8 DOP - the waiting!

Hey. I'm not sure of the point of this thread really but I suppose I just need to talk. I'm bang in the middle of the two week wait and I'm driving myself crazy! I don't know if I'm seeing symptoms that are all in my head, honestly this waiting is making me obsessed. Tell me I'm not alone! I can't really talk to anyone as no one knows we're trying, and my partner is the most laid back and patient person I know (total opposite of me!)
How are you guys in limbo doing?

@ERachD fingers crossed for you. 11dpo for me and BFN, giving up hope as have no symptoms at all.

13dpo today and I can see the faintest of faint lines on the pink FR test! Even my phone camera won't pick it up so I'll test again tomorrow. Wish me luck!! How are you all getting on?

That’s exactly how I felt, was convinced AF was going to show up any day - uterus felt ‘full’ and ‘swollen’ - still feel like that now!! then got the faintest line at 13DPO, barely visible.

Attached is this morning, 15DPO - don’t give up hope! Your not out until AF shows, have everything crossed for you! Xx

@20viona congratulations that's a great line!!

@ERachD you're not out till AF shows x

Carinae20 · 14/01/2022 07:23

@20viona congratulations!

@ERachD fingers crossed it’s positive tomorrow as you said it’s still early x

20viona · 14/01/2022 06:49

@FlyOnTheWall89 I had a miscarriage last month and I had all the same symptoms in the run up to that pregnancy too. Feel like I'm quite in tune with my body at the moment.

20viona · 14/01/2022 06:49

@ERachD thanks. I got complete negative yesterday on the cheapie yesterday remember so don't give up yet :)

FlyOnTheWall89 · 14/01/2022 06:48

@20viona congratulations! Sounds like it isn't much of a surprise. Hope it is a sticky one and all goes okay in the coming weeks. X

@Bexxe that's so exciting! I've got everything crossed for an even stronger line tomorrow but there's without a doubt one there today

@Carinae20 as far as I'm aware that's all very typical with early pregnancy. So long as the spotting is dark red or brown and only slight, not a heavy 'Fresh red blood' flow then it's all totally normal!

OP posts:
Carinae20 · 13/01/2022 08:11

I am 7dpo and last night and this morning I’ve had some light spotting!? Any ideas?

Carinae20 · 13/01/2022 08:09

How exciting Bexxe!! There is definitely something there!

Bexxe · 13/01/2022 08:00

Yes very light but certainly pink!
Have FRER’s on their way today so will take one tomorrow FMU.

for reference ladies I think I am 14DPO and only just getting the faintest lines so don’t count yourself out!! Xxx

@Bexxe I definitely see it! Is it pink in colour? How exciting x

OP posts:
YEN1 · 13/01/2022 07:21

I can see it! I’m 9dpo and BFN for me this morning Sad

20viona · 13/01/2022 07:19

@Bexxe I see it! I'd get a first response to check!

I just did a cheapie and it's stark negative I wish I'd not done It! I'm only 10/11 DPO though!

Coastaldreamer · 13/01/2022 07:19

@Bexxe I see the faintest of lines!

Bexxe · 13/01/2022 07:13

Tell me I’m not going mad?!

Bexxe · 13/01/2022 07:09

I’m not sure if I have line eyes but I feel like I can kind of see something too?!

@Moonshine160 oh you are definitely on the right thread! I did exactly the same. I was desperately telling myself I could see something on every test. I've just tested this morning and another BFN. I told myself it wouldn't bother me because it's only 11dpo but losing faith when you see how many ladies show at least a faint positive at that stage

OP posts:
Moonshine160 · 12/01/2022 22:08

This was the test. Sometimes I think I can see something if I squint but deep down I know I’m just going mad!

Moonshine160 · 12/01/2022 22:07

I’m going to try and stop testing now until my period is due because the early testing and BFN has made me feel worse tbh.
