7/8DPO Pains With a Cold

102 replies

CloudyVenus · 02/01/2023 14:40

Hi everyone,

I am 7-8DPO today and I've had 2 colds since the end of November. Second one supposedly started the day after I was supposed to ovulate, now I'm not sure if its thrown everything off.

I've been coughing quite badly because of this and I have been getting strange pressure/light cramps in the pubic area. Is this caused by the coughing? I usually only notice it on my ribcage with a bad cough so I'm not sure if I just pulled a muscle, what do you all think please?

My partner has been ill both times as well before me, no idea where he's picking it up from! Never been ill twice so close together before. Thank you.

@Mrsrobinsonx @carsty I think its just an indent or something especially as I was already late when I tested but these are probably the beat pics I got of it (the same test I did 2 days ago) excuse my manky nails 🤣🤣x

I’ve tested tonight and it was still negative so I guess my period is just late. Ugh 😑 the waiting around for Af is the worst part x

carsty · 11/01/2023 18:15

@CloudyVenus Oh did you have a faint positive!! Also having cm sounds positive as this tends to increase if prego apparently...let us know and if your testing soon send a pic for line eyes...sounding more like a possible bfp esp since you are late!!!🤗🤗🤗

Mrsrobinsonx · 11/01/2023 15:47

@CloudyVenus If you got even a faint line then you’re probably pregnant! I was on the mini pill until October too but my few cycles I’ve had since then appear to be quite accurate and on time! X

@Mrsrobinsonx Aww bless you, that's understandable.

I checked to see if AF is here but just see wet CM. If I was pregnant I would of thought I'd of had a much clearer positive on the previous test I did? 🤷‍♀️ x

I don’t think it could be implantation as it 1st happened 6dpo and then 10dpo then again yesterday so wouldn’t have been that 🫣
I’ll have to wait and see if AF arrives in the next couple days and then think about speaking to a doctor, I don’t want to even put the idea back in my head that I could be pregnant as I just come round to the fact I was out this month 🙈
I think you’ve got a really good chance if you’re 3 days late and crampy! X

@Mrsrobinsonx ohh not good, although there could still be a chance based on what you have said?

I feel a bit crampy again today so just waiting to see.. AF was supposed to be here 3 says ago if my cycle followed last months 🤷‍♀️ x

Mrsrobinsonx · 11/01/2023 11:57

@CloudyVenus Ahhh, that makes it awkward then!

I tested Monday and it was 1000% negative so I’m just waiting for AF now! X

@Mrsrobinsonx Ironically the docs wanted me on the pill to regulate my cycles, but as I used to suffer with migranes they wouldn't let me have anything other than the mini pill after they were made aware!

@Mrsrobinsonx I'm not entirely sure! Last month it was on time, but as a teenager it was all over the place then I went on the pill (mostly mini pill) then only came off recently, so I really have no idea if they have sorted itself out since then and that I'm just ill this month messing it up. I feel like I'm too late now to get a positive test and I just didnt ovulate/ovulated late.

Have you done another test recently? It could be implantation?

OP posts:
Mrsrobinsonx · 11/01/2023 07:21

@CloudyVenus ooh could be a really good sign she’s staying away! Are you usually on time?

I am SO confused, this month is weird 😂 first I thought I was definitely pregnant then the tests were fully negative and I’ve come round to the fact my period will be arriving. But then like I said before both times we dtd last week when I wiped after it was pink and then clear again within a couple hours, yesterday we did it again and there was quite a lot of pink after - I told my husband it must be the start of my AF as expected so popped a pad on, then again after a couple of hours it’s gone and back to nothing!! So strange, I think I need to ring the doctor 🙈

@carsty I still have a sore throat and small cough, almost for 2 weeks now and it's keeping me awake. I feel so restless too 😞.

Glad to hear you're feeling better!

Still no AF for me and I haven't retested yet, going to wait until at least Sunday to give her a chance to show up 😂

carsty · 10/01/2023 11:53

Also, illness has improved a lot today so im grateful for that and hlad everyone else is also feeling better🤗🤗🤗

carsty · 10/01/2023 11:52

Mrsrobinsonx · 10/01/2023 09:58

@CloudyVenus
Ah that’s good to hear! I think I’m on the mend now. I slept well too!

@Mrsrobinsonx feel not too bad today thanks, slept a bit better last night. What about you?

As they say, you are not out yet! I still have no AF I'm thinking the illness really threw my cycles off now 😤

I think I had some cramps yesterday afternoon but they appear to have stopped now so confused 😕 my body never makes sense though 💀

OP posts:
Mrsrobinsonx · 10/01/2023 08:42

@CloudyVenus how are you? Ohh you’re so good for not testing 😆
I think AF is coming for me, feeling more crampy today (been the same all week but it just feels more like period ones today) oh well, onto next cycle I guess!

CloudyVenus · 09/01/2023 20:54

@Mrsrobinsonx hopefully we still have some hope!

Had lots of CM today, both clear and white. Still have sore nips. No idea how long to wait to retest as I only have one more test left 😳

OP posts:
Mrsrobinsonx · 09/01/2023 14:46

@CloudyVenus 12dpo, last time I fell pregnant in October (chemical pregnancy) I got a faint positive on this dpo so I think I’m out but just got to wait it out.

Oh really? no idea what’s it means but hopefully it’s good news for us 🙈

@Mrsrobinsonx hopefully it's good news for you! You're still quite early aren't you? Tmi but been feeling quite wet today as well 😵‍💫 strange!

Mrsrobinsonx · 09/01/2023 14:09

@CloudyVenus I’ve had mild cramps and backache all week, which is weird for me to get them before af starts. Not feeling much at all today.
At least if it does come for you at least you’ll know for sure x

AF may be on her way, I've had a few cramps and backaches this afternoon 😔

I’ve had exactly this! The coughing has woken me up all night and it feels like my belly’s done an ab workout

We are taking it easy at the moment. He already has one DC which seemed to happen straight away unlike us though, I have no children.

I had a nap as I felt so rough from last night and still no AF. I'm wondering how late she will be. I'm not putting too much hope on that test though!
