Anyone else 9DPO?

Hey guys, so I’m 9DPO today and I tested this morning with an IC and got a BFN. We used SMEP (mostly) this month, Preseed during the fertile week and ovulation tests, but I don’t think I’m pregnant. We’ve been trying for almost a year, and it hasn’t worked. Last June, I had a miscarriage after getting pregnant without trying at all. And now it just isn’t working. Oh.. I’ve been taking the Seven Seas trying for a baby pills this month too, even though I’ve forgotten to take them a few times.
I’m 9dpo today, and since this morning I’m getting dull cramps in my abdomen. It isn’t really in my lower abdomen either, although at some times it feels like it is. The cramps are mostly in the middle of my abdomen, just above and around my belly button area. I don’t have any other symptoms, except maybe tiredness. I’m always tired these days really early, but that may be because of how lazy I’ve become in this lockdown lol! I’m really bloated too, but I always become bloated for some reason after ovulation.
Is anyone else 9dpo today?

hi joining in as im going crazy today! 10-12 dpo, only used my garmin watch to track, it said I ovulated Friday but I felt pain similar to what I imagine OV pain is on the Sunday.
Anyway I have no test, not bought any as said I'd wait for AF. But I just want to knoww 🤣 googling everything like crazy!

dreamerkr · 03/06/2020 18:22

@CocoaN don’t stress! I’m feeling the same tbh. My boobs feel a bit less sore today too, and I don’t have any nausea to begin with haha. Hopefully everything is perfectly fine though for both of us! I’ve had cramping again this morning which really worried me, because I was due AF today.

How did you self refer to your local midwife btw? @CocoaN

dreamerkr · 03/06/2020 18:24

@blodyn91 hey! Did you use OPKs this month? And I suggest you wait until the day you’re due AF or the day after, otherwise you’ll end up getting super stressed and going crazy like me! Do you have any symptoms? x

OP posts:
CocoaN · 03/06/2020 19:25

@dreamerkr it’s just so hard not to stress isn’t it?! Same AF like cramping too! But going to try and stay positive 😊 my local hospital lets you self refer through the NHS maternity services website x

dreamerkr · 03/06/2020 19:38

@CocoaN I’m terrified, but I’m trying my best to stay positive too. ☺️ Oh okay! I’ll check if I can self refer too soon! I’m afraid that I’m being too active these days. I work, and it means that I’m on my feet for most of the day, I don’t know if this can be harmful in any way? How active are you these days?

OP posts:
dreamerkr · 03/06/2020 19:38

Did they say anything when you self referred? x

OP posts:
CocoaN · 03/06/2020 19:41

@dreamerkr just a generic auto email saying they will make contact within 5 days x

blodyn91 · 03/06/2020 20:46

@dreamerkr no didn't use OPKs or anything, planning to next cycle if needed. Think I felt ovulation and I definitely had the right CM 😆 no symptoms really, I have tiny boobs so not sure if that will reduce their sensitivity 🙈 I never have any sort of period lain either, sometimes a few cramps on day 1. I think I have this strange feeling in my belly, like very light cramps but then I think im imagining it 😆 peed a lot today, but read thats also a sympton before AF... lile everything else

dreamerkr · 03/06/2020 21:03

@blodyn91 you should test! And let us know how it goes! Before my positive, around 7-8 dpo up till now, I’m peeing a lot everyday. I drink the same amount of water I always do, but I pee all the time. Lol! I think it’s definitely a symptom, it was for me! And the light cramping too! It could be early pregnancy, or PMS. It sucks that the symptoms are identical x

OP posts:
blodyn91 · 03/06/2020 21:54

@dreamer the symptoms are so bloody similar!
I have no tests in the house 🙈 im just so scared of a BFN I would rather see AF I think.....or maybe I sneakily buy a test and surprise OH if its a positive 😏

dreamerkr · 03/06/2020 22:12

@blodyn91 I totally understand, I would rather see AF than a BFN too! But I have no patience, which is why I test SO early. How long have you been trying for? ☺️

@dreamerkr came off the pill in April, had withdrawl bleed and then a 29day cycle, so this is the second cycle. Basically wedding got postponed, so decided we would try for a couple of months, definitely learned a lot on this about tracking etc which I knew nothing about! Ill give July cycle a go as well but then will have to stop till June 2021. How about you?

dreamerkr · 04/06/2020 08:51

@blodyn91 I had a miscarriage a year ago today after getting pregnant without trying. Then we tried on and off for a year but it didn’t happen. I got my very faint positive at 9dpo and a much clearer one at 13dpo, the day before yesterday. I’m super worried though because I’m having light cramping, and also my boobs aren’t as sensitive as they were a few days ago. I keep pinching and poking them lol 🤣

How’s everyone getting along?

OP posts:
CocoaN · 06/06/2020 07:24

@dreamerkr doing okay thanks! Still lots of anxiety, boob and knicker checking! I've stopped testing as well now as kept comparing tests for line progression 🙈 so just trying to relax a bit now and accept what will be will be. How are you? x

dreamerkr · 06/06/2020 09:12

@CocoaN I’m exactly the same! Lol I keep pinching my boobs to check if they’re still slightly sore. They only hurt the tiniest bit now and I’ve heard it’s normal. I also have a lot of clear CM, I keep rushing to check if AF has started! The cramps are slightly less now, but I’m still cramping a bit. I don’t feel pregnant at all because of my lack of symptoms but I’ve heard that this too is normal. I don’t have tiredness, nausea, anything like that.

OP posts:
CocoaN · 06/06/2020 09:33

@dreamerkr I have clear cm too and still slight cramping. Yea same here can't tell if my tiredness is just general laziness 😂 only very mild nausea but not that noticeable. Are you thinking of booking an early scan?

dreamerkr · 06/06/2020 14:05

@CocoaN yesterday I hardly had any cramping but today I do, probably because I’ve been on my feet since early this morning. Yes, I think I want to book an early scan. What about you?

Calmondeck · 06/06/2020 14:19

I'd love to join you all for the next few days of hoping and testing :-) I'm 8dpo and trying very hard not to be consumed with overthinking every twinge in my stomach or tenderness in my breasts. Haha @Whilstwewait I'm laughing that you've got a 20 pack of tests! I'm off to the pharmacy to stock up. I have a 32 day cycle, so AF is still a way off, but I don't think I can wait. I'm even doing ridiculous things like looking up due date calculators. Sending you all positive wishes

Calmondeck · 06/06/2020 14:22

@dreamerkr it's really nice to read that boob soreness is not a constant. I was tender for a few days then today...zilch. Hoping it's normal.

AlisonLew15 · 06/06/2020 14:32

Hi everyone. Jumping on this thread as I'm currently 10DPO, AF due around 15th June although came a few days early last month. Been feeling a bit more tired lately and my nipples have been tender the last few days but apparently can just be hormones. Going to try and wait to test until around AF - don't know if I can do it! Just don't want to be disappointed seeing a negative test xx

CocoaN · 06/06/2020 14:38

Yes I will book one, hoping to hold out until 8 weeks!

AlisonLew15 · 06/06/2020 15:02

How does an early scan work? How soon can you have one? I don't know much about them x

CheeseSammich · 06/06/2020 20:59

I'm around 9dpo today and testing negative on IC. Starting to feel like I'm out already Sad I ordered some frers so will test tomorrow but not feeling as hopeful as I was last week! I've also been having crazy pregnancy dreams though! And had a few mild sharp cramps just under my belly button this morning and some very mild cramping all week. More tired and boobs are sore and big but this happens every month leading up to AF. Hoping it's a good sign though as I don't think I can handle another month ttc xx
