@LW678 @Onthedouble123 thank you! I am still in shock and so waiting for a positive CB digital before telling my husband as it’s not a blazing red positive. I don’t have any symptoms other than feeling a bit knackered! Will keep you all updated :)

LW678 · 06/02/2024 18:28

@Sunandsea13 aww I really hope the digital is positive for you!

Sunandsea13 · 06/02/2024 18:28

@colleenbean86 Boots is great as it’s red dye but a bit nicer to use than the Premom!

Sunandsea13 · 06/02/2024 18:29

@LW678 thank you!! Xx

miamiamia869 · 06/02/2024 19:06

@Ella31 that's sane as me was excited but now I seem to have every pmt symptom and I just feel out out! I hate how it makes you feel. As they say though we are not out till af though so have to try stop beating ourselves up.

That deff looks like a positive @Sunandsea13 . Early congrats to you x

Onthedouble123 · 06/02/2024 21:56

I just got carried away with myself and tested. BFN. 😞😞😞

miamiamia869 · 06/02/2024 22:02

How many dpo are you @Onthedouble123

Onthedouble123 · 06/02/2024 22:17

@miamiamia869 I think 10 or 11 so I know not 100% out but it was a sensitive test so should be seeing something by this point really.
Annoyingly immediately after taking the test I've had all the usual AF symptoms present themselves. Id not have bothered wasting the test if I'd had symptoms I just got carried away as didn't feel like it was on its way. Xx

TtcJess · 06/02/2024 23:47

9dpo for me girls and a negative test .. should i still be hopeful? AFpains and due in 5 days ! only my second month TTC and i’m 31 years old.

2BabyOrNot2Baby · 07/02/2024 00:05

@TtcJess definitely don't count yourself out until AF makes an appearance.
When I was pregnant with my little boy I tested at 13 days and still got a negative!

miamiamia869 · 07/02/2024 07:32

I just tested too after period cramps all night. Negative as can be. That is a positive sign @2BabyOrNot2Baby but i just feel so so out today. I'm 10dpo today and due on Sunday x

colleenbean86 · 07/02/2024 07:34

I've tested too but BFN

I think we are probably all too early no?

When should we be seeing's signs

8dpo
miamiamia869 · 07/02/2024 07:44

Before Mt misscarriafe I would never have dreamed of testing this early lol. Maybe, I just feel really negative about it. I feel very pmt in myself. That doesn't mean you are all out though and we could well be tratinf too early. Z

miamiamia869 · 07/02/2024 07:45

@Sunandsea13 congratulations. How.many dpo are you xx

LW678 · 07/02/2024 07:45

@colleenbean86 i tested negative too. 9DPO AF due Monday, hoping it’s still too early. @Sunandsea13 congratulations!

miamiamia869 · 07/02/2024 07:46

@Sunandsea13 just realised you are 10dpo same as me. Mine is negative so I'm even more sure I'm out now. Congrats again to you though x

@Sunandsea13 congratulations! What a beautiful word that is 🥰
Have you told your DP now? Xx

Sunandsea13 · 07/02/2024 07:49

@miamiamia869 no don’t feel like that! I could be out by up to a week as I’m only going off when my ultrasound saw a corpus luteum! I have PCOS so tracking is very hard for me

IsthisthereallifeIsthisjustfantasy · 07/02/2024 07:50

I think I'm 6dpo but not entirely sure this month. Anyone else find this time of the month really hard? There's a big build up to ovulation, all the testing, you've done your best! And now it's just a waiting game and I feel so helpless. I feel like I'm wishing my life away waiting to see if I'm pregnant and then waiting for the next fertile window. Any tips for having a better attitude?

Sunandsea13 · 07/02/2024 07:50

@Onthedouble123 yes he got woken up at 6am with the lamp on and test in his face 😂😂

Onthedouble123 · 07/02/2024 08:00

@Sunandsea13 love it! So pleased for you both 😍
@IsthisthereallifeIsthisjustfantasy no advice as I'm exactly the same and haven't found a better way to manage it yet 😕
I ordered an at home testing kit from hertility last night so that I atleast feel like I'm doing something productive. I did fall pregnant last year but had a MC in November so I know things have been working to a degree.
I think I've only realistically got a few months left in me though and will have to find ways to accept it's not going to happen after that.
This is my second. I'm 37 and just don't want to spend the early years of my first all consumed trying for a second. But then each time I think okay, well we'll give it one more month..! Xx

miamiamia869 · 07/02/2024 08:13

@Sunandsea13 oh okay I'm gna try and be more positive. I feel our but what's the point of being down and negative until I know for sure. Gonna try and be more of a glass half full person lol.
Such lovely news for you especially with pcos as I'm sure tracking everything gets really frustrating bless you. Massive congrats.

@IsthisthereallifeIsthisjustfantasy I struggle so so so bad so also welcome any tips. I just can't seem to shake the obsession though and I always feel so stressed and down waiting. Its awful isn't it.

@Onthedouble123 I misscsrried my first pregnanxy in Nov too. I was 12 weeks. People on here say should take thay as a positivr we w3re pregnant but the 3 months since has felt like a lifetim3 and like it's never gona happen. Wish I was more laid back with it all but I'm getting worse each cycle
