Bfn at 9dpo. :( Anyone else?

[bcblondie]

I know I'm not out by any means... My last 2 pgs I got my bfps at 10 and 11dpo. But it's just so hard seeing glaring bfns while everyone around me is getting pregnant, especially those that were preventing. It's such a slap in the face. I recently had a miscarriage too so I'm resentful that I even have to ttc again, kwim?

Anyone else in the same boat? Wanna wait it out with me?

Oh side note. I got a pos opk the last 2 days. Normally I would take it as a really good sign because I believe in the whole opk as hpt thing. It worked with my last 2 pgs. But by the darkness of them you'd think my hpt would be pos by now. Makes me think there's another cause for it.

And yes I've definitely o'd already. My temps are pretty clear.

[OSTC]

I'm kind of in the same boat as you... I got a neg yesterday @ 9po & pretty much decided I was out... Then today I tested again as I'm on progesterone cream and supposed to be taking a break from it in the next 2 days so I have to make sure I'm not pg first... And I think I got the faintest bfp ever today but not dark enough to be sure... You can check out my tests here if you want... So here I sit going nuts just wanting to know if I'm out or not... & I totally understand the feelings about everyone else getting pg... that has been me for the last year... A couple of months ago I found out that friends of ours are due 2 months after there first baby turns one & I had a really hard time with it being so easy for them... *Hugs* during the wait and I hope that your able to get a bfp in the next couple of days.

Bahh!!! I'm pretty sure that's a bfp!! Pee again! Do a digi! lol. (I'm a pusher)

Yeah it sucks being in this limbo phase. I hate getting my hopes up and then feeling stupid when AF shows:(

I went to the Dr's and peed again and it was a neg... But I'm still hopeful as I've taken a lot of this brand of tests and the have never been pink if there wasn't a reason and it was only a few hours after taking the first test.... I also got a form for a blood test so I'm going to go get that done tomorrow and in the mean time I picked up a 2-pack of frers and a First Response Digital... So the plan is to take the Frer in the morning and then if it's a darker line try the digital... I'm so wired/stressed waiting to find out if this is for real!

Yup... A few month back I was sure I was pg as I had a 17 day lp and I felt so stupid getting my hopes up when good old af showed up at 18dpo... If it's not going to be my month I much prefer the shorter lps...

Are you going to test again tomorrow @ 10dpo? Let me know how it goes if you do!

[bcblondie]

I'm very suprised it was neg at the docs becuase I'm pretty sure that's pos. But I bet their tests are less sensitive. I bet you'll get a bfp tomorrow. take a pic and show your doc!

I agree on the shorter LPs if you're not pg. I take B6 to improve my lp but lately I've been stopping at 12dpo if bfn becaues I know I'm out then. AF might as well come lol.

I'm definitely testing in the morning!! Feels like huge pressure. I feel liek if I"m pg it should show at 10dpo. Even though with DS it was 11dpo.

[OSTC]

Well I think I got 3 more bfp! :) Last 2 pics here!

Have you tested yet? crossing my fingers for you!

[bcblondie]

Yeah i tested bfn. On opk too. I don't get it at all. Did I o twice?!

You're def pg! Congrats!

[geek_the_girl]

Ill hang with you! I have been TTC on and off for over a year. Im 38 and my periods have become super long (38-40 days instead of 24-26 days) due to stress and weight gain. Its reaaaally frusterating. I *think* I may have O'd around the normal time this cycle, just not sure of the exact day so im am allegedly 7-10 dpo. I tested on friday (5-8 dpo) and again on Saturday morning with FMU (6-9 dpo) and negatives both times. Im going grocery shopping today so im sure ill buy another test. Im just starting to get that defeated feeling and starting to feel nervous because I cant stand that feeling of disappointment.

Congrats OSTC!

[bcblondie]

Yup. I know how you feel. I feel completely defeated. ALmost pointless for me to keep testing but I"ll do one more tomorrow just in case.

