Page 4 | 8 DPO - BFN :( TWW buddies please!

Emilyadams98 · 2023-07-15T17:40:52+00:00

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?😁🤍

@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 😋❤️

I think it I my BFP!, in person it’s pink too so it’s definitely a faint positive 😁😭, fingers crossed it sticks!, I’m going to keep testing though for line progression so will keep you updated! I can’t get hold of anymore FRER until tomorrow, I’ve ordered 2x packs of 2 and will keep using the cheapies, don’t want to tell DP until I know it’s not chemical xx

@Emilyadams98 that's so amazing! I definitely can see a faint line. I'm sure it's a little darker in person. Congratulations 🥳 are we saying this is your BFP or are you going to wait until it's darker?

100%! Darker than yesterdays 😭, it’s right there in person.. I took a cheapie and I’ve had not even a shadow on those the whole time I’ve used them (they’re less sensitive than the FRER) and I’ve got an absolute squinter on this one.. couldn’t pick it up on camera but there is a slight shadow!

@Emilyadams98 I swear I can see a faint line!

@Emilyadams98 nice ! I haven't tried them before. Will order some right away 😋

Definitely the FRER, they’re the most sensitive test on the market, detect the smallest amount of HCG, more sensitive than clear blue, it’s what I got my positive on with DD and swear by them! I was 3.5 weeks with DD, 4 days before AF was due

OP posts:

Myna13 · 16/07/2023 22:14

@Emilyadams98 oh no! that sounds super disappointing. Thanks for the advice. I'll make sure to pick up some other pink dye tests as well. Are there any you recommend that might be sensitive to low hcg early on?

@Emilyadams98 so cool how our bodies all react differently, and how every pregnancy is different. But also frustrating because there's no way to know except to just wait and pee 😂
I'm 8dpo tomorrow. But AF is due Friday and I've one of those 6 day early clear blue tests. If the cheapies don't satisfy me tomorrow morning, I might break one open. Keep me posted with your test, and good luck!

@Myna13 isnt it! Some are so sick through pregnancy and some hardly feel a niggle!, lol exactly 🤣 AF is due Friday for me too! Please be careful with clearblue :( I had a false positive last month vvcv faint line, they’re notorious for it apparently, if you see a shadow on a clear blue or what could be an indent grab a pink dye test to
make sure! Would hate for you to experience the same heartbreak I did last month thinking I was pregnant xx

@Emilyadams98 I've also been really gassy today. It could be something I ate though. Also, TMI as well - I've been pooping more frequently yesterday & today. Strange stuff our bodies 😅
Keep us updated about your tests! Hoping for a BFP in a few days time!
Love having other ladies going through the same thing as me and in the same situation as me. Makes it feel a lot less lonely ❤

@Myna13 me too! All day today I’ve been pooping a lot 🤣 since the middle of the night so it can’t be something I’ve eaten! Maybe it’s a symptom.. with DD I had terrible constipation through the 1st trimester and had to have lactulose 🤣🤣 the things our bodies go through! But wouldn’t change it for the world. Thankyou so much! Will keep you updated tomorrow morning with the test. Will be 10 dpo tomorrow (when I originally planned to start testing 🤣)

100%! The support and understanding keeps you sane when you get all loopy peeing on 30 sticks a day 🤣

Hi!
Can I join pls?
I'm 7dpo today, but definitely an early tester. I've been peeing on the cheapies since Friday morning. I find peeing and seeing a negative is better than not peeing and wondering. I won't count myself out until AF comes.
I've been having all sorts of strange symptoms - lotioney CM, dry mouth, cramps and lower back pain, seeing a lot, and nausea. Sounds like a lot of good things for a BFP, but I haven't got one yet.
I've been really anxious today as well. Not about anything specific. But there's this strange anxiety that looming over me. Not sure if that's relevant to anything.
Hoping to see some BFPs here in the coming days! Lots of love and baby dust to you all ❤

@naggy095 Could defo be!! Fingers crossed for you, it’s awful I’m waiting for tomorrow to do the other frer but so worried it’s gonna be negative.. won’t get anymore till Tuesday either when they’re delivered 😭 TMI but I’ve been SUPER gassy today 😭 like oddly so all day long.. no other symptoms though!

@ViewFromAfar of course welcome!, baby dust to you and let’s hope it’s worked! How long have you been TTC?

@Myna13 yes welcome sweet!, argh see I wish I never tested because I HATE seeing a stark white test! I feel so frustrated! I feel you girl, I get anxious in the TWW just because of all the anticipation and worry 🫣, thats why I created this thread because it helps having women in the same boat as you who get it! Will be crossing fingers for a BFP for you and baby dust right back!🤍

Hi, thought I would tag along on the journey if that is ok!

I have had my first attempt at iui last week and am currently 6 DPO! This TWW is long! Good luck everyone

naggy095 · 16/07/2023 18:24

@Emilyadams98 good luck for tomorrow 🤞🏼
I think I'll wait till 9dpo still. Just realised I had a temp dip today as well so could be implantation dip, or just a random one. So best to wait a couple days before I test. Trying so hard to not get my hopes up 😂

Will test again tomorrow with FMU and check again! Easy@home stark white though.. but FRER is more sensitive.

@naggy095 that sounds positive! Are you going to test tomorrow?

OP posts:

naggy095 · 16/07/2023 16:07

Just went to the toilet and I had loads of creamy but stretchy CM, never had that before. I hope it's a good sign

@Emilyadams98 I think I can see a very very faint line. Have my fingers crossed for you 🤞🏼

Lily124 · 16/07/2023 16:02

Emilyadams98 · 16/07/2023 15:53

Can any one see this squinter? I took a FRER I’m 9 DPO today🫣 I saw a very faint line a minute Into taking the test, but it disappeared after a while and could only see a slight shadow! Wasn’t as clear as it was while the test was still running.. any advice?😭

At first I couldn't see it but the more I look at the more I see a line 😀so fingers crossed for a darker line tomorrow!

@naggy095 thank you, I know, just on the look out for every possible symptom 😂 Really is crazy how obsessed we become with symptoms and testing in the 2ww isn't it!

@Emilyadams98 I'm with you on the craziness of wanting to test early, waiting another week is like waiting a year! But don't worry I think most people still test negative on day 8 so definitely can still pop up at any time. When is you AF due?

@Luna0905 sorry you've been trying such a long time that must be so hard, got everything crossed that this is your month!

@cosymama2020 fingers crossed for you tomorrow, I also plan on testing every morning from day 8 because I won't be able to wait any longer 😜got some early detection tests and that will be 4 days before AF due so hopefully reasonable chance of seeing something

cosymama2020 · 16/07/2023 13:44

Hi! I’m 7 or 8 DPO (flo says 7, opks are 8) and I feel like I was really symptom heavy last week and that it’s all gone over the last few days!

I did an early detection CB test about 30 mins ago and it was BFN but they do say they it must be FMU so I’ll test again tomorrow!

naggy095 · 16/07/2023 13:20

@Lily124 just a heads up you don't always get implantation bleeding 😊 I never did with DD. It really is sooo hard waiting around for the first opportunity to test. I'll be 8dpo tomorrow and I said I'd wait till earliest 9dpo but I bet I'll still do a test tomorrow because I just have no patience 😂
