7DPO...

[line123eyesalways]

I'm 7DPO today (I think) and driving myself mad with symptom spotting....

Is anyone else in the same boat?

@chasingtherainbow1 have you been daily testing? Ah I hope you AF doesn't show up for your holiday!! I feel very queasy today still but I do think I'm out this month. There's not even a faint line on either test! X

@line123eyesalways I've only been daily testing these last 3 days because I'm trying to see if the remaining hcg has gone/going.

It's so difficult though because my cycles are so out because of this, the unknown is just so annoying. I'm praying either a pregnancy or af comes at some point soon though rather than not at all. I've heard with some miscarriages, it throws your cycle off loads!

I think I will definitely be out tbh. I feel my achy boobs are probably af related. We can try next month!

@chasingtherainbow1 ah it must be so horrible! I can imagine it throws your cycles out massively.

I'm not going to test anymore. Just wait for AF! I think my achy boobs are AF symptoms too.. yes there's always next month x

@line123eyesalways will try and do another one, usually when I've done one, can guarantee AF shows up soon after.

@Lauraliverpool yeah I can tell that's what's going to happen to me too! AF will definitely arrive soon. I'm never testing early again! Haha

Morning ladies.

Ive been trying to not overthink things the last couple of days. But woke up today with cramps back pain and spotting.... All my usual signs AF is arriving today 😢

Here's to next month 🤞🤞

@ginandgiggles sorry to hear you are out! But at least the not knowing is over and you can focus on the next month.

@line123eyesalways I guess there is nothing you can do but wait now!

I feel absolutely rubbish today so wondering if AF will arrive later on or tomorrow. Going to test this afternoon if no sign. I could be anywhere between 11 and 14 dpo so could still be too early.

@line123eyesalways I always say to myself don't test don't test but knowing I've got them can't help myself. I've said to my husband that we need to try more through the month as I just don't think it's been enough lol.

@Arly90 ah that's rubbish! Yeah next month will be better!

@charl881 yeah there isn't even a faint line on any of my tests so I definitely think I'm out. Ah no, I hope it doesn't show! Hopefully a test would show a positive!

@Lauraliverpool it's so hard when they're there! I was going to test for a few days but because it was there this morning I did it!! We DTD every day which is what's frustrating!!

I can't believe we haven't had any BFP's in the group yet. It's so frustrating.

These are my progress tests which show the lines to be exactly the same so looks like it's not going down or up 🙄 the bottom is the most recent.

I can't believe my hcg was 7 last Thursday and still showing on a test. This has made me question everything I thought I knew about pregnancy tests and I'm dreading using them again next month.

I’m going to test either tonight or tomorrow I’m only a 11dpo not feeling hopefully as not got much signs! Xx

@chasingtherainbow1 it doesn't look any lighter though so I think that's a good sign!!

@Kallie92 That's exciting!! I've got my fingers crossed for you x

@chasingtherainbow1 how frustrating for you! But at least they don’t seem to be getting lighter? Would the doctor do more bloods?

@line123eyesalways @charl881 yeah it's not getting any lighter. I think I'd rather it go one way or the other though.

I've been discharged from the EPU once my level reached 7 unless I find out I have a new pregnancy. Although that's going to be hard to determine 🙈

@chasingtherainbow1 if it was a new pregnancy hopefully it'll be darker in a few days! Have you tried another brand of tests just incase? X

@line123eyesalways I was using the boots strips until they became sold out everywhere. Not I'm using some other cheap strips which don't seem as good. I might go get a couple of better ones today and maybe take one tomorrow and then another a few days later if af doesn't show up. They might be more reliable.

A BFN from me today as well. I will try to hold off until Friday and then Sunday if no sign of AF.

TMI but has anyone heard of diarrhoea as an early pregnancy symptom? I’ve had it for the last couple of days. Starting to wonder if I’m not pregnant what on earth is going on with my body as I’m having so many odd symptoms.

@charl881 I have noticed that I've had a bit of diarrhoea for about 5 days. Not really bad but it's not like my usual. I googled it and apparently it can be a symptom but most people have constipation. I think any change in toilet habits are a sign of early pregnancy.

It feels impossible to indicate a pregnancy as it seems anything could be a symptom!

@chasingtherainbow1 crazy isn’t it, I’m a nightmare for imaging health things as well in general once I’ve got an idea in my head.

i am so sick of testing, im 12/13dpo and had a negative yday. bot much in the way of symptoms by now i would be having full on cramps. i think irlt must be the stress delaying it

charl yes it is a symptom, sounds promising!

@MadamMaltesers I feel your pain, I wish I could stop testing, it seems pointless when I keep getting negatives. Are you sure about when you ovulated? Hopefully we should both have answers by the weekend, although I know it still seems ages away

The first month I started trying I took honestly about four tests a day holding them up to the light certain I could see something, sooo frustrating as you look for everything as a symptom x

@Kallie92 no symptoms can also be pregnancy, so it's still possible! My first pregnancy I don't remember having any symptoms till the day AF was due where I had a bit of a lower back ache and light cramping. 🤞

@charl881 @Kallie92 @MadamMaltesers I think that is a symptom! I can't believe we've all tested and got negative!

I feel so sick and have got a bad headache so don't know if it's AF on her way! No cramps though which is unlike me
