Lucky thread for all those around 7dpo...

[mamabear05]

Hi girls

Thought it might be useful to start a thread to get all those of us who are down to our last week of the tww together and who are going to start testing soon!

Let the symptom sharing etc begin and let's pour all our best wishes in for plenty of bfps this coming week!

Who's with me?

I've been googling every symptom too! This wait is driving me crazy! I tested this morning (I'm not sure when I ovulated, but in 28 day cycle with assumption I ovulated on day 14, I'm 10 dpo). It was negative. I am using internet cheapie, not sure if I should get a 'better' test for later in the week.

Joining this thread If I may please

AF due Thursday. However my cycle has changed since MC and has been around 21 days so not sure if it will change again this month! Been symptom spotting and driving myself insane, however got a BFN yesterday guess I’ll just have to wait for AF now..
Love hearing all your stories ! X

Hi. I am 9dpo according to Flo so due AF on Friday - Sunday (my cycles vary in length) We have been trying since October and I woul love this to be our month. I have also had mild indigestion but have also been emotional, so AF could be on the way. I hate the waiting! We are going to try OPKs next cycle if AF does arrive. Fx for bfps for all of us.

I managed to hold off testing this morning at 8dpo, v proud of myself. Having these threads helps as i have to get my kicks from checking every morning whether anyone else has tested lol. It’s also so nice as you can’t really talk to anyone about it in RL other than DH who doesn’t get the all consuming nature of it all. Good luck everyone!!

Haha I let me DH onto a few bits but he'd think I was crazy if he actually knew how much of my mind it was consuming at the min. Very unhealthy I know!!!

So last night I had the weirdest mixed up dream and started feeling nauseous as soon as I brushed my teeth this morning. Tested like I knew I shouldn't have with at ic and got a BFN. Knows it's totally too early at 8dpo but at least I know the nausea isn't being caused by any hcg so can stop dreaming all day haha.

Just arrived at work so got at least 7.5 hours to convince myself that there is no point in stopping at boots on the way home and picking up a frer for the morning when I'll be 9dpo.......

Hey Mamas to be ... hopefully !
Sending lots of positive vibes for this horrendous wait !
@mamabear05 I’m 8dpo too and did a test this morning BFN obviously haha 🤦🏼‍♀️ ! I just hate waiting !!! I am only 5days off AF though as I have short cycles 😩.

I just want to say to everyone not to worry if you have no symptoms. I absolutely believe everyone’s symptoms are completely valid. However, don’t be disheartened if you have none. I feel sometimes in this tww we become completely self aware and more heightened to every little change in our bodies, which can also be heightened by our emotional state also. Eg stressing causes nausea and delayed AF. People can be pregnant with or without symptoms so keep yourselves positive and try and relax to create a nice homely environment for our little hopefully fertilised eggs !!

*4days off AF not 5 🤦🏼‍♀️😩

@mamabear05 hehe for testing! I was a good girl and held off this morning because I was in a rush and wasn't in a good mood. Not been sleeping well. Got the most mildest metallic taste earlier which I'm trying not to read into. Come on Wednesday I need to test!!

Succumbed this afternoon at 8/9dpo and BFN! Why smh?! Ladies, can one of you get some sense through my thick skull? TIA.

I've only got 3 ic 's left and 4 Superdrug tests question is do I test tomorrow with an ic or wait till Wednesday. About a week before af spotting due xx

Got a bfn this morn and was absolutely gutted! Dont know why i expected anything else!

Nothing today starting to think I'm out even tho I'm only 9dpo. Will test tomorrow morning. Sending positive vibes to everyone!

Sorry about the BFNs. I had a wee cry today even tho I know it's only our first cycle and it's still early. DP was very sweet and said we'll just have to do it next month instead, but I really felt like we had done it! Silly me

@Owlpatrol if you have a few Superdrug ones there's no harm in doing one tomorrow but be prepared for a BFN as it might be too early! Apparently ICs say they are more sensitive but actually they often seem to show up fainter than the 'proper' ones. Superdrug ones have good reviews though. I did an ic and a frer on the same day last cycle (10dpo) when I was pregnant and you could barely see the second line on the ic but clear as day of a little faint on the frer. I'm going to do a frer tomorrow (9dpo) then if bfn ic on wed then keep alternating until 12dpo when I'll consider myself out and wait for AF if I've not had a bfp. Good luck! Xx

@Filzma @surreygirl1987 @Celebelly I've just read that the average day for implantation is day 9 therefore we may not even have implanted yet!!!! It would then take 2-3 days to show up on a sensitive tests. Let's keep positive...

@JLamb89 you too lol, we're still in the running here!!!!

And anyone else who's tested with a bfn so far!

Ok so I caved this afternoon and POAS - was afternoon pee and cheap Co-op test as I was really expecting will be BFN & didn't want to use up my FRER- stupid to test but thought it would stop me obsessing for a bit this week!
... think I can see a really faint line in test window ... imagining it? but not sure if could be an evap as left it for just over the suggested 10 min wait (~ 5 mins extra) many people have experience with these tests and likelihood to evap? First time I've used them. Think am about 10dpo ish. Why am I so stupid for testing early & putting myself through this! 🙈

Yep positive vibes all round girls. I have a good feeling this month as I have no real af symptoms however it's still early but looking back i have usually started cramping by now

I was sure I'd implanted on 6dpo as I had weird pains but was prob just my mind playing tricks on me. I've eaten the world today to try cheer me up!

Got some FRERs in stock and will be back to positive self tomorrow!

Defo a line @Jessabean !!! Didn't even have to zoom in on pic.

@Jessabean deffo a line however yes I have heard about these being notorious for evaps. If you've got frers in stock try one in the morning eeeeek exciting! Xx

I see a line Jessabean! Massive congratulations!!

Thanks @Celebelly is good to know I'm not going completely crazy & imaging what I want to see!!
Just really hoping it's not an evap! Thinking of testing with my FRER with FMU tomorrow morning to try to be more sure. Might hold off another day if I'm feeling brave...
Don't worry from what plenty of others on here have told me 8 & 9 dpo have been negative even on FRER to then be positive couple to even few days later. My FRER was a defo negative with FMU Sun morning. Not over till the fat af sings!

@jessabean can definitely see a line !! Just get that frer ready for fmu to confirm it !!! 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻

I did midwifery and fertility was brushed upon in the training and implantation can happen anything from 6-12 days . We are all unique and fx that we will implant tomorrow on 9 dpo being the most common day for implant! But hey it’s definitely not over until AF rears her ugly being ! Also we have a normal time limit til 12 dpo anyway !!!
Having all my knowledge doesn’t stop me obsessing about POAs everyday though haha oh dear !

OH asked where all the pregnancy tests have gone so I looked like a crazy woman telling him it’s basicly my new hobby ...
