6dpo - wait with me?

@Regularsizedrudy 9dpo is still really early, you've got a great chance still. Only something like 50% of pregnant women will show as positive on a test at 9dpo, the rest still come up as negative. www.countdowntopregnancy.com/pregnancy-test/dpo-chart.php?dpo=9 this is a really good chart.

@dbaby725 you aren't out till AF shows, hopefully its a false negative.

I've not tested yet, but I'm starting to get cramps so I think I'm most likely out. Going to try and wait until Saturday to confirm with a test. I've actually got a job interview next week, so it wouldn't be too bad of a thing if I wasn't pregnant because otherwise a new job wouldn't be ideal regarding maternity pay.

[quote Sunshinedaisybuttermellow]@dbaby725 how are you? Any signs of AF yet? You're due today as well if I remember right?[/quote]
Yep I’m due today. No signs of AF but also got a BFN on a FRER so I’m not hopeful now.

What about you?

Gave in and tested 9dpo. Negative :(

@dbaby725 how are you? Any signs of AF yet? You're due today as well if I remember right?

Only officially since May, however we have been planning on trying since last August, been waiting on hearing how covid restrictions have been easing to decide to try. So although not that long actually trying, it's been forever in my mind haha.

My period is usually bang on day 27, with spotting day 25 and 26. I usually ovulate on day 13.
I think I'll wait until Saturday just in case I'm a bit late but I don't know if I'll manage it! Did an opk just because I had one in my bag and that was positive again 😬

@Sunshinedaisybuttermellow Fingers crossed for you! How long have you been trying?
I feel fine, nausea on Monday, sore boobs and stomach twinges for a week but that could just be PMS. I almost did a test this morning, but think I'll wait another week just to see
Are you usually on time? Will you test tomorrow if af doesn't arrive?

@HR92 how do you feel in yourself? Any tiredness, bloating, nausea? Have you got a date in mind at which point you'll do a test if AF hasn't come, or just going to wait and see how you feel?

I'm 13 dpo today, AF due tomorrow. No spotting yet. Did have some cramps yesterday evening so will see if it comes. I have noticed I feel horrifically nauseous this morning though.

@Sunshinedaisybuttermellow yeah haha it's so annoying!
Did have some cervical mucus around when I thought I was ovulating but did no tests ect. Have been trying to not obsess too much over everything, when I first came off the pill I wrote down every little change but it's so stressful. So after my period came back I accepted it could take a while to get pregnant and got used to thinking af would appear on time every month. Well that's gone out the window now app says I'm 7 days late haha

@HR92 I understand haha. I keep thinking I wish I would just start spotting /af come now if I'm not pregnant.
Have you had any signs of ovulation? Cervical mucus / position / opks / bbt?
I've only been tracking cervical mucus and position with the odd opk thrown in when I feel like it

I thought I knew... I'm using a period tracker app that shows ovulation days but it's based on last month's cycle of 25 days so no idea really! Have realised it's probably not the best way to keep track so yeah, guess I'll have to just take a test, I don't want to, would rather not know than be disappointed haha

@HR92 hi :). Do you know if you've ovulated? Generally your period will come around 2 weeks post ovulation, but the actual date can vary depending on when ovulation was. If you aren't sure it might be worth doing a test just to see.

Hey please can I join in!
Have been TTC since March, came off the pill after 10 years and had withdrawal bleed 7 weeks later, first cycle was 25 days now I'm on day 32.
Just wondering how long to wait to test? Guessing my periods are still messed up from coming off the pill so have no idea!

@incywincyspiders hopefully af doesn't show, fingers crossed for you. Not everyone will get a positive at 10dpo so don't assume you're out.

@dbaby725 evening tests aren't the best before a missed period as urine is less concentrated so I wouldn't worry too much about it being negative. Hopefully you get to Thursday and have a positive test.

I'm going to wait until the weekend now I think. Last month I started spotting at 11dpo, so I reckon I'll know if af is coming tomorrow because I'll start spotting with it being 12dpo.

I’ve tested again this evening and another BFN. I’m going to leave it until Thursday/Friday now when AF is due and if she doesn’t make an appearance then I’ll test again. It’s becoming almost obsessive so I need to take a step back now.

@Th197 massive congratulations! How exciting 🎉

Congratulations @Th197 fantastic news!

Congratulations @Th197 🙂

I'm 11dpo, due tomorrow and pretty sure I'm out as tested yesterday and there was no line and now I'm crampy 😞 8 consecutive months of TTC (+3 months last year, took a five month break due to buying a house) now and I'm just exhausted. It's never going to happen.

@Th197 congratulations 🎉 so happy for you!

Omg @Th197 congratulations!! Praying it all goes well for you!!

I think part of my issue is that we waited for almost a year from deciding we wanted to ttc to actually doing it. It was the most sensible decision for us due to finances and covid, but it just means I've been wanting to be pregnant for so long without even trying, now we are trying I'm just so desperate for it to happen.
I'm imagining when I'd have my 12w scan, when I'd be able to find out the sex, when I'd be starting maternity leave, when I'd be due, all of it. Every month I've got it all planned out in my heart, and I'm just so gutted when it doesn't happen.

Plus I've got 3 pregnant colleagues atm so it just makes it harder.

@littlejalapeno yeah it's been a real eye opener that it's not as easy as the films and TV shows make it out to be. I'm naively hopeful though.

@Regularsizedrudy the 10th is when mine is due too. I'm trying to hold off but I'm struggling to rationalise things to myself!

Joining! Period due on 10th, not testing until then. This week can’t go fast enough!

@Sunshinedaisybuttermellow thank you that makes sense about ovulation, here I was daydreaming about twins 😆 like I would be that lucky in one cycle though! @mummydoingamasters the head vs heart was the bit I never expected. I’m 90% sure I’ll be disappointed in 10 days but right now I’m so full of hope. Got my fingers crossed for both of you!
