7DPO symptoms - I’m going crazy, anyone else?

[SophT27]

I think I’m going crazy. Last month I had a faint positive which led to a chemical pregnancy. I wasn’t necessarily TTC, but that line made my heart flutter and I felt devastated when AF arrived.

flash forward to now and I’m 7 DPO. Yesterday I had some cramping and some pink spotting. Today I’m still cramping, I also have lower back ache and I have some brown loss on wiping (sorry, I know TMI). This afternoon I felt a little bit nauseous and now I think I’m reading into every, tiny, little thing!

I know it’s too early to test, and also that the chances of this being down to the imminent arrival of AF are high, but I’m finding it hard not to read into things and get my hopes up. Anyone else in a similar boat? would love to chat.

I should probably add that AF is due 4th July my periods are usually on time (give or take a day).

@SophT27 no I don’t usually feel sick in the heat but I’m trying to avoid thinking it’s pregnancy related haha. I do also feel bloated, especially after eating even if it’s only small. God I just want answers for us both! How many days late are you now?

@AJuicyPeach yeah my brain tricks me too, it makes me wonder if because i want it, it’s just giving me symptoms to make me happy! I’m feeling tired, sick and bloated (or at least I think I am haha)

Let us know the outcome of your test. It would be nice to finally get a positive in the thread!

@Fabpinky today is 5 days late officially, but in reality it’s a week since my predicted date AF should arrive. I’m trying so hard not to symptom spot, but it’s bloody difficult when AF hasn’t arrived isn’t it. It’s been a bit easier today being back at work, but still not that easy 😂 I got another couple of cheap tests at lunch, I’ll maybe try one again in the morning and I then have one spare for if AF doesn’t arrive after day 35 of my cycle.

@AJuicyPeach Welcome, come join us. I think we are all first timers here, so any advice would be great 😆 I’m starting to think I could manifest anything as a symptom at this point 🫣 how long have you been TTC baby number 2?

sigh...i felt annoyed by my husband but i hid it...i jokingly made a comment as if im expecting then he asked if i was and i said no im not and that i check every month to make sure...then he went and asked if i was dissappointed in a nonchalant way🙄i swear down men can be so insensitive or is it just mine?

to top it off he knows i dnt feel well and just asked me to do his laundry after that!!

Hi girls, how are yous all today? Sorry to hear your husband is being a bit insensitive there @carsty I'm jealous they are removed from the 2ww and all the madness that goes with it!
Any news from you two @SophT27 @Fabpinky ?
Anymore symptoms today @AJuicyPeach ? Would be lovely to see a BFP here 😊 my AF is very sore and heavy, wonder if my body is still getting back to normal after my MC. This will be my second normal period.

thanks @Dawnymillz, I understand they not go through the actual biological and emotional effects but try and empathise with those who do especially if there is a strong desire to have a child..he also wants to have kids and knows how i really do wish to as soon as possible..we are both in our 30s and no kids as yet...Anyway, I can imagine how sore you must feel im already feeling sore and just want af to hurry up and come already.

@SophT27 @Fabpinky @AJuicyPeach , How are you all today?

@Dawnymillz @carsty
still no AF. Just feeling confused. 8 days late, day 38 of my cycle and no BFP in sight. Will test again Friday I think

@Dawnymillz I’m so sorry you’re having a horrible AF. Hopefully your body is just recovering and you’ll get your BFP soon.

no AF here. Now 6 days late and day 33 of my cycle. I haven’t tested today, but I might test maybe tomorrow morning or Thursday morning, even though it does seem pointless.

In terms of symptoms, I’ve felt nauseous and dizzy and seem to have terrible reflux - but all of that could be the heat. I’ve almost had a meltdown in my driving lesson too which is unlike me.

I think I’m just feeling fed up.

