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

SophT27 · 26/06/2022 19:09

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).

@Fabpinky not till the weekend.

I think I’m going to have to bite the bullet and get a test if AF doesn’t arrive by tomorrow/Thursday. If it’s negative, then it’s negative, but then I won’t be stressed and hopefully things with my body can get back to normal.

and it it’s a BPF… well hell knows 🤣 probably still be anxious and worried about everything little symptom.

I still feel nauseous, but I did have a big dinner, but I felt nauseous before too.

@SophT27 what day of your cycle are you and how long are your cycles on average?

SophT27 · 05/07/2022 21:58

@Fabpinky i’m on day 26 and my cycles are usually 22-24 days on average. I can usually set my clock to Flo. If it tells me AF is arriving, it generally does.

this could just be late. I’m so on edge.

I know you said you can have 34 day cycles. What day are you on?

Fabpinky · 05/07/2022 22:11

@SophT27 id be so tempted to test if I were you then!!

My cycles have ranged from 26-34 since I came off the pill in October. My last two were 26 days and the one before that was 34. I’m now day 31. This is why I’m holding off testing because my cycles are so erratic! It’s frustrating

SophT27 · 05/07/2022 22:25

@Fabpinky

i’m going to have to test again soon or I’ll go out of my mind I think. I feel a bit nervous too as the last test I did was a BFN and that was the end of last week.

when do you think you’ll test?

OP posts:
Fabpinky · 05/07/2022 22:34

@SophT27 I think I’ll test Sunday if no AF

Dawnymillz · 06/07/2022 07:44

Hey girls, just catching up. Was at the cinema last night. Good to take my mind off everything 😅 @SophT27 I would be so tempted to test if I was you! Your symptoms do sound very positive. Hoping for that BFP 🤞🏻 I'm also in the nausea camp with yous, although I can sometimes feel nauseous around AF so who knows! Crampy yesterday and feeling really strange (dizzy, weird pains down legs and on hip and feeling cold - nearly thought I had covid again). Are they possible symptoms??

SophT27 · 06/07/2022 07:52

@Dawnymillz I hope you had a lovely time at the cinema.

nausea, dizziness and cramping are possible symptoms for sure (because I’ve googled them 🤣). so that does all sound pretty positive. When do you think you’ll test now?

I think I’m going to have to bite the bullet, but I do feel nervous about it all.

I think I’m just worried that I’m so anxious it has manifested the symptoms and delayed AF and that really it could be all too good to be true. If that even makes sense??

Fabpinky · 06/07/2022 07:55

@SophT27 i definitely know what you mean about anxiety manifesting the symptoms! I feel silly to even think I could be preg.

no AF here

Bre10 · 06/07/2022 07:57

Hey ladies feel so invested afyr reading your post. Hope you are pregnant, rooting for you

pcosandme.x · 06/07/2022 08:07

No af here either👀🩸

Fabpinky · 06/07/2022 08:12

@Bre10 thank you, are you trying?

SophT27 · 06/07/2022 09:14

Thank you @Bre10 are you TTC?

@Fabpinky @pcosandme.x @Dawnymillz no AF for me again this morning but I still have that dull, crampy pain in my tummy and now cycle day 27.

Dawnymillz · 06/07/2022 09:17

Lovely time at the cinema thanks! Haha googling is the worst isn't it, everything is a symptom! 😅 @SophT27 I think you might have to, please let us know how you get on! I still think I'm going to hold off until a couple of days after AF is due (as hard as that is...). Definitely agree with you both about anxiety related symptoms!!

SophT27 · 06/07/2022 09:32

Do you think I should wait until after day 28? Just in case I’ve switched to a 28 day cycle? @Dawnymillz

OP posts:
Fabpinky · 06/07/2022 09:44

How long have you had a 22-24 day cycle for? @SophT27

SophT27 · 06/07/2022 11:47

@Fabpinky i’ve only been using Flo for 6 months and I’ve only been off contraception for about 9 months, so I don’t know before then, but the last 5 months have been in that time frame.

OP posts:
Fabpinky · 06/07/2022 11:59

@SophT27 ohh I see. I’d probably wait a few more days. It’s just so hard!

Dawnymillz · 06/07/2022 14:08

Yeah I would agree with @Fabpinky , wait a wee bit longer just to be sure. It's so hard though!! Girls I have stronger symptoms today and getting excited, dizzy, hunger and nausea at the same time, cramps and the metallic taste in my mouth. Hope this is it for us!

Fabpinky · 06/07/2022 14:15

@Dawnymillz @SophT27 surely at least one of us has got to be pregnant?! 😂 yeah I’m feeling really sick today and tired, keep cat napping, but keep wondering if I’m imaging it haha

Dawnymillz · 06/07/2022 14:23

@Fabpinky @SophT27 😂😂 you would like to think so!! Hoping to see the BFP pics from all 3 of us 🤗
It would be strange to feel randomly tired, I mean the weather isn't warm/muggy to make you feel sleepy. Well it isn't in Ireland anyway 😅

SophT27 · 06/07/2022 15:42

@Dawnymillz that sounds really positive and I’m keeping everything crossed for you. I will be so excited for you if you are.

@Fabpinky it sounds like a BFP is coming your way too!

I feel exhausted today, but it’s hot and muggy where we are. I feel non-specifically like s**t though. I could just cry today. I feel headachy and dizzy predominantly I would say.

But, my cramps are nowhere near as bad today as they were yesterday and I’ve had the tiniest, I mean minuscule, amount of brown spotting.

I think it’s all getting to me. I can’t stop thinking about the what ifs.

Oh op, i am weirdly invested in your post. Can't wait for you to test. Wishing you luck xx

Dawnymillz · 06/07/2022 16:27

@SophT27 your symptoms sounds very positive too! You just want to know at this stage dont you. When are you back from hols? How many days after AF due date does Flo say you should test? Manifesting those BFPs 😁

Has anyone experienced white stretchy cervical mucus one minute and then clear stretchy mucus the next? 5 dpo
