1dpo crew

Honestly I’m trying not to look into it. I don’t think I would consider myself “late” until Sunday with the conflicting info on apps. So I’m just gonna ride out the next few days and try keep myself calm.

Looks like things are looking positive for you! ☺️☺️

Thank you ladies. It has been tough and I think it's all finally got to me! Still, I will regroup and try again as soon as I'm able to get some money behind me.

I think I'm mostly feeling that I'm out now. FRER are around 96% accurate at 6dpt. So there we are.

I've absolutely everything crossed for you all! I'll stick around for the hopeful positives!

The temp is very exciting @CatLady93, as is the sex drive!

Sorry you're feeling meh @Junip2. Remind me where you are in your cycle?

@KT199 what the hell, such a stressful and inconsiderate thing to say to anyone, let alone someone ttc! I totally get the catastrophizing. How are you feeling this morning?

I am a bit meh tbh. I know it’s only my first cycle so really nothing to complain about at all. I think I’ll hold out testing until the weekend now as I can’t face the bfn.

@FlakyAquaQuoter so sorry you’ve had to go through so much, and are going through it! Obviously haven’t been through it myself, but have seen close ones go through and my gosh it seems soooo tough. I am still hopeful for you, even though I am sure you’re not feeling the same. So glad you’ve got a couple of days off! Hopefully today will give you some distraction with DD. Sending hugs xx

Morning @KT199.

Oh gosh I can imagine that stress, you poor thing!
Glad I'm not alone in the self spiral at any hint of bad news.. I'm 30 too.
Your temp chart looks good!

Today is not my day, so I'm slowly getting used to the idea this just isn't going to happen this round.

Looking into how the hell I finance another round. And also considering a few days off to pull myself together. I'm off today and tomorrow anyway, but imagine going to work after a negative on Friday, or test day Monday, may well do me in.

I've worked throughout the entirety of all rounds previously, including the full IVF rounds where I've had a lot of eggs collected and therefore not been able to transfer due to OHSS. But maybe it's my time to take a day or so for a reset.

Planning a nice day out for me and DD today, and tomorrow she's at nursery so I may well just get back in bed!!!

@FlakyAquaQuoter There we go then, that’s defo reassuring!! Hopefully today will be your day 🤞

Im also a catastrophic thinker, I had my follicles checked earlier this cycle on CD10 and he couldn’t find a dominant one and made a suggestion I wasn’t ovulating. THAT WAS IT, I spiralled.. convinced myself I was never able to have kids and my ovaries had prematurely stopped working at 30. I went back for a scan after my LH surge and he was able to confirm I had ovulated so the stress and upset was for nothing, but it’s just who I am!

Awh you don’t need to thank us, but this forum is lovely!!

Morning @CatLady93 @Junip2 how are you two getting on this morning?!

11-13 DPO for me, avoided the morning test again. After the drop in temp for the last two days I’m back up at a high temp. It’s the exact same as the highest temp I’ve recorded so far this cycle, so don’t think AF will show today now. Interested to see what happens tomorrow, below is how we’re looking!

I do, I've read every Facebook, IVF group and mumsnet post about 5dpt negatives. So many saying they didn't get their line until day 6 or 7. Some even saying 8. I think I held on too tightly to day 5 after my previous two.

While this is my 6th round of treatment in total, I've faired quite well with it and managed all the steps reasonably well. This round seems to be the one that's broken me a bit. Which, to be honest, has been quite unexpected. Even before the BFN'S I was a bit of an emotional wreck. Little niggles like worrying the surgical management of the loss has caused some issues, or perhaps since the last was a loss, that I wouldn't manage a pregnancy again for an unknown reason. Which is all massive catasrophising on my end!!

My official test day for the clinic isn't until Monday, so I really should rein this spiral in until at LEAST Saturday. But here we are.

The chocolate helped. 🤣

Thank you so much, honestly I can't tell you how much I appreciate your support. This board really can be a wonderful place!

I've had a very good cathartic cry and I'm curled up with the cats. Ready to go to bed and enjoy my day off tomorrow with my little miracle! Appreciating and reciprocating the hugs! Xx

So sorry!!! I think you do still have some time on your side though so fingers crossed in the next few days you see 2 lines 😟. I think HCG can rise at different levels for different pregnancies too, which is why some ladies see later lines and obviously implantation can be any point upto 12 DPO too and wouldn’t show until 14DPO. Still keeping my fingers crossed for you!

I completely get the feelings of sadness, they’re so valid and it’s okay to sit and process all them feelings too. Yes, eat that chocolate if you feel like it! You don’t need to apologise for your feelings girl, this journey is a rollercoaster of ups and downs, and of course there will be more downs when your not seeing the results you want.

Try relax this evening if you can and get cosy on the sofa, stick on a good film and feel and let out whatever you need.

Sending a big hug your way!!! Xxx

I did, three hour hold and BFN. Not even a hint. I'm now fully in slump and thankful that I'm off tomorrow and Thursday. Might eat my advent calendar to make me feel better.

