Anyone else 9DPO with no symptoms and waiting to test?

[BePinkWriter]

9DPO today and literally feel nothing apart from slight period type cramps that come and go. My period is due Monday (24th).
I have a gut feeling that I’m out again this cycle. I told myself that I wouldn’t test until my period is at least 3 days late because the disappointment of seeing a negative test again is too brutal.

is anyone on a similar DPO to me and experiencing any “symptoms”. It might be too early but I see people online talking about how they “just knew” or they had symptoms this early, and there’s me with nothing every month!

TIA x

im either 9dpo or 0, my symptoms are cramps like yours but also ewcm. I have a weird pressure near my c section scar and a fluttering feeling.
so either way something is happening, but most likely ovulation again and back at square one :( I took a test today and bfn so not hopeful.
if it helps with my first I had no symptoms other than cramps!

Oh no, I’m sorry 😔
I tend to get some form of cramping on the lead up to my period anyway so this isn’t really anything different for me unfortunately 😔 I did notice some cervical mucus on the toilet paper when I peed this morning that was clear and watery in consistency but that could just be caused by hormones as my period isn’t too far away so I’m trying to not read into it! Argh!

It’s all so confusing isn’t it, I’m trying not to symptom spot as having pmos and endo I just get random things in my cycles anyway.
I wish there was a 1dpo test 🙈😂

I'm 9dpo today and trying not to symptom spot, but I just can't help myself. My nipples are less sensitive than they were but my partner says they still feel heavy (I don't know - I carry them around all day so dont really notice!). I'm not sure if the veins on my breasts are a pregnancy sign or if they're there all the time. I've been having some lower abdo cramping - I don't usually have that, not sure if that's a positive sign or just because I've increased our fibre intake. I had a tiny, tiny little bit of spotting on the toilet paper, the tiniest hint of light pink, so not sure if that means anything.

I caved this morning and tested. It was negative. I knew it would be, especially considered I'd urinated 2 hours prior.

I've looked back over my cycle list - my luteal phase hasn't been great - 9-11 days for the last 18 months. So the fact there's been no significant spotting yet, I'm taking that as a plus. I'm trying not to get my hopes up, though.

I'm desperately hoping for a positive, we've been trying for almost 2 years (with a short ttc break in the middle). It's so tiring, frustrating and disheartening.

Ugh I totally understand. It’s so hard and disappointing! I’m 10 DPO today and almost tested, although managed to talk myself out of it. I know if it’s negative I will just be annoyed at myself for wasting a test when my period isn’t even late yet! I’m trying to tell myself that until my period is a few days late.. all symptoms are just progesterone symptoms and not pregnancy! X

It's so frustrating!

Have you managed to hold off testing again? I didn't, tested again this morning, negative again this morning.

I don't know if I felt a little nauseous this morning, or if it was because my partner asked me (getting quite excited last night) whether I'd had any nausea. I didn't think I was so receptive to being led but I think I may be! I've definitely still got sore breasts though.

Two out of the last three nights I've dreamt I was pregnant

Good luck to you all!

I’m 12dpo and tested negative today. Felt crampy every evening since about 5dpo so it’s been agonising waiting and wondering. I even got spots come up at 7dpo - exactly same as what happened when I fell pregnant with DS. The wait is stressing meeee!

I’m 9DPO & got a BFN this morning. I’m pretty sure I’m out this month, gut feeling so I won’t test again until AF.
I’ve been TTC on & off for a long time now & each month it gets harder & harder.

Ah I’m sorry it was negative! Maybe test again in a few days?! I haven’t tested because I’m pretty sure I’m not pregnant.. I’ve had very light pink spotting on and off for the last two days (10DPO and 11DPO) so I think my period is going to come a few days early as I also have cramping like my period is about to start any minute 😔 TTC is so cruel because I never had any kind of spotting before I was trying to get pregnant, but I’ve noticed it twice since trying to conceive and the first time I convinced myself it was implantation bleeding (it wasn’t!) so now I feel like I know it’s just only a matter of time before my period starts properly! X

It’s so tough! Hang in there and don’t give up 😔 x

Ahhh.. maybe test again in two days?! Good luck!

@BePinkWriter I hope it’s the outcome you’re NOT expecting!!

Pinkish spotting with CM this morning and crampy. Negative test. Here AF comes :(

I might start BBT charting again next month. I did this with DS and I suspected a couple of days before I tested that I was pregnant which kept the urge to test at bay. I need a different method other than testing every day as it’s just horrid isn’t it

@Juststarting12 fingers crossed for this month. You’ve still got a couple of days for a positive to appear! X

Thank you @Baby2pls&@BePinkWriter12DPO today & BFN so I’m pretty sure I’m out 😔

I also occasionally have spotting a few days before my period starts, I get my hopes up & then AF arrives. Such a rollercoaster of emotions. DC is 6 soon so I think if it hasn’t happened by the end of the year I’m going to have to try & accept it probably won’t & we’ll stop trying. It breaks my heart but I can’t keep doing this every month, I’m always thinking about ovulation testing, timing things right, it’s exhausting.

Sending lots of luck to you all.

Aww, Juststarting12, it is hard. I think about ovulation and testing a lot too.

I've just woken up, 13dpo today, just lazing in bed, not wanting to disturb him. I've had a little bit of spotting for the last 36 hours. My breasts are still so sore, heavy and feel full. I think when I go to the loo, AF will have arrived but he's still optimistic.

How's everyone else doing?

I came on my period today 😩 even though I knew it was coming, I can’t help but feel disappointed and sad!

@BePinkWriter sorry to hear that. It's always disappointing, even when you know it's coming. I hope you're OK and that your symptoms aren't too bad.

Mine started today too. Deep down, I knew it wasn't going to be this cycle but my partner doesn't usually get his hopes up, he's very sensible (he told me if it didn't come by next Friday then I should test - I told him there was no way I'd hold out thay long!), but he seemed to be getting excited and optimistic this cycle too, really believing there was a chance we'd conceived this cycle and that optimism was getting me excited

Hey ladies. I’ve entered my fertile window, Flo is saying ovulation on the 2nd and Premom says the 3rd. Going to start DTD tomorrow and hope he can manage 4 days in a row lol 😂🙏🏼

Ahhh good luck!! I must admit, I use the Flo app to track my ovulation and it hasn’t worked for me yet 😔 I’m starting to think it’s not very reliable! So frustrating! Let me know how you get on! My ovulation day is 4th September according to the app. I’m praying for a miracle this month!

I’d always gone with this app and taken it for gospel but then I realised that last time TTC I was BBT tracking as well. My friend was telling me this week that apparently the chances of falling pregnant are higher when you’re using two different methods of tracking ovulation! I’m using OPK sticks now to try to pinpoint the exact day! Good luck and let me know too x

How is everyone getting on?

Currently in another two week wait… 4 DPO today. I’ve got everything crossed this month! How are you getting on? X

5DPO for me. I think if it’s not successful this month I’m going to buy the Clearblue ovulation tests

7dpo here… I’ve been really good at not obsessing but then yesterday I had really different discharge for me so now I’m spiralling 😂 not testing until 10dpo though!
