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

Hi everyone so I got my peak on 23rd January and I think I ovulated on 24th.. I’m now 6DPO ovulation. I tested this morning and obviously I couldn’t see anything, but I’m already planning how to tell my partner and looking at baby clothes.. what is wrong with me! Anybody else? And the wait is dragging too!x

@willow2021 I think that as long you don't have pains and heavy bleeding you shouldn't worry about it. Just try to not do lots of effort, rest, take your folic and maybe magnesium and everything will be fine. xx

@1boo1 wow that line looks great! I am also dying to tell my mum but the dr said to wait. I also love my new boobs btw.. So weird to have them big 😂

@LadyJane18 that's good to hear. My boobs are also really tender and the insomnia kills me!

1boo1 · 12/02/2021 15:39

Definitely 😂 should have seen his face when I said it! But seeing as I've been going on for weeks about baby stuff and OPKs, flashing smileys, symptoms etc it really does sound like plucking from thin air to them haha.
That's good, my AF would be due Sunday but with my test looking stronger I'm hoping that's a good sign at least!
I'd love to tell my mum but DH thinks I should wait a few weeks just incase, as last month I nearly told her the day MC started and would have been awful to phone her back and tell her. He said he would like to wait til 1st scan to tell his parents which I agree with as hard to keep a secret 😂 how about you? X

LadyJane18 · 12/02/2021 14:35

It really does help, I think they think we are just plucking things out of thin air sometimes 😂 I felt groin/hip pain too so definitely good things :)
I think I’m 16 or 17dpo and CD29 I was supposed to come on my period yesterday, no signs of spotting or anything so guessing that’s good. Need to test again to make sure the weeks are going up on a digital :) have you told family or are you waiting? So hard to know what to do for the best x

1boo1 · 12/02/2021 09:52

Hehe it is much stronger than 2 days ago! Not sure when to stop testing..

Glad you're all doing well 🥰 sharing symptoms helps so much. When I tell my DH he doesn't know what to say - eg my hip hurt a few times yesterday and last night.. And I said I sound like a hypochondriac but now I feel something in my hip 😂

I keep trying to scroll up to find how far along we are in comparison to each other 🙈 where are we all up to?

I'm 12dpo and CD27 (avg28 day cycle not sure if that makes any difference!?)

willow2021 · 12/02/2021 08:56

@oannic well it was only that once yesterday around lunch time. Then this morning I did number 2 and I guess the pushing made more come out. I dont have any cramps and its doesn't look like my period. I'm just so worried but I'm too early to have a scan

LadyJane18 · 12/02/2021 08:52

Eeeep look at that strong line 💪🏼 That’s fab ☺️ I’ve been told to expect lots of cramping so I’m worrying that I’m not! Haha crazy what we panic about isn’t it 🙈 and yes same, mine are probably normal size now but big for me 😂 might actually have to start wearing a bra places. My nipples are definitley bigger too! They are the part that is sore for me. Starting to feel a little uneasy that I haven’t tested again so will let you know how I get on :) glad you’re doing well! xx

1boo1 · 12/02/2021 08:28

Oh and just to add.. My little boobs feel a bit bigger again 🤭 honestly the most bizarre feeling being concious that you have boobs as never had them before 😂 probably still small compared to most people but they have gone really big for me! DH said my nipples look a bit different too but I haven't really noticed that (sorry if tmi lol)

1boo1 · 12/02/2021 08:24

@oannic I'm feeling good thank you.. Few really light cramps again this morning that make me feel nervous but nothing major.

I took another FRER this morning to see if any changes... Top one at 10dpo and bottom one is this morning at 12dpo x

Only 6DPO and I feel like I’m going crazy! Anyone else with me?
LadyJane18 · 12/02/2021 08:24

Sending you lots of love @Horehound ♥️

@oannic @1boo1 @Cafeaulait27
I’m feeling okay to be honest, slight tugging like you said every now and again but not much at all, boobs are getting more tender as the days go by and starting to wake up through the night for a wee (does that even happen this early on) 😂 I haven’t tested since I did my digital 1-2 weeks, so I’m going to test again today to make sure things are going how they should be. But symptoms tend to come in waves rather than constant so not too bad :) might be a different story come 6 weeks haha. How are you ladies feeling? xx

oannic · 12/02/2021 05:51

Morning girls..
@Horehound, my mc (i think it was one).. was almost like a period but I just got weird tissue coming out. After the bleeding stopped I still got some coffee like bits when whipping (sorry tmi:() My test was also negative.. I guess the hcg drops immediately.
@KazMumTo2 sorry to hear that.. We actually only tried once when i was sure I ovulated and it worked - weird Blush

@willow2021, how is your bleeding going?
@1boo1 @LadyJane18 @Cafeaulait27 how are you feeling?

Horehound · 11/02/2021 20:37

Thank you everyone for messages. I'm still bleeding. Wonder how long it lasts, is it just like a period then? I got my tests I ordered ages ago finally delivered today and just wanted to check what it said but there was no line at all...no surprise.

