9 dpo...

msuzannah

I was doing so awesome this month!! Usually after o I get antsy and test WAY before I should but this month I've made it all the way to 9dpo before going bat sh** crazy!! I keep telling myself to wait just a few more days before testing but it's driving me nuts!! It doesn't help that October 25 is my previous edd and all I want is to get a bfp before then. Is there anyone else who's about 9dpo? When are you testing and how is everyone staying sane?!

I started testing at 9dpo. This is when I got a faint positive with 2 prior pregnancies. It doesn't bother me too much to see negative at this time--still holding out hope and symptom spotting.
Good luck!

Im 9 dpo and I've already tested twice- 3dpo which I know was very stupid and 8 dpo. Im trying to hold out until 11 dpo to go again. I just would like a bfp before dh's birthday. Or af to show so I can get drunk with him on his birthday and then go back on the 'might be pregnant' diet.

I'm 10dpo today. I tested starting at 8dpo. Seems silly. I just tested on an ic and it's looking negative. With my first pregnancy there was a faint line on 9dpo so it's difficult to see another bfn at 10.

It isn't the early/frequent testing that makes me feel crazy. It's that I will stare at a test that is clearly bfn trying to see the faintest possible line. It's insane and what's worse is that I often convince myself I see something.

Are you testing today?

msuzannah

I'm giving in!!! Walmart has cheap tests (like $1) so it's ok if I test everyday until af is due... I'm the same way with my tests... I will stare at them and hold it up in all different kinds of light just in case there's a faint positive line! I've missed the first morning pee so I'll wait until tomorrow but I'm so afraid of being disappointed again!

Early testing is such a mind job. Just try to remember that in all but a few cases, testing before 10dpo is just a wasted test and an exercise in getting your hopes up, only to have them dashed.

Im going a bit mad waiting.. Definitely failed today as used my expensive digi test when I'm only 8dpo... I'd read about some women getting very early positives an thought why not ha but deep down I know prob a bit early, should have used a cheapy!

LilLambie

I've managed to hold out on 10 dpo first morning pee and I'm now at work for the next 10 hrs so I think I'll be able to make it until tomorrow- 11 dpo. I think if I'm still bfn then I'll call it. I got a very faint bfp at 10 dpo last pregnancy and a strong one 12 dpo so I think if there's nothing there tomorrow that will be it.

This post made me giggle because it's so me! I had faint positives at 8dpo with both of my prior pregnancies though, so even though I know it's ridiculous, I test early and often anyway. I'm a POAS addict and I like it I think as long as you are not making yourself totally crazy and can be realistic about the results of testing so early, you should do whatever makes you happy!

I'm 8dpiui & it is KILLING me.  I am dying to test too but I only have 2 tests and they're digital so I'm trying to save them for 13 and 14dpiui but I don't know if I'll make it!!

msuzannah

I made it all the way to this morning! Which makes me 11 dpo and I got a bfn

ThursdayMorning

Same. 11dpo and Bfn this morning. Starting to get a bit bummed.

msuzannah

I feel you @ThursdayMorning! It feels like I might be stuck on this board forever! Which makes me feel even worse because there are people who have been here longer than me... I just want to be in control because I'm a control freak...

LilLambie

Me too bfn all around. I just keep telling myself that sometimes implantation doesnt happen until 12 dpo so maybe I might be lucky still. I feel exactly how I did when I was 4 weeks pregnant last time (including (tmi) ridiculous thrush and a rock hard stomach). Gar this sucks.

ThursdayMorning

@LilLambie maybe now you can get drunk with your guy on his bday? I totally hear you on the "might be pregnant" diet. I tend to enjoy a few glasses of wine on AF day along with all the coffee I want and sushi.

Another BFN this morning. Blah. This makes 7 months of ttc (mc at month 3). Hard to not get frustrated.

Making reservations at my favorite sushi place for Friday.

LilLambie

Looking like it. I'm planning on doing another test tomorrow (13 dpo) and then af is due saturday. We are going out for dinner on Saturday night for mexican so I'm ordering margaritas.

I tend to be a poas addict I'm holding strong so far. Trying to make it to Sunday morning at which point I'll be 12 dpo, if it's negative then testing the 30th and if negative me and hubby are planning on getting drunk Halloween night. I can say that if it's negative I'm getting shit faced drunk lol.

Ha I don't blame you Hun, Halloween hangover
If mine is negative then we move house a week tomorrow so I plan on popping the champagne an drinking with a straw on 30th!
I'm 12dpo at mo and getting negative tests, my period is due tomorrow and last time I was preg I had a (sort of) period an got a positive afterwards.., see what happens! I feel like I'm definitely having all the symptoms if that's possible, but in my heart of hearts I just don't think it's my month!x

msuzannah

I got a bfp last night so I'm cautiously moving to a different board... I hope all of you ladies get a bfp!! I'm so glad other people like to obsessively test like me

Congrats @msuzannah! Best of luck!

Congrats!

I can't believe it. I'm now 16DPO and still BFN and three days late. Trying not to obsess about symptoms because they can all be in your head. I have felt moments of mild queasiness, definitely emotional and am super tired but hard to say for sure.

I've taken three different types of HPT. All very negative (no matter how much I squint!) Suspense is killing me. Either give me that BFP or AF so I can have a glass of wine already.

@thusdaymorning that is so stressful!! I hate it when our bodies decide "wtf I'm going to do what I want". Have you gone to the doctor for blood work? Maybe they would be able to pick up on something. I hope your body decides to figure out its crap!!
