TWW.. 7dpo, anyone else?

130 replies

I'm currently 7dpo (assuming I ovulated on 23/09)

Trying my hardest not to symptom spot but it’s so hard! I’ve been run down and poorly with a viral infection so can’t really pinpoint any symptoms I just feel like pure cack!

Anyone else at a similar stage in their cycle?

@Maybebaby2025 when do you think you'll test?

Maybebaby2025 · 03/10/2024 09:16

Can I join? Not using OPKs so don’t know exactly when I ovulated but I reckon I’m around 6/7dpo. Chronic early tester here though no tests in the house so will hold out as many days as I can.

Duckwars · 03/10/2024 08:11

Tested with one those I bought yesterday that aren't the early ones, for a split second I thought I seen something but it was just my line eyes 😂

@Es92 yeah 7dpo is still early, try not to be too disappointed as you have plenty of time yet.

Es92 · 03/10/2024 07:08

Morning, how are you all feeling today?
I've tested again with FMU, still very negative. Telling myself I'm only 7dpo today so there's still time

slothbat · 02/10/2024 19:56

@Es92 also try think if you did have an implantation bleed today then I'm sure I've read the pregnancy hormone can take 48 hours to start to rise after that so if you do test tomorrow and nothing don't think your out!!! Xx

Duckwars · 02/10/2024 19:50

@Es92 try and focus on something else for the moment. I know that's easier said than done, I'm currently getting period pains and can't help let the mind wander 😂 but before you know it the time will be here to take a test, sending love x

Es92 · 02/10/2024 19:04

@slothbat I get that! Ignorance is bliss for a bit I think, it also makes the wait for the next ovulation week feel sooo long. I definitely wouldn't have tested today if I hadn't had any bleeding, now I'm already over thinking about testing tomorrow so I think not testing mega early is the best approach x

slothbat · 02/10/2024 18:55

@Es92 yeah it really is all a head fuck! I'm only 6DPO today so will hold off for as long as possible. This sounds so strange but the only reason I want to wait is because last month I tested early and each time I got a BFN was so disheartening, it's almost like if I don't know I could still be in with a chance before AF arrives 😂😂😂

Es92 · 02/10/2024 18:45

@slothbat I'm not actually sure how long it takes? I looked online but seems to be conflicting things about timing. God this all just messes with you mentally doesn't it?
How are you doing, are you going to hold off from testing sti?

slothbat · 02/10/2024 18:14

@Es92 so if you've had spotting today which could be implantation doesn't it take a couple days for any pregnancy hormone to start? Don't be disheartened at all! Xxxx

Es92 · 02/10/2024 17:45

Thanks ladies, you're right - it's still really early. I will still test tomorrow first thing and see. Ive still got a tiny bit of spotting - like a drop here and there, not like it was earlier and feeling mega bloated/uncomfortable. Who knows anymore 🙈

slothbat · 02/10/2024 17:20

@Es92 yes don't be disheartened as it's probably just too early!! Your making me want to do a test now 😂😂😂

Duckwars · 02/10/2024 17:17

@Es92 if you're only 6/7 dpo then it's probably too early to show yet. I'd give it a few more days as you may have not implanted yet and then you need to get the hcg built up.

@Es92 how many dpo are you now? 6? Don’t let it dishearten you.. easier said than done I know. But yes test tomorrow and let us know!! 🤞🏼

Es92 · 02/10/2024 17:09

So I did the test and it was a bfn, not even a touch of a vvvfl. I had drank a lot beforehand so maybe that's affecting it? I'm going to test again first thing tomorrow 😕

Duckwars · 02/10/2024 15:47

@Lemonsugar90 yes definitely the early ones then. Fingers crossed for you!

@Duckwars just checked on Amazon and they are 10miu so surely that means they are early detection? The lower the number the more sensitive they are?

OP posts:
Duckwars · 02/10/2024 15:41

@Lemonsugar90 I've never used those ones before, does it say 10mIU on them?

Lemonsugar90 · 02/10/2024 15:33

@Es92 how exciting!! Let us know your results ❤️

I’m going to b&m soon so might have to see if I can spot any early detection tests because the cheapies I’ve got are easy@ home and sure they’re not early tests??

OP posts:
slothbat · 02/10/2024 15:25

@Duckwars 😂😂 this is what I would do which is why I'm staying away from the shops!!

Yeah some people have said they have no symptoms what so ever and others seem to get loads!

Duckwars · 02/10/2024 15:08

I ordered some on amazon and then today when I was in home bargains I grabbed a box but I stupidly didn't get the early ones, I'll still give it a go in the morning though 😂

I've had more AF type aches so I'm doubtful but you never know! I can't remember any of my symptoms from before, I have a 8 & 9 year old.

slothbat · 02/10/2024 14:48

I'm good thanks! Just had to drive somewhere for work and was thinking on the way back the thought of doing this all again next month 😭😭 it's actually mentally really tough!!!

Gellato · 02/10/2024 14:45

@Duckwars I ended up doing exactly that just after my last post 😂 I'm gonna test on Sunday I think, I had my first faint + at 9dpo years ago.
How is everyone else doing? Don't forget to post tests I love looking at them 😆

slothbat · 02/10/2024 14:24

@Es92 sorry just catching up! Eeekkkk we will all be waiting for the test result!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Hi ladies! I'm 6dpo today. Currently have an 8 year old, married 2 years ago, hoping this will be our first together.
Not so much to report the last few days apart from today, there's a strange feeling in the bottom of my belly that's like a cross between mild nausea and that butterfly nervous sensation.
I was going to try and wait for my period on the 10th October so I don't waste any money on tests but I'm so tempted to get some anyway!

Give in, buy some and test a few days before the 10th 😉😂
