8DPO - anyone with me?!

Just looking for some TTC buddies whilst I get through this tww that seems to be taking an age!

I’ve had next to no symptoms of either AF or pregnancy apart from a needle sharp twinge low down on my right (I think uterus area) last night that lasted about 2 minutes, and a big temp drop 4DPO and 8DPO but still above cover line.

Trying to hold off testing as I didn’t get my bfp with my first until 9dpo - I’m just not very patient!

Good luck! I’m on CD2 as my period showed her face 2 days ago. I’m feeling ready to try again, and at the moment feeling strong about not starting to test too early in my tww… my bank balance will thank me! I have a bunch of cheap easy@home strips but my tww brain tells me I need to keep buying early response tests. It’s mad, I’m mad!

8 DPO! Good luck everyone. I’m back trying after a 3 month break and feeling more positive

I got him from work and did 2 more tests, pointless i know 🤣 both a faint line. So anxious after a loss in May, too scared to believe its possible to be honest. I got to 8 weeks before, so trying so hard not to lose it 🤣🙏

I'm definitely going to test again this evening, because if I don't, all I'll be thinking about is stopping myself testing - fingers crossed at least something appears!

@lauren19890 - definitely keep testing! It's such a nerve wracking time, my whole life atm is revolving around making sure I don't wee too often, crazy!

It’s such a torturous wait! @Peedthebedi did in fact waste my time this morning and did a test, albeit a cheap easy@home one but it was the whitest white I have ever seen… 🙄
