8DPO and loosing my marbles

104 replies

I'm currently 8DPO... been trying since Feb this year.
Got pregnant on our first try in February but that ended in a chemical 😢
I'm now 8DPO and getting all the same signs as I did the first time around...
Sore nipples, spotty face, strong cramps mostly at night 🙈

Trying so hard to hold of testing until Saturday which is when my period is due 🤞🏻🙈
Anyone else resisting the urge to test 🤣

Hello @monkeyy97 same boat as you!! My period is due Saturday!! Although I'm worried it may be a bit later due to odd cycle ! I've caved and already taken tests even though I know it's to early!!

Been getting odd symptoms though and not sure if just PMS or very early pregnancy!

Fingers crossed for you!

Hi both, yep same - currently 9dpo according to app but I think I am 10dpo due to tracking ovulation pains. Just going by app at the mo and not using OPKs. Period due Monday and I know by Fri/Sat i be desperate to test!

Hey both!

I'm getting lots of AF like pains, Hoping it's not on its way...

Although I never get sore boobs with my periods so hopefully that's a good sign! 🤞🏻

Me too! I'm also 8dpo and yesterday had some brown spotting... Last time that happened was in May when I had a chemical 💔 been trying for our first for about 18 months now so really hoping this month is it! Not sure I will be able to resist testing tomorrow morning.. 😬 fingers crossed for all of you!

Km12345 · 17/08/2021 15:51

When I was pregnant with my 1st I had some bleeding very early on, as well as brown spotting sometimes! So it may be part of the process for you! Fingers crossed for you!

I'm sure my AF Saturday, I've taken a few tests which are all negative so far so I don't think it's happening for me this month :( I said I wouldn't test today but I just couldn't resist buying one when I went to the shop!

OoFaithoO · 17/08/2021 16:59

With you all too… 9DPO. Absolutely no symptoms, although extra spotty (lovely!). Absolutely convinced myself last cycle and af late by 6 days for the first time ever. Don’t think it was a chemical as never got a whiff of a bfp.

Anyway, here with you ladies… just waiting it out until af due next Monday. Cheers Brew

Ckhw · 18/08/2021 12:45

Any updates ladies? 🙏

@monkeyy97 9dpo here too🙃 af due Sunday! Slowly going insane 🤣

dogmum02 · 18/08/2021 14:48

Does anyone actually have any symptoms? I had really sharp pains yesterday on my right side but have not had anything else. Wasn't sure if the pains were even a symptom but I haven't had them any other cycle so I stupidly started getting hopeful 😂

Km12345 · 18/08/2021 14:50

I've been having some symptoms, nausea, aches in lower abdomen, back ache , tiredness, yellow discharge . Although these could all just be PMS

@dogmum02

Yes I have very low cramping which is worst at night..
very sore boobs
Waves of sickness and I'm super tired more so than usual
But these could be AF signs also so hoping it's not 🙈

@Km12345
I'm having similar to you

OP posts:
Km12345 · 18/08/2021 17:31

@monkeyy97 did another test as the symptoms kept coming and I consent resist was negative again 😥 period due due 3 days so I'm assuming this is just my AF symptoms

BFN this morning. I think I'm out now until next month. Sending baby dust 🥰

AquaVitae89 · 18/08/2021 22:25

I’ve only had two random sudden nausea…10dpo and BFN today (couldn’t resist testing!) I think I might wait it out until AF now. I keep thinking I’m out this month because I feel like everyone is getting their BFPs around 9-10dpo…silly I know
