7dpo symptoms

159 replies

Geemmm · 11/09/2022 15:36

Hi all - looking for anyone who can share their experiences.

I’m currently 7dpo and have had cramping/twinges in lower abdomen since 5dpo. On 5 and 6 dpo I had back pain like sciatica on my left side only. I normally feel ovulation and not implantation - do we think this could be implantation? Has anyone had similar then had a BFP?

I have had 3 early losses and have felt little cramps before but normally later in the cycle. I should point out I ovulated a week later than expected this cycle too.

Anyone out there can share experiences at 7dpo that led to a BFP? And when they got a BFP?

I usually get sore boobs after O but have only had tender nipples for a few days and now there is nothing. I have also dried up almost completely with CM which is unusual. Tried to check my cervix and couldn’t reach it - is this good or bad at this stage? I don’t frequently check I must admit.

Sending lots of love to all those ttc x

@vitahelp that's what I thought 😱 today I'm 8dpo. Had nausea at lunch too but don't know if it was because I was hungry even though I didn't feel hungry until I ate and then I've been hungry all day and now lay in bed wanting food 🤣
Oh I hate that when on a temp recording streak and then forget and feel so disappointed! But we are human and these things happen. Men have it so easy?!

How are you feeling now? Did you feel queasy during the day or just this morning?

@Geemmm how are you doing? ☺️

vitahelp · 10/10/2022 08:10

@tashadae27 Omg that's insanely high! I really hope it's a good sign for you! How many dpo are you now?? The sickness sounds hopeful as well (I'm not often pleased for people feeling sick but in this case...!!)

I was so annoyed with myself this morning, I completely forgot to do my temp when I woke up. I realised after being up for 5 mins so did it then and it was similar to the last few days, but I read that it rises very quickly after getting up and moving around so I can't really trust it. I'm not feeling great today either, I feel quite queasy and sickly. But I'm not really a morning person and have felt a bit like this before on occasion so I'm trying not to get excited. I can sense this is going to be a long week...

tashadae27 · 10/10/2022 07:10

Morning ladies 😊
Well, I woke up this morning with a bbt of 36.92! What?! Never had it that high before? And then I was almost sick, tears down my face the lot! But don't know if that was just anxiety from the big temp rise?

Hope you both have a wonderful day xx

vitahelp · 09/10/2022 16:13

Hi ladies! 😊

@Geemmm oo thats a nice surprise that you’re further than you thought you were! Less time to wait! I’m also 7dpo today, although I’m also not too sure as my temps were all over the place around when ovulation would have happened.

@tashadae27 I’m also recording very high temps, gone up to 36.68 which is the highest I’ve ever seen it since starting ttc in June. Hoping it’s a good sign.

I’m having a lovely weekend and feeling very happy & chilled. But the symptom spotting is definitely creeping in, I got a few sharp twinges this morning and a mild headache for about an hour. Logically I know these things probably happen all the time but I won’t usually notice, so I’m trying not to look too much into it!

tashadae27 · 09/10/2022 11:16

Morning @Geemmm it's probably changed due to your temp information mine does that sometimes and yes the info you have submitted. Thats good about the aspirin 🥰

My temps are the highest they have ever been this cycle, probably just noticing it more now than ever but previous cycles in the LP it's normally around 36.4 mark ish, atm it's 36.78 and pretty static around there.
Really tired today (but could be down to having a domino's yesterday which gave me high sugars damn it, I just should avoid having one which is super rare but this happens everytime!)

Hope you're both OK and enjoying this sunny Sunday x

Morning ladies - how are we today?

Feeling the same (at the minute) trying to keep really chill and stay away from Google searches like 'symptoms at 4dpo' haha!

My app has changed my predicted ovulation due to that one peak test I did and it's dating me now at 7dpo today instead of 5dpo. Not sure why it took its time to adjust but think it's because I haven't submitted lots of information this month. So I'm maybe 5, maybe 7 🤷🏼‍♀️

I've been taking the aspirin and so far no side effects 🤞🏻

Hope you both had lovely chilled Saturdays!

