7 DPO - anybody else?

34 replies

lockdownroundtwo · 06/11/2020 11:59

Hello!
So I'm 7 DPO today and slightly concerned that I've not been feeling any different to usual..?!

Last month I sadly had a chemical pregnancy, but did definitely feel different through the TWW that time around.

  • nausea
  • off my food
  • sick
  • stomach cramping
  • soo tired!

This time I feel absolutely fine - I'm wondering if maybe I'm out this month..

This is the first month that DP and I have decided to use the self insemination method..

Would love to chat to anyone else that's in the same position as me! 💓💪

How is everyone doing? I got AF today so back to square one again. I really need to find a way to not obsess so much this month

AKcheer · 07/11/2020 21:11

@lockdownroundtwo oh wow! This is intriguing. Never got to the stage to use one of the clear blue! This looks promising. Can you get some more tests to confirm

Feminmister · 07/11/2020 19:48

That looks like a positive to me @lockdownroundtwo and a pretty clear one for 8dpo. How exciting! Did you go out and buy more tests? Let us know.

greenfern1 · 07/11/2020 18:07

@lockdownroundtwo hmm I do see a line but I’ve not used a CB test before so not 100% sure what this means - are you able to get your hands on any more tests to try again in the next couple of days?

I'm quite confused with my results! I'll post a pic below.
I got a negative on the digital test but then when I looked at the lines inside there is a clear one?
Not sure what to think

7 DPO - anybody else?

@AKcheer definitely, driving myself crazy guessing over here! 😂

@lockdownroundtwo sorry about your BFN :( it’s still early though you’re not out until AF arrives!

Well I did a silly thing this morning...

Tested using a CB digital as it's the only one I had in the house. Had a really vivid dream that I was pregnant last night, so decided to go against all of my rules and tested early.
AF is due in 4 days, so I'm 8DPO. Of course if was a big fat negative 😔

Hey @greenfern1 this is the most annoying question isn’t it. Is it AF Or is it preg!? I’ve also been trying since June too!

Lockdown = baking, cleaning and eating!! Think I have to get my weights out and do home gym again ahh

I’ve got some lower cramps today but I’m only 8DPO so that’s usually to early for AF for me but who knows. AF will probably rock up early!! @lockdownroundtwo I think I’m same as you too lol

@greenfern1 ohh same AF type cramping as me! I'm 8DPO today 💓 it's so hard to take your mind off of the fact i could potentially test from today.. 🤔😂

Morning all, I’m so sorry to hear about your losses and thank you for being so honest. Hope you get some good news very soon 💗

I’m somewhere between 8-11DPO and I’ve also been trying since June. Been having some cramping and can’t tell if it’s AF or not! Trying to keep myself busy this weekend but easier said than done in lockdown 😂

Overlyanxious · 07/11/2020 08:31

@lockdownroundtwo thank you and sorry to hear about your chemical pregnancy. Fingers crossed for this month. Those sound like good symptoms

@AKcheer thank you Smile

@Feminmister I’m really sorry to hear about your missed miscarriage. I also feel less fertile but can’t explain why. I’ve tried lots of different vitamins etc to try to give my body a boost - but I don’t think it’s actually done anything. Fingers crossed for you for this month. I know lots of people have miscarriages and then have a baby so we both just need to stay positive (easier said then done)

Good morning everyone hope you're all okay!
I've got a strange AF type feeling today. Feeling lethargic, achey down in my lower stomach and just overall my stomach is feeling heavy.. if that even makes sense 😣😂

I'm so sorry if this is TMI - but I'm also very 'wet' down below Blush it doesn't look like EWCM though so not too sure what's going on! Xx

@AKcheer thank you lovely. It's sad but I have to keep reminding myself, if I hadn't have tested early I'd have probably not known! So trying to remain positive in that sense. And at least I know that I can happen! Xx

@Overlyanxious sorry to hear of your miscarriage. I also had a miscarriage in the summer but mine was a missed miscarriage and I needed a D&C. Like you I feel different since then. I’ve always conceived very very quickly but not since the miscarriage. I feel less fertile but I cannot explain why. Fingers crossed for both of us.

AKcheer · 06/11/2020 22:30

@lockdownroundtwo Ahh I’m sure you can hold off!! Fingers crossed AF don’t come and then your test is a BFP! Ahhh I’m sorry to hear about your CP :( fingers crossed for you. Keep trying and stay positive

@Overlyanxious I’m sorry to hear about your miscarriage :(. I’ve also been trying since June but no luck for me. Keep trying and sometimes it might take a bit of time for your body to adjust again but you don’t want to miss any opportunities.

@AKcheer we have been trying for 3 months following removal of my implant in August. Sadly I had a chemical pregnancy last month which was hard.. but been advised that your body is most fertile after loss so we are still trying 💓

@Overlyanxious so sorry to hear that 😔💓

@AKcheer I’ve been trying since June. I had a miscarriage in August. I feel like this month won’t be my month - I feel a bit different after the miscarriage. Im not sure if my body is ready yet or not.

Overlyanxious · 06/11/2020 21:47

Good luck to everyone - let’s hope they are all bfp. I think I’m not going to test until af is due.

@AKcheer thank you! And you too ✨

I'm hoping to hold off until AF is due which is apparently 5 says according to my app! 🤔☺️ xx

I've only got a Clear Blue Digital test left though so hoping to hold off xx

@greenfern1 I'm not sure actually 🤔 I'm hoping to be able to hold out until AF is due - this cycle has been so abnormal for me following my chemical pregnancy - I'm currently on cycle day 38!! So AF is actually due in 5 days providing my app is correct xx

AKcheer · 06/11/2020 21:07

Hey @lockdownroundtwo thank you!!! Sending lots of baby dust your way!! When do you plan on testing?

How’s everyone feeling and how longs everyone been trying? Gutted we’re in lockdown 2!!!

greenfern1 · 06/11/2020 20:21

@lockdownroundtwo thank you, fingers crossed for you too 😊 when are you planning on testing do you think?

Hi guys, I’m at around 7dpo - my OPKs were negative (I think) this month in my normal fertile window but we tried to DTD fairly regularly so hopefully caught it! Planning on testing next Monday or Tuesday although I’ve been feeling today like some AF is on its way...I’ve been trying not to symptom spot too much compared to the last couple of months where I was logging every symptom going in my apps!
