I'm 5dpo and already feel like my period is coming. Lol... weird heaviness in my abdomen. Feel a bit moody. How about you?

@StarL2021 so annoying how the symptoms are so similar isn’t it! It’s just a longgg waiting game!
@Cheesestring19 are you going to test again tomorrow?
I also came off BC only 3 cycles ago and feel like this is my first ‘normal’ cycle since X

Hi I just thought I’d post on here as I always look through these threads when I’m in the 2ww and symptom spotting.
I got a faint positive yesterday at 9dpo and today I got 1-2 weeks on clearblue digital at 10dpo.

Short back ground- my daughter was stillborn at 37 weeks in October so have been ttc since December once given the all clear.

My symptoms have differed each month in the 2ww.
Last month I had a chemical pregnancy which resulted in a loss at 4+6. I tested because I was hungry constantly and I was really angry where normally before my period I become quite emotional and tearful. My lines didn’t really progress and started to actually fade and I just knew it wasn’t going to end well.

Fast forward to now, I know I ovulated on 3/4/2020 had positive opk on 02/04/2020 and the next day had ovulation pains and dizziness.

2 days ago at 8dpo had very very light implantation bleed.

But for the past 4 days I have had a very dull lower back ache it’s been so uncomfortable and really noticeable. The ache has also spread round to the sides and a heavy feeling in my womb.
Have had creamy cm since ovulation but did dry up yesterday but is back slightly today.
Had mild indigestion and last night had shooting pain in my right breast. They feel heavier but they do before a period as well.
Body has been a bit achey and had a couple of little spots on my forehead and chin. Haven’t had increase in urine.

It’s very early days for me and naturally I’m very cautious and scared to even be hopeful but I’m trying to think positive.

Hope that helps anyone symptom wise & baby dust to you all!

Think I'm gonna give it 48 hours. I know cycles can be all over the place the first 12 months

Gnashaloulou · 13/04/2021 13:49

Congrats @Clio91 !! And thank you for sharing your symptoms too. Funnily enough, I had stabbing pain in my left boob yesterday. I thought nothing of it (I actually had a breast lift six months ago and put the pain down to them still healing etc).

And hi @Msd2416 - here's hoping you get a lovely bfp! When do you plan on testing?

StarL2021 · 13/04/2021 13:53

@Clio91 thanks for sharing your story with us all. So glad you got your bfp.

@Gnashaloulou I have had the standby boob thing too. Along with sore nipples.

S*d it, I'm gonna test again this eve when I get in from work.

I know it will be negative because it's too early but I have so many tests at home so may as well use them up x

Msd2416 · 13/04/2021 13:54

@Gnashaloulou Im going to try and wait until next week closer to my period due date but knowing me i'll test from 10DPO xx

Kty09 · 13/04/2021 13:56

Aw @Clio91 after reading that I really hope this is the start of a positive story for you! Sorry for your losses I can’t imagine how hard that is. Thanks for sharing that X

Clio91 · 13/04/2021 13:56

Thank you @Gnashaloulou & @StarL2021!
It could be a symptom! It just keeps coming and going, keeping everything crossed you get your BFPs!

I say I won’t and I know I shouldn’t but I’ll probably continue to test!

Clio91 · 13/04/2021 13:57

@Kty09 Thank you, she was a gorgeous girl, all 6lb 14oz of her! Xx

Gnashaloulou · 13/04/2021 14:12

@StarL2021 oooh keep us posted!!

I'm so sorry about your little girl, the pain of that kind of loss is indescribable. Flowers

Im saying a very gently congratulations to you, a positive on a digital at 10dpo is an amazingly good sign. Massive hug.

Have you any real life support? I had a loss at 21+4 and have found SANDS to be incredible. Keeping all my fingers crossed for your rainbow Xx

Clio91 · 13/04/2021 16:17

@BloodyHellAudrey Thank you lovely and I’m so sorry for the loss of your precious baby Flowers

I hope so!

