9dpo tight tummy.... buddy up?

[charlsains]

My tummy feels like i have done 100 sit ups today. Neg test but still early. Little back ache but sorta normal for me away from cycles.
Anyone else 9dpo?

Think I am around 9/10dpo as well and I got a bfn yesterday. I’ve been more impatient this month because I ovulated late so should be due af by now but instead I have a long cycle. I was getting some unusual symptoms too...very bloated, lower back ache and minor cramps which are all unusual for me but all seems to have stopped now so I’m preparing for af to arrive mid week.

I'm the same 9/10 dpo. Fingers crossed for everyone.

Heyyyy!!
Yeah fingers crossed deffo! I still have a tight belly! If im out im out im used to it by now 😂

Think I’m 8 dpo (not actually sure when I ovulated), not feeling any symptoms at all, and had lots of symptoms with DD at this point, so not getting my hopes up.

Fingers crossed for us all!

@YakkityYakYakYak I'm 9dpo today so in line with you!
Trying to resist the urge to symptom spot and test!!!

@blackcurrantqueen - same here. I’m purposefully not buying any tests so I don’t have the option to test early. Trying to wait until AF is due and only test once (if) I’m late, but expect I’ll cave before then!

How’s everyone getting on? Desperately trying to fight the urge to buy a pregnancy test and just wait until Saturday to see if AF arrives.

I had a positive OPK on 27th/28th - cramping this past week. BFN today as I couldn’t resist testing. AF due Saturday and there’s no way I’ll be able to hold out.
Good effort for those who have so far!

I’ve tested a few times and due in a couple of days. I can’t be sure of any having even a squinter but I’m certainly having some unusual symptoms and I usually start spotting at least 2 days before af so I’m completely in limbo - no idea what’s going on. Decided to just keep testing with cheap tests each morning until I see enough to try an FRER or af arrives. Good luck everyone xx

Period starting for me. But theeee most painful nipples 🥺

Oh sorry @charlsains. Is painful nipples a normal period thing for you?

Sorry about the BFNs. It’s still very early days though. I don’t believe the tests that say they’re accurate 6 days before your period. I didn’t get a BFP with DD until I was a week late!

Think I’m going to order some tests online tomorrow so by the time they arrive it’ll hopefully be the end of the week (and try to resist temptation to drive to the shops to by one before then!)

I never get it this bad but im thinking as i actually ovulated this month, its just my hormones being different? Im deffo coming on though!

Sounds like a good idea for the tests!! Keep us updated xxx

Oh gosh! Its just a head fuck with a squinter! No harm in testing daily if you can deal with it, let us know how you get on xxx

@charlsains
Sorry to hear your period is starting...really feel like I won’t be far behind you but my body continues to play tricks on me. Starting to feel a bit more like normal period signs but still no spotting. Still BFN this morning apart from the squinter I think I’m convincing myself of - not enough for me to do FRER.

@YakkityYakYakYak I always feel really down after FRER bfn as I feel they are most reliable but that gives me some hope. App saying I’m due today, I think it could be tomorrow so we’ll see what happens after that.

Hope everyone else is feeling ok xx

Its just that mucky brown stage! Still have such sore boobs though! Just want to come on properly and be done with it.

Hmm see how you go I wouldn't waste on a frer just yet perhaps! Fingers crossed while theres still a chance xxx

Yeah I’ll save it, at this point I would rather af just arrived so I can move onto the next cycle. Really think I’m clutching at straws with the cheap tests so hoping I won’t be in this unknown territory much longer xx

Well that’s me out, just got my period 3 days early. Guess it saves me waiting in suspense until the weekend at least.

Good luck to the rest of you. Keeping my fingers crossed that someone gets their BFP this month! Xx

Period on the way for me now too, started spotting late last night. Onto the next month xx

Aw, sorry @Kinder19. Better luck next month.

As disappointed as I am, being able to have a few glasses of bubbly over Christmas and New Years will be nice. The last two years I’ve been either breastfeeding or pregnant so have had to be the designated driver.

I’ve also just realised that the next ‘fertile window’ according the my app is the exact days that my parents are coming to stay for Christmas. That’ll be interesting

Sorry, horrible spelling in that last post!

Sorry bout your period guys!! At least we know now. Mines started properly now i think! I was due to ovulate boxing day but its now a day or so later possibly! Usually waiting for my period over Christmas so im relieved that thats not hanging over me ♥️

Thanks @charlsains it does take away some of the agony of just waiting/wondering. Glad you won’t have your period over Christmas 🎄 I have long cycles so probably won’t ovulate until around New Year xx
