Only 6DPO and I feel like I’m going crazy! Anyone else with me?

Hi everyone so I got my peak on 23rd January and I think I ovulated on 24th.. I’m now 6DPO ovulation. I tested this morning and obviously I couldn’t see anything, but I’m already planning how to tell my partner and looking at baby clothes.. what is wrong with me! Anybody else? And the wait is dragging too!x

@LadyJane18 9dpo today, for me it's very weird not to have any pms symptom. Not sure this is good or right. Which dpo are you? Cramps are good sign.

@Stardust89 when is your AF due?

LadyJane18 · 06/02/2021 08:11

@oannic so it’s 11DPO for me, I’ve literally had NO symptoms but I’ve done a test this morning and I can’t tell if I can see a line!!! I’m freaking out a little (in a good way) I don’t know how to post a pic in here for yous to look at. any ideas? 🙈 x

@LadyJane18 Morning, ahh that's frustrating! When you hit reply there's a paperclip option, should let you upload a pic from there?

Cafeaulait27 · 06/02/2021 09:05

@LadyJane18 hello! How long have you been on mumsnet for? I think it take 48 hours to be able to post photos. Please post it when you can so we can see 😊 xxx

Cafeaulait27 · 06/02/2021 09:11

Hello to everyone that’s just joined! Anyone testing today??

I’m 4 weeks 2 days today and I’ve been totally wiped out with tiredness. Kind of feel pleased to have symptoms! I just want to lie on the sofa all weekend. Got lots of creamy CM too which is a good sign apparently.

I tested again today, this is the day after my period should’ve started and I’m usually very regular. The line was a little darker than Thursday but still not a dark line (it was just a regular supermarket cheap test both times) I was a little disappointed! But I’m going to make myself wait a week now to test again and check my progress. Things seem to be going well at the mo so trying not to obsess.

Good luck to anyone testing xx

ChristmasJumpers · 06/02/2021 09:35

@cafeaulait27 it must be quite comforting for your symptoms to be building :) isn't it funny how we're all desperate to be fatigued, sick and have really sore boobs 😂

I took another test yesterday (and got told off by DH as he doesn't understand the urge!) BFN and now I'm spotting. This is normal for me for a day or two before AF so I'm pretty sure I'm out. Its really getting to me now after 2 years of trying, we might need a break for the sake of my mental health 😞 we have a fertility appointment at the end of March so might not try now until then

lottieb92 · 06/02/2021 09:38

@LadyJane18 exciting!! Annoying but yes the paperclip should be in the same place as the the @ button when you’re allowed to upload a pic :) hopefully not long!

My AF is due in 4 days and BFN today on a FR. So I think I’m out this month. Woke up with sore boobs and metallic mouth taste so jumped the gun a bit 🤣 onto the next cycle but I’d love to see some more success stories on here! X x

Cafeaulait27 · 06/02/2021 09:49

@ChristmasJumpers oh mannn sorry to hear that you’re spotting. Do you have regular cycles? I’m taking 150mg aspirin which is supposed to help with implantation and can be taken right up to 36 weeks, it helps blood flow to the baby. Could be something to try? I feel like it may have helped with implantation for me this time xxx

hels301990 · 06/02/2021 10:05

@ChristmasJumpers so sorry to hear about the spotting. 2 years is one hell of a journey for you.
I missed my FMU - barely remember going lol so I'll test tomorrow which is the day I'm due on (if I don't wake up to a horrible surprise) atm my boobs are still incredibly painful, light cramps and feeling just general nauseous and off so could go either way I recon. Only thing is I usually have some brown discharge/spotting the day before and I've not had that yet but 🤷‍♀️

LadyJane18 · 06/02/2021 10:50

@Cafeaulait27 hi :) I haven’t been on here 48 hours so that’s probably why I don’t have the option to post yet. I’ll definitely put a picture in when I can for you to see ♥️ Today is the anniversary of my dads passing so it seems a little coincidental, fingers crossed I can confirm tomorrow ☺️
@lottieb92 you’re not out till she arrives lovely, it’s good you have those signs you never know :)
@TPP81 I’ll hopefully be able to do it tomorrow so I’ll update yous then too 🙂 how are you feeling today? Xx

IndaFlowers · 06/02/2021 10:52

@Stardust89 & @LadyJane18 welcome!!

Work was crazy busy yesterday so kept my mind of bfps and kept me off the Internet. Woke up this morning and as soon as I got out of bed the nausea hit me like a truck, so tested - bfn. Was sure I saw a second line at first but I inverted there was nothing there

Not due af until 9/10th.

It's so wonderful to see so many bfps on this thread though.

@Cafeaulait27 I really hope you have a lovely relaxing weekend x

Stardust89 · 06/02/2021 11:34

@oannic af is due Friday. I almost saved my morning wee but decided I'd best not as only got 2 clear blue tests so didn't want to waste it.

