7DPO...

[line123eyesalways]

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

Is anyone else in the same boat?

@line123eyesalways is your af due today?

@MadamMaltesers ohhh that's exciting!!

@Kallie92 yeah it is! I have no real indication of it showing up though. Usually get bad cramps and a bit of a dodgy stomach!

Think AF is making an appearance. Feel like now it's another month were it hasn't worked.

@line123eyesalways morning 😊 no sign of AF yet, not for you either? I've just felt a little bit of an ache in my lower back but nothing more. 🤞🤞 Keep us updated!

Anyone else have AF due today?

@Lauraliverpool oh no I feel like mine might be arriving too. Getting a bit more crampy now but nothing like usual!

@MamaSJ15 ah how exciting! She hasn't arrived yet! I'm getting a little bit crampy but not my usual excruciating cramps haha, so I don't know! Will you be testing today? X

@line123eyesalways I hope it's not AF cramps! I'm hoping to hold out till tomorrow. I hate the thought of getting a negative test then AF arrive so soon after, I would rather wait if I can! I may cave tonight if it's not shown but sometimes AF will arrive right before I go to bed 😂 will you test today or tomorrow if it doesn't show?

Another BFN for me today. I have a pounding headache and feel sick (literally like I’m hungover but haven’t drank!) but I do know headaches for me can be a sign AF is on the way so wouldn’t be surprised if I’m out later today. Good luck everyone still waiting!

@MamaSJ15 me too! They keep disappearing and for the first time ever (apart from when I've had a drink) I woke up in the night to go to the toilet! I never do this so thought it was strange! I've got my FRERs arriving today so I'm hoping to hold out til the morning. I know I'll run to the toilet as soon as they're here though hahah x

@charl881 this is how I've been for the last few days! Had to go home and sleep it off for an hour or so after work. Hopefully it's not AF! When are you due again? X

@line123eyesalways starting to get me down, have managed to get a phone consultation with the doctors today so I'm going to ask for a thorough mot to see what's going on.

@Lauraliverpool I'm so sorry! I hope they see you quickly and get to the bottom of it. Are you trying for #1? Sorry, I can't remember if you've said or not! X

@line123eyesalways 🤞 haha I'm always getting up in the night to pee 😂 ever since being pregnant with #1! Except I didn't last night haha. I feel more achy than crampy, but I'm probably just trying to make it feel different to AF! Only time will tell
@Lauraliverpool I hope you get answers soon, sorry you feel down, has AF arrived?

@Lauraliverpool have you been trying for a while hun? It’s honestly the most disheartening thing ever it took me four months then a mmc at 8 weeks so that’s another two months and then now not this month! So upsetting and I no when the time is right that baby will be the baby but it’s heartbreaking every month and I don’t like to tell to many people about it so good I have this x

@MamaSJ15 I never do! Felt very disorientated when I woke up at 4am hahah! That's a good sign. I don't even know how I feel today! Crampy then nothing, not even cramps more like twinges? X

how to do you do that @ so n so thingy?

line123 im having lottle twinges here n there too and not so much cramps.

You just press the '@' sign and start typing the name @MadamMaltesers

Twinges are good! This is what I'm having. I think the cramps might be a bit of gas 😂 sorry tmi!!!

Morning everyone.

Decided to do a frer this morning which is positive as expected with the remaining hcg. Will do another in a few days to see if it gets any darker.

It's really bugging me now. If my hcg was 7 a week ago and frer threshold is 6.5, surely I've dropped more than one in a week and it shouldn't be picking it up 🤷🏻‍♀️

Feel like I'll be left in this limbo for ages. I'd rather my period just come than carry on like this

Morning @chasingtherainbow1

That's good news! I really doubt the HCG amount would still be 7 from a week ago, it would have dropped by now!

Do you have a picture of the FRER? Is it a faint line? X

@line123eyesalways anywhere between yesterday and Saturday as my cycle lengths haven’t been regular. If it’s not arrived by Sunday I’m definitely late.

@chasingtherainbow1 sounds promising!

@charl881 are you going to test again in a few days or wait to see if AF shows up? X

@line123eyesalways yeah this is the pic within the time frame. However, I did have one of those cheap ones left so I used that too and that line isn't darker from yesterday. I have read with the cheaper ones that they're really bad for evap lines and they're only meant to pick up 25 hcg or more so maybe I was getting evaps on those. God knows 🙈

I don't think I've ever got a positive before my AF due date before and I'm due tomorrow so I'll wait until Saturday morning to do another I think. Maybe Sunday if I can last and AF doesn't come.

@chasingtherainbow1 yeah I think Saturday would be best to either let the HCG levels rise or fall! How confusing for you though! I'm patiently waiting for my FRERs to arrive!! X

@Kallie92 have had two failed rounds of IVF, prior to that we were trying ourselves and have had 3 miscarriages one before my son and two after, had investigations and they couldn't find a reason as to why, then got told IVF would be the best way forward, then that hasn't worked, so decided we'd try ourselves again but just doesn't seem to be happening and now I'm 40 that is worrying me. Really sorry to hear about your loss ♥

@line123eyesalways yeah that's what I'll do. I'm at a wedding tomorrow so at least that will keep my mind occupied and not get tempted to test. Guaranteed AF will arrive Sunday night just before I go away for the week. She always arrives inconveniently!

When are yours meant to be arriving? I got these from boots yesterday and they were the only ones left. The tests are just selling out everywhere, don't know what's going on!
