Anyone else going insane and just wanna rant?

Honestly just need someone to be in a similar situation to me to reassure me I'm not the only insane one.
Currently around 9DPO if I ovulated when I think I did (going by the sharp pain and CM). Issue is I came off the pill early December so I don't know if my cycle is as accurate as Flo and I have predicted.
I've had a dull ache, almost like AF is due with some kind of... electric shock mild stabby pains in my lower stomach? The worst part is I don't know if that implantation pain or if I'm actually going to be visited by AF or if my cycles just a complete mess.
Stupidly have done a few of those cheap dip HCG tests which have obviously been BFN but convinced myself one was positive, turns out it wasn't a faint line but fluff from my pjs 😂 Ordered 2 FRER tests, I know I should wait a while longer but I'm so impatient! I absolutely hate disappointment. This is only my first cycle too!
Anyone else in a similar position? Or even just anyone wanna rant about their frustrations?

@SanFrancisco49er I have had way more symptoms this month than i ever had previously but I think maybe mine were due to my body changing after coming off the pill? It is hard to talk about and i am aware i dont want to bore people constantly talking about baby making, ovulation and egg white mucus but its all I think about 😂 When is your AF due?

@lilcl95 thank you and same to you!

I just don't feel it this month. I had definite symptons last time but maybe its with hindsight!
@xxlannixx i know what you mean, its hard to talk anyone in real life, reading all the threads on here is so helpful!

Im am in the exact same boat. Stopped my mini pill mid december. Thought i had EWMS so ovulation was happening then BOOM... 5 days later AF decided to make an appearance. Feel slightly gutted im not one of those that falls instantly preggers but relieved that atleast my cycles have started. I have a daughter who is now 8 and it took me 6 months of TTC before BFP. Its so reassuring reading everybodies posts and knowing theres so many ladies in similar positions.

@sredwards thank you! I'll keep checking x
@Sadiee88 yeah the only difference is they're not gradually getting worse like before my period, they just come and go x

@muda I know the feeling! This is my first cycle and I'm symptom spotting too. I just need to chill out but I can't help it. The worst thing is I've just got this feeling that I might be pregnant and I've never had a feeling this strong before. I'm super sensitive to any changes with my body and I just know these cramps aren't normal but I don't know if I'm putting it down the being PG or coming off the pill?! Let me know how you get on.

@SanFrancisco49er sorry to hear about your MC, hopefully this cycle brings you some better news. I also need to stop googling everything cause it's slowly sending me insane. Hope you get your BGP X

Yes! I am 10dpo and dying for some actual symptons! Been pregnant before, last July (ended in mc 9 weeks) and had increased heart rate, runny nose and change to boobs before BFP 1 day before period.
This is our first try since MC and ive had low level cramping today, sharp pains yesterday and a weird gush of watery wetness today. I dont usually gets any cramps until a couple of hours after AF starts. My heart rate is also much higher.
I know this will all be over in a few days and ill know either way but driving myself mad googling!

Hi, This is my first post! Just driving myself slightly insane and just discovered mumsnet when googling symptoms so thought I’d join the chat! This is my second cycle and we are trying for our first I am 36yrs old. I have no idea what is real and what is in my head and google every little thing I feel is vaguely not normal. I have slightly tender boobs which I’ve never had before even when af is due and today pain in my right hand lower side, I also feel a bit tired but that could be the dark dull weather. I really want to take a test but am trying my hardest to leave it for another 6 days when af is meant to arrive as I don’t want it to be negative but also would really like to know ASAP!

Sadiee88 · 15/01/2020 22:00

I had cramp like, stabby pains at the start. Sort of felt like i was going to start my period.... constantly. Good luck x

I had those pains when I was pregnant with my son very early on and stitch like pains. Keep doing the cheap strips they are more sensitive than the FRERs. Xxx
