Hey all, 4po tomorrow! Would love company to make the days go quicker 😁

Cycle 2 TTC after an early MC last month! DP works nights so trying this month wasn't great timing wise. We managed to BD 5 and 2 days before ovulation so I'm hoping it's enough.

Xx

Thank you @Marie1990x !

I also had a faint line on 10 or 11DPO with first and only on 11 or 12DPO it was for sure visible without much effort, but still faint.

AmberM223 · 11/10/2024 07:50

b@MyGardenDaisies oh sorry lovely 😢 BUT we are all still in it…i’m really really trying to have my positive head on today! we are all still super early and who knows… I can’t test till Monday earliest now, i don’t think i can cope with any negatives over the weekend i’m just going to try enjoy it!

MyGardenDaisies · 11/10/2024 07:52

@AmberM223 same! I actually don’t have a chance to test before Monday unless I bring my tests with me this weekend
away, so I’m gonna leave them at home and enjoy a weekend.

Well im 9pdo and have a shadow. i'm comparing to my stark whites and its so light i cant get a good enough pic but i swear there is something. Even if i did get a pic It's dry now so not very reliable! Last 2 days ive had some Nausea, back ache, a constact feeling of not feeling right? If im not, honestly the mind plays the craziest tricks 😂

Marie1990x · 11/10/2024 08:03

@AmberM223 @MyGardenDaisies thats good you can’t test until Monday, will keep you sane if they’re out of sight.

Still waiting for my progesterone blood results 🙄. They’re usually on my app super early the next day. Hoping I don’t have to wait til Monday

MyGardenDaisies · 11/10/2024 08:13

@JMassey ohh fingers crossed it gets to BFP !

lockdownbabyx · 11/10/2024 08:18

@Marie1990x yeah I thought that too, but mine seems like quite a bit dip? I'm not sure. Have everything crossed 🤞🏼

I’m not familiar with the temperature testing - do you just take any way at the same time each day? Like could I just use an ear termometer?

@MyGardenDaisies I'm not sure how accurate the ear ones are. It's recommended to use a Basal thermometer, just be the first thing you do as soon as you wake up. If you have an Apple Watch that takes your temperature I think you can use this too.

I mainly use it to confirm I've ovulated as it's the most accurate way xx

MyGardenDaisies · 11/10/2024 10:22

@lockdownbabyx oh really I didn’t knee about Apple Watch , I’ll have a look.

I’ve been really down since this morning’a test. I know if still might be positive eventually or even if it’s next month, I’ll look back and think “oh wow it took us only 3 months”, but in the moment it just feels like so much effort with timed intercourse, supplements, tracking, testing, throwing money at it, being in tune with the body, etc. I honestly bow down to those who have been trying for a long time, let alone for multiple children.
so lucky to have my baby with first try and none of this the first time round

MyGardenDaisies · 11/10/2024 07:38

Thank you @AmberM223 , you’re all so lovely and supportive! X

just tested with 2 cheapies and stark negative. 😕
I maybe see something similar to that yesterday’s test on one of them (attached), but it must just be the indent of the test ?

ugh Can’t lie I’m sad.

I did stumble on a comment somewhere on Mumsnet that said :
I know this is an old thread but for the sake of any of you ladies out there deep digging threads anxiously in the tww, I just wanted to add that there is usually a small initial surge of hcg secreted at the moment the zygote hits the uterine wall in the first stage of impantation, the next surges of hcg come a few days later if full implantation was successful. This can give a faint positive result, a few BFNs then should climb again to give positives a few days after implantation. Only in early early testing will this surge,dip, surge be observed.

I had quite a bit of cramping yesterday, so I’m clinging on to hope, that maybe I implanted 7DPO (yesterday), and it’s still just 8DPO, there’s still hope…
but I also have no idea where that poster got the info 🧐😂

I see something!!

OverthinkingBrain · 11/10/2024 11:40

Gosh you ladies started early today 😂 I can't keep up with you all. To those that have tested BPN, please stay hopeful it's still early days! I'm trying to remain as positive as possible. I haven't tested today but woke up with more spotting this morning that seems to have eased off again, I'm not testing, rather stay with the hope for now and not depress myself seeing the negative.

Marie1990x · 11/10/2024 11:41

call me crazy, but being at home and in my own head I stupidly decided to do another test (god help me). I’m probably seeing things, and please feel free to bring me back down to earth, but I’m sure I can see the faintest of faint shadows.
Not taking it as anything as it’s these dodgy boots strip tests that barely show a test line but it’s spurred me on a bit 😅

4dpo tomorrow! Anyone else? :)

I definitely see what you see! 100% test again in the morning (or later today 🤣)

I just had some more cheap tests be delivered (one step) but I literally went to the loo about 20 mins before they arrived so wasn't a very long hold. BFN of course x

OverthinkingBrain · 11/10/2024 12:01

@MMarie1990x I see it too, but it also looks abit grey? Could it be evap? I'm also at home working but I'm doing so well not to cave. @lolockdownbabyx try a better hold?

@OverthinkingBrain yeah I will probably try again later. I don't know why I'm being so obsessive 🤦🏻‍♀️ I'm usually quite good. In my head I KNOW it's still super early. I've been crampy the last could have days and sensitive boobs so I'm just prayinnnnnng.

You have done well not to test, at least one of us is sensible 😂. X

@lockdownbabyx haha I have one steps on their way too; due to be delivered at 1:30 so trying not to pee til then as we all know I won’t hold off 😂.

@OverthinkingBrain in 99.9% sure it’s just an evap but that doesn’t stop me overanalysing haha 😂

I don't know if this helps or makes it worse to see...you just need do a good hold and try again so atleast you've held for 3 hours...or just not test now until Monday if you can hold off?

OverthinkingBrain · 11/10/2024 12:19

@MMarie1990x I guess if you are going to test then good idea to have a good hold. @loclockdownbabyx I don't think I'm being sensible, works just been super full on this morning so it's not been thinking about it but I might test tomorrow morning, think I'll be 9dpo then.

lockdownbabyx · 11/10/2024 12:21

@OverthinkingBrain I will do another one in a few hours. I would love to hold off until Monday but it is unlikely.. considering my plan was to not test until Saturday at the earliest 🤣. Nevermind, I'm still optimistic. I just feel like something is happening xx

Yeah 9dpo is a good starting point I think! It's good you have been busy. I haven't the last 2 days so that's why I've been more obsessive about it than normal 🫣

OP posts:
OverthinkingBrain · 11/10/2024 12:34

I don't see the harm in testing aslong as it doesn't get you down. I tested too much last month and just found myself getting disappointed and abit too obsessed so I'm really just trying to hold off. I've had abit more spotting too just so I don't know if it's good or bad but I just don't want know yet 😂

Marie1990x · 11/10/2024 12:40

@OverthinkingBrain Yeah I think I’m just used to the BFN’s now so it doesn’t really affect me 😂.

Getting a little ahead of myself because I was excited about actually getting a peak 😂
