Anyone else 7DPO and hating the waiting part?

[Blossom37]

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

@emilyylouise haha do you just have one left? That's a good way to control yourself!
I've bought CB digis on purpose - no point testing before 11 or 12 dpo with those so it helps me control myself 🤣

I'm due 3rd feb too! We can do this! Be strong! lol x

I'm not due til 4th or 5th as I have a 15/16 day LP. Very annoying for TTC! I used to wait until I was late, but last month I ended up doing a test at 14dpo with DH there and it was easier to handle the disappointment together, than waiting for AF to pounce when I'm on my own!

Hmm think I maybe already said that on this thread... repeating myself! 🙈 Scrambled brains!

slinks off to hang head in shame

@HerringGull

It's costing me a small fortune!!! 🤣🤣🤣 I'm 100% not doing another until Sunday now!

Started to get sore boobies this evening 🤷🏼‍♀️

Have always been just a lurker, however had to join as this is my exact cycle too, 8dpo today and due AF on 03 Feb. I have had some symptoms such as really sensitive nipples, stomach cramps and back pain? but can be a bit of a symptom watcher, even though not specifically ttc. Holding out to test but it’s hard to wait

Hey @hungrycaterpillar2 😊 When do you think you'll test?

I'm due either 1st or 3rd depending which app it is 🤣

@hungrycaterpillar12 nice to have you with us!

@Meg87 don't worry about lack of symptoms I think I would prefer that than overanalyse every single thing that can easily be explained by the impending af 😆

9DPO today - tested with frer and nothing. Trying not to lose hope but have a feeling I'm out this month. Boobs started hurting yesterday but I'll probably just put it down to the af coming. My temp also dropped 0.1 so we shall see what happens tomorrow. I still have those weird cramps and my back is aching too past 3 days so haha I'm worried now when she comes it will be a Holly mother of all afs lol and will be like gates of hell opening 🤣

@Blossom37 don't be too disappointed it's still really early!! Try and wait a couple more days and test again 😊

Anyone else having really crazy dreams at the moment? I dreamt I was in prison last night and was doing a pregnancy test but it was really really big and I couldn't hide it lol!

@peach1234 haha oh man that's a weird dream! I had a couple as well a few nights back.

Yeah trying to stay positive but as I tested positive at 9DPO with my first I was tiny bit hopeful 😆

I know it's hard not to isn't it! Stay strong for a couple of days now. The only problem I find with testing first thing is I always end up caving and testing again in the eve lol

@Blossom37 definitely could be too soon, don't worry! Aren't 9 and 10 dpo the two most common days to implant? If that's you then you won't even get a squinter til 11dpo surely ☺️

@peach1234 when you planning to test?

@HerringGull I've got some frer coming today and I know I'll 100% test as soon as they come as I have zero will power but if nothing I'll try and wait until Sunday. AF due on 3rd so still ages! 10dpo today. When are you testing do you think? X

@HerringGull just read you have a long LP too, mines 16 days this month, so annoying isn't it! I never know when's best to test

@peach1234 yeah it is annoying, but at least we don't have to worry it's too short - that would be worse! I think you're right and Sunday is best. Let us know what you get when you test later today though! :)
I can't decide whether to test on Sunday (12 dpo) with FMU or in the evening on Tuesday/Wednesday, which'll be 14/15 dpo. I want to do it with DH so am limited to those times. I guess the evening on 15 dpo would be the best, but tbh I'm not a fan of evenings because then you have to go to bed feeling sad! So silly!

Oh really! @HerringGull I didn't know that about the LP! Does that mean we can test earlier or have to wait longer?? Lol
Ahh I know what you mean about evenings. I would definitely try and hold out as long as you can so if you can get to Sunday and not cave then at least you know you have to wait until Tuesday! So you've only really got Sunday to get through! But I know how hard it is I know I'll cave!

@peach1234 haha I probably will too Could ask DH what he thinks, but he is a sensible soul and will say 15dpo!
Never really thought about it before, but can't see why a long LP would mean we should test later... wouldn't the egg just implant at the usual time like everyone else, so we should get a BFP at the same time potentially. I guess the downside is if you get a BFN you have to wait more days before AF comes and you can start the next cycle!
Lots of luck to you when you test later xx

@HerringGull that makes sense! I guess it's just the fact that if you get a negative you don't 100% believe it until AF comes so it's longer to wait to see if you're late!

Thank you I'll keep you updated. I'm sure it'll be negative as too early!

Planning to do similar to @HerringGull with testing maybe on Sunday but hopefully waiting out until Tuesday/Wednesday.

Symptoms seem to have dipped today, which concerned me slightly, but holding out hope. I find my symptoms worsen at certain times of the day, does anyone else feel that? painful nipples have been the most stand out symptom this cycle, but can occasionally get that with PMS.

Good luck to you all if you test over the next few days!

Also forgot to mention, my pack of FRER arrived yesterday and tested immediately on a pathetic afternoon wee and obviously got negative so really trying to wait it out now so I don’t waste them.

Just tested and negative, as I knew it would be! Damnit!

Yes @hungrycaterpillar12 - a testing buddy!
Don't worry about your lack of symptoms, you're pretty unlikely to have any yet, unless you implanted unusually early. Lots of people have no symptoms until like week 5 or later - I bet it's more common than actually having symptoms, but it's just that people with no symptoms don't talk about them on MN

Aw @peach1234 sorry! Don't be too sad yet though - so early. Are you going to hold out til Sunday now do you think?

@peach1234 oh try not to get to disappointed too quickly I'm trying not to as well since it's still so early!

@HerringGull that's it isn't it with the symptoms? The problem is they are so similar to usual PMS that quite frankly it's hard to distinguish but we are all driving ourselves crazy symptom spotting hoping for the best 🤣
