Anyone around 9 dpo?

[lavenderlove]

Hi wondering if anyone is around 9dpo and wants to join me for the agonising wait? I'm trying to hold off from testing until at least 12dpo but it's so hard! I've never obsessed over something so much and I'm only on my 2nd cycle

Not necessarily @veeboo, there's time and cramping can be a symptom too.

Yesterday, I was convinced AF was knocking on the door. She's due today but both spotting and cramping have calmed right down, which is unusual. I'm also feeling a bit sick, which could just be nerves about it all, but I'm allowing myself a final moment of hope!

Thanks for your optimism @chaosmoon. It feels very af like though...persistent and achy. I'm sure this is sent to test our resilience!

I can see a faint line on the bottom one @spottypyjamas have you retested yet? I think any hint of a line is promising because I've taken a few of those same tests and they are always completely blank

Ooh glad af hasn't turned up for you @ChaosMoon have you tested today? Hopefully it isn't Af @veeboo, I'm due Saturday but I never get af cramps before I'm due on. I have been SO moody and irritable today though and which normally happens just before she arrives

I just did @lavenderlove. Frer and ic and both negative. So of course now I wish I'd waited (always the way right?!).
I've only had a cup of coffee and waited 5 hours to wee (I was desperate!) So I thought that would have been enough.
So annoyed with myself for getting my hopes up, but I really could see a line and I stare at A LOT of these tests.
I guess I'll see what the morning brings but ongoing cramps so feeling less and less positive as time goes on.

@spottypijamas not out until af shows up xx

Thanks @lavenderlove! I haven't. I feel like testing is a slippery slope. ICs are a gateway to FRERs!

I will in the morning if she still hasn't shown though. I'll be a day late then, so it feels like safer territory.

Sorry about the bfn @spottypyjamas. You're still not out though. When is af actually due? The closer you leave it the more accurate the results will be. And the less stress you'll put yourself through.

Evening ladies. I'm loosing track of where everyone is at. This has turned Into really active thread which is great but I can't keep up

Is anyone close to AF being due but still getting a BFN?

I'm due Tuesday, I'm currently 10dpo 10dpIUI. My boobs are very sore/tender and have been for a few days. A little swollen too. Although I did have a HCG trigger 2 days prior to IUI so 12 days ago and I know that can cause "symptoms". Had a 5000 dose so it should have left my system after a week.
Hoping the sore boobs are a good sign and not a delayed response to the trigger

I've had a few little aches on and off , a bit of cramping on Tuesday. I don't feel as though AF is coming ...yet.

The last 2 cycles I've had pre AF aches and that "full feeling"(anyone else get that??) For a good week before AF came. Im thinking probs always been that way but haven't really noticed as I wasn't really paying attention till ttc.

So I'm feeling really positive at the moment that this could be the month. Only time will tell!

I enjoy hearing what everyone else is feeling so hope you don't mind my long post!

Xxx

I'm glad you're feeling so positive @2mummie5 😊 Certainly anything that feels different is a good sign. It would be extremely late to be the HCG trigger. This is exciting!

I've got everything crossed. I hope these last few days before we can take a test go by quickly. We have a few things planned to keep busy so that should help!

I hope you get the result you want in the morning @chaosmoon xxx

Sòooo.. in bed , other half sleeping soundly.. me however, 4 dpo driving myself mad.. thinking is it too early to test lol (I know it is) but this is 3rd month ttc and I'm so impatient.. good luck to you all I know the struggle xx

@spottypyjamas see what the morning brings. It's still early days so you may need FMU to pick up the hormones

Really hope this is your month @2mummie5 and glad you're feeling positive! Are you waiting until Tuesday to test? I'm due af on Saturday and my boobs are so bloody sore today and I'm really bloated, so it could be that she is on her way. Will probably crack and test tomorrow morning because I know what I'm like!

@Thethreeandme hope it's third time lucky for you! What dpo are you planning on testing?

@lavenderlove thank you... Yes I'm going to wait till Tuesday. On our first IUI I tested early and ended up testing for 3 days until AF arrived. Just ended up getting more crazy and I was still convincing my self the test was wrong. I know it was me being stupid but this time we will just wait.

On the 2nd IUI AF came 5 days early and at first I thought it was an IB. Never ended up testing that month as it was clearly wasn't needed. My leutal phase was just 9 days that month which is totally not the norm for me! I've been 28days on the clock since I was 11 (now 33) !

I have an IC a FRER and a CB digi sat in the cupboard so the urge to test is strong

I've used IC a couple if times post trigger to test out my trigger. It's day gone (neg about 4 days ago) so no chance of a false positive.

I'm sorry you are feeling like you are out for this month. I hope you aren't and I keep crossing my fingers for you

@spottypyjamas hope the morning test brings you a BFP

@Thethreeandme is this your first time ttc? When are you due to test? The 2ww is so long isn't it! Xx

@lavenderlove I'd like to say at least 9 but I know in my heart of hearts ill prob make it to 5 😂 it's such an agonising wait isn t it! Looking out for any sign! Xx

@2mummie5 I have 3 children already they are 4 6 and 10 and 2 mmc in between those. We've been trying for what seems like ages but it's only 3rd month. I was certain I got implantation bleed last month but no.. af soon followed.. how about you? Xx

Bfns here :( and I can still see that bloody 2nd line on yesterday's test but it must be some sort of error. The fun and games of early testing. Af due Sunday so just want it out of the way now.

Hope you have better luck if testing @chaosmoon x

@Thethreeandme that's lovely that you have 3. I hope you get number 4 soon..once you decide to try the days just slow down don't they! Hope you can hold out as long as possible to test.

We have a 5yo already, my wife carried him. Same donor. She has PCOS and conceived 1st time with IUI which made the pill harder to swallow when it failed 1st and 2nd time for me

Fingers crossed 3rd time lucky for us. Otherwise we will have to move to IVF and we don't have the funds for it yet. Xx

How are you feeling @spottypyjamas ? Do you think AF is on her way? It could still be too early though. what kind of test did you use? Xx

Oh @2mummie5 how difficult for you. This is where threads like this are so nice for everyone. I really wish you the best of luck. My 3 children are by a previous relationship me and my partner have been together some time now and things are in a place we are ready so although there's no rush as such I'm 32 so you know.. but I think regardless on what stage in life , once you set your heart on it you want it to happen asap!
Fingers crossed come Tuesday you'll be over the moon xx

I'm 8dpo and going mad. I have resisted testing this morning and hopefully waiting til Sunday which will be 10dpo. AF due Thursday. Good luck to everyone testing! Fingers crossed!

I got my BFP this morning!
I'm so excited I can't really think straight. Going to have to re-read everything later.

I hope you're all ok. I was so sure I was out the other day - you just never know, so don't lose faith!

Congratulations @Chaosmoon 💐💐
This seems to be a very very lucky thread, I am so excited for you all!!

Congratulations @chaosmoon you must be thrilled!
Where abouts are you in your cycle today and brand test did you use?? Xx
