7dpo symptoms

Hi all - looking for anyone who can share their experiences.

I’m currently 7dpo and have had cramping/twinges in lower abdomen since 5dpo. On 5 and 6 dpo I had back pain like sciatica on my left side only. I normally feel ovulation and not implantation - do we think this could be implantation? Has anyone had similar then had a BFP?

I have had 3 early losses and have felt little cramps before but normally later in the cycle. I should point out I ovulated a week later than expected this cycle too.

Anyone out there can share experiences at 7dpo that led to a BFP? And when they got a BFP?

I usually get sore boobs after O but have only had tender nipples for a few days and now there is nothing. I have also dried up almost completely with CM which is unusual. Tried to check my cervix and couldn’t reach it - is this good or bad at this stage? I don’t frequently check I must admit.

Sending lots of love to all those ttc x

Hi op!
I am currently 7dpo, I have really sore boobs/nips and feel extremely nauseous today. Also had cramping and twinges at 5dpo, cramping lasted 1 day but random twinges still noticeable occasionally.

Back in November I fell pregnant (first pregnancy) and I had the same symptoms around the same time po however not as bad as I have currently. I dont recall having the CM until after my BFP. Unfortunately my pregnancy in November was ectopic and we lost the pregnancy in January this year. So in short, yes similar symptoms 7dpo previously and currently.

According to research the shell around the fertilised egg secretes hormones that can trigger nausea from conception which would tally with what I experienced and probably what I am experiencing now?

Hope everything works out for you, do keep us updated and good luck, sending love xx

Hi ladies, I'm 7dpo today and the only symptom is tiredness that I've had since yesterday. It could be unrelated though.

I've already got a DD who I had 4 years ago. At 7-8dpo with that pregnancy I had a stich like pain in my lower back/headaches/tiredness and felt very flushed. I'm not convinced these were pregnancy related though as I hardly had any symptoms through my whole pregnancy so I wonder if I'm just not that reactive to the pregnancy hormone..

tashadae27 · 12/09/2022 15:27

The tiredness has floored me today! Also I do remember (and checked my app) that I had hot flushes last time and have had 2 of these today also. Fingers crossed for bfp's for us :)

vitahelp · 12/09/2022 15:28

I really hope it is a good sign for us! When do you plan to test?

tashadae27 · 12/09/2022 16:42

My app is telling me I can test from Tuesday next week which will be 2 days after my period is due so possibly Monday! What about you?

Geemmm · 12/09/2022 17:50

@tashadae27 sorry to here about ur eptopic girl - sending lots of love!

Ur nausea sounds promising 🤞🏻 when are u gonna test?

@vitahelp tiredness was a biggy in my 2nd pregnancy - literally could have slept all day if it was possible 🙈

Feeling very short tempered today 🙈 have bitten off every head I've spoken to I think 😅! No cramps anymore - really thought I was gonna wake up to AF if it carried on any longer last night. Hoping this is good and it was implantation 🤞🏻. Obviously I tested with a clear blue early today - BFN. I have some FRER coming in the post so hopefully they come tomorrow and I will test the following morning at 10dpo. All my others I haven't gotten a BFP until 12dpo but I can't wait any longer 🤦🏼‍♀️😅

tashadae27 · 12/09/2022 18:21

@Geemmm thanks for your kind words 😘 I understand about the testing I did that with my last pregnancy so now I'm just gonna wait until af due day!
Since this morning I have cried at about 3 different things! Bitten off my DH head and then cried about that! Haha hormones!

vitahelp · 12/09/2022 18:36

I’m going to try and wait until 11dpo (Friday) as that was when I got a bfp last time. But I know I’ll be tempted to test from 9dpo!

tashadae27 · 12/09/2022 19:47

@vitahelp last time I tested at 11dpo and got a BFN then tested 2 days later 13dpo and got my BFP :) so I'm just gonna wait but it'll be so hard! Good luck and let us know how you get on! X

I've got some FRERs in the post too, were meant to come last Saturday! 😭 I'll be 10dpo weds too! The wait is soooooo long! I'm loosing patience 😂

Geemmm · 13/09/2022 17:00

Well I couldn't help myself when they got delivered today 🤦🏼‍♀️ came home from work tested and got a BFN.

tashadae27 · 13/09/2022 18:32

@Geemmm aw don't be disheartened lovely it's probably too soon, if you haven't implanted yet you won't have the hcg hormone. I ordered some more FRER tests as they picked up my last pregnancy before clearblue so I always use those first :)

It's nice that we are all around the same time here, will keep you all updated how I get on - gonna test Monday xx

vitahelp · 13/09/2022 18:37

@Geemmm I’m sorry about your BFN, it may just be too early though. Let us know how it goes if you test again.