I had filled out a drs consultation form two days ago but they only called me at 5 today which I didn't think was great since they may have wanted to check HCG levels? Anyway, the Dr told me to call the early pregnancy care unit that's in the nearest city to me tomorrow morning to see how they want to proceed.
Spent the day packing the house and I just need to focus on the house move and that being exciting first.

Sorry to @AlexaPlayWhiteNoise :(
Apparently 1 in 4 early pregnancies end this way :(

KazMumTo2 · 11/02/2021 19:34

@A1b2c3d4e5f6g7 here’s to that glass of wine per night x

A1b2c3d4e5f6g7 · 11/02/2021 18:56

OMG I've given up symptom spotting, was convinced I was pregnant last month, even with implantation bleeding. Turns out was first time my body decided to do that ! Then period a day and a half later.

Comparing to when I was last pregnant, the 'symptoms' for me are the same - I just make more of them in the TWW.

Have resolved I'm def not testing until day after missed period. And I'm drinking a glass of wine a night in the TWW. Fingers crossed for all of us

KazMumTo2 · 11/02/2021 18:21

@Cafeaulait27 thanks hun! Fingers crossed for next month! X

Cafeaulait27 · 11/02/2021 18:20

Sorry to hear that @KazMumTo2 I gave up on opks I found it all too complicated, we just did it every day around the fertile window and every other day the rest of the time and it worked. I think your plan sounds good, best of luck for next month xx

KazMumTo2 · 11/02/2021 16:58

So my AF has just arrived sad knew the ‘symptoms’ were too good to be true! I’m going to make a pact with my husband that from next week we will dtd every other night until my next period is due! I’ll keep taking the OPKs just to check that ovulation is occurring and then try to go with the flow! It’s so difficult when it’s something U want so much...but I have a good feeling that next month is the one! Good luck to all of you guys still in the game for this month 🤞🏻

oannic · 11/02/2021 16:14

@willow2021 I also read that it is normal and many pregnant women have light spotting. Just be aware if you have bad cramps and the flow gets bigger.. then you should call someone. xx

AlexaPlayWhiteNoise · 11/02/2021 16:09

[quote willow2021]@AlexaPlayWhiteNoise I am also scare of this. My tests have been darkening over the last few days but today I started getting very light spotting. AF would have been due two days ago. I know its normal for some women to having light bleeding but this is also how AF begins for me. I don't have any cramps. Terrified every time I go to the toilet. Some of my friends had light bleeding for days early in pregnancies. I suppose im just so scares its going to turn heavier[/quote]
Chances are you'll have a completely healthy, normal pregnancy. I would try not to worry although I know the anxiety.

I'm trying to rationalise it for me as if it's a non viable pregnancy, it's better to lose it now than later. Just hoping my body decides to let go naturally.

[quote 1boo1]@AlexaPlayWhiteNoise so sorry 😔 what does a chemical actually mean? I keep seeing it said but not sure what it means or if it's the same as an early MC? Really hope that's not what's happened and you can get some positive news from drs❤️ sending lots of positive vibes xx[/quote]
It's an early MC before five weeks. No pain or bleeding yet but my tests aren't darkening up as I would expect them to so I'm assuming it's not a viable pregnancy if the HCG isn't multiplying. It's just shit being in the limbo mainly. If nothing happens either way over the weekend I'll phone my bereavement MW and ask what to do. Thank you Flowers

oannic · 11/02/2021 14:11

@AlexaPlayWhiteNoise I am so sorry :( Do you have pains or bleeding?

oannic · 11/02/2021 14:10

Thank you @LadyJane18!! Glad to hear you and @1boo1 feel good!

I feel good aswell!.. My boobs are a bit sore but today a bit less than yesterday and it freaked me out actually. Another symptom is insomnia! I don't know if it is the excitement or maybe the hormones but the dr said there is nothing really i can do :(

I saw my obgyn today, he said I am 5 weeks now but it's still too early to see smth. He actually took blood samples to check the betaHcG and i have to check it again next Tuesday to see if it doubled (I guess here in Germany they just do it differently). He told us not to announce it yet until he actually sees something (so hard to stay quiet though) xx

1boo1 · 11/02/2021 13:49

@LadyJane18 thank you 😊 I've been eating lots this morning ut think that's more to do with not knowing what to do with myself than anything else 😂 I haven't done a test today so might do another FRER tomorrow to compare.
I've had a few 'tugging' type feelings, didn't know how to discribe until I Googled and it came up on here. Very strange but not painful. Also felt weird twinges in my hip 🤔 so over aware of anything on my body! Have you had any other symptoms?

I really hope this all goes smoothly, I'm worried that what happened last month could happen again as its so early!

AlexaPlayWhiteNoise · 11/02/2021 13:27

Pretty sure I'm having a chemical. Bit shit as after losing our son so recently I thought I might have got a rainbow. Just waiting for bleeding to start now and praying it's not an ectopic.
