June - 8DPO - Anyone with me?

221 replies

babyboybluex · 10/06/2021 10:42

Hey,

I'm 8DPO and feeling super dizzy with a headache for the past two days, slight nausea and swollen nipples. It could well be AF as she is due in a weeks time (on my sons 1st birthday, how cruel is that by the way?!) Wink

Is anyone else on the same CD or there about? How are you feeling?

@Pebblesbeach huge congratulations to you 🎉 x

@LeeTTCRainbow still no sign of AF here. My cycles for the last 3 months have all been 24 days & we are now at cycle day 28, absolutely no sign of AF as I usually get cramps 2 days before too. I'm now kicking myself for not starting to use the OPK sticks I've got as I'm now doubting if & when I ovulated last month ( thought I was showing ovulation CM ) I've since read online that CBD stuff can mess with your cycle too? Although I'm not sure how accurate this is? I suffer with anxiety & I've recently started taking CBD spray from Holland & Barrett to help alleviate the symptoms... I can't remember the exact date I started using it but it has been recent - so that coupled with my 1st Covid jab on the 18th May are now providing double whammy confusion! Also to add to the confusion mix the hcg tests I bought online from eBay - a lot the reviews say that they are inaccurate & don't work & there are lots of reviews from pregnant women saying that they didn't pick up their hcg levels & gave bfn when they was bfp HmmI don't have any symptoms of anything, so I'm just holding out a week of so I guess to see where we are then.

P.S I had a BFN with the dodgy eBay test 2 days ago ... but no idea if that is correct.

I think I'm going to take a week off thinking about it all.

Big hugs to all you lovely ladies who've joined the thread 💓 xX

AF arrived today 1 day early. Gutted, but that's life. Good luck to the rest of you for this cycle and onwards.

pinkypink24 · 14/06/2021 10:59

@KSmith94 can you please advise what the tests were that you mentioned as I think I need to bin my eBay stash that I purchased. Boots / Superdrug ones are really expensive! TIA xX

@LeeTTCRainbow how are you feeling today lovely? xX

KSmith94 · 14/06/2021 11:03

@pinkypink24 of course, I used the easy@home brand as they worked much better than an even cheaper brand I'd bought but easy@home are still cheap and affordable but they worked really well for me, with baby number 1 I got pregnant second month ttc, hope this helps xx

LeeTTCRainbow · 14/06/2021 11:11

@Skincareaddict not long to go, fingers crossed for you.

11Dpo so last few nights barely slept like just cant doze off however last night was shattered so was in bed by 9 (im a night owl normally) few mornings woken up so queasy and this morning i had to lie back in bed, i'm super tired everything feels like such effort today, lower back pain still, my belly is so bloated (that happens before AF also) i haven't stopped eating all weekend and practically had a whole pot of coleslaw to myself (really wanting salad and fruit at the minute) at family bbq haha, noticed I'm weeing more and have constant pressure to wee. so so so tired today, eyes are heavy, barely concentrating at work.

I took a test this morning stupid i know as still early, used a clear blue early one and the im sure slightest vvvvfl but i'm not trusting it as could be indent so going to wait few more days and see if AF arrives. then will take another test Friday if doesnt show.

pinkypink24 · 14/06/2021 11:13

Thank you @KSmith94 I've just googled & found them. Did you buy them from Amazon / EBay?

Cheekymonkey3112 · 14/06/2021 11:19

@joanneash let me know how you get on. I took a FRER this morning at 8/9dpo and it was negative. Hoping there's still time yet. I keep asking for a sign that it will be positive 🤣🤣

KSmith94 · 14/06/2021 11:21

@pinkypink24 I bought them off Amazon just because I wanted next day delivery and they do different sized packs, you can get a pack of 50 on Amazon Smile

LeeTTCRainbow · 14/06/2021 11:27

@pinkypink24 I'm sorry to hear your body is confusing you, if getting stressed definitely take some time away and see if and when AF arrives. Sending love and baby dust to you.

Im feeling shattered today, last few mornings woken up feeling queasy, today feel so heavy everything aches, if that makes sense and constantly hungry over weekend, had breakfast this morning at 7 and already had two biscuits, fruit bar and a apple and only 11.26 so ready for lunch haha.

pinkypink24 · 14/06/2021 11:36

@LeeTTCRainbow can you please advise what this abbreviation means as I'm new to all of this 'vvvvfl' im on edge for you 😬 xX

Skincareaddict · 14/06/2021 12:33

@leettcrainbow aaah the vvvvfl is positive news, and hopefully the fact you haven't been feeling too great is also good news! Keeping all my fingers and toes crossed for you that hopefully that faint line ends up as a BFP by the end of the week!

