11dpo BFN on FRER

[Rightnow1245]

so as it say in the subject I’m 11dpo and just got a bfn on a frer I didn’t use FMU but do you think I still have a change or has anyone got a positive stories about getting a BFN and then getting a BFP?

with both my boys I got a BFP by 10dpo so this is why I’m thinking I’m out!

Oh yeah it can make you go crazy this TTC! @DarkCrystal85 what day of your. Cycle are you on? Did you manage to see your donor enough?
@SchofeTee did you do a test this morning?

I am currently 5dpo and going to try and wait until 12dpo to test.
I did get a BFP at 9 dpo with both boys but I think I should wait Sunday 😊

Tested yday and BFN. Literally just got AF.

Onto the next cycle! Wishing everyone else luck xxx

@SchofeTee Aw that's a bummer. The tww can drive you mad. I always try looking at the positive of a 2 weeks of no pressure once AF shows.

@Rightnow1245 I am ovulating today (ish) on day 14 of cycle after the highest peak LH I have ever seen yesterday haha. Saw donor on day 11 and again tonight and possibly day 16 but will see what's what by then I'm feeling hopeful at least seeing today will be good timing.

How are you getting on x

Sorry I didn't see this question as moved onto page 2. I'm not currently pregnant, I found out I was pregnant in December but unfortunately had a mmc in Feb at 12 weeks and baby had died at 8 weeks, my body just didn't seem to get the memo. I started trying again in the April/may cycle and been here since with 3 CP which knocked my ovulations totally out of whack. Me and my wife have a 3 year old she carried after a 14 week loss and now it's my turn to try give our dd a sibling. Would have tried sooner but covid lockdowns and then moving house kinda got in the way. We see the donor as often as possible on around ovulation. Fingers crossed for all of us x

Sorry @SchofeTee I replied to your comment on previous page but it didn't seem to do the reply properly 🥴

Oh sorry @SchofeTee on to the next cycle last month when Af showed I was a little relieved as I feel the unknown is worse!? Was I right In thinking it’s your first cycle ttc?

sounds promising @DarkCrystal85 at least you have all covers covered! I’m doing good we managed to DTD around ovulation so let’s hope it worked.. my DS1 we feel pregnant cycle 1.. DS2 was cycle 2 so hopeDC3 is cycle 3!
I had a few cramps today but I had this last month around this time so not looking into anything tbh.. I’m only 5dpo so no point in testing yet x

Here is when we DtD so don’t think we could do much more tbh

I see that makes a lot more sense now lol. It's agonising isn't it. I just want it to be instant as I'm not a patient person lol

Yeah first cycle trying. My DS1 was not planned and I was a single mum with him so it happened quickly. DS2 took 3 cycles and it only happened when I sort of gave up for a month. I think I need to just not worry about it so much. But if you don't worry then you think it won't happen 😫😂 it's so mental

Yeah it’s defo hard not to overthink it.. is it the same partner as with your son? The first cycle I totally missed ovulation because I didn’t do opk and I had a really short cycle so must of ovulated just after my AF which is uncommon so I had no hope that month lol x

Yeah so I was on my own with my eldest but I knew my husband at the time I was pregnant. Then when DS1 was 3 months old we started seeing each other and then we had a DS2 together. Now we're trying for #3.

I had a huge peak whilst on holiday like 2 weeks ago. Dtd the day before and the day of the peak but, alas, no good.

I'm unsure whether to keep doing the opk's or throw caution to the wind. I just think I want it too much lol

Yeah i know what’s you mean but if you don’t do opk you may miss ovulation unless you are a couple who DtD every other day.. we don’t and they worked so well last time I feel like I will keep going with them a little longer.. The thing that worries me is I’m a lot older now and much bigger than I was when ttc before

Doing opk definitely increase the chance not exactly of pregnancy but questioning whether you dtd at the right time... I continue to use them because I was regular day 13 LH peak for months and then suddenly day 17 then 20 etc so for us needing to arrange with a 3rd party (donor) it means we aren't wasting time but as above if you dtd every couple of days anyway maybe try a cycle without using them.
The other reason I like to use opk is so I can then figure out when I'm due on, if I'd not have been doing opk the cycle I had peak at day 20 I'd have thought I was late after day 29 of cycle for 5 days and got myself worked up about being late but regardless when my ovulation is I ALWAYS have a 14 days phase from day of ovulation (15 days from peak test) so I do it to also save myself further anguish of being 'late' with bfn when in fact I'm not late at all just had a later ovulation.

Well I'm officially 1dpo now, I had my usual tender sore back yesterday and going by opk it's been a pretty straight forward day 14 ovulation (peak day 13) cycle woo

Sorry that was yesterday's lol

Yeah the first cycle I didn’t use it I totally missed ovulation :( I’m currently 7dpo and I want to hold off testing until 12dpo but I’m so impatient.. help me stop myself hahaha

It's that thing of if you can mentally manage knowing you are most probably going to get a negative then just do it. I usually start my secret testing around day 8 knowing full well it will probably be negative for a few days and it doesn't have a negative impact on me but if I don't test I get itchy feet and regret not testing. It depends if a bfn will help in the needed to test in a way. I can't settle after a week unless I do my nightly test then carry on with the evening lol.

Also if like me you bulk buy cheap tests then it's not really breaking the bank. I save my clear blues for after AF due x

Yeah I think I was the same as you last month I tested from 8dpo and as the days went by with the bfn I was more and more disappointed.. I mean every time I got a bfn I thought it was wrong so I guess I might as well wait but it’s so hard… the test were right but I kept convincing myself it was just to early 🤦‍♀️ xx

I only have 5 cheapies, one FRER and one digital so I haven’t got lots.. I purposely didn’t by anymore because last month I was testing so much! X

I've just counted mine and only actually have 6 cheapies 🥴

Well 4/5 dpo and I'm having the strangest pulling sensations as if I'm wearing a really big tampon and pulling it... But it could all be my imagination 😂

How's everyone else doing/feeling

I'm on CD 5 and my period finished yesterday. So got to wait 10 days or so to ovulate and then we see what happens!

Oo hope it goes quick for you 😁

That sounds good @DarkCrystal85 do you usually get any pains this early on after ovulation? I am 9dpo and had lots belly cramps yesterday but nothing today x
