7dpo symptoms

@tashadae27 That sounds amazing, well done for waiting until tomorrow to test! I really hope it is good news, let me know xx

@vitahelp I'm sorry to hear that lovely 😞
Temp rose again today to 36.96! Lots of thin but CCM yesterday and this morning. But of nausea this morning and just a general heavy bloated feeling down below. Will test tomorrow and let you know.

@Geemmm how are you doing? X

@tashadae27 Morning! I hope your temp is still high this morning? Mine has dropped below the coverline this month so expecting AF today or tomorrow. I feel ok about it, I got all the upset and disappointment out of the way a few days ago when my temp first started dropping. This is the first cycle I've not tested which is a turning point for me, I do think it was partly due to my temps dropping quite early so I didn't really need to test to know I wasn't pregnant this month.

Bless you @vitahelp I'm glad it put your mind at rest. Oh you use fertility friend, I've seen lots of people use that, I just use my natural cycles graph. Temp this morning still nice and high at 36.87, I've attached a copy of my graph below x

Here’s my chart as of today, send yours if you can xx

Thank you @tashadae27 I was sat in the waiting room thinking it was a mistake and was going to feel like a waste of time/make me feel worse. But it really did help to talk it through, even though he didn't tell me anything I didn't already know it just put my mind at rest.

I don't blame you for overthinking when you're having so many symptoms! How was your temp this morning? I hope it's still nice and high! Mine stayed the same as yesterday, it is still a bit above the coverline but much lower than it would be if I was pregnant.

I'm so pleased you feel better after the appointment @vitahelp I was thinking about you this evening 😊sometimes just talking to someone alleviates some of the anxieties/intrusive thoughts.

I'm so bloated right now, I feel like my lower region is about to pop, I've had rennies hoping it helps! I've been getting the pains again on and off most the evening but they're more like twinges/dull throbbing? I can't stop peeing again. Really starting to notice any little thing again now and I've got to stop or I'll go crazy.
I'll let you know what my temp does in the morning 😊

How are you feeling now @tashadae27 ? You’re being very controlled not testing, it sounds like you’ve got lots of positive signs! I really hope this is it for you!

I had my appointment tonight, he said I should keep trying for another 6 months before they would look at other options. He couldn’t really think of anything different we could do and doesn’t think I should worry. Even though he didn’t tell me anything I didn’t know, I still felt a lot better afterwards.

Just had a really sharp sudden painful pain in my lower right side, which lasted for around 2 minutes on and off, it took my breath away! And now I feel really nauseous to a point I'm sat at work heaving with tears in my eyes! This is sudden and now I'm panicking 🤔 I also have a headache today which won't go.. I'm feeling sorry for myself

Oh @vitahelp sorry to hear that. I hope the appointment goes as well as it can do, it's good they are seeing you and taking it seriously that's really reassuring.

I was tired yesterday but I find on my days off I usually am! When at work I'm energetic because I love.my job and I'm enthusiastic about it so I tend to pick up when I'm at work if that makes sense. Only symptoms I've had are the niggly prickly sensations I did have a sudden dull but noticeable pain yesterday but lasted for only a few minutes then went and nothing since. I was hungry a few days ago but nothing new really I can't say I'm overly hungry or craving the monthly chocolate fix (yet)

@tashadae27 I know what you mean but is classic pre-AF drop for me so I'm almost certain I'm out. I'm literally feeling nothing either, I think I would have had some sort of ache or twinge by now if I was. I ended up sending an enquiry to the doctor today as I'm at the 6 month point now, I was expecting a call telling me to give it longer etc but they have asked me to come for an appointment tonight. I'm sure not too much will come of it next but it's nice to be taken seriously and hopefully they can put my mind at rest/make some suggestions.

Wow it's crazy that your temp is still rising, I so hope it is good news for you! The pains you are getting sound very promising too! Are you getting any tiredness etc? Do you usually get pre-AF symptoms?

Oh bless you @vitahelp I'm not sure what I think to all the temp info though because it's all so variable information?
My temp has risen again today to 36.91 it's never been this high?! I always test as soon as I open my eyes in the morning before moving or getting out of bed so it must be accurate.
Last night's prickly sensations now feel like ovulation twinges on my Left side, but then am getting random niggle pains right side too so I'm baffled.
Will be interested to see what my temps are like in the coming days as build up to expected AF.

@tashadae27 Morning! It was a weird one as DH & I were both quite ill with a bad cold so most symptoms I did have were most likely because of that. I think I had slight lower backache, but I did a lot in the gym back then so even that could have been nothing to do with the pregnancy.

How are your temps this morning? Mine has plummeted today, still above coverline but a big drop and I'm quite certain I can't be pregnant as it has dropped for 2 days now so following the usual pattern towards AF. I thought I was going to take it quite well this month, but the disappointment this morning has surprised me.

Did you have any early signs with your DD @vitahelp ? Before your bfp?

I've had prickly twinges on and off today and sore boobs but had that last cycle too.

@tashadae27 It would be so weird if I was, I’d be so convinced that she knew! Sadly I don’t feel remotely pregnant and not had a single symptom today despite being hyper aware. I’m sort of resigning myself to not getting a BFP this time, just doesn’t feel like it’s going to happen.. Let’s see what tomorrow brings xx

@vitahelp ah thank you for your kind words 😊
Haha maybe she knows! They do say animals can sense these things!
Let's hope she hasn't got dementia 😯

@tashadae27 Oh I can relate to that. I was so convinced I would get pregnant quickly I told various people we had started trying, even my hairdresser 🙈 Thankfully everyone has been tactful enough not to ask how it is going!

I’m so sorry you went through that, it must have been so difficult and also frustrating having to wait so long to start trying again. I so hope it happens for you this cycle or very soon.

