calm I will definitely be testing tomorrow morning at 8dpo, I just can’t stop myself 😂 not much to report today apart from this awful headache that has returned today! How are you feeling?

OP posts:
feliznavidad2 · 15/06/2021 08:31

Hmm, I am trying to remain calmer for longer this cycle. @extrababydust123
Good work on the keeping chill lovely, we've got this. 👊

@feliznavidad2 probably over thinking but they were real at the time! 😂

And the spotting is a great sign! You could’ve ovulated really quickly after your peak and be around 6dpo rather than 5 and implanted 🤷🏽‍♀️ Fingers crossed!

feliznavidad2 · 14/06/2021 19:03

Oooh! That does sound intriguing @extrababydust123 and the back pain/headache combo. 🤔

I had a tiny bit of spotting last night but am only 5dpo so don't really know, not getting excited. Feel normal apart from that. God knows what all my weird reflux symptoms were last month. 😆

A strange probably not pregnancy symptom I had this morning was waking up with a chest ache, it’s like underneath my boobs and actually hurts! I’m kind of putting this here to look back on probably next cycle (hopefully not) when I’m still trying, but I’ve never had this before and isn’t necessarily my boobs hurting, it’s like behind them.. weird! I’ve developed back pain and an extreme headache during the day since then, hopefully means something 🤷🏽‍♀️🥺

@feliznavidad2 I’m 6dpo today! I haven’t tested yet which is amazing for me 🤣 and although I keep thinking in my head that every change in my body could be pregnancy, I keep bringing myself back to reality and saying it to myself that my body wouldn’t possibly know by now as implantation wouldn’t have happened. So I’m doing pretty well at keeping chill! I think I’ll test Wednesday at 8dpo and then probably every morning onwards 😂 when are you hoping to test? X

feliznavidad2 · 14/06/2021 07:34

5dpo @extrababydust123 how about you? Trying not to symptom spot...

@FinnsMammy @Bundaberg84 I am so sorry to hear this guys, I cannot imagine how heartbreaking and thank god you listened to your gut 😢 you are both super strong ladies and I can’t wait until we have our success stories 💗

@feliznavidad2 I’m glad your bug has passed, I’m sure it won’t affect anything 🥰 what dpo are you now? I’m 3 dpo today, and finally not ridiculously symptom spotting! Just taking a chilled approach and hoping for the best, it’ll happen when it’s meant to 😊

Bundaberg84 · 11/06/2021 22:50

You're do lovely thank you! All went well, I'm good and happy to have a room for myself and it's quiet, I will be able to rest I'm sure. Thank you again for thinking of me, I'm certain thinks like that have a positive effect!❤️

FinnsMammy · 11/06/2021 21:10

@Bundaberg84 sorry to hear that. I hope you we doing ok and recover well. Lucky you caught that early xx

feliznavidad2 · 11/06/2021 18:54

Oh @Bundaberg84 - I'm so sorry. Hope you manage to have surgery quickly and recover well. Here if you wanna chat anytime. x

Bundaberg84 · 11/06/2021 18:07

@FinnsMammy thank you! Unfortunately though I'm also on the other 50%. Currently in the hospital waiting for surgery as it's an ectopic and sitting in my right tube. At least they catched it before it ruptured. And yes, always trust your got instinct. If I waited until week 8 for my first check up it would have been dangerous.

FinnsMammy · 11/06/2021 14:50

Thanks @feliznavidad2 x
