@Havanalily1806 ha you and i both! we are the least parental type people and love our freedom. We are close in our cycle, and will likely test at the same time more or less. How many dpo were you counting on testing by?

@NSx oh yes, ttc is a game we have to take day by day unfortunately. But it's a good sign nonetheless

Hello! Glad I managed to find this thread! I’m 3dpo on cycle 12. Trying to stay positive how’s everyone feeling? The tww is the worst

EdinburghGirl1 · 26/08/2022 15:06

Ok I caved and Judy took a cheapie test and was bfn. I totally expected that so I'm ok although at that point you can't help but be a little hopeful in the moment. Oh well at least is I can just try forget about it all over the weekend

@EdinburghGirl1 aww hun! You're 10DPO aren't you? So there's still hope! Xxx

EdinburghGirl1 · 26/08/2022 15:13

Congrats to the new BFPsGrin

My FRER was finally delivered and it's BFN. Sigh.

I haven't had anymore symptoms and just have a sore throat so I'm guessing it's an actual cold!

This is month 8 now after my MMC and I'm utterly fed up.

NSx · 26/08/2022 15:24

@ExPatHereForAChat how many dpo are u? Sorry for your BFN 😩

@NatGee ttc is the most mind boggling exhausting thing there is 😂😅😅😅 drains u emotionally

@EdinburghGirl1 its still early days but I get what u mean. I’ve ruled myself out & I’ve not really tested - but I wouldn’t trust those IC tests tho . 🤪

ExPatHereForAChat · 26/08/2022 15:27

@NSx 9 or 10dpo. I've had BFPs before at this stage (with DS and with my MMC) so I can't help but believing that's me out.

I was so hopeful the Fertilily would do the trickGrin

NSx · 26/08/2022 15:38

@ExPatHereForAChat which tests are u using ? X

Alice1608 · 26/08/2022 16:00

@EdinburghGirl1 aww I know how you feel, but it's not over until AF arrives, so crossing fingers for you until then. @ExPatHereForAChat I'm so sorry to hear about your struggles and talking is the best method! So please always come here for a chat and I'm wishing you every success with your journey and hope it happens really soon! Xxxx

Havanalily1806 · 26/08/2022 18:45

@Nichelette haha I think we would be the exact same! We've had a little nephew for over a year now and I think he's definitely given me a little insight and push in that direction

@NatGee ah will this be your first too? How many cycles have you been trying if you don't mind me asking? In my head, I was going to wait until AF would be due.. but we will see how that goes 😅 what about you?

LavenderWillow · 26/08/2022 18:46

@EdinburghGirl1 thanks for starting this thread!
wrote a whole message out then my phone refreshed! 🙈

congrats to all those liners out there - I can definitely see a few!!

I’m 9 DPO today - I did a FRER this morning but bfn, blank as anything! 😂 don’t know why I did it to myself!

after my cramps/bloating/wind on 7dpo, I was feeling better yesterday.
but this morning had some spotting and some twinges, and headache coming on now. I’m also convinced I have a metallic taste in my mouth…. Definitely symptom spotting!

also been in bed at 8.30 every night sleeping through till 6 - not the norm for me but back at school teaching this week so maybe that is causing the tiredness!

nit sure whether to test tomorrow or wait till Sunday - it’s so tempting!

Alice1608 · 26/08/2022 18:54

@LavenderWillow hi! I'm 9DPO today also and tested this morning and BFN! Crushing!
I will he waiting until Monday at 11DPO to test next and if that's negative will test maybe if AF doesn't turn up on Wednesday. Its a waiting game which is torture!
I'm cramping, nauseaous, bloating, loss of appetite.. but most of all so thirsty no matter what I eat and constipated all week. So if I'm not pregnant, I have no idea what's going on! Lol xxx

bossgirl94 · 26/08/2022 18:55

@Alice1608 is Sunday not 11dpo?

Alice1608 · 26/08/2022 19:03

@bossgirl94 yes!!! Going mad! Maybe testing Sunday or Monday, I don't know which though lol xxx

bossgirl94 · 26/08/2022 19:07

@Alice1608 you're not the first person to say Monday was 11dpo with today being 9 I thought there was some weird thing where Sunday's don't count 😂😂

Alice1608 · 26/08/2022 19:09

@bossgirl94 this is sending me mad!!!! When are you testing next? Xxx

bossgirl94 · 26/08/2022 19:11

@Alice1608 it was meant to be Sunday but I know I have no self restraint especially as I am convinced there was a very faint line on my test today

Alice1608 · 26/08/2022 19:33

@bossgirl94 aww amazing, so you're testing in the AM? Please keep me posted?
I can't ever see faint lines on tests, they all look negative to me. Lol I can only see them when they are properly there for some reason. It's annoying!
I have been feeling nausea all week, but thinking maybe it's anxiety over all this.. anyways today someone rubbed antibac cleaner over the handles in the train and the smell was so strong to me I not only felt sick but shivered as if I was going to throw up lol 🙃 and the thirst constantly! It's doing my head in! Lol xxx

Nypie · 26/08/2022 20:02

@EdinburghGirl1 we did end up dtd after deciding we'd just leave it have some food yet. I've now put a new worry in my head dp has that varicose veins in the balls and I didnt realise that, that could be a cause of infertility now I think will invest in tests to check and probably shouldnt have too much sex when trying. Ah. Sorry to hear your test was nagative you deaerve those 2 lines and I hope you get them soon!

@CDD1992 I think I see something 🤞🤞🤞

Best of luck for everyone waiting for their test to darken

💐💐 For the BFNs and congrats to BFPS

2bm · 26/08/2022 23:03

@EdinburghGirl1 @ExPatHereForAChat @LavenderWillow @Alice1608 sorry for the BFNs, hopefully it’s still early enough to get a BFP 🤞

2bm · 26/08/2022 23:06

I did another internet cheapie and it was lighter than the one from earlier which panicked me so I did a frer which has a very decent line. Hopefully, this is a sticky one 🤞

Alice1608 · 26/08/2022 23:12

@2bm that's a beautiful line honey! Xx

Alice1608 · 27/08/2022 06:29

@bossgirl94 caved as my cramps and other general symptoms are so bad now, I'm needing to see the line to reassure me I'm.not losing my marbles on my otherwise predictable body! So 10DPO BFN!! Maybe it's because they are dud tests, maybe I can't see them that I already said, maybe I'm just going nuts and not pregnant at all. I'm driving myself mad! Xxx

EdinburghGirl1 · 27/08/2022 06:41

@2bm that is a lovely like.

@Alice1608 sorry it was a bfn today. It's so hard isn't it
