8 DPO - BFN :( TWW buddies please!

110 replies

Emilyadams98 · 15/07/2023 18:40

I know I know… 8 DPO is FAR too early for most to test, and I wasn’t going to start until at least 10dpo.. but I caved and did a cheapie easy@home this morning and this evening and it’s stark white! I WISH I waited but I thought about how exciting it would be to see that positive result if by any chance I had implanted at 6DPO and just couldn’t resist.

So disappointed in myself as I’d rather not know if I am or not for a little longer then have a BFN but not being addicted to POAS because I know it’s so early and could pop up at any time if I am! You get more desperate when you see a negative.. need some TWW friends to keep me sane please and any success stories of a 8DPO BFN turned BFP?😁🤍

@TeamSpike welcome!😁thankyou @Luna0905! Can’t wait to see everyone’s results over the next few days, I’ve been feeling super tired today and crampy/ tight and heavy on my lower stomach, slight back ache too x

@cosymama2020 I'm 8dpo today and super gassy and tired too 😂I tested this morning and think I can see a super faint line, but not sure if it's evap 😅

cosymama2020 · 17/07/2023 14:58

Welcome @TeamSpike I’m in awe of your patience! I’m 8/9 DPO today and already tested twice in one day 😂 keep us updated!

I thought I had lost all symptoms and now today I’ve got twinges in my womb area and I feel so sick, a bit dizzy and soo tired! It might be nothing but praying it might be implantation?

So gassy as well today 😩😅

TeamSpike · 17/07/2023 14:33

Hi! Can I join please?! On first cycle ttc no 2. Dd has just turned 8 so it's been a long time since I was pregnant! I tested on Sat 8dpo. BFN. Going to try again tomorrow

Luna0905 · 17/07/2023 14:23

Gosh sorry I’ve just been playing catch up 😂
congrats @Emilyadams98 looks like great lines for you, keep us posted on your progression 🥳

hi to all the new joiners and good luck to everyone testing 🍀 keep us all updated!

I might test tomorrow but let’s see what my BBT does tomorrow. It took a dive off a cliff today so I’ll keep an eye on that before doing a test (hopefully was just a blip or maybe that the cat woke me up at 4am so threw the results off 😂). Cried at work at 9.30am and couldn’t stop sobbing, could be a good sign, I never cry at work ever, even before my period 🤞🏼🤞🏼 xxx

@Emilyadams98 I also ovulated early as well 🤣 CD11 this cycle vs CD14 last cycle. Oh that's good they're back now! They've been unavailable for a while. I actually went the extra mile and bought a 3 pack of FRER from the US last week 🥲

@Luna0905 hey I'm feeling better today, the antibiotics must be working finally! I'm sorry to hear it's taking such a long time for you 😞 I know you've probably researched everything already but have you tried myo-inositol? It's apparently supposed to help with PCOS. I've also heard a lot of stories of women about to start IVF and then finally fall pregnant on the last cycle beforehand! I have everything crossed for you that this will be your BFP xx

@naggy095 glad you’re feeling better!
I am indeed taking inositol, been taking for a while now, hopefully it starts to take an effect soon! Fingers crossed for you too! Xx

Jennifer89 · 17/07/2023 12:56

I am now 10 dpo. I usually get spotting before period but this month it just seem different, it has been on and off spotting since 7 dpo but trying not to get my hopes up..
Tempted to test tomorrow.
I am due to get fibroid removed in September which apparently could be impacting me conceiving but we gave this month one more shot just to see what happens..

I also bought a clearblue, sceptical on those as I’ve had false positives before but where I’ve got faints on other tests, I have one a go and got a clear positive!, a lot more visible than the false I got last month which was like a shadow, lol @cosymama2020 i feel you on that🤣 I’ve just bought £30 worth of clear blues and have £20 worth of FRER coming tomorrow 🤣🤣 got a box of cheapies too and already gone through 2 FRER 🤣 I’m terrible.. did 30 with DD

Thankyou everyone!😁 only a few days left for everyone!! It’s hard isn’t it, @naggy095 like you say once you get to 8dpo something changes and it becomes almost impossible not to test🤣🤣, done another cheapie mid day and it’s definitely more there than at 7:30 this morning! Going to tell DP when he gets home from work.. so excited!

cosymama2020 · 17/07/2023 11:28

Okay I just went wild at boots haha spent about £40 on loads of different tests 😂 I have the urge to test later but I know I just need to wait!

