3DPO and feeling generally shit. Tiny little stabbing pains in my pubic area and my lower back is killing. Feeling sick and generally full. Have a feeling I'm just getting a bug but can't help wondering if it's something else. I know 3DPO is far too early for any kind of symptoms but its always in the back of my mind 🤷🏼‍♀️
Anyone else's AF due around 21st feb?

@AliSxo @HalfPenny28 me too, dont know why I tested again after yesterday. Going to leave it a few more days now and not test until Tues (hopefully!)

AliSxo · 15/02/2020 11:32

Same @HalfPenny28 9DPO today and bfn 😢

gingerglitter4ever · 15/02/2020 09:53

@HalfPenny28 shit sorry to hear that... what dpo are you? Hope you get a BFP soon!

@calimommy is yours the pinkish cm people mention or more like a light flow? I’m a pretty heavy bleeder so I think I’d be more towards the flow side of the spectrum 🤔 not sure though 🤷🏼‍♀️

HalfPenny28 · 15/02/2020 09:33

Tested this morning and bfn 😟

inahaze · 15/02/2020 08:45

@Blackbelt yeh I get that. Especially when my 4yo is a complete nightmare or I have a lie in and I think omg do I really want to go back to square 1?

calimommy · 14/02/2020 23:28

I normally get implantation spotting so I'm waiting on that! 😬😬😬

gingerglitter4ever · 14/02/2020 22:20

Did any of you who are 7dpo or later experience any noticeable implantation pain/ symptoms? I’m tracking BBT and am curious if anyone has seen a dip and or felt something related to that dip

AliSxo · 14/02/2020 20:32

@calimommy I think it's the best word to have used!! 💗 xx

Fifol · 14/02/2020 20:17

Well I feel like a maniac anyway Grin I'm determined to wait to test but it's so hard. Wish I could forget about it until time to test but no such luck!

calimommy · 14/02/2020 19:39

Well I didn't mean to call people
Maniacs haha but I suppose that's what it feels like at times

AliSxo · 14/02/2020 19:31

I agree @calimommy I've been one of those maniacs you describe and it's done me no good it has caused me such heartache with bfns at 3dpo, looming back it's ridiculous! I think I have line eyes even when there's nothing there, I'll look back at pictures I was conceited there were lines on and they're stark white. 9DPO tomorrow and it's so early to test so I think I'll wait 💕 xx

LuluHeidi · 14/02/2020 16:13

That's such a positive message @calimommy thanks very much! It has certainly made me feel more relaxed.

I tested on Wednesday.. much earlier than I said I would.. and got a BFN! I felt sad for the rest of the day which is stupid really as this is my first month trying and I also tested too early so what did I expect! Anyway, since Wednesday I've felt much more relaxed and genuinely believe it when I say I won't be testing for another week at least. I'd actually be just as excited by AF arriving so that I can better track my cycle after the pill. I'm currently on CD27.

Good luck to anyone testing this weekend!

Fifol · 14/02/2020 16:10

Haha @calimommy I feel the same a couple of ladies on another thread got bfps and I was like I want one too! But no, gonna wait and just hope theres no AF and will test next weekend if not!

I'm nervous because I know I'll be super disappointed if I'm not Confused

Fingers crossed for us all!

calimommy · 14/02/2020 15:57

@Fifol absolutely! But I hate to see people feeling so low and on some threads they appear almost manic 😬, when there might be no need. I know my experience is in isolation, not exactly a case study haha but sharing it regardless x I'm not immune to anxiety. I'm 5/6? DPO now and after seeing so many tests on here yesterday I almost did one myself. I actually took it out of the drawer and then said "wtf is wrong with you calimommy" 🙈😂😂🙈

Fifol · 14/02/2020 15:47

@calimommy I think we all know really it's too soon but doesn't stop our brains getting into overdrive! I try to be realistic even to avoid disappointment but it's hard not to get excited when feel something different Smile

That's why I'm gonna wait till AF late though x fingers crossed it will be!

calimommy · 14/02/2020 15:35

Symptoms are very hit and miss, they are also the same as what you might normally experience. I've had 5 pregnancies and none of my symptoms ever really started until 6weeks or later. Even after I had loads of scans and dr appointments, symptoms would come and go, freaking me out of course. One day my boobs wouldn't be sore and I wasn't as nauseated so I'd be crippled with fear of loosing it. And the next day I'd be clung to the loo vomming. At this stage it really is so soo early. Also I'm not sure if it was this thread or another where people were discussing limiting their diets etc at this stage to pregnancy diets, no ibuprofen, sushi etc, tbh you can't live your life like that, in a maybe. Also it will not have any repercussions. I always say, until I see that second line, all bets are off. With my third baby (5th pregnancy) I was POSITIVE I was pregnant purely from a buzzing I had in my mind, but kept getting BFN, it was also Xmas so re diet and drink all hell was breaking loose 😂. I finally got a tiny squinter on new yrs eve, which was after I expected AF, and he is currently destroying the playroom.
Sorry I have rambled a bit here, but my point was that we should all keep going as normal and know that until there is enough hormone to give a positive test you might not feel anything at all and that until 7-9 weeks the corpus luteum is sustaining the egg, it isn't even using the same blood system as you yet so you won't damage the potential baby by eating sushi or drinking 5coffees (I live on caffeine even when pregnant FYI, my children are allergic to sleep). Xxx

becca321 · 14/02/2020 11:07

@AliSxo I'm the same, was so certain I was pregnant yesterday, felt ill, painful boobs and funny taste in the back of my throat, but had some very sharp pains in left side, know I have cysts so wondering if 'symptoms' are down to them.
@Fifol fingers crossed for you!

Fifol · 14/02/2020 09:47

Mine weren't as sore yesterday morning but by evening were very sore and are killing me today so really hoping this is it!

AliSxo · 14/02/2020 09:37

@becca321 same I'm 8DPO bfn! It's very early so let's not be disappointed, my boobs were so sore yesterday and Wednesday but don't feel it much today but there's still time 😂 I don't want to test now until Sunday when I'm 10dpo xx

becca321 · 14/02/2020 09:01

Feeling rubbish, this morning gave in and tested at 8dpo and got negative 😪. Boobs just as sore anymore and starting to feel like any symptom I had was in my head 🙈 so frustrating waiting!

Twitchett22 · 14/02/2020 08:20

@Blackbelt could just be hormones? Don't read too much into it, wait and see for definite first and then see how you feel either way.

@HalfPenny28 I'm 7dpo today and I've also had noticeable heartburn/reflux over the night! Not bad enough to make me sick but I've felt generally shit for a few days now 😬

OP posts:
HalfPenny28 · 14/02/2020 06:58

So I woke up in the night (about 3am) and had the worst acid reflux which actually made me sick! First time this has ever happened!

I know I said I wasn't symptom spotting but could this mean something? I'm 8dpo today

Blackbelt · 14/02/2020 06:30

What’s wrong with me?
I’m 5DPO now and all desire of wanting a baby has disappeared!?!?
Feeling like I’m too poor and it’s for the best etc...
Reckon my body is trying to tell me I am not pregnant :(
Anyone else ever felt that way?

Fifol · 13/02/2020 19:04

@AliSxo yeah and I feel I'm seeing so many baby announcements too and I'm like hey it's my turn! I think I'm 8 or 9 dpo. Gonna try hold out testing till AF late if I can!!

AliSxo · 13/02/2020 18:37

@Fifol it's annoying isn't it, so fed up of people being pregnant one after the other recently, I know it sounds mean!! How many DPO are you? Xx
