12dpo today... BFN this morning on cheap test 😫, uterus area still feels sensitive and cramps have slowed but still mildly there. Feeling like AF will strike at any moment as I thought I'd have something by now 😪 will just wait a few days I guess.

Laura7899 · 26/06/2023 09:00

So sorry @Kellyaust :( excuse my ignorance but what’s an indent?

CinderRosie · 26/06/2023 08:49

@Kellyaust that line looks too pink to be an indent although apparently FRER are terrible for indents now (I've had a few myself) could the blood be implantation or are you cramping like AF too?

Kellyaust · 26/06/2023 08:37

Well my AF seems to have arrived 1 week early!! 😪 Had blood 5 mins after I took this test... I'm 8DPO...looks like frer have indents too...

Ordered some more tests which I'm picking up from Boots tomorrow. I'll be 12DPO tomorrow and then AF is due on Tuesday so should know either way soon x

I only have about 4 days until AF is supposed to be here (11dpo today) but it still feels so far! It was negative on an easy@home on 9dpo, but with the cramps it has felt like it's going to come. Last AF I had no symptoms leading up to it so thinking it might be extra PMS this month because none last time 🙄

Poppins2016 · 25/06/2023 09:55

8dpo today and got a negative test... (bah humbug). Going to avoid testing again for at least a day or two. My BBT chart has started to look triphasic, which gives me some hope... (I really wish I could wait until I miss a period to test but I'm so, so impatient) 😬

Hi everyone.

I'm new here, so thought I'd say hello!

I just turned 32, have been TTC since May last year. I've been diagnosed with unexplained infertility and have had 2 failed IUIs, with my final one IUI coming up next week. After that, I'm on the waitlist for IVF.

Despite this, I'm still hopeful it could happen without assistance for me as it's only been 1 year of TTC. My treatment progressed faster than I expected, and as there are no clear 'blockers', I'm sticking around here as well as the Infertility threads.

I live in Copenhagen and I'm TTC baby number 1. Looking forward to reading about all your journeys!

@Kellyaust @mommabear64 I'm also feeling absolutely exhausted and cranky with everyone (for reasons that are totally irrational, like I was secretly annoyed at my MIL for being too complimentary to my daughter - I actually love my MIL!!) so taking that as a another preg symptom because when I was pregnant with my daughter the first symptom was being irrationally annoyed at everyone around - I was angry at my husband for getting up to go to work when I wanted a lie in.

In reality I'm probably too warm

mommabear64 · 24/06/2023 18:41

@LlamaMamma i'm wondering that too. Line has definitely not dried up at all and my period is late but i can't test till tonight. Trying not to read anything in to it though

Kellyaust · 24/06/2023 17:51

@LlamaMamma

Sorry forgot to say I'm 7DPO I think

Kellyaust · 24/06/2023 17:51

@LlamaMamma

No idea on the discharge, I've read that it should've dried up by now... But mine hasn't

Kellyaust · 24/06/2023 17:49

I'm starting to think my symptoms are just from a rush of progesterone having just had my first ovulation since my MMC in may 🤦‍♀️ feel gutted really wanted to fall pregnant again fast n convinced myself I had these are my symptoms since 3DPO......

Would discharge suggest I am pregnant or I'm not? It's there some days and not others. 6 DPO

naggy095 · 24/06/2023 17:19

@Dreamer88 that's what I've been like past couple days, so incredibly tired but can't tell if it's the heat or a symptom 😂

Dreamer88 · 24/06/2023 17:13

Does anyone else feel that the warm weather is adding to symptoms that might not even be there? For example- tiredness from the heat, or feeling a bit ‘bleugh’ because it’s quite close.

8 DPO and trying to hold out testing.

Poppins2016 · 24/06/2023 16:45

I've been crampy today and my nipples are sore (I'm still breastfeeding my last "baby" so quite noticeable). 8dpo tomorrow and very tempted to test but aware it could still be too early (however I had a clear positive at 8dpo with my last pregnancy, so there's a chance...) 🤔

BB2023 · 24/06/2023 07:27

I cracked and took a test yesterday at 9DPO - it was bfn! I dont have any other tests now so will have to wait now!
I've woken up with a headache and cold/flu symptoms. Just feel a bit off. But not pregnancy symptoms so reckon it's not my month but AF due Tues so we'll see x

This is exactly my thought process... I think my brain is trying to protect me from disappointment by persuading me that I couldn't physically be pregnant.

Ovulated on Monday.
Had sex Tue, Thu, Fri, Sat but ... not Sunday!! Really beating myself up!

I wish my brain would do that tbh. I think I’m setting myself up for disappointment this month because I’ve had so many symptoms that even my husband has started saying “we both know you’re pregnant.”

I’ve been being sick and having constant nausea since 3DPO. Cramping (mild) since 5DPO + mild spotting and a temp dip on day 5. My sense of smell has gone insane…. This is almost exactly what happened in my first pregnancy (and at the time I put it down to being after effects of the Covid jab).

I think I’ll be fine if it’s a BFN, but at this point I’ve convinced myself I’m already pregnant 😬

7DPO. As expected, I woke up thinking “I think I need to take a test.” Of course nothing came up 😆

Me too girls 😂
I think I just can't actually imagine it happening so I keep talking myself around to thinking I can't be pregnant

Hi,

Hoping it's okay to join in. I'm around 4-5 DPO. We move been trying for 11 months now. If no luck this cycle or next, I think I will arrange a doctors appointment.

We've ordered an at home SA kit from Superdrug. Has anyone tried this before? We live rural and the closest private fertility clinic is hours away so thought it was worth a try.

Best of luck to everyone x

Kellyaust · 23/06/2023 21:31

@BuzzieBo ...... You're not alone... I'm 6dpo and did the same.... Then squinted at it for over half an hour back n forth to bathroom 🤦‍♀️🤯 lock me up

glasspaw · 23/06/2023 21:24

Missed the quote, but that was a reply to @BuzzieBo

glasspaw · 23/06/2023 21:23

I did this at 6DPO today 😂 and I will obviously do the same tomorrow despite knowing I’m at least a few days early.

I’ve literally just ordered more tests to account for how often I know I’m going to want to check even though I know it’s very very silly.
