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 morning lovely! I’m so sorry that you got a BFN😢😢 just think you aren’t out of the running yet it isn’t over until the period arrives! I know what you mean about a gut feeling though, fingers crossed still for you. Oh nooo, it is so easily done though, I think we did it too late, as we DTD two days after I was expected to ovulate, so I think I’ll have missed it too, but they do say miracles happen! If we don’t get a positive this cycle, we can go again next cycle and this time we have our group from the start to support one another. Are you going to test again tomorrow?

Yeah I remember last time too I had a random day of anxiety and feeling down then got a Bfp a couple days later and we put it down to the hormones but if we don't this cycle then definitely we can all do the next together 😁

@Howdoyouwait I know how you feel, I was the same when I tested at 6dpo, you almost convince yourself that there are enough symptoms there for you to test positive!
Absolutely, continue to test, and keep us in the loop!
I am okay, just feeling quite tired, boobs feel massive, I keep getting headaches, have cramps frequent urination and nauseous. I am really trying not to symptom spot too but it is so hard to do!

@Howdoyouwait they sound like good symptoms, I had those symptoms on Friday! But I know how you would have felt after you took the test, I took mine at 6dpo and got a negative. I am now 11 dpo, and I’m trying so hard not to test, but I’ve bought some more tests and so tempted to use them! Let us know how the testing goes!

I was fully expecting negative as it's so early but somehow convinced myself it was worth a try anyway.

We could only DTD 5 days before ovulation so my chances are extremely slim anyway and I wasn't expecting anything, but the symptoms have made me wonder, probably just symptom spotting and overthinking but will continue to test.

How are you feeling now?

Hannah4850 · 08/04/2024 09:59

Morning ladies!
I'm 8dpo today and bfn 😭😭😭
I've got that gut feeling I'm not and it sucks !
My boobs are sore, I'm exhausted and feeling down today I had the runs last night too and was hopeful but definitely a bfn 😔😔
Last time I think it was either 9 or 11dpo I got a faint positive but I ovulated like 3/4 days early this cycle and think I missed it 😫

Can I join?
7dpo today, negative test this morning but my boobs are noticeably bigger feel heavy and I'm so nauseous this morning.
Will take another test in the morning.

JM1997 · 08/04/2024 08:23

@GSD2024 morning lovely! So I ordered some more tests last night and I’m so tempted to test today. But I’ll see what time the tests arrive as ideally I want to test in the morning as the HCG apparently is meant to be the highest. I feel like this week is D DAY with me due on this week, it has felt like forever getting to this week though. Are you going to test??

GSD2024 · 08/04/2024 06:46

Morning ladies. Is anyone testing this morning 🤞 I’m going to test tomorrow, but keeping everything crossed for those who are testing today

JM1997 · 07/04/2024 21:50

@butterflywingss it honestly is!! I only have one test but I might just use it tomorrow and then order more! It is due on Thursday!! I just can’t describe the feeling but since me and my partner had sex my body just feels so different, like cramps, nauseous, boob pains, headaches, cramps etc!

butterflywingss · 07/04/2024 21:46

JM1997 · 07/04/2024 21:43

@butterflywingss good luck, let us know you yet on. I’m 10dpo today and I’m so tempted to test but I’m really trying to hold off until I miss my period, as my periods are always on time, but I honestly really want to test! I may test tomorrow morning! I got a negative at 6dpo and my heart sunk so not sure I am ready to do it again!!

Oh bless, it's so hard not to test. I literally have a box of pregnancy tests I've taken because they are that addictive haha. When is your period due ?

JM1997 · 07/04/2024 21:41

@Hannah4850 that is true it is so hard to get excited about certain symptoms because you don’t want to get your hopes up!! It is honestly so bloody tough!

butterflywingss · 07/04/2024 21:33

I am 5dpo today and can't wait to test ! I wasn't actually trying for pregnancy but it happened to be that I dtd bang on my peak day so fingers crossed I can get a positive in a few weeks. I actually got pregnant the first time with my second the same way dtd on peak day with ovo tests but not sure what will happen this round. I have irregular periods so my Flo App says to test on the 25th April feels forever but in the past I got a faint BFP by 10dpo

JM1997 · 07/04/2024 21:11

@Hannah4850 that sounds like a lovely day! It is so hard to wait isn’t it. They seem like the right symptoms. I just seem to be getting cramping and sore boobs now, and nauseous🙈

Edited

Yeah me too but I'm thinking that if I am getting pregnancy related symptoms then surely I'd have a bro before it?? Like it's the hcg that causes them so if I have a bfn then I'm guessing it's for something else 😭😭
Trying to not get your hopes up is tough!

Hannah4850 · 07/04/2024 17:48

I've been out for brunch today then pottery painting 🤣
I've been getting sweats and aches but could be nothing, also a migraine but it's humid haha !
I don't have the willpower to wait my partner said he knows I do like 3 cheap tests a day haha 🤣🤣

@GSD2024 I have heard that, she just keeps sleeping on me and normally she is a nightmare and just won’t settle. Maybe she is just having a chilled day haha!
That is so funny, maybe we should just forget about pregnancy tests and go off dogs 😂

GSD2024 · 07/04/2024 14:22

@JM1997 they do say dogs have a 6th sense for these things.

When I was pregnant, I went to my friends house and her dog, who always jumps up, didn’t, and she said … oh, that’s weird, he only does that when people are pregnant 😂 so I had to tell her!!

JM1997 · 07/04/2024 14:17

@GSD2024 you’ve got this. Let us know how you get on. I can test on Thursday and it feels so long away! I feel so bloated today, and my dog keeps sniffing my tummy which is weird but it may just be that my clothes smell weird 😂

GSD2024 · 07/04/2024 14:11

@Hannah4850 it’s odd, for around 5 minutes I swore I could see a vvvvfl, but it must have been my eyes playing tricks! this is going to be the longest 48hrs!! Xx

JM1997 · 07/04/2024 13:17

@GSD2024 @Hannah4850 aw nooo, you never know you may still both get BFPs! I’m trying so so hard not to test, my partner keeps saying just keep waiting you can do it!!

GSD2024 · 07/04/2024 11:44

@Hannah4850 I’m apparently 9dpo so think I’m likely out. Will test again at 11DPO as that’s when I got the BFP last time

JM1997 · 07/04/2024 11:00

@Hannah4850 I am glad that it was good! Absolutely, we do. What are you doing today to keep your mind occupied??

Hannah4850 · 07/04/2024 10:56

JM1997 · 07/04/2024 10:34

@Hannah4850 2 magpies are the best! They are some good symptoms. I know what you mean about distracting yourself though, we had friends over tonight and I did a dinner party for them and it was so nice to just relax my brain for a bit but back to symptom spotting today!! I just want the day I’m due to hurry up so I can see if it comes!! How are you feeling today?? How was the cinema??

Cinema was good almost left halfway through, took an hour for the film to get good 😅 but yeh back to symptom spotting today haha!
Your evening sounds nice and chilled too we need it
