Anyone else 8DPO?

I have regular 28 day cycles and pretty sure I am 7 or 8 DPO... very difficult to pinpoint exactly!

I had some spotting around 3DPO, and since Sunday I have been experiencing random twinges and cramps on and off. On my right side I've got a specific part of my back that keeps 'twinging' and the same place on my front is tender to the touch. I've also been having pulling sensations both sides! I hope I'm not just imagining it, these symptoms feel very similar to my last pregnancy...

I tested using some early tests from Amazon and got a BFN... Hoping it is too early, and I'm not out, thinking about getting some FRER's tomorrow!

Is anyone else around the same point as me in their cycle?!

I cracked and took another test this morning. Another BFN. I think I am 8 DPO or 9 DPO now. With my previous pregnancies I've always got positives early - but that's with FRER - I've been trying a different Amazon test which says it is 6 days early on the advert but on the booklet inside the test it says from the day of your missed period. Bizarre!

Still having the same cramps this morning, it's almost constant in my back now. Will get some FRERs today!

Hey!

I’m 10dpo and I’m really hoping this month we get some good news. I’ve been driving myself mad with all the research I’ve done online, I thought I would find a chat like this to actually speak to someone going through it too!

I’ve had some symptoms but I‘m too scared to test yet, another month of facing a BFN will put me on such a downer.

wishing you all the best this month too! X

Hello, going to jump in if that's ok! I'm currently 8DPO - I don't chart/temp or anything, this is just purely from the Flo app. 3rd month trying after a MMC last November. I've been trying to be relaxed this month but obviously I can't help but symptom spot! From 5dpo I've been soooo constipated, peeing more (I got up twice last night), very slight cramps, lower back pain that comes and goes, mainly on the left, headaches that come and go, boobs a bit sore. The 2WW is the worst! AF due on 14th. Everything crossed that it will be BFPs all round this month!

Charliexo · 07/09/2022 11:04

I'm the same with symptom spotting,

Charliexo · 07/09/2022 11:14

Sorry ladies, I accidentally pressed post before finishing my message.

I'm the same with symptom spotting but I know early pregnancy signs can be similar to pms symptoms, so I'm trying not to get my hopes up or think about them. However, I'm noticing so many strange things.

First inbetween ovulation and now, I've noticed increased discharge, was really milky white but is now clear. Then suddenly I bruise I really easy on my arms and thighs (I know this isn't due to pregnancy but can be due to iron deficiency that can relate to pregnancy) I have an appointment with the doctor on Monday to check that.

Last week I felt constantly bloated. Now this week, I have been having back ache, I'm 5 days away from my period being due and this morning I have been getting hot on and off and feeling nauseous when I do (don't usually have this around the time my period is due) so it makes me wonder.

Again, just don't want to get my hopes up, I'm too scared to test yet as I know it would be a little early to test.

Is anyone else experiencing any of this?

Hey @Charliexo i am also 10dpo and had a bfn on a first response this morning so feeling very deflated. I had a miscarriage in March and with that pregnancy I had a very strong bfp on 10dpo :(

Charliexo · 07/09/2022 11:50

Hey @peonies1988 I'm sorry to hear about your miscarriage and your negative test but please don't give up hope yet, I've read through so many chats recently and a lot of people have had negative until the day their is due and they got a positive.

I have everything crossed for us all x

peonies1988 · 07/09/2022 11:51

Thanks so much @Charliexo when will
you test? xxx

Charliexo · 07/09/2022 12:10

@peonies1988 I think I'm going to wait until the weekend. I did have pinky discharge on Sunday (so sorry for tmi) but if that was implantation bleeding, they say it can take a few days for hcg levels to rise. Xx

peonies1988 · 07/09/2022 12:20

Ooh that’s a really good sign @Charliexo fingers crossed for you xxx

Charliexo · 07/09/2022 12:32

@peonies1988 thank you so much!
Keep us posted with you! Xx

Gregorian1 · 07/09/2022 14:34

I've taken a FRER this afternoon (9DPO) and it's a BFN. I've convinced myself there may be the hint of something there, but I think that's because I know where to look for the indent! Will test again tomorrow with FMU, and if it's still negative I will count myself out this month. I've always had very early positives so I don't see why this month would be different x

peonies1988 · 09/09/2022 09:29

Anyone have any news? Pretty sure I’m out this month. X

Charliexo · 09/09/2022 09:44

@peonies1988 hey!
So I caved and did a cheap yesterday, a BFN, my period was due in 5 days at the time of testing so I'm hoping it was just too early. Xx

peonies1988 · 09/09/2022 11:14

Hey @Charliexo id say that’s definitely too early on a cheapie so don’t fret. Keep us posted and fingers crossed xx

peonies1988 · 10/09/2022 18:37

I had two frer left today, did one around midday but hardly any urine and it was bfn. Then noticed bloody discharge and assumed AF. Just gone again and no blood so did another frer with a held wee and got a vvvv faint line but it did come up immediately. I’m 12 dpo. I’m cautious - think would’ve shown on a frer clearly by now. Will retest tomorrow. Almost worse thinking it could be false hope x

Charliexo · 10/09/2022 18:54

@peonies1988 a line is a line though!! 🥰 I have absolutely everything crossed for you!! 🤞🏻

I'm due AF on Monday, I'll retest then if she doesn't come. Hoping BFP for us both xxx

peonies1988 · 10/09/2022 18:57

Thanks @Charliexo I’m due on Monday too. Fingers crossed for us both too. Keep us posted xxxx

Charliexo · 12/09/2022 12:59

@peonies1988
Hiya! How are you getting on?

I've just taken a test and I feel like I can see a very very faint line but don't know if my eyes are playing tricks on me.

Charliexo · 12/09/2022 13:00

Tried to the take the best photo I could xxx

Anyone else 8DPO?
peonies1988 · 12/09/2022 13:04

Omg @Charliexo i don’t think that’s faint, I can totally see it!!! Yay, congratulations!! How are you feeling? I’m out - AF came this morning! On to the next one xx

Charliexo · 12/09/2022 13:15

@peonies1988
It took over 20 minutes to show the tiniest bit, I'd forgotten about it as I had a parcel delivered and when I went back to throw it away, as I saw it in natural light, I thought I could see something. I've taken about 20 pictures of it as it just wasn't showing on pictures.

I'm just trying not to get my hopes up atm, I'm going to try again in a few days and see if a more defined line comes up 🤞🏻🤞🏻

But thank you so much

😢😢 im so sorry to hear AF has come, I'm absolutely gutted for you, I really wish you all the very of luck next month!! And thank you for being my virtual friend this past week 🥰 xxx

peonies1988 · 12/09/2022 13:21

Ah thank you too ♥️ yeah definitely retest for peace of mind but IMO that’s a bfp. Best of luck xxxxx

Charliexo · 15/09/2022 18:07

@peonies1988 hey!
Looks like my body thought it would play a cruel trick on me, I think AF is making an entrance this evening 😭💔

I have everything crossed for the both of us for this cycle. It's really starting to get me down now xx

peonies1988 · 15/09/2022 18:12

Awww @Charliexo I’m so, so sorry. That’s the cruellest thing. I got a stark red bfp last month then got AF two days later. Must be v early miscarriages. I’m really so sorry, it is so disheartening 💔 go easy on yourself for a few days. We go again 🙌🏻 xxx
