Okay so today im 6DPO.... got some on and off low cramping, on and off headaches feeling constantly tired and just no energy, some thick white CM,my cervix is soft and higher up and just a general mleh feeling. Ive notice too the past 2 days my lower stomach is bloated a bit gassy and this sounds weird but when i bend or anything it feels like my tummys in the way so to speak. Know its WAY to early to test and trying so hard not to symptom spot yet just hoping this is my month. Anyone else in the same boat ?

@Rainbowbabyplease @Chanteuse
Well I managed to refrain from taking the tests this morning.. I put it off while making breakfast and trying to decide what to do and then made myself fmu in the downstairs toilet so I wasn’t tempted!! So hard though. I’m tempted to buy some frer after work and try them for a few days and hold off the clearblue... I’m 8dpo today. Just want a yes or a no. Definitely cramping/ twitching/ heartburn today and my boobs definitely feel fuller and tender to touch. I don’t know. It difficult because everyone’s symptoms are so different and pms symptoms are also very similar eh. It’s been refreshing reading through this feed though and knowing I’m not the only one who suddenly gets obsessive, Google’s everything and can’t think about anything else…

@tpdwe heyyy! I know it’s super tempting but please don’t do a test at 7dpo - more than anything it’s a massive waste of money! I’m pregnant and I had my first vvvfl at 9dpo and even then DH wasn’t convinced. Took a digital at 11dpo to convince him!

Rainbowbabyplease · 15/02/2023 22:50

@tpdwe hello 👋 my goodness all 16 pages 😂 personally I would wait a bit before trying a test. I know it's super tempting but 7dpo is very early to get a bfp even if you are pregnant this month. I started testing at about 10dpo I think and got a very very faint bfp on a FRER test but negative on the clearblue digital and any other test. It wasn't until 13/14dpo I got the positive on a clearblue digital and started getting BFP on amazon cheapie tests. I would try and hold off for a few days. I think even the early tests are designed to pick up pregnancy 6 days before a missed period. I know the TWW seems to drag. Keep us posted though and good luck ❤️

Just scrolled through the whole 16 pages of replies on here 🥹

I’m 7dpo and feel like I’ve been having symptoms. My boobs are tender to touch and a couple days ago I had slight cramping on my right side. Since then I’ve been having random cramps and also bloated so then my head is like nah it’s probably just gas or have a poop brewing.. I had a few positives end of Aug and then heavy period followed a few days later, as did negative tests and had to go for scan etc which confirmed there was nothing there 😔

not actively trying because I can’t handle the stress and getting caught up in it.. turns out I do every time I’m waiting for my period anyway 🙄

I bought two clear blue Early detection tests earlier to try ease my mind but now I’m scared to take them. Want a clear piece of mind but also expecting a bfn as it’s still early. I feel like I’m in a lose lose situation but deep down hoping it will be a bfp in a week or 2. Too scared to take one tomorrow for fmu because I feel it’ll be negative anyway but curiosity is killing the car and this tww is HELLLLLLLL!!!!

Don’t know what to do but had to get this off my chest 😅

You know what men are like. He'd probably be keen regardless 😂.

Hey lovely’s sorry I’ve been a bit quiet me, my hubby and my daughter have got Covid 😷 I did an ovulation test today for the first time and it’s come up so positive but according to the app I’m on im not supposed to be ovulating until Monday 😱xxx

Oh no. Are they ok? Is he well enough? 😂

Rainbowbabyplease · 15/02/2023 16:21

@ttcttc my midwife said they would only offer me an early scan on nhs if I'd had 2 miscarriages. It might be worth seeing if your area are the same. The private early scans are from 9 weeks. I just searched Google to see if they did them in my area xx

That's a bit crap isn't it. I can ask. I'm only early so not referred myself yet xx

@ttcttc I've booked a private one as they only do an early one on the nhs if you've had 2 miscarriages 😔

Is that every county or NHS trust specific do you know?

How early will a private scan you x

@Rainbowbabyplease scan even. Sorry!

Rainbowbabyplease · 15/02/2023 10:28

@ttcttc I know I think it is too. We are looking for symptoms and testing all through the TWW then time drags again after we get a BFP. I've booked an early scan at just over 9 weeks as last time we weren't going to get our first scan until 13 weeks. Found out at 11 weeks baby had stopped growing at 7 weeks and no heartbeat so had to have medical management of miscarriage. Just tablets and then sent home but it was still horrendous. Just trying to relax and not worry too much but its soooo difficult.

Will you have an early test again?

@ttcttc 6 weeks today 😊

Ah you're two week in front of me. Sometimes think it's a curse to find out so early x

@ttcttc same really. Tiredness and sickness have really ramped up this week. I had a MMC in September so I'm trying not too worry about every twinge which is really difficult so I completely get where you're coming from. Sending love and hugs ❤️

Aw bless you.

How far along are you xx

@ttcttc huge congratulations ❤️ how are you feeling?

How is everyone else getting on? Good luck to those ttc this cycle, looking forward to your updates and hoping for some more BFPs ❤️

Feeling hungry and sick 😂 bizarre.

I've been having cramps too which I now is normal but after my mc I'm anxious about it. My boobs feel a bit heavy too.

How are you doing?

Swiftie12 · 13/02/2023 22:38

@Mrsrobinsonx ive been testing in the evenings as well as mornings and there’s very minimal change. Last month I got a positive OPK later in the day. According to flo I’m supposed to be ovulating today (I realise apps aren’t 100% accurate) and my evening score was another low one. I have no idea what’s going on with it. Whether it’s the strips, whether my urine is too dilute (I’ve been trying to drink more lately).

@ttcttc we’re keeping to every other day just incase 😂😂

Mrsrobinsonx · 13/02/2023 19:11

You shouldn’t test for LH before 12pm.
the best time to test is between 2-6pm, my test last month was almost positive at like 1pm and then peak at 6pm. X

ttcttc · 13/02/2023 13:10

Swiftie12 · 13/02/2023 12:56

@ttcttc I’m wondering this as well. But day 11 seems so early for it. I should have been tracking it better really but I’ve only started testing ovulation regularly just after AF finished. I’ve got 7-11 and none of those are looking great. Im hoping the surge hasn’t come yet as I’ve never quite peaked.

Just have sex every other day to cover all bases 😜
