Symptom spotting maniac!

[DayManChampionOfTheSun]

I am a symptom spotting fiend... I know I need to stop but thought I would throw this out there and ask if anyone has had these before.

9dpo had quite strong tight pain in my left lower back area, lasted for about a day.

10dpo lower back ache, not painful as such but noticeable.

11dpo back ache still there, slight and very occasional twinges in boobs and nipples

12dpo(today) back ache still there, nipples quote sensitive and still occasional flashes of aches in sides of boobs

Anyone had these before? Did you get your bfp the month you had this?

Ooh, I'm interested in this too. I have pretty much identical symptoms, I'm 7dpo.

Hi FrancesV83 fingers crossed eh? It's soooo hard all this waiting. I can't afford to keep going through the amount of tests I have been using every month could probably have put 3 children through private school with the amount I have spent on tests over the past 3 years haha so now try and wait until af due. Its just so frustrating lol!

Ha me too. I'm only about 4dpo so too early for symptoms but I know I'll be looking soon. AF tends to come 10dpo for me, so not sure I can ever expect any actual symptoms except for - FX - at some point no AF!

RMarieClaire ahh good luck!! Tbh 10 days is probs quite nice, at least you know sooner iykwim!

My cycles are about 31 days long! Af comes really bloody late lol!

😁
@DayManChampionOfTheSun - oh I know mine are 32! Just a bit of a sprint for the last bit :)

Hahaha yep!

I've just started a bit of very light brown spotting, omg I am getting giddy excited (which I know is really stupid) I just can't help it!

I'm 9dpo and have crampy/twingy feelings on my right side. The same side I know I ovulated from. I'm pretty sure we didn't manage to DTD near enough to ovulation (hubby working away) but I still can't help read into this twinge!!!! TTC is a rough journey!

And early period! Out this month :(

Sorry to hear that @DayManChampionOfTheSun - this is such a hard journey! My bbt chart looks really odd so I'm now thinking I might not have ovulated in any case :(

@Mseddy fingers crossed for you! How do you know which side you ovulated from? I've never felt any ovulation cramps or twinges, but I don't get extreme symptoms for anything so hoping that doesn't mean I've not ovulated yet

Had a BFN today, I'm still convinced I'm pregnant, going to retest next Sunday. Fingers crossed!

Hi all,

Sorry to jump on your thread but I'm so confused and frustrated right now, just wondered if anyone had any advice/similar symptoms?

AF was due on 19th but nothing arrived: had some light cramping for a few days and was a bit weepy.
I'm normally bang on 29 days but right now I'm on day 32!

Then today was woken up with HORRENDOUS cramping which eased with hot water bottle. It then came back and I've had two lots of small bleeds reddish/brown (sorrry if tmi) but only when urinating.
I'm almost certain this is too late for implantation bleeding as is probably just a late period.
Had a BFN on 20th and 21st.

Any advice / comment would be gratefully received!

Hi @Aliceblue22 - I would give it 24 hours. It sounds possible that you could be having cramps and spotting ahead of AF. But it could also be better news. Do you know when you ovulated? If you ovulated late, that would explain late AF?

Hi @RMarieClaire thank you for your comment.
I've been using Ovia and Dot and tracking BBT, and all those pointed to between 2nd and 5th but BBT really isn't clear!
Haven't been using OPK either so it's a bit of a mystery .
Pretty much had ongoing cramps all day now but only a little in the way of bleeding so still very unsure!
Cannot stop crying too 

@rmarieclaire I usually get a twingy cramp on one side around ovulation. That's the only way I know which side :) x

I've been getting really sore boobs the last couple of days lots of discharge, cramping pain yesterday and feeling really neauses yesterday and was completely off my food too. Could this mean I could be pregnant? I've been so obsessive in previous months about trying to get pregnant so this month I've been quite laxed with trying to spot when I ovulate so I'm not entirley sure when I ovulated. I take clomid every month days 2-6 to regulate ovulation last month I had a 40 day cycle with ovulation on day 27. Could anybody shed any light on What they think? I'm on cycle day 36 atm so I am going to try and hold out until day 40 to test but now I feel myself getting slightly obsessed again about symptom spotting.

Sorry to jump on a post that's a couple of days old, wondering how you got on @Mummylaura1988?

AF due on Wednesday for me and I can't stop symptom spotting 😖 xx

@MeghanV07 still haven't come. If my cycle was the same as last month I should have come on on Thursday just gone. But no sore boobs or anything anymore. I did a test last Tuesday which ssid negative however I'm hoping that was just to early but I'm away this week so that if I don't come on by Friday I'll do another test next Saturday so will see what happens there. X

@Mummylaura1988 fingers crossed for you lovely. I just did a test & it was a BFN 🤦🏽‍♀️ xx

I'm hoping to hold out until Friday but I'm starting to get impatient lol x

I wish that your pee would just turn purple or something to say you're pregnant... this peeing on a stick malarkey is rather tedious 😂

@Mummylaura1988 I'm going to try and hold out till Wednesday... doubt I'll last that long 🤦🏽‍♀️ xx

@meghanV07 that would be so much easier wouldn't it?
I have a 6 year old and can't remember the symptoms I had when I found out I was pregnant with her. I am currently on holiday so i don't want to do a test and it be negative and me be disappointed and in a foul mood. Lol fingers crossed for Wednesday for you xx

@Mummylaura1988 Af arrived 👎🏼 fingers crossed for you, hope you're having a lovely time away xx

@MeganV07 sorry to hear about AF arriving. Still nothing for me as of yet. I don't think I'm lucky enough to be pregnant yet but time will tell x

Just done a test and negative. Wish I hadn't have bothered tbh now I feel deflated..AGAIN..
