8 DPO - BFN :( TWW buddies please!

Emilyadams98 · 15/07/2023 18:40

I know I know… 8 DPO is FAR too early for most to test, and I wasn’t going to start until at least 10dpo.. but I caved and did a cheapie easy@home this morning and this evening and it’s stark white! I WISH I waited but I thought about how exciting it would be to see that positive result if by any chance I had implanted at 6DPO and just couldn’t resist.

So disappointed in myself as I’d rather not know if I am or not for a little longer then have a BFN but not being addicted to POAS because I know it’s so early and could pop up at any time if I am! You get more desperate when you see a negative.. need some TWW friends to keep me sane please and any success stories of a 8DPO BFN turned BFP?😁🤍

Okay I just went wild at boots haha spent about £40 on loads of different tests 😂 I have the urge to test later but I know I just need to wait!

Emilyadams98 · 17/07/2023 12:40

Thankyou everyone!😁 only a few days left for everyone!! It’s hard isn’t it, @naggy095 like you say once you get to 8dpo something changes and it becomes almost impossible not to test🤣🤣, done another cheapie mid day and it’s definitely more there than at 7:30 this morning! Going to tell DP when he gets home from work.. so excited!

I also bought a clearblue, sceptical on those as I’ve had false positives before but where I’ve got faints on other tests, I have one a go and got a clear positive!, a lot more visible than the false I got last month which was like a shadow, lol @cosymama2020 i feel you on that🤣 I’ve just bought £30 worth of clear blues and have £20 worth of FRER coming tomorrow 🤣🤣 got a box of cheapies too and already gone through 2 FRER 🤣 I’m terrible.. did 30 with DD

I am now 10 dpo. I usually get spotting before period but this month it just seem different, it has been on and off spotting since 7 dpo but trying not to get my hopes up..
Tempted to test tomorrow.
I am due to get fibroid removed in September which apparently could be impacting me conceiving but we gave this month one more shot just to see what happens..

@Emilyadams98 I also ovulated early as well 🤣 CD11 this cycle vs CD14 last cycle. Oh that's good they're back now! They've been unavailable for a while. I actually went the extra mile and bought a 3 pack of FRER from the US last week 🥲

@Luna0905 hey I'm feeling better today, the antibiotics must be working finally! I'm sorry to hear it's taking such a long time for you 😞 I know you've probably researched everything already but have you tried myo-inositol? It's apparently supposed to help with PCOS. I've also heard a lot of stories of women about to start IVF and then finally fall pregnant on the last cycle beforehand! I have everything crossed for you that this will be your BFP xx

@naggy095 glad you’re feeling better!
I am indeed taking inositol, been taking for a while now, hopefully it starts to take an effect soon! Fingers crossed for you too! Xx

Luna0905 · 17/07/2023 14:23

Gosh sorry I’ve just been playing catch up 😂
congrats @Emilyadams98 looks like great lines for you, keep us posted on your progression 🥳

hi to all the new joiners and good luck to everyone testing 🍀 keep us all updated!

I might test tomorrow but let’s see what my BBT does tomorrow. It took a dive off a cliff today so I’ll keep an eye on that before doing a test (hopefully was just a blip or maybe that the cat woke me up at 4am so threw the results off 😂). Cried at work at 9.30am and couldn’t stop sobbing, could be a good sign, I never cry at work ever, even before my period 🤞🏼🤞🏼 xxx

TeamSpike · 17/07/2023 14:33

Hi! Can I join please?! On first cycle ttc no 2. Dd has just turned 8 so it's been a long time since I was pregnant! I tested on Sat 8dpo. BFN. Going to try again tomorrow

cosymama2020 · 17/07/2023 14:58

Welcome @TeamSpike I’m in awe of your patience! I’m 8/9 DPO today and already tested twice in one day 😂 keep us updated!

I thought I had lost all symptoms and now today I’ve got twinges in my womb area and I feel so sick, a bit dizzy and soo tired! It might be nothing but praying it might be implantation?

