I can't help myself 🫣 @HannahLouD

I tested today as thought the throwing up was a bit random

These tests are giving really bad evaps 🙄 useless things

Got my fingers crossed for you! Maybe get a frer as they say you can test 6 days before your missed period... Which would be today for me. Holding out for one more day...
The suspense it literally killing me though. Can't concentrate on anything, which is ridiculous I know! 😅

BambiBooBoo · 19/01/2023 11:46

@HannahLouD you have more self restraint than me for waiting to test 😂
I have no idea when AF will start as my cycles are long and irregular app is saying anywhere between 29th Jan-3rd feb to start 🙄

It's so hard though isn't it!? I've literally been wishing the days away so I can test. I think I need to calm down and just live in the present 😅🙈🤦🏻‍♀️
Keep us updated and I hope you get your bfp soon! (And stop being sick!)
I also had HG with my DD (now nearly 5) and it was awfulllll!! So I hope we don't go through that again this time round!!

BambiBooBoo · 19/01/2023 12:05

@HannahLouD same here 🫣

Thank you. Tho I doubt I'll manage to avoid being sick if I am pregnant. 1 baby out of 3 pregnancies and I had HG EVERY time. Just my luck 😂🙄

Fingers crossed for your BFP 🤞🏻🤞🏻

Oh no bless you that's awful!
Thank you! And to you! Will update in the morning... 😬🤞

@HannahLouD you’ve got good will power! I’m going to try and wait until Saturday - AF due on Sunday….

Thanks but I really don't think I do! 😅🙈 I originally told my self I'd wait til af was due, then decided on Saturday and now tomorrow 🤦🏻‍♀️🙈😂😂
Let us know how you get on over the weekend and 🤞!

kalixxx · 19/01/2023 13:51

@HannahLouD if it makes you feel any better I’ve just gone out to get a FRER to test this afternoon 🤦🏼‍♀️ impatient is an understatement!

Aha amazing! We are all so impatient 🙈😂
Are you going to take it this afternoon or with fmu tomorrow?

kalixxx · 19/01/2023 14:34

@HannahLouD I just did it, only held urine for about 3.5 hours but I was desperate for a wee! BFN of course 🙄 at first I was convinced there was a line now I’m just convinced I’m going insane 😂

Ah I'm sorry! Try again tomorrow with fmu??
See this is the thing... Obviously I'm really hoping I get my bfp, but if not, I really hope it's completely white so there's no chance I can kid myself into thinking "maybe" 😅🙈🤦🏻‍♀️

kalixxx · 19/01/2023 14:59

@HannahLouD I’m going to try and wait till Saturday but I’ll probably cave tomorrow morning 😅

I know what you mean!! I’ve honestly stared at it for so long and anyone would say that’s a clear BFN but there’s a slight part that thinks there a line (wishful thinking 😂)

Yolo23 · 19/01/2023 15:11

Hello ladies! I’m due AF on Monday (currently 11dpo) and had a bit of brown in my EWCM this afternoon - not as much as when I had spotting with my chemical BFP in November but I definitely felt a bit sick this morning.

From the tonnes of research I’ve done, in case it helps… implantation normally happens 6 to 12 days past ovulation and then it takes some time for the HCG levels to rise. Id definitely avoid early testing if you can (I didn’t have a BFP until 13dpo and then it was a BFN 15dpo). Save yourself the worry, uncertainty and money if you can 🥰❤️ wishing you all BFPs this month!

Eeek fingers crossed for you and very impressive will power you have! 😬😅

Yeah, I've read that about implantation... I don't understand then how frer tests say they are 96% accurate from 5 days before your missed period?!

I know holding out until I do/don't miss my period is the most sensible thing to do all round... But it's just so easy to take a frer when it's sitting there in your drawer waiting 😅😂

Good luck this month to you! 🤞

Yolo23 · 19/01/2023 18:56

@HannahLouD 😊 thank you! You too, where you at currently in your cycle??

I think it is definitely easier said than done but if you experience a chemical, it’s sort of once bitten, twice shy 😆🫠 makes it that bit easier to hold out! It looks as though my HCG levels rise very near to AF so I know 13dpo is the time to test if I am feeling keen bean 🤣

I can’t wait until all this bloody testing and working out dates and research is over mind you… genuinely how people seem to do it on a wim is mind blowing to me! 😂

HannahLouD · 19/01/2023 19:50

I'm only 9/maybe 10dpo so tomorrow would be the most of 11dpo 🙈
My literal only slight way I'm justifying testing early is that tmi but I've been having problems with my nipples... Extremely sensitive and sore, the bumps around them are extremely prominent and almost white and also I've had some milky type discharge leak from them when having a hot shower (if I squeeze them they leak too. 😶😅) So I saw the Dr about it and before they take bloods tomorrow (to check my hormone levels incase I have increased prolactin) they have asked me to do a test to rule that out. But when I went to see them (Monday) it was too early, obviously.

