4 Dpo and going mad

@sunnyside257 I can see it. Never used the rapid response before but at 9dpo I understand why you're dubious as they aren't as sensitive as the Early Result version from First Response. I'd pick up one of those instead and leave it a day before testing again to be sure. Good luck!

@Selena33 that sounds promising! Test again and keep us posted.

I tested again this morning (9dpo) and nothing. Last time I got my bfp at 11dpo but I think it would've shown by 9 or 10 if I'd tested earlier, so I'm not optimistic. I haven't had any symptoms either. Oh well! My body probably could do with a break given I've either been pregnant, miscarrying, or recovering since April.

Thanks! Anyone think it's possible this is a false positive? I've read reviews about this rapid response test and there have been afew reports of false positives!

Is there any other reliable brand that I could use to double check?

@sunnyside257 there is a line there !! Congrats OP. Test again

Without the light

Okay nevermind. I obviously went ahead and took a test anyways. Am I crazy or is there a line??

It's extremely faint and not really able to pick it up on a photo without a backlight. So excuse my mad photo

What do you ladies think?

Help! I have these tests. I'm 9dpo. Is it still too early to use one of these?

Welcome @Amyc94!

I'm 9dpo today and still having spotting (day 4 of spotting) - up until now, it's been more like pink/light brown CM but today it's darker brown and I'm having some mild cramping. Really feel like AF is just on its way early 😔. It's only my first month TTC so it's fine if it's a BFN this month but if the spotting is AF slowly arriving really early, it means my luteal phase has been too short. AF is due Weds 29th.

It's normal for my cycle to vary from 24-30 days and to spot for a few days before AF but I've never spotted on CD21 before. I'm driving myself mad with worry that something will be wrong and make this TTC journey difficult. Hoping I'm just overthinking.

I hope everyone is holding up ok!

Hi all and welcome new posters!

We are getting so close to the end of this tww, although not there yet!
@weathervane123 I too stupidly tested today again (9dpo) using a frer and I got a v v v faint line/shadow. Can’t tell if it’s an evap line or a v faint positive, I really have to squint to see it. Did a clear blue and was bfn. So confused argh and a bag of nerves. Note to myself: do not test early.

@Amyc94 Hi! Sorry I don’t have experience with that but I wish you best of luck 🤞🏼

Hope you all had a good day

@Amyc94 I also have an under active thyroid, as long as your levels are correct you shouldn't have any more difficulty conceiving to my knowledge. Obviously not successfully conceived myself other then when I had an early loss, but just basing that off people I know who also have one. Just once you fall pregnant you'll get growth scans and consultant appointments with an endocrinologist to keep an eye on your levels x

Hey everyone 🤍

Would you mind if I joined too?

We are on cycle 10 of trying and currently 9dpo.

I am trying not to test early this month and just see what happens but that's easier said than done and I may change my mind if I'm in the house alone and nothing to do 😂

I've been diagnosed with an underactive thyroid, endo and possible PCOS, does anyone else have experience TTC with these?

Huge congratulations to anyone that has got their BFP already this month 🎉

@MrsM29 Congratulations! Good luck to you!

I'm joining all the other early testers out there this cycle. 8 dpo today and bfn, of course! Used some Boots dip sticks, which aren't that sensitive at all (25 mIU) so it really was madness.

Last cycle I held off until 11dpo and it wasn't even that hard. This time, because I'm not convinced we dtd enough, I'm desperate to know! I also think that conceiving four times in a row is unlikely, which is making things worse. I really want to try and work out if I do have hyperfertility/an unfussy womb.

Can't say I've got any 'symptoms' atm. My sore nips (from ovulation) have now gone back to normal. I had a really vivid dream the other night, but that's about it. I'm not overly tired either. What I have had is some discomfort in the ovary that has the cyst. On the fence about whether to bother the doc with it. Sigh.

I think I’m just going to wait for AF which is next Wednesday as I’m not hopeful that this month has worked.

However, I’m off work on Monday, so I’ll probably end up doing a test then 😂.

Hi @sarahtom23 all well thanks. I already tested but obvs too early so will try to wait and repeat on Sat or Sun!

Ah that’s so useful to know @bestwisheskindregards I’m also trying too as in the past I had ‘symptoms’ and it was nothing more than pms xx

@MrsM29 Congratulations! That's great news! 💐 Wishing you all the best!

@sarahtom23 I think I might test Sunday (11dpo).

I watched a YouTube video this morning of a fertility expert who said there's no way any symptoms before implantation (6-12 dpo) can be pregnancy related as your body won't know it's pregnant yet. Any symptoms will just be due to an increase in progesterone, as with your normal cycle. I'm really trying to chill out with the symptom spotting now... 'trying' being the key word haha - easier said than done!

Awww yay @MrsM29!! How exciting. Wishing you all the best x

Congrats @MrsM29 such wonderful news. Please fingers crossed for the rest of us 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻

Congratulations @MrsM29!! To get a positive on a clear blue digital this early is such a good sign so 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻

I'm 3/4 DPO now and been getting twinges in my uterus quite a lot, been slightly painful to be honest! Other than that, nothing but so early!

Can't remember who asked but someone said about do the YouTube videos distract, they do a bit but they also spur you on to test earlier 😂😂😂 so not sure if that's really that helpful!

I think I'm around 11dpo so still very very early. I had some period like pains the past two days and my boobs are sore! Had a few little waves of nausea too x

Congratulations! 💐 So happy for you @MrsM29 xx

Oh congratulations!!! How many DPO do you think you are? Did you have many symptoms? Sorry for the million questions.

I tested!!

Keeping everything crossed that the little bean sticks! Sending all my positive thoughts and vibes to you all. Hope we see lots more BFP's this and next month! X

@MrsM29 that really sounds good!! Keep us updated!

@sunnyside257 I did too this morning at 7-8dpo and also bfn. Of course it may just be too early but I can’t help but feeling disheartened, I don’t think this is my lucky month
