9dpo…. Desperate to POAS

[Starburst12]

It’a silly because I did a test this morning that was a BFN (I knew it would be!). It’s 9pm and I want to do another even though I know it’ll be the same and it’d be more diluted anyway 😂

I already have one DC, who I conceived on first or second cycle of ttc 4 years ago (and had BFP at 10dpo). I naively thought it would be just as quick this time around but here we are, cycle 5!

Please tell me I’m not the only one who has an urge to test even though I know it’ll be negative?!

Hello, this section of the forum is frequented by hundreds of women like you :) you can't control anything, so you have to try to relax...
For example, read a book, start a new series, do yoga...
Courage :)

I'm 8 or 9 dpo.
I poas 3 times today.
Cycle three of TTC number 3.
DC 1 is 18 and DC 2 is nearly 2 and took two years. I'm very keen not to go through all that again.
Have a feeling not pregnant this month.
I remember from the last bout of TTC that I'd sometimes get a line in the afternoon better than the first one. So that's my excuse for caving in so badly.

Ahhh I totally understand how you’re feeling!
10dpo and bfn this morning for me.

BFNs over here too. Think I'm 9dpo.. if there's nothing tomorrow I'll accept I'm out again

In 9dpo and POAS this morning because I couldn't wait any longer. Still stark white negative 🥲

Hi @Starburst12 I’m right there with you in thinking baby number 2 wouldn’t be this difficult. Baby number 1 was so straight forward in comparison. But you don’t get BFP at the same time each pregnancy. I’ve had a few losses and I’ve tested positive on different days each time and different to my daughter. It’s all a (very annoying) waiting game when it comes to the TWW xx

Oh it definitely is very confusing and frustrating!! What cycle are you on? It’s so different the second time around.

I have done a test this afternoon after a 4hr hold and it came back with a vvvvfl. So I’m holding now again for as long as I can and doing another test because tomorrow morning seems a million miles away.

@Starburst12 This is our 5th cycle since Feb 2024 but have had 3 losses which has thrown my cycles all over the place! Our daughter was conceived first cycle of properly trying after one “we’ll see how it goes” cycle!

Oooh fingers crossed for some good line progression!

@RoseannesMamma I’m so sorry for your losses. I have my fingers crossed for you.
Thats exactly how it was with my first!!! It set me up for thinking that it’s easy for me to conceive, it’ll be quick!

Hey @Starburst12 did you test again today?

@PennyPencils yes I’ve probably done 10 tests and have definitely got my bfp!
I’m not due my period until Thursday (according to my app) so I’m still very cautious but there has been a very good line progression so fingers crossed.

How are you doing?

Congrats on your BFP !

@Starburst12 that's great news! Huge congrats.

Well I've got a squinter situation. So used to the stark whites I know a hint of a line when I see it. I'll attach. It doesn't photograph well. There's something. Whether I'll have them or better tomorrow time will tell..

Too add I've had three of them today now

@StressStress thank you! How are you doing?

@PennyPencils ooh thats promising!!! Fingers crossed for you. It’s so difficult when you see a squinter, and pics don’t show it as clear do they? When I had my vvvvfl, my dp couldn’t see it at all and it made me feel like I was really imagining it. How sensitive is the test you’ve done?

@Starburst12 it's a 10m one. So pretty sensitive.
The fact tonight's is darker than the mornings is making a little hopeful.
Am very aware it could be nothing though so we'll see.
I had a burst of cramps two days ago which I felt was a little odd and I've got just lower back ache now. All AF symptoms anyway.

I think i see what you see !

@PennyPencils I think I see it. It’s so hard cos symptoms are the same for AF and pregnancy.

@StressStress thanks I hope it develops further tomorrow. AF due Friday...

I know @Starburst12 it's impossible to tell really. I chart BBT too and although it's not a typical bfp chart, it's not my usual when I've not conceived so I was a bit suspicious.

I’m just trying to wait to see if I’m late or not because the disappointment kills me every time. We’re 6 months to TTC number 2

@PennyPencils let us know how you get on in the morning 🤞

@Hatethisheadofmine fingers crossed for you! When is AF due? 🤞

@PennyPencils how you doing?

@Starburst12 ok thanks. Line was definitely darker today but not by much.
I've got a lot of backache. Feels like AF could arrive on time.

How are you and your BFP doing?

Here's the test from this AM

@PennyPencils oh I can definitely see it on todays one! Fingers crossed for you lovely.

My lines have been developing well until this evening when I did a clear & simple cheapy test where I could barely see a line. Now I’m worried!
I had a pretty strong clear blue result this morning (attached), surely my hcg wouldn’t drop that quickly if anything bad was happening?
