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).

@Fabpinky I think I’m maybe doing that too. Staying in the what it bubble is better than the possibility of a BFN.

I’ll have to bite the bullet at some point, but at least by waiting till the weekend it gives AF a chance to arrive late without the disappointment of one line on the test.

@SophT27 @Fabpinky ah girls you definitely cant disregard the fact AF isn't here yet. Totally understand the living in the what if bubble. Really hoping you both get BFPs this weekend 🤗
My OH woke up saying hes not feeling great, nauseous etc so maybe my symptoms are a bug or maybe he is also pregnant haha.

@Dawnymillz ah no my fingers are still crossed for your AF to not arrive

no sign of AF for me, how about you @SophT27

@Dawnymillz if you’d had a bug, you would have known and probably been vomiting. How is he feeling now? And how are you feeling? I’m really keeping everything crossed for you that you get a BFP this month.

@Fabpinky still no AF here either. When are your tests supposed to be arriving? How are you feeling today?

@SophT27 my FRER are arriving tomorrow. I caved and bought a cheap one. It’s negative. It wasn’t FMU but I thought if I’m really 4 days late as Flo says, it might show not with FMU

@Fabpinky I’ve just done the same thing. Got home, went and used my last test and BFN.

I now don’t know whether to wait and see if AF comes or whether to buy more and use it with FMU.

I’m currently trying to not feel sad or disheartened. How are you feeling?

@SophT27 have you got none left? I’ve got one more cheap one that I’ll use tomorrow FMU but my FRER probably won’t arrive in time for FMU so I’ll do that Sunday. I guess we just have to wait for AF now, so strange though that it hasn’t come for both of us

@SophT27 yeah I’m trying to be neutral but it’s hard not to be disappointed

@Fabpinky none left at all.

if I do manage to get something tomorrow, I’ll have to wait until Sunday morning. I’m disappointed and also now mega confused as I am so regular! This is very out of character for me.

@SophT27 unless you save your FMU then dip?

@Fabpinky thats a good idea.

I don’t know if I can face testing tomorrow now. It sounds really stupid, but I don’t think I’m ready to look at another BFN.

will you keep me updated?

@SophT27 yeah I exactly how you feel. Yes I will! And you keep me updated too

@SophT27 @Fabpinky ah girls how are you both feeling? So hard to see those but still doesn't explain the late AF, especially when so not normal for you. I'm sure it will be hard to test again, really feel for yous. What is FMU? Sorry thought I knew most acronyms at this stage! Hoping for positive updates girls. x

@Dawnymillz thank you. FMU is first morning urine

@Fabpinky thank-you 😊do you think tomorrow or Sunday (when AF is due) is too early for me to test? Should I wait a few more days?

@Dawnymillz what kind of test do you have, and how many? I’ve seen lots of people get positives on frer a few days before their due date, so you could test tomorrow! But getting a negative and thinking “yeah but what if..?” Is sooooooo frustrating. I suppose it depends how patient you are! Is your period usually like clockwork?

@Fabpinky I have a couple of the clear blue 6 days early ones. Yeah you're totally right, it would be better to wait it out until your result is accurate! I had previously said I would wait until Tues. Yeah I can literally count on Flo, period comes on the day predicted.

@Dawnymillz i mean if you’ve got a few, doing one tomorrow won’t leave you short for Sunday/Monday… I’d be so tempted!

@Fabpinky trueee! So tempting! Wish there was an off switch. I was shopping with my sister today and found myself looking at all the wee baby bits in Avoca, thinking the what ifs. So cute!

@Dawnymillz stop 😂I’ve mentally planned my baby shower 😂😂😂

@Fabpinky Haha I love it! 🤗don't get me started on the list of baby names secretary stored on my phone...

@Dawnymillz hahaha I’ve had that for years!

@Fabpinky tbf so have I, I just add to it regularly and delete the names I don't like anymore when I meet someone I don't like with the same name 😂

@Dawnymillz @SophT27 Perhaps I’m clutching at straws but, I read online that if you don’t know when you ovulated, you should test 21 days after you DTD. Which for me was only 12 days ago….who knows?! The waiting game is so frustrating

@Fabpinky oh really? That is interesting! The waiting game is terrible. I was tempted but think I'm going to wait it out until Tues. At least I will know for sure.
