6dpo anyone else - I’m going nuts!

[MummaMonk]

I’m 6dpo

And I’m totally symptom spotting....

Nose bleeds
Nightmares
Achey back/pelvis
Headaches
Tiredness

Ughhh and I know it’s all too early as implantation is unlikely. But I’m struggling. How do I distract myself ...
I was fine until this morning. Then the tww agony kicked in! Help!!!

Well I'm thoroughly depressed.

I think the tests I bought are dodgy. I swore I saw a vvvvvvvvvvvfl on my strip tests - yesterday it was super clear but still vvvvvfl, and today... but 2 other brands stark white.

Why do I do this to myself.

I've even had a bit of nausea over the last 12hours. Wishful thinking I think ☹️

I feel like I'm out already and 9dpo today 😭😭😭😭

I don't know how much longer I can take the disappointment!

@MummaMonk sorry to hear that :( I'm 8dpo and testing and still get a bit disappointed even though I know it'll be negative!

I don't know how people wait the whole two weeks!

It's a form of torture I swear! The temptation to test this morning is at an all time high!! I've woken up feeling sooo sick and cramps too. But the cramp feel too similar to period pains so I don't think it's a sign of anything good! Xx

@HalfPenny28 I don't know how anyone has the discipline I did with my son but only bc we were on holiday! And I had no access. But at 12dpo I made hubby trek into the next town to get one 🤣

I just don't know how much more I can take I convince myself every month ☹️

Arghhhh I feel all of your pain. I've had some very dull cramps yesterday and today on and off, whereas normally when AF arrived she arrives with a bang (and excruciating tearing out ovary pain, none of this dull ache nonsense) but again I feel like so much of this is wishful thinking 😭 my temp was up around 36.9 the last few days which is higher than normal but yesterday dropped to 36.75 and today 36.65, which although that's still well above my cover line (and in line with my usual luteal phase temp) I feel like can't be a good sign. Tomorrow is 13dpo and AF is due, so I think of my temp hasn't had a sharp drop I'm going to text in the morning. That's reasonable right???? 😭🤯 My hopeful heart says omg what if this is the month and my cynical gut says roll on cycle 12 ☹️

It's just so difficult! Trying my hardest not to get carried away. I've had my bfn but it was only 3dpo so I've convinced myself it was just too early and I'll get my bfp! 🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️ Xx

@Kliz92 3dpo is defo too early there's still hope! The time I miscarries, I used a FRER 3 days before AF was due and got a BFN but then 4 days later got a BFP with a normal Clear Blue test so I think you can never be sure until after AF due day has passed!

@Girlinglasses I'm sure af is coming today or tomorrow. I had cramps last week but there weren't like the ones I had last week. But there is always next month!!! Where I can do all this again 🤦🏻‍♀️😂 just trying to stay optimistic! Xx

@Kliz92 yes PMA for the win! AF after this one will be due on Christmas Eve - maybe we are destined to have Christmas miracles, who knows!

@Girlinglasses definitely!! Well I'm not due until next week but it's definitely going to come sooner! After this mine will be due the 31st of December so fingers crossed for next month for us!! Xx

@Kliz92 new year new baby??? 🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼

Let hope so! My first baby was born on Xmas day I don't want another Xmas baby! So conceiving at the beginning of the year would be just prefect!!! Xx

@Kliz92 same! My next period will be 29th dec after this and I'll be in Paris 😂 I don't know if I'll find the wait easier or harder!

We must almost be in sync?

So hubby isn't home from work for another hour or two and I bought a test to take for tomorrow morning but couldn't wait any longer and this happened... I can't quite believe it, I had to tell someone. I'm immediately terrified about miscarrying again 🙈

@Kliz92 implantation only happens at 5DPO onwards, and only after it happens that HCG is being produced, so don't get ahead of the process, wait a few days to test 
@HalfPenny28 I am in Paris right now, just arrived, hoping that city of loooove will do some magic and darken that faint line for me... so hope that this bean sticks!

@Girlinglasses omg!!! That's a very prominent line! Congratulations!

@Girlinglasses omg congratulations!! So pleased for you 🥰 what a wonderful Christmas present! I'm so so hoping I get a positive this month.

How many dpo were you when you tested?

@SunnyFlover are you! What an amazing story to conceive in Paris! Haha sending you lots of luck 💕

Having the biggest gin and tonic if it's negative this month!

How long has everyone been trying out of curiosity?

Did an ultra early clear blue this afternoon... Negative but possibly too early to test, will use the other one tomorrow or Thursday morning as they recommend an am test... OH (other half) well ...... Its only month 1 of ttc for me

Congratulations @Girlinglasses!!!

Thank you so much ladies!! I don't quite believe it. I came off the pill in November last year but we have been actively trying since January 1st. I stupidly assumed it would be a quick process 🙈 what about the rest of you? And is it your first?

@HalfPenny28 thank you 😊🌻
We have been trying for a second month. I came off contraception 3 months ago. Last month had a chemical pregnancy ( positive tests, but the bean didn't stick..). Using Flo app as well ask OPK testing to track my fertile window. 9DPO now and had a faint positive 2 days ago, scared to test again, as I am so afraid to get my hopes up in case it's a chemical again...

Congratulation a @Girlinglasses how many dpo that's super super clear. 🤞🏻 for a sticky little bean for you!!!! Xx

@MummaMonk @HalfPenny28 12 dpo, that was an early detention test but not with FMU so I feel like that's a good sign. Also followed up with a digital and it says 1-2 weeks!

Hubby still not home so cooking spaghetti bolognese to stop myself from going utterly mad 🙈

@Girlinglasses totally a good sign! Oh I'm so excited for you! I can't wait for that moment!

Sorry to ask a million questions but have you tested before today or is this the first one this cycle?

@HalfPenny28 ask as many questions as you like! This was my first test this cycle- I had gotten into the habit of testing from about 8dpo and driving myself absolutely mad with hope and disappointment so I promised myself this time I'd wait until after AF was due. I almost made it 😂 i peed about 4x more than usual today though so I just couldn't wait any longer

@HalfPenny28 really sending all of my hope your way, I thought this day would never come so I know how you feel ❤️
