8DPO… anyone else!

This is my first cycle TTC #1, I’m currently 8DPO and wondering if anyone else is also enduring this waiting game!

When are you planning to test?

I'm also 8dpo, been trying for over a year. Tested this morning, as I'm impatient! Negative, no surprise.

Currently symptom spotting though, which drives me crazy and gets my hopes up.

When are you going to test?

Hi, I’m 7DPO and also driving myself crazy symptom spotting! It’s so hard not to!

I’ve not been counting cycles but it’s been well over a year. I have been prescribed Letrozole which failed at a lower dose last month but I really think it’s worked this time. I should have the results to my blood test on Friday so no doubt I’ll cave and test if it’s good news!

Otherwise I’m away at the weekend so I’ll hold out to Monday.

Yes I tested this morning as well, knew it would be negative but couldn’t help it!

@Pixiedusted it’s so easy to symptom spot isn’t it, I’m doing the same and it’s driving me crazy so trying to chill a bit now…

I’d like to say I’ll wait now until Saturday to test but in reality I’ll probably keep testing every morning 🤪🤞🏻

9Dpo today and got a bfn :-( I did have some light brown ewcm this afternoon though so it could be OB or pre-period spotting. I'm keeping everything crossed it's IB.

Warning, pic of the discharge/spotting/IB below..

8DPO… anyone else!
Surreymumma · 12/10/2022 19:38

I'm 9 dpo! Fingers crossed for everyone

TTC94 · 12/10/2022 20:08

5DPO here. The TWW is always soooo long! I’ll try to wait until at least 12DPO x

Rhian1991 · 12/10/2022 22:56

Hi, I'm also 8dpo!!! I hate this waiting game. I'm thinking about testing maybe 10 or 11dpo?! Have you had many symptoms? 🤗

ckpm · 13/10/2022 02:29

sending all the positive vibes to you @Vikki7 @Surreymumma @Rhian1991 @TTC94 🤍✨

I’m using cheap early tests I think I will end up doing one every day and then will use a CB early on 11DPO 🥰

Rhian1991 · 13/10/2022 04:02

Thank you @ckpm - sensing you lots of baby dust back!! Has anyone been getting cramping?

Ncl31 · 13/10/2022 06:49

I’m 10dpo now, BFN on day 8 - not surprising but I’d had cramping on day 7 with slight spotting of very pale pink. Then had some gummy brown discharge (see below) on day 8.
AF is due next Wednesday, I’ve got everything crossed but have been symptom spotting as I just can’t help it.

8DPO… anyone else!

Rhian1991 · 13/10/2022 11:22

I caved at 9dpo... I'm not sure if there's the faintest of lines or whether I'm clutching at straws 😂😂 I will test tomorrow too!

8DPO… anyone else!
Pixiedusted · 13/10/2022 12:29

@ckpm it’s so hard to chill though isn’t it. I did a lot of core work in the gym last night so that pain is distracting me from thinking it’s implantation pain!

Did you test this morning? Fingers crossed this is our month 🤞

ckpm · 13/10/2022 16:47

I got another BFN on a cheapie this morning but been having some cramping today and my nipples are so sore! But trying not to overthink things and actually feel like the longer the days go on the less hopeful I become 😂 but time will tell!

Rhian1991 · 13/10/2022 17:07

Yeah, I tested this morning but I new it would be negative but I couldn't stop myself. I'll do another one tomorrow and so on from there. I'm really hoping we both get our positives this month. Ive been having cramps and my boons have been painful on and off.

TtcMoll · 13/10/2022 18:12

Hello! I’m 9dpo today, 5th cycle, ttc baby #1 symptom spotting is driving me mad! Trying to hold out until AF is due before I test but I’m likely to cave 😂

Rhian1991 · 13/10/2022 18:15

What symptoms have you experienced?

TtcMoll · 13/10/2022 18:27

@Rhian1991 Sore boobs, but that’s normal for me, but then I start questioning if they’re sore in a different way to normal 😂 feeling more tired than I normally would, and had a few twinges which go as quickly as then come, so god knows!
Have you had many symptoms?

Rhian1991 · 13/10/2022 18:31

@TtcMoll I honestly feel like I'm driving myself mad. Like you I am questioning every slight twinge or ache/pain 😂 I'm not sure if I normally feel like this but just don't notice it however perhaps I'm more in tune with my body this month because I want to see signs and symptoms. It's crazy isn't it. I've had constant cramping for about 4 days. My boobs have had twinges and pains since yesterday but it isn't a constant ache or pain. I have had waves of nausea since yesterday but that comes and goes so I haven't a clue!?

TtcMoll · 13/10/2022 18:59

@Rhian1991 Fingers crossed we start getting some positive signs! Are those symptoms normal for your regular cycle? It’s so hard when early pregnancy and AF symptoms are so similar 😩

Rhian1991 · 13/10/2022 19:05

I honestly never notice any symptoms at all which is why this is strange for me. I'm under no illusion that your mind can play tricks on you though. Perhaps I'm not feeling any of this? Who knows. It's so horrible because you doubt your own body and feelings constantly.

TtcMoll · 13/10/2022 19:23

@Rhian1991 Tell me about it! The first month we were trying I had completely convinced myself that I was pregnant, so now I just always doubt everything, but I always have that hope in the back of my mind!

Rhian1991 · 13/10/2022 19:29

Yes, I think its something that can consume you. Sending lots of baby dust and good wishes!
