Symptom spotting.

Thought i'd start a new thread so hopefully people can share what symptoms they're having on what day PO and then hopefully stay on to share the result at the end.

Might be a little easier having it all in one place with people that are going through the same other than googling it which is what I've been doing:))

@JadeA021 Ah that would make sense! According to the Clue app my ovulation date was Monday so that would be why i'm a day behind (my cycle is 29 days).

We are in the same boat there...until recently i didn't even realise there was a fertile window.... i thought you could get pregnant any time! Blush

@Pumpkinpatch000 It might actually be me working it out wrong or miss counting, I haven't included the day of ovulation which was sunday for me or so I worked out, which makes me 7DPO I think? I'm new to the whole ovulation timing thing all I know is AF is due on the 9th October.

@JadeA021 yes it's much better having it in one place, plus it good to actually talk with people going through the same thing. When i've googled i've read so many conflicting info and suggestions you don't have any symptoms this early on yet so many people seem to!

I have a stupid question... when you work out DPO do you include the day of ovulation? I noticed on the other thread we seemed to be due AF on same day but i thought i'd read you was 7DPO and I thought i was 6DPO so wanted to make sure i wasn't miss calculating! i'm so new too all this! Unless cycle lengths etc come into it which means it wouldn't be the same.

@Pumpkinpatch000 No problem, I thought it might help others in the same situation as me that like to use google to symptoms spot, so its a little bit easier to have it all in one place:)

Hello All!

It looks like a few of us are in the same position wise and it has made me feel better reading this thread, thank you for creating hit @JadeA012.

My symptoms have been very similar to those mentioned above. i'm now 6DPO and AF is due 9th Oct. From 3DPO i've had lower stomach cramps, mostly an achy pain but sometimes a little more uncomfortable. Also, nauseous and feeling emotional/anxious plus lower back pain, an upset stomach and tired. My boobs feel ever so slightly tender but nothing much really, it's not obviously noticeable.

Fingers crossed they are all good signs. Good luck everyone!

7DPO and I've still got every symptoms the same as before other than the nausea has got worse and I've lost my appetite:/ my boobs have a weird tingly feeling but they're not sore and I've needed to pee a lot more than before (TMI sorry) Fingers crossed they're all good signs:)

Thank you! I have a cupboard full of cheapy tests so i'm glad that it was one of them:) Yeah I mean if it does come up negative then I know i'm not completely out until AF arrives but atleast I know its not completely impossible to get a positive at 10/11DPO :)

Hiya :) it was 11dpo that I got my bfp. I did test on 10dpo and it was negative bit it was wierd as it wasn't as white as I was expecting but I couldn't see a line in any light either. But I kind of thought at that point it was positive.
The next day I tested and I got this
Only ever used the asda cheap pink dye ones which are about 2 for £3.50
Huge good luck for getting your BFP, would be lovely if it happened on your anniversary but remember it may be a day or 2 early.

Hi @Laura2018 Hopefully they are all good signs and you get your BFP in a few days!

@WhyTheHeckMe Thank you, i'm currently 7DPO and i'm feeling all of that except the sore boobs, they do feel strange though like a tingly feeling but not sore. I've woken up this morning just feeling Dizzy, Tired and Nauseous which I have been since 1DPO. When you did the test on 10DPO did it come up quite dark or was it faint? and what test did you use? (sorry for so many questions I'm just really nervous) I mean when i'm 10DPO its my anniversary so i'm hoping that I do get a BFP

Lower back ache and cramps in tummy, could just be AF coming though as i'm due on in 4 days. Fingers crossed for BFP

I was the same that why I decided to set up this thread just so I can compare with other people so I know that I'm not over thinking them! I'm thinking that I might do an early test at like 10/11 DPO and see what happens, I mean obviously I won't know properly until AF shows up but you never know! I agree though 2WW is far too long but Good Luck too you:)

Ooh good luck! I've started worrying that I'm just wishful thinking! 2WW is so long.

Hey @WeeEnglishRose
We're about a day in difference as i'm 6DPO and i'm pretty much exactly the same!
Have been short tempered since AF finished (could just be me being moody though haha) really bad lower back ache, Nausea that seems to be a lot worse before I go to bed, the same CM (Kind of like an egg white consistency Sorry TMI), Tired, Cramps and a tender lower stomach. The only thing I don't have is sore boobs, and the same Google told me that I was pregnant haha. I Also have had a really stuffy nose and headache since Ovulation which doesn't seem to be disappearing:( So Fingers crossed the signs are good:D

I'm probably about 7dpo, frantically symptom spotting!
I've been incredibly moody and short tempered for the past couple of days, got a sore neck, had headaches, few low abdominal aches and cramps, lots of white CM (TMI), backache, really tired, tender boobs. Google tells me that all these things could mean I'm pregnant Grin
