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.

Well as expected I'm out this month as AF showed up!!

Got excited on Sunday as I had a little red spotting when I wiped and again on Monday and thought maybe implantation?!

But not meant to be... AF showed up today however very light but it's def here!!

Think I'm gonna stop TTC for a while and focus on something else, do a online course or something or sit more exams at work!! Don't think I can deal with the low/gutted feeling every month for a bit!!

I'm soo happy for you though @Lookingforadvice15 and I wish you a happy healthy pregnancy 🤰💐 xxx

Honestly thank you both so much. This thread helped me a lot in the last month, just messaging you guys and updates on what was happening.

I have my fingers tightly crossed that it happens for you all really soon! Would love to hear any future updates from you ladies xxx

So pleased for you again. Did you have any symptoms at all? So glad the thread helped - it’s been easier following everyone’s story with just a few people.

I’m on 9dpo and no symptoms either way really. Had an incredibly stuffy nose / toothache / sinus ache but I put that down to bragging to my husband the other day that I haven’t been I’ll since I’ve taken my vitamins.

How are you ladies feeling? @babyhopeful218, sorry Aunt Flo showed up. She’s a butch isn’t she? @lp17, did it arrive for you too? They say bad news comes in threes, maybe it’ll my turn come Sunday.

I’ll keep you posted.

I was peeing constantly. I have back pain most days anyway but its been worse. I didnt get my normal pmt or chocolate craving the week before af due. I cant even look at a bit of chocolate still. Boobs slightly heavier but not sore.

I will also let u know what i did this month..i went to yoga and tried to chill but this was without doubt my most stressful month yet. I drank grapefruit juice to increase cm, dont know if it particularly worked.
I took epo tabs up till ovulation.
I dtd cycle day 14, 17 & 19 with a positive ovulation test on cd 18.
Cd 17 used preseed.
Ate pineapple core from dpo1 to dpo 5
I didnt take a multivit just folic acid.

Dont know if any of that is helpful but i dont mind sharing.

Oh no - you’re off chocolate? That’s never a good thing!

Sounds like you did a lot this month that may have helped. So pleased it worked out for you.

I took a 6 day early clearhlie test this morning (11dpo) but it was negative. Kind of had my hopes up after you got yours but saying that, I’ve really not had symptoms like peeing lots. I had wondered whether the sinus problem and toothache was a sign, a headache yesterday but I think it’s all too vague and probably just a normal response to hormones. Will keep you updated either way.

Morning ladies
Hope your all well.

Thanks for update on what you done last month @Lookingforadvice15 will remember that for next time we try!! ☺️

Any of you ever had a really strange AF?! It's been soo unbelievably light?! (Sorry tmi coming) but on Sunday I had a tiny wee amount of light red blood on toilet paper when I wiped once, Monday the same but this time a bit darker, Tuesday & Wednesday I only had blood when I went to toilet or wiped (every time). But the whole time I've had nothing on underwear or pads only when I go to toilet and wipe?!xx

@Glera yes a day early - earlier than last month even (cycle is now 26 days). I'm just temping this month I don't want to do OPKs. The next time I POAS I want it to be because I strongly suspect I'll get a BFP rather than hoping it's not a BFN, if that makes any sense?

Taking it easy this month - building work remains a nightmare - that said, not living there is definitely having a positive impact on my mental health. Currently staying with in-laws so having to make plans to DTD elsewhere. DH has started going to the gym and now that we have proper cooking facilities at our disposal our diets should improve. It was my birthday this week so have had a nice time eating cake and had a few drinks too. Got a few yoga classes booked (glad to see this has had a positive impact for @LookingForAdvice15 anyway!) This week has also seen the arrival of 2 friends babies - one quite early and one late, so will busy myself celebrating their arrival and hope a bit of baby dust rubs off.

@babyhopeful2018 I can't remember how many cycles you are/off birth control? It might be a funny AF or it might be implantation? Usually, only 24 hours (apparently) but have read elsewhere that it can last longer. Have you checked your cervix?