Tomorrow is 5 days before AF so think that'll be better to test from. Last week I was convinced I'd get bfp but now I feel like I'm convinced a bfn 🙈

@ChristmasJumpers could be implantation 🤞 you're not out until full blown AF arrives

@LadyJane18 ooh how exciting can't wait to see 👀

TPP81 · 06/02/2021 11:39

@LadyJane18 Yes do, exciting to hear how you get on. I'm good, trying not to wonder if every twinge could be something but realistically I know prob way too early! As this is the first month of ttc I'm trying to remain calm and realistic! Not really working but hey 😂 So good to have others to chat to who are also in the waiting game. In the middle of binge watching Breaking Bad with my bf so that stops me from checking early pregnancy symptoms for the 100th time 😂❤️ Happy Saturday all from a rainy Edinburgh! X

oannic · 06/02/2021 12:52

@LadyJane18 that's exciting! Keep us posted!
@Stardust89 I see, kinda like me. My period is also due Thursday/Friday. Until now only bfns but I only used cheap ones from amazon. Have no symptoms..nothing. Usually my boobs are killing me before AF now nothing. I actually feel ok.. just still bloated.

ChristmasJumpers · 06/02/2021 13:45

@cafeaulait27 no unfortunately I've had irregular cycles since 14 but since tracking I know I always have a 12 day LP.

I might try aspirin next time, anything that helps I'm happy to try!!

1boo1 · 06/02/2021 13:52

Been waiting for some symptoms to arrive before popping back but just caught up and exciting to see some BFPs, congrats 😊

I'm 6 DPO and boobs are feeling heavier and fuller (easy to note the change as super small usually!) I know its very early on but feeling optimistic.. As this happened in Jan around similar timings but unfortunately mc 😢. Really hope it happens for us this month!

AF due Valentines day and hope she stays away! Not sure when to test but thinking around 11dpo or after to maybe avoid the worry and BFN?

LadyJane18 · 06/02/2021 14:33

Thank you @IndaFlowers☺️
@Stardust89 @oannic there’s still time for sure :)
It’s crazy because I had no symptoms at all until late on at 9DPO I had like a sharp pain that came and went right in the middle of my abdomen (towards the surface not deep inside) if that makes any sense 🙈 that lasted all the next day. And now 11dpo I have slightly tender boobs, creamy cm, and a heavy feeling with little pulses like a twitch. Seems like my symptoms only started after implantation (no implantation bleeding) I’ve had two seemingly positive tests now. Going to do a digital tomorrow morning and hopefully little one will stick :)
Sorry to go into detail but I know this is the sort of stuff I look for on these threads 🙈
No symptoms doesn’t mean anything 😁
Excited for everyone ♥️
@1boo1 I’m sorry to hear about your mc, it’s good you’re feeling good about this month! Fingers crossed for you all🥰

Cafeaulait27 · 06/02/2021 14:43

@ChristmasJumpers ah ok, do you think you might have pcos if you have irregular cycles? I have it and take metformin which regulates them really well - I was amazed at the difference. My cycles are now 30 days on the dot every month. I had to go to a private endocrinologist for the metformin as nhs and gp referral was taking too long.

Just a thought in case it helps you in the future 😊

ChristmasJumpers · 06/02/2021 15:17

@cafeaulait27 I've been tested and had it ruled out but hopefully will know more once I've had my proper fertility appointment 🤞

I'm officially out now, AF has shown her face and I've had a good cry. I'm now baking and trying to forget about it!!

I use the MN app so it's hard to remember lots of people's usernames to tag but congrats to everyone on your BFPs and good luck to those still waiting to test Daffodil

oannic · 06/02/2021 15:34

@LadyJane18, congrats!

Stardust89 · 06/02/2021 15:39

@oannic
Same here my boobs are normally sensitive by now but they aren't yet. Super tired too but that's because I'm cutting down on caffeine.

@1boo1 sorry to heat about your MC, fingers crossed for this cycle.

So happy for you @LadyJane18 ! My cm is still creamy, but not sure if that's normal for me as it's first month of me tracking it.

@ChristmasJumpers sorry to hear about AF. I know it might not be comforting but a lot of people say they stopped trying and got their BFP so fingers crossed for your next cycle. Baking sounds like a great distraction too.

1boo1 · 06/02/2021 15:57

Thank you for the positive vibes everyone 🥰 this group is great. I've learnt so much and nice to be able to chat and read about symptoms openly (even if some are tmi 🤭 lol) as those are the things we all wonder and you can't find online!

Plus my DH obvs has no idea about CM so don't think I'd bore him with that! Although he agreed my boobs were 'more weighty' 😂 this morning which made me laugh a lot.

CM seems to be very white(sorry tmi), not sure if it usually is this part of cycle for me as don't pay attention that much?

oannic · 06/02/2021 16:01

My cm is also white.. but I see only on my undies and don't feel "wet". It's just dry on the undies (sorry for the tmi).

I also don't know what to think of this. Hmm

Cafeaulait27 · 06/02/2021 17:16

@oannic that CM sounds like a good thing! It could be your body protecting the cervix and preparing it for a baby! I’ve got quite a lot at the moment Xxx

Cafeaulait27 · 06/02/2021 17:17

@ChristmasJumpers sorry to hear your AF arrived and hopefully you can get some answers at your fertility appointment 😊
