Hey Smile

I'm currently 8/9 DPO and I've had some strange symptoms. Feeling like I've been hit by a train I'm so tried and I'm constantly needing a wee/ feel like I've got a cold. I've had some strange twinges this month, some which felt like strong period pains. I'm trying to work out if I'm ill or if it's a sign of pregnancy?

I tested early at 8 DPO but it was negative ... anyone else waiting to test/ has had strange symptoms?

I'm going insane trying not to test aha Grin

Sign of the times: I felt ‘off’ last week and my first test before a pregnancy one was a covid one Grin both negative… only happy about one being negative though Hmm Grin

Oh girl! It's a nightmare isn't it - I'm debating a covid test too. Sorry to hear about your negative test, sending you lots of baby dust Smile

I'm with you! That feeling of 'coming down with something'...hopefully it's a baby Wink

When are you going to test next?

I'd like to say I'd wait that long! But I will so cave and test sooner, no will power! @PinkFizz1 glad to hear you are COVID free!

PinkFizz1 · 06/09/2021 20:35

Thanks girls!

@LittleBettie if you can, try and hold out another 2 days or so, I know it’s easier said than done, I’d be testing FMU tomorrow because I wouldn’t be able to wait!

Well, I caved this morning and got a negative! I'm due on in 5 days, so we will wait and see. How are you getting on? Have to managed to resist testing? GrinSmile

Well I tested again because I couldn't wait haha! Still negative, so I'm just gonna ride out the next few days before testing again Grin

Well I think I got my dates wrong so may only actually be about 6/7 dpo. I handily have run out of tests, some due to arrive Thursday...so I'll probably test when they turn up 😂

@LittleBettie still early days so plenty of time for bfp! I didn't get a clear one with dd till 11dpo ish.

countryred · 08/09/2021 18:28

How are you ladies doing? Tests arrived today...couldn't help it, took one!!! Even though it's too soon, the afternoon and I'd only just been for a wee!

There is the hintiest hint of a something but not enough to catch on camera so probably just an indent or something. I often seem to get those with the cheapies. Might try again in the morning with fmu though 🤦‍♀️😆

Hey girl! I'm plodding on, I've managed not to test today 😂🥳 3 days and counting tomorrow until AF is due ... I might test in the morning but I'm scared haha!

Ahhhh!!!!! How exciting 💛💛💛 please let me know how tomorrow's test goes, I've got everything crossed for you that you get the biggest BFP ☺️ x

Wow such will power!! Tested this morning but bfn, yesterday must have been one of those silly shadowy bits you sometimes get on the cheapie sticks. Still quite early for me though so not losing hope yet!

@PinkFizz1 how are you getting on?

Blueuggboots · 09/09/2021 07:24

I didn't get a positive test until I was 10 days LATE, so about 20 days PO.

Hi girls, I’m doing ok thanks. Sorry to hear about your bfn. Fingers crossed and baby dust for you both!

I wasn’t actually TTC yet, I’m still on the pill. Due to come off next week, the plan was to try and get my cycle back as I haven’t had periods for about 11 years! And then TTC after Christmas. Buttttt I have been ridiculously broody and want to get the ball rolling so I think we will see what happens after next week!

countryred · 09/09/2021 20:56

Oh good luck @PinkFizz1 it took one cycle for mine to come back and had been on them about 11/12 years too! Then conceived DD on the 3rd cycle. So hopefully it's nice and quick for you too!

We weren't ttc this month but got rather carried away right around ovulation time 😂🤦‍♀️ both quite happy if I do get a bfp though.

I had another shadow line this eve but thought it didn't quite seem right. So as a comparison put another test in some tap water...lo and behold another shadow line! So either these cheap tests always have a slight line or there is something dodgy in my tap water, ha!

Think if I turn out not to be pregnant and we try again, I'm going to steer clear of the one step tests!

countryred · 09/09/2021 20:57

@Blueuggboots wow that's ages after! That must have been annoying being late and not getting a bfp!!

Blueuggboots · 09/09/2021 21:05

@countryred, I was due on the first day of our holiday.....expected AF to arrive throughout the holiday.....came back and tested....negative.
Waited 3 days, got a positive test.

countryred · 09/09/2021 21:10

Just goes to show ta not over till af arrives!

countryred · 14/09/2021 06:54

How are you all ladies. Any news @LittleBettie

Had a faint line again at the weekend with ic. Took a frer this morning...bfp!!!! Can't believe it! Fingers crossed the line progresses and it sticks. A bit in shock tbh, shown up so much later than dd so was convinced I was out this month.

Baby dust for you guys.

Ckhw · 14/09/2021 07:01

@countryred congratulations!!

I am currently 8/9dpo with the exact symptoms you listed on your op @LittleBettie, any update???
