Testing at 9dpo/ 10dpo

[Lookingforadvice15]

Is testing at 9/10 dpo really too early? This is the stage i am at, tested twice...both bfns, once today once yesterday.

I remember with dd i was at least 4 days before af when i got my bfp so i am feeling pretty much out..when i had high hopes this month.

Countdown to pregnancy site says 47% bfp by 9dpo and 66% by 10dpo.

Im feeling some symptoms but duno if im over spotting. Had tiny tinge of brown discharge today when i wiped, af due in four days.

Its meant to help with implantation apparently....

Seen a lot of people on here talking about it recently, will give it a bash.

I was using conceive plus because it was cheaper. Then decided to buy preseed as the first month i used this last time i conceived dd, no such luck this time round.

You're right about the thermometer :)

I was also taking seven seas - trying to conceive tablets for 2 mths, read that they mess with your cycles so i stopped and started taking your box standard folic acid....but i was thinking bout switching back to multi vits this month instead lol
Dont know whats right or wrong anymore. If you didnt laugh you'd cry!

@Lookingforadvice16 Thanks

I was looking at thermometers this morning but thought I’d hold off buying one just in case! Also looking at other vitamins that I’ve heard others talking about like agnus cactus and cassanovum. Will probably test every day until af as have two more tests to waste with my clear blue monitor :(

@Help201602 ive heard of agnus castus, i would i be careful with them. Ive heard they can effect hormone levels and your only meant to take them up til ovulation.

The witch has arrived!

Wine time tonight!

@glera aww no!
Onwards and upwards then.

Would love to hear how everyone gets on this month x

Aww I'm sorry to hear all the AF news girls! Really had my fx for you all. I'm sure next month is gonna be your month

My AF is due on Monday, had a few symptoms this week, sore back, sensitive nipples, very hormonal, feeling nauseous but I think it's just my body playing tricks this month.

Trying best to hold out until Monday to test but I know I probably won't have will power.
Can you test with opk?? Spied this earlier in post??xx

Aww think I'm out this month girls ☹️

Think AF just arrived 4 days early!! Gutted as had soo many positive symptoms over the past week!!

I ovulated earlier than normal too this month so I should have expected it!!

Oh well definitely having a glass of wine this weekend and next week on my birthday!!xx

Aww sorry to hear that! BabyHopeful2018.

Didnt even see your last post. You can use an opk as a pregnancy test but i wouldnt rely on it. Thats how my sister found out she was preggo with her 2nd.

What cycle will this be for you?

@babyhopeful2018

So sorry to hear your news. Maybe we should revisit this thread during our next TWW.

It's my 2nd cycle actively TTC for #1!!

Yes lets revisit in 3 weeks time...... fx for us all as May will be our month

L x

Agreed! PMA till then! 😊👍

Hello @Glera and @Lookingforadvice15 just wondering how you are getting on as I assume your on the TWW too?!

Past few month I've had symptoms but AF always came this month nothing so far so hoping that's a good sign xxx

@babyhopeful2018 I'm also in the TWW (6 DPO) and this time the last 2 months I was already feeling ratty and had sore boobs. Symptom spotting the absence of symptoms fingers crossed for you!

Hi all!
Here again so soon! Lol
I am on cd18, dtd last night, +opk and ov cramps today. That is now three months in a row ive got my +opk on cd18 so feel my body is kind of regulating. We will dtd again either tonight or tomorrow.

I have fingers crossed for everyone on this thread.

Dont know if any of you have read my other thread - When the universe kicks you right in the vagina....
Basically my sister just found out yesterday she is pregnant with her fourth..unplanned...missed her pill (once apparently) and shes pregnant. So im going to feel extra down this month if im out xx

Aww that's pants @Lookingforadvice15 but we are all here for each other!!

I've felt really down this month two as 6 of my friends all announced they are pregnant, obviously I'm happy for them but it does hurt!!

I think positive thoughts for us all over the next 2 weeks and hopefully we will all join in on the bfp news xxx

Hi @LP17 - welcome to our tww!!x

@babyhopeful2018 six friends in the one month!! Was there something in the water? 😂 I think i would have a meltdown if that happened.

