Anyone else 7DPO and hating the waiting part?

[Blossom37]

I'm sooooo impatient 😭 also trying not to symptom spot geeez so hard!

@hungrycaterpillar12 I did my own chart 🤓 However can't workout how to upload it as a pic (I'm using the MN app). But over the last 9 days my heart rates been:

02-Feb 57
01-Feb 56
31-Jan 48
30-Jan 55
29-Jan 50
28-Jan 50
27-Jan 52
26-Jan 46
25-Jan 51

What's more interesting is that the weekend I had really bad pain with my cysts my heart rate was up to 60 those days. Mine varies normally between 45-56 on average

@Aubyone thank you that’s such a good idea! We’ve got some of my favourite wine in so I can have that, and we have pains au chocolat in the freezer that we could have for Friday breakfast after testing 🙂 and maybe we could watch a movie Friday night or something. Xxx

Morning ladies,
9dpo and BFN this morning.
Feeling strange as not had my usual AF symptoms but have had some. I know its still early for testing but I just can't help myself 😂
How is everyone else today? X

@Lulukate1 that’s so early so don’t give up hope! 🙂

Sorry for TMI but my husband and I did it again this morning and I got some pink discharge afterwards. This is the second time it’s happened this cycle, last time we did it was Monday and it happened then too. It’s too early for my period so I googled it and it’s mostly saying it’s normal and common in early pregnancy as the cervix is changing so I’m hoping this is a good sign. It happened last time I was pregnant too.

I’m hoping it’s a good sign and not a bag sign 🤞

How is everyone else doing today? Any more tests? Xxx

AF started this morning, right on time, so no testing for me tomorrow 😔 I'm pretty disappointed as I thought I felt a lot different to other cycles, but I guess that's probably standard when TTC!

Good luck to everyone else still in the running 🤞.

That sounds promising @Cafeaulait27 - is it tomorrow you're going to test?

@Meg87 are you sure it’s def your period and not implantation? My first pregnancy implantation bleeding happened at exactly the same time my period was due xxx

I’m going to wait to test until Friday! Usually I would be testing now but my husband has hidden the tests under strict instructions to not give them to me until Friday xxx

Hahaha very good idea @Cafeaulait27 😀

Yes, very sure it's AF unfortunately. Heavy bleeding (which I imagine wouldn't be the case with implantation), and period-like cramps. 😣

That's a good sign @Cafeaulait27 !! Good luck for Friday!

BFN today for me so I'm thinking I'm out and unfortunately my BFP was an indent or something?! 😞

@Meg87 so sorry to hear AF came for you x

Thanks @peach1234, sorry that you may be out this cycle too 😟 it's awful that indents/evap lines exist and get our hopes up so much 😣

I feel so fed up too this morning. I took my test as and BFN. Not even a faint flipping line 😢 I'm so annoyed as I really thought I was. I usually spot 3-5 days before AF properly arrives and I'm CD28 and haven't yet. I know from my scan and the cysts that I definitely ovulated to have them in the first place and I know I must have ovulated at the very latest before we DTD on the 21st Jan as that's when I must have ruptured them. My Nan (whose crazy and we call a witch 😂 in a nice way) messaged me too last night asking if I'm pregnant and she did that to my cousin for and was right so my hopes were so, so high this morning 😔

I’m so sorry to hear of your BFNs guys.

I’ve read on here before from a Doctor saying that indents and evaps don’t actually exist. If there is no HCG then there will be no line at all, not even an indent. So I’ve always believed that as it makes sense.

In my experience when it’s a very very faint line a heavy and long bleed has followed which suggests a very early loss/chemical.

And when it’s negative I never get anything, not even an indent, it’s always completely clear.

I could be wrong of course but I just want to share what I know and hopefully give some hope.

You might not get a positive until later if you implanted late? With my first pregnancy I didn’t get a strong positive line until the date my period would’ve ended xxx

Thanks @Cafeaulait27 that's what is confusing me so much as it was quite a clear (faint) 2nd line 😩 but surely 2 days later I'd at least still have some sort of faint line rather than nothing?

