Hello all. I was hoping you could help me please!

This is our 2nd proper month of TTC.
We DTD for every fertile day possible this cycle, once a day.

I am currently 6DPO and want to know if these symptoms mean anything!?
So far:

0-2 DPO. No symptoms
3 DPO. Slight cramps on and off
4 DPO. Cramps on and off. Cervix soft and feels wet inside. Slight white CM.
5 DPO. Cramps. Some white CM stains on knickers (TMI sorry!) Evening left sided cramps
6 DPO. Strong left sided cramps. Almost like a stabbing feeling on and off on the left. Less white CM than yesterday though. Cervix still soft. Negative test today.

I dont know if these mean anything or if these are normal but last month i didnt get any white cm. I am talking here, a little bit (not loads), but a cross between lotiony and toilet tissue papery texture inside.

Anyone ideas??

Thanks in advance Smile xx

@nicnacnew hey! What other symptoms have you spotted!? When you say spotting, was it quite literally spots of blood!? I have heard that this is a very positive sign.xx

Not really noticed anything else, apart from boobs aren't sore like they would normally be before af. Not spots, a bit of light bleeding. So light that you wouldn't even "need" to change pad. Fx its a good sign. X

MrsBlue1986 · 26/04/2020 19:09

@nicnacnew is it your first? Yeh that definitely sounds positive..fingers crossed for you! Let us know x

@MrsBlue1986 I know I've come across so many things I didn't even know about! It's crazy x

nicnacnew · 26/04/2020 21:08

No!! Feels like it though. I have 2 dc aged 12 and 15. So I must be crazy doing it all again. How are you feeling?

MrsBlue1986 · 26/04/2020 21:13

@nicnacnew oh really?!? Haha so you should be the expert in symptom spotting haha.

8dpo, just mainly- cramps constantly for the last few days, nausea, headaches and just feeling tired. But that could just be from not doing much during lockdown haha. CM seems to be mainly watery with the odd bit of white to it. Cervix went firm today after a week of it being soft. Not sure if that means anything 🤣 how about you? X

I had loads of cm, a sharp pain
around implantation and nausea before my period was due. I did have extreme sickness though, twice of three times.

Premenstrual can be so similar to pregnancy though and sadly it's easy to see symptoms of what we want. Hopefully it will be a bfp for you OP.

MrsBlue1986 · 26/04/2020 21:54

@incontinencesucks ahh congrats! Thats great. Perhaps I'm out then if ive not had loads of CM 🙁 just slightly wet really inside... xx

Thanks, i got beautifully sweet dc out of it Smile.

Perhaps I'm out then if ive not had loads of CM

Not necessarily, everyone is different. No one size fits all to pregnancy. I guessed based on symptoms with one pregnancy and got bfp on the day my period was due. The other two were surprise bfps, not because we weren't trying but because until sickness hit i hadn't a clue. My premenstrual symptoms were also lots of cm and ovulation pain.

My friends symptoms were numerous for one pregnancy, for the other she was 15 weeks before realising!

It's so hard when ttc and you really want it.

dee7409 · 26/04/2020 23:22

Hi ladies I am not ttc but for some reason I keep thinking I maybe..I am 45 so was not even thinking about it...ovulated I am sure, but pms sign (sore boobs) is fading...usually last until a day are two before af...DH and I have been very active throughout this lockdown, but something is different this month..any opinion is welcome

Incontinencesucks · 27/04/2020 04:24

Take a test to know for certain if you miss your period or if it's lighter than normal dee7409.

Panda789 · 28/04/2020 13:09

@MrsBlue1986 just wanted to update you, I did a test this morning and look!!! I'm going to test again in a few days for peace of mind. Currently 12dpo xx

Both look positive!! Congrats ladies!!

Yesterdayforgotten · 28/04/2020 14:30

Both look positive and I can see the pink on both! Congratulations girls!! So exciting! x

MrsBlue1986 · 28/04/2020 14:33

Thanks! Although panicking a little as I have in the last few days come down with coronavirus type symptoms. My husband had it last week for sure. im a teacher, so ive managed to get hold of the key worker tests. But im massively panicking thinking the virus can affect potentially pregnant women more!?!?

OP posts:
Panda789 · 28/04/2020 14:42

@Milkshake54 @Yesterdayforgotten Thank you!! I was shaking for soo long haha. So scared I'll test in a few days and it will be gone. I'm not sure if they know how it affects pregnant women, but try not to panic although I know it's better said then done! Get the test done asap xx

@MrsBlue1986 congratulations, I see a line!! 😁

MrsBlue1986 · 28/04/2020 14:47

Thank you @panda789. My husband doesnt believe the test as it is so faint!! 🤣 he says he will believe it when i dont get a period!! Xx

OP posts:
Yesterdayforgotten · 28/04/2020 14:57

@MrsBlue1986 oh no; hope it is just normal cold symtoms as they can be common in early pregnancy. Also you could get the clear blue digital test that tells you the number or weeks. I did that for dh with dc2 as he didn't believe it until saw pregnant 2-3 weeks infront of him!

Panda789 · 28/04/2020 14:59

@MrsBlue1986 well as I've seen people in here day .. a line is a line! DH says when he sees the next test he will be a bit more excited as he's as shocked as me at the moment x

MrsBlue1986 · 28/04/2020 15:02

Haha @panda789 yeah, my husband asked me why i was even testing, he said he thought i was ill haha. Are you in the UK?? X

@Yesterdayforgotten ah i hope so, fingers crossed it goes soon xx

MrsBlue1986 · 28/04/2020 15:21

@panda789 yeah, I am in Hale, Cheshire.

No idea what happens next if it is a definite positive and i miss my period 🤣 who do we tell and when? 🤣 i.e docs x

OP posts:
Panda789 · 28/04/2020 15:36

@MrsBlue1986 oh nice! If my next test still shows up fine, I think the docs tell you that you have to refer yourself online xx
