7/8 dpo, thoughts and advice please

Thoughts please?

I have a 26 day cycle everytime, I am currently 7/8dpo. I noticed EWCM those 2 days I believe was around ovulation, I also track using an app as well, my app said ovulation would happen at the time I got the discharge. Anyway I’ve had cramping the past few days, yesterday and today I get a sharp pain in my right groin, my thigh aches like a dull ache and my belly feels bubbly along with dull cramps, that’s the only way I can describe it, I’m getting waves of nausea and I have very wet and sometimes EWCM again, which has been the past couple of days. usually I only have thick lotion type discharge leading up to AF after ovulation. Could this all be leading to me getting a BFP? I’m due AF on the 15/02/2021. Any thoughts is much appreciated!

Yes deffo @lockdownbabyx congratulations!!!

That was as far as mine got then I bled unfortunately.

Gablou · 16/02/2021 14:29

@lockdownbabyx well congratulations! Fingers crossed it’s good signs, I’m so happy for you!! Xxx

I’m going to Tesco tomorrow so I’ll pick a test up tomorrow. Would you say any pink dye test are the better ones to use? I’m usually dry as well but I’m waking up wet, I keep thinking I’ve come on in the night but it’s just discharge. At the moment I feel nauseous which I haven’t had since last week, I feel like I’m going to come on but they’re not painful cramps at all and I just feel full and heavy in my lower belly 🤷🏼‍♀️ Plus I’m getting hot flushes this afternoon. Happened twice now just all of a sudden. My symptoms could literally be anything

@Gablou 100% I find the first response are more accurate. Blue dye tests are known for evaps. I can never seem to get FR in supermarkets near me though, I've ordered them on Amazon.

I'd say they all sound like good signs, I also have a full feeling in my lower abdomen, not quiet cramps though more like a dull ache. Also have had a constant headache for 2 days, which I had in my last pregnancy and that's what made me test this morning.
Let me know how you get on with the test ☺️ xx

Gablou · 16/02/2021 14:42

@lockdownbabyx thank you. I’ll have a look when I go, if not I’ll take a trip to town later on in the week. Thank you, yeah mine are dull achy cramps and I just feel full and bloated like I’ve eaten loads but I haven’t. Yeah I’ll keep updating with anything new symptom wise and when I test xx

Hi Guys, really late to the party here... I'm 7 dpo and sooo tired, no energy, and keep getting sharp pains on my right hand side... keeping every thing crossed after a 9wk miscarriage in October.... just want answers now! X

Gablou · 16/02/2021 16:21

@Marie8280 hey! hang in there you don’t have long to go until you get an answer. Sorry about you miscarriage last year, I’m hoping we all get the answer we want. The tww is a nightmare, it’s so tempting to test early too but I’d advice if you can to wait as long as you can

Marie8280 · 16/02/2021 16:23

@Gablou thank you! Keeping every thing crossed for us all- make sure you keep us updated, when are you doing to test? X

Gablou · 16/02/2021 16:39

@Marie8280 thank you and yes I’m going to keep you all updated. I’m hoping to get a test tomorrow while doing a food shop so I can do it Thursday morning. If not I’ll pop into town Friday and grab one to do Saturday morning. That’s if I can actually do it. The more I’m thinking of it the more scared and excited I’m getting. I just don’t want another bfn, if I do then my body has been playing tricks on me x

Also late to the party! I've been symptom spotting like crazy and I'm only 4DPO 🙄 I've also been feeling a wetness with CM over the last day with some niggly pains around my lower pelvic area too (I'll be so gutted if this is trapped wind 😂) I've had heartburn for about a week which is just starting to subside and I've been so tired the past few days too which I'm sure could just be down to ovulation, who knows! Either way it's the strange wetness and pains that are getting me, like I only ever get this around AF which isn't due for another 10 days ish so it's really got me thinking!

Gablou · 16/02/2021 20:26

@Bee44 hey, fingers crossed for you, you still have plenty of time until testing for things to develop and hopefully you get your BFP!

I'm 5/6 DPO and I'm not sure if I'm too early for symptoms but I've had cramps on my lower left side and my boobs have been sore yesterday & today. Not sure if it's all in my head because I'm wanting to feel something but time will tell!

Good luck to everyone xxx

Gablou · 16/02/2021 21:05

@caitvictoria only you know how you feel so don’t disregard them. I had similar at that many dpo. I’m now 2 days late for my period so only time will tell. Try not to overthink tho as that drives you crazy. Fingers crossed tho

OP posts:
Bee44 · 16/02/2021 21:43

@Gablou thanks, fingers crossed! I'm still so far away from testing 😩 AF isn't due for another 10days ish so I'll hold out until then. Yours sounds promising!

@caitvictoria I'm having pains too, not painful just niggly aches I'd say on my left side and lower pelvic area which I wouldn't usually get until the day before AF.

Gablou · 17/02/2021 07:31

@Bee44 yeah definitely try and wait as long as you can before testing. Thank you, I’m hoping this is it for me

Gablou · 17/02/2021 10:50

@mums2boys thank you. Still no period and had a bit of cramping this morning and abit of nausea. I had abit of acid reflux last night too 🤷🏼‍♀️Awh! Well fingers crossed for you as well

OP posts:
lockdownbabyx · 17/02/2021 12:29

@Gablou took an FR this morning, oh I hope this one is a sticky bean 🤞🏼. I have a few more FR so going to test again in a couple of days and see if I can see progression xx

@lockdownbabyx congratulations! So happy for you!

There was no tests in Tesco so what’s everyone’s thoughts on Poundland tests?

OP posts:
lockdownbabyx · 17/02/2021 13:57

@Gablou thank you! Now I need to try just relax and not let my anxiety kick in 🤣.

I'm not sure about Poundland ones but I have cheap strips that were only a £1 from Tesco and I got a postive on that this morning too. Are the Poundland tests red dye?

Gablou · 17/02/2021 14:17

@lockdownbabyx definitely relax as much as you can and not worry!

Yeah they’re pink dye ones. Tesco only had clear blue ones and I wasn’t paying £12 😅 they’re strips as well. No casing on them

OP posts:
lockdownbabyx · 17/02/2021 14:34

@Gablou well pink dye are definitely bette to find. This is my cheap strip from this morning, the line is fainter but it's still there! Plus I'm only 10dpo so they're more sensitive than I thought. Good luck, really hope it's positive for you 🤞🏼 xx

*better I find

Gablou · 17/02/2021 15:01

@lockdownbabyx tomorrow when I’m in town I’ll pick a couple up from there then and I’ll have to test Friday with my fmu. Congratulations again and thank you! I hope so too. If not my body and cycle are playing tricks on me xx

Feel like I’m coming down with something tonight, feel so crappy but I couldn’t stop eating. So I had a nap for about 2 hours, my boyfriend woke me up saying my tea was ready, ate that then had some sweets and chocolate and a full bag of popcorn nearly and all of a sudden I’m all stuffy, headache and feel run down so I’m now back in bed again, hopefully this means something. Roll on Friday morning when I can test. Unless my period shows before then

OP posts:
lockdownbabyx · 17/02/2021 20:23

@Gablou I had a couple of days where I felt like that. The headaches were the worst, but always had a runny nose and was always blocked at night. Assumed I was coming down with a cold but it disappeared all of a sudden. Hope it's a good sign 🤞🏼 xx
