Hi all! I'm currently 1dpo.. so officially in the last stage of this cycle! I should be due AF around April 19th, which happens to be my birthday! So I'm going to try really hard not to test until then. Anyone else around the same?!

@ArcEnCiel2022 Thank you 😊 That makes me feel better!

Same here, intermittent cramps and weird sensations here and there but they've been coming and going all day! Just not reading into anything ATM.. if AF doesn't arrive before the end of the week I will test 🤞😊

Worse case scenario I get to have a big glass of wine at the end of the week! 😅

GoT1904 · 11/04/2022 13:58

Ooooooo some promising symptoms going on here!! I don't have any really, lol. Had a few crampy twinges, but think it's cos I'm looking for them really. My boobs are not hurting whatsoever today, I've got energy and not feeling anything really lol. I'm gonna try not test tomorrow and then do 9dpo, 11dpo, 13dpo. But in reality I'm probably gonna do tomorrow, 9dpo, 10dpo and 11dpo lol. I need to order some cheapies really! Xx

@GeraniumCedarwood @MrsGrealish sorry you are not feeling well, but hopefully your food aversion is a good sign, I really hope for you! 🤞

@Graceybaby try not too worry, I haven't felt implantation the two times I've been pregnant, and no symptom at all before 11dpo.

@dinoparadise welcome! I hope your spotting last week was a good sign! 🤞

I still have some intermittent cramping, but nothing else... It seems so long 😩

MrsGrealish · 11/04/2022 12:28

@GeraniumCedarwood I sat down to eat lunch there brought tomato soup to work can't face it🤢 drinking tea and someone brought in home made buns which I'm nibbling

I feel your pain! DH made me dinner yesterday pie and roast potatoes 2 bites I was done. Felt kinda bad for him😕

No cramping at all today. 🤷‍♀️

GeraniumCedarwood · 11/04/2022 12:10

@MrsGrealish-- I don't have Covid according to the lateral flow! I have this post-nasal drip thing; maybe that's related to my nausea? I had food aversion last night and could not eat the dinner DH had cooked for me. I force-fed myself some broccoli and cauliflower and then had a piece of toast with jam. Have you managed to eat anything? I know I need to get lunch but not sure what to have.

My boobs are only sore if I touch the... I can get boob pain pre-period, though. My nipples had this kind of "bolt of lightning" stingy feeling the last few days, which is odd, but that has not happened today.

MrsGrealish · 11/04/2022 12:02

@GeraniumCedarwood how did the covid test go? I had it beginning of February and it doesn't feel like this.

MrsGrealish · 11/04/2022 11:22

@GeraniumCedarwood it's not like nausea more food aversions. It's strange I'll be hungry and sit down to eat and just not be able to eat.

My boobs have gone from pms sore to a bruised sore at the side if that makes any sense and I wanted to sleep at half 8 last night. Kept myself up though. Very weird at the most 8dpo but more like 7dpo

dinoparadise · 11/04/2022 11:15

Morning all, can I join? I'm somewhere around 10/11DPO, had a peak ov test on 30th March, had spotting mid last week, negative test this morning but period not due til next Monday, have a 36ish day cycle.

Trying not to be disheartened by the negative test this morning, it's still early, I got really excited when I had spotting last week because I never spot, last time I did I was pregnant that month. Going to do a FRER later in the week!

GeraniumCedarwood · 11/04/2022 10:58

@MrsGrealish- In what way are you feeling bad? Just wondering if any of our symptoms are similar.

@GoT1904 I'm in Cambridgeshire

GeraniumCedarwood · 11/04/2022 10:51

Sorry to hear of those with negative tests so far, AF isn't here yet, so you're still in for now!! xx

I've been having horrible waves of nausea last night and then again this morning and I feel exhausted and very emotional. I am actually going to take a COVID test soon (just waiting 30 minutes as I had a hot drink earlier), as I feel it's probably more likely that than pregnancy symptoms - surely 7dpoish would be far too early for sickness?!

GoT1904 · 11/04/2022 10:39

Aw try not to worry @PositivelyPrehistoricMom, the window of implantation is 6-12dpo, so you're in no way out yet xx

Graceybaby · 11/04/2022 10:21

Sorry for the BFN @PositivelyPrehistoricMom! That sucks 😞

MrsGrealish · 11/04/2022 10:07

I'm in Northern Ireland, working today and feeling pretty ropey 🤞

PositivelyPrehistoricMom · 11/04/2022 09:53

@GoT1904 I did a test this morning and was negative. I’m about 11 dpo so I’ve a funny feeling it’s probably fairly accurate. AF due on Wednesday so we’ll see. No worries. We’ll Keep on trying and stay positive.

