  • Hi all, 8 DPO.  I couldn't wait and used one of my dollar store tests and got a BFN.  Not going to test again until the weekend or longer if I can hold out!   :)  I ovulated a week earlier than usual this month.  Found out using OPK (and then BBT and CM confirmed) and my DH and I had already BD 2 days in the fertile window without realizing we were in it.  Unfortunately no noticeable symptoms.  Had more "pregnancy" symptoms during ovulation time frame.  Hope this is it.  Hoping for the best for everyone.  :D
  • I'm 7dpo and I also tested this morning and got a BFN, but that's because I'm on my way to an all inclusive in Mexico and I'm in the drink til it's pink camp. I will probably test DPO 9 and the DPO 11. Because of Zika, H and I actually got advised by my OB to stop TTC the day after I supposedly ovulated. It was probably too late, but I'm wearing a ton if bug spray and am outwardly hoping for BFNs, though I know I'm going to be sad. I had a dream last night that I had 3 embryos trying to implant but they couldn't. I have no idea what that means. FX for everyone!

  • I'm 10dpo.

    Still just charting and monitoring CM. won't test until Feb 1 (if AF hasn't shown up by then)

    Was feeling a tad hopeful this time because I normally have some spotting around CD21, which didn't happen this time...until last night, although it was a barely noticeable tinge when I wiped once.

    I have zero symptoms, other than being crazy tired, but that is par for the course with my work schedule right now. (One more day and I'm off for a week! Yay!)

    @chloe97 I hope you enjoy your vacation in spite of the Zika scare down there. I've heard some reports that say the whole thing is being blown out of proportion and that it isn't really spreading that fast....hopefully that is the case and your vacation remains zika-free (and maybe ends with a BFP!)

  • Thanks @PoeMasque I'm at a resort in Puerto Vallarta and I have yet to see a single mosquito (they spray pretty good here). As I texted my mom tonight, if I am pregnant, I'm probably doing worse things to my baby by spraying these chemicals on to my body. I brought DEET, but I'm going to stick to the lemon eucalyptus spray.

    I agree it's totally overblown, but like alcohol, soft cheeses, and deli meats, it's not worth the risk after the BFP, but I consume it all during the TWW!!

    7dpo here. Chart's been weird this month, temps all hovering just above coverline then a huge temp jump this morning. My charts are typically triphasic so this is different. I'm not expecting a bfp though since timing wasn't good with a sick dd. Also tired of getting my hopes up, so I'm not. Will test 2/3 at 13dpo if no af.

  • Ugh, well. Bright red once when wiping last night, brown when wiping all day today, super crabby, tired, and BFN with Internet cheapies (I'm 12dpo). All my regular AF symptoms. Looks like I'm out again.

    On the bright side I can drink tonight without worrying!

  • Sorry @PoeMasque. I'm 10 DPO today. Tested and BFN. Gonna try one more time tomorrow and Monday. Im bracing myself to be disappointed. 
  • @chloe97 at least you won't have to worry about Zika or margaritas now! (Although 10dpo is still a tad early to be sure) keeping my fingers crossed for you!

  • Thanks @PoeMasque my temperature is still really high and I had a tiny spot of blood on my swimsuit this morning. I'm not quite sure what to make of it. Before my loss, my cycles were 33 days but they seem to be speeding up. I'm on CD 27 today. I had a meltdown to H this morning. Since we got KU-d so fast the first time, I assumed we'd be the same the 2nd time. I'm not 100% out of the game yet, but the threat of disappointment sucks big time.
