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 😫🤣

🙄 Spotting has stopped. It's enough to drive a girl mad. 12po. 🤔

lena21 · 25/05/2021 09:25

Hey ladies, Goodluck to those who r still testing,hope u get ur BFP soon!

A bit late start to my cycle due to chemical last month... think I am 3 dpo and only dtd twice so quite a slim chance... long wait ahead to find out 🤞

feliznavidad2 · 25/05/2021 08:10

@extrababydust123 hope AF arrives for you soon. 😖 🤞🏻

I think I'm out, have got a bit more red bloody discharge this morning. I can only think that it's a weird period as first month TTC and I came off the pill mid March so I guess it's my first proper period after my delayed withdrawal bleed...

My other 'symptoms' have gone, haha, except bloating which I think is just progesterone related.

extrababydust123 · 25/05/2021 08:04

@feliznavidad2 that does sound really strange I wonder what’s going on! Are you going to wait for AF or test again? It’s awful not knowing isn’t it! I just want AF to arrive now, I’m not doing anymore tests! X

@Bexboo1 I see something on them both! Congratulations 🥳 ❤️

@Bexboo1 I'm sure I can see something on the Clear Blue! Fingers crossed for tomorrow for you. x

Bexboo1 · 24/05/2021 19:02

These are my tests from today, I've been shopping to sainsburys and clear blue have now brought out an early detection digital that is sensitive to 10mIU, never seen them anywhere else £16 for 2 🤪! The end lights up and flashes apparently, so I have one of those for in the morning I'll let you all know what it says x

Good luck for holding out and hopefully a BFP @Emsjourney 🤞🏻

What a lovely dream. Hope it rings true @Bundaberg84 🤩 🤞🏻 and your restraint on testing has been admirable.

Sorry to hear about your BFN @extrababydust123 😔 it's so blimmin' disappointing isn't it? Even when you're sort of expecting it. Good idea thinking about the next cycle and your 'game plan' 😎 😆 I will be doing the same I think!

Still totally unsure what is going on here, still spotting but it's nothing like my normal period (thanks to the endometriosis, it's usually really heavy flow with big clots and I use tampons and pads at the same time some days but this is only brown discharge on wiping?! With the odd bit of pink/red staining.) I'm really crampy though.

Maybe it's just my body confused by first proper cycle off contraception (albeit my withdrawal bleed 44 days after the pill was pretty text book.) I have no idea. 🤷‍♀️

I did remember earlier though that I bled a lot when preggo with DS1, and had an early scan because of it as was worried that it was the end at 4-5 weeks - this may just be wishful thinking though. 🥴

Bundaberg84 · 24/05/2021 14:44

@extrababydust123 I'm like you then. Just wanna know if yes or no, and I can deal with that.
I know. And even though I knew it's not likely to get pregnant right away, I wasn't aware how draining it is. But I'm still positive. I just think a month to wait is a very long time.
@Emsjourney oh how weird you had the same dream then! Maybe your subconscious already knew!
@monkeyy97 that could be a good sign!🤞
@bexboo1 no, don't stress yourself like that! Every pregnancy is different! And there arw so many reasons why a line is darker or lighter. Different brand, different batch, you were more or less hydrated etc

Bexboo1 · 24/05/2021 14:31

@extrababydust123 I'm 10dpo so feel like it should be darker, I compared to my 10dpo from last month and it's soo much lighter. I will test again in the morning but it's bloody killing me 😩

extrababydust123 · 24/05/2021 14:08

Hey @Bexboo1! How many dpo are you now? I think it definitely matters if your pee is more diluted and could be lighter if so! Try again with fmu tomorrow, fingers crossed for you keep us updated 🤞🏽❤️

Bexboo1 · 24/05/2021 13:51

Hi girls, ordered some frer from Amazon that came today. Took one just but my urine was practically clear as I was very hydrated. Think I have a squinter but not sure as it's sooo light it could be an evap. Last month at 10dpo my line was darker than this (the line is similar to my first test last month at 8dpo). Can it be lighter if I have had lots to drink? Didn't think it mattered with frer as they are so sensitive. Worried that if it is positive it will be another chemical as it's soo light 😔 x

monkeyy97 · 24/05/2021 13:41

7DPO today...
got lower cramps and lower back pain this morning as if AF is arriving... however not due for 7 days yet.
Fingers crossed AF stays away 😢

Emsjourney · 24/05/2021 13:34

@Bundaberg84 yep 🤞 trying to hold out not to test for another couple of days of so.

