8 DPO - BFN :( TWW buddies please!

Maybe we have the same bug @TeamSpike 😢 I feel terrible and really fluey. Husband didn't even have a problem with me going back to bed a while ago and that's something. I just lay there shivering. I really thought I had pregnancy symptoms with loads of cramping etc. So disappointed but still hoping a little bit. You could also have a bug but there's still always a chance. Good luck x

Still BFN but no sign of AF. Wish one or the other would happen now

I think I'm out. I'm now 10DPO and 4 days before AF sure and still BFN on early tests although they were cheaper ones not FRER. Going to try to wait now and not test I just feel so crappy and ill so must be a stomach bug or something. Good luck to everyone else x

Well I've been awake since 1.30am. I had a massive panic attack due to my health issues this week. But I have been feeling sick all night and still am now. OK going to get some more tests after I drop Dd at school. Would be great if I am at least then I'll have a explanation as to why I'm feeling so crap. AF was due 2 days ago so fingers crossed

So yes looks like I am pregnant, but unfortunately I think it will be a chemical pregnancy. The bottom FRER is with fmu and the top was taken at midnight. And then the second pic is the fmu FRER against a boots early test. The lines should be strong today as I'm 12dpo but they're very very faint so I'm not optimistic at all. Also having lots of cramping.

Very sad but at least I know I can get pregnant.

@cosymama2020 I've also been freezing! It's not cold. My indoor thermometer says my house is 21 degrees. But I'm all wrapped up

@cosymama2020 the waiting is the worst really! Apart from being absolutely exhausted, my mouth is constantly dry so I'm constantly sipping on water. We know that means I'm constantly peeing. I'm not looking at peeing as a symptom though, just a result of my drinking water. My back hurts. I've been really nauseous and burpy today which is unusual for me. And my whole body just aches. Got a little bit of CM as well which I normally don't get between ovulation & AF.

@Myna13 so disheartening isn’t! What symptoms have you got today? I’m just sooo tired but this sometimes happens before I’m due on! Due on Sunday as I have 31/32 day cycles so having to wait longer to know 😩😅

@naggy095 yay! That's a lovely BFP! Hope that line keeps getting darker over the next few days.

@cosymama2020 I'm also 11dpo today and got a bfn :( AF due today/tomorrow and isn't here yet. I'm currently ready for it to come so I can just get on with it and focus on the next cycle. But I have such strange symptoms today that makes me want to hold out for a few days and hopefully get that BFP. Ugh! Not knowing is the worst! How're you feeling today?

Keep us updated @naggy095 but this looks like a strong BFP to me! I’m 11 DPO today as well and a BFN but not out til AF shows I suppose! I’ve kind of resounded myself to the fact I’m not pregnant this cycle though.

I’m the same @pepperminticecream tempted not to test again unless my AF is late!

aww yay! Look at all those positive tests!! I took one yesterday at 9DPO and it was BFN. I think I will wait now to see if AF comes before taking more. I have a feeling I will be negative this month which I feel fine about. We weren't going to start officially trying until mid Autumn because we have a lot of travel coming up and I had wanted to have a couple months of getting really healthy prior to really trying. Of course, I would be happy to be pregnant this month but if not then all is well.

I caved and tested today. I actually can't believe it and I don't think I will until I do a pink dye test tomorrow as clearblue are awful for evaps and I vowed to never use them again. But I couldn't wait any longer and clearblue were the only brand available in my local shop. I'm actually shaking

Hi everyone. Sorry I've been quiet the last couple of days. I ended up in hospital with a severe migraine. AF was due yesterday. Did a test this morning. Thought I could see a little shadow but it disappeared 😢 can see what I'll be spending my money on now. Lots of tests

No squinting today, line has definitely progressed 🥹 still trying to be realistic that it might not stick as still early!
To those that haven't had BFP yet, it is still early and you're not out til AF comes, fingers crossed for all 🤞

Getting my usual pre-AF cramps now. I've been testing pdg which tests for secreted progesterone in your urine to confirm successful ovulation, and they were all positive 7-9dpo and this morning at 10dpo it was negative 😞 which means my progesterone levels are dropping early. Does anyone know at what point the NHS intervenes and prescribes progesterone?

Welcome @DawnWW ! 8 DPO is still super early so still have more time!

10DPO today, tested with a FRER with FMU and big old BFN. Might test Friday then just wait until AF comes. The PMS/my mood was awful yesterday so I could be out this month.

So this is what happens when you can't wait and test too early. Couldn't sleep so did the only test I could find (a superdrug early detection pink test which goes out of date in 2 weeks 😂) and it was definitely negative. I don't think I can be pregnant because we DTD the day after ovulation was predicted but I'm getting such bad stomach cramps I guess I was just hopeful. I'll try not to think about it and maybe wait until the weekend to get some more although AF is a week away so if I can keep myself distracted I should wait until then.

Hi everyone, joining if that's ok. Lovely to see BFPs coming through! We have just started ' seeing what happens' for what would be baby number 2. DS has just turned one and my cycle hasn't settled at all yet. I wasn't tracking but after we started DTD on holiday I back reached and looks like we started the day after I ovulated. I'm 8DPO now and trying not to test but you guys aren't helping it took 2 years to conceive my DS so know it will take time but I can't help but wonder. I've been getting terrible cramps for days now but know I'm looking for symptoms. The only symptom I had with DS was breathlessness and waited until 1 day before AF due to test. I'll try to wait it out until the weekend when I'll be 10DPO but we will see if I make it that far

Awww congrats @Emilyadams98 no denying those now! ❤️

@Pufflebow I can definitely see a slight line there! Fingers crossed it keeps getting darker 🤞

@pepperminticecream you don't have to do it on the day of ovulation to conceive, anytime 5 days before is good! And I actually read a study that highest probability was when dtd 3 days before so don't stress. Hoping your symptoms are implantation and you get your BFP soon 🤞

I’m the same @pepperminticecream I’m 9dpo and all tests are BFN at the mo. I tested my ovulation and we DTD leading up to it but he got ill the actual day of ovulation so I’m not expecting a BFP this cycle but obviously would love one!

Will keep testing in the mornings and then if stil BFN by Thursday or Friday I’ll stop testing unless AF is late ☺️

Congratulations to all the BFP! I did a cheapie test today at 8DPO and negative. I wasn't actually expecting to be pregnant this month (and we had actually decided to properly start trying this autumn) because we only tried four days prior to ovulation so the chances are very low but I have had cramping and feeling sick on and off for the past week as well as twinges in my left ovary so thought perhaps this month worked. Period is still five days away.