So, it seems my cat is joining in the 2 week wait fun this cycle…we were having tea and she walked in and went all bushy (a reaction usually reserved for when someone visits with a dog or when we first brought our newborn daughter home from hospital). Then she spent 10 mins staring at me like she had seen a ghost - at one point I was convinced there was a massive spider on my jumper or something! Then she slowly worked her way towards me looking scared like she had never seen me before. And eventually got on the table and mewed a lot at me, then got on my knee and tried to curl up. She never does any of this including getting on my knee at the dinner table, so either I’m pregnant or she has some sort of dementia/has been drugged 😂 Luckily I’m remaining calm and not allowing my cat to convince me I’m pregnant!

@vitahelp ah its hard to not dwell on it though it's a normal reaction to have. I was so convinced I was gonna get a bfp last cycle and I didn't so I was in shock to be honest! In fact I told my best friend I thought I was pregnant as I had all the signs. But there we go that'll teach me!

Aww I think that's a lovely age gap ☺️ as she's now at school for a little one to arrive sounds lovely to me!

Well we started in November last year and we were so lucky to fall pregnant first try, so was so upset when we found out it was an ectopic pregnancy, I had to have treatment for that un January of this year (but kept my tube) which I'm thankful for, and then had to wait for my body to get back to normal and then I had to have 3 months of folic acid before I started trying again, we were going to try in May but I felt ovulation on the side the ectopic was and I panicked so we didn't go for it in May. Tried in June, but was too late missed ovulation then waited until last month but was a bfn so here we are!

I feel old too, not sure where the years have gone! One minute I was getting excited about going out seeing friends at events and now I get excited about Henry hoover bags! 😂

I'm glad you're feeling calmer too. I feel a lot better for it too and feel I will be more accepting if it is a BFN and just move on to the next cycle. I really dwelled on it last month and don't want to do that again. I just hope the obsession doesn't build up over the next few days!!

She is 4 and has just started school. I always wanted quite a big age gap and started trying a couple of months before she turned 4, but I assumed it would happen quickly like it did with her. Now it is taking a bit longer I wish I had started trying a bit earlier. I'm concerned the age gap might be too big, but it is one of those things you can't plan I suppose!

Aww I really hope it happens for you soon! How long have you been trying now? (sorry if you already mentioned this upthread).

I was 32 when I had DD and am 36 now. I was quite immature in my 20s so didn't even consider kids then, but now it's gone the other way and I feel quite old all of a sudden!

That's good you don't have temptations yet @vitahelp I feel different this cycle, taking it in my stride, not over obsessing, and I feel healthier for it 😌i think I'll do what you plan to do, test Saturday morning unless other signs that AF is rearing her ugly head 😆
My temp also dropped the day I got my bfp.
How old is your DD now? 😊
I always wanted to have a baby by the time I was 25 like my mum, and have longed since then for a baby, but I'm now 34 and want it now more than ever!

That sounds like a good plan for testing at weekend. I'm due AF on Saturday so I'll probably test then too unless there are clear signs that AF is coming. You're right about the temps, in fact when I got pregnant with DD my temps looked quite ordinary and the day i got a BFP my temp actually dropped quite a lot!

I really hope I start feeling something soon, although it might be better if I don't so I don't get my hopes up.

That's so weird about the peeing all the time, I'm glad it isn't a UTI!

I really hope these next few days go by quickly, I feel like this cycle has gone so quickly up until this week and now it is dragging. The good news is I feel no temptation to test yet, and I've been known to test at 9/10dpo in the past, but I think I'm going to be able to hold off this time.

@vitahelp I did have nausea last cycle though really bad and it turned out to be nothing but we can hope! I'm due AF Sunday so I'll test then (although home alone sat and sun so probs will do it saturday) keeping an eye on my temps but trying to not get fascinated by them.
Ah don't be disheartened too early though, you never know it could turn itself around, small temp variations are normal and I've heard not all pregnancies have a persistent high temp (my first although tubal I didn't get high temps but I still got my bfp).
I know what you mean about work anxiety I used to get it all the time now rarely but I suffer with anxiety anyway. Its a hard one to battle for sure!
I'm still really hungry but could be PMT 😆 I just want to eat everything?
Just can't stop peeing (I dipped it to make sure its not a UTI and it's not) so unless I have oedema in my body and it's making its way back to my kidneys I can't really explain it!
When are you due AF?

@tashadae27 Oh wow the nausea and rising temps sound so hopeful!! I think it is reasonable to get your hopes up based on that, but I know what you mean about wanting to keep the excitement in check just in case! Also, the waking up to pee if it isn't usual for you seems like such a good sign! When is your AF due and when do you think you will test??

The nausea was short lived for me, it had all but gone by late morning and hasn't returned since. I haven't felt any twinges/back ache/cramps etc either and my temp has dropped slightly this morning (talking a drop from 36.68 to 36.61 so not a big drop, but not the direction I was hoping for...)
I'm suddenly not feeling very confident at all and already anticipating the disappointment of a BFN/AF arrival. Having said that, I didn't sleep well last night either which is unusual for me, my alarm is set for 6am but I woke at 4am and every 30 mins after that thinking I had slept in. I think it might just be anxiety about my new hours at work and worrying I'll forget to get up earlier though.

Morning ladies, today is 9dpo and I slept REALLY BAD! I got up to pee 5 times!! 😫this is abnormal for me and I didn't even drink lots before bed in fact since I got in from work I had a cup of milk and a swig of water (bad I know).
Also, BBT is still up 36.89 now im finding myself wanting to Google things but I must nip it in the bud but I have this burning desire to Google it all 😆
How are you both doing, hope you're both OK x
