7dpo - trying to keep myself distracted!

[beanchopper17]

Why is the 2 week wait so long 😂

7dpo and desperately trying not to symptom spot, but some lower cramps are becoming hard to ignore 🙈

Anyone else want to ignore symptoms with me (and by ignore I mean talk about them openly with no judgement 😂)

It's my birthday this weekend and would love a surprise guest!

Hey I’m between 7&9dpo - not 100% sure, but I had cramps yesterday and today and I’m just not sure whether these are positive or negative signs 😰 can’t remember if I had them with my 1&2 pregnancies. So far I fell asleep early last night, napped today and generally feel exhausted. How about you? Have you tested yet? X

@Leeleejaney I have my fingers crossed for you 🤞🏻 that all sounds promising (I know it's hard to over analysis everything).

I did test this morning (9dpo) cause I have been feeing generally grotty but I am also covid testing as someone I met up with at the weekend told me yest they tested positive, sooooo knowing my luck it's covid 😂 (they were both negative this morning).

Not sure if I will have time to test tomorrow 🤷🏼‍♀️

When do you think you will test, or do you have self control to wait till late period?

Oh no! I hope you continue to be negative with covid. Had it last Christmas and although wasn’t much more than the flu, it was hard to isolate at Christmas time watching everyone out having fun.

Sorry to hear of your negative pregnancy test. I tested today too, BFN on clear blue - although some shadow could be evap, I’m not entirely sure when I ovulated too which is frustrating. Using the Flo app and it states 9th-15th is my “chance to get pregnant” with 13th as ovulation day. But I think I ovulated on Monday 11th as (tmi) has a bush of clear, watery discharge that went through my shorts. So I’m either 8 or 10dpo.

I’m due on 28th and I’m so regular with 28 day cycle. But I’ll test with frer on Saturday I think! I keep trying to take my mind off things but I’m so tired, boobs hurt and my cramps are dull but achy. The most frustrating thing is my bloat, haven’t put on weight it’s just like a pot belly! I have 2 kids and I’m a size 8. I look 12-14 weeks pregnant 🥲 x

P.s I’m literally symptom spotting everything all the time it’s annoying me that I’m doing it 🤣 my veins in my boobs and arms have come up blue and the arm vein is raised… I’m like IM PREGNANT SURELY 🤣🤣🤣

@Leeleejaney thank you, it would suck to have it as I have managed to go with out up to now (well I tested positive in feb but I had no symptoms, it was very odd)!

Oh no over Christmas must of been a proper pain! Especially as this was like the first Christmas there was a little more freedom.

Wow your so lucky to have regular cycles, mine are all over the place, anywhere from 30-120 days 🤦🏼‍♀️ I have pcos and under active thyroid, so makes it hard to tell!

Do you use ovulation strips? Maybe it might help u pin point when u ovulate so u know ur lateral phase?

I am due the 27th, it's my bday this Saturday so would love an extra guest at my garden party but trying not to get my hopes up!

Hii, I wish I had of spotted your thread before I posted mine, I feel exactly the same! Now 10dpo and symptom spotting like crazy, veiny sore boobs, metallic taste, cramping etc. I did some tests in the past couple of days but were all negative. Got some more tests coming today which I will probably use until AF appears (hopefully I will see a bfp instead!) sending baby dust ✨

Morning ladies, period due in 5 days so took a frer. BFN 😭 won’t be testing now until a missed period, or until Aunt Flo visits. Good luck girlies xx

Hey!!

I'm now in the TWW 🙈 but only literally as of today so no symptoms yet but I know I'm gunna be spotting things like a hawk haha!!

Well I caved and tested yest morning (cause I wanted to drink for my bday) and tested today as well, both negative (shocking!) and luckily my covid tests have been negative too 🎉

I am due tues/weds, cramps have fully stopped but still feeling grotty, so only a couple more days to wait.

How you all doing, all managing to keep distracted? I am thinking a movie night, stuffing my face with left over puddings is my plan tonight!

Hi all, gahhh annoying about the bfn! Hope you’re not feeling too down?

4dpo here, I find the first week is okay but it’s the second week that’s really tough. I’m determined to wait until my period is late this time, by a few days, as I can’t face the disappointment/confusion of a negative test but still wondering whether it’s too early, more tests etc. So 6th August for me, which would be CD30 - my cycle is never more than 28 days, so if no AF by then I’ll feel I’m in with a good shot.

Im only on cycle 2 but DD was conceived first month, which has given me unrealistic expectations I think.

Ahh @bebeanchopper17 sorry about the BFN, how are you feeling? It may be too early as you said. Glad covid is negative!

All my cramps have stopped too, no spotting etc and period due on Thursday. Tested with a cheapy strip this morning, hate them because I end up squinting for so long trying to see something, one clear blue left so will use that day of period due if she hasn’t come. 2 frers left so will do one Tuesday and one after period due. Good luck all! ❤️ Xxx

Hello, don’t know if anyone is still here. So today I started spotting brown discharge, some streaks of blood, no need for a pad just been there the past few toilet trips.

I’m confused, because:

9,10,11 we had sex.
Fertile window on Flo was 9-15
Ovulation day was 13th

Surely this would be super late for implantation? I tested this morning before spotting and was negative, clear as day BFN.

It’s 3 days until my period, 28th it’s due. Must be my period just a bit early and almost none existent as it’s mostly browny discharge. Can’t imagine it being implantation 12dpo.

How are you guys doing? First month of trying and tracking, however with my other 2 pregnancies (now 7&5) I did no planning - was far less stressful 😂😅

@Leeleejaney implantation can happen between 4-14 dpo hence some people get later positives than others. Also I some times spot in the days running up to my period, so it's very true all pregnancy and period symptoms are very similar 🤦🏼‍♀️

Well I have had no pre period cues, like I said I usually spot and have major cramps in the day or 2 before period but nothing. It should be here tomorrow so we shall see. I did test today (not first wee as didn't have time, it was this evening after a 4hour hold) and it was negative.

It's all a waiting game!

Hi ladies how are you doing? xx

I am confused.com! I was expecting period to turn up by now (still no pre symptoms) and still negative tests 🤷🏼‍♀️

I bet it turns up tomorrow when I have to be in the office, I hate it when your caught out and about!

Anyone have any updates?