@tashadae27 That sounds amazing! Enjoy 😀🍿

tashadae27 · 08/10/2022 10:42

@vitahelp I agree with you about feeling in control with things, you're absolutely right.
Your day sounds lovely (minus the cleaning haha) me and DH decided we were going to have a marathon day of watching one tree hill (on season 8) so he's got the duvet and pillows downstairs gonna have a cosy day on the living room floor watching it with popcorn 🍿 😀 we never usually have a relaxing day as both always so busy so it's gonna be a real treat! 😀

vitahelp · 08/10/2022 10:25

Morning ladies, I think I’m 6dpo today. I’ve not had any symptoms or signs yet except I was so so tired yesterday but I changed my hours this week to earlier starts so it was more than likely due to that. Had a nice lie in today and feel a lot better.

@Geemmm Yes definitely start taking them if it feels right for you. It’s nice to feel in control of certain things as it TTC is such an uncertain business.

@tashadae27 I feel a lot calmer regarding symptom spotting this time too. Hoping I can continue this through next week, I tend to get more obsessive around 8dpo when implantation could have happened.

Have you both got any plans for weekend? I’ve got a fairly quiet one, just swimming later with DD then chilling/cleaning the house.

tashadae27 · 07/10/2022 20:18

Hi both,
Doing OK today thanks! How are you?
May be unrelated and TMI but I feel so constipated yesterday and today which is so unlike me. Not sure where its come from as I have a good balanced diet and drinking plenty of water?
It's completely upto you if you want to take it @Geemmm not anyone else's decision!
I've been told I will have to have aspirin too when I fall pregnant due to my diabetes.
I feel so different this cycle, like before I was googling everything and noting down every symptom but this time I'm keeping myself busy and not thinking about it! Some slight niggles lower right side but nothing to write home about. 😊

Hi ladies - how are we today?

I think I'm 3po today. My cm is creamy but not a lot and I've been having little niggle low down in my abdomen with a wee shooting pain. Can't tell now whether these are normal or not I've been doing this for too long 😅

Decided I'm gonna take some baby aspirin from tomorrow just incase. Midwife had said to me that they would give me this if I fell pregnant again because of the lupus situ so I'm just gonna go for it. Lots of folk telling me not to but my minds made up I think.

@vitahelp I've done this too 🙈

tashadae27 · 06/10/2022 18:31

Hi ladies, busy day at work here so slow on the reply front!
@Geemmm I'll keep you strong and away from the tests haha!
@vitahelp nothing to report here either just still got all this CM! Aww I haven't even looked! I did that with my last pregnancy though but once I knew I was pregnant.

Hoping for good news for us all this month and sending lots of baby dust!

😘

vitahelp · 06/10/2022 12:47

Hi ladies, hope you're both ok today? I've nothing new to report, I think I'm 4dpo today so would be too early for symptoms/signs etc. I did work out roughly when baby would be born if I am pregnant this cycle...really shouldn't do that!!

I know I did think that as I ovulated late last month but with that positive opk and the pains I've been having I'm like I'm sure I have O'd 🤷🏼‍♀️

Aw that's cute - I think that's the same day as me, you seem very on it with the willpower so maybe u will keep me strong until then too 😅 each time I think I want to tell my OH in a cute way then im pure on the phone two seconds later telling him or waking him up at 5 in the morning with my FMU test 🙈.

Thank u love - hope this is gonna be a good month for us all 🤞🏻🤞🏻

tashadae27 · 05/10/2022 19:25

@Geemmm could be late ovulation? But then again if you had positive opk maybe not? Our bodies are so confusing at times! When you think you know it and then BAM! Something shakes it up a bit 😅

I'll do it on the Sunday and then hopefully when it says positive I can surprise him when he gets home? Not that I'm thinking into it much or anything haha.

Sending you lots of positivity and hope that you can give them the good news! 😊

@tashadae27 there hasn't been much movement tbh been gradually increasing from 36.04 to 36.31 - really different to the variety I usually get 😅 I'm so clueless with it all I'm makes me more confused!

Ohh me too - lots of CCM that feels watery-ish 🤷🏼‍♀️

Aw really - will u test while he is away? I have the hosp on 17th so think I will test on the 16th. Dreaming I will walk into that appointment saying "I'm pregnant" so they can give me the injections and stuff that I need as early as possible 🤞🏻

OP posts:
tashadae27 · 05/10/2022 18:20

@Geemmm just out of interest, what have your temps been like over the past week?

My app says I'm 3dpo. I'm getting lots of CCM, it's not sticky, it's not dry, so not sure what that's about.

My app says I'm due AF 14/10 but recommends I test 16/10 (think cos I've been having shorter LP recently) funnily enough DH ie away the day I can test so that'll be interesting!

