6DPO - I’m going mad!

Hello everyone, basically as the title says. 😂

6th Cycle for Baby #1 - every month we’ve put so much stress on ourselves and i would POAS from 5dpo despite it being too early.

this month we had a more relaxed approach (I say relaxed outside I was relaxed but my brain done overtime) - we used preseed and fertilily cup for the first this month.

got my peak CD14 baby danced CD7, 13 & 14 and never manger anything else and I’m now kicking myself crazy incase it wasn’t enough 😭

anyways, I’ve had absolutely zero symptoms except the tiniest little tugging sensation which I get every month during the TWW & I had been to the doctor for tests due to cramps during my TWW being so severe.

but this month I’m absolute feeling nothing.

I’m trying to hold off until Saturday to test (10DPO) & my partner has hidden my tests so I don’t POAS early 😂 he’s on nightshifts all week and off on Saturday hence why he allows me to have them back on Saturday lol.

as you can tell from my rant I’m losing my mind and need people to joint the rest of my TWW with me 😂😂

@LittleLemonPie hello lovely, I’m alright. Caved and tested this morning. BFN.
had SEVERE lightning crotch for a few hours yesterday evening I had to sit with my electric heat belt on. Someone on another thread was saying she got them on 8dpo in her pregnancies and she tested the next day and got a BFP so I caved :( feeling deflated today.

how’re you?

Aww@Nmmck93 i know it so hard seeing that negative 😔 sending u love, be kind to yourself.
Are your two days behind me? You 9 dpo today?
That could have possibly been implantation yesterday so maybe give it couple more days?

I search and search lots of YouTube videos seeing who didn’t get a BFP later in their cycle to make me feel better but usually doesn’t.

I’ve not tested since 8dpo and was negative but going to test tomorrow, and just now I feel if it’s negative I’m telling myself I’ll be ok with that.

when is af due for you?

Nmmck93 · 18/08/2023 10:59

@LittleLemonPie oh I was down a rabbit hole in google searching and lightning crotch and it was saying it could have been implantation and I was showing my partner the results bad getting the results excited and then a negative this morning.
yeah I’m 9dpo today - I only have two tests left so don’t know whether to go pick up some cheap boots ones and just test for the next few days.

So you’re 10dpo? Hopefully you get your BFP. Keep me updated 🤞🏻

AF is due Wednesday / Thursday my two apps are different days. 🙈

just do what’s best for you, we’ve been ‘proper’ trying for over a year now and I’ve drove myself nuts testing every morning hoping to see those two lines.
It’s easier said than done to try take your mind off of everything but this cycle that’s what I’ve tried to do and it’s helped me not to symptom spot as much this cycle…..to just think I’m ok with af showing up (I mean I want more than anything those two little pink lines) but I’m trying to be ok with it’s just not our time and that when we are holding our little baby in our arms, each time it was a neg test before will all make sense because it wouldn’t be this baby right now-that’s my way of thinking atm to help my mental health through all this. Not sure it would help anyone else but hopefully 💛

this is my 2nd cycle on fertility meds as I have pcos so don’t ovulate as often as I should. But the meds have worked so far so I’m just so happy I’m ovulating now more regularly ☺️ so more chances to try.
I’m 11 dpo today, I’ll keep you updated….my af is due wed, I have a longer luteal phase and usually get my af 16dpo lol.

keep me updated too, keeping everything crossed 🤞🏼 sending baby dust ✨

Nmmck93 · 18/08/2023 11:16

@LittleLemonPie that's an amazing mindset to have & actually really lovely thoughts & I can agree with everything you said.
This is our last month trying before starting back in December / January.

I've actually not been symptom spotting at all (except the pains I had last night which where hard to ignore) & caving at 9dpo and testing is late for me which I'm proud of. We did our best & if it's not this month, then we have a few months off of this mental torcher & then back at it. 💜

We used preseed and a conception cup this month aswell to try and help.

