Hi everyone!

5dpo today, trying my very hardest to stay off google and not symptom spot as even I know it's way too early!!

Anyone else want to buddy up for this cycle?

Hi @emhope! I know it can be disappointing when it arrives but I also feel excited that it's the start of a new cycle! I'm still waiting for mine to start, it should be coming any day now.

I have a good feeling about this month!

How is everyone doing? AF arrived for me last night, obviously disappointed but pleased in a way it has come on time and shows my body has got back to normal after the MMC.

Actually feeling positive about the next cycle and might try clear blue ovulation tests this time 😊

Keeping my fingers crossed!

10DPO today and been cramping since 7DPO. Craving carbs and salt, sore boobs fatigue, moody and bloated.

Negative test though. But not out until the period arrives!

Ive had the same and on 14dpo and no period and tests all negative. The wait continues!

I have recently been diagnosed with PCOS as well which apparently means it can take longer to show a positive result!

I'm going to try my hardest to be patient and wait but I'm not very good at that 😂

I hope you all get the result you want 🤞

9 dpo and just got a bfn. Sigh. Early days but it's annoying!

I feel like I'm out this month too. I tested again yesterday at what I'm sure was 10dpo and it was a solid negative. I think I'm just going to wait for my period to start now as constantly testing negative is a lot to handle.

I haven't really had any symptoms either. My boobs aren't any different at all and i'm getting very mild cramping but that's pretty normal for me I think.

Try not to lose hope ⭐️

I didnt show up positive on tests until a few days late in both my pregnancies. Some people take longer to show up on tests. Its hard work constantly testing and getting negatives. I find the wait so hard. Im on 11dpo and feel sick and boobs have stopped hurting so no idea whats going on with my body.

I did another FRER test this morning and 10/11DPO and negative again 😔 so the OPK rising must be to do with AF on the way. Feeling really sad again now and just want AF to arrive so I can move on to the next cycle.

itsnearlymytime · 14/06/2022 07:24

How is everyone today? im 10/11dpo today, left breast pain which I never get, but having cramps so I assume I'm out and AF is on her way :(

Thank you for the reply @Hiddenvoice! It's such a crazy journey but all the support really helps.

Please still don’t give up hopes! I had no pregnancy symptoms until I hit 9 weeks! Most of my family didn’t have any symptoms until a few weeks pregnant too.

@itsnearlymytime don't worry I cried as well! That's so sweet of him though!

I definitely think I'm out this month though.. although I know it's really early for symptoms still I just don't feel anything apart from some light cramping.

itsnearlymytime · 13/06/2022 11:12

@MCG2022 I crumbled haha, I did a clear Blue 4th wee of the day and cried when I got a negative! Told my partner and he's been so sweet saying it doesn't mean anything yet and bought me a bunch of flowers!

I'm 9/10dpo too I'm gonna wait til AF shows on Friday as I can't look at another test x

Hi everyone, tested again this morning and i think I'm 10dpo and it was a BFN. I'm going to test again in 2 days and then assume I'm definitely out for this month!

I am keeping everything crossed for you all!

Thought this might give people some hope x

5dpo - looking for cycle buddies!
Thetractorjustmoved · 13/06/2022 09:14

8dpo and going craaaaazy. Trying to hold out til Wednesday, and even that will be early. Fingers crossed for you guys, odds are, someone on this thread with get bfp!

emhope · 13/06/2022 09:13

@itsnearlymytime I think I will test again tomorrow or Wednesday if I can hold out that long!

I just did an OPK (I am doing them throughout my cycle) and it is slightly darker than the ones from the last 4 days! It is probably nothing, but with my last pregnancy the OPK’s got darker from 9dpo until 11DPO when they went positive again and then I tested with HCG and got my BFP.

maybe I’m just trying to hold onto any bit of hope/sign 😆 🤞🏻

itsnearlymytime · 13/06/2022 07:11

@emhope I haven't tested since Friday and I'm terrified to haha! Maybe Wednesday or maybe I'll just not test and see if AF comes!! What about you?? X

emhope · 13/06/2022 07:08

@itsnearlymytime yes I’m feeling really down after seeing yesterday’s stark white negative. I’m too scared to test again today at 9/10DPO as I don’t want to see another negative. Think I will wait a couple of days. Trying to hold on to the small chance it was just too early but like you I also have zero symptoms. When are you thinking of testing again?

itsnearlymytime · 13/06/2022 06:44

anyone else feeling really down? I am 9/10dpo today, I'm scared to test because I can't face seeing just one line!

I don't feel any different now at all, like zero symptoms at all 😐

Ejk1990 · 12/06/2022 19:08

5dpo today and feeling so exhausted and moody today.

Hoping its not early PMS.

itsnearlymytime · 12/06/2022 17:40

@emhope I'm the same!! 8/9dpo today and nothing 😭😭