Graceybaby · 11/04/2022 09:34

@ArcEnCiel2022 Oo that sounds promising!! I really hope it was!

I keep feeling things that feel like it could be implantation.. it's hard because I really felt it with my first pregnancy it was like what you've felt very sharp pains on one side so I feel so deflated that I haven't felt anything similar but it's so stupid because you could feel nothing and still have implantation!

Our bodies play some horrible mind games 🤦🏼‍♀️😅

Rosegold3112 · 11/04/2022 09:13

@GoT1904 it's barely noticeable. I didn't have anymore last night but again after going for a bm this morning there is a very faint pink tinge and some actual red spots. I have a feeling its af related as I still feel crampy and just generally rubbish. My temp hasn't dropped yet so I think it's just going to be a long week 😒 might get some cheap tests tonight and test in the morning just cos I'm a POAS addict though

GoT1904 · 11/04/2022 09:11

Because I'm a twat I tested with my SMU and you a BFN haha. I really thought I could do better!! 😂😂 so in all likelihood I'll be testing tomorrow too ffs. Xx

@Graceybaby I'm sorry for the bfn, but yes it's still so early that it doesn't mean anything! But I know how disappointing it is to see a bfn...

That's why I didn't test this morning, it was not easy to resist but I did. What helped me is that during the night at some point I was awake, and I felt a sudden sharp pain, it lasted only one or two minutes maximum, and I thought that might be implantation? 🤞 I really hope so, and now I'm thinking if it was, I should wait 2 or 3 days before I test... I feel that this month I will be more disappointed than ever if I don't get a bfp because I've put my hopes really high even if I didn't want to. Not a good thing!

@GoT1904 I'm in Oxfordshire!

Graceybaby · 11/04/2022 08:54

@GoT1904 I did the same! I woke up really early and was desperate for a wee and thought don't test don't test... But I did 😅

But I have made an agreement with myself not to test until after AF due now. I'm staying strong!! 🙈

I'm off work this week which makes it worse.. just feel like I'm sitting around waiting for any sort of sign! It's so bad... I'm going to give the house a good clean today and distract myself!🤦🏼‍♀️

I'm from the South East, Westham near/in Eastbourne.

Eeee @PositivelyPrehistoricMom when do you think you'll test??

@Rosegold3112 dw about the pic! It definitely could be implantation bleeding tho! I've had that for my last 2 pregnancies but I can't remember how many dpo or anything I was. How is the spotting now??

@Graceybaby aww sorry for the BFN. Its still really early though! I held my morning wee in for about 45 mins whilst I decided if I should do a FRER (only 7dpo!) But I managed not to haha. Only 3 more days till I test but I'm wondering if I will make it that far haha. I'm going to work with DP on Thursday, which was when I was gonna test.. so maybe I'll do 9dpo and 11dpo lol. Xxx

MrsGrealish · 11/04/2022 08:02

I haven't gone off coffee yet which is a bad sign but could only eat 2 bites of dinner last night.

@Graceybaby and I felt sorry for DH last night and DTD and no cramps! 🤷‍♀️

MrsGrealish · 11/04/2022 07:18

@Sarahmayo thank you 😊 I'll probably test tomorrow and keep going..gotta use these cheapie tests somehow xx 🌈

@Rosegold3112 that good defo be implantation bleeding I've had it once around 9dpo and it looked very much like that. Hopefully it doesn't get heavier🙏

Graceybaby · 11/04/2022 06:28

Morning lovelys

Welcome @PositivelyPrehistoricMom 🙂

Well 8DPO today and BFN this morning as expected but day 8-9 are the most common days for implantation so still hope! I didn't test positive until 10DPO with my son either.
I used to usually only have a LP of 10, 11 days if I'm lucky so we'll see!

Don't think I'm going to test again now for a few days.. it's so disappointing even when in your head you knew it was going to be a BFN, just going to wait and see what happens now 🤞🙈

How's everyone feeling this morning? xx

Rosegold3112 · 11/04/2022 00:24

@Sarahmayo I had a loss in Oct last year and I have spotted every cycle since. They seemed to be getting gradually longer too with my last cycle being around 50 days 😒 thought af was never going to come. So it's most likely the same this month too, just feeling a little hopeful with it being so early. My cycle is on track to be a normal length this time at least and I told myself if af came I could at least be pleased it is getting back to normal but its hard not to get my hopes up. You're being a great help! After all, there's only one way to really find out for sure and that's to get af or not. It's just nice to get opinions and ideas as well instead of going mad in my own head
