7dpo and keeping busy!

Thank you @Yellowrayofsunshine nice idea to go out. My partner is out for the weekend at a friend's stag do. Probably best for him haha! I've planned to spend the day with some friends tomorrow and our kids. So they can play together whilst we chat/vent 😄

Good luck to you 🤞and enjoy tonight's out!

@Chocolate4 big hugs. You most certainly are not an idiot , when the mind really wants something it will manifest , it’s difficult isn’t it 😣 is there something you could do with your partner or a friend this weekend? I’m going out tonight with partner and DS and thinking about going out for the day tomorrow as well, might as well enjoy the freedom 🙂 good luck on your ttc journey.

Good luck @jellyfish2 , there’s still time, please come back and update us 🙏 🙂

@Chocolate4 thank you, treat yourself to a nice cake too! 😊

Thank you @jellyfish2 I'm trying to not dwell on it. Got my laptop with me and heading to a coffee shop to work there and treat myself.

Sorry to read about your MMC. It does take some time for our body to reset sometimes. And yes, your mind definitely tricks you making you feel all sorts.
I want to say 10dpo is still a bit early for you and I hope the BFP is around the corner.

Baby dust ! Keep us posted

Please don't feel like an idiot, you're not at all. Pms symptoms are so so similar. Plus when you want something so much your body tricks you. I'm sorry AF came this morning, it's so bloody difficult.

10dpo and BFN for me, pretty certain I'm out. Just going to wait for af which should be Monday. Gutted 😞 I feel like I'm convincing myself there's something wrong after surgical management of my MMC but there probably isn't and will just take some time.

@Yellowrayofsunshine I like that saying. Unfortunately for me AF came this morning...12dpo. I feel like an idiot with all my symptoms for past 2 weeks. I was so convinced.
I guess it wasn't meant to be. "Making plans to make life better" as you mentioned, I feel like this 100% something I need to do now. And be just content and feel fulfilled with what I already have.
I'll probably delete my period tracking app so I stop being obsessed, be happy with my life and what will be will be.

I'll still check on here this weekend so please keep us updated!

@Chocolate4 totally get the feeling angry, tired and fed up, that’s exactly how I’m feeling. I’ve not been taking my multivitamin as it’s got vitamin A in it, not been drinking alcohol or having hot baths or exercising as normal, or painting a bedroom I’ve supposed to have done by now, all for seemingly nothing. Still have symptoms, my cat decided to tread on my boobs with force this evening and the pain was out of this world. Really don’t know why I would hurt so much still, but whatever it is , it’s starting to piss me off.

Keep seeing babies and young children around today as well, although that might be because it’s on my mind a LOT, this happened when I was looking to move houses and all I saw was for sale boards everywhere. After this weekend and my last test I’m going to make plans to make my life better which doesn’t involve being pregnant and start rebuilding my relationship with my DH, who has been really worried about me all week. Please keep us updated, hope you’re ok. I keep hearing the phrase in my head “what’s meant for you won’t pass you by”

Ps: those 3 pics are the same test. The one I did at 2pm.

I did test around 2pm and this very faint line came up straight away. I got my hopes up but then when hubby arrived tonight, I did another one, around 7pm and BFN. Like plain white.

Both tests are different brand but both are very sensitive 10mIU.

Anyways...I feel angry, tired and fed up today and just wish I could fast forward my period so I know.

I totally get it. I feel like I'm wasting so much time symptom spotting and checking on Internet or reading forums.
Getting prepared that it could just not be this month and go with it would be much easier and far less stressful and paranoia.

Big day tomorrow for you, it's good that you'll be so busy and won't get a chance to think about it.

@Chocolate4 when are you testing next? I got a BFN this morning, 12dpo. I’ll test again at the weekend at 14/15 dpo and stop, I’m busy from 6am until midnight tomorrow so won’t have chance before then anyway. I’m starting to accept that another child isn’t in my future, the stress of symptom spotting and testing has all got a bit much for me. I really hope you get your positive 🤗xx

It is crazy how our body makes us feel when we symptom spot! It drives me insane! I'm now wondering if it could be endometriosis.

Not testing this morning as don't have any tests left haha.
@Yellowrayofsunshine how are you feeling today?

How is everyone? Anyone testing today?

To add, when I was first pregnant I didn’t know it until 6 weeks in, got exactly the same symptoms but put it down to partying too hard (!!) as I convinced myself I was infertile , i never symptom spotted so was an absolute shock at the time. Now I think all the anxiety about symptom spotting when it’s only been a few days and if I’m not it seems to have messed everything up in my body and I’m feeling things I shouldn’t be.

I’m back to cramping and twinges both in the front and the back, nausea doesn’t seem so bad today though. Would love to know what’s causing it even if it’s not pregnancy, it’s not only cruel to mimick symptoms but worrying. Could be all in my head I suppose. Brains are funny aren’t they 😞

@Chocolate4 before I read your post I thought I spotted a faint line on your picture , not to get your hopes up or anything and as you say, it’s easier to tell in real life. Hope this is the start of something positive for you 🙂 xx

Still some lower belly cramps that come amd goes and had twinges on my left side all morning.

Thank you @Yellowrayofsunshine I'll do an other one tomorrow.
I couldn't help myself to check again the test after I left it sitting for a while and notice a very faint line. It's more noticeable in real. I know it has to be an evap line as it was hours later 😂🤪 but it gives me a bit of hope haha.

Well done for trying to distract yourself. One day at a time.

@Chocolate4 yes it’s been hellish but trying to get through the day and distract myself. I figured because it’s early to test (some don’t get results until at least 14 or 15 dpo) you need first mornings wee to get highest chance of HCG being picked up. It’s still early for you at 10dpo though, don’t give up. What are your symptoms today?

Did a clear blue early detection this morning and BFN... 10dpo today. I believe I'm out as it would have picked it up I guess.

That sounds incredibly frustrating! It's so tough to be feeling all those symptoms and not get the answer you were hoping for. I can't imagine how hard it must be to wait another day. I haven't had a faulty test before. Try to take it easy and do something to distract yourself if you can. Fingers crossed for you that the next test gives you the clarity you need!
Ps: why do you need to wait another 24 hours?

How frustrating. Still have all the symptoms, 11dpo, went to test this morning and the test wouldn’t work !! So now I have to wait another 24 hours to test again. I was in bits last night with the impatience of it all and then the test didn’t work anyway, I’m so upset and frustrated and want to know! Has this happened to anyone else?

@Chocolate4 you’re very kind, thank you for your kind words. Wishing you the best on your ttc journey x

@jellyfish2 well done for staying positive, it's not always easy. Good luck on this cycle!

@Yellowrayofsunshine sorry you feel like that today. Sometimes unexpected things happens and I hope, whatever the outcome, you both will be okay with it.
Sending you some warmth.

@skr97 congratulations on your BFP!

I'm 7dpo, first proper cycle TTC since my MMC in February. Not any real symptoms yet so unsure how it'll go but I'm trying to stay positive.
