Expected 23 August. Currently 10 DPO

[ALittleOCD]

Gosh I am absolutely driving myself dilly this cycle. Anyone else expecting AF next Monday? I have been incredibly impatient and have been testing.. All proper BFN's so far.. holding out hope though

@ALittleOCD I'm currently 8 dpo and it is dragging. I tested this morning as I am going crazy 😬🙈 obviously bfn! Don't know how I will get through the next few days 🤦

@ALittleOCD me too! 10DPO and BFN so far.
TWW driving me bonkers this month!

@Skl2021@Chocco94 I actually can't understand how people get these bright obvious double lines at 8/9 DPO.. It makes me feel like my body has no idea what it's doing.. just waiting around and wasting time.

@ALittleOCD with my previous pregnancies the earliest I even got a hint of a line was 12dpo! So I don't know how people get them so early 🙈🤔 I know I should wait until then to test but I have no self control. This cycle is making me crazy don't know why! Do u test everyday x

Yes, me! 10 DPO and a negative test this morning

@ALittleOCD I feel like a lot of people are a couple of days further along then they think when those lines come up! Probably an unpopular opinion on these forums haha.
I'm an Aussie and currently in lockdown, so have limited things to keep my mind preoccupied!
I feel like I'm out this month, but always a bit of a pessimist at the best of times 😂

@Skl2021 I really would like to say that I don't and that I have self control but yup.. Every morning when I wake up a dip a stick. Just to see.

I had a miscarriage in March and I only got my BFP at 17 DPO so I am hoping to catch it a little earlier this time so I can go get my progesterone support pills earlier and hopefully have a better outcome.

@Knittingupastorm Well you're welcome to throw your crazy thoughts here so they aren't knocking around in your head.

@Chocco94 I do think you must be right. It's still early.. you never know. Will hold fingers for you. I do wish we could just hit fast forward so that we know. Why does it have to be 2 WHOLE weeks.

@ALittleOCD haha you sound like me I also have no self control good job I have aload of cheapies to satisfy my poas addiction 🤣🤦 sorry to hear about the miscarriage. Hopefully this time u have a happy outcome when you start the progesterone 🤞🤞 xx

Hey all, watching and joining this thread as AF is due next Thu - Aug 26.

We're on our very first cycle TTC. I used the Clear Blue ovulation tests and go a static smiley on Aug 10, DTD that day and I think today should be my 8 DPO.
I don't know if I'm being crazy and in my own head, but I've experienced pangs of nausea over the past few days; feelings of heaviness and fullness; fatigue and lower back aches...all sounds very on track for AF. I haven't done a test yet, as I know it's probably way way too early still, but wondering if I should do a FRER Sat morning (5 days before AF) OR try to wait and do one next week / 1-3 days before AF.... Any advice?
PS I have a drawer full of tests and it's such a temptation every time I go to the bathroom!!
PPS Good luck to you all!!! Sending lots of baby dust!

I'm also 10dpo... I stupidly tested yesterday and of course BFN.

With my first pregnancy I got a positive on a frer on what I believe to have been 10dpo.

I'm not going to test until Sunday or night just wait to see if AF shows up. Thing is I stopped BF early last month so it was my first pp period, I'm just hoping my cycles are a normal length!

@Shterber @Aoife0906 Welcome Ladies!! May the baby dust be in your favour this month

I tested this morning again, 11DPO. Not even a squinter. Really feeling down about it today but won't give up yet.

@ALittleOCD, totally not an expert but as someone wiser than me said, until AF comes everything is possible!!!

I am either 8 or 9 DPO, and had the stupid impulse to test this morning. Ask me why. Ask me. I have no answer. Obviously it was a BFFFFN, the strip was as white as white can be. I'm disappointed, but not surprised, obviously it's super duper early and still my AF is 7 days away, so these FRER tests won't even catch anything yet. I'm trying to convince myself to leave it and test again on Mon morning at the earliest....but then again I might be here again tomorrow morning with another BFN. Ughhhh why is the waiting so excruciating.

