3dpo, 1st cycle. TWW with me?

[extrababydust123]

Anyone else 3dpo? When do you suggest the best time to test is? I have some frer’s and some ic’s and I honestly think I won’t be able to get through the weekend without testing 😫🤣

@feliznavidad2 how many dpos are you today? Implantation can happen until 12dpo, sometimes even a little bit later.
@extrababydust123 how are you today?

@extrababydust123 sorry I haven't seen your last post, appeared on a new site. Sorry for the negative test, but you're still early! Don't let it stress you out so much. I totally understand you, that's why I protect myself and don't test until as late as possible. I want to have a clear answer I can work with.

@Bundaberg84 9dpo here. Good luck for you when you test - your approach sounds sensible and much less anxiety provoking.

Hope you're ok @extrababydust123 - have you got any nice things to do today to distract you a bit? x

@Bundaberg84 I definitely won’t be testing again now. I think I’ll just wait until af because I feel very out anyway and don’t want to waste anymore tests otherwise ttc is going to cost me a fortune 😂 how are you getting on? Any symptoms?

And thank you @feliznavidad2, I have some work to do this morning and going out for some food this afternoon so that should distract me a little 😊 I know you weren’t feeling 100%, how are you feeling now? X

@extrababydust123 still very refluxy/vommy. Quiet weekend here. Planning to try and relax with nice food and good TV. 🤓

@feliznavidad2 you know the stats. 9dpo is very early, a negative doesn't mean much at this point. Maybe try to not test again this weekend?
@extrababydust123 yesterday I freaked a bit because I had a bad headache and googled way too much about what I can take against it. It's definitely a weather related headache plus I didn't drink enough the previous day. There are way too many fearmongering blogs out there. Took a paracetamol and had a glass of Prosecco and a glass of red wine later that evening. And I'm feeling good.
No symptoms I think. Bloated and a bit if a weird stomach, and craaaazy tired. And a bit moody. But that could mean everything or nothing right :)

@feliznavidad2 enjoy your weekend! Fingers still crossed very tightly for you ❤️

@Bundaberg84 are you testing Monday? Those symptoms all sound very promising, it’s hard to differentiate but I think feeling anything is a good thing I currently feel nothing 😂 I’m going to have a little drink this evening either. No point putting life on hold when I’m certain I’ve failed again this month anyway!

@extrababydust123 I feel you! Having a BBQ tonight and drinking a beee/lemonade mix which only contains a little alcohol.
I think I test Tuesday.

Enjoy @Bundaberg84 - it's blimmin' freezing here.

I'm eating a mint Magnum catching up on The Pact. 📺 Rock and roll.

Still spotting, just when I wipe... The mucus went quite red earlier after I (sorry, TMI as always) strained on the loo but it's brown again now and only a small amount. I'm not going to test again until Monday when I'll be 11dpo.

Feeing nothing is definitely a good thing! Last time I honestly felt fine except for a tiny bit 'woozy' when standing like two weeks post ovulation, no sore boobs, no nausea, no cramps, nada. Fingers are tightly crossed for you both @Bundaberg84
@extrababydust123 x

I think I'm out 😔 my spotting is now heavier and more red, still only on wiping but looks like the beginnings of AF.

Will keep you all updated. Can't feel too despondent as was only our first month trying. Wishing you all lots of luck in the coming days. 🤞🏻 🤞🏻 🤞🏻

@feliznavidad2 I’ve been so busy today I haven’t had chance to check MN. How are you now? Is AF still in full swing or could it possibly have been implantation? Fingers crossed next cycle is for you if so and I hope you’re okay!🤞🏽

I didn’t test today which I’m very proud of myself for but I really don’t feel at all pregnant. I’ll test tomorrow morning and if it’s negative I’m 100% out and will just wait for AF. Really don’t know what we’re doing wrong, all I want to see is a positive test 😔

I'm ok thanks @extrababydust123 - how are you? Up early (again) with a very snotty DS1. Poor lamb.

So tested this am and unsurprisingly it was a BFN. I'm very crampy albeit the spotting has virtually stopped. I think it there was going to be a positive test, it would have happened now.

I'll probably test again later in the week just incase but am pretty much waiting for AF now. And feel the most relaxed I have about it for days.

Good luck to you and @Bundaberg84 🤞🏻 🤞🏻 🤞🏻

@feliznavidad2 another BFN for me this morning too, definitely out now just waiting for AF which is due later this week!

Sorry to hear about your BFN, but there is still time and you’re not out until AF arrives! I’m preparing for next cycle now. Definitely going to give the SMEP a go I think, as dtd every other day clearly isn’t working for me 😂 this time I will be prepared for ovulation as well as it actually came a whole week before expected so didn’t dtd as much as we could have. Good luck to anyone else testing this week ❤️

Hey, I tested today at 9dpo on a frer and bfn. I know it's early but you see women get positives so early. Trying not to get disheartened.
Want to try and hold out now and test Wednesday x

@Emsjourney that’s still very early so don’t be too disheartened ❤️ Fingers crossed for you x

Thank you @extrababydust123 ❤️

@feliznavidad2 oh no that sucks!! I hope it's implantation bleeding, it's toi early for AF right??
@extrababydust123 also to you, you're not out yet! My friend only had a positive 3 days after AF was due.
@Emsjourney I know, some will get a positive by then, but most don't. You can have implantation as late as 12dpo, don't let that BFN tear you down!
I still didn't test yet, even though I dreamt of testing positive tonight. Had the exact same dream last time and it turned out to be positive. I don't really have any symptoms, just dull cramps, but maybe I'm just nervous. Oh and not hungry at all, that's not normal for me.
Only a couple more days you lovelies and we know more! Stay positive ❤️🤞

@Bundaberg84 thanks lovely. A lot of people say they dreamt about testing positive before they did! You are so strong for holding out and not testing especially after that. Have everything crossed for you ❤️

@extrababydust123 thank you hun! It takes a lot to not test, as I have a lot of cheapies lying around, but I couldn't handle a 'kinda potentially positive', I know it! It would drive me insane 😂

@Bundaberg84 I get that! For me I feel like I’d rather just know, whether that be negative or not as I’d rather that than convince myself I’m pregnant for 2 weeks and then get a bfn or AF 😔

It’s crazy how excited I was to start ttc in my first cycle, and now I just feel drained and down about it all. Who’d have thought getting pregnant would be so hard!?

@Bundaberg84 yep 🤞 trying to hold out not to test for another couple of days of so.

Oh and that's so weird about the dream! I had that last time with my daughter! Woke up did a test and was positive! I also had implantation spotting 2/3 days before af was due then tested when af was due after that dream ❤️ was much more laid back then!

7DPO today...
got lower cramps and lower back pain this morning as if AF is arriving... however not due for 7 days yet.
Fingers crossed AF stays away 😢

Hi girls, ordered some frer from Amazon that came today. Took one just but my urine was practically clear as I was very hydrated. Think I have a squinter but not sure as it's sooo light it could be an evap. Last month at 10dpo my line was darker than this (the line is similar to my first test last month at 8dpo). Can it be lighter if I have had lots to drink? Didn't think it mattered with frer as they are so sensitive. Worried that if it is positive it will be another chemical as it's soo light 😔 x

Hey @Bexboo1! How many dpo are you now? I think it definitely matters if your pee is more diluted and could be lighter if so! Try again with fmu tomorrow, fingers crossed for you keep us updated 🤞🏽❤️

@extrababydust123 I'm 10dpo so feel like it should be darker, I compared to my 10dpo from last month and it's soo much lighter. I will test again in the morning but it's bloody killing me 😩
