Could do with people to get through the 2ww with!

DH is away and back on Saturday so hoping to test Friday / Saturday at the earliest and don't want to cave sooner

Hi! I’m 4DPO. In my head I’m waiting until Sunday but I know it’s not happening 🤦‍♀️ have ordered FRER and don’t come until end of week (purposely) so hoping I can hold out.

this is month 3 TTC.

i know it’s probably too early but any symptoms? I don’t feel great but it’s all in my head probably…!

JoRobyn · 27/02/2023 08:42

Morning ladies! I'm 5dpo today. Convinced I feel a bit nauseous which I know is just really silly!

6th cycle for us this time

Boymum111 · 27/02/2023 12:58

oh my I’m the same! Like every time I ate today and yesterday I’ve felt nauseous. Likely a bug as it’s too early but analysing every symptom! FRER arrived early and will need to lock them away!

JoRobyn · 27/02/2023 13:04

When are you planning to test? I'd like to wait until Sunday but know I probably won't last!

I am feeling sickly definitely but have had a bit of a bad chest and think am just a bit under the weather if am honest

Boymum111 · 27/02/2023 15:03

So I have one little boy and before I got my BFP on 10DPO (early but maybe as I was carrying twins at the time - turned out to be vanishing twin syndrome but maybe HCG was higher?!)

So I say Sunday but I already know I’ll do it from Friday which will probably be a waste and I’ll torture myself seeing lines that aren’t there.

what about you?

one of my symptoms before was being really run down and actually ended up with a bad cold but looking back I think it was the pregnancy

JoRobyn · 27/02/2023 15:34

Same! Think I'll be 9dpo Friday, am going away and I just know I won't be able to resist before I go, but I know it's a stupid idea as I'll be down if it's (and it will be) a bfn, but also a bit stumped with how to manage a weekend away with a ridiculously early bfp.

So, obviously the best thing to do will be to not be so silly, but I absolutely know I won't manage that.

I'm a grown woman, why does this make us act so bloody doolaly?!

JoRobyn · 28/02/2023 15:16

Hey all. How we doing? I'm feeling down today. Feel like gearing up for bfn, no real reason, just as it always seems to be that outcome x

Boymum111 · 28/02/2023 18:05

Hi! So I convinced myself that I’ve got my ovulation days wrong and it was earlier (just go by CM) so caved and did a test. Of course bfn, far too early anyway but just felt so nauseous. Now I got my BFN it’s completely thrown me into a spiral of negativity- again!

sad to hear you’re feeling down - it’s such a rollercoaster and gets you just at different times!

Boymum111 · 28/02/2023 18:06

I also have a busy weekend ahead and kinda need to know before then but limbo again for me I think!

JoRobyn · 28/02/2023 19:15

Same Boymum, I'm away this weekend and would like to know really!

Boymum111 · 28/02/2023 19:38

Sitting googling how early DPO people got their BFP 😂

Boymum111 · 28/02/2023 19:41

Do you recommend any early detection tests that aren’t FRER? So costly

JoRobyn · 28/02/2023 19:47

The boots ones are what I'm going to get this month I think, they don't have the annoying plastic line behind and I just always think I can see a line on a frer!

Are you 6dpo today too?

Boymum111 · 28/02/2023 19:55

I see lines every time as well on FRER, it’s driving me crazy. Yes so today should be 6DPO but I have only guesstimated this using the Flo app and CM. My cycles are regular.

are you 7DPO? That’s when I really need restraint not to test as in my head I’m like well implantation could have happened by now?! Just torture myself this way though - If only I had the willpower to wait!

JoRobyn · 28/02/2023 19:57

I'm 6dpo same as you. Fingers crossed for us both!!

JoRobyn · 02/03/2023 08:02

How are things everyone?

Boymum111 · 02/03/2023 08:20

Hi! So I’m 8DPO and tested…of course BFN. Feeling nothing at all, just tired but really that’s nothing new! Not feeling hopeful, the aftermath of the too early BFN doesn’t help!

how are you? @JoRobyn ?

JoRobyn · 02/03/2023 09:16

I'm ok, also bfn on IC strip. I think I'm just going to go away, enjoy the weekend and test when I get back. I really don't want to ruin my time just thinking about this constantly. I think any boozing will be fairly conservative and I'd like to just enjoy myself with my friends rather than just constantly thinking about lines on sticks!

Boymum111 · 02/03/2023 16:10

I think you’re just right: my plan is to do the same as you, keep busy and try not to over test. Easier said than done I know..

are u having any symptoms?

Darcy86 · 02/03/2023 16:28

Hi I just thought I'd jump on as I'm in roughly the same place - think I am 6DPO today and it's really dragging! This next week or so is just going to be constantly symptom spotting I can tell. I don't have the nerves for early testing, it sends me sideways so the earliest I'll test is next Friday. Eeek!

Boymum111 · 02/03/2023 19:40

Hi @Darcy86 ❤️ welcome to the wait with us! It’s a torture isn’t it, completely dragging in!

do you have any symptoms?

Darcy86 · 02/03/2023 23:04

@Boymum111 agreed, it becomes all consuming, find it really distracts me from work as well! I dont have any notable symptoms yet, but guess its probably a bit early. How about you?

Boymum111 · 02/03/2023 23:27

@Darcy86 yep I thought I was feeling nauseous a few days ago but since that I’ve had nothing but tiredness, which isn’t really new…it definitely becomes all consuming, hard to stay distracted from it all day! Keep checking my flo app as if it still isn’t 8DPO 😂

trying to stay positive and whatever will be will be

JoRobyn · 03/03/2023 12:05

So I tested 9dpo with a frer and a boots early, stark neg! Sure am out again, and, if am brutally honest. Really think this is probs the end of the road

Boymum111 · 03/03/2023 15:21

@JoRobyn BFN too here - also lost hope. Is it end of the road as it’s just too much rn? If not, still hopeful our babies will come 🙏
