5dpo, anyone else?

I’m currently on 5DPO, anyone else in the same boat?! TWW is a killer!

My partner and I are on cycle 10 and have had 2 miscarriages during this time. I feel like everyone around me is having babies apart from me! ☹️

@Emily887 yes exactly, I’ve heard of lots of people taking aspirin so hopefully that shouldn’t be a problem 🤞🏼 I caved today and took a test, 7DPO so of course it was negative! 🤣 I just like to torture myself. Tomorrow is 8DPO so seems a little bit more acceptable to test then…

My first pregnancy I had zero symptoms and actually went out drinking one night because had no clue I was pregnant, so hoping it’s a good thing xx

@Bonniexx you're not alone, I’ll definitely cave and test tomorrow knowing I’m only 7dpo too🤣 what are we like eh! I say every month I’ll have more willpower but never do😂 fingers crossed for an 8dpo positive for you! I’ve got a lot of watery cm tonight which I don’t usually have at this point but taking that with a pinch of salt. Still no symptoms other than that! Xx

Hi all, may I join too!
I’m currently 8 dpo on cycle 5 and trying not to give in to testing yet. I ovulated a little late this month which apparently can mean a poor quality egg so I’m trying not to get my hopes up.

Bonniexx · 13/07/2024 07:30

Morning @Emily887 @Cabbagepatchkid1! I tested today….8DPO so of course it was negative 🙁 not sure what I was expecting. I have the cheap Amazon tests so I’ve got loads which is dangerous 🤣 how are you both feeling? X

@Bonniexx morning! I’ve just caved and tested too… bfn. I had a few tummy cramps and couldn’t resist checking 🙈 Sending you babydust.

Hopefully we both just tested too early and you get your positive test soon!

Emiily887 · 13/07/2024 09:18

Morning @Bonniexx and @Cabbagepatchkid1! Well, I tested this morning at 7dpo…obviously negative what was I thinking?!😂 any symptoms today? Xx

@Emily887 I've only had a few of the results back, one of them said that I have high ‘factor8’ which basically means I get very very small blood clots. This doesn’t affect me normally but if you think how small the blood vessels are to a baby then it can block them and slow the growth, then result in miscarriage. Basically I need to take aspirin everyday which stops that. I also had tests to check the quality of my eggs and hormone levels which I’m still waiting for. I’ve got my fingers crossed for you! Hopefully being sick won’t make a difference on you getting pregnant 🤞🏼 which days did you manage to DTD? I ovulated day 14 and we DTD days 10, 13 and 14 I think. I’m feeling hopeful but also have zero symptoms so god knows! 🤣 xx

Sorry for gatecrashing the thread but I was wondering when they advised you to start taking the baby aspirin? I had two MMC before having my daughter, and then took baby aspirin and progesterone with my second and one of them seems to have done the trick. Trying for no.2 but don’t know when to start with the baby asprin…

Bonniexx · 13/07/2024 19:08

@Cariad90 Heyy! I’m going to start taking it as soon as I find out I’m pregnant. Although I told my doctor I was taking it before I was pregnant (I had to stop for another blood test) and he seemed fine with that so I don’t think it matters too much x

OP posts:
Emiily887 · 13/07/2024 19:43

@Bonniexx @Cabbagepatchkid1 how are you ladies this evening? I’ve still got a lot of cm! Was really watery and milky looking (sorry if tmi) but now it’s a little thicker. I genuinely never have this much usually but I also know the tww plays a lot of tricks on us! Xxx

Bonniexx · 13/07/2024 21:50

@Emily887 I’ve taken 3 tests today! 🤣 what is wrong with me! All negative obvs. I don’t have any symptoms, I just don’t have a good feeling about this month I don’t know why, I’m just not feeling positive.

oooohh well that’s exciting! If you don’t normally have that much cm then you never know, could definitely be a symptom. How many days past ovul are you today? Xx

OP posts:
Emiily887 · 14/07/2024 00:01

@Bonniexx the Amazon cheapies are good….but I always find myself constantly testing because you get so many so you’re not alone there😂😂 8dpo is still super early though!!
7dpo, I’m going to test again in the morning at 8dpo but doubt it’ll show anything as was stark white (obviously) today! It’s all so draining. Will you test again tomorrow? Xx

Bonniexx · 14/07/2024 07:40

Morning! I tested again today and it’s stark white negative. In my last pregnancies I had something by now so going to rule myself out in my head and try to forget about it. Will try again next month which will mark 1 whole year of trying 😩 Good luck if you are testing today! 🤞🏼❤️

OP posts:
Emiily887 · 14/07/2024 07:55

Morning @Bonniexx! Don’t give up, every pregnancy is different! Implantation can happen as late as 12dpo so definitely not out until af shows her ugly face! Keeping everything crossed for you 🤞🏼
I tested this morning and feel like I could see a hint of something, but even my camera couldn’t pick it up so I’m thinking it’s definitely just me having line eyes😭 xx

Bonniexx · 14/07/2024 08:29

@Emiily887 thanks lovely but I’m just not feeling positive about this month. I don’t have sore boobs or anything and that’s one of the first symptoms I get.

