11 dpo symptoms

Hi all , might be driving myself nuts here so would love some thoughts and insight. Ive googled so much ive made myself a bit dpo-symptom blind i think!
I use the flo app and dtd ahead of and on ovulation day (supposedly), but ive only started ttc for the past 2 months so am dubious as to its calculations...just did the calculator on here for example and if thats correct then we may have missed the window (argh).

Yesterday however i had a dull ache in my pelvis and back all day, as well as bloating and slightly sensitive boobs - and i was crabby. Then this morning i couldnt sleep, woke up early as i was so hot - and also STARVING. Breasts still a little tender. Needless to say i am tired, like really tired, but its been a long week and i guess not sleeping well doesnt help that!

Last time i had spotting way ahead of my af (never had that before) and upon an internet search discovered thst implantation bleeding was a thing...apparently not for me as i received af but it was a while after! Likewise af should be a while off for me if flo is correct as i would be around 5dpo.

Am i setting myself up for disappointment? All thoughts welcome! :)

Great to hear!

They do say that it isn’t the period itself that is late. It’s the ovulation that is late that then delays the period, the luteal phase between ovulation and period tends to be fixed so it isn’t like the egg has been sitting for ages to ‘go bad’ so to speak. It’s just been in the same position as how it has all of your life if that makes sense? It only would have started maturing once your body was gearing up to ovulate.

Good luck

@Eanrcs88.

Definitely go for a checkup but try not to worry too much. It took the best part of a year for my cycles to go back to being properly regular after the pill. Before the pill it was every 28 days exactly.

It was crazy after the pill. 26 days, then I’d have a 40 day, 3 x 28 days, then a 22 day, then a 50 day...it was ridiculous

@Eanrcs88 it's totally possible that you had a late ovulation. I'm off the pill for years, have a very regular cycle but wvery now and then, the cycle was longer. Stress, illness, medication... So many reasons for a late ovulation.
The problem is that you only know if you're late of you know when you ovulated.

@Eanrcs88 do you track your ovulation?

@Eanrcs88 My period came today absolutely livid 😩😂

On to next month!!! Wishing you all the best of luck. We'll get there.
I've learnt not to put my life on hold during the process, it's totally consumed my thoughts everyday. The tracking ovulation and then dtd the right days, then worrying if I've done it enough and then symptom spotting. It's torturous. No doubt it'll resume next month but I'm determined it won't consume the whole month. I need to bare in mind I conceived both of my other children without tracking thinking about the best days at all!

@Eanrcs88 yes, Friday as well. I tested negative Thursday. I even get up at night and took it out of thw garbage can to look at it again. Stark white haha!
And the one yesterday was really negative as well. But maybe I should've waited a bit longer.
Yes, test again tomorrow if AF hasn't shown up by then. My friend only got her BFP 3 days overdue. And her baby boy is now 4 months old ;)

@Eanrcs88 yes! I started spotting, bleeding didn't start. Was one day late yesterday so took a test at a mall, to know if I can safely have sparkling wine. Was negative, told DH and had a nice day with a friend. Had BBQ in the evening. Tested again because still no bleeding. After 3 minutes I saw the faintest line. Very confused. So no drinks, thankfully our friends cut down their alcohol so they weren't suspicious. Tested this morning with the fertility monitor - BFP! I was so shocked, I tell you! Can't believe it yet. 16dpo, 2 days late. Fingers crossed it will ve similar with you!🤞

@Eanrcs88 with the negative test yesterday evening I was too sad and disappointed to test again today. If AF doesn't arrive today, I will test tomorrow. I had a test that has 99% accuracy on the day after you missed your period, and I took in the evening, so yeah I guess there's still a chance, but I don't want to test today just for AF to arrive later on.

@Eanrcs88 I'm not sure. I have a clear blue early detection test coming today but don't know whether I should wait until tomorrow morning for FMU. My period is due tomorrow so it makes sense to wait and see if that appears. It's tempting when you have a test in front if you though!

@Eanrcs88 I stupidly tested this evening after having a lot of water, with a non early test. Of coursa BFN. Now I'm just angry at myself 😖

11dpo corrected*. Don't think I ovulated until 16th dtd 14/15th x

Hi there, I am around 11dpo today. I tested 9dpo and couldn't see a line I tested again last night though and couldn't see anything but the light wasn't great. Left it in the side and sulked off. I was going to Chuck it today and checked and saw the smallest shadow of a line super faint.. I know it kind of doesn't count outside of the waiting time but it's given me a little hope! It's still early days. I have another test arrived tomorrow and I'm due on Saturday so I will test Saturday morning if AF hasn't arrived! X

I caved a day early and did a test - BFN. I'm absolutely gutted (again). I knew it was coming but it doesn't stop this horrible sinking feeling inside, I'm going to have a good cry and come off MN for a while I think, need to try and become less obsessed with it and enjoy life. Good luck for anyone waiting to test 🤞🏼

@Eanrcs88 oh yeah! I hear ya. How long have you been TTC?

@Bundaberg84 nah I think I would just go out and buy some nonalcoholic wine and get DH to pour the drinks (that old trick!) or make up some excuse to do with migraines (which I do get to be fair). Wouldn't tell anyone apart from DH for a while I don't think.
