AF symptoms/Pregnancy symptoms

69 replies

MissBlue93 · 16/04/2022 12:44

It's my first month officially TTC, my third and my partners first child.

Every month 7 days before AF is due I get a fever and feel a bit rough. I'm roughly 7DPO, AF due in 7 days and have my fever as usual.

Would this rule out pregnancy? Has anyone else had the same and been pregnant? I tested today and obviously it was stark white. I didn't track my ovulation other than by CM and how I felt. So I'm pretty sure I ovulated around the 8th or 9th but could of been later.

I know I'm cheeky to expect it to happen first time but with my other 2 it was immediate both times! I think I'm super fertile but obviously have a new partner now and he's worried about his own fertility. He's 24 I'm 28.

Feel free to join the thread and track with me!

@ButterflyE

@MissBlue93 Watery CM is a really good sign as well. Do you usually get it close to AF? x
Hey ladies so my FRER and I did one tonight (7pm) after holding my wee for ages. I did notice an ever so slight line on the test before I even took it!

This is what I've ended up with. It seems more prominent than yesterday mornings line but I am worried about it being an indent.

No idea to be honest as I don't usually pay much attention! I know I do get watery CM sometimes though.

It's the cramping just never ending at the moment x

I've got so much cramping today and had some watery CM. Lots of twinges in my abdomen and back but could also be AF making her way in x

@LemonZestDribbles

@MissBlue93 I think I can see it - very faint so I might have line eyes. The symptoms are all very positive 🤞🤞🤞
That's what I thought too. Feel like I'm seeing things sometimes 😂 not long till AF due so I'll find out one way or another I guess! How are you getting on?

So I tested this morning with a CB as my FRER didn't arrive and are due to come today.

I feel like perhaps there's a super faint line? It's hard because I don't know exactly how many DPO I am, I guessed based on my CM but I could be anywhere between 9-11DPO which I know will make a difference.

I will do a FRER when they come seeing as I had a line on it yesterday!

[quote LemonZestDribbles]@MissBlue93 it looks pink to me 🤞🤞 hopefully it gets darker. Frer have been awful for lines but I do think it looks more like a faint positive[/quote]
Thank you, I'll try again tomorrow. Boobs are absolutely killing today and I've felt really nauseous and dizzy this morning. I get some of that with AF nearby so we will see I guess x

I completely agree with @LemonZestDribbles

[quote ButterflyE]@MissBlue93 Are there any other pregnancy brands that you trust which might require less HCG? My fingers are really crossed for you! xx[/quote]
I don't know to be honest! Have just ordered more FRER so will take another tomorrow morning and see if line gets stronger. If it's an indent line then so be it, it's our first cycle TTC so I know I'd be extremely blessed to be pregnant so soon x

@ButterflyE

I have seen several indents on First Response and that looks more positive than indent. I would test again in a couple of days. Perhaps using another brand as well might be a good idea.
I've got the red strips but they require more HCG than FRER x

Hey ladies so I took a test just now and I'm 10DPO, this came up straight away. What are the chances it's positive? Or an indent? I've taken 3 of these tests over the last few days which were all stark white.

@JulesRimetStillGleaming That is very helpful, thank you! Today I have had clear CM not quite Egg White but hard to explain.

JulesRimetStillGleaming · 18/04/2022 18:05

[quote ButterflyE]@MissBlue93 I'm glad they've eased off a bit. Do you know how late in the day you can check ovulation with an OPK? I have different CM today and not sure if I'm actually ovulating today or if it's a symptom of pregnancy. I do have Digital Clearblue Ovulation but not sure if it's too late to test today? I have never used any Ovulation kits in the past so wouldn't know. [/quote]
Never first morning urine and any time between 10 am and 10 pm I've heard. I do it every wee on the two most likely days. I'm trying to conceive with a donor so timing is critical for me.

I think any time of day as you can ovulate at any point and may be stronger in evening etc but I'm not an expert as never tracked mine!

[quote ButterflyE]@MissBlue93 How are the cramps now? I hope they have eased and aren't as painful now. I had light cramping yesterday and I'm in the same predicament of wondering if it's PMS or not. I am irregular so can never be able to predict easily when AF might be. I look at past cycles and see how long they were. I have a feeling my AF could be a week away if it makes an appearance. Do you think I would be getting symptoms at this time? My breast was agony yesterday though. A bit better today but still tender. [/quote]
They've eased off a bit now but still got general cramps which is usual with AF for me.

I guess it's hard if you're irregular as you don't really know! But depends if you know when you ovulated or not?

@ButterflyE

I wish you good luck MissBlue93! I really hope you see a second line on your test. If you don't and AF does come then at least you'll know.
I've had horrible cramping on my right side this morning, enough to make me bend over in pain, and then just cramping all around my abdomen but again could be AF symptoms. Hate the waiting game!