@carsty its difficult isn't it. My OH is very good when I bring it all up but he can forget about it all so quickly. Great being a man haha.
Thank-you @carsty @SophT27 its a rough one, hoping next month is my month😊
So sorry to hear you and @Fabpinky both are waiting, so awful for you. Really hope you get somer answers soon!

@SophT27 your symptoms really seem pregnant related, but i understand other things can present similar. I know this does not help but there have been people who took a while to get a positive result probly causing them not to find out theyre pregnant until months in...so so sorry this is dragging on for you and fabpinky...thanks for keeping us updated on how things are I hope this thread helps in some way with dealing wit this.

Hi everyone, well im out for this month af showed up today albeit a day early.

So I'd put good money on implantation happening right now, I've had very small amounts of brown blood on panty liners I've been wearing the last three days. The blood and gentle cramping stopped yesterday and today I have an on and off, sharp, niggling poking in the same spot.
My breasts are swollen and sore as heck, last night a smell woke me up constantly (it smelled like wood chips but so grossly strong it felt like I was being force fed wood lol.
I've been desperate to feel some sort of undeniable symptoms and I want to celebrate this moment but my dumbass boyfriend chose this evening to blurt out he is "alarmed we haven't had sex in a week and a half".
I spent most of my week with the poops and then cramping and bleeding, what the hell does the guy expect?!
I asked him to leave my house and he did, we are now giving each other the silent treatment. Why does he have to be so selfish at such a poorly timed moment? I feel blue :(

I'd also like to add that I am a victim of multiple serious sexual assaults and I was sex trafficked as a teenager. My bf knows this very well. Sometimes I do struggle to want to have sex but we do it a healthy amount!
He has issues staying hard and I have always been extremely supportive and considerate of his feelings, it's a damn shame he couldn't show me the same courtesy.

If I could delete my list messages I would. I don't know why I reached out on here and derailed your thread.

@AJuicyPeach sounds intense. Hope you're ok and hope you're on a speaking terms with your boyfriend again!

@AJuicyPeach Youve been through a lot and he knows...i hope your feeling better sometimes u have to let out how ur feeling somewhere, better out than in...

Hows everyone doing?

@AJuicyPeach sorry for the late reply, hope you and your bf are doing ok. I'm so sorry to hear about your past experiences, a lot of trauma there for you. Dont be apologising for reaching out here. Anymore pregnancy symptoms for you?
@carsty I'm grand thanks. Just finished my period so not long until tcc time and doing this rollercoaster all over again! How are you?

Hi guys hope you don’t mind me jumping on,I’m new to all this…. Bare with me 😬
mum currently 7-8dpo I presume after positive opk on the 8/9th July. I’ve just done a cheapy test and a frer and I’m sure I’m seeing lines 🥴
surely 7-8dpo is too early for a positive or are these indents? Which I’m presuming they are 😳 any advice or input very welcome ❤️ Thank you xx

@Dawnymillz I too just about finished Af and will hopefully start again with ttc...i told hubby that if he also wants a child we have to dtd during my ov window and even then its not guaranteed...i havent been pushing him to dtd during window as i know what hes like he will not do anything unless he wants to, so I dnt want him to feel forced, but sigh if he knows im just dtd to try and conceive hell probly be less in the mood...i dnt know, how do u all get on with ur partners and are they aware that u are ttc? Are they actively engaging in dtd during ur ov windows and are fine with it?

@Missliannefox did you end up testing again?

hi everyone, how are u all doing?

@carsty hi! I'm doing alright. I'm at 10 dpo and AF due on the 27th.. but no BFP... YET! Lol staying hopeful. How are you?

@Salpforyou im just about entering ovulation window but im away from DH this weekend so wnt have much time to dtd so not sure about this mnth but there is still a possibility

@carsty yea you never know! My best friend got a surprise pregnancy outside of her ovulation window. Just gotta stay hopefully

@Salpforyou yep, will do as anything is possible as the human body is not always straight forward.

I hope everyone else is ok?