Geemmm · 05/10/2022 17:03

Thanks ladies - it's been awful I never have pain like that. Have a weird heaviness and like pressure in my lower abdomen today - hoping it something good and not like a uti brewing or something 🤦🏼‍♀️ knowing my luck it's likely!

Glad to here ur sugars are sorting themselves out love 🙌🏻.

Are you both 3dpo today? That's me 1dpo (according to app) and I'm due AF the 18th. Not sure what's happening as I've had no drop in temp. I still find temping very strange lol.

OP posts:
vitahelp · 05/10/2022 07:34

@Geemmm I hope your ovulation pains are a good sign! 🤞🏻

@tashadae27 That's great news about your blood sugars! I feel worryingly hopeful about this cycle, I think it's because we DTD a lot more this time. I really don't want to get my hopes up though!

My app thinks I'm 3dpo now and AF would be due 13dpo...feels like so long but will probably go fast. So glad I have you ladies to chat to about it.

tashadae27 · 04/10/2022 21:17

@Geemmm ouchy sounds awful for you! Here's hoping it's a juicy healthy egg! Could be hormones playing a part in the pain :( Hope it subsides for you soon.

My blood sugars are finally coming down 🙏 so I can start to feel a bit more 'normal'.

I haven't even looked to see when my period due date it so leaving it to my app to notify me its due in a few days then I'll think about testing but not until AF due. I'm keeping a positive mind 😌

Geemmm · 04/10/2022 19:36

Sounding all good ladies - I think I’m a wee bit behind yous my app says I’m to ovulate today and I think it may be right (Tmi warning lol) I’m having loads of pain today. Started in my back again like the other night but stronger, then moved round to my abdomen too on the left side. I now keep getting like shooting pains up my vagina and just above my pubic bone. Soo uncomfortable actually taking my breath away. Never usually get pain this bad except from when I have AF or when I have had my MC’s. Hoping this means my body is shooting out a lovely, big, healthy egg 🤞🏻

Think you are both right with the testing - I will do the same this month hopefully. I have tested pos at 12 dpo with my pregnancies but I will try my best to wait until missed period 🤦🏼‍♀️

tashadae27 · 04/10/2022 16:32

@vitahelp we can distract one another during the 2ww 😅
I'm going to try my best to keep myself busy and active so I'm not over thinking and wondering endlessly! And I'm going to stop googling any little symptom (youd think being a nurse I'd know to not do that!) 😆

Positive vibes manifesting all around us 🙌

vitahelp · 04/10/2022 14:41

That sounds like perfect timing! I hope things settle now with your blood sugars!

I really hope I have ovulated, it would be a bit weird if I hadn't yet by now. I think I always have 10dpo in my head because that was when I got a BFP when I was pregnant with my daughter. Even then, I spent the next few days frantically re-testing in case it didn't stick, so I wouldn't recommend it. Hopefully this thread can keep me calm during the 2ww and I can keep away from the tests!

tashadae27 · 04/10/2022 09:02

@vitahelp my app just told me I ovulated on Sunday. We dtd Saturday and Sunday so hopefully caught it! Still got copious of EWCM though even overnight last night so can't remember having it for this long previously. My temp really jumped today m, has been 36.25 sat (first small jump from 35.95 on fri), 36.32 sun, 36.33 Mon and 36.60 today! Hopefully now I've ovulated my blood sugars will come down (what a ballache!)
Sounds to me like you ovulated at the weekend or yesterday) it's possible you ovulated during the night I've had that before and haven't felt anything.
I think 10dpo is early to test, my last pregnancy I tested day 12 got a bfn then tested day 14 got a bfp! The timing makes all the difference and then you arent disappointed unnecessarily :)
😎

vitahelp · 04/10/2022 07:56

Morning! Oo that sounds like you may have ovulated @tashadae27 or maybe close to doing. I want to try and do the same as you with the testing, it is so easy to say now though but once I get to 10dpo I start getting so impatient and almost want to test so I can get a bfn and stop getting my hopes up/symptom spotting.

I finally had a temp rise today so I'm quite certain I have ovulated. Still finding it odd that I didn't get any cramps though, I usually get them for the whole day after but maybe the timing meant I got the cramps overnight this time perhaps. I randomly got ewcm last night though which confused me, but I have had it up to 2 days after ovulation in the past so probably doesn't mean anything.
