8/9DPO Buddies

Hiya,

I'm either 8DPO (according to FF) or 9DPO (according to Premom).

Was just wondering whether anyone else is at a similar stage in their TWW?

I started spotting 6/7DPO, brown dischargy blood. Today, my temperature dipped - not sure if this is implantation or not.

Symptoms so far:

  • Painful cramping in the middle of my pubic area
  • Extreme bloating
  • Very gassy
  • Constipation (sorry if tmi)
  • Short nauseous bursts

Would be nice to support one another :-)

@Dramallama221 I see it but no experience whatsoever with evaps and indents etc so no clue what to look for! I always naively thought a line was a BFP! Then again, never used FRER in first pregnancy and not got any this time either. I just used the OneStep cheapies off Amazon and then confirmed with Clearblue when I got a faint positive!

Welcome @Tottenhaminmyblood - 8dpo is still very early and especially with an opk instead of FRER. You're not out yet!

thank you, not sure why i.bought them because i used clearblue digital last time and just waited to test so there wasnt any of this faffing! lesson learned

Currently 9 dpo and holding off to test again until Friday as I used some tests yesterday and one was invalid and the other negative but I seem to have low hcg with previous pregnancies as even when I miss my period I get faint lines and the doctor had to do blood tests with my daughter as even he was concerned about my hcg levels rising

Gloopyhoop · 15/02/2023 20:01

@Dramallama221 yes!! That is a bfp!!
@Tottenhaminmyblood I wouldn't really pay attention to the opk to detect it early, it needs to be further in to pick anything up I think?
Are you gonna test soon or wait for af?

mama1111 · 15/02/2023 21:51

i’ve only 2 internet cheapies left 😩 AF not due till sunday but that’s my fault for testing at bloody 6dpo

@Gloopyhoop i have just got a very faint line on an opk so am going to run and buy a frer. Where are you on this journey ? Xx

Gloopyhoop · 16/02/2023 07:40

@mama1111 Sunday will soon roll around!
@crazycatladyluce it might be nothing you never know! Would it be unusual for you to start so soon in your cycle?
@Tottenhaminmyblood good luck for the frer! Come back and let us know how it goes? 😉 Im 10dpo today, got a faint line on frer yesterday so going to grab an early digital Clearblue this morning

SnookyPook · 16/02/2023 08:44

Any updates from the early testers? 10dpo here today and still holding out... Couldn't say from symptoms at the mo. Complete mystery!

@Holly03 due to your history of low hcg, why not try holding off until af is due or at least a day late. It will be less stressful. I know for alot of women it is easier said than done.
Good luck to you

confirmed it with an early clearblue digital this morning!! such early days though. got everything crossed for everyone else!

SnookyPook · 16/02/2023 08:49

@Happyhappy39soon40 thanks lovely! I tested at 15dpo with my first and the line was super faint so even if I wanted to test early I don't think it would necessarily show! Only a few more days in limbo!

How are you feeling?! Has it sunk in yet? 😁

@Dramallama221 argh congrats!! 😍

ricketybeauty · 16/02/2023 08:55

I'm same as in terms of (I think, I didn't use OPK's this month) DPO. Anyone with an irregular cycle? I was convinced I was coming on yesterday as I was crampy (and grumpy) all day. It would have been a short cycle for me but not outside the norm. Not really crampy today though which I think is unusual and I feel like I have a lot of CM.

App thinks AF due Sunday.

Okay i see. Few more days to go.

No it hasn't sunk it yet. I don't even know where to start with it all. I have so much deadlines to meet.

congrats to all with the BFP though and those that are managing to hold out x

SnookyPook · 16/02/2023 10:37

@Gloopyhoop congrats lovely!!! No misinterpreting that is there!! 😍

Gloopyhoop · 16/02/2023 10:43

Thankyou girls! 🥰 I did a boots too, that's a lot clearer than the frer (tbh I'm glad I got these, they were £5 cheaper than frers!)
