@beanchopper17 hopefully its a false negative, 9dpo is still early, still in the game till 🧙‍♀️ arrives 🙂 xx

Im 7dpo now, still having the lower left abdominal twinges / pressure but been having this since 4dpo which is new for me.

I started spotting 8dpo last cycle and felt absolutely rubbish, so beside of breast tenderness and increased CM I feel good this time round. Trying to hold off testing for no x

What symtoms are you experiencing?

Sallyjo27 · 17/11/2020 16:08

@beanchopper17 I can see a very faint line there!

beanchopper17 · 17/11/2020 20:46

I need to step away from the tests, I see another vvvvvfl, I hate it when it's not a clear positive 🤦🏼‍♀️

@beanchopper17 I can see it!!! How many dpo are you now?? I’ve found the cheapies are useless I’ve had clear positives on clearblue but not on the cheapies x

beanchopper17 · 17/11/2020 22:31

@Sallyjo27 around 9dpo, hummm I may try to leave a couple of days. So frustrating.

Sandiesands · 18/11/2020 12:00

@beanchopper17 i hope you have your clear positive soon ❤ what dpo are you thinking of re-testing ?

i agree with @Sallyjo27 try not to feel deflated i know easier said than done, the cheapies aren't that sensitive compared to first response & clearblue etc xx

I caved today and of course a BFN, only 8dpo so know its super early. I dont know why I tested knew it be a negative, I dont know why i do it to myself lol x

My BBT chart is looking so promising 🤞never had such high temps before, hoping im seeing a triphasic pattern starting 🙏 🤞 my temps have shifted from between 36.65 /36.75 to now 36.95 to 37.05

I think I might test again at 13 dpo if AF dosnt show before then and if I can hold out that long lol xx

Sandiesands · 18/11/2020 12:02

@Sallyjo27 how are you getting on? Feeling well I hope. Have you told your partner the news yet xx

Sallyjo27 · 18/11/2020 19:12

@Sandiesands I’m okay thank you cautiously excited. After 3 losses I feel so nervous! Tests are getting darker though

@Sandiesands sorry I pressed send to soon. Yes I told him as soon as he was in the bathroom waiting to see the result 😩😂
How are you?

beanchopper17 · 18/11/2020 21:00

@Sallyjo27 they are looking promising 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻

I have a feeling my tests just have really bad indents, cause the mixture of vvvvvfl's and negatives are not trustworthy 🤦🏼‍♀️

Hi all, so I’ve tested this morning (I’m due on tomorrow/Monday latest) so around 12/13 DPO and have got the faintest thinnest line on a Clearblue early detection test - unfortunately I was half asleep this morning when I done it so couldn’t see anything as it was dark and when I checked a couple hours later there was the faintest line what do you think?

beanchopper17 · 21/11/2020 10:38

@hopefully2021 that could be a evap line, it's why u should never really trust results out of the time window. Test again tomorrow and hopefully I am wrong and u see a stronger line :)

Sallyjo27 · 22/11/2020 08:55

Hi all, how are you all getting on? X

hopefully2021 · 22/11/2020 09:33

I’m going to wait until tomorrow to test again give AF a chance to arrive if it is xx

Sandiesands · 22/11/2020 11:20

Hey all
@hopefully2021 i definitely see a line , hoping so much its not a evaporation line x ive got all of my fingers crossed for you x

Im definitely out this month AF came early again. I seem to be experiencing a short letual phase of 9 days 😶 last month it was 8, thought it was a fluke as I solo depended on OPKs last month, as I couldnt temp due to shift work and I thought I estimate my ovulation day wrong.

Just brought some VItamin B6 and plan to observe it this month x fingers crossed it lengthens x

beanchopper17 · 22/11/2020 12:41

@Sallyjo27 well still negatives, period due tomorrow or Tuesday, but zero cramps or anything. The pattern is recently I burst into tears for no reason the day before period starts, it's very strange but the next day I am like ohhhhh now it makes sense!

How's things going with you? Done anymore tests to monitor?

OP posts:
hopefully2021 · 22/11/2020 13:46

@Sandiesands thank you, I'm keeping mine crossed too but trying not to get too hopeful incase it was just an evap line! Sorry to hear about your AF coming, hoping that you get a little christmas miracle next month Smile xx

Sandiesands · 22/11/2020 21:46

Thanks @hopefully2021 you too xx

Lucille3 · 23/11/2020 00:01

Hi all, can I join? I’m cd37 (usually between 34-39) and I think 9dpo, AF due on weds. Already took tests on 6&7dpo because I’m a total addict and even tho I know they would be negative, I can’t stop myself 🙄 didn’t do it yesterday or today tho.

Getting all the symptoms of course, sore boobs, nausea, metallic taste, back ache, gassy (nothing to do with cauli cheese at tea time)...all the same as I get with AF.

I have a super stressful work day tomorrow which is making me feel like crying...don’t know whether to start the day with a bang and no doubt another BFN or have the idea of POAS rattling round my head all day.

The 2ww is enough to drive you completely barmy!! It’s so good to read that you’re not the only one!!!!!!

Wishing you all much luck and baby dust and sticky vibes etc etc 🤞🤞🤞

hopefully2021 · 23/11/2020 07:27

Done another test this morning and complete BFN so just waiting on AF to arrive, so gutted as I thought this could be my month! Sad xx

Lucille3 · 23/11/2020 07:45

@hopefully2021 I'm really sorry, seeing a negative test is so hard 😞

hopefully2021 · 23/11/2020 08:06

@Lucille3 I just can't get my head around what we are doing wrong, it's so emotionally draining!xx

Lucille3 · 23/11/2020 08:27

@hopefully2021 that feeling of if effort equaled results, you'd have twins. It's such a constant, hard battle. Sending much solidarity.

I just POAS and it's stark white. I know that's it's probably still too early to tell, but it's almost like I want to manage those feelings of sadness and disappointment now.

What a strange ride.

beanchopper17 · 23/11/2020 10:59

Oh it certainly is a rollercoaster!

I am 14dpo, I think period should come today (even though one of my apps say tomorrow). Stark negative this morning and zero symptoms.

I was very hopeful this month as I started taking supplements a couple of months ago to help with my insulin resistant pcos, this will be one of my shortest cycles (37days in total) which is amazing but I had hope that maybe I had done everything right to get my bfp 😑

Urghhh fully on period watch now haha

Lucille3 · 23/11/2020 11:26

@beanchopper17 it’s rubbish isn’t it. I think we are in the same boat this month. I am holding out hope for you though, it would be wonderful.

could I ask what supplements you take for the pcos? I also have long cycles, which the doctors guess if IR PCOS, but they offer little assistance. One of those things, they say. Plus I’m old, I have one baby, I’m overweight...so nothing they would be able to do to help, apparently.