That’s exciting!! I really hope you get your BFP! 🍀 keep us posted xx

OP posts:
Cabbagepatchkid1 · 14/07/2024 08:59

@Emiily887 how exciting!! Let us know whether you see more of a line when you test again. 🤞

@Bonniexx sorry to hear. I’ve got my fingers crossed for you. No luck over here either yet. Still got a couple of twinges (but ibs may be the cause) and no sign of any line on the test.

Emiily887 · 14/07/2024 14:39

@Bonniexx bless you. It’s so exhausting isn’t it😢 keeping everything crossed for you!🤞🏼
@Cabbagepatchkid1 i will test again in the morning. I did just do another test but that one is stark negative although I have had a few drinks throughout the morning so maybe too diluted being so early. Just praying it wasn’t my eyes playing tricks, the cheapies have never had me second guessing before so hopefully that’s a good thing!🤞🏼

Thinking of you both and hopefully we all get our bfp🥰

Cabbagepatchkid1 · 14/07/2024 17:57

@Emiily887 ah it’s such an emotional rollercoaster. Fingers crossed it’s there in the morning!! It’s so hard not to constantly test.

Thinking of you both ☺️ x

Thank you. Will go and try to get some tomorrow just incase. Had a really strong feeling that it had happened this month but bfn this morning. 🤦🏻‍♀️ Good luck everyone! ✨

Emiily887 · 14/07/2024 22:29

@Cabbagepatchkid1 it really is! How are you holding up? Any symptoms?
@Cariad90 it’s so disappointing seeing bfn isn’t it😢 fingers crossed for you - how many dpo are you?

I went to the toilet and had more cm with a tiny streak of blood. Implantation bleed maybe?!🤞🏼 really don’t want to get my hopes up but between that and a possible squinter this morning I feel like something is going on, just don’t know what yet xx

Cabbagepatchkid1 · 15/07/2024 16:53

@Emily887 No symptoms and no sign of a line on the tests. I have a slightly short cycle so I think I’m out this month :(

How are you? Any sign of a slightly stronger line?! 🤞🤞🤞

Edited

I’m 9dpo today but still a bfn. Although I looked back at my tests from first time around and nothing showed until 11dpo anyway, and even that was super faint.

In was convinced I was pregnant as I was feeling really nauseous but I’ve only just come off the pill this month so maybe it’s just my body adjusting. It seems to have stopped now anyway.

Hope you get a clear line tomorrow! How are you feeling?

Emiily887 · 15/07/2024 23:04

@Cabbagepatchkid1 when is af due for you? Not out until she shows her ugly face! Tomorrow is a new day!!
@Cariad90 fingers crossed you get something in the next few days, it can vary so much! Fingers crossed for you both!

I ran out of cheapies so did a cb early that I had (hate those tests) but not even a hint of a line until after 10 min which would have defo been an evap with cb! Thinking yesterday’s must have been false faint positive but with the one bit of blood I just have a weird feeling it may have been something. Maybe I’m just holding onto hope😢
I’ve ordered another box of cheapies as I refuse to waste money on other brands until I know abit more and then I can feed my poas addiction without the guilt🤣 they come tomorrow so I’ll test again then. Really hoping to test and just see a definite line but I just feel deflated now😭 symptoms seem to be lying low still this month. So many emotions, ttc really is so hard isn’t it. Fingers crossed for us all ladies xx

Cariad90 · 16/07/2024 08:11

Okay, so I had a barely visible line on a cheapie so took a frer and I can see a faint but definite line! I really hope this is it for us - still need to get hold of the baby asprin, hopefully that will help it stick 🤞🏻 hope you all get some good news today x

Emiily887 · 16/07/2024 15:24

@Cariad90 this is amazing news!! Congratulations lovely! Praying for a sticky bean for you🥰
Still waiting for my Amazon delivery which is now saying between 6&9 tonight typical!! Feel like I’m just completely clueless right now lol xxx

Cariad90 · 16/07/2024 21:52

Thank you. Argh that’s so frustrating! Hope they’ve arrived now and you get a line in the morning 🤞🏻
