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 😫🤣

Enjoy @Bundaberg84 - it's blimmin' freezing here.

I'm eating a mint Magnum catching up on The Pact. 📺 Rock and roll.

Still spotting, just when I wipe... The mucus went quite red earlier after I (sorry, TMI as always) strained on the loo but it's brown again now and only a small amount. I'm not going to test again until Monday when I'll be 11dpo.

Feeing nothing is definitely a good thing! Last time I honestly felt fine except for a tiny bit 'woozy' when standing like two weeks post ovulation, no sore boobs, no nausea, no cramps, nada. Fingers are tightly crossed for you both @Bundaberg84

@extrababydust123 I feel you! Having a BBQ tonight and drinking a beee/lemonade mix which only contains a little alcohol.
I think I test Tuesday.

@feliznavidad2 enjoy your weekend! Fingers still crossed very tightly for you ❤️

@Bundaberg84 are you testing Monday? Those symptoms all sound very promising, it’s hard to differentiate but I think feeling anything is a good thing I currently feel nothing 😂 I’m going to have a little drink this evening either. No point putting life on hold when I’m certain I’ve failed again this month anyway!

@feliznavidad2 you know the stats. 9dpo is very early, a negative doesn't mean much at this point. Maybe try to not test again this weekend?
@extrababydust123 yesterday I freaked a bit because I had a bad headache and googled way too much about what I can take against it. It's definitely a weather related headache plus I didn't drink enough the previous day. There are way too many fearmongering blogs out there. Took a paracetamol and had a glass of Prosecco and a glass of red wine later that evening. And I'm feeling good.
No symptoms I think. Bloated and a bit if a weird stomach, and craaaazy tired. And a bit moody. But that could mean everything or nothing right :)

feliznavidad2 · 22/05/2021 11:48

@extrababydust123 still very refluxy/vommy. Quiet weekend here. Planning to try and relax with nice food and good TV. 🤓

@Bundaberg84 I definitely won’t be testing again now. I think I’ll just wait until af because I feel very out anyway and don’t want to waste anymore tests otherwise ttc is going to cost me a fortune 😂 how are you getting on? Any symptoms?

And thank you @feliznavidad2, I have some work to do this morning and going out for some food this afternoon so that should distract me a little 😊 I know you weren’t feeling 100%, how are you feeling now? X

@Bundaberg84 9dpo here. Good luck for you when you test - your approach sounds sensible and much less anxiety provoking.

Hope you're ok @extrababydust123 - have you got any nice things to do today to distract you a bit? x

Bundaberg84 · 22/05/2021 11:17

@extrababydust123 sorry I haven't seen your last post, appeared on a new site. Sorry for the negative test, but you're still early! Don't let it stress you out so much. I totally understand you, that's why I protect myself and don't test until as late as possible. I want to have a clear answer I can work with.

Bundaberg84 · 22/05/2021 11:15

@feliznavidad2 how many dpos are you today? Implantation can happen until 12dpo, sometimes even a little bit later.
@extrababydust123 how are you today?

Sorry to hear about your bfn @feliznavidad2, they are so disheartening 😔 hopefully it’s just too early for both of us as I’ve tested with a CB early this morning and it’s negative as well, not even a hint of a line eye 🤣

Feel very out this cycle and just feel really rubbish, if I don’t fall next month I think I might need a break, this ttc stuff affects me more than I ever thought it would 😔

3dpo, 1st cycle. TWW with me?

Already awake (and had breakfast) with 4 year old. 😴

9dpo here and another BFN on a FRER. 🙄

Although think I'm spotting (hoping it's not my period early and it's possibly implantation, not sure if it's a bit late for that though?) Had pink CM last night and this morning it's just light brown discharge on wiping. 🤷‍♀️

Ordered some clear blue early tests as saw a few people who have said FRER aren't so good at the moment. Going to try and wait atleast until tomorrow to test again.

feliznavidad2 · 21/05/2021 18:55

Haha @Bundaberg84 , not just Bundaberg!

feliznavidad2 · 21/05/2021 18:54

@extrababydust123 tested - BFN! I'll probably test again over the weekend.

Hope you're ok, you're definitely not out - if we were sensible normal people, we wouldn't have even thought of testing yet, let alone done it.

As @bundaberg showed us before www.countdowntopregnancy.com/pregnancy-test/dpo-chart.php?dpo=9 it's still more likely you'd get a negative at 9dpo than positive EVEN if it was positive. x

@Bexboo1 yeah I’ve seen bad things about frer’s recently and I don’t have any left now so I will try tomorrow with a clear blue early detection and surely at 9dpo it should show something if I am? I feel completely normal though so who knows 😔

Good luck @feliznavidad2! Keep us updated! Sorry you aren’t feeling very good but hopefully that’s a good sign! Have everything crossed for you that’s it’s a bfp ❤️

feliznavidad2 · 21/05/2021 14:29

@Bexboo1 8dpo here. 😬

Bexboo1 · 21/05/2021 13:43

@feliznavidad2 it's fine I'm ok now. Said I was going to miss this month but decided last minute to try. Only dtd twice so I'm not holding my breath though. How many dpo are you x

feliznavidad2 · 21/05/2021 13:25

Oh sorry @Bexboo1 🤦‍♀️ how insensitive of me. How are you feeling for this month? Good luck for tomorrow! 🤞🏻

Bexboo1 · 21/05/2021 13:21

@feliznavidad2 it was last month with my chemical. Hoping I get the same tomorrow when I am 8dpo again!

feliznavidad2 · 21/05/2021 13:01

Exciting @Bexboo1 (!!)

I'm ok thanks @extrababydust123 but still feel not myself. May well do FRER tomorrow, constant reflux/vommy feeling. 🤢

How about you? X

Bexboo1 · 21/05/2021 12:25

@extrababydust123 I got a positive at 9dpo with a clear blue early and it was soo much clearer than the frer!

Good words @Bundaberg84 x

Bundaberg84 · 21/05/2021 09:03

@extrababydust123 I told you I will try my best and be the reasonable voice. I'm holding myself together for now, I probably start spiraling on Tuesday or so, when I'm 11dpo :)

@Bundaberg84 thank you that’s what I needed to hear this morning, you’re very kind ❤️ I am going to test tomorrow morning with a CB early detection as will be 9dpo and if it’s negative I’ll leave it until AF because those negatives hurt 😂

Bundaberg84 · 21/05/2021 08:41

@extrababydust123 you're what, 8dpo today? Chill, my friend :) Shall I check for you? There you go:
81.9% of pregnant women got a false negative result on 8 days past ovulation.
Only 18.1% of pregnant women got a positive result. This is about 1 in 5.5.
You're still very much in the game :)
