2 week wait purgatory!

I'm going out of my mind on month 5 of ttc! Anyone else with me?! On 8dpo, every little niggle or thing is driving me crazy. Just had a bit of spotting so could it be implantation bleeding or is my period coming?! (And so begins a 30 min google hole of perimenopause symptoms, because im 40 so it could be!!!) Argh!

@flowerpots2 and @Jellbell40 - I can see lines in both of those!!

I caved and did my test yesterday at 10dpo (I thought I had posted here, but accidentally posted twice on another thread instead!). It was a vvvfl, but I'm not sure if it's HCG leftover after the miscarriage. I now have to wait until tomorrow morning until I can test again so feel a bit stuck in limbo!

@Jellbell40 exciting, I hope AF doesn't come! I wish I hadn't taken a test, I feel so unpregnant now 🙃 I've run out of FRER now so will test again 2 days before AF is due, which will be Monday (my luteal phase is 15 days).

@flowerpots2 definitely not mad, it's a lovely clear line 🥰

Oh and @pineappleK I am now like 12 dpo (11dpo when I took that test!) No sign of period which is good, due today... so will test tomorrow I think.

@flowerpots2 congratulations!! I'd say that's definitely positive 🥰

flowerpots2 · 11/09/2025 07:34

Oh I’m sorry @PineappleKbut as you say, 9DPO is very early!!

I’ve tested again with a FRER and I think there’s something faint, that in person looks to have a bit of colour?

2 week wait purgatory!
PineappleK · 11/09/2025 06:08

I caved, BFN on a FRER 🙈 only 9DPO though so maybe a little early, even for this test. Good luck today @Jellbell40 @flowerpots2

bluepears96 · 10/09/2025 22:48

@Jellbell40I think I see a hint of something. Keep testing and I will live vicariously through you until Friday. Unless I cave tomorrow. 🤷🏼‍♀️

flowerpots2 · 10/09/2025 22:40

@Jellbell40There is definitely something catching my eye there!

Very impressed by all who’ve resisted testing! I couldn’t even get through one day and tested this evening with a cheapie .. I’m sure there’s a shadow of something on it but not sure it has any colour. Will test again tomorrow!

PineappleK · 10/09/2025 21:50

I took a pregnancy test that was negative but somehow didn't look as negative as the rest. 4 days later I had a BFP. I dunno why but that test reminds me of that somehow 😂 best of luck to you ☺️

@Jellbell40 I felt like my period was just around the corner for the first couple of weeks of my first pregnancy, I had really mild cramps but nothing else. Usually get pretty bad cramps before AF arrives. Fingers crossed that tomorrow you get your BFP! I've no idea if I'm going to test tomorrow, how many DPO are you today?

Jellbell40 · 10/09/2025 20:23

Im sorry @flowerpots2 , thats so annoying, but I wouldn't say you're definitely out....it is still quite early? I am suuuper confused as I got what seems to be a vvvvvvfl line this morning but I also feel like AF is coming!
(Due tomorrow/next day). Honestly its just the worst!did you test @PineappleK ?
@bluepears96 good for you waiting! Its definitely best to wait as long as you can bear i think. But it is just a pain in the backside!

Hi guys, hoping to join you.
I am 6DPO today and struggling! I’m waiting till Friday (8DPO) to test but can someone tell me why this part drags so awfully!? It’s like hell!
I’m desperate to know.

best wishes to all of you

PineappleK · 10/09/2025 18:31

I'm trying to talk myself out of testing tomorrow morning (9DPO). Anyone have any luck with positives on day 9 with FRER 😂

Tests are going to cost me a fortune at this rate 🙈

PBandJellySandwich · 10/09/2025 14:11

Sorry to hear about the BFNs so far. I'm 9dpo and have held off testing so far, but it's getting more tempting each day! I still haven't had any symptoms, but being on holiday I think I'm more distracted than usual!

flowerpots2 · 10/09/2025 09:48

I took a FRER this morning which was a BFN. I’m feeling pretty deflated as, whilst I appreciate is unusually early, I tested positive about 8 days before AF with both DCs (and the chemical). So I’m assuming I’m out as AF is due in 5 days and not even a hint or shadow of a line.

@Jellbell40i took a clear blue early detection digital, im driving myself pretty crazy right now😂 I will wait until the weekend and test again I think! Fingers crossed for you

@Jellbell40 I had a BFP on 11DPO with my daughter, so I'm waiting till Saturday which is 11 again. I have a FRER and it'll be 4 days before my period so we'll see. When is everyone else testing?

Sorry about your miscarriage @JHpr here's hoping for some good news soon

Oh I've just seen this! Sorry 😭 same! Im also 10dpo and bfn, really expected to see 2 lines if im honest. Will you wait a couple of days and test again @Magicstar2025
@PineappleK trust me I am driving myself beyond crazy, promise you're not alone! Im sorry you're going through it too but im glad im not alone! When are you going to test?
@JHpr im so sorry about your miscarriage. Which kind of test did you use? I dont want to get hopes up because I know so much of this is a mental game! But I have heard on other threads I've been on, people have had bfns at 10/11dp9 and bfp at 14dpo. I'm hoping thats me too!

Thanks @Jellbell40 and @Aprilsunnyday

I'm trying not to think too much into it but the symptom spotting is ridiculous. Tonight I had some mild period like cramps but I also felt quick sick (I ate a whole bag of sweets oops!) so I suspect the cramping might be gastrointestinal rather than hormonal 😂

Still way more CM than normal but I think I remember having a cycle like this before I got pregnant last time and it turned out to be nothing so just trying to tell myself to be patient. It is starting to go a bit stickier too so could just be normal hormones.

Hope everyone else isn't driving themselves as crazy as I am 🙃

JHpr · 09/09/2025 18:25

I hope it is ok if I join… I had my first positive in August but unfortunately had a miscarriage/chemical at just under 5 weeks, we tried again straight away and now I am 11 dpo (I think I may have actually ovulated later than that though from my ovulation tests) I’m having some crazy symptoms this time that I didn’t with the last. I am super bloated and I’m having a lot of nausea which has been all day until around 4pm for the last 4 days… negative test today which is bumming me out, does anyone have any experience with a negative 11 dpo and testing positive later on? I’m due on on Friday/Saturday.

Thank you @Aprilsunnyday !! Honestly felt like this could be it then did an ill advised test just now 🤣 and obvs bfn. But I think if I implanted it would have been 2 days ago as had teensy bit spotting and period cramps. Why am I so impatient 🙃!!
Let us know how you get on!
