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.

Hello ladies.

I agree...feels like we’re back too soon! I’ve strabgely been looking forward to the time when I could join you ladies back in the thread.

@lp17 sounds like life is currently stressful for you. That’s rubbish! I hope the extension works more smoothly moving forwards.

@lookingforadvice I am sorry your anxiety is worse this month. Perhaps your hormones are in turmoil.

Since we last spoke, I’ve known three people declare their pregnancy. It hurts so much and then I feel such guilt for not just being genuinely happy for them.

I think that my ovulation day is tomorrow (day 20 of a 34 day cycle) so I think I will be a bit behind you all.

Keeping everything but my legs crossed this month.

[Lookingforadvice15]

Hey @glera. Good to hear from you! Fx crossed for you this month.

I have woken up with a uti this morning and its so painful 😳 trying to drink plenty. Hopefully flush it out.

[LP17]

@lookingforadvice15 @glera I've been away for the weekend with friends. One of whom is clearly pregnant but must be too early to want to tell people. Trying to be happy for her but everything else isn't going well either so just feeling very, very sorry for myself.

Got home to my husband and our stupid extension and burst into tears. I think I need to have a proper holiday!

How have your bank holidays been?? Lovely weather here!

[Lookingforadvice15]

Hey @lp17, hope you had a great time with your friends. Sorry you had to come home to your extension dramas again!

I spent my morning in a&e with this uti! Cause the docs were shut due to the bank holiday and i literally felt like i was peeing glass! Nearly through the roof everytime i went to the toilet. Was there for 2hours just to be told to keep drinking plenty as they didnt really want to give me an antibiotic. Could have cried. Just hope it doesnt mess with anything this month.

Also quick question for any of u ladies who have came off the pill. Has anyone had a really bad outbreak of spots since stopping. We're 5mths in and ive almost got acne type spots on my back and chest, its horrible and getting me so down, especially with summer coming in 😔😔. Feel like im falling to bits. Doctor says its normal but ive been reading there about low progestrone...not really sure how u would know if you have this or not without a blood test and the doc has refused this until ttc for over a year.

[babyhopeful2018]

@Lookingforadvice15 I've had this problem too!! My doc has prescribed me a gel (unsure of the name at the mo) as the pills I was on a few years back aren't good if TTC as it could affect bone development!!

It's w vicious circle..... TTC = stress, stress = spots, spots = stress and stress affects TTC ☹️

I'm 7/8 dpo now according to opk but 5/7 according to Flo..... really don't know how I'm going to last until next week to test 🙈 but gonna try my best to wait until AF is due xx

[Glera]

@lookingforadvice15
That is not sounding good at all. Hope your UTI clears up very soon. It also sounds like your body is still adjusting to coming off the pill. Were spots an issue when you went on it? When I came off in dec my most notable symptom was horrendously painful periods but for the past two cycles that’s died down. I know you’re about 5 months in, like me but just keep looking after yourself.

@babyhopeful18 good luck! I’ve learnt now just to wait until AF is due. I know it’s hard as so many people say they get a bfp like a week early but also, so many get them after AF.

@lp17 I hope your weekend away was good. How are you feeling now? We’re in the process of looking for a new house to buy and may need to extend/knock through. Your post is putting me off slightly.

[babyhopeful2018]

Morning @Lookingforadvice15 @Lookingforadvice15 @LP17

How are all you lovely ladies today?!

I've just under a week to go until AF arrives and it's strange this month I've had no symptoms at all ☹️

For the last 2 cycles I had loads of them and made me soo sure it had happened then boom AF appeared!!

I'm just hoping that with no symptoms it might mean something!xx

[LP17]

@glera It was nice, just tiring and obviously had complicated feelings re: friend being pregnant. Finally seeing a bit of progress with extension so that's something. If you can find a decent builder you'll be ok - it's just finding one who will actually do what they say

@babyhopeful2018 you never know! I've learned that I start spotting from about 10 DPO for 5 days (ish) before AF arrives and that means I'm out - my temp has dropped again today to cover line.

Wondering if we should just stop TTC until extension is finished because my stress levels are a joke...

