@TTCjourney2021

Anybody gunna test tomorrow? I don't know whether to wait but AF isnt due untill Tuesday for me! It seems so far away haha!!
I'm tempted to tomorrow but I'd only be 8dpo so I know it would just be setting myself up for a fall! But it's hard to resist isn't it
TTCjourney2021 · 07/10/2021 22:48

Ah still lots of time for a bfp yet!! Yes it's very hard!! I literally don't have a single symptom but I also never get AF symptoms either! No sore boobs/cramps etc for me! So it's just a waiting game for either! I may wait untill Saturday too!! Good luck for anyone who does!

I convinced myself I was having implantation pains earlier but my hubby was like emmm I think that's more likely to be the pizza you just gobbled down haha he's most likely right!!

Hi ladies hope you don’t mind me jumping in and joining you all Smile I’m 9DPO today, so would have been 4DPO when OP originally posted!

It’s my first cycle trying with my current partner - but I had a MMC followed by another unsuccessful pregnancy (that one was a bit more upsetting - baby had anencephaly) around 5 years ago with an ex. I’m 36 now, have stage 4 endo, adenomyosis and PCOS. My period are regular, but cycles are pretty long (32-35 days) - so all in all, feeling quite anxious about what our chances are! I guess with me not skipping periods I’ve always assumed that I’m at least ovulating, but have since read that isn’t necessarily the case 😞

I haven’t really been very proactive about enhancing our chances this month - we didn’t use pre-seed, OPKS or measure BBT. But I’ve been using Glow to track my cycles pretty meticulously for a couple of years now, so have their estimates for my most fertile time and just made sure we had plenty of attempts around then!!! I think I had EWCM… never been entirely clear on exactly what that is supposed to look like?! It was clear, stretchy - almost jelly-like.

I tested on Wednesday morning (obviously far too early 😩) and again on Thursday night - not even FMU. Both BFN… I knew it was too early to test, but couldn’t help feeling a bit crushed anyway. I’m going to try to hold out for Saturday morning now, and to stay positive - my period won’t start for another 5 days or so - so there’s still time!

I feel like I’ve had some early preg symptoms over the past 48 hours or so that I had the last two times I was pregnant - constipated (normally, I have pretty much continuous diarrhoea thanks to the endo Blush so it’s a pleasant break from that if nothing else LOL!), needing to pee all the time and boobs are starting to look quiet veiny. Having said that, I’ve also had pretty bad back pain and cramps, which with endo is what I’d normally expect at this point in my cycle (CD27).

Sorry for the huge post and overshare!! Going a bit crazy over here and overanalysing everything 😩 Sending all the good vibes and love to everybody testing this week ❤️

Peauela · 08/10/2021 06:55

@firsttimeTTC2021 Haha! 😂

firsttimeTTC2021 · 08/10/2021 09:28

Of course I caved at 8dpo, and BFN. Feeling a bit deflated but know it's very early! So will try again. Had initially said I'd wait until Sunday for testing, which would be 10dpo, so will try again then.

Happy Friday everyone! Baby dust to you all xx

Charl881 · 08/10/2021 10:05

@sparkleghost welcome! Sorry to hear about your previous losses and fingers crossed for you this time. That does sound like EWCM, try stretching it with your fingers next time (grim I know, but a good indicator!)

I’m 9dpo today. Definitely testing tomorrow morning at 10dpo but I will probably cave and test tonight too 🙈 I’m then away for two nights until Monday afternoon so I won’t be resting for a couple of days and by then I’ll know if AF is late or not!

Can’t wait to hopefully start seeing some BFPs pop up on this thread!

RunningOnHope · 08/10/2021 10:46

Welcome @sparkleghost, hope all goes well for you this month! Sorry about your BFN @firsttimeTTC2021 - as you say, very early days yet. We definitely deserve some BFPs in the next few days!

My spotting is still there, a day and a half now, still pink and only on wiping. But I'm resigning myself to it probably being a long slow AF preview, rather than implantation.

