Only 6DPO and I feel like I’m going crazy! Anyone else with me?

I had a sharp pain for a few minutes earlier today too on my right side. It's literally impossible not to symptom spot when you can feel all these little twinges. Boobs are a tad sore too but that is normal for me in the week before AF.

@lottieb92 I’m due on Friday! 4 days to go... my husband has hidden the tests (at my request) and it’s actually helping not knowing where they are anymore xxx

@lottieb92 fantastic idea, i had cramps 7dpo-8 but have them today as well, which is too early for AF.

@Jordie24 i think i am 8dpo today. but i think if it was them.. then i implanted earlier than the norm as i felt cramps on friday...

anyways i will see how it goes tomorrow. I know the first response ones are super sensitive so will use it first thing in the morning as I can not hold for more than 2 hours during the day

@IndaFlowers I was trying too wait, that’s what my head wants.. I’ll see how I feel when I’m 6 days until period. Which is the 4th! So not long.

But that would only make me 9DPO, I have a feeling waiting would help. But it’s also the only day (in forever!) my OTH and little boy are out of the house, so I could take it all in alone which would be nice! 🤣

@lottieb92 I'm trying to hold off but have ordered some frer and a few 10mui cheapies that may be here before the weekend.

I found because I was wfh today I didnt have too much time to obsess but the weekends are definitely my weaker point so may break and test over the weekend. Are you trying to hold off until missed?

@Cafeaulait27 how many days left Cafe? :) I’m sure it’ll whizz by!
@Toria33 well done! Stay strong :) symptoms are okay to spot I think! I’d write them down in your phone notes each day it might be nice to look back on when you get the BFP!

@IndaFlowers I’m exactly the same today! I keep getting on and off twinges and my other half politely reminded me I always get them/ moan and request a warm water bottle 🤣 but today they’ve significantly dropped off! So I’ve been able to resume a somewhat normal day! Not long now are you waiting for a missed as well? X

@willow2021 that sounds sooo promising! Fingers crossed that feint line gets super strong over the coming days!

I had a really weird crampy day today, not due af until 10th feb. Got a couple of really strong shooting type cramps. Don't think I've ever had anything like it before so im not sure what to put it down to. I'm sure over the ttc process I will become all too familiar with all the strange twinges that I probably used to ignore every month 🤣🤣

Exciting *willow! Fingers crossed for you.

Its our first month TTC and getting to the end of on TWW .. promised other half I wouldn’t test until day of missed AF(Friday). I’m shamefully symptom stopping, breasts are so much larger I need new bras/nipple changes, off food and I am asking for vegan KFC burgers daily. Thought it would be nice to share the process 😊

@willow2021 sounds promising! Xx

God I really want to test! The wait is killing me, I’m so hungry too and just want to eat constantly lol xx

Amazing @willow2021! Let us know hehe I love the BFP stories. I hope you get some sleep tonight 🤣 xx

oh ok, i probably have to wait till tomorrow i will be able to upload then as i don't see the paperclip.
Hopefully tomorrow morning the test will be clearer. but im hopefull that with the three different types of tests all had a shadow or extremely faint line

Ooo how exciting @willow2021... I think if your account is new you have to wait 2/3 days before you can upload.
But otherwise in the comment box there is a paper clip icon button to upload :)

I did a first response a few minutes ago and theres an extremely faint line like shadow... how do I post a photo?

@willow2021 maybe post a picture of the test and we can have a look?

A more sensitive test tomorrow would be a good idea!

I had some sharp pains yesterday but I wasn’t sure if it was wishful thinking - hoping for implantation.

@Cafeaulait27 yeah the pain only lasted 20 minutes. I suffer from ibs so wondering if that's to do with it. I caved and tested on a cheap pounland one.. I did two in a row and there is a shadow on the first line. It wasn't morning pee. I'm wondering if I should do a more sensitive one tomorrow

@willow2021 sorry to hear you went through that pain! Are you ok now? I guess wait and see if your period comes or not and maybe do a test in a few days. Could be implantation as it affects people differently xx

@Pitstop1986 I think I’m going to wait now. There really is no reason to test so early. I really wanted to test but I’d already prepped my husband to stop me (because if it’s positive I will still worry due to previous chemical and if it’s negative I’ll be upset). I just told him I wanted to test and he was like NO and explained why. He’s a gooden!

I feel a bit nauseous and some aches in my stomach... no signs of any blood. I also have tender boobs and having lots of dreams. It’s just so hard to wait! One minute I think I definitely am and the next I think definitely not.

If you do decide to test tomorrow let us know how it goes! Xx

@Cafeaulait27 I'm in two minds whether or not to test in the morning. I'm exactly the same as you, 10 dpo and due on Friday. I tested yesterday and got negative, and was going to test again tomorrow, but with a feeling that AF may be on her way I'm now wondering if I just wait and see if AF shows up this week...

This morning I had incredibly intense pain in lower abdomen. Its was just centred in one spot but many spots... I could feel in my uterus but also overy and the back like tail bone area...It came on even stronger after a went to the toilet. I had to lie down till it went away. It was horrible. I dont feel like implantation cramps could be that strong and now thinking maybe there is something completely unrelated thats causing it. I'm 8dpo but going to wait till 10pdo to test

I'd definitely go for that cafe ! Especially if your periods are regular. Exciting!

I’m 10 dpo today, and period is due on Friday. If I test with a normal pink dye test in the morning will it still be too early?

I’m not 💯 sure on my dpo as I don’t do ovulation tests, it’s just what my app says but my periods are always regular.

Xxx

I love the one steps (they're the cheapies I use) but you can get a fairly solid shadow line on them, within the time scale, before it could be considered an evap. It's happened to me more than once. I treat them as a "something to piss on" so I don't waste money. I probably sound really negative but I've got a lot of history with one steps

Don't get me wrong, they picked up DS1 at 10dpo and DS2 at 11/12 dpo, so they do work. But they can be heavy on the shadows!