Oh and that's so weird about the dream! I had that last time with my daughter! Woke up did a test and was positive! I also had implantation spotting 2/3 days before af was due then tested when af was due after that dream ❤️ was much more laid back then!

extrababydust123 · 24/05/2021 13:14

@Bundaberg84 I get that! For me I feel like I’d rather just know, whether that be negative or not as I’d rather that than convince myself I’m pregnant for 2 weeks and then get a bfn or AF 😔

It’s crazy how excited I was to start ttc in my first cycle, and now I just feel drained and down about it all. Who’d have thought getting pregnant would be so hard!?

OP posts:
Bundaberg84 · 24/05/2021 12:46

@extrababydust123 thank you hun! It takes a lot to not test, as I have a lot of cheapies lying around, but I couldn't handle a 'kinda potentially positive', I know it! It would drive me insane 😂

extrababydust123 · 24/05/2021 12:44

@Bundaberg84 thanks lovely. A lot of people say they dreamt about testing positive before they did! You are so strong for holding out and not testing especially after that. Have everything crossed for you ❤️

OP posts:
Bundaberg84 · 24/05/2021 12:17

@feliznavidad2 oh no that sucks!! I hope it's implantation bleeding, it's toi early for AF right??
@extrababydust123 also to you, you're not out yet! My friend only had a positive 3 days after AF was due.
@Emsjourney I know, some will get a positive by then, but most don't. You can have implantation as late as 12dpo, don't let that BFN tear you down!
I still didn't test yet, even though I dreamt of testing positive tonight. Had the exact same dream last time and it turned out to be positive. I don't really have any symptoms, just dull cramps, but maybe I'm just nervous. Oh and not hungry at all, that's not normal for me.
Only a couple more days you lovelies and we know more! Stay positive ❤️🤞

Emsjourney · 24/05/2021 11:53

Thank you @extrababydust123 ❤️

extrababydust123 · 24/05/2021 11:45

@Emsjourney that’s still very early so don’t be too disheartened ❤️ Fingers crossed for you x

OP posts:
Emsjourney · 24/05/2021 11:18

Hey, I tested today at 9dpo on a frer and bfn. I know it's early but you see women get positives so early. Trying not to get disheartened.
Want to try and hold out now and test Wednesday x

extrababydust123 · 24/05/2021 11:09

@feliznavidad2 another BFN for me this morning too, definitely out now just waiting for AF which is due later this week!

Sorry to hear about your BFN, but there is still time and you’re not out until AF arrives! I’m preparing for next cycle now. Definitely going to give the SMEP a go I think, as dtd every other day clearly isn’t working for me 😂 this time I will be prepared for ovulation as well as it actually came a whole week before expected so didn’t dtd as much as we could have. Good luck to anyone else testing this week ❤️

OP posts:
feliznavidad2 · 24/05/2021 06:03

I'm ok thanks @extrababydust123 - how are you? Up early (again) with a very snotty DS1. Poor lamb.

So tested this am and unsurprisingly it was a BFN. I'm very crampy albeit the spotting has virtually stopped. I think it there was going to be a positive test, it would have happened now.

I'll probably test again later in the week just incase but am pretty much waiting for AF now. And feel the most relaxed I have about it for days.

Good luck to you and @Bundaberg84 🤞🏻 🤞🏻 🤞🏻

extrababydust123 · 23/05/2021 21:43

@feliznavidad2 I’ve been so busy today I haven’t had chance to check MN. How are you now? Is AF still in full swing or could it possibly have been implantation? Fingers crossed next cycle is for you if so and I hope you’re okay!🤞🏽

I didn’t test today which I’m very proud of myself for but I really don’t feel at all pregnant. I’ll test tomorrow morning and if it’s negative I’m 100% out and will just wait for AF. Really don’t know what we’re doing wrong, all I want to see is a positive test 😔

OP posts:
feliznavidad2 · 23/05/2021 06:45

I think I'm out 😔 my spotting is now heavier and more red, still only on wiping but looks like the beginnings of AF.

Will keep you all updated. Can't feel too despondent as was only our first month trying. Wishing you all lots of luck in the coming days. 🤞🏻 🤞🏻 🤞🏻
