Hi! I’m new here. I’ve read what seems like hundreds of these threads, but never posted anything myself. I’m currently 9 DPO, I’m positive about my ovulation date as I get the really sharp pain on my left side each time! Have definitely had a multitude of symptoms. I have it stuck in my head that I’m pregnant, but I have 30 + day cycles. This would be the second one for me! Would love to have a baby, but still finishing up my schooling.. so! We will see. I went crazy and bought a ton of tests, took one this morning which was a BFN. But my period is still 7 days away, so. Would love people to keep me company from my crazy brain!!

@AKC88
You can secretly hope! As they say, nothing is ruled out until AF comes! Grin
I’m actually feel pretty icky. I’ve had symptoms before a period before, but never ever right after ovulation. That was the suspicious part for me. Lots and lots of cramping since then, sore and tingly boobs, peeing a lot, got nauseous when burgers were being cooked. Noticed my temp was higher today. Lots of little, odd things. Vivid dreams lately. Also know I’m a terrible symptom spotter Confused
How about you??

@AMS19

We are not actively trying yet. More so just had a badly timed fool around this month, because I ended up ovulating early. We would both be overjoyed with a baby but we are trying to get a house right now and I’m not done with school.. so the timing would be a bit difficult. They say everything happens for a reason though Smile

How long have you guys been trying?

@MummyToPrince I'm telling myself that anyway to soften the blow if/when AF does come.

I've had the most painful boobs since about 3 DPO like wearing a bra is unbearable! I can't remember my symptoms from being pregnant before so I'm not sure if I had that!

Are you planning a test date? Or wait and see?

I'm 9DPO too and also have a 30 day cycle. Surely that doesn't matter if you know when you ovulated though? Isn't 14DPO effectively the day you are supposed to get a reliable BFP (hopefully!) So that means five days to go 😁 Don't want to test early because if I have a chemical I don't want to know about it xx

I feel the same! I’m 8 dpo, 6 days until AF due. I tested 2 days ago as I was feeling so many symptoms and I knew fine well it was too early but couldn’t resist! BFN anyway, but unsure when to test again 🙁
From 1dpo, I had cramps, bloating nausea but never normally have that until much closer until AF is due. It’s settled now so I think I’m out now

@Sarah3956 I'm 8 dpo and ive also read 1000 of these posts, driving me self insane!! My app says I can test is 5 days!

@AKC88 I don't want to get your hopes up but when I fell pregnant with my son I was adamant AF was going to come and she never did, got BFP at 11dpo and that feeling until 2nd trimester

AKC88 · 24/09/2020 20:07

Hi Smile

I'm 10 DPO also driving myself crazy.

AF due on Monday or Tuesday for me.

I think AF is coming as I had some cramps this morning, this is only our first month though so as expected (still doesn't mean I'm not secretly hoping Grin).

How are you feeling?

AMS19 · 24/09/2020 19:44

@Sarah3956 hi! 9 DPO is still super early so don't lose faith! How long have you been trying?
