Wasted my FRER at 9dpo

[tulips87]

I promised myself I wouldn't! But I woke up this morning feel awful, so off I went and POAS and at 9dpo it was a BFN. AF is due in 7 days.
Why do I do this to myself!!
I'm annoyed now and just really disappointed. But the last few days I have felt so tired, off food and sick so I sort of had convinced myself I was. I've set myself up for a bad day. Sorry for the rant!

Aw I feel you OP! I’m in the 2 week wait and I gave in yesterday and tested- obviously BFN as I’d just ovulated but I hate waiting 😬

Jumping onboard as I am in the same boat. BFN at 8dpo. I shouldn't have tested, and wasn't planning to test but then suddenly there I was POAS. I have had 4 pregnancies so far, first succesful, then a mmc, then a chemical (ok so doesn't really count as a pregnancy but for a week I thought I was pregnant and went through the testing rollercoaster!) and then another early loss under 6weeks last month. I know if it doesn't show by 10dpo I will be out for this month so just trying to get through the next 48 hours without POAS every single time I pee!

@tulips87 you're not alone in that I've done that many times 🙈
You're not out yet though!

@treesall a chemical does count as a pregnancy (that was told to me by my dr) :)

@tulips87 no I tested again this morning hahaha. Can't resist! Of course it was negative, I'm going to wait a few more days (for real this time) then test again xx

I am in the first month TTC day 27 of cycle and 7dpo. I have tested yesterday and today and bfn. Is it just too early to test it should I be seeing at least faint positives by now?

@HenB definitely too early! Even the earliest positives don't usually come until 8DPO.

I didn't test today but getting cramps so I keep thinking "hmm is that a sign?" It's also a sign of PMS so you know...

@HenB everyone is different it depends when implantation happens and how accurately you've dated ovulation as hcg double every 2-3 days it's not impossible to have a positive at 7dpo but negative doesn't mean you're out

@treesall if there's a stick, of course you have to POAS!! It tortures us from the cupboard every month! I shouldn't buy any really.
I'm sorry for your losses. A chemical is a mc too so don't brush that off. It's not easy and I admire you for continuing.
I was put off by my 3rd MMC and it's taken me 2 years to snap out of the worry and want to try again now because I couldn't face the thought of getting to 10 weeks and finding no heartbeat again.
But here I am, so so impatient to get pregnant!!!! Wishing you a speedy 48hours with no POAS! xx

So.....guess who POAS this morning! 🙋🏻‍♀️
Had the heaviest achy boobs last night, so of course it means I'm pregnant right??? Hahaha nope! A BFN!
AF needs to hurry along now, not due till Wednesday though 😩😩😩
That was my last test too and I now promise myself not to buy any more.

Sorry you got a BFN @tulips87. I too POAS this morning and even though my cheapie was so clearly negative, I wasted my last frer in desperation and still of course BFN. 9dpo today. I wanted soooo much for it to happen this month and we dtd so blooming much! Sigh.

@treesall I know how you feel, it's when we put a lot of effort in that you feel it's sort of wasted? I know it shouldn't feel like that but all of the OPK'ing, the conceive plus, the BD'ing on the days you're supposed to and even more. Like what more can we do???
I know a lot of people will say take the relaxed approach but I don't want to feel like I've wasted a month on 'relaxing' if that makes sense.
I'm so sorry yours was a BFN but there's still time for you!! 🤞🏼🤞🏼

@treesall and @tulips87 you're not out until AF comes along. Things could still change for us all 🤞 xx

You are still in with a chance @tulips87, especially if AF isn't due until Wednesday.

I've lost the plot. I've tested a million times day. Basically every time I've gone to the toilet. I know it's pointless but I can't help myself.

@treesall you're not out either till AF.
Sometimes we really just can't help ourselves. TTC really is a stressful impatient waiting game and turns us all crazy!

I’ve almost gone into opposite of POAS. I was thinking I should maybe test this weekend, as tomorrow will be 12DPO and then I know whether I can indulge and drink this weekend. But now I’m terrified! I don’t want to see another BFN.

Do you guys track BBT?

I convinced myself I could see a slight hint of a line earlier so ended up doing a load more tests. This is my latest test...very clearly negative! Booooo. Feel a bit embarrassed by my crazy testing today. Will do one with fmu tomorrow and then try to retain some composure!

@heybabes we’re in our second cycle of trying (after 2 consecutive miscarriages) so we’re trying a ‘relaxed’ approach but I’m thinking it’s something I’d want to do as well as use ovulation tests. Atm I just know I’m ovulating because of heavy discharge.

What’s the body temperature tracking like?

@heybabes but if you test and get a BFN at least you can treat yourself to some nice food and drink.
However if you do test 🤞🏼 it's a BFP!! And if it isn't, we will be here for you and can go the next cycle together.

I don't track BBT but have been considering it but my sleep is so rubbish and I know it would stress me out.

@heybabes I tried to track bbt but with w toddler that often disturbs me at 5am it just didn't really work. I found it white stressful needing to take me temp before even properly moving out of bed in the morning! But they do say it's the most reliable indicator.

I hope you get a BFP, my fingers are crossed for you

Confession... I tested today @ 4/5 dpo 🤣
Officially... poas crazy!! Funnily enough it was a BFN which I knew it would be.. still did it anyway!

@Pixieandpip I did the exact same on my first cycle!! Second cycle I have no idea how I waited out till 8dop 😂
🤞🏼 for your BFP this cycle!

@Pixieandpip I did the same at 5dpo even though I was 100% certain it'd be bfn. That's what cheapy tests are for, right?

Yeah.. I’m just so thankful they are cheap 🤣🙈
Yes I hope we all get there. It’s my first month trying from first period after a mmc.
I’ve just been slightly miffed as last time fell pregnant straight away without trying and now it’s not immediate I’m getting impatient although fully aware I’m being a brat as many people far worse off and been trying a lot longer.

@Pixieandpip I'm sorry about your mmc.
I also got pregnant straight away with all mine, although 3 ended in mmc and I expect it to happen straight away again but clearly not! I'm so impatient and it's also been 2years since the last pregnancy so I'm sure things have changed with my body and it's all probably slowing down.
Why do we become crazy women when TTC!