I have bad anxiety and its playing up this month. Its getting worse as the months go on. Im really trying to stay positive and im so glad you.ve messaged back to this thread tonight. Looking forward to hearing how everyone gets on this month!

@LP17 fx for your lack of symptoms 😊🤞🤞

Well we are all here together @Lookingforadvice15 ☺️

I ovulate around day 12/13 in my cycle so thinking I'm about 3/4 dpo!! Gonna try my best not to pos or symptom spot this month and wait and see

Yes most definitely must have been something in the water - it's friends and friends of friends but I couldn't believe when they all announced it last week!!

I got married last September and ever since all I get is - are you not gonna have a baby soon - I want to scream in their face at times and say I'm trying!! I just say oh god it's not for me when it's hurting like hell inside, especially as some workmates/friends boast about it working first time xx

@babyhopeful2018 i can imagine that would be really hard but it will definately happen for you. Is this your third cycle?

That is the reason i havent told anyone outside of my family that we are trying. I dont want to be asked questions constantly. I still get it but....oh your DD will be going to school next year is it not time for another? When you thinking about having another then? I just want to scream!!

Yeah it's my 3rd cycle TCC..... I know it's not that long but it's been a long 90+ days for me xx

@babyhopeful @lookingforadvice We've been married just over a year and constantly get asked. Also for some reason all my friends seem to be super fertile and catch on the first go. I've taken it harder as we started trying at the same time we started work on our extension and neither are going well - but I've been so stressed the first 3 cycles it's no wonder nothing has happened so far. Feeling slightly more relaxed this month as I'm temping and that has confirmed that I have at least ovulated!

I its actually horrible how much we stress ourselves over this.
I went to my doctor this week because of how bad my anxiety is getting over this.

She said im only 5mths in and although that might seem a lot to me, its really not in the scheme of things.

She said you need to be having sex twice a week, every week. Also that sperm can live for 5-7 days. She said she has no concerns over my fertility. My cycles are regular, i bleed for a normal amount of days, im young(ish), ive already had a child etc. I also told her that i have been able to find my peak every month on using opks, plus i get ov pains. She is more than happy based on that that i will be ovulating. I did buy a thermometer this month but i havent used it...i felt like it would just get me more stressed ☹.
She said some people come into her office who have never had a positive opk, dont get ov pains and maybe only have a period once every 3mths....so in a way i am lucky! And im thankful for that. Need to take positives from stuff. She said they wouldnt even start looking into blood tests until i am more than a year down the line.

She said but that i really need to take better care of my mental health as my anxiety may be a direct result of why it hasnt happened yet.

@LP17 well done on catching you ovulation, that will hopefully put your mind at ease 😊

@LookingForAdvice15 it's awful isn't it. I'm miserable during the 2WW winding myself up symptom spotting. Having woken up today with sore boobs (a usual PMS symptom) at 7DPO, I'm now convinced I'll be getting a BFN when/if I test. Now that I know for sure that I ovulate (was only using IC OPKs that just detect LH so not a guarantee - have never had a BFP and don't have any DC yet) I feel much more relaxed, thanks to temping. I was worried like you that it would make me obsessive but it's helped me to feel more calm, for this month at least. Have suggested to DH that he could speak to his GP about a sperm function/mobility test - it is early days for us as it is you, but I just want to know. Then if everything is ok physically I will know it's just a matter of perseverance rather than needing extra help.

We are having an extension done at the same time and it really hasn't been going well - every time AF arrives I think "no wonder" because I'm so stressed about the house/getting pregnant/the house/getting pregnant blah blah just a big stupid cycle. We've debated putting off TTC as it was really bad last month but I can't cope with the idea that it could take us more than 12 months, even 2 years and if we wait that just makes it longer and longer........

@LP17 i feel your pain. The two week wait is so hard and just seems to be getting harder.

Last month i poas at 10dpo and it was bfn and i automatically ruled myself out because i know people say it can take till after youve missed af etc but the way i look at it is if its negative by this point im ruling myself out.

Doing a house extension while all of this is going on must be hard. There is no point in telling you to 'relax' lol. Thats another thing people keep saying to me but its hard when ive got anixety, its like someone telling you not to think about breathing, then thats all you can focus on, its the same when people tell you to relax and not think about ttc.