@Shterber don't be too hard on yourself. I do that EVERY month. I completely gave in this month and have been testing every morning since 8dpo because I don't know if I could keep it together if I didn't

@ALittleOCD ahhh totally!! The irony is I was going to be this cool, calm and collected "it happens when it happens" person. . LOL.

@ALittleOCD Hope your feeling ok. Don't give up yet it's not over until af shows!! I don't know what's happening with me I'm 9 dpo and I'm getting positive opks 🤦 don't know if this is a good sign or if I'm ovulating again 🙄 I thought I saw a very very faint line on my hpt but I could have line eyes 🤦 xx

Hey, hope ok to join, in tww again AF due around 30th, get married 29th August, ttc for a year, sadly experienced two losses, mmc in January at 12.5 weeks found out via scan and miscarriage at 6 weeks in march, nothing since not even a evap line, feel like losing my mind a little. had pains in my lower back (left side) since 2po and constant pulling sensation since 4dpo this cycle, also had more CM which is unusual for me, probably my body playing tricks but heres hoping its our rainbow settling in. xxx

@ALittleOCD sorry to hear about your miscarriage, our rainbows are on the way. xxx

Hey, jumping on this thread as AF due Monday and I’ve done a FRER and BFN! This is our first cycle ttc and I’ve only been using my health app to track ovulation. I can usually set my clock by my cycle which is 28 days so figured I would be ok using my health app as a guide. I have children from a previous marriage. Me and my partner were childhood sweethearts who have thankfully reconnected and he has no kids. I’m 35 and he’s 36 so this time I’m feeling the pressure regarding our ages and conception! I really wanted to just see what happens and not obsess but you gals know what it’s like! I’ve got all the usual suspect symptoms and I just want to know!! I had no trouble conceiving previously and no mc’s so I really am lucky! Hope we all have some good news soon

@LeeTTCRainbow Welcome welcome. I am so sorry to hear about your losses. I really hope we have our rainbows on their way soon before their mommies lose their minds.

@Skl2021 I actually don't know what the positive OPK's at this point would mean? I used the clearblue ones this month and went straight from a blank circle to static smiley. Had a static smiley for 3 days straight before I stopped using them because i thought surely I can't be fertile for more than 3 days in a row.

Wouldn't it be nice if there was a bit more thought put into the information leaflets to guide us in the event that these things happen

@ALittleOCD I know in some people it can indicate pregnancy or u can also get a lh surge before af arrives. 🤦. IV never had them this positive in the tww though 🤔 guess il have to DTD just incase it is ovulation again or keep waiting out and see if my tests get darker. Wish I had some frer 🙈 xx

Hi ladies!

9 or 10 DPO for me today. Did a FRER with FMU and got a BFN. AF due on Thu. Starting to feel a little disappointed. I was so sure I was experiencing “symptoms” but it’s probably just in my head. 🙁

Hey ladies 😬 I am in total shock 🤯 can't believe it's happening 😭😭 today's tests at 10 dpo xx

@Skl2021 10 DPO!! WOWEE!! Look at those lines.. HUGE congratulations to you!!

Are you feeling any symptoms?

@ALittleOCD I know I can't believe how strong the lines are I never get lines this early! I took more tests at yesterday at 11 dpo IL attach the pic 🙈 well looking back I had sore back sore boobs I was spotty but there similar to af so didn't think anything off it 🤦 since Iv got the positive tests I feel lots of like little niggly pains in my lower stomach bit like stretching. Hope it sticks I'm 12 dpo today 🤞🤞 x

@Skl2021 Congratulation again (friends on another group) you have amazing strong lines, wishing you a wonderful pregnancy.

Update on me- still suffering with left side back pain, yesterday (7 or 8dpo) had some intense cramps for about an hour, felt like AF but had no bleeding or anything, but felt wet below so went to check but was just loads of (TMI) CM (this is odd for me) pain back is there still but not as bad or im just getting used to it as had since 2po. oh and sleep im struggling, last two nights barely slept i want too but cant (could be nerves for wedding)

Also dont want meals, not had dinner for 3 nights now, rather snack foods so bizarre.

Keep us updated on your journey. xxxxxx
