7DPO...

[line123eyesalways]

I'm 7DPO today (I think) and driving myself mad with symptom spotting....

Is anyone else in the same boat?

Took a better picture in natural lighting and it's definitely negative!

@line123eyesalways, sorry but i don't see anything on your yest either, but i think there high sensitivity maybe 20/25, which i don't think would pick hcg up at this point, especially if your only 10/11 dpo. So i wouldn't rule youself out just yet 😊🤞.

Im thinking im going to O late or maybe not at all, as i usually get pains etc which i haven't got yet.

@line123eyesalways I think I can see a shadow of something, especially on the last one!

@Mamastarz I’m 11dpo, got a BFN yesterday, will try again tomorrow.

@line123eyesalways oh sorry just say you posted another pic!! Fingers crossed for a better result tomorrow.

@line123eyesalways give it a few days and see what happens. Are you still getting cramps?

@Mamastarz i think I'm 7dpo today so maybe I'll test in a few days!

@Charl881 well done for not testing again!

@Mamastarz yeah I think they are 25!

@Charl881 I think I may wait til Tuesday now! That'll be 2 days before AFs due! Are you testing tomorrow still.

@chasingtherainbow1 I had cramps yesterday! Mild period pains again but have had nothing today! Still go sore boobs, stuffy nose and CM though! So hard to distinguish whats AF and whats not!! Not too long to wait now though!

@line123eyesalways yeah! Tomorrow afternoon if AF hasn’t arrived. It’s due tomorrow but cycles still not a consistent length so I could just have a longer one again, but I imagine at 12dpo on a FRER I should get a fairly accurate result either way.

@line123eyesalways it I really is difficult! I feel like I've been getting prickly tugging pains but I also felt that last month too so probs nothing 😂

@Charl881 good look for tomorrow hopefully you'll know one way or the other.

I think I'll test on Tuesday. I'll only be 9DPO but I wanna know before I have this video consultation about the tests on Friday!

@Charl881 good luck today!

@chasingtherainbow1 you never know!!

I woke up with bad back pains, mainly on one side! Don't know what that means as I've never had it before! They're quite intense so might be AF letting me know she'll be arriving imminently!

@line123eyesalways I'm so tempted to test but I'm not going to because I'll only be disappointed or obsessing over it 😂

Hopefully it's not AF cramps. Let us know how you get on

Ok so I decided to test because I'm so weak and give in too easily. Really wish I hadn't bow as I have a weird result. There is a pink dot and the top and bottom of the strip where the positive line would be. I think it's a weird indent but it will get my hopes up. Why do I do this to myself?!

@chasingtherainbow1 it really doesn't feel like AF cramps, I feel quite sick, headache! Back pain has eased off slightly. I'm constantly needing to go to the toilet!

Can you take a picture of it? You're 8DPO today aren't you? X

BFN for me today!

I thought I had a FRER left but annoyingly I didn’t so I used a clear blue early digital that I’d been saving for if I did get a BFP. At least it meant there was no debating over a line 😅

AF due today, hasn’t arrived yet, but I’m only 12dpo so I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s late because of ovulating late this cycle like what happened a couple of cycles ago.

At least I feel like with every cycle I’m getting to understand my body a bit better.

Might order some FRERs online just in case it doesn’t show on Wednesday!

@line123eyesalways hmm that's strange. When are you planning on testing again?

@Charl881 oh thats rubbish. Although don't people say the digitals are not very good at picking up low levels of hcg so you have to take them a bit later? I feel the same about my body. I think the biggest thing I've learnt is that as soon as my boobs start hurting, I know I've ovulated the day before. Will be useful in the future for guessing dpo.

This is the pic. Theres no line in between the dots so I think it's a funny test.

@Charl881 oh no! May have been too early for an early detection as you say! You're not out until AF shows!

@chasingtherainbow1 that's so confusing! It does look like a faint line! I think I may test in the morning! I've still got 3 days til AF is predicted so it's still early I know!

@chasingtherainbow1 that’s odd, it almost does look like a faint line if you squint.

I think I have cheapies somewhere so I might try again in a bit. But really need to get a frer for peace of mind I think.

@line123eyesalways are you holding out until tomorrow?

@chasingtherainbow1 please don't be hard on yourself. I got a BFN the other month and stupidly went to look at the test in the bin after an hour (everyone knows NOT to look at it after 10 mins 🤦‍♀️). I had this evap line showing (attached a pic) I knew it was evap but I still couldn't help hoping and dreaming that maybe I'm pregnant. Of course af showed and was annoyed at myself.
So it's normal to act or feel not how you want to. Go easy on yourself. Xx

@line123eyesalways yeah good idea to leave it until the morning. The longer you hold the better (says me 😂)

@Charl881 yeah I feel the same. I'd like to get a more sensitive one for when I test next.

@primrosee thanks for your advice. It's so difficult when you get your hopes up isn't it. My plan was to wait until my AF showed this month but I have a clinical appointment to test for NK cells on Friday which I need to confirm my attendance to and I don't want to waste anyone's time if I was to be pregnant. Id rather let someone else have the opportunity. I'll see what happens tomorrow ☺️

@Charl881 I think I'm going to wait til the morning!

@chasingtherainbow1 haha I know it's easier said than done! This pain in my lower back has come back and I'm needing the toilet every hour or so, which is very unusual!!

I think I’m out ladies! Pretty sure AF is on her way bang on schedule. In a way I’m relieved as at least my cycles seem to be returning to being very regular.

I keep toying with the idea of waiting until after Christmas now to try but I’ll probably be back on here in 3.5 weeks trying to see lines that aren’t there again 😂

@Charl881 ah sorry to hear that! Yeah as you say at least they're getting back to normal a bit!

Haha I always think that then I'm straight back on here the following month!!! X

Hi, hows everyone doing, @line123eyesalways are you testing again in the morning, what date is AF due.

@charl881, im sorry to hear that AF seems to be on the way, are you planning on having a break for a few month's.

@chasingtherainbow1, seen your earlier test, very strange that, did that come up straight away, or a while after, or you planning on testing again or going to wait out and see if AF arrives, how many dpo are you now.

Well going by my app 🤔 im only 3dpo, so ive a while to go yet, but don't see it happening this month.
I had my dd 16 months ago, and also have had 2 miscarriages after that, my body probably just isn't ready yet. ( have had 5 miscarriages in total ) .

Wishing yous all good luck and hoping for bfp for yous all x 🤞

@Mamastarz hey! Yeah I'm going to test in the morning! I've probably been to the toilet about 30 times today and that's not even an exaggeration haha!

Sorry to hear about your MCs!! Hopefully it's your month this month! X

@Mamastarz I’m tempted to! I just kind of think enjoy the Christmas period without thinking about it (and enjoying a drink!) My DS is 16 months too and most of the time I think I want a small ish gap but every so often I think maybe I should enjoy having just the one for a bit longer.

But then I get worried and think what if it takes 13 months to conceive like it did with my son or what if there are issues which delay things further.

Sorry to hear about your miscarriages, that must have been tough.

@line123eyesalways, running to the toilet is a good sign, have you got an frer, for the morning ???, im really hoping you get your bfp in the morning. X

@charl881, i totaly understand were you are coming from wanting to wait, but its hard, you want to do one thing but your mind and body's telling you something different. Sometimes they say putting it to the back of your mind helps, but 🙄, im not to sure about that. Has AF arrived yet. X
