Silly Symptom Spotting

[positiveovernegative]

Opinions needed. Driving my self insane.
I'm cycle day 17 today and was expecting to get my peak but no such luck. I had EWCM Cycle day 9 which I thought was too early for ovulation but we dtd anyway just in case.
I have nausea, tender boobs and woke up last night in a cold sweat so my hormones are definitely doing something. I had spotting for two days cycle day 13,14.
Please tell me I'm not the only one who would be thinking I could possibly be pregnant. Logical rational me knows it's likely due to my peak being right around the corner but I can't help but convince myself it must be pregnancy hormones 🤦🏻‍♀️

@ButterflyBailey how are you ? Did you test?x

@Km12345 Good afternoon
I'm alright, I am planning to test with FMU tomorrow morning. I had been planning to this morning but didn't have the test ready. How are you? Has AF started for you? x

@Km12345 When you tested which brand did you use? I have MomMed and First Response left. I'm going to use both to be sure xx

@ButterflyBailey when I tested yesterday I used se pharmacy own brand as that's all there was 🤦‍♀️ but when I tested previously I used clear blue and first response.

Still no proper AF . One more bit of light spotting 🤷‍♀️x x

@Km12345 I have the tests all ready for the morning xx

@ButterflyBailey wishing you luck!! Xx

@Km12345 Negative xx

@ButterflyBailey oh no , sorry to hear that 😢 maybe next month is for us!

Out of curiosity, have you had the covid vaccine? I'm starting to think that's what's messing around with my cycles ! X

Yes, fingers crossed for next month. I have had both vaccinations but early on as I'm high risk xx

Hey ladies just catching up here.
@Km12345 did your AF show?
@ButterflyBailey sorry about the negative tests did AF ever show?

I stopped testing for ovulation when I went away so no idea if I ever ovulated or not but I just did my first strip ovulation test as normally use digital and this is the result. Seems pretty dark? What you ladies think?

@positiveovernegative I do think your test looks quite dark but might not say it's peak ovulation yet. I haven't taken any myself but have seen a lot xx

Did a FRER don't know why, is there a line or do I have line eyes?

@positiveovernegative yep my AF made a show:( so I'm going to try and push all symptoms to the back of my mind next month!!

And I definitely think I can see something in the FRER test!

@positiveovernegative I don't trust First Response from past experiences. For a FRER to be positive to me it needs to be obvious. I'd definitely try another brand though. I have been recommended boots own brand if you are in the Uk. Fingers crossed that you do get your BFP! Keep us updated xxx

@ButterflyBailey thanks I'll try another brand in a few days if AF is a no show

@positiveovernegative @Km12345

How are you both? Has anyone had any luck with pregnancy tests this month? xx

AF came yesterday 😥xx

@ButterflyBailey not long finished my AF 😥 going to try and not even think about it this month! And definitely going to try and not look for symptoms! As they are clearly all in my head or just PMS . How are you ?

@positiveovernegative I'm sorry to hear that it came. Best of luck for this month and I have my fingers crossed x
@Km12345
I'm fine thank you, I have had EWCM for the past couple of days. I think it's definitely best not to symptom spot though so I'm not reading anything into it. Fingers crossed that this is your month!
I hope we all get our positives soon xx

@ButterflyBailey fingers crossed for you this month as well!! Hopefully there will be a few more positives on this thread

@ButterflyBailey Thankyou hun.
On the bright side my period has been much lighter less painful and seems to have tapered almost to nothing now 🙌🏻
Looking ahead at getting to my next fertile window.
Lots of luck to us all this cycle ✨

How are you ladies? I am tempted to test tomorrow. Part of me says there's no point but another part thinks that there is. Have either of you had pregnancies before? I have such a sore and tender breast it's really noticeable and so achy. I don't know what to think really. I may just try an IC and nothing expensive if I do test xxx

Another thing is I have had EWCM but convinced that was just ovulation. Any ideas? @positiveovernegative @Km12345

@ButterflyBailey I did have sore breasts early in my first pregnancy but since then I have then on and off during different points in my cycle. It depends what your normal symptoms are like and even then only a test can tell. 🤞🏽 for you xx

I'm also noticing nipple discharge and my breasts are now painful. Yes, I have fingers crossed too 🤞🏻xx How are you? xx
