Anyone want to join me with the wait?
First period I have had in 4 years of ttc (pcos) and I ovulated day 58 - now 8DPO :)

i should have been 8dpo today but FF moved my crosshairs so im only 6DPO! How have you been feeling? Any symptoms? Smile

Pinkroseuk · 21/11/2019 20:01

Hi @blackpinkinyourarea I'm feeling okay thanks - had sore boobs and quite an ache in low stomach area. Other than that nothing really. How r u feeling?
I'm desperate to test but also don't want to test too early!

I’m 8dpo too. Although I don’t believe in symptom spotting too early, in my opinion you can only get symptoms once you have hcg in your system, and that only happens after implantation, and once you have hcg you can test with one of the early response tests... don’t stress yourself out trying to spit symptoms they probably don’t mean anything. When do you think you’ll test? I’m tempted to tomorrow! But going to hold out til the weekend if I can Bear

blackpinkinyourarea · 21/11/2019 20:43

@pinkroseuk im feeling ok too thank you! Definitely no symptoms so far though. I keep checking for implantation bleeding everytime i go to the loo.. :/!
Your symptoms sound quite promising for 8dpo so fingers crossed for you! sore boobs is something i look out for as i never get them with AF, so if i suddenly developed it during the tww it would really get my hopes up for a bfp.
@twinklestars15 i know i shouldnt symptom spot but its soo hard to not analyse every twinge haha. I will test on monday which is 10dpo, with a frer.

Pinkroseuk · 21/11/2019 20:47

Hi @TwinkleStars15 no I know symptoms will only really start later. I was going to try and test on Sunday but don't know whether to hold out longer?
Yes I do that too @blackpinkinyourarea - when do u think u will test? I hope so- hubby is more hopeful than me atm! I kinda don't want to tell him if it is positive till the doctors have confirmed though!

TwinkleStars15 · 21/11/2019 20:49

@Pinkroseuk yes it absolutely is! I do know the feeling, but I just keep reminding myself that symptoms are caused by hcg, and if there’s enough hcg to cause symptoms then you’ll likely get a positive test... Smile

TwinkleStars15 · 21/11/2019 20:51

Sorry that message was for @blackpinkinyourarea Blush

@Pinkroseuk I’m not sure I’ll hold out til Sunday! Not helped by the fact that I have a load of cheapie tests upstairs, although it’s far too earlier in reality....

LoveRainbow02 · 21/11/2019 20:51

I'm 7dpo and ttc no2. Had an early mc beginning of last month whilst on the pill so decided to start ttc this month. Already symptom spotting and driving myself crazy!

Pinkroseuk · 21/11/2019 20:55

@TwinkleStars15 I have no tests in at the moment so need to grab some at the weekend! Was going to wait till we're back from friends weekend after next but I can't wait that long!

Welcome @LoveRainbow02 - fingers crossed for you. How r u feeling?

LoveRainbow02 · 21/11/2019 21:15

@Pinkroseuk I'm feeling ok. Crampy the last couple of days and sore boobs on and off. With all 3 of my pregnancies (2 mc) I've got bfp's at 8dpo twice and 10dpo once so the urge to poas is strong lol!

TwinkleStars15 · 22/11/2019 07:38

Bfn today but it’s still really early Blush

LoveRainbow02 · 22/11/2019 10:14

@Twinklestars15 How many dpo are you? Always rubbish seeing a bfn 😔

LeeleeD88 · 22/11/2019 12:49

I'm 10dpo today slightly crampy. The smell of bacon put my off today.

On 8dpo, I had cramping pretty bad, nausea, extreme fatigue (I took 2 naps damn it!) And spotting pinky/brown in the evening.

In 9dpo same really, except no naps as I was working so tough luck.

I don't know what any of this means. I did have a strop/temper tantrum/melt down/whatever you want to call it on Sunday (6dpo) as I found out a further 2 women in my family (so currently 3 total) are pregnant and due all in may. It threw me over the edge and I may have said some nasty things to my DH, about finding my life disappointing and unfulfilling, which upset him and I'm not sure was that the point. Anyway that's all waffle. If I actually am pregnant, I would be shocked, and may explain the extreme reaction I had on Sunday.

TwinkleStars15 · 22/11/2019 17:13

@LoveRainbow02 I’m either 8 or 9 dpo I think

LoveRainbow02 · 22/11/2019 17:28

@Twinklestars15 we can be tww buddies as I'm also 8dpo 😊

TwinkleStars15 · 23/11/2019 11:09

@LoveRainbow02 when are you going to test? We only dtd once so chances aren’t great to be honest, and it was 2 days before Ov x

LoveRainbow02 · 23/11/2019 11:14

@TwinkleStars15 I caved and tested yesterday and this morning and have convinced myself I see a shadow of a line 😂😂. Had to squint and tilt and adjust brightness on my phone to see what I thought I saw though 😂. I'm on the brink of complete insanity!

Dont rule yourself out. I conceived in September whilst on the pill and only had sex once!

Anyone else 8DPO?
TwinkleStars15 · 23/11/2019 14:27

@LoveRainbow02 hmm I can’t see anything but it’s always easier in real life. Do another one tomorrow morning and you should be able to see the difference. I did the same this morning, until I realised I was trying to see something that wasn’t there! Blush

LoveRainbow02 · 23/11/2019 14:37

It's more shadow like tbh. This ttc malarkey is tough business!

Pinkroseuk · 23/11/2019 19:52

I don't know whether to test tomorrow or wait till Wednesday(two weeks) ?
Only got one test in the house atm too!
Is anyone temp tracking? Mines still going up!

OP posts:
LoveRainbow02 · 24/11/2019 08:05

@Pinkroseuk when are you due af/bfp? I dont temp as I have a toddler that still wakes a few times a night so I wouldnt get accurate readings.

Pinkroseuk · 24/11/2019 08:14

@LoveRainbow02 Wednesday would be two weeks since ovulation but it's the first cycle I have had naturally in 4 years so not sure when af is due. Tested this morning and negative :/

OP posts:
LoveRainbow02 · 24/11/2019 09:36

It's so disheartening seeing negative tests but as they say you arent out until af shows and I know people that haven't shown as pregnant on tests until they are around 6 weeks! I have 2 apps I use and 1 is telling me I'm not due on until the 4th and the other is saying the 29th. By my calculations and when ovulation occured I should be due on the 28th. I tested again this morning and still feel like I can see a shadow outline. Damn those ic tests 😂😂!

Anyone else 8DPO?
TwinkleStars15 · 26/11/2019 12:05

Any update @LoveRainbow02?

I tested this morning fully expecting a bfn as I’ve been getting then since 8dpo. Glanced, saw nothing so put it down but went back 4 hours later and saw this. Don’t know what to think really Hmm

Anyone else 8DPO?
TwinkleStars15 · 26/11/2019 12:07

I then did another one as I thought it was an evap. I don’t know if you can see it but I think there might be a really faint line... it was after holding my wee for 4 hours.

Anyone else 8DPO?
