Driving myself crazy over here and would be great to hear if anyone else in my position?

I know how unlikely it is to get pregnant first go but apparently it's not making the symptom spotting any better!

Probably only 5DPO now so extremely unlikely I would even be getting symptoms yet but I swear I can feel something in usual period pain area this morning, and sore nipples. Anyone else ever felt anything this early or is it biologically impossible & just my crazy brain?

I'm 26 (nearly 27)
TTC baby no 1
Cycle no 1
CD 19
AF due 23/04

My body was so super sensitive to pills I came off it as soon as it would have been 'ok' to get pregnant so been off for about 1.5-2 years and just used condoms since then. Been dreaming of babies all year and reading up all things fertility so in some ways feels like I've been trying for longer. This time I think I caught LH surge, ddt straight away and think I ovulated next day.

OH and I had the MOST VIVID DREAM last night that I got a BFP. I can picture the two lines from it so clearly it's really weird. Haven't had a dream that vivid in a long time. Only just remembered it because I googled early preg symptoms 🙈

@waitingforbubbles feeling light headed is very good sign. Good luck for friday girls.

ShortandStout1 · 18/04/2018 09:03

I'm out AF reared he ugly head this morning a week early. Again good luck hope you get bfp on friday @slou14 @waitingforbubbles

waitingforbubbles · 18/04/2018 12:08

Oh no @ShortandStout1 sorry to hear that but fingers crossed for next month. ❤️ xx

Oh no @ShortandStout1 ☹️ so sorry to hear. Is it deff AF or could it be implantation bleeding? FX for you next month xxx

waitingforbubbles · 18/04/2018 13:50

Oh that's a good point @Slou14 - it would be the right time for implantation bleeding @ShortandStout1 - maybe wait and see if it gets much heavier and if not test xx

OP posts:
ShortandStout1 · 18/04/2018 14:39

It has lightened up this afternoon but I'm not keeping my hopes up

ShortandStout1 · 19/04/2018 08:37

@slou14 @waitingforbubbles most definitely a period. I knew the chances were low to get pregnant first cycle were low but I'm still very disappointed.

waitingforbubbles · 19/04/2018 10:07

Sorry @ShortandStout1 😥. I have actually had slightly stronger cramps today which is making me worrying that my AF is on the way too. We'll see I guess, if so I'll be with you next month!!! X

OP posts:
ShortandStout1 · 19/04/2018 12:59

@waitingforbubbles I hope it's related to implantation

Slou14 · 19/04/2018 17:44

Aw so sorry @ShortandStout1 🙁 is it unusual for AF to come a week early? I'm feeling less and less confident as each day goes on. I feel like AF is imminent but we'll see...

ShortandStout1 · 19/04/2018 17:49

@Slou14 Due to coming off the depo 11 months ago my cycles have ranged from 14 to 28 days so not a total surprise

waitingforbubbles · 19/04/2018 17:58

@Slou14 I'm feeling much less confident now too! When are you going to test? X

OP posts:
Slou14 · 20/04/2018 06:32

I couldn't do it this morning! I just can't face seeing a BFN!! I want another day of feeling hopeful. Did you test @waitingforbubbles ?? Xx

waitingforbubbles · 20/04/2018 08:19

@Slou14 very sensible- I tested using a cheap test (but still quite sensitive - detects 10mg Of HCG) and got BFN. So disappointing but still have a tiny bit of hope! I'm going to try and not test until Monday now, or maybe even see if AF turns up. X

OP posts:
Slou14 · 20/04/2018 18:33

You're not out yet @waitingforbubbles!! I tell myself the same over and over but I'm almost certain AF is on her way. I usually start spotting two days before AF so I'll know more tomorrow. If spotting starts, AF will be with me on Monday!

Part of me wants to test but as this is my first cycle trying, I don't want to start getting into the habits of testing early month after month. As much as the wait is killing me, I think I want to hold off and wait and see until Monday.

How are you both today? AF being kind @ShortandStout1? Any developments with you @waitingforbubbles ? Xx

waitingforbubbles · 20/04/2018 18:55

You are being so sensible @Slou14 - I am super impressed!

I have a slight development- I had a compulsion to take a test around 4pm with a FRER and got what I think might be the faintest line EVER, if I'm not totally imagining it!

What do you think ?! @ShortandStout1 @Slou14 xx

Anyone else in their first (or one of first) TTW?
OP posts:
ShortandStout1 · 20/04/2018 19:03

Looks positive @waitingforbubbles congratulations but I'd test again with fmu.

@Slou14 it has been lightests period ever for me but too heavy to be implantation sigh

Slou14 · 20/04/2018 20:40

I don't think you're imagining it all!!!!!!!! That's a line!!! Congratulations @waitingforbubbles!! I agree with @ShortandStout1, take another tomorrow morning? Might be worth getting doing a clearblue digi too?? Keep us updated 👍🏼 xx

ShortandStout1 · 20/04/2018 21:35

@Slou14 Can't test until Monday because staying at in laws until Sunday night and they don't we are trying

waitingforbubbles · 21/04/2018 15:01

@ShortandStout1 @Slou14 so it's quite a bit darker today :)

Picked up a Clearblue digi which I'll do on Monday. Want a night off testing because I haven't been sleeping properly!

How are you both feeling today ?

Xx

OP posts:
ShortandStout1 · 21/04/2018 16:02

@waitingforbubbles Been feeling nauseous all day not sure if it has anything to do with anything

waitingforbubbles · 21/04/2018 16:04

@ShortandStout1 I am still hopeful for you!! Lots of people mistake implantation bleeding for a period!!

When could you test?? X

OP posts:
ShortandStout1 · 21/04/2018 16:12

@waitingforbubbles I'm not hopeful can't test until Monday because staying at in laws and they don't know we are trying

Slou14 · 21/04/2018 19:25

Great news @waitingforbubbles! Keep us updated!

As expected, I've had some spotting today so I'm 99.9% sure I'm out. I don't think it's implantation bleeding as I usually have 2 days of spotting before AF so I think she's on her way 🙁.

Surprisingly I feel ok about the whole thing and have already accepted that this isn't my month. I've started reading woman code so in the meantime I'm just focussing on getting as healthy as I can (although I'm currently enjoying a G&T in the sunshine😂).

Keep us updated both! I'm going to hang around on MN so let me know what goes on with you both. I look forward to seeing how you get on! Xxx
