Calling all symptom spotters

I’m currently 8dpo and I think I’m pregnant. Obviously too early to do a test yeah I did one any way and it was bfn so just symptom spotting til bfp or af turns up.

I had an early miscarriage at five weeks last month. I wasn’t going to do and opks this month but did one anyway positive opk on cd14 and cd16 negative on cd17.
But basically I’m having the same symptoms as last month. Some slight abdominal pain, some indigestion, really dry cracked lips, really emotional, really strange smell to my urine. All of which I had last month just before or around my bfp. Insomnia too, but I do work shifts so this could explain that. I just feel pregnant.
Anyone want to keep me company while we wait the week out?

bfp congratulations

pasbeaucoupdegendarme · 15/02/2018 09:54

I thought negative... but then I looked a bit further up the window and I think there’s a hint of a line! Tentative congratulations!

Yeah same pasbeau
To be honest, until I see it getting darker over the next few days I’m not going to believe it. Not after last month. I wasn’t going to use the frer this morning was going to wait til tomorrow. The cheapie underneath has maybe a shadow of a line (but could be imagining it) and it doesn’t show on the photo at all. I did that one first then decided I’d just do frer.
My symptoms have kind of gone now. I’m a bit gassy (TMI!) and I feel shattered but not very much else. Let’s see what the next few days bring

Omg!! Definitely a line. Wait a couple days and test again. I had a possible shadow on mine but my frer didn't have as obvious a line. Frer was a possible shadow too. But not getting my hopes up.

Fingers crossed for you then cake when are you planning to retest?

OP posts:
pasbeaucoupdegendarme · 15/02/2018 10:21

I tested at 5.30am (!) and negative as predicted but it’s too early. Wishful thinking on my part! Will try again at the weekend.

Aventurescence · 15/02/2018 11:15

Some promising signs by the looks of it! Fingers crossed for all.

Had a disappointing BFN yesterday morning on a CB digital - probably too early to test on 10dpo. Followed by an epically terrible work day and start of some bleeding - but light and alternating brown with dark red, sort of like implantation bleeding but not sure. Some symptoms faded as well, boobs not sore anymore. Going to try to resist testing today I think (no point unless it's FMU right?), getting the BFN yesterday made me more upset that I expected and think I need to chill out a bit more! AF due Sunday, if what's happening now isn't an early showing!

winterwarmers · 15/02/2018 11:33

think i got a bfn again :( didn’t want to waste the frer this morning so if no af and temps stay high tomorrow will test and then i have another for saturday is af doesn’t show

Mama87 · 15/02/2018 13:11

Can i join in please ladies? So i am on CD27 - 8dpo and AF is due monday or tuesday ( all info from app) i have tested todat and got a BFN, symptoms since CD19 are ache in lower back, ache in left low down area everyday. Headaches for around 4/5 days straight and 1 weepy day. Today is another weepy day as i feel its not worked again Sad

Cakelaur · 15/02/2018 13:14

Well I just spent all morning crying to my best mate about how I was never gonna get a bfp again. Whilst holding her beautiful new born bub. Emotional wreck right now.

It’s still only early days for all of us yet.
winter your temps look promising so frer tomorrow will hopefully give bfp, I’m keeping everything crossed for you

aventure hope you’re ok. This ttc is shit especially seeing BFNs. But hoping for a bfp tomorrow for you.

mama welcome! 8dpo is still early days a bfn now doesn’t rule you out at all.
Fingers crossed for everyone.

Oh no cake I hope you’re ok. There’s nothing to say you won’t get a bfp. It’s so heartbreaking this ttc. It does take it’s toll emotionally, look after yourself Flowers and fingers crossed for a weekend full of bfps

I just did another cheapie test and there’s a stronger line. Still hardly there, but darker than this morning. Not bad considering only 10dpo and not FMU. I’m keeping everything crossed this one sticks.

“Something” is definitely going on here but I’ve no idea whether it’s the right thing! Nauseous, strange heavy bloated feeling, lethargic, tingly boobs.

Dd (5) has just been talking about how much she wishes she could have a baby sister. I hope that’s a good omen! When I was pg with her little brother I had no idea I was pg until one night when I had terrible cramps and a lot of blood loss which was quite scary. Whizzed off to ooh where they did a test and said I had been pg but they assumed I’d miscarried. Had to go for blood tests the next day and it was 10 days before I could get a scan, during which time dd who was then 2 said totally randomly one day, “There’s a baby in there.” I remember my dh and I were Shock but it was strangely reassuring. Turned out of course there was a baby at 6 weeks gestation with a nice heartbeat!

Redrosebelle · 15/02/2018 19:24

I feel strange. I’d swear I was pregnant - I have the exact same achy legs and upset tummy feeling I had first time round. I tested today 11dpo with a 2.5 hr hold on a 25iu test and it was bfn. I also stood up and felt a massive gush between my legs Blush I’m normally quite dry before af. Due af Sunday or Monday. Not sure when to test again!

pasbeau that’s so strange! Sounds scary to have experienced that. Hopefully that’s a good omen then for this cycle! Psychic children! Grin

redrose could you test with a frer tomorrow or Saturday? They are much lower than 25iu so hopefully see a bfp sooner?

OP posts:
Redrosebelle · 15/02/2018 20:27

I don’t have any frers only Sainsbury’s own! And they’re blue dye tests.. I don’t want to get my hopes up as I did this every month with my little boy and it took 11 cycles!! This is only cycle 6 so I’m holding out for a long wait...

Mama87 · 15/02/2018 20:45

Ok so don't want to get too excited but did anothe ic test this afternoon and there was a VERY faint line, even DH could see it!

Seeinglines · 15/02/2018 20:55

mama that’s great news! A line is a line! Are you going to retest tomorrow? I already can’t wait for the morning to retest!
redrose there’s still hope yet, might just take a bit longer to get a bfp on those tests, but if it’s there it’s there.
Good luck everyone!

hcbaggs · 15/02/2018 20:57

I've got everything crossed for you @Mama87 Grin When are you going to retest?

Mama87 · 15/02/2018 21:01

Thankyou @hcbaggs and @Seeinglines i have everything crossed but feeling hopeful especially seen as dh saw it too. Will re-test in the morning Grin

hcbaggs · 15/02/2018 21:06

Keep us updated @Mama87 Grin
I'm still just about putting off temptation to POAS until Sunday! Plus DH wants to be there when I do and he doesn't get back from some time away working until late Saturday. I think that's the only thing that's keeping me away from the packets! I should have got him to hide them before he left Wink
Still having small amounts of brown CM today, stomach cramping and some other mild symptoms but don't "feel pregnant" so much any more, just terribly constipated and full of trapped wind (which I would get the week before AF is due anyway Sad). Fingers crossed I'm still in the running but only time will tell!
How is everyone else doing?

Cakelaur · 15/02/2018 21:21

After my pretty definite bfn I stared at it all day and finally decided to poas ic one after not holding at all. And of course another bfn. Defo losing my mind! But hey ho. Tiny bit of spotting today when wiping but I did have this with my bfp.
