9 days before period ? Symptoms

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?

@Marrilou I feel exactly the same ! Hard to stay positive isn't it ! one thing I have noticed is (TMI ) sorry - on the toilet a lot ? I feel like if I was pregnant I would be constipated ?

Ooh okay not long then! I have to wait until next Monday :( is this baby #1 you're trying for ?

@Superstar41 I don't want to get your hopes up, but just wanted to say it is possible to have symptoms that early, I had cramps and nausea exactly a week after when I think conception must have been, and then a few days later CB digital showed 1-2. I had assumed AF was on the way, it was like period cramps but very intermittent, maybe every couple of hours. Fingers crossed for you!

@sachaf08 thank you so much for replying :) that's what I am having cramps every few hours randomly and still 7 days until AF due ! I won't get my hopes up but I hope it's true :) we will see x

@Superstar41 no problem, I was pretty confused because I never have cramps quite so early before a period, usually only 1-3 days before. I'm still only 4+2 so I'm right at the start of all this! Confused keeping everything crossed for you, will check back in to see how you're doing xx

@sachaf08 I don't either !! I keep having a weird cramp on my lower right hand side like it's being tugged at ! Very strange not had it before !! Good luck love, hope everything goes perfect! How are you finding it with the current situation? Have you booked in with a doctor yet ? X

@Superstar41 Thank you- I'm alright, it's all a bit scary not knowing how restrictions will evolve with the virus etc but guess we all just need to go with the flow. Also we live in a 1 bed flat at the moment, no children allowed so hoping it'll be possible to move in a few months! I'm a classical singer/singing teacher so all my work is from home at the moment anyway(what little there is of it!)

I had a phone appointment this morning, the doc was v reassuring and told me to book in with a midwife for around the 9 week mark. Just need to get there now!

Yes mine was sort of middle right as well, not sure if that means the egg has come from right ovary? See how it progresses and try to stay calm in the run up to AF date! It seems like there can be so many symptoms and nothing is ever consistent/the same as what someone else has experienced. Have you got any tests ready?

@sachaf08 ah bless you! Surely someone can't say to you that you cannot have a child there especially if the circumstances don't change? I think that's terrible ! at the end of the day what's a baby going to do to a house ?!

Ah, it will be fine :) I'm sure x

That's what I've got ! How long does implantation take as I've had this feeling for 2-3 days!
I don't have any tests ready yet , I will order some:)

@Marrilou how many dpo are you ? Not out until AF turns up! I will do :) trying to hang on as long as possible without testing! I don't have any in the house and am scared to go out at the minute so trying to stop myself! Feel very sick this morning don't fancy anyrhing to eat! But I don't feel very positive x

Was 11dpo yesterday which know is early but that is when I got my bfp last time. If AF doesn't arrive on Friday will test again but reckon she will. Fingers crossed next cycle will be the one. Good plan to leave testing as long as possible! Are you going to order some online? X

Well AF arrived yesterday, feel ok about it as at least means cycles are back on track, just hope next month it happens! Have just read sperm meets egg plan which was free to download on Amazon, was a quick read (finished before got out of bath!), am going to adopt this approach next month so fingers crossed! How are you feeling now? X
