Anybody else in the same boat??

I'm 5dpo and I've had an ache on my right side through yesterday evening and all today
It's not painful but can't ignore it 🤣

Wondering if anyone has similar or is waiting like me 😊

@Hannah4850 I have just seen this. I am so sorry you’re feeling unwell too and had to cancel your date. Let us know what your result is once you’ve tested! Fingers crossed 🤞🏻

chamena · 09/04/2024 22:22

So glad to find others in this same crazy boat

The weird cramping is what made me test. Very low and central. Like pulling and a dull bruisy feel if that makes sense. Not like my usual af cramps but who bloody knows!

JM1997 · 09/04/2024 22:20

@chamena welcome👋🏻 I can definitely see something as well, let us know if you test again!

JM1997 · 09/04/2024 22:18

@GSD2024 can you imagine if we have all managed to catch something from over the phone 🤣🤣 I have got cramping now as well and it doesn’t feel like my normal period cramps hmmm 🤷🏻‍♀️

Thanks. I would never normally use a blue dye but I had vowed not to test until Thursday and then caved (as usual) and it was all I could get. I don’t see any colour to the lines so I think they are indents most likely. Just had weird twinges in my central lower abdomen all day and clutching at straws trying to believe it meant something!

I feel you! I've been grabbing at anything that could be a sign or symptom and it's crazy haha can't help it though!

@chamena you're in the right place to be surrounded by others who are clutching at straws and testing early 😂

Can I join please? My app has me as 7dpo but I think I might be 8dpo. Caved and did a blue dye test this evening as all I could get today (have some frer coming tomorrow).

Hiya! I can see a very faint line but I hate clear blue personally they give such bad evap lines which are grey and look like faint positives 😫
Yours could well be a faint positive though so you have any pink dye tests??

GSD2024 · 09/04/2024 21:56

@chamena welcome 👋, how are you feeling? I can definitely see something 🤞 but would test with a pink dye test tomorrow. Keep us updated xx

@JM1997 sorry you’re still feeling unwell, did you book a GP appointment?

I was looking back at the tests I took when I fell pregnant with my DS. I got a very faint line on a FRER at 11DPO but no noticeable BFP until 13DPO which gives me a bit of hope still, particularly given the tests I have are 25miu.

I don’t have any other tests so will wait until Saturday as I will then be late if my period hasn’t arrived.

Last time I didn't get even a super faint on a frer till 11dpo nobody could see it except me 😅

@Hannah4850 if you both thought you saw it that sounds promising. When will you test again 🤞

I have felt so odd today. I keep getting really bad tingling pains in my left side lower back and leg. And left stomach pains. My head is pounding and ears are ringing so probably coming down with something. I just wish there was a way to tell these symptoms apart between what’s normal and what’s not!

Well I cancelled out date to lie and sleep on the sofa all day and I've had headaches for 2 days so I think I'm coming down with a head cold 😭
I'll be testing again in the morning haha you??

@GSD2024 thank you so much, yeah I spoke to a GP over the phone and she reckons I have a viral infection.
May you’re a late one to get a BFP, if you think about it is still quite early, so I am keeping everything crossed for you. Let me know whether your period comes.
How are you feeling now??

JM1997 · 09/04/2024 21:35

@GSD2024 I literally know what you mean. It is hard to tell what symptoms are useful ones. I hope you feel better soon. Fingers crossed yours are a good sign. I’m sat here tonight feeling so nauseous but again I’m feeling rubbish in general so I think it is just linked to that. I will see if AF comes and then if it doesn’t I’ll test but it probs will do. When will you test??
