8DPO - anyone else?

Hi everyone. TTC no2, first month trying. I’m currently 8DPO and wondered if anyone else is in the same boat. Finding the TWW is dragging! Have done a test this morning which was negative but know it’s still early. Have had some symptoms, light spotting, cramping, headaches and back ache. Looking for anyone to join me and wait for a BFP!

I'm 8-9dpo (I'm usually consistently day 14 but this month got a solid smiley on day 12 so maybe earlier this month) and got a negative test this morning too but as you say.. still early days! My cycles are pretty short so AF is due Friday and I've had zero symptoms. TTC number 2 been trying since beginning of the year and one MC in June

I am a total POAS addict too! With DD I got a vvvfl at 9dpo so I’d expect to see something around 10dpo but everyone / every pregnancy is different! Sperm can survive for 5 days so you never know! We DTD on day I got my peak clear blue test and two days before also so there’s a chance although I didn’t have much EWCM until around 4dpo which has thrown me! As an impatient person I really struggle with this phase!

Yep! TTC no2, and this is our first cycle of trying after a MC in March this year. I am on 10dpo today! I think my breasts are tender (but only when i press them haha), been having vivid dreams and I seem more fatigued. However...this could all be in my head 😂Had BFN yesterday, but being the POAS addict that I am, I will absolutely test again later today haha! Also, to note, we only dtd once, about 4 days before OV so the chances are prettttty slim!!
