7DPO symptoms - I’m going crazy, anyone else?

256 replies

SophT27 · 26/06/2022 19:09

I think I’m going crazy. Last month I had a faint positive which led to a chemical pregnancy. I wasn’t necessarily TTC, but that line made my heart flutter and I felt devastated when AF arrived.

flash forward to now and I’m 7 DPO. Yesterday I had some cramping and some pink spotting. Today I’m still cramping, I also have lower back ache and I have some brown loss on wiping (sorry, I know TMI). This afternoon I felt a little bit nauseous and now I think I’m reading into every, tiny, little thing!

I know it’s too early to test, and also that the chances of this being down to the imminent arrival of AF are high, but I’m finding it hard not to read into things and get my hopes up. Anyone else in a similar boat? would love to chat.

I should probably add that AF is due 4th July my periods are usually on time (give or take a day).

@SophT27 I think I’ll test Sunday if no AF

@Fabpinky

i’m going to have to test again soon or I’ll go out of my mind I think. I feel a bit nervous too as the last test I did was a BFN and that was the end of last week.

when do you think you’ll test?

@SophT27 id be so tempted to test if I were you then!!

My cycles have ranged from 26-34 since I came off the pill in October. My last two were 26 days and the one before that was 34. I’m now day 31. This is why I’m holding off testing because my cycles are so erratic! It’s frustrating

@Fabpinky i’m on day 26 and my cycles are usually 22-24 days on average. I can usually set my clock to Flo. If it tells me AF is arriving, it generally does.

this could just be late. I’m so on edge.

I know you said you can have 34 day cycles. What day are you on?

OP posts:
Fabpinky · 05/07/2022 21:50

@SophT27 what day of your cycle are you and how long are your cycles on average?

@Fabpinky not till the weekend.

I think I’m going to have to bite the bullet and get a test if AF doesn’t arrive by tomorrow/Thursday. If it’s negative, then it’s negative, but then I won’t be stressed and hopefully things with my body can get back to normal.

and it it’s a BPF… well hell knows 🤣 probably still be anxious and worried about everything little symptom.

I still feel nauseous, but I did have a big dinner, but I felt nauseous before too.

Sorry posted too soon 🤣🤣

I've never got to 13dpo before so it'll be nerve wrecking to see what my body does tomorrow! Ive got no cramps or anything 👀
I dunno how you're not losing your mind not being able to test🙈 when can you??

pcosandme.x · 05/07/2022 21:20

@SophT27 hmm interesting.

Fabpinky · 05/07/2022 21:04

@SophT27 no change here. I feel nauseous right but I had a massive dinner 😂 so blaming that and anxiety like you say. When are you home?

@pcosandme.x i’m probably not the best person to ask, but I’ve been Googling every little thing and it seems that you can. I’m sure it said 10-12 days was the most common time for implantation. There is still
hope for you. Have you had any more
bleeding?

I can’t get over the fact my stomach feels almost like I could have the arrival of AF at any minute. And I’m not sure that the nausea isn’t maybe caused by a bit of anxiety. I wish I was home so I could do a sneaky test without anyone needing to know, but no such luck this week. Xx

pcosandme.x · 05/07/2022 20:53

@SophT27 I'm 12dpo :) not very hopeful but I guess you never know! I've had sore boobs but it's disappearing now, could I get implantation spotting on 12dpo!?

Fingers crossed for us both, your symptoms sound hopeful

@pcosandme.x how many DPO are you now?

I haven’t tested with a FRER but all of the usual ones were negative for me last week.

could the spotting be an implantation bleed?

Well, still no AF although I was convinced earlier that when I came to a toilet it would have arrived.

I’ve had quite a bit of lower abdo / lower back pain today. Almost like a dull ache. Then tonight I had a really horrible episode of nausea just before we ate dinner.

I really don’t feel right, but I think a lot of it is anxiety related.

how are you feeling @Fabpinky @Dawnymillz @pcosandme.x

OP posts:
pcosandme.x · 05/07/2022 20:11

Still no af for me either! Negative FRER this morning but just had a tiny bit of spotting a few mins ago 🤔

How's everyone feeling?

SophT27 · 05/07/2022 12:35

@Fabpinky @Dawnymillz sure is!

nothing yet, but I’ve started having quite bad stomach cramps so sadly, I think today is the day. Hopefully there will another toilet stop soon as I think I may have started bleeding.

Dawnymillz · 05/07/2022 12:34

@Fabpinky 😂😂 AF isn't due until Sunday and I'm at the same thing!

Fabpinky · 05/07/2022 12:22

@pcosandme.x any sign of AF?

@Dawnymillz @SophT27 knicker checking is at an all time high today 😂😂

SophT27 · 05/07/2022 09:34

Well, today is only 1 day late according to Flo so AF could still arrive. I had horrible lower back ache last night that seems to have settled now.

I so want to test (but would need to go and buy one, which would mean telling hubby) but I don’t want to see that BFN which I am so sure will be there.

@Dawnymillz I know right, I’m literally reading every little thing. It’s the most frustrating thing ever.

@Fabpinky I think it’s recognising I’m late, but it telling me its normal to be up to 7 days late 🙄

OP posts:
Dawnymillz · 05/07/2022 09:06

@SophT27 aw I hope not 😔 such a rollercoaster! Dont think I've ever read my body as much haha.

Fabpinky · 05/07/2022 08:56

@SophT27 yeah Flo is so annoying! Although it’s telling me I’m 1 day late now. Still no AF. Had a few twinges last night so am fully expecting it today or tomorrow.

Dawnymillz · 05/07/2022 08:48

Morning @SophT27 feeling ok today. Was very crampy last night in bed, felt odd lying on my stomach. How are you feeling? Very helpful Flo 🤣

SophT27 · 05/07/2022 08:38

Morning @Fabpinky @Dawnymillz @pcosandme.x

how are you all feeling today? Any updates. Still no AF for me this morning. I’m currently cycle day 26 and Flo is telling me it can normal for a period to be up to 7 days late, which is unhelpful 😂🫣

pcosandme.x · 05/07/2022 06:46

@GothGirlSophie I'm 12dpo and af is due today 🙃 it really is. How are you xx

GothGirlSophie · 04/07/2022 21:22

@pcosandme.x how far into your cycle are you? It’s just so frustrating isn’t it. Xx

pcosandme.x · 04/07/2022 20:11

SophT27 · 04/07/2022 19:43

I’ve got an ache in my lower abdo, I keep thinking it’s period cramps and the start of AF but nothing has happened. It feels slightly different too. I’ve had bouts of nausea and I’ve been quite tired.

I just don’t know. I keep kidding myself that I won’t think about it tomorrow/today, and then I think about it and start symptom spotting. I’ve had a little bit more CM that usual for this time or the month i’d say. Every day that there is still no AF gets my hopes up, but like you said, our bodies are the worst and are probably doing that to keep us on our toes.

i’ll keep everything crossed for you that this is your month. And please keep us updated xx

This sounds exactly like me at the moment! About to go crazy😭