But yes, I'm also fully aware that testing early could give a false negative or false hope if it ends in a chemical... I'm absolutely just being impatient and will regret it in the morning when it's inevitably a bfn...
Next month, if/when it comes to it, I'll try to hold out for longer... I've just got it in my head now that tomorrow is the day so I have to do it 🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🙈😂😂

HannahLouD · 19/01/2023 10:50

OP - any update? Have you tested?

Hey all loved reading these! I’m 6 days away from AF I’ve done a cheap sainsburys freedom test and it’s negative. Very tired by 6pm so who knows! I am now going to the route of every day we are doing ‘insem’ when we are too tired to DTD that way I’m maximizing chances. We got the tube and syringes off Amazon! Other half’s idea!

Yolo23 · 19/01/2023 20:16

@HannahLouD sounds very complex! Glad you’re being checked out though and I’ve heard a few of those symptoms be because of pregnancy so you never know!!

I know why you mean about having your mindset on testing 🤣 once you’ve decided… I’m gonna probably do it a few days early (as in 13dpo) just to manage expectations - if I ever get a BFP again, I’ll always air on the side of caution and won’t be able to wait to be fairly confident until I have a scan but at this stage I’m fully expecting a long road ahead - it’s been long already so bracing myself 🥰

Ella31 · 19/01/2023 21:39

Hi ladies, can I join. Quick bit about me. I'm 8dpo tomorrow, had a mc in August, started trying again 3 cycles ago. Hoping this one will work. Should I test tomorrow?

Yolo23 · 19/01/2023 23:42

@Ella31 Heey! Of course 😊 so sorry to hear about your mc last year 😩

if it were me, I would wait until 10/11 at the very least! As implantation is normally between 6 and 12… and it takes a while for HCG to build so it would have to be super strong to show at such an early stage!

if you can hold off until 13, that’s the timeframe you get the best result outside of 14dpo x good luck!

Saphyre · 20/01/2023 01:00

Hey ladies, hope you don't mind me joining. Currently 11dpo, and month #8 of TTC. Don't know how I've managed to stay away from the tests - I'm usually at it from 8dpo!! From around 3dpo, I've been having very vivid scary dreams daily! My thighs have been really achey and I have this v dull sore back ache which won't budge. Only 1 sore boob though. Hoping this is the month😊

HannahLouD · 20/01/2023 06:47

Well... It's not my month ladies.
I know some of you may say it's still early and I know I'm only 10/11dpo but my frer just now was as white as a sheet (minus the control like, of course). I feel like if it was ever going to show anything it would at least have a tiny bit of a squinter. Gutted to be honest. But onwards and upwards I guess!

Thanks for the chats and support all and sending baby dust to you! ✨

kalixxx · 20/01/2023 08:10

@HannahLouD dont lose hope completely this month! I’ve read lots of stories on here of women not getting their BFP till after the missed period!!

I just done another FRER and it’s got an absolute squinter of a line, so faint I’m pretty sure it’s an evap line ☹️ will 100% wait out testing until next week now (I hope😂)

Yeah, I know... I know it's possible and has happened to people, but it's literally as white as snow, I just can't imagine a line ever showing up 😅 (although there's a slight evap an hour later 🙄) if af doesn't come on time, I'll test again then... But just gonna tell myself that I'm out this month to avoid further disappointment when inevitably does arrive. And try to not test early next month... I say that now 😂🤦🏻‍♀️

A mean, a squinter is more than I got so got my fingers crossed for you! 🤞 Try and hold out for a couple more days if you can!? Says me... Hahaha x

kalixxx · 20/01/2023 08:29

@HannahLouD when is AF due for you again? I don’t why we do it testing early, I do the tests thinking this is a silly idea, but continue to do it 😅😂 keeping my fingers crossed for you!!

Last Friday I had some stabbing pain which I thought could be me ovulating late, my cycles range from 29-34 days so that would be normal for me. So I’m hoping maybe I’m only 7DPO so it’s still so early, maybe I need to stop with the wishful thinking though 😂 I’m going to try and wait till Monday now!