[geek_the_girl]

Just got back and took the grandaddy of them all. The digital. BIG.FAT.-NO. MmmmmHmmm.   If I dont laugh about it then im gonna cry. Effing negative.

[bcblondie]

I'm gonna cry too. Hugs. :(

[Drummer's Wife]

Hang in there, ladies (and congrats, OSTC  ).  It's not over 'till it's over, yk?  9-10 DPO is still really early.  I'd guess most pregnant women don't (or wouldn't) test positive at that point.  I am in the same boat, though, and I know it's easy to get really bummed out.  I was 9 DPO yesterday and got a BFN (though I swear there was a hint of a line, but I'm pretty sure I'm just crazy - LOL).  I didn't test today at 10DPO, and will first thing in the morning tomorrow.  Still, I figure I'm not out until I'm out.  My LP tends to be 13-14 days, so I figure there's still a little bit of hope. 

Best of luck, all!

[bcblondie]

Drummers wife you are right. Although I got a bfp with my 3rd pg at 10dpo so I guess I feel like I should again. Which is weird becuase with DS it was at 11dpo. So I could easily get one tomorrow I guess. But I just feel out... :( I hope you're right though.

[chicajones]

I'm right there with you guys! I'm at 9 DPO and I was really trying to hold off testing until at least 12 DPO, but I couldn't do it, and of course--BFN. It was an internet cheapie, too, which are supposed to be pretty sensitive. But, like Drummer's Wife said, anything before 14 DPO is still way early and will show as negative for many women. I really hope that's the case for me--we definitely had good timing, I know I O'd, and my stomach has definitely felt strange ever since (bloating/cramping, twinges now and then). This is our first month really "trying" and I know the chances are low, but DH is out of town this week and I would loooove to welcome him back with good news. :)

OSTC, you definitely look like you've got a BFP (combine all those lines and your line would be BRIGHT pink!). ;) Congrats!!

[geek_the_girl]

I have been having pretty bad cramps since Monday and a slight headache yesterday. Tonight the cramps kicked in in full force and I have a raging headache. I will say that this feels like my good old pms symptoms only much worse and I did wipe tonight and saw some very light pink. Sooooo... Either AF is coming at a normal time finally or its implantation. If its AF though it sure feels like it will be a doozy. I dont remember the last time I had such a bad pre AF headache.

Soo sorry Bcblondie... *hugs* I hope you get a bfp in the next couple of days!

Thanks for all the congrats guys! I'm just waiting to hear back about my blood test so I can start telling people!

[geek_the_girl]

Tested this morning FMU with second digital. Negatron.
Making plans to get a thermometer and joining FF. My bright side is that Friday is my anniversary so I get to have some wine.

Blondie and Chica, how are you girls doing this morning?

Super busy at work today, but wanted to pop in with a quick update:

My temp went down today (but not past coverline). However, I woke up at 4am and was up for a bit (having trouble sleeping), then did my temp at 6am (my normal time). Wondering if the lower temp is cuz I was up out of bed for a bit (and my house is cold). I may disregard it depending on tomorrow's temp.

Major cramps today and felt a bit nauseous for a while, also feeling kind of bloated. I really have no idea what to expect. I think I might test again tomorrow (11dpo). I have a ton if internet cheapies so I might as well use them. :)

geek_the_girl: FF is pretty sweet, I may end up actually paying for the "advanced" membership if we don't have any luck in the first few months. Lots of good insights on there.

[bcblondie]

Thanks girls. Another bfn for me today.11dpo so I'm def out. Hope you girls are pg though.

[chicajones]

I think I'm out too...my temps have shot down (http://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/32b88b). All signs point to AF's impending arrival, probably this weekend. I guess I should really be happy even if AF shows up, since that would make the second normal cycle I've had since going of BC. I'll put my BFP hopes over on that, at least for now.