I also have PCOS and Endo. Although I do believe I ovulate and had blood tests done which doctor said were 'normal'.

It's so hard when it's something you want so badly & then hear and see other couples having accidental pregnancies and you just wish it was you. But as you said, our times will come when we are holding our own little bundles of joy! 💜

Hopefully by Wednesday neither of us have AF and both will be posting out positive tests! I'm manifesting for us both 🤞🏻✨

LittleLemonPie · 18/08/2023 11:38

That’s great you managed to hold off longer than usual! It’s hard though.
Yes we used the pressed and the cup too this cycle 🤞🏼

Yup hopefully Wednesday no at for us….I am manifesting it for us both too and keeping everything crossed 🤞🏼 it will all be worth it in the end 🥰🤞🏼✨

Nmmck93 · 18/08/2023 11:43

@LittleLemonPie I actually thought the cup was great at keeping everything up in where it should be 🙈 I bought a cheaper version from eBay and it worked great, even just to make sure everything stays up in and no mess I will use to every month when TTC'ing lol!

I'm going to go to boots after work and grab some more tests just so I have them if I feel the urge to test every day from now to AF due day. 🙈

We can do this, positive mindsets and manifest it all! ✨👶🏻

LittleLemonPie · 18/08/2023 12:15

@Nmmck93 Yeah I thought it was really good at doing it’s job lol I found I so hard to put in but hubby helped with that. Planning to use it also each time for ttc lol.

positive vibes and baby dust ✨💖

Nmmck93 · 18/08/2023 12:16

@LittleLemonPie oh my partner done it all for my with help from his friend 😉 it was easier if he done it with that kinda help because he could see what he was doing and was able to push it right up. 🙈

8DPO today I cave din and tested BFN.. starting to feel deflated now 🥴

Nmmck93 · 18/08/2023 12:35

@Huriya oh I hear ya! I tested this morning at 9DPO and BFN. Just hope we're too early and the two lines will come through in the coming days for us all ✨

OP posts:
Huriya · 18/08/2023 12:38

@Nmmck93 I really do hope so. I did it on the Easy@home tests. Got some early detection once coming later on. Going to use them tomorrow so fingers crossed 🤞

HopefullMumto4 · 18/08/2023 12:39

If it helps, I tested negative yesterday morning at 9dpo and then tested again in the evening and it was super faint positive and this morning I got a positive Digi. So even a negative in the morning doesn't mean you are out just yet!

Nmmck93 · 18/08/2023 12:56

@HopefullMumto4 aaaaah congratulations my love! That does give me a little bit more hope that my positive could still come!

Your evening test, was it a long hold of urine? I feel like testing this evening. I just want to POAS every chance I get now I have the urge.

@HopefullMumto4 congratulations!!! Im so happy for you! Did you take a picture of your test ? X

HopefullMumto4 · 18/08/2023 13:33

@Nmmck93 it was a 5 hour hold - but that was accidental, I didn't pee before we went out to the park and by the time we had gotten back I had a million things to do and suddenly it was evening.

@Ecj92 I did! These were the ones from yesterday and we're suuuuper faint but way more obvious this morning. The morning of 9dpo and even lunchtime were negative. I didn't get those until 6pm!

LittleLemonPie · 19/08/2023 07:12

Sorry typos, pray AF* doesn’t show on Wednesday. I still can’t believe my eyes🥰❤️

TTCNoTWO · 19/08/2023 08:24

@LittleLemonPie congratulations!!! So happy for you!

LittleLemonPie · 19/08/2023 08:36

@TTCNoTWO thank you 😊 my easy@home was neg at 8dpo and today I’m 12dpo thought the strip test might of been darker but the clear blue definitely confirmed my disbelief in those faint lines.
so it’s definitely early at 8dpo…have everything crossed for you, baby dust to you✨

@Nmmck93 thank you 😊 worrying now but hopefully those lines get darker, we are so grateful and feel very blessed.
how are you feeling? Sending baby dust to you✨
