10dpo - symptoms but bfn

[victoria5895]

Hi, I’m hoping to get some advice on symptoms. From around 5dpo to 9dpo (today)
I’ve had these symptoms:
Nausea (To the point of dry heaving)
Dizziness
Very sore boobs
Overly sensitive nipples
Fatigue (very intense today!)
EWCM at CD18 (day after predicted OV)
Creamy CM from CD21-24 (today)

I’m now convinced that I’m pregnant
My af is due on the 11th, I’ve been testing every morning since 7dpo with internet cheapies and not even the slightest line is appearing.

My OH and I haven’t been actively trying, but would be a lovely surprise - I was so disappointed at the bfn at 8dpo that I had to tell him, he has now started online research and is so excited. It’s so disappointing so I’m hoping you could share some stories of early bfn turning to bfp

My af is due on 11th too!

My nipples are VERY sensitive and I've been getting cramps on and off. Also have lots of watery discharge (sorry for TMI)

Hard to tell because I was on the pill for ages until Sept so I've forgotten what normal pms is like.

I'm holding our til Monday to test if AF doesn't arrive.

Fingers crossed for us both!

I’m due AF on the 11th too! I’ve got sore boobs so I caved and did a test this morning but it was a BFN. No stories of BFNs turning into a BFP sadly as I gave up early testing the one month my daughter was conceived (after religiously being a fanatic tester) I should probably learn from that.... Baby dust to you both xx

With both my previous pregnancies. I was still getting bfn until due date of AF. I need to keep reminding myself of this because i feel bad when i get bfn and i waste money on tests.

That’s for your replies ladies! It’s quite reassuring to know it not just me in this situation.
Fingers crossed for us all that af doesn’t arrive on the 11th!

I was planning to test every morning but thinking I should hold off until Monday/Tuesday next week.

Forgot to mention I think I may have had implantation bleeding around 6/7dpo with dark brown discharge over two days, not a lot at all but some on my underwear and when I wiped. Very watery - nothing I’ve ever seen before

Hey can I join? I'm on CD 22, and 8DPO according to my Flo app, although it may not be completely accurate as I've not been using OPK's. My AF is due on the 12th, I caved and did a test today and of course it was BFN, feel stupid for wasting my time and money but couldn't resist! And now of course I'm symptom spotting like a mad woman, but I don't know if they are early pregnancy symptoms or if I'm just imagining what I want to see... I've had tingly nipples all day and I've been much more thirsty than normal for a couple of days now. We're still TTC number one so no stories here of BFN turning to BFP unfortunately, sorry! But I'd love to hear others stories while I wait a couple more days to test again.

@victoria5895 oh implantation bleeding sounds like its going in right direction!

@tryingfornumberone im also due AF 12th, wishing you all the luck. Its difficult sympton spotting as i find early preg symptons are very similar to period symptoms.

Hopefully there will be some positives for us all next week 🤞🏻

Let me know your symptoms tomorrow everyone xx

I'm due AF on the 12th as well (thought it was 11th but I've just realised it's the 12th). I'm getting so nervous. I'm going to get myself some tests at the weekend but try and hold off until AF is due. In my first pregnancy I thought AF would show up any second and didn't test until I was a week late, I wish I had that patience this time! No symptoms except some cramps which could go either way.

Morning @victoria5895

I barely slept last night, so anxious! But I also had to wee 3 times, which is unusual but could be nerves.

Boobs are still very itchy. Dull cramps in abdomen.

I dreamt AF came super early and was so gutted!

How's everyone else this morn? Xx

Morning all,

My symptoms have practically disappeared today, I haven’t had any signs of nausea, cm isn’t really visible I can just feel it. Boobs are okay.

The only thing I’m still feeling is backache, and achy lower belly, thinking these are more PMS symptoms now?

How are you all feeling this morning? Is anyone managing to stay away from testing yet?

Tested again this morning with a cheap test it was negative.

Still cramping. Gave in and ordered some tests to arrive tomorrow.

