7dpo and keeping busy!

Just posting because I can't think of anything else! It's only cycle 1 TTC#2 and I'm already obsessed 🙄

I'm 7/8dpo and AF is due in the next couple of days. Promised myself I would wait until 12dpo to test (by that point I'd be around 4 days late so hopefully more likely to have a positive result!)

How is everyone else keeping distracted / busy?

Keep testing, you're not out until AF shows. Sending you positive thinking and hope 🤞🤞

thank you @Chocolate4 i think I’m out, which is probably lucky as husband wasn’t keen and I’m getting older, feel like this was my last chance so it’s hard to take today :-( The weather is awful and matches my mood at the moment x

@Chocolate4 aww hope she gets better soon! I don’t have any children yet so this would be my first all being well 🤞I’m actually on holiday at the moment so has been a bit easier, usually work keeps me busy but I work shifts so I do have chunks of time off sometimes which can make the days feel so long in the TWW

@Chocolate4 thank you 🤩 exciting, hoping for a good test for you tomorrow! I find waiting the whole day to test the next morning very difficult, I’m so impatient 😅hope you have something to keep you occupied

I agree, it's so hard to resist the urge to test again...and again..and maybe again just to be sure 🤣 I already have 3 little crumpets, 10, 8 and 6 years old. The little one has been ill since Sunday. High fever and stomac ache 🥺 she is off school so keeping me busy looking after her. Luckily I'm self employed and can rearrange my own schedule.

Do you have any children? What do you do to keep yourself busy?

9dpo today. Feeling nauseous this morning. I test and I "think" I see a shadow... Let's see tomorrow.

How is everyone today?

Yellowrayofsunshine · 21/05/2024 05:57

10dpo, feeling nauseous and boobs hurt, BFN. There’s something going on in my body but doesn’t look like pregnancy. Will test again in a couple of days but somehow don’t see the point, something would have shown up by now?

what’s made it worse was that I had a dream about having a baby again last night and the disappointment is quite overwhelming

Hi, took another test today, and it is darker compared to yesterday 🥰tried to take a digital but it wasn’t an early one so showed up as not pregnant, will try to get an early one today! Top test is yesterday and bottom is today

Ooh that's amazing!!! the line is quite clear on today's one!!! 🥰🥰 Congratulations

skr97 · 21/05/2024 07:07

@Yellowrayofsunshine it may still be too early, I had negatives at (approximately) 11dpo and I also felt then unlikely to get a positive this cycle, and then started getting faint positives from 12dpo

Hi everyone ☺️ I'm 8dpo, bfn this morning. I have been having cramps since 3-4 dpo. Yesterday at 7dpo when I wiped I had a tiny amount of CM, rusty brown colour. And this morning, I had some egg white like (only when I wiped after fmu) slightly tinted.
Hopefully it's not AF getting ready super early.

The extreme bloat today was a killer!!

Baby dust to you all 💛

@Yellowrayofsunshine thank you hope you get the result you want x

Yellowrayofsunshine · 20/05/2024 17:51

Yeah I think he wants to rule it out asap as he’s not too happy to consider I might be pregnant to be honest as we weren’t trying, It’s so stressful , i will know for sure in the next few days anyway. Good luck to you for the next cycle x

soymilknosugar · 20/05/2024 17:44

@Yellowrayofsunshine it’s up to you! An early days one should in theory be able to pick it up. I am due my period Weds, not 100% sure when I ovulated as wasn’t tracking and have already tested negative so this isn’t the month for me! But in my last pregnancy I had a faint second line 9dpo and a very strong positive 11dpo so is possible!

Yellowrayofsunshine · 20/05/2024 17:04

soymilknosugar · 20/05/2024 12:16

@Yellowrayofsunshine in my last pregnancy I had a positive at 9dpo so deffo possible. Maybe try in the morning?

@soymilknosugar Yeah hubby is wanting me to test in the morning but keep reading that it’s too early , but will definately try. How many dpo are you now? Are you testing again tomorrow?

@skr97 fingers crossed, keep us updated!

@Yellowrayofsunshine Oooh really! Are you going to do a test?

I really want to but I don’t think anything would show up? I might do one tomorrow but 10dpo is probably still too early. I feel so impatient though!! I still have sore boobs so if it’s not pregnancy my mind is playing a very cruel trick on me :-(

soymilknosugar · 20/05/2024 08:23

@skr97 fingers crossed, keep us updated!

Yellowrayofsunshine · 20/05/2024 08:12

Morning. 9 dpo had cramps yesterday and have thrown up this morning , surely this is all too early for this kind of thing!!? Felt immediately better after so don’t think it’s a bug.

YorkshireSunshine · 20/05/2024 08:10

Morning everyone 😊 10dpo for me today, AF due on Saturday. Caved and did a test this morning BFN but even the control line was very pale so a bit skeptical.

skr97 · 20/05/2024 07:40

Thank you @Bb542 and @soymilknosugar for responding! I’ll update again tomorrow, I have been having some symptoms in recent days, hopefully the lines will be stronger tomorrow

tested again this morning- hard to photograph but I have faint lines on 2 tests!! Let me know what you think

I see it too @skr97 🥰

skr97 · 20/05/2024 07:36

@soymilknosugar yeah roughly 12dpo but I don’t do OPKs , I’m day 28 of a usually 31 day cycle

soymilknosugar · 20/05/2024 07:34

I think I see them @skr97 🤞 is this 12dpo?
