Anybody Wanna Cry with Me? 7DPO

60 replies

LosingtheTTCplot · 18/12/2019 15:50

No reason for crying just feeling super emotional! 😭

7DPO, tested but BFN as expected. Feeling bloated like I have a balloon in my tummy, exhausted, sore boobs and really struggling with smells today. Worst bit is feeling like I could burst into tears.

I know this possibly isn’t pg symptoms but probably PMS, AF not due until Christmas Day either.

Sorry needed to rant. Anyone else feeling the same?!

I want to join you as my AF due Xmas day too! I'm holding off testing until Boxing Day as I'm not regular so wouldn't be bang on Xmas day anyway. My app says I'm 7dpo too. I feel so emotional today but to be fair I didn't sleep a wink so could be tiredness. Chin up love x

Newbie1981 · 18/12/2019 16:18

How long have you been trying?

Bbutterfly · 18/12/2019 16:20

Hey, thought I'd join. I feel like a bloated fat lump and all I've done is eat crap making me feel worse.
I'm 12dpo got a bfn this morning and feel like I'm out this month. Af due Saturday. Wish I never tested because then I feel like it's too early and want to test again. Spent money on clearblue then see people saying not reliable then spend more money of frer then see more reviews of false positives.
hope you are ok, you still have plenty of time to check so try and be patient. Xx

LosingtheTTCplot · 18/12/2019 16:34

Aww ladies.

@Newbie1981 this is cycle #7, had 3 chemicals and an evil false positive in that time. Just turned 35. You?

I think I just feel down and teary because I feel tired. Never normally tired. Still plenty of time to get that BFP but not holding out much hope. I wish I could hold off testing until after Christmas but know she/AF will arrive bang on Christmas Day and I’m not even in my own home over Christmas so can’t feel comfortable and wallow in PJs and cry! Lol.

@Bbutterfly there’s lines, indents, evaps on loads of different tests at the moment. I’m not sure which one to use TBH. Got 2 x FRERs left and about 4 x ICs left. Remember implantation normally happens between 6-12 DPO and if your HCG is at 1 before implantation it won’t show for another few days at least!

Xx

@LosingtheTTCplot def still time. Everything crossed for you! I'm on cycle 6. Only just starting to get me down but worried after a MMC. It's so hard isn't it

Newbie1981 · 18/12/2019 17:06

@Bbutterfly I always test too soon then do again, then it's double disappointment isn't it! Well just think of the wine you can have at Christmas then start again! :-)

BBLibra · 18/12/2019 17:09

@LosingtheTTCplot @Bbutterfly Hello, I definitely hear you! I’m 9dpo (I think), AF due 23rd/24th - my cycles are irregular so lots of guesswork! Did a FRER tonight stupidly which was unsurprisingly BFN. Now I can’t decide whether to do a FMU tomorrow or not... Finding it so impossible to not test how, especially as both FRER and CB say test 5 days before AF due! Confused Definitely feeling out of sorts this month so I thought I could well be PG but now I’m doubting everything...!

HalfPenny28 · 18/12/2019 18:22

I'll join you! Just started the tww for the 3rd time and already dreading getting a bfn this month. Af is due 30th dec and I'll be in Paris so preparing to be a grumpy mare on the last day if af arrives or I get a bfn!

Thefaceofboe · 18/12/2019 18:36

Hi. I’m 9DPO and due on my period Christmas Eve. What a way to either ruin or make my Christmas Grin

Makeafamily19 · 18/12/2019 19:09

Feeling the same tbh and also cycle 7, 9DPO today. AF due Xmas Eve. I just wish my stupid brain would switch off. Have zero symptoms but then every month I think I've had loads it's been negative so means nothing anyway!

Ginge35 · 18/12/2019 19:33

I’m brand new to this site, so all these abbreviations, I’m seriously struggling to understand what everyone is saying!
If 7DPO is 7 days post ovulation then I’m the same. Period due Christmas Day!
I’m having waves of nausea and stomach cramps but I’m taking it with a pinch of salt as apparently no one gets symptoms this early as I may not (if I’ve conceived) have implanted yet
This is our first time trying. Never been pregnant before so whilst I paid attention in sex Ed this is a whole other ball game! Just feel helpless! Anyone else feel the same? 😭😭😭

Makeafamily19 · 18/12/2019 19:56

Hi @Ginge35 yes DPO is days past ovulation.
AF - Aunt Flo/ period
DTD - did the deed/ sex
DH/ DP - darling husband / partner
OPK - ovulation prediction kit/ sticks
POAS - pee on a stick/ pregnancy test

can't think of any others right now 🤣

Ginge35 · 18/12/2019 20:03

Thank you @Makeafamily19 much appreciated for educating me! 👍🏻

ChampooPapi · 18/12/2019 20:22

Im due on boxing day or beyond and feeling pathetic today. I felt the tears pricking at my eyes and pretty much every conceivable moment today!

LosingtheTTCplot · 18/12/2019 20:56

Welcome all! hugs the group

I just cried at the pandora advert then at Edgar blowing Fire on the pudding! Oooft I’m never teary.

@ChampooPapi I feel like that. Cuddles granted xx

ChampooPapi · 18/12/2019 21:13

I too wept at that Pandora advert this afternoon, it's a large part of what has made me seek help here! Id never normally cry at such trinkets !

LosingtheTTCplot · 18/12/2019 21:25

I hate ICs yet love them! I love that they are cheap and you can test as many times as you like but I hate that you get a sliver of a line and then obsess over it knowing full well that it’s too early for a line.

And then you cry because you promised you wouldn’t test early and here you are 7DPO testing, squinting and tweaking again! But you also cry because you want it sooooo much to be a positive!

Anybody Wanna Cry with Me? 7DPO

I’m such a loser! Hubby is in bed and my lack of patience got the getter of me and I took a test! Big fat no!! It has only been 7 days, so I’m still hopeful, but not gonna lie I regret taking the damn thing now as now I’m really bummed out! 😭😭😭😭

LosingtheTTCplot · 18/12/2019 21:43

@Ginge35 big hugs

OP posts:
Ginge35 · 18/12/2019 21:46

Thank you @LosingtheTTCplot big hugs to you too! Here’s to hopefully missing our periods next week!!! 🤞🤞🤞😂😂😂

LosingtheTTCplot · 18/12/2019 21:49

And to not drinking over Christmas and New Years!

ceebee21 · 18/12/2019 22:04

I'll join, um only 4dpo, but AF due xmas day as shorter LP.

I feel so bloated, although that's probably due to the amount of crap I have eaten!!

I'm pretty busy from Friday onwards, so just getting to the weekend and can focus on the festivities xx

LosingtheTTCplot · 18/12/2019 22:10

Welcome @ceebee21 - How long have you been trying?

So many things to be busy with over the next week, would love to have a BFP for Christmas Day though

OP posts:
ceebee21 · 18/12/2019 22:20

@LosingtheTTCplot We started in August and fell straight away, ended up in a dragged out MMC in October. This is my second proper cycle after that experience, but literally feels like a lifetime.

It really would, keeping everything crossed for that.

How long have you been trying xx

LosingtheTTCplot · 18/12/2019 22:28

@ceebee21 sorry to hear of your mmc

This will be cycle 7, had 3 chemicals and then a positive digi cycle 5 which was a false positive. Didn’t do the deed as thought was pregnant and missed ovulation cycle 6!

I have short cycles with a short follicular bit and ovulate CD11. Trying to work on that at the moment!
