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).

Very true about mumsnet too @Fabpinky ! Going to wait until Tues to test I think. I ordered some FRER so they should arrive then. Nearly glad to be going to work tomorrow! Let us know how you get on testing tomorrow.

@Dawnymillz Dr Google is a nightmare 🙁🙄 my hubby thinks that because the tests were negative that’s it, we don’t have to think about it anymore 🤣 I wish all men could be a woman for a day.

my pains are still mostly on the one side (the right) with some in the middle. It could be AF, in some respects I now hope it is because I have fallen down a rabbit hole of 50+ day cycles today and the thought of that scares me.

@Fabpinky if you search long enough you really can find the answers you want, but also the ones you don’t, which makes things 100 times worse because you aren’t closer to a definitive answer. How are you feeling about things after today?

@SophT27 i don’t know how I feel. Not great I just want to be put out of my misery either way. I told my partner that my period is really late and he reacted badly which was what I expected because as I mentioned before, none of this was planned. So at the moment I’m just feeling down about that more then anything

@Fabpinky oh bless you, that’s not what you need at all you poor thing. men are great, but also complete idiots at times aren’t they!

I feel the same as you, I just want to be put out of my misery. I’ve even been googling today if being overweight can delay a BFP 🙈 I actually feel like I’m losing my marbles. Back to work for me tomorrow, so something to take my mind of things anyway.

@SophT27 you just gotta love that mindset, my OH would be the same. 50+ day cycles, that's scary.
@Fabpinky aw lovely so sorry to hear you are feeling down 😔 you just need to know either way now. It's not fair. Your OH will understand in time, remember you have been in this wee bubble for a while and hes only hearing about it. Watch some crap TV and take it easy. I've love island on, can't get more rubbish than that.

@SophT27 @Dawnymillz
i know, thank you. I suppose for us it’s a gradual adjustment, like oh day one no period, day two etc and it just grows with us where as it’s a shock for them. He’s allowed to be shocked/upset but at the end of the day we’re both adults and I didn’t get into this situation on my own. He hasn’t been horrible to me or anything but he’s upset.

yeah I’ve got love island on too! It’s so bad it’s good

@Fabpinky yeah not to mention the days post ovulation where we analyse every wee twinge 😅They are spared that torture.
Aw he will be fine, just initial shock. He will come around when that wares off I'm sure.
Love Island great isn't it haha.

@Dawnymillz @SophT27 BFN this morning

@Fabpinky 😔 hope you are ok. I've woke up with terrible cramps and spotting, AF deffo on route.

@Dawnymillz im fine just confused as I’m now day 37.

oh no, I’m sorry. Any chance they could be implantation?

@Fabpinky I'm confused for you too 😔 hope all ok with OH too.
Is it a bit late for implantation? The cramps are very similar to AF so likely its it.

Morning all, @Fabpinky so sorry about your partners reaction, hopefully with some time he will settle and be in a better mind set and more supportive whatever the outcome...@SophT27 and @Fabpinky, I pray you both soon get answers regarding delayed AF or possible BFP. @Dawnymillz im similar to you, been having af like cramps and also had headache...today, sorry for tmi i have been having diarr...luckily im working from home, but not been feeling well at all since morning... boobs a bit tender but normal for me as a pms symptom. I also did tests on dpo 9 n 10, which were ofcourse bfns...One day soon we will all get our bfps and get through this...

@carsty thank you. When is your AF due?

@Fabpinky this thursday.

@Dawnymillz you aren’t out of the game until AF arrives in full force, but I’m sorry that you’re feeling pants.

@Fabpinky sorry you’ve had another BFN. I haven’t tested again this morning but still no AF here. I don’t feel 100% at all and if I hadn’t had the BFN yesterday morning I would still be thinking I was pregnant I think. How are you feeling in yourself this morning? Today is registering as 5 days late for AF on Flo, so I might test again tomorrow but it seems pointless.

@carsty thank you. It is very frustrating not having answers, I’m sure @Fabpinky will agree with me. This is certainly my longest cycle (currently day 32).

Well that's me out now girls, AF most definitely has arrived 😔 ah well, I feel lucky that I have answer and feel so sorry for you girls in unknown land. Really hope yous get some answers soon!

@Dawnymillz oh I’m sorry to hear that. Better luck for your next cycle.

@SophT27 i feel a bit sick and feel like everything smells horrible, but both of those things could be down to the heat! I feel like just giving up now and waiting for AF. How do you feel?

Hi everyone, I hope you don't mind me slipping in here, it just seems like such a lovely thread and I'm also currently enduring the TTW.
I'm currently on 6dpo and my patience is being tested
I've had a few symptoms but I'm trying to not pay attention to them until I see that second line x

@Dawnymillz sorry to hear but as you said its gud to know where u stand...hopefully u will get ur bfp the next cycle. I feel i will also be joining u when af shows her unfriendly red head in a couple of days...i feel so horrible trying my best to get work done and enduring these pains and discomfort hope i dnt have food poisoning!

Hi there @AJuicyPeach

@AJuicyPeach its so hard not to pay attention to them though isn’t it! Are you going to test early or will you wait until you miss your period?

Thanks girls @Fabpinky @carsty hopeful for my next cycle. We are on holiday during ovulation time so should be fun 😊 hope AF doesn't arrive for you @carsty
Welcome @AJuicyPeach good luck to you!

Oh it's the worst! But my brain tricks me so badly I don't trust it. I think my partner is noticing things too though, he's started treating me like I'm a delicate bomb haha.
As for testing, I think I will test on 8dpo, purely because I got a very faint positive with my dd then so fingers crossed I'll see another hint of a human!

How are you doing today? I don't think the heat helps us ladies in our current waits x

Sorry! @Fabpinky I forgot to tag you lol

@Dawnymillz I’m sorry to hear that. Best of luck for your next cycle, hopefully it will be the one. I feel I will be joining you soon:

@Fabpinky I have horrific reflux today (which I never suffer with) and I feel knackered. But it could be the heat. On another note, today is the first day in just over 2 weeks I haven’t had terrible aches in my pelvis, maybe that means AF will come now imminently. Who knows now.

do you normally feel sick in the heat?
