9dpo and negative test

[Marshmallow1992]

I wondered if anyone else would like to share their experience with me! I am 9dpo and took a test this morning and it was BFN. Is this way too early to test? I see lots of people getting BFP at 9dpo and wondered if there should definitely be even the faintest line? I’m so impatient and the wait is killing me. I tested using the FR 6 days earlier test so really if going by that, I should have shown positive as AF is due on Friday. I’d love to hear other people’s experiences as I feel I can’t really speak to any of my friends as they all conceived first month of trying and wouldn’t understand. We are on our third cycle of TTC and I know this isn’t long at all.
Thanks in advance xx

I think it's a BFN but is it a faulty test?!

Sorry to jump in and post without introducing myself. I'm currently 10dpo and just had this test. The dye is running so not sure whether it's faulty or not!

@MrsAW2018 I’m really not sure, can’t really see a 2nd line! Try FRER everyone on here seems so have a lot of success with them!

@Martina2311 you definitely have to keep me updated! I’ll live my dream through you until it’s my turn!

That’s crazy how your sense of smell just completely changes.

We’re having a quiet christmas. I’m due to ovulate 17th I’m much better and luckily OH has a great sex drive! After the new year I’m going to change everything and be more healthy, start pre-conception vitamins etc and maybe some pre-seed lube too 🙈

What’s your Christmas plans? Have you told many people yet? X

@Martina2311 I’ve also been reading that grapefruit juice 🤢 and decaf green tea help with CM so I’ll give that a bash too! X

Hi @MrsAW2018! I would say its not fault, when the control line is well visible. When did you take the photo? Sometimes it takes time for the ink to "settle"? 10 DPO is still quite early so try tresting again :)

@MrsMcNtobe glad that you are feeling much better so you can enjoy your Christmas time and then be ready and refreshed for the new year. Its good That you are sleeping motivated, positive and have plans! By the pre conception vitamins, do you mean the Pregnacare conception? I havent fried those but think I've seen they are for woman and men too. I was eating only the folic acid about 1,5 months before, now continuing with Pregnacare plus. Last pregnancy i had a trouble swallowing them, they kept making me sick lol but this time its ok. I've heared a really good feedback on the pre seed so good luck with that!! I would also recommend the Evening Primrose oil tablets. I used them with the last cycle and I did notice increase in the fertile cm. You take one daily before your ovulation. Then you stop.
With the smells, Im not 100% sure. I did notice it irritates me more recently when someone smokes near me or when I smell a petrol and this type of smells. But then again its cole outside so the air is fresher and maybe thats why its more intense.
We are staying in the Uk this year. Sending 2 days with our close friends and 2 days with my partners sister and her family. We have told a few close friends and family but not all. Mainly the ones who we would want to go through it together even if things dont go well. We were planning to tell our friends over Christmas but I dont think I will get my blood tests before that so not sure yet. Seams like they usually schedule the first appointment around 8-9 weeks so Im guessing mine will be the first week of January with a scan on January 2nd.

Omg sorry for all the typos. Writing on my phone 🙈

@Martina2311 yeah I’ve saw people using Pregnacare and Seven Seas but Pregnacare seems to get the better reviews! With the Evening Primrose Oil did you just take during fertile week or from CD1 until ovulation? I don’t have any OPKs this month I’m still slightly overthinking but nowhere near as stressed as the last few months. I just keep telling myself to enjoy the last few weeks of the year. I’m not much of a drinker but I’m going to force myself to have one or two and join in with everyone else.

Hopefully you hear about dates for bloods etc then it’s something to look forward to! Is your OH over the moon? X

Hello @MrsMcNtobe! Hope you are doing well! It's good you have this attitude, enjoy the festive time and after the new year, get right into it :) I will be missing my Bayleys coffee over the Christmas time! 🤐
Yes, you take the evening primrose oil from your period until you ovulate. I actually started eating it a bit later than CD1...think maybe week or so later but the main thing is that you stop at ovulation. Are you tracking your temps as well? It helped me to confirm that the ovulation actually happened as the Opks were sometimes positive and then the body tried again in a week time or so. Along the Opks I also used the Clear Blue ovulation predictor as that gives you more advanced notice of your fertile period compared to Opks.
DH is really happy and so is my son but I guess we will relax more once after first scan. I had a terrible nightmare today that I miscarried, that I started bleeding at work :( It woke me up and I was so disturbed by it, I couldn't sleep for another 3 hours. :(

@Martina2311 I will definitely buy evening primrose oil for next cycle (not getting my hopes up this month!). I haven’t tracked temps but that’s something I’ll start doing from next month!

Was due to ovulate 17th/18th but I have a tiny bit of discomfort on my left side so wonder if it’s happening today, less CM just a tiny bit of thick sort of tacky clear stuff 🤢 typical didn’t DTD last night as we were out for dinner and OH is at the football tonight so might need to stay up late to fit it in!

There’s nothing worse than your mind playing tricks on you, try to stay relaxed and imagine what Christmas next year will be like with a new baby! 😍

Hey @MrsMcNtobe !! How are you doing girl?