[babyhopeful2018]

@LP17
If it's meant to be it will be, I've everything crossed for you. I can imagine it being a stressful time for you but when you get a BFP it'll be worth all the stress ☺️

I've just starting taking temps...... just over a week now and I noticed a big dip yesterday (usually around 36.8ish then yesterday down to 36.6 and today 36.9) I don't know if it's really a big dip or just me trying to look for implantation dips 🙈 xxx

[Lookingforadvice15]

Hey ladies,
How we all doing? What dpo is everyone at? Hope you are all good x

[babyhopeful2018]

Hey @Lookingforadvice15 how are you getting on?

I'm at 11 dpo ☺️

I done a ic yesterday as I just wanted to do something but as expected it'll was BFN!! Was too early to do a test really!!

I've had a very bloated stomach all day and back pain so suppose that's something but hey could also be me setting up for AF?!

I'll keep positive though..... bought a FRER to do on Monday when AF I think is due xxx

[Lookingforadvice15]

@babyhopeful2018 sorry about your bfn, as you say it aint over till the witch appears.

Im either 7/8 dpo, af due on thurs but will probably test before then. Im not really feeling anything tbh 🤷‍♀️. Trying not to symptom spot but as it has made me worse in previous months when af has shown up.

[babyhopeful2018]

Yeah definitely that's the way I'm looking at it.... I've had no symptoms at all this month until today!! But it's just all normal pre AF things (however I'm TTC #1 so don't know any different)

I've got friends coming over tonight and I'm unsure whether or not to have a drink 🙈 Thinkinh surely a small glass of wine (I'll be pouring so stick to one) or a small cider wouldn't do any harm?!

But then if I were to be pregnant and anything happened would I hate myself for it?! Do I just have a Diet Coke and pass it off for vodka and Diet Coke 🙈 xx

[Lookingforadvice15]

I say do it! Live your life. Ttc should work around our lives, not the other way around.

Im having a quiet night in with dp tonight as im working tomorrow 😔, im also loaded with the cold 😔😔.

We.re having wine, soft cheese, cured meat, the works! And i cant wait!

Back in 2013 before i found out i was pregnant with my dd i was out on my work xmas night out, drinking, partying, back to a house party, hardly any sleep. Following i found out i was pregnant. Hard practically no symptoms.

[Glera]

Hey ladies.

I’m on 5dpo today so definitely behind you all.

@babyhopeful2018 is a FRER a first response one? Pink packaging?
I feel like I’ve used so many different tests I don’t actually know which are the best.

Definitely agree with you @lookingforadvice15 eat and drink what you want. Our first month TTC I went T-Total (after Nee Years Eve). I do drink less during the TWW but life is too short not to drink good wine. And kudos on the cured meats ... will miss those if we do get a BFP. probably will still eat them. I’ll miss rare steak too!

[Lookingforadvice15]

Hey ladies.
So this happened!

[Lookingforadvice15]

@babyhopeful2018 @glera @lp17

[babyhopeful2018]

OMG @Lookingforadvice15 massive congratulations ☺️☺️☺️ xxx

[Lookingforadvice15]

Thank you so much xx I think im 10dpo. Used an Asda test on the the off chance this morning and it had a faint line. Held my wee and sprung for a frer. Was shocked the line was as clear.

[babyhopeful2018]

Aww that's amazing news @Lookingforadvice15

Think I may test tomorrow morning as I'll be cd26 and I got AF day 25 last two cycles!! (Was 28 days regular every month before)

So hoping to join you xxx

[Lookingforadvice15]

@babyhopeful2018 thank you so much. Would be amazing if you did. Keep me posted xxx

[babyhopeful2018]

I do think I'm out this month though.....

I've had major cramps etc like I get before AF arrives and it's the fact I'm due on tomorrow doesn't look that promising!!

But as they say it's not over until she arrives!!

I don't think I'm gonna temp or test for ov next time though..... just wait and see as it causes too much stress!!

I've came to the conclusion if it's meant to be it'll be xx

[Glera]

@Lookingforadvice15 That’s amazing news!
So so pleased for you and your partner. Sorry I’ve only just seen it.

Has it sunk in yet?

🥂🥂🥂 (non-alcoholic for you)

[Lookingforadvice15]

Hi @glera, thanks very much.
definately not sunk in yet, not even a little xx

[LP17]

@LookingForAdvice15 congratulations! I'm out for this month. FW approaching think I'm just going to temp and take things at a more relaxed pace. Also, currently living with ILs so there's that....
