Im 7 dpo - trying for third baby - this will be my 7th pregnancy or 8th if I count the chemical pregnancy I had cycle 1.

currently on cycle 3….
6/7 dpo - tracked by ovulation tests.

As I’ve been pregnant quite a few times I feel like I’m quite good at noting the signs but feel im going crazy. Last month I had minimal symptoms and knew I wasn’t PG.
still did a test as read minimal symptoms can mean pg.

This month tho for last few days I’ve had so many symptoms 🤞🤞

  • sore painful boobs - they feel hot to touch, so are sore when bra touches them. Feel occasional shooting pains through them. Boob pain has got worse over last few days. Feel almost sunburnt in my bra very sensitive
  • Today at 7dpo feel like I’m getting a UTI - due to frequent urination
  • vivid dreams since ovulation
  • did a test BFN

anyone want to join me in the wait and compare symptoms?

two week wait is so long 🥲 I’m going to try not to test now till 10dpo. I have a regular 28 day cycle.

Ahhhh amazing!! Let me know when you’ve done digital. Have you told your partner? I had a first response laying around so did if to see if it was darker..which it was. Now just to try relax a little and try not test every day for line progression 🥲🫠 I thought once I got a positive I’d chill out with the tests but nope 🤣. Was never like this before my miscarriage. I actually went travelling and was on speed boats, eating sushi all sorts I was so chill in pregnancies before my miscarriage. This time I darent even get a hot bath 🤣

That's a strong positive I would say! I've done my digital on my Clearblue monitor and it was a 'pregnant'. I've told my partner and my mum and dad who are visiting. That's me stopping the testing now :) And will get in touch with GP in the following days to book an appointment for 8 weeks

Ah amazing! Congrats on your positive. Do you still have cramps? I have period style cramps today and back pain…literally feels like period is about to start but tests still all say positive.

I will deffo go for an early scan…luckily we are very busy next few weeks going on a long haul holiday and moving house the day we get back 🤣👀 so that will take me to 7 weeks. So I’m going to go for a scan then at my local EPU. If they won’t let me then I’ll pay private. After that I’m going to go for a private 10 week scan if everything is ok. I feel like I’m just going to be anxious now until baby is alot bigger 😭

I still do have period-like cramps and lower back aches like AF is coming, plus bloating. Will take a digital test tomorrow for confirmation. Oh wow, you have lots going on! Hope you have a good holiday and moving house goes smoothly. I'll try and wait till the 12-week NHS scan unless I bleed like my first pregnancy.

Hi, is this a line or an evap? Planning on taking a digital tomorrow

Ah fingers crossed. You have so much will power to hold out! What cycle TTC are you on? I’ve had another positive today. It’s a bit darker. Got some digitals coming later. Just need to see it get darker so it’s not another chemical pregnancy 🤞 crazy as you want to get excited but with past miscarriages and chemicals I know I won’t be reassured till I get to 12 weeks 🫠 it’s going to be a long two months…..

I’m on cycle 5. I just don’t want to wreck my anxiety if I get a BFN and start wondering if I tested too early or if it’s a true positive so holding out for now! Either AF comes or I’ll test when I’m a couple days late. But with the cramping I’m experiencing, I think AF is on its way. Are you able to get an early scan due to your past miscarriages?

These symptoms sounds so much like mine! I don't know what to expect as ttc for #1. This is our 2nd cycle trying and I'm 10DPO (AF due in 4 days).
I am convinced I implanted on 6DPO as on that day and since I've had:

  • really heavy sore boobs
  • constant mild headache
  • so much white cm
  • stuffy nose
  • increased appetite
  • mild cramping
  • Felt like I had a UTI coming on from 8DPO bc needed to pee constantly

Feels diff to my usual PMS symptoms so fingers crossed. Also feels weird to have had these symptoms for over a week before AF due?

Edited

Have you tested yet? I bought clear blue ultra early digital and first response and got my 9/10dpo bfp today. 100% reccomend those tests. I used the digital to confirm all my pregnancies, just beware of any cheap tests / clear blue none digital they can give bad evap lines. Also had an evap on sainsburies red dye.

Hey everyone just thought I’d update….so clearly my symptoms were pregnancy related. I did think it was…as I always get bad nightmares etc, and vv sore boobs when pregnant…not getting excited tho until we’ve had scans due to previous miscarriages but relieved I’m not going mad. 🤣🥹 9 dpo today…..did these tests just after lunch…fingers crossed for a sticky bubba 🤍🤞

Ahhh fingers crossed. My partner had a go at me and told me to stop testing. Did this the month before last and it was a chemical and he said I should wait till after my period to ward off any false hope with early faint positives 👀🫣 it’s like an addiction tho hahah. So hard to wait and test.

when is everyone else testing? This was mine from tonight…..feel the line is a little darker.

I’m potentially loosing the plot…but I am convinced I can see the faintest faintest faintest line on this one. The others are all stark white…..🧐

I'm going to test tomorrow because I can't wait any longer 😂 I have 2 tests so I'll test 9dpo and 11dpo then give up. I swore I wasn't going to test this time eurghhh

🫣🤣 I said the same, I’ve so far done another test today - been up all night with teething toddler and up for ‘the day’ since 0445 so I caved this morning 🤣 8/9 dpo and obvs stark negative. Why can I not hold out? I conceived instantly with my other 2 but I’m past the ‘prime fertile age’ threshold now so this is all new for me. I’m hoping if I’m not pregnant this month I’ll chill out a bit as I’ll know my ‘symptoms’ are just hormonal. Went for accupunctire yesterday.

The woman said my feet were freezing and I need to stay warm particularly my feet while TTC as in Chinese medicine cold feet = cold uterus………

Hi everyone can I join? I’m 6dpo, tracked using OPKs. I’ve been crazy tired today and had a few sharp pains on the left side, stuffy/runny nose and headaches that come and go. This would be my 5th dc but 6th pregnancy as I have previously been a surrogate :)

Hiya, I'm 6dpo, was having some cramps on my lower left side a few days ago but seemed to have lessened now.. also getting spots on my chin area which is unusual for me. Other than that no white cm, no other symptoms so who knows
2ww is so hard and long!
