Hi everyone looking for a bit of advice. TTC #2 and according to OPKs and app I ovulated on the 18th. Last few days have been dizzy, nauseated very like when I was pregnant before. My question is has anyone had these symptoms this early and go on to get BFP 8DPO or I am being totally unrealistic testing that early. Have close relatives party tomorrow and will test in am but will need to come up with an excuse for not drinking if still in TWW!

@Overandabove1 thank you. Think I've eaten too much, I was bloated before I went out but now my tummy is definitely sticking out.
AF is due in the next 5 days so I'm hoping with everything that she doesn't arrive.
Please keep me updated! Enjoy your night also 😊

@Walkinthesun of course welcome 😊 all sounds like positive signs for you too! Think I’ll use the driving thing like you said be the easiest. Enjoy your night and hopefully BFPs are on the way for all of us soon 🤞🏻

@Overandabove1 also, I would just maybe have one drink. Or if you drive, use that as an excuse?
I'm out with family tonight and I'm in the same boat but I'm going to drive so that's my excuse to not drink.
Fingers crossed for you Smile

Can I jump on this post??

I've been TTC for 8 months now.
My cycles vary in length. The last one was 34 days. According to my app, on a 34 day cycle then I ovulated last Thursday 17th Feb, although I had symptoms of ovulation a day or two before that.
Me and my OH DTD 14th, 16th and 18th on week of suspected ovulation.
20th I noticed what I assume was light spotting. It only last one day. 21st I had some white creamy CM (sorry if TMI)
Ever since I've had cramping and what feels like a pulling feeling down below.
On the morning (23rd feb) I've had some nausea. Had to run to the bathroom but was only retching, nothing came up.
Has anyone had these and gone on to have a BFP.
It's too early for me to test yet as AF shouldn't be due till next week.
Today I am on CD 28, but like I say, my cycles have been more 34 days. I have some backache and when I sneezed I felt a sharp pain on the left of my pelvis. I seem to be feeling 'wet' down there the past 2 days too. There isn't a lot of CM but my other half even noticed just how wet I was then we DTD last night (tmi sorry)

Keeping my fingers crossed that it's a good sign. I have a daughter who is 8 and would love a sibling.

Sorry if my post is confusing, I'm new here!

Yes that sounds good. At least then you won’t have a faint line to analyse.
Yes baby dust to us both. Keep me posted here xx

@Maybebaby7 all sounds promising for you too! That’s what I’ll do I think maybe keep the same drink if front of me for the night and hope it’s not noticed. Thanks fingers crossed for us both 🤞🏻Smile

Hi I am 8dpo too and have felt dizzy more when standing from sitting. No nausea though but feeling hotter, thirstier and leg cramp?
I won’t be resting until my af is later because I hate the disappointment and trying to analyse a faint line.
Could you just say that you can’t drink because you are trying to be healthy or just have 1 maybe a spritzer. Your choice ☺️.
Good luck you have a lot of symptoms xxx
