9 DPO

[Sarah3956]

Hi! I’m new here. I’ve read what seems like hundreds of these threads, but never posted anything myself. I’m currently 9 DPO, I’m positive about my ovulation date as I get the really sharp pain on my left side each time! Have definitely had a multitude of symptoms. I have it stuck in my head that I’m pregnant, but I have 30 + day cycles. This would be the second one for me! Would love to have a baby, but still finishing up my schooling.. so! We will see. I went crazy and bought a ton of tests, took one this morning which was a BFN. But my period is still 7 days away, so. Would love people to keep me company from my crazy brain!!

I did a test on 9DPO which was completely blank then one on 14DPO using a FRER which was obviously, undeniably positive. I think 9DPO is just too early for most. Try at expected period date @Sarah3956!

Just had some creamy cm after nothing since ovulation, I’m normally dry until AF arrives? Wondering what this could even mean! 5 days until AF

@TheDaydreamBelievers

Logically, I know this! I’m still 6 days out from AF! So I know that I have time. Thanks for the positivity how far along are you now? Or was this a precious pregnancy

@ttc15

Sounds like a positive sign! I can’t tell by that because i feel like I always have cm, during my cycle. It only stops briefly

Hey @Sarah3956 this is now! First baby, negative at 9DPO, BFP on Monday, lines progressing nicely and crossing my fingers hard that it all goes well 🙏🤞

Congrats @TheDaydreamBelievers! 🎉

@TheDaydreamBelievers

Congratulations!!
Nothing makes me more happy to my core, then seeing this for others! I love to watch the line progression too!!! Keep me updated!!

@HerringGull and @Sarah3956 thank you both and also sorry, I realised after posting that it might be insensitive to post the lines pic. It's just to note that at 9 dpo there was nothing and its jumped up really quickly so testing too quickly can make us feel sadness that isnt needed. I was also having ridiculous cycles (141 days and 47 days) with no clear ovulation so I hope that gives hope to others too ! All my wishes for you both

@TheDaydreamBelievers

No, no. Not insensitive at all! This is a platform for support, which is good and bad. We should celebrate our successes. And this is a big one ❤️

Sarah I’m also 9 days post O & desperately checking too!! Have a feeling it’s a no for me as had some dull aches past few days (but funnily not as much as usual pre AF cramps & not as moody either!) so will wait & see.

@TheDaydreamBelievers not at all! Hopefully we will both have the same news, if not this month then soon 😊 Very happy for you x

@DollyParton2

Welcome! I was pretty achy and crampy with my first pregnancy though. It’s very common in early pregnancy, as well as PMS symptom. So hard to tell!

Couldn’t hold off, especially with CM changes and cervix feeling closed. BFN to absolutely no surprise on FR test. Going to go to the shop first thing tomorrow for CB one and try again

Aw don't worry @ttc15 - you're still a few days til AF right?

@ttc15

Don’t be so hard on yourself dear! Each person and pregnancy is different. Some people don’t get a positive until the exact day AF is due, or even days later.

11 DPO today. Took a blue dye test this morning.. got a faint positive line. I know it’s not an evap, because it showed up in a few minutes. But I also hate those stupid tests. So then I felt the urge to buy some real FR kind, held my pee for 4 hours. That was clearly negative. I’m in bed now as I have a splitting headache. How is everyone else?

@Sarah3956 as I thought AF arrived for me this evening, although I'm only 12 DPO! I'm having a prosecco as a consolation prize ha!

Hmm, give yourself a few days and test again! There's still time!!

@AKC88

I’m sorry to hear that! I hope good things happen for you next month ❤️ Wine is delicious though, it can sure help. Yeah I have a billion tests now so I can definitely keep testing daily

Sorry to hear that @AKC88 Hope you're enjoying your prosecco 😜
@Sarah3956 still too early to be sure... hang in there hun!

@HerringGull
How are you doing? 13 DPO and still a BFN this morning. I don’t believe I will be getting a positive this week any longer. I wasted a lot of money on those tests and I feel silly 🙃

@Sarah3956 aww, don't feel silly! It's so tempting isn't it! I hope you still get one this month, but if you don't, don't worry too much. This is your first month TTC right?
I still haven't tested. I only want a BFP if I'm 'reasonably' past the chemical pregnancy window, so will test on Saturday I think at 18DPO :)

@HerringGull

Technically there was a whoopsie around ovulation. We should be buying our house before we actively start trying! Either way, I’d be overjoyed ❤️

You are smart to wait that long. That takes a much stronger woman than I. Please keep me updated

@Sarah3956 Not sure about stronger! I've had a loss already and I don't want the upset of another. Sensible maybe, but definitely not stronger!
Me and DH are very ready emotionally, but 'life plan wise' it's not all there yet for us either. House etc I mean! We're okay, but we're not waiting until everything is perfect. Figure we have nine months to get on with things if it happens for us sooner rather than later! When are you expecting AF?
@ttc15 @DollyParton2 How are you both getting on?

@HerringGull

I’m so sorry to hear of your loss. I completely understand the need to wait, to protect yourself. We are ready emotionally as well but he really wants a house first! That’s been his plan 😂 they say If you wait until the perfect time to have a child, financially stable etc. you’ll be waiting forever!
AF is due in 3 days. So 16 DPO. I’ve had very irregular cycles in the past, so who knows 🤷‍♀️ I’m just basing this off of it being regular the past few months. I’m feeling really odd still though. Cramping everyday, achy lower back too. Boobs hurt so badly, swollen also. Having headaches everyday and light headed. Starving and random cravings. Peeing a lot, also very thirsty. Been very emotional the past few days and cried multiple times! My cervix is still high and closed too, which is odd right before AF

@HerringGull

Oh! And cooking food and perfumes are really bothering me all of a sudden. I can smell a lot more. When I was pregnant with LO, colognes and perfume were horrible to me 🤔
