7DPO...

[line123eyesalways]

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

Is anyone else in the same boat?

@chasingtherainbow1 haha yeah, definitely keeping us on our toes!! @MadamMaltesers I honestly have no idea at this point. I thought the feelings I got a couple of days ago would have been implantation if I conceived this cycle cause otherwise I have no idea what that was either!

@MamaSJ15 that all sounds promising! It may not be a period!

I was on the train with DP and got the weirdest taste of blood/metal in my mouth?!

@line123eyesalways it's very odd!
I always thought that was a symptom of pregnancy (I had it last cycle but turned out not to be pregnant). Still no AF for you?

@MamaSJ15 had DP checking my mouth as I thought something was cut!😂

I've never had it before. Was thinking it was everything is drunk/eaten and even got him to taste my water haha. Still no AF! No heavier for you either? X

@line123eyesalways that sounds so promising! That’s definitely a big sign of pregnancy and can’t think what else could explain it. Are you testing again tomorrow? I wonder if you just ovulated much later than you though and since you’ve been DTD every day anyway you’d be covered?

@MadamMaltesers definitely feels like this thread is cursed, maybe our bodies are all withholding our periods because we’re all over thinking it too much on this thread 🙈

I took another freedom test, this time with a four hour hold instead of two. There’s maybe a squinter of a line there but you really have to squint and I think it’s already disappeared so I’m guessing it’s another evap line. I definitely won’t buy these again tomorrow.

I’ve ordered some clear blue for tomorrow in case AF doesn’t show (couldn’t justify the price of a FRER when I’m pretty sure I should be showing as positive on any test regardless of the brand by now!)

@charl881 I know it's very strange!! Yeah I'm going to use my last FRER in the morning. If it shows negative I'm going to take that as AF will be arriving as it should pick it up. I'm thinking I ovulated later than I thought too!

I can see a very faint line on that one! Does it say what time the clear blues are coming? I hope you get a positive! X

@line123eyesalways not yet but I’m hoping that it’s before 1pm as then I’m out all afternoon and evening!

Fingers crossed for you in the morning! You really do have all the signs, just need the BFP.

I think I'm going to try and just wait for my period now without testing. I was due AF yesterday so I'll give it another 3 days and then I might ask for blood tests anyway seen as the remaining hcg should have gone to zero by now

@charl881 they really do. Probably just my body preparing for AF! I really do think I'm out this month. I hope they come before 1pm!! X

@chasingtherainbow1 hopefully you get your BFP! If not the doctors should take bloods xx

@chasingtherainbow1 I really hope you get a BFP soon!

@charl881 @line123eyesalways thanks I hope so too but not sure it will be this month!

One or the other has to come soon, my boobs are really sore which is a sign of both for me typically 😂

@line123eyesalways sorry, missed your earlier post! Haha yeah it is a symptom, hoping this is it for you!!
No, not much has happened. Literally just a bit of spotting (and sorry for tmi but brown blood, not red), no proper cramps or anything. If nothing more by morning I'll test again. How you doing?

Okay, AF has arrived properly now! I can finally say this is CD 1 of cycle 5!
@line123eyesalways how are you doing?

Oh no @MamaSJ15 - at least you know now! Good luck for your new cycle.

@MamaSJ15 oh no. At least you can move into your next cycle now!! I'm having a few cramps this morning! I really don't think I'm pregnant at all x

Last FRER taken with FMU on CD32. I'm not going to be taking any more tests and just wait for AF fo arrive as I know I'm not pregnant x

Hi ladies, hopping on this thread in the hopes that someone can help. I’m 9dpo and got very light pink spotting last night that I can only assume is my period as the exact same thing happened last month. My question is, is getting my period at 8/9 dpo a problem I should look into? I seems like a very short time after ovulation and I’m worried my lining wouldn’t be thick enough at that stage for any potential embryo to stick!

Oh no @line123eyesalways - so strange when you have all the symptoms! I really hope AF arrived for you soon, the waiting is the worst.

@charl881 I know it's so frustrating. I think AFs going to start in the next day or so if I'm honest. Getting a few cramps this morning! I hope she does. How are you getting on? X

@line123eyesalways I have no AF yet but all the signs! So think it’s going to arrive this morning. My tests won’t be here until later, by then I reckon AF will have arrived so at least I won’t waste them.

Hi all

@MamaSJ15 at least you could get on with yiur next cycle now

@line123eyesalways yh i think it would definetly show a strong positive by now if you werw pregnant, hopefully af wont take too long now

@charl881 i have a feeling af is on her way too any day now starting the cramps😭

@Spark2022 dont mean to get your hopes up but it could well be implantation at 9dpo

@charl881 at least it's not a waste of money!

@MadamMaltesers it definitely would! I just want AF to start so this horrible bloat goes down and I can move into the next cycle! It'll definitely arrive by the end of tomorrow. Im getting quite intense cramps now! X

@MadamMaltesers it could be I suppose, but the exact same thing happened last month so I’ve less hope this time!