Yes I’ve found SANDS and Tommy’s to be amazing, I’ve had counselling through my work as well which has been brilliant xxx

justwant2beamum · 13/04/2021 20:31

Aww congrats @Clio91 so deserved, your story is heartbreaking. I'm 1dpo - first proper cycle trying again after mc in January. I'm just desperate to be pregnant 😩

StarL2021 · 14/04/2021 05:53

Morning ladies! So I've just tested 8dpo and BFN. Wahhhhhh. I know it's still early but is so disheartening still. Anyone testing today? Good luck 🤞🏽

OP posts:
Gnashaloulou · 14/04/2021 08:09

@StarL2021 aww that sucks!! Still early days though!! How long will you leave it before you test again?

I have told myself not to test until next weekend as I'll be around cd30. But I know I'll cave and test again this weekend Grin. However, I am convinced af is on her way so I may not get around to doing another test this month!

Cheesestring19 · 14/04/2021 08:25

Due on today and bfn. Maybe i ovulated later. I had ewcm for about 5 days from the 31st with the 30th being when I supposed should of ovulated? I swear they should teach us this stuff in school in more depth!

StarL2021 · 14/04/2021 10:20

@Gnashaloulou good will power! I'll probably test again later my ovaries are hurting and I really feel like my period is coming so I know it will be a BFN

@Cheesestring19 do you get ovulation pains? This is a huge sign for me. I get them quite badly the day after a positive ovulation test.

I didn't take ovulation tests this month. I order some off Amazon and they was damaged so had a break but I had cramps and ewcm from the 31st (which would be cd13) until cd 17. So it's cd 27 for me now and no spotting or horrific cramps I get just before my period. My boobs are heavy and very very veining which I only get when pregnant and just medium like creamy and snotty like discharge (sorry tmi)

Cheesestring19 · 14/04/2021 18:10

Looks like I'm out this month. Started some light brown discharge this afternoon. Good luck to all you ladies x

StarL2021 · 14/04/2021 18:23

@Cheesestring19 ohhhh sorry to hear that! Hopefully next month is your month.

I tested again this eve 8dpo and BFN. I honestly feel like my period is due any day I have a shirt luteal phase. I keep wiping too to check x

Could it be spotting?! Or is it defo af?

I'm waiting for mine to arrive. I've got all the usual pms business going on... in a way I hope she does come this weekend as that will mean I've had the same 23(ish) days cycle as I had last month...about time my body sorted itself out so I could start having a better understanding of whats going on.

TTC94 · 14/04/2021 20:27

Hi ladies,

Please may I join?

Currently about 7dpo I think and my period is due Monday or Tuesday. I’m not feeling particularly positive as my TTC journey so far has been arduous and emotionally draining. We have only dtd once this month due to a range of factors. So I’m most likely completely out, but I would like some company nevertheless!

@Clio91 and @BloodyHellAudrey - I am so sorry for your losses. Sending my love.

But @Clio91 - congrats on your tests this month. I will cross everything for you. You deserve your rainbow baby!

Lots of love to you all x

StarL2021 · 15/04/2021 08:12

@TTC94 of course you can join.! Welcome.

9dpo and BFN. I literally am a poas addict. Eurggggh.

I feel so different this month I've had no spotting which is crazy as I have it every month. Sooo frustrating. I'm cycle day 28 today but I ovulate slightly later I usually come in my period by now too.

Maybe it is just a bit late xx

OP posts:
Kty09 · 15/04/2021 08:32

@TTC94 hey, remember it can only take the once! How many cycles have you been TTC? Sorry you aren’t feeling too positive about it - I’m only in the early days really but can’t believe how long each cycle seems to go 😐 I’m very impatient as it is!

I have sore boobs today and no feelings of AF which I had around this time in my cycle last month 🤞🏼 Also had a bit of a heavy feeling down there yesterday.

@StarL2021 hopefully something will come up in the next couple days 🤞🏼
