6dpo carry on thread number 3

[PADonk]

Starting a new chat as we filled up the last one. New members always welcome 🤗

@BB78910 ah that makes perfect sense, fingers crossed for you and Hooe you have a lovely holiday!

@Catson I know what you mean, I'm really not ready for that potential disappointment but I'm so eager as well! I'm only 7dpo and symptom spotting like mad even though I'm sure the last time I was pregnant I had no symptoms!

@BB78910 sounds like a good plan, though I didn’t have a hint of a line until 13dpo (and after my leaving do where I imbibed a fair amount of wine and gin - seems to be a common situation on mumsnet though with no long-term adverse outcomes 🤞🏼😂). Let us know how it goes, and yes enjoy your hols!

@Roses12345 glad you’re getting on ok ❤️

@HRHXO @Catson best of luck ladies - only 35% of women get a BFP at 10dpo so don’t be too disheartened if you get BFNs at first. I’d say best to hold out as long as poss but I’ve only ever managed to do that one cycle so I’d be being the world’s biggest hypocrite 🫣

Yes ladies just keep POAS, no judgement in this group either when you ask for opinions on lines (I’ve seen some groups absolutely slating women for asking for line eyes)

ive been so exhausted yesterday and feeling a little nauseous but I haven’t spotted and I defo do around implantation so I don’t know if it’s just a coincidence.

I also implant early ish CD20/21 which would mean yesterday / today 🤷🏼‍♀️🤷🏼‍♀️🤷🏼‍♀️

I didn't test too early with my first pregnancy so going to try and hold off this time too. I did test I think a day early and used a Frer but they don't seem to exist any more. Are the boots early detection the best ones now? Also, how expensive are tests now!!

@Catson yeah I couldn’t find any for love or money - I buy a load of one step early detection cheapies from Amazon and if I think I see anything then Boots 👌🏼

@BB78910 I’ve still got a v good feeling for you this month 🙏🏼

@Catson I’m still dying to find out why FRERs have been discontinued in the UK, they still seem to be about in the US etc. Tests are mad expensive but like @PADonk said I do one steps and then Boots early detection then a CB digital when it’s far along enough to show 3+ just for peace of mind

and thank you, I got a bit excited cos I had two really piercing sharp pains on my left today (both different parts of the day and lasted no more than 2s) but no spotting :(

@BB78910 i wouldn’t worry too much about that - this is the 1st time when I’ve been pregnant I’ve ever spotted and it was nearly a week after implantation. Did you say you’re testing this morning? Hope you manage to chill and enjoy your trip xx

Hey ladies! Mind if I join you?
Im currently 6DPO on cycle 5 of TTC #2.

I must say, as hard as the TWW is, I also enjoy the fact there’s that possibility I might be pregnant and have like symptom spotting (despite everyone saying you shouldn’t!)

I had a big temp spike today that I posted about looking for some advice on if there’s any hardened tempers in here!

how’s everyone feeling today?

Ugh 9dpo and bfn with dmu, don't even know why I bothered, I got my bfp at 11dpo last time and it was so strong that I thought if I had have tested at 9dpo last time there might have been a faint line hence today's test 😅. AF not due until 18/19th but I feel like I'm out now for some reason! How is everyone else feeling? Anyone had a bfn at 9dpo but bfp later on?

@HRHXO I'd imagine a lot of people have. 9dpo is super, super early. The earliest implantation can roughly occur is 8dpo. hcg levels double every 48-72 hours, so realistically a BFP on an early detection (10hcg) might happen at 10dpo or 11dpo depending how quickly your levels rise (either is normal). But depending on the concentration in your wee it could be 12-14dpo before a BFP. So don't be disheartened

@Catson yep didn’t have a hint of a line until 13dpo on 10miu tests, you’ve still got ages yet before you should get disheartened!

@Bl1991 welcome! I’m definitely not an expert temp-er but someone else here might be. As long as it’s going up I’d say good sign 👍🏼

@PADonk tested and BFN this morning. Took one test with me on the trip so will give it a go in 2 days and if it’s negative it’s negative. I’m pretty sure I’m out, boobs are PMS kind of achey so it is what it is. Super disappointing. How are you getting on?
@Bl1991 welcome! No experience with that either but keeping my fingers crossed for you!
@HRHXO like the others have said you’re defo not out yet, I just kind of know my body etc because I track every symptom like a crazy woman so it’s documented in my flo app 🤣🤣

Thanks everyone, it can be disheartening but I know it's still early. Although I just have a feeling I'm out now. 10dpo and a bfn again this morning. My last bfp was 11dpo so not feeling very optimistic now! 😕

I've done the same today @HRHXO and I also got a positive at 11dpo last time, so feeling very similar

@HRHXO honestly there’s no link between what dpo you’ve had before and this time - every pregnancy is just different. I was 1000% sure I was out, had no symptoms for days and a run of BFNs, I even went out for drinks and then it happened. Only a 3rd of women get a BFP at 10dpo and only half on 11… you’ve still got every chance 👍🏼

@Catson sorry meant to tag you too!

I know, you're right @PADonk but it's easier said than done isn't it 🙈🙈

@Catson oh definitely, and it doesn’t help at all all the forums being full of women who seem to get a blaring BFP at 8dpo. I’ve always found this table really helpful when losing faith - it’s meant to be more accurate than the countdown to pregnancy ones etc as they’re skewed by people being more likely to report positives early than negatives. Hope you all manage to distract yourselves over the weekend ❤️

@Catson @HRHXO this is helpful too: https://www.fertilityfriend.com/Faqs/Negative-Pregnancy-Test-Before-A-Positive---Stats-Study.html . Promise I’ll stop preaching now 🫢🫣

Thank you @PADonk you are only doing what I say to everyone else, I just don't listen to my own advice 😂 not seen those statistics before though so thank you

@PADonk can ask if you were looking for symptoms when you thought you were out? And still couldn't feel anything? I'm 12DPO and 99.9% sure I'm out but still have a little bit of hope. I find testing more disappointing than my period so will hold out. It's so hard.

@cheeseplease3 hey, no - I’d had earlier symptoms, specifically my cm hadn’t dried up like it normally does after ovulation, but zero implantation symptoms and by the time I got my BFP I hadn’t had any signs for days x

@PADonk ahh I think that's the biggest sign I'm out, CM has definitely shifted and non existent (along with other standard AF symptoms). We go again!

@cheeseplease3 it was pretty nonexistent again by that point, so I’d convinced myself the egg had been fertilised but just not stuck

@PADonk I forgot to actually say congratulations! I hope everything goes smoothly for you!
