5/6 DPO and symptom spotting….who’s with me?!

[Littlebun1]

This will be our 21st cycle TTC….long time. In that I’ve had two PULs that both naturally passed at 6 weeks. One in January 2021 and another in September just gone, I’ve had one period since and now praying I’m pregnant this month.

Don’t know if my mind is playing tricks on me or if I’m experiencing the same symptoms as my last pregnancy, really gassy (both ends) and having night sweats…and I’m suuuure my nipples are more sensitive but this could also be down to the freezing weather!

Any one else out there driving themselves mad and desperate for the day they can start testing?!

@Charl881 I'm exactly the same!! Fingers crossed for those BFPs!! Have you tested yet?

@Curlywurly3 so strange that they are saying it's negative/inconclusive when there is so clearly a line! I've had dodgy evaps and that is way darker than they have ever been!

@Curlywurly3 congratulations 🥳
@Littlebun1 I don't avoid them 😉

9DPO today, FRER arriving tomorrow. Major twinges/cramps today 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻

Congratulations @Curlywurly3! Looks positive to me.

I think I’m 9 days PO now. Have started feeling really nauseous and bloated this afternoon but I think it’s more likely I’ve caught the stomach bug going around, hoping not. Still poking my boobs but nothing 😂
Going to test tomorrow but then will hold off until Sunday/Monday when period should be due. Or at least that’s my intention!

@Littlebun1 yes I have, this morning, but BFN. Not overly surprised as I’m 8dpo at the earliest and we only DTD twice during my fertile window this month. Will probably test on a cheapy every day now until Sunday when AF is due 🙈

Disaster strikes...I'm out of tests!! Maybe a good thing...I only convince myself it's too early after each BFN anyway and then I'm always shocked when I get my period 😂

@Charl881 doesn't necessarily mean you're out! On my last pregnancy I only DTD once in the whole month as OH was away (compared to when I'm actively trying and doing it every other day) and ended up getting a BFP. Wasn't a sticky bean sadly but shocked me that of all times for it to happen it was that one time!

Hi everyone,

Can I jump on board too please .

Think I'm 8 or 9 dpo, had a negative FRER today which wasn't really a surprise given AF isn't due till next Tues, 7th Dec. I've been getting lower backache the last few days, but nothing else out of the ordinary so not sure if that's just a coincidence.

We've been ttc since my miscarriage in May earlier this year. Hoping everyone gets the babies they are longing for and for those in the same boat as us, the rainbow babies we are all so desperate for xx

Welcome @GirlMama21 ☺️

Sorry to hear about your loss! I know the feeling of so desperately wanting to get pregnant after it! I've got everything crossed for us all this month. It's so nice to talk to people going through the same thing💕! Feels so isolating sometimes!!

Woke up this morning with a sore throat and having shooting pains in my boobs but I don't know if that's just af letting me know she's on her way to ruin my month! Hate that the symptoms are so similar! Anyone having any unusual symptoms?

I forgot to mention in my last post, congratulations @Curlywurly3, hope you have a safe and healthy pregnancy 💕.

I know @Littlebun1, it's upsetting to read about everyone's losses, but at the same time it is comforting to know we're all in this together ❤.

Last month I was convinced I might be pregnant because my boobs felt sensitive, but think it was just AF symptoms as obviously wasn't pregnant! So this time round I am ignoring the what I think are slightly more sore boobs than usual. One of my biggest signs before getting a bfp in the past is a heightened sense of smell, but can't really depend on that one as we had covid back in September- despite being double jabbed 🙈- and I still haven't got my sense of smell back properly. Guess it's just a waiting game. I'm trying to hold off testing again until tomorrow or ideally Friday. What about you @Littlebun1 and everyone else far enough to test?

Hi @GirlMama21 👋
I tested this morning 9/10DPO and go this 😣 I know it's still early days but yesterday I had very noticeable pulling and twinging ALL day, thinking it was implantation. So I just expected to see something 🤦🏻‍♀️
Fingers crossed for you!! I might test Fri now. AF due Sat/Sun.

More tests have just been delivered so I'll be testing tomorrow morning!! We're not out yet @WhatTheEll !! I'm definitely clinging on to every twinge and shooting pain.

Have any of you had creamy cm? Feel like I'm getting more this month!

Xx

@Littlebun1 creamy CM is GOOOOOD! No I haven't had any. Tiny bit of pink/brown CM but thought that was from yesterdays cramping. Who the F knows at this point?! I'm over it lol xx

@WhatTheEll surely brown/pink is better?! Implantation bleeding?! 🤞🏻

Yeah at this point in the TWW I flip between obsessed and fuck this it's not worth it 😂

X

@Littlebun1 you'd think so, but that's usually how AF starts 😭
I'm the same, flip between "yes I'm pregnant!" to "Not pregnant so can drink loads of wine" 🤣🤣 xx

I got a BFN on a cheapy this morning. Ordered some FRERs which were due to be delivered Friday but they’ve just arrived now. Can I resist the temptation and wait until Friday 🙈🙈 Only 9dpo I think.

@Charl881 if you resist you're way stronger than me...can't stop myself! Even though my OH gets so annoyed because I'm grumpy and down when it turns out to be a BFN at 5DPO 😂 let us know how you get on!!

@WhatTheEll I've drank so much wine this month...it's the festive season and the red wine by a fire is too comforting to resist! I know the guilt is going to kick in if that test turns into a BFP!!

X

Tested BFN again today at 11DPO (three days to AF) on a cheapie. I'm fed up now and have mentally given up! The obsession is driving me batshit, I've gotta let it go before I explode lol 🤣

@Littlebun1 I am not strong, did not resist, BFN. Will save the other one for the weekend though when AF is due and stick to cheapies

@lettyloulou I know exactly how you feel. I just wish someone could take this POAs addiction / obsession away from me and I could just wait until AF is due like normal people.

Ok so I'm going mad and need your help! Just took a cb early detection and it went stark white but at the very top of the window a blue line has appeared...it doesn't go all the way down. Not sure if any of you can see it in the picture but it's definitely there. Any of you had that before? X

Not sure if this picture is any clearer!

@Littlebun1

Not sure if this picture is any clearer!

Oh hun I wouldn't like to comment either way with Clear Blues. How many DPO are you? If it was literally any other test I'd be bouncing off the walls for you 😍 but these are gits for evap lines.

I've attached my Clear Blue BFP from April this year (ended in mc); but this is 4 days late for AF and giving up trying so first test I thought to do.

Can you get a pink dye test? First Response? Or; I hear from multiple sources that the Coop own brand tests are good? 💕

@Littlebun1 that said, the second photo looks kinda promising! Get yourself a FRER and report back pleeeease 😍😂 xx

Hi guys can I tag on the post? I’m 9dpo and dtd 5 days before ovulation. I’m symptom spotting and think I need therapy from the amount of pregnancy tests I’ve bought..all BFN. Anyone had a BFP when dtd 5 days before? Sending lots of baby dust xx

@Littlebun1 second pic looks good!!! 👀 👏🏻😍

Thanks for all your responses! I've just taken another test and same thing has happened again...BFN and then 20 mins later a vvvf line appears. Read up online and apparently it's common with CB 😫😫 I've never had that before with them though!!

10dpo now and feel like it would definitely have come up straight away if I was pregnant. Think I'm just going to accept the fact I'm probably not this month!

How are you all doing? X

Top test is from last night, bottom is from this morning 😔