@LP17 it was my 3rd cycle TTC and came off pill end of Feb!!

I'm thinking it might be a funny AF just as I think I've been bleeding way too much for it to be implantation!! Also my temps dropped every day since Saturday so def is AF

I'm with you just temping this month and not buying any ov or pregnancy sticks until I'm sure!!xx

@babyhopeful2018 ahh I'm sorry it's the worst having something 'unusual' happen that gets your hopes up isn't it. I had my coil removed at the start of December and started actively TTC in Feb

We are almost tempted to stop trying because of the stress of the extension but then feel like we might just get lucky one month. I haven't had a consistent cycle since having my coil removed. DH has luckily taken the tests & hidden them away from me so I can't take any unless I want to go and buy some.

Hey ladies. Hope you’re okay. I guess you’re onto your next month TTC by now ... fingers crossed for you both (and any newcomers that may join).

I’m on 13dpo now and have resisted doing anymore tests. The witch is due on Monday but I’m hoping that she doesn’t crash the party.

@lookingforadvice15 how are you feeling?

Fingers crossed for you @Glera xx

Oops. Couldn’t resist. BFN with a tesco cheapy so having guilt free fizz tonight.

@glera sorry to hear bout your bfn 🙁

I doing ok, im tried but have also been waking up at 4-5 and then cant get back to sleep 🙁

I’m out. See you next month ladies :) feeling disappointed but chilled about it too.

@lookingforadvice15 make sure you keep rested and be good to yourself :) will be thinking of you.

@Glera @LP17 yes let's revisit in 3 weeks ☺️

@Lookingforadvice15 hope your doing well. Rest well and enjoy the next few months of pregnancy xxx

Thanks girls. Im doing good 😘

Fx for next month 🤞🤞🤞 xx

Hello @Glera @LP17
Just wondering where in your cycles you are?! I'm 8 dpo (going by my bbt chart). I know I said I wasn't going to chart etc but couldn't help myself 🙈.

Tried some of @Lookingforadvice15 tips this month. (Grapefruit juice pre ov and pineapple core post ov for 5 days)

Trying not to get hopes up or anything but just had a dip in my chart at 7dpo and another spike today?!

@Lookingforadvice15 how are you getting on?! 🤰 xx

@babyhopeful2018 I'm 12DPO today. My temp chart has been totally different to last month so that's been interesting! If no AF I'll test on Thurs.

Your dip-spike combo sounds good! Fingers crossed xxx

Fertility friend is telling me not to test until 15th but don't think ill can wait that long @LP17 but tbh I would know if I were out by then as AF due 10th.

The TWW is always the longest xxx

@babyhopeful2018 hang in there - tests are expensive!

How's everyone else doing?? I'm 13DPO and been feeling a bit funny. I've had no spotting at all yet which usually starts at 10DPO so I'm really really hoping for a BFP this week - or at least to know my cycles have finally settled down after having my coil removed!

Hi, can I join please? I am currently 8dpo and trying my hardest not to test 😂 I know it’s too early but it really takes over doesn’t it?!

So I couldn't wait and done a IC this morning and look what happened...., 🤗🤗!!

I'm not getting my hopes up just yet - definitely gonna wait until Monday and do a clear blue or first response to confirm xx

@babyhopeful2018 and @lp17
Hey ladies, just to say I am here. First log in for a few weeks. I’m at 13dpo I think, not doing any ovulation sticks this month as I became far too obsessive over doing the deed.

More importantly...you ladies thinking all is looking positive? That’s amazing news. Have everything crossed for you both!!!
I wish my cycle wasn’t so long (34days) as I feel more out of touch with you all every month.

Good luck, good luck, good luck!

@anyday88
Great to meet you, we’ve been here for a couple of cycles. 1/4 has had a bfp so far - good luck to you!

Thanks @Glera and welcome @Anyday88

Ordered a clear blue digital and a FRER which should arrive tomorrow so hopefully that will confirm?!

Baby dust to you all ✨✨ xxx