Obviously I made it worse when I found a thing saying there's like an 80% chance of getting an evening positive on 10DPO, and a 60% chance with FMU. So I had convinced myself that yes, that was the issue, it'd be positive tonight.

Sorry I'm not the most jolly ladies, I'm normally far more hopeful and happy, but something about this round has really gotten to me!

I'm definitely a burying myself in Blankets kinda girl right now. Glad I could take a few hours off.

@CatLady93 love that, hahaha! The perfect excuse!

Well, if I am 12 DPO AF would be due tomorrow.. if I’m 10 (as per FF and natural cycles) it’s due Friday! So I don’t think I’ll look into it being “late” until Sunday really. But will have to do the test Friday if no show as I wouldn’t want to drink without testing just incase!

@CatLady93 hahahah, I don’t think anyone gets a positive at 7DPO soo, I think you can just pretend it never happened 🤣 a moment of weakness we are all guilty of! Fingers crossed the nausea is a sign though!

I’m feeling okay, haven’t tested! Almost did after work, but forced myself to wee without any around 🤣 I didn’t want it to ruin my evening completely! I haven’t got any symptoms that are different to my usual pre-AF and with the temp drop I’m pretty convinced this won’t be the month but I’m just trying to distract myself with work and plans. I normally get quite a heavy feeling in my uterus/pelvis before AF arrives which hasn’t yet started but it is normally the day/night before with a few cramps, so either is gonna show without it, is gonna be another few days or it’s a positive sign! But don’t really wanna hold onto hope too much in all honesty 😂 it’s the hope that crushes you!

Hey @Mary182!! welcome ☺️

Dont worry @Mary182 and @Junip2 about the negatives at 8DPO, definitely more likely to be negative regardless of your outcome this month, still time for it to change!!

@CatLady93 how are you doing?! Are you feeling hopeful for this cycle?

Have you tested this afternoon @FlakyAquaQuoter ? You still have plenty of time! Defo think the time off work if feeling all over is good for you!! I welcome the distractions some days, others I want to bury my head in the sand!!!

@FlakyAquaQuoter ohh maybe I have been on a few other chats recently as I am on my first letrozole cycle w trigger. Really hope you get your Positive!!

@Junip2 right it can be so disheartening especially when you see online people get it so early. But gotta keep faith that we will see our positive line!!

Also, does anyone have any experiences with Morrisons’ own tests?

I am the same as you - 8dpo! And had a BFN this morning, so same boat as you! Holding out hope for us!

Thank you @Junip2! Me too. It is very depressing. I've seen lots of people have BFNs on day 5 and then going on to get positives on day 6 or 7 so I suppose I'm around 50% out of hope now, if that makes sense. 😂 sorry you got a BFN this morning too, though looooots of time yet!

Hey @KT199. Sorry you're feeling like this, I'm royally with you, whilst also clinging onto the tiny bit of hope.

I'll probably try this afternoon, I do have more FRER arriving. So I may as well! I guess there is time, it just feels so hopeless.

Still, I've buggered off from work at lunch time so at least I can be miserable at home and get it out my system. I think this round has gotten on top of me a bit without me realising it.

@CatLady93 - I think that's the thing that always makes me feel so wobbly with it. It's a one and done for a long time due to the finances (and the added kick in the teeth of what that money could have done. Though I guess all I can do is try! It also makes me more nervous as it's taking longer and longer to save and that's adding years on me. Though I'm very fortunate to have 9 embryos in the freezer.

Thank you, I think I'm still hoping, but also letting that hope get chipped away so that hopefully I don't fall apart with a negative round!

Hope you've both had an okay day!

Hey @Mary182 - I feel like I recognise you from another board perhaps. Welcome to the chat! I'm 5dp5dt so 10dpo equivalent and BFN. I have felt a bit sick and have awful headaches and painful boobs, but I'm also on a ton of artifical hormones which will do that to you. I was just about feeling some symptoms that could be positive, then went to work and found out everyone had the same symptoms and turns out we are all just sick 😂

I think I am going to wait a few days now 😅 if i can help it! What about you what dpo are you?

Hello! Oh no, sorry you’ll feeling down about it - totally understandable. 8dpo is still so early - there’s a good chance implantation hasn’t even happened yet! I know with my first I didn’t really have any symptoms until about week 5/6! You’re not out until AF comes!

When do you plan to next test?

Hi all!
hope i can join too!
trying for baby 2
i am currently 8dpo and tested this morning on an easy@home obviously it’s negative. I dont really feel anything symptoms wise anymore. I was crampy from 3dpo-6-7dpo. Maybe that was just random cramps not sure.
feel really upset even though im not out yet but I feel like i know my body and I have no symptoms.

Oh this is sooo exciting! Oh I know the feeling sooo well. I don’t miss it, but for a BFP I’d take it 😂

fingers crossed for Friday!! You’re being so controlled - I can’t help but test if they are in the house!

Yeah, telling myself that there’s still load of time and will try my best not to test until Friday I think.

ahhh all signs are looking good for you!! Will you test on Friday? The nausea is a really hard one to ignore!