Myna13 · 17/07/2023 09:05

@naggy095 when you get to 8dpo it's soo hard to just wait a few more days 😂 keep us posted with your 10dpo tests! Wishing you luck and baby dust🤞

Myna13 · 17/07/2023 09:04

@cosymama2020 I'm an early tester. I've got a box of cheapies that I'll probably use every morning until Thursday, just to keep my mind at ease. Save the Clear Blue's for Thursday. I've also just ordered some FRERs that come tomorrow, so the earliest I can use that is Wednesday morning 😂

naggy095 · 17/07/2023 08:59

8dpo today as well and couldn't resist with everyone else testing 😂 but BFN, as expected. Think I'll wait till 10dpo to test again

Lily124 · 17/07/2023 08:56

Aw yayyyy congratulations @Emilyadams98 🎉🎉🎉

Full/sore boobs still only symptom for me but not uncommon in run up to AF so not reading too much into it!

cosymama2020 · 17/07/2023 08:55

@Myna13 I’m the same! Honestly I think I’ve started something I can’t stop now, I can see myself testing everyday now until AF shows. I just need to know although my common sense is telling me I need to wait until at least Wednesday. When are you going to test again?

Myna13 · 17/07/2023 08:52

@cosymama2020 I'm 8dpo too and tested this morning (BFN). When do you think you'll test next? I would ideally wait until Thursday. But I don't know if I'll last that long 😂
@pepperminticecream hoping for a BFP for you! Not long until we can all start reliably testing. Keep us updated, and good luck!

cosymama2020 · 17/07/2023 08:38

Thank you @Myna13 ! I’ll pop an update over when I do the next test 😊

Myna13 · 17/07/2023 07:59

Good luck @cosymama2020 ! Hopefully we both have BFPs in the coming days. Keep us posted

cosymama2020 · 17/07/2023 07:28

Morning! Congrats on your BFP @Emilyadams98 wonderful news!

I’m 8DPO and did a Clearblue early detection and it was a BFN! Ordered some more and going to run to boots before work and try to get some pink dyes. Only symptoms at the mo is very gassy and awful mood 😂

pepperminticecream · 17/07/2023 07:24

Hello--would love to join. I am currently 7DPO and trying to hold out testing as its still so early. I have had some cramping and nausea for the past couple of days but I also remember having a couple months of the same prior to conceiving our DS so not trying to put too much weight on that right now!

@naggy095 Thankyou sm!, I won’t take a digital for another few days as I didn’t get positive with digitals until a few days after I found out with DD (first few were negative as they’re not as sensitive as sticks but obvious lines on sticks), I have started getting slower back ache and a slightly heavy feeling on my lower stomach, super gassy still too, that’s it thought no other symptoms for me! Fingers crossed for you xx

@Emilyadams98 aw congratulations how lovely! 💕
Woke up this morning and I'm getting cramps. This is very typical for me in the TWW so now I'm feeling less optimistic but I know it's still very early

Myna13 · 17/07/2023 06:00

@Emilyadams98 hehe I'll take my gassyness as a potential good sign then 😂

@Emilyadams98 Yayy! 🥳🥳 I'm so excited. Keep us posted with line progression! I did a clearblue and it came back negative. A little bummed, but I'm only 8dpo today so it is still early. It's not over until AF arrives I guess. This is just the news I needed to brighten up my morning! I'm so pleased for you 😋❤️

Thankyou so much 🤍, don’t worry!!! I know the feeling.. but like you said it’s very early still you’ve still got a chance! It’s not over until the witch 🧙🏻‍♀️ comes! I will defo keep you updated and fingers crossed for you sweet, (still super gassy so it definitely is a symptom 🤣)