So gassy as well today 😩😅

Myna13 · 17/07/2023 15:00

@cosymama2020 I'm 8dpo today and super gassy and tired too 😂I tested this morning and think I can see a super faint line, but not sure if it's evap 😅

Emilyadams98 · 17/07/2023 15:19

@TeamSpike welcome!😁thankyou @Luna0905! Can’t wait to see everyone’s results over the next few days, I’ve been feeling super tired today and crampy/ tight and heavy on my lower stomach, slight back ache too x

It's sooo hard to wait isn't it! Really having to stop myself testing every day 😂 it's interesting some of you have said about pooing more because I have been as well. Baby dust to everyone!

pepperminticecream · 17/07/2023 16:11

I caved and tested...BFN...of course! I am 7DPO so not sure what I expected. In my last pregnancy I tested the day of my period and had a very very faint positive so I am not sure what I am expecting when AF isn't even due for five more days!

naggy095 · 17/07/2023 16:21

I'm going to make DP hide all my tests away until Wednesday earliest. I don't trust myself to not test tomorrow and I don't want to waste any more tests 😭
It's so strange I literally have no symptoms when I'm so used to having them in the TWW. Maybe it's the agnus castus I've been taking

cosymama2020 · 17/07/2023 17:28

@Myna13 ahh! I hope it’s a line! Test again in the morning and let us know. What test did you use?

@naggy095 ooo what is the agnus castus good for?

naggy095 · 17/07/2023 17:39

@cosymama2020 it's apparently supposed to help with PMS symptoms by regulating your hormones and also increases progesterone. So I guess it's worked if I have no symptoms 😂 I also took it to help increase EWCM as I've had none past few cycles and this cycle I did have a little bit, not that much but still better than none. Are you going to test tomorrow or wait a little bit? I think I'll keep 1 test out for tomorrow but have the rest hidden. They're too expensive to waste 😂

cosymama2020 · 17/07/2023 18:10

@naggy095 interesting! I might try it out one day! Oh I’ll probably be testing every day until AF shows now 😂 I’m 8DPO today and I’ve got a feeling I might have implanted today but could all be in my head. The tests I took today were 100% BFN so I might just be imagining all the symptoms 😂😩

Myna13 · 17/07/2023 19:33

@pepperminticecream sometimes you just need to test and see a negative to keep yourself calm and stop you from wondering if it could possibly be a positive if you test now. Don't worry about testing early. Hopefully you will have a BFP soon!

@cosymama2020 I used a clear blue 6 days early test (AF due on Friday).
I'm also at 8dpo and will be testing every day until BFP or AF arrives. Keep us posted about your tests!

naggy095 · 17/07/2023 20:28

@cosymama2020 haha I'm the same I tested every day last cycle till AF as well so that's why I'm having DP hide them 🥲
Fingers crossed for you 🤞🏼 x

pepperminticecream · 18/07/2023 05:35

@Myna13 Very true. Its also hard to resist the tests just sitting in my bathroom waiting to be used!

cosymama2020 · 18/07/2023 06:33

Tested this morning - I should be 9dpo and big old BFNs. I know it’s still early so not getting too disheartened yet! Saving the Clearblue for 12 DPO onwards ☺️

8 DPO - BFN :( TWW buddies please!

TeamSpike · 18/07/2023 07:50

BFN for me as well this morning. Still 2 or 3 days til AF so hoping it's because it's a cheap tesco one!

naggy095 · 18/07/2023 07:56

9dpo BFN for me too. All my remaining tests have now been hidden by my partner 😂
No symptoms still

Lily124 · 18/07/2023 08:58

I'm 8dpo so know it's super early and you're allowed to tell me I'm crazy but think I got a squinter today! These strips detect hcg at 10mIu/ml which is the same as clear blue digital ultra early which I also have, but not gonna waste that until I get a proper line on these. Will test again tomorrow AM and keep you posted! (2nd pic I changed contrast to try and see it better 🤣)

Emilyadams98 · 18/07/2023 11:38

Definitely looks like a line there @Lily124!!! Could be the start of your BFP! Congratulations 😁😁🎉, hope everyone’s okay today! For those with BFN’s you’re not out until the witch comes!!! A lot of people don’t get bfp until after their period has been missed which is crazy so don’t loose hope! Cheapies are getting slowly but surely stronger for me, will attach pic (second to last was 7am today and last was 10am today, pretty good profession for a few hours! Same ursine concentration too) these ones are not very sensitive from what I’ve ready online (easy@home) and lots of people have had slow line progression with them! Only on day 2 so I shouldn’t expect much, but I have 4x FRER coming today and 2x cb early detection digitals so will take one of each and update x
