9 days before period ? Symptoms

[Superstar41]

Hey guys

My partner and I had unprotected sex last Saturday, today I’ve had cramping (not like period pain) sort of twitching and a dull ache! Also feel shattered and urinating frequently! Is 7 days after sex (was my ovulation date last Saturday) 9 days before period too soon?

Hi! I'm exactly the same. Ovulated Saturday/Sunday. It's so annoying. I've had cramps in my left ovaries the past few days and just cramps overall. I think it may be my mind tricking me though do you think you might be experiencing implantation?

@heretobeanonymous oh bless you! how longs your cycle typically? I don’t know , I hope so but I’m thinking my mind might be tricking me as you said !! do you have any other symptoms ? X

My cycles are normally between 27-28days. The 2WW is killing me, I have to keep telling myself to not test! Have you tried to test? I think I will try around Wednesday to Friday as AF is due on the 17th or 18th! Eeeek fingers crossed for us

@heretobeanonymous mine are exactly the same !! haha no I haven’t tried to test yet I’m due on the 18th - is it ever possible to have the symptoms we’re experiencing this soon? I ovulated last Saturday when we had sex so It conception were to happen it would’ve then? you finding yourself urinating more ??

I think it is possible but very rare, that's why I try to tell myself that it's my mind tricking me into something that isn't real! Yes i believe it would've happened then or just after. No, no other symptoms other than cramps/pains and slightly tender breasts. Were you trying or was it just a 'if it happens, it happens' kind of approach? x

Oh I see maybe my minds playing tricks on me too but I’m having a small drink and going for a wee every 20 minutes and it’s a proper wee it’s not like nothing comes out so not sure I am convincing myself ! My breasts aren’t tender however they’re implants due to a condition I had growing up so think it might effect me differently? yes just a “if it happens, it happens” approach now we’re in the right place to have a baby but not actively trying! How about you? X

Hi hope ok to jump on! I ovulated last Friday so now 8 days post ovulation and also feel a bit crampy and needing to urinate a lot. As well as this am feeling a bit cranky today so don't know if pmt or something else? Due on next Friday 15th; going to try resisting doing a pregnancy test til Tuesday when will be 11 days po as last time was pregnant this was earliest got a positive result! Are you going to use one of the first response tests? I'm thinking will order some from Amazon x

Hiii @Marrilou please don’t apologise, the more the merrier :) oh my goodness me too I’ve been such a miserable person the last week crying at everything forgot to mention that part!! Are you actively trying? yes I will use first response x

Yes actively ttc, have a baby but it took a year to conceive him and am 38. Would love him to have a sibling close in age! Have been using Clear Blue ovulation sticks so know for sure when I ovulate. Had forgotten how hard this 2WW business is!! Had some pink discharge 4 days po (sorry for tmi) but not sure why? Tried googling but said too early for implantation bleeding which was disappointed about. Apparently implantation would likely be happening now so was cheered to feel a bit of cramping. So hard not to over read symptoms isn't it! X

Hello ladies, I’m hoping to jump on as I’m currently 9DPO and my AF is due Friday 15th! This is my first attempt so I’m not holding much hope as to be honest I really didn’t understand how this works at first 😂 I have no idea which test to use when it comes to it and is it best to test after AF is due? X

@Marrilou ahh bless you! Sending you baby dust! Wonder if the pink discharge was just left over period blood though that would be dark black colour ? very strange ! you never know maybe you implanted very quickly and it was implantation bleeding? this is the first month we’ve stopped using protection but not actively trying and I’m so nervous ! What were your symptoms like with baby no 1 ?

@J0DI3 ah bless you! Our first attempt too really without protection ! It’s all very scary! I would say I’ve read First Response Early Response is the best test! I think it’s best to test after missed period ? X

Well funny thing is am still waiting for period to return after giving birth so can't really be leftover blood otherwise would think so too! With son I really thought was about to come on as had usual symptoms of cramps and hormonal skin but then got really emotional over something small and thought to do a test, it was negative 10 days po but tried again the following day and it was positive which was over the moon about. Fingers crossed this is our month for all of us! X

@J0DI3 if you can wait til AF due it's preferable as more likely to be accurate. I can never wait that long though! X

I think I will try to wait but I’m not going to beat myself up if I cave! I’m just hoping things are happening down there. X

Oh I see !! Blimey, I hear it’s much easier to fall pregnant after giving birth?? Fingers crossed for you! I’ve been vile for the past week crying over photos of babies the lot so somethings not right , I’ve never done that before and felt so desperate for a child it’s strange for me! Would you say now is too soon for symptoms to show then? Frequent urination etc ?

Yeah I read that too so hoping to take advantage of extra fertile window while it lasts!! Last time I started feeling crampy/hormonal about a week po so based on my experience I wouldn't say it's too way for you to be experiencing symptoms. However I really thought I was out as often felt that way when was about to come on - it's so annoying that the symptoms are so similar! The only difference for me was crying when goldfish died which def wouldn't have normally done - that's what alerted me really! X

Haha fingers crossed for you lovely! Keep us updated ?? A week PO ok that’s about where I am now so not too strange then ! aha bless you, I’m hoping my few days of being an emotional wreck could mean something as I only get emotional the week of my period not before ! So rather odd x

Thank you! The time just drags doesn't it, so frustrating! Going to try and wait til Tuesday to do a test but may well cave and do one Monday which would be 10dpo. Will let you know how get on! Sending you lots of baby dust xx

It does! I’m trying to wait too as a few days too early to test xx I will also update x

Yes will eagerly await to hear! X

So did an internet cheapie test this morning, not even a hint of a line though know it's a bit early, will try with a first response test tomorrow. How are you doing @Superstar41? Any more symptoms? X

@Marrilou hiya ah that's ok thought how many days dpo! Probably too early :)

Just keep having twitching and dull aches as well as my areolas look bigger is that a symptom??

Trying to wait to see if AF comes before testing but feel like the dull ache would've gone by now if it was implantation :(

Yeah think that is a symptom though don't recall noticing it myself!
I'm only 10dpo today so will be more accurate tomorrow. However have been reading that a lot of people think SecondMU better to test with than FMU so now not sure which to use?! What do you think? X

@Marrilou oh gosh I hope so I don't feel very confident any more feel deflated !

I'm also 10dpo tomorrow , when is AF due ?

I have always heard and been told FMU but I've read that too! Maybe tomorrow test FMU and next day SMU to see ? :) x

Yeah know how you feel, think closer it gets to coming on, more despondent I feel, as if mentally bracing myself for the disappointment. Am due on on Friday, what about you? Yeah think will do that with the testing, seem to remember got first positive when tested after work last time so maybe can be better later in the day! X