@tashadae27 Good luck with testing on Monday! You’re very patient, I’ll definitely give in and test before then.

I’m 8dpo today and feel totally normal, no symptoms, tiredness has now gone. I actually felt really good today and been for a run this evening. So I’d be very surprised if I get a bfp..

tashadae27 · 13/09/2022 19:03

@vitahelp haha I know! I think I just learned my lesson after testing early last time and got disappointed only to get a BFP 2 days later! I totally understand early testing though it's too anxious/excited to have to wait! But you never know! Lots of people don't get any symptoms until a few weeks later so things could still be promising for you!

I've mixed symptoms but could be PMS (although doesn't explain my sudden urge to want to vomit this morning! That was definitely not pms related!) 😰

Geemmm · 13/09/2022 19:12

Yeah I know it's early still and there is still hope but my little head won't let me wait properly 😩😅. I wish I had the patience - like you say testing early is just disappointing most times 🤦🏼‍♀️

Feeling a bit sorry for myself as a friend who fell pregnant just as I miscarried has just had her baby and I feel like I need to know this very moment - completely know this is irrational behaviour btw 🤦🏼‍♀️.

Lovely to have you girls to chat too atm - thanks for jumping on this thread!

Fingers crossed for us all 🤞🏻🤞🏻

tashadae27 · 13/09/2022 20:29

@Geemmm it's not irrational at all lovely, it's completely normal. Me and my best friend found out we were pregnant in December at the same time, although mine was ectopic she went on to have her baby (although lots of complications and her baby was premature but he is now 2.5 months old and healthy!) My DH's best friend and wife also found out they were expecting at the same time and they had their baby the week ours was meant to be due and my gosh that was hard for me! However I'm so happy for them but at the time it just spurred me on to try again and here we are!

I agree it's so lovely to chat here! And any support or advice needed I'm here :)

🤞 xx

vitahelp · 14/09/2022 08:14

Morning ladies, 9dpo today and I've woken up feeling rough (sore throat/headache etc). It's annoying because I know it is probably just a bug especially since my DD has just started primary school, yet I'm starting to get my hopes up now that it is a sign...I don't want to get my hopes up.

tashadae27 · 14/09/2022 09:21

@vitahelp morning.
Bless you, also feeling rough here, was awake at 4am feeling sick and had a banging headache, now I feel like I've pulled an all nighter and got hot flushes!

Hope you feel better soon! X

vitahelp · 14/09/2022 12:25

@tashadae27 I'm sorry you're not feeling great either. I really hope it is a good sign for us both and not just annoying bugs. I've still got a bit of a headache and feeling rough. Very tempted to test tonight but 9dpo feels too early and also would rather test first thing in the morning when it is more accurate.

tashadae27 · 14/09/2022 12:30

@vitahelp had some sharp twinges most of the morning too.
I agree 9dpo may be too early but do whatever feels right for you :)
Some people get results earlier, some don't. I'm just going by my last experience so gonna wait.
Your headache sounds promising though! Fingers crossed! 🤞

Geemmm · 14/09/2022 18:03

Sorry to hear yous aren't feeling great ladies and hope it's just your bodies in the run up to a BFP instead of a bug. ❤️

@tashadae27 sorry to hear that mrs - that must have been hard for u. It's so difficult because like you said I am happy for them but I'm just too sad for me and then I feel guilty 🤦🏼‍♀️.

Not sure what's going on with me tbh. Usually before AF I get cramp and then bleed within the hour. Last night I had like growing pains in my legs (don't usually get this with AF) and today I've had cramp come and go but it's been more severe as I would get before AF. She's still no reared her ugly head as of yet. I'm not due until the 18th so it's a bit early for me to get AF cramp. Have been so short tempered today and very emosh - cried when I came home from work. Being a female is hard graft sometimes 😅 x

Ended up testing when I got home from work with a cheap internet test. It’s not ideal circumstances with only being 9dpo and would prefer to test in the morning when hcg would be stronger.. but anyway I have got a line. However I really don’t trust it, it’s hard to make out if there is any colour to it and I’ve never used cheap internet tests before so I’m so sure it is an evaporation line..

7dpo symptoms
tashadae27 · 14/09/2022 21:02

@vitahelp I'd take that as a positive! Deffo a line there! But if you want reassurance test again in a few days. But to me that deffo looks positive to me! X
