10dpo

[Donnamaria1]

Hey girls I’m 10pdo is anyone else?
I have no idea how I feel this morning. I tested and was negative ☹️ I keep telling myself I’m too early to make myself feel better. Xx

Hi OP!

I'm about 10dpo too. I'm so sorry to hear you have a negative, but I do think it's still early. I have all my fingers crossed for you xxx

I feel bloated, slight cramps and a sore lower back…. All things that accompany my period every month ☹️ been trying for 3 months now and I’m so disappointed every month.
how are you feeling?
xxxxxxxxx

Oh I'm so sorry :(
You still don't know for sure though!
I don't feel anything yet but I tend to only start getting symptoms a couple of days before I'm due so I'll wait and see middle of this week coming up. I don't feel that optimistic for this cycle tbh. And I'm not feeling any sore boobs at all
x

I had my hormone blood tested at 21 into the cycle just to check I’m ovulating as I’m getting older so that will be back on Tuesday.
im already a mom but I never tried before and now I’m trying and watching every ovulation test it’s torture.
how many cycles have you been trying? xxxxxx

@Donnamaria1 oh my gosh same! I feel so similar to you at mo. Sorry ladies to just jump on. Scrolling through threads trying to feel less miserable. 8dpo. 11cycle. Feeling rubbish. Have a 13yr old who was a surprise and now we are trying not having any luck. Wishing you all the biggest bunch of baby dust. X

This is my first time ttc and we’ve probably been trying for about 16 cycles now. It’s been an emotional rollercoaster! Sending you both loooootsss of good luck! Xxx

Hey girls,
Woke up today and decided to take an untrained early pregnancy test from clear blue and it was negative sooo deflated again this month. So emotional everytime and it gets harder! I think I'm panicking because my age also (37) 😭 hope you girls have more luck this cycle ❤️ baby dust your ways xxxxxxx

Ultra early*

I’m so sorry 😔 It really is such an emotionally draining process. I have also started to now feel some period symptoms so I’m expecting bad news too. I’m trying to resist taking the tests but I’ve had many many cycles where I’ve taken ultra early tests - when it’s on your mind so much it often helps to find out earlier than later!

sending lots of good wishes your way xxx

Hi Ladies, I’m so sorry you guys are feeling this way. I too am also feeling beaten. I have promised myself I will no longer test until I’m a week late as it breaks my heart everytime. Sending you both hugs and much love and strength for your day xx

I hope you girls are okay sending love to you ❤️ xxxx
I told myself no more testing but I have period symptoms happening since last night and I started panicking 😭
I think if I test and it's negative I'm prepared for my period coming instead of my period coming on and it ruining my entire day.
It's so hard isn't it ☹️
I got my blood results this morning from my blood test on Friday and it says my progesterone level was 39.7.
They just said on the phone no action required so now I'm googling and it says something different on every page 🤦🏼‍♀️
Does any of you know about levels?
Xxxxxxxx

Okay girls I'm kind of freaking out!!!!
I went to the bathroom to empty my basket which also had my test I done this morning (which was negative after 10 minutes after I done it so I tossed it into my basket) Now there's a faint line! Omg! Is this an evaporation line 😭 why do tests do this when there's mums like us holding on to any hope at all! I'm sobbing ☹️😢
Should I go buy another test. Xxxx

@Donnamaria1 hey lovely, I’m so sorry but I do think that’s an evap line. It’s so thin. I don’t use these tests anymore because they are known for this issue and iv been in your shoes before.
maybe wait a day and do one anyway, but I’d say that line is not a line. Sending you big hugs. It’s so bloody hard isn’t it. Xx

See for the price of them you would think they would have some sort of block on evap lines from happening 😭
I have no idea how I feel today.
I just want me period to start to get it over with now and look to the next cycle.
So hard isn't it 😢
Hope everyone else is all good today xxxxxxxxx

@Donnamaria1 i wish I could sit in a space with you and we could cry, rant, laugh together. This journey is one of the toughest things iv ever put myself through. I’m so sorry you are feeling this way today. I’m still holding out hope for you.

and it’s awful isn’t it. For the money you pay. I use cheap dip sticks now. Nothing else till I see a second line. If I ever do x

The tests can change after 10 minutes so I think you have to go off the first result unfortunately. Worth testing again if your period ends up late though

my understanding for progesterone is that they consider a result above 28 as normal on day 21 of your cycle, but ideally you’d want it to be in the 40s which yours almost is. You can get progesterone gel (Emerita) to increase progesterone but I’ve never taken it myself so don’t want to advise yes or no, but it’s something you could look into or ask a GP about xx

Yes someone that's going through this right now to sit in a space and cry and laugh with would be wonderful. Do you ever think your partners are supportive but they just don't understand at the emotional level we are.

I won't do another test as I'm almost certain I have every symptom for my period starting 😔☹️

I might try that cream.... I will research it honey thank you 🙏🏻

All you girls feeling okay today ?
Xxxxxxx

@Donnamaria1 we all need this I think.
yes my partner is supportive but he is very much positive that it will at some point.

sending you all love and much and dust. Today can do one on my book. 🤦‍♀️

I am in same situation as you although my one came up within 10 minutes. I am 9DPO today. Is this an evaporation line? Can you see a faintest second line?

Yes today can do one as I've had enough of the emotions. Yes my partner is the same he just says it's all okay and it will happen when it's suppose to.
They don't get it at our level. Also do yous feel anxious when you need to say your period has come again because it feels like your body's not working how it should. Even though they are understanding and comforting but I just feel like I dread saying it's here again.
Baby dust to all yous wonderful people xxxxxxxxx

I can see a very faint line but I would wait a few days and test again. I know it’s so tough to wait!! All my fingers crossed for you - keep us updated!! X

Awwww sending you all the best wishes!!! Baby dust all over ❤️ let me know if you test again. xxxxxx

I tested again with fmu, first one is clear blue and second one is easy at home. The clear blue one is the early detection one. What do you guys think?

I’m afraid I personally can’t see anything but it’s really difficult to tell from photos. When I have had a BFP in the past it did look extremely faint even on day after period was due, and photos didn’t pick it up. If you can resist I’d wait a few more days, but I know it’s impossible sometimes! If you reaaaally can’t resist I’d try get hold of a CB test that just says Pregnant or Not Pregnant rather than the lines.

i so so hope this is the cycle for you!!! Keep us updated! Xxx

I’m 13dpo today, woke up and took my temperature and it had risen so I got excited but I’ve also had a brown tinge to my cm and had a bfn yesterday. This is so hard! Cycle #2 after my mc in April.