We'll see if AF shows up in the next few days I guess! I'm actually going in for a scan on Sunday to get checked as I've been having really long, heavy periods the last 5/6 months so I probably won't be able to tell from my period anyway which isn't a bad thing. I'm also thinking that if my period hasn't come by then they may be able to tell if I'm pregnant so I'll get a definite answer by then even if my period is late (as it decided to be 2 days late last month just to mess with me!)

How are you feeling? Xx

@Crazydoglady123 it's so stressful isn't it! I feel like our bodies know so like to mess with our heads! I was having 25 day cycles and 7-10 day periods then last month I was 29 days and a 3 day period... so obviously I thought omg I'm pregnant but no... why can't be just be like robots so we know 100% when somethings different it's for a real reason! Lol x

BFN 15dpo, That's it, I'm just waiting for the next cycle now, AF needs to hurry up 😅 I'm thinking that as it was my first month TTC I was Googling everything and stressing myself out. Just gonna take it easy next cycle. Gonna treat myself to a glass of wine tonight 🍷.

Best of luck to those still in and best of luck to those starting a fresh cycle 🤞🏼 xx

@peach1234 my periods have changed so much over the 2 years TTC. It's so annoying how it plays tricks on you so much. When I was pregnant before I got a very faint line positive for a few days. I also had hardly any pregnancy signs but then I was a lot younger and probably not as in tune with my body as I am now. We have decided that if it doesn't happen this month we're going to pay for IVF but I must say it's not something I'm looking forward to 🙄

@peach1234 that is really strange especially with no bleeding. good to hear you’re having a scan, hopefully that will help if there is something treatable if you’ve been having horrible periods, that must be awful. What do they think the very long periods might be if you don’t mind me asking?

Hope it goes well for you xxx

@peach1234 sorry forgot to answer your question! I feel ok, sometimes a little dizzy/tired/nauseous but I don’t know if I’m just imagining that tbh.

So worried every time I go to the toilet that there will be blood 😔 previously losses certainly gives you PTSD, it’s almost like a phobia now every time I go to the toilet.

Even if I am pregnant, I know I’m going to worry constantly for the first 12 weeks if not the whole time. I hope if I am pregnant I will be able to have an early scan due to my previous losses.

I don’t want to get my hopes up too much, but it feels like I might be lucky this month ❤️ We’ll see ...

@Cafeaulait27 no idea! The first time it happened it was like I had 2 periods back to back, 10 days really heavy and had to take some tablets to stop the bleeding, the docs said it could be stress but then it kept happening. Definitely wasn't a mc or anything as we were going through a bit of a drought so knew that wasn't the issue! Had to wait months for a scan so hopefully they can check all looks ok. Xx

Are you due today @Cafeaulait27 ? X

@peach1234 so strange hope they can get to the bottom of it for you.

I’m due on Friday, literally finding it so hard to wait but no knowing where the tests are is really helping. I know my husband won’t tell me even if I beg haha. If I knew where they were I would’ve tested by now for sure.

It’s so hard to not start thinking in my head that I’m pregnant and planning out my whole year! I need to calm down. I don’t have much evidence to suggest that I am yet as I’m not late. I’m 12 dpo according to my app xx

Also feel a bit achy in my abdomen, I don’t know whether it’s just cos I’m thinking about it. Hope it’s not AF!

I also feel like my boobs are a bit tender but it’s so hard to know if I’m just symptom spotting xxx

I had a funny turn in a video meeting earlier today (I’m WFH) and felt really nauseas and like I was going to throw up. I have tender boobs at times, sometimes dizzy, hungry, constipated now and having some crazy dreams as well as waking up earlier.

I’ve discussed with my husband and we’ve decided to test first thing tomorrow, a day before my period is due.

So I will update you all with whatever news it is tomorrow xxx

Ooh @Cafeaulait27 that's exciting! It sounds promising! 😀🤞

Good luck @Cafeaulait27 !! Let us know how you get on. Keeping everything crossed for you x