GingerbreadTM · 08/10/2021 10:52

Hi everyone sorry I've been very quiet this week, I've been super busy with work and after dinner I'm showering and going straight to bed 😴

I'm 10 or 12 dpo not to sure what was the actual day of ovulation but I haven't tested again because I'm terrified of another BFN.

My symptoms have settled down a lot, although I've still got sore boobs (probably pms) tired and emotional.

Hi 👋🏼 to everyone that has joined this week I hope you all are ok 🧡

BellatrixK · 08/10/2021 13:19

Hello everyone.
I’m 10dpo today (I think- just going from apps) and I’m really tempted to test tomorrow. Just on a cheap test…
🤞🤞 for us all!

BethTTC · 08/10/2021 14:03

11DPO also a BFN on an IC. Think I'm out 😔

Peauela · 08/10/2021 14:05

@BethTTC sorry to hear That... let's wait together and if this month we're out, we can do next one together and hopefully see our BFP 🤞🏻

Peauela · 08/10/2021 18:42

Well That was quick... AF has arrived so im out 😂

sparkleghost · 08/10/2021 19:34

Thanks so much @Charl881 and @RunningOnHope!

So sorry to hear that AF arrived for you @Peauela 😞 - let’s hope next month is your month! Good luck for tomorrow @BellatrixK! I’ll cross my fingers for a late positive for you @BethTTC!

Against my better judgement (I never learn!) I tested again this morning and got another BFN. Not even a faint line! I’m not expecting AF for another 4-7 days yet and am 10DPO tomorrow, so I’m hoping I’ve just been too keen & testing too early.

How are you lovely ladies getting along? Anybody else cave in or are you all waiting until tomorrow?

RunningOnHope · 08/10/2021 20:20

Ah sorry @Peauela. Chin up and on to the next one!

One wipe more of pink spotting tonight but it's so faint, I've never had this slow a build up to AF before. Its so hard not to imagine its implantation still (Google suggests implantation could cause up to 3 days of spotting, which would be tomorrow evening) but I really need it to properly stop before I feel optimistic!

Trying not to test tomorrow and just see what happens with spotting, but so tempted to try. I'll be 10dpo. How about you @sparkleghost, when will you try again?

Charl881 · 08/10/2021 21:01

@Peauela sorry to hear that! Fingers crossed for the next cycle for you.

@sparkleghost nine dpo today and also tested! Will test tomorrow morning too then not until Monday when AF is due. I just don’t feel pregnant this month though.

Several of us 10dpo tomorrow… surely one of us needs to get a BFP in the next few days

ItsSunnyOutside · 08/10/2021 21:23

Hi all,

I think I'm 10dpo today {trying a relaxed approach this month, so did not track this cycle}
No obvious symptoms, boobs are not sore, no cramping, not much cm. I've had a sore throat and cough all week {my 1st cold in 3 1/2 years! Not covid, already tested!} so feeling abit crappy. I don't think this is our month.

When I was pregnant with my DD, I had quite alot of tell tale signs {except no sore boobs} I just didn't realise at the time!

Good luck everyone, I hope you get your bfp soon x

ItsSunnyOutside · 08/10/2021 21:24

*meant to say, I didn't use opks this month. Still tracked other signs of ov.

RunningOnHope · 08/10/2021 21:35

Gooduck @ItsSunnyOutside, a relaxed cycle sounds a good idea. I am already thinking I need to find ways to chill out about it next month because it's just dominated the last 3 weeks for me which is not sustainable....

You're right @Charl881, we definitely deserve a BFP or 3 for this group!

BellatrixK · 09/10/2021 07:18

Good luck to everyone testing today.

I got woken up early by a crying puppy so tested at about 4am. I think there’s a line there! But I have been here before, so for not I’m just cautiously optimistic.

I think I’m 11dpo. I haven’t had any symptoms so far except tiredness and a really bad cough (has to have a PCR, but negative luckily!).

5dpo 2WW with me?
TTCjourney2021 · 09/10/2021 07:35

@BellatrixK awww yay!! That looks like our first positive of the group!! Congratulations!