Hi all,

Have just found this thread and would love to join. Sounds like you have some promising symptoms.

I’m due on the 10th and have 0 symptoms so far, also tested this morning and BFN but was expecting that as countdown to pregnancy calculator said earliest a test would show for me is the 7th.

Fingers crossed we get our BFP’s soon!

I'm waiting to test too! Really sore and veiny boobs, cramps, backache and insomnia right up until last night. I ordered some tests in the hope that the postal delay will slow me down from wanting to test. Fingers crossed for us all!

Hi @Amijustagrump how many DPO are you? Good idea not having tests around. I thought I would be so much more chilled about this all but it’s all I can think about and only on cycle 2 of TTC🙄

I think I'm currently 9 or 10! I'm not chill at all.. I just need to relax a bit

I can feel nausea creeping back in and my boobs are very prickly, if that makes sense 😂

I keep digging my tests out of the bin to see if they've changed 😂

How are you all feeling this afternoon? Anyone else caved and tested yet?

I haven't caved yet! I was sorely tempted this morning but didn't want to waste another test, I'm planning to test tomorrow with FMU.
My boobs are tingly too, although not so much today as they were yesterday evening, and I'm feeling a bit dizzy and nauseous.

Same boat, 10dpo today, had symptoms the past few days like increase in watery/creamy cm, back ache, nausea, no appetite, thirsty, frequent urination especially at night, tender stomach, trappped wind and cramps. AF is due on 11th for me. Every month without fail my only pms symptoms are sore boobs that start exactly 5 days before my period comes so all these other symptoms had me convinced im pregnant. Tested yesterday with a BFN and this morning with I think a BFN, I think im just convincing myself i can see a vvvvfl line but I dont wanna get my hopes up!

@2021please I'm sure I've done the same now, completely convinced myself that I must be pregnant as I'm having these symptoms. Hopefully we'll get our positives soon!

@TryingForNumberOne let us know how you get on!

Thanks again for the replies girls, I'm finding I'm much less frantic now that I can pour all my thoughts and symptom spotting into this thread.

Have you all told your partners yet? I wish I hadn't now, he's so excited. He's outside the bathroom door every morning waiting for me to tell him the good news.

@victoria5895 my partner knows but doesn't want to get hopes up . I'm not feeling hopeful anymore. Trying to be positive but struggling.

Good luck ladies xx

@Camzarella it's so difficult isn't it, one minute I'm convinced I am the next I'm thinking there's no chance.

There's always next month though if we miss it this month I suppose. Have you been trying long? Will this be your first?

@victoria5895 yeah it's a roller coaster of emotions. I didn't ever consider it could take long. This will be my first and we've been trying since September. We got engaged in August and have decided to wait til summer 2022 to get married so thought we may as well just start trying. I'm 31 on Friday and ideally would like 3 kids.

There's slight pressure as we can only try until April/May due to the wedding and wanting to have time to recover etc before big day.

How about you, how long have you been trying? Is this your first? Xx

I'm also due on the 11th! Well. I think. Basically 11th-13th I'm guessing as my cycles are a bit weird after a miscarriage a couple of months ago and I decided not to use opks for a bit for a more relaxed approach. So naturally I'm symptom spotting and early testing like mad - ha! I had a bfn this morning but I'm not getting any symptoms of anything, pregnancy or PMS, so who knows!

My partner asked if I feel pregnant but I said no. I won't say anything until I get a positive! I think I might test Friday morning. I'm scared to test early.

We've been trying for around 12 months, but not properly every month because my husband is away a lot with work which makes it difficult because we don't always hit the fertile period. My husband is tentativley excited but doesn't want to get ahead of himself before we actually get that positive test which I understand, besides he's a naturally reserved person anyway. I totally agree that it a rollercoaster of emotions, the longer this goes on the harder it is, like you @camzarella I never even considered at the start that it could take this long...
I really hope this will be our month ladies, fingers crossed for us all!
