BFN this morning for me unfortunately :(
clearly an evap or indent yesterday! Felt like I just knew it was too good to be true!

Feel like my body has properly tricked me too as just felt odd since Monday when I had the day of cramping. Hoping that was implantation and I’m just too early to test but definitely wishful thinking and reading too much into it 😂🙈

About 11 dpo today approximately but could be 10. Think its time to wait now and just see what happens. AF due at the weekend.

Grateful for everyone on these threads and the support people give - not sure I could get through the TWW without reading these threads.

Congrats to all those with BFPs - what a month!!

wellhelloitsme · 07/09/2022 08:53

12DPO and gutted I got a BFN this morning 😞

EdinburghGirl1 · 07/09/2022 09:07

@pixiecircle good luck for this morning. Keep us updated.

@Foreverhopeful92 sorry to hear this but it is still early. I had negative at 10dpo and then AF never arrived. Keeping my fingers crossed for you.

@wellhelloitsme sorry it was bfn this morning

@Nichelette congratulations! and the lucky thread continues :)

@Foreverhopeful92 @wellhelloitsme sorry to hear about your bfn. maybe try again in a couple of days time?

Foreverhopeful92 · 07/09/2022 11:37

@EdinburghGirl1 Thank you!! I think I need to just wait and see! Literally the hardest part of the TWW is the last few days for sure!
I’ll be hoping I have a similar situation to you!

Good luck to all those testing the rest of the week and weekend! :) x

EdinburghGirl1 · 07/09/2022 14:32

@Foreverhopeful92 yeah the limbo isn't fun. Hopefully you do

@Foreverhopeful92 @wellhelloitsme sadly joining you both with a BFN today… DP had an accident last night so we been in A+E, which has def taken away the sadness of the BFN. What an absolute troll of a month!! See you both in the June thread xx

Good luck to all those still waiting to test 🙌

wellhelloitsme · 07/09/2022 17:01

Oh god @pixiecircle I hope he's ok?!

Sorry you and @Foreverhopeful92 are both having a blue day too thanks to BFNs.

It just feels endless doesn't it?

Sending positive thoughts Flowers

Foreverhopeful92 · 07/09/2022 18:28

Hope everything is okay @pixiecircle

Hope you have something nice planned this evening xx

@wellhelloitsme thank you! And to you too! X

pixiecircle · 07/09/2022 19:37

@wellhelloitsme @Foreverhopeful92 I meant hope to not see you in the June thread 🙈

Thanks he’s okay, just a broken hand but it could have been a lot worse!! Feeling lucky and just going to take some down time and not think about TTC for a bit. Will be keeping my fingers crossed for you and checking for updates xx

wellhelloitsme · 08/09/2022 09:21

Did my 13DPO test this morning and BFN. Gutted. Sore boobs and the usual cramps I get before AF so I think I'm out for this month. Wish AF would just arrive now so the waiting part is over at least. Harder every month.

😞

Nichelette · 08/09/2022 16:50

Sorry it's not this month @wellhelloitsme 😔. Sorry if you've said before but I lose track on busy posts, how many cycles in are you?

wellhelloitsme · 08/09/2022 17:59

Nichelette · 08/09/2022 16:50

Thank you Flowers

Cycle 8 but I only started using OPKs cycle 7 so I think I wasted lots of time which is so frustrating.

Really had the feeling for the first time this month so it's been extra gutting.

Nichelette · 08/09/2022 21:39

@wellhelloitsme I know it doesn't make it better, but DS took 13 months and it only took 3 this time. I felt the same when it was a no month after month, but I'm sure you will get your BFP soon. This time I found keeping an eye on CM was quite useful too. I think I missed the window last month because I was ovulating later than I thought. Treat yourself to something nice. Maybe next month is the one :)

wellhelloitsme · 08/09/2022 23:04

Thanks so much @Nichelette for your lovely message.

Gosh 13 months must have been so tough, I'm so pleased for you that you have your little ones now Smile

I feel like if I knew that it would definitely happen at some point, even if it was a few years away, I would feel ok.

It's just the panic setting in that's really unsettling me.

Oh for a crystal ball!

Nichelette · 09/09/2022 10:12

@wellhelloitsme If only we could see into the future, would make it way less stressful! Just wanted to share so you and others who are a few cycles in don't lose hope :)

Thank you, it does help to hear Flowers

BethSuz27 · 10/09/2022 12:13

Hi all!

Sorry to impose on your thread, but just need a bit of support!

This is my first cycle trying and I ovulated on CD10 (Positive OPK CD9) so I am currently 8dpo…

I did a test this morning and I think I see the very faintest line on it but I’m also telling myself it’s line eyes!

These are my symptoms (I’m trying so hard not to symptom spot!)

  • Metallic like taste in my mouth that comes and goes
  • I seem to have a slightly strong sense of smell
  • really bad headaches at least once a day
  • I’m so tired I have to have a nap in the day
  • Hip pain, it’s kind of like a dragging sensation in my hip
  • yesterday I had a tingling dull ache in the left side of my lower stomach
  • for the past few days I’ve been craving everything but also not wanting to eat anything
  • I’ve also had strange nausea where the nauseous feeling sits at the top of my stomach or in my throat and lingers
  • I haven’t had constantly painful breasts but I get the occasional sharp tingle in them

i think I’m symptom spotting but I’m just so eager for a baby! I’m thinking I maybe implanted yesterday and that’s what the dull ache in the left side of my low stomach was?
has anyone else had similar and had a BFP?

thankyou so much!
reading these always has me so excited! So happy for the girls with BFP this month!

Beth xx

Aimee1995 · 10/09/2022 16:31

@BethSuz27 I am in a similar boat. I am 9dpo and I have felt very nauseous the last few days and have not been fancying food. I also had spotting for a few hours at 4dpo (which I know is early for implantation) which then stopped!
Think I am going to test tomorrow because I am so desperate to get that BFP!

BethSuz27 · 10/09/2022 16:48

@Aimee1995 i think I’m going to wait to test! I can’t stand to see that BFN again, let us know how your test goes!

HeyDuggeesFavouriteSquirrel · 11/09/2022 10:57

Did a test this morning at 11DPO and a BFN, I know it's not over util AF arrives, but it feels like it is!

wellhelloitsme · 11/09/2022 11:54

AF has arrived 😞

Really struggling to keep my chin up now.

Big congrats to those with BFPs on this thread, it's been an amazing one.

And to those of us who haven't been lucky this time, I'll see you on the next thread 

Babydust99 · 11/09/2022 12:57

Does anyone have the link for the June thread please? I'm not out yet but just want to mark my spot so I can find it in a week or so

Aimee1995 · 11/09/2022 18:10

Tested this morning, 10 DPO and its a BFN but for reasons I cannot explain I am surprisingly chilled about it and will test again in a few days.

Glawen · 12/09/2022 00:34

@wellhelloitsme AF has arrived for me too. I've cried most of the day. I am gutted. Let's pray for next month 🤞🏼 x