Skincareaddict · 14/06/2021 12:34

@pinkypink24 if I'm not mistaken vvvfl means very very very faint line

LeeTTCRainbow · 14/06/2021 14:05

@pinkypink24 oh yes sorry vvvvfl means very very very faint line. but never know if a indent or could be chemical at this point so will leave for few days before testing again otherwise causes unnecessary upset when it could be a positive.

Seeing faint lines is also hard as when had mmc after d&c i had to keep taking tests to check 100% negative was horrid you've never wanted a negative so much so can start get your period back.

LeeTTCRainbow · 14/06/2021 14:08

@Skincareaddict i hope so, just dont want to let myself get excited just yet, as could just lead to disappointment.

Seeing faint lines is also hard so hard for me as when had mmc after d&c i had to keep taking tests to check 100% negative was horrid you've never wanted a negative so much so can start get your period back.

Best of luck also. keeping everything crossed for you.

pinkypink24 · 14/06/2021 14:26

Well I've just randomly used my OPK stick from the bundle I got with the bad reviews. If this is accurate it appears that my LH surge is approaching ( pic included ) I will continue to use these strips daily now to see if the line gets darker. I have more tests coming which are the easy@home ones as I'm not sure I can trust the batch I've currently got.

Well it's a mystery what has happened with my cycle this month 🤷‍♀️ if these OPK's are correct ive ovulated real late as my last period was 16 May!

Covid jab / CBD not sure if any of these have knocked my cycle off balance but I'm going to have to up my game with the OPK testing & will not be using anymore CBD.

WAAAAAA 😩

June - 8DPO - Anyone with me?
JoanneAsh · 14/06/2021 19:55

I’m due on Friday looking at my charts. My pelvis j really sore tonight and I am shattered as well getting some odd pins and needles effect but that could be something else. Most of my pains are on my left side which is where my remaining tube is.

Oh sorry bsck story almost a year ago (23rd June) I had an operation to remove one of my tubes as I had an ectopic pregnacy.

Iloveoreos · 14/06/2021 22:18

@AureliaRose

Tested this morning. 12dpo and a bfn. 😔
Tested yesterday at 11dpo and bfn. Didnt test today
AureliaRose · 15/06/2021 06:21

@Iloveoreos I'm going to wait a few days to test again. Feels a bit like AF might be coming.

Cheekymonkey3112 · 15/06/2021 07:45

Think I'm out. Tested with a FRER and a stark white BFN. Not even a hint of a squinter and my BBT chart is going down hill. Gutted and fed up

Skincareaddict · 15/06/2021 08:19

Woken up with the worst period pains, 95% sure I'm out too :(

Cheekymonkey3112 · 15/06/2021 08:50

@Skincareaddict sending you a hug. I'm due a wine tonight I think 😭

Skincareaddict · 15/06/2021 08:57

@Cheekymonkey3112 thanks and big hugs to you too! Its only over when AF arrives but let's just treat ourselves until she does!

Cheekymonkey3112 · 15/06/2021 09:49

@Skincareaddict yes very true although when I get a bfn I just want the witch to turn up so I can get on with it. Its just one big waiting game this ttc isn't it 😭

Pasha82 · 15/06/2021 10:25

I know how you all feel. When AF arrives I always hope it's just the start of implantation bleeding, but it never is. I bled a little with my first, so I live in hope. Unfortunately this time round it's a proper flow and two days in. I will still be here in July ttc if anyone else is. Good luck

LeeTTCRainbow · 15/06/2021 10:26

@Skincareaddict sorry to hear you think AF is on her way, you never know some people get cramps think its AF and actually get their BFP so keep positive until she shows her face your not out.

@pinkypink24 great news keep watching that line and hopefully wont be long and getting that positive ovulation test.

@Iloveoreos its still early, wait few more days until AF is due and try again if doesnt show.

@Cheekymonkey3112 not out until she shows her face.

@AureliaRose good luck, hoping AF stays away for you.

12Dpo 2 days until AF due currently no sign of it starting had some abdominal twinches but for only few minutes (normally have pms cramps few days before) but my lower back around tailbone is starting to get painful, which i had with both my previous pregnancies, and was awful night before got my positive so hope it continues and its a sign. these last few days are going to drag!!!
