I don't know if it's worth still being hopeful after testing today at 7 or 8 DPO. We're trying for our 2nd. It took us almost 2 years, a surgery for endometriosis and an IUI with injectables to finally conceive our amazing daughter. Now, we are ready for another and I was SOOOO hoping that it would just happen without all the effort and stress. You know, the way other people get pregnant!?! Well, even though have all the experience (borderline EXPERTISE) on TTC, I have been keeping a close eye on my symptoms and had thought that I was for sure pregnant. I found a pregnancy test that I bought a while back and took it this morning. Negative. It hurt my heart. I am trying to remain positive and hopeful. This is really just a rant. But, I guess I'm surprised to be this emotional and illogical over something that I should be smarter about now. Know what I mean?

It's still so early! Fingers crossed that you still have good news to come!
-
I think you have reason to hold out hope until at least 11-12dpo! and even some get later BFPs than that.
-
I should add, I got my BFP at 10DPO with DD. I didn't try testing before then.
-
It's still early! Personally, my hormone levels are always slow to rise. I've been pregnant 6 times (2 healthy pregnancies, 2 miscarriages, and 2 chemicals). I've never had a positive before 13 dpo, and not for lack of testing earlier. My pregnancy with my daughter I tested on 13 dpo and got a negative, and at 14 dpo it was positive but barely there and I thought I was imagining things.

Still so early! Don't lose hope!
Also it means so much to me to read your story about conceiving your daughter. We've been through 24 cycles of BFNs and I think I'm ready to try IUI once AF shows this cycle.
-
I can't recall how many cycles we tried on our own when we tried for our second. Our first was also an IUI injectibles baby. I might have only survived a few "maybe it will happen without medical assistance" rounds before we hopped back on the IUI train. Then on our second IUI injectibles round, baby #2 was on his way
Best of luck to you. Take good care of your mama heart. If you find yourself back at the RE just know that you're there with knowledge and experience and a little miracle you can hug.

I got negatives at like 10ish DPO with each pregnancy and clear positives a few days later. Good luck!
-
I tested early with my last pregnancy because I felt pregnant at around 9-10 DPO and got a negative AND I later found out I was actually pregnant with twins. So one just never knows when that BFP shows up. Keeping my FX that it'll be there soon.
-
I'm sure it's nerve wracking starting for #2 after a long journey with the first (I'm still working on #1 and can't help fantasizing that #2 will ultimately happen faster and with less loss when we get there). I've never gotten a
before 11dpo - and can feel implantation around 9/10 dpo - so still so early!
-
7/8 DPO is so early for me! I still got a faint line with DD1 at 10DPO and it didn't become clear as day till 13DPO.
-
That is super early. I always thought I got early positives and mine were all basically just squinters at 10dpo and only still faint at 11dpo. Still plenty of hope for you!
-
Thank you all! I'm still hopeful. I have moments where I feel like I know for sure that I'm pregnant. I'll know for sure in the next few days.
Best of luck to you. Take good care of your mama heart. If you find yourself back at the RE just know that you're there with knowledge and experience and a little miracle you can hug.
