7dpo symptoms

[Geemmm]

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

Ah sorry to hear that @Geemmm. I'm a nurse and I have heard of it, in fact I have a friend with lupus, who had lots of different treatment for it, and she has not long had a baby boy! She goes for regular infusions but had a healthy pregnancy. I'm not sure about anyone else though as I haven't looked after anyone with lupus.
Managed to DTD today, will try again tomorrow and Monday perhaps.
I track my cycles with Natural Cycles, I've never had an issue with it and been using it for years. I managed to fall pregnant the first time using natural cycles plan pregnancy alongside using OPKs it just was unfortunately ectopic. Xx

@tashadae27 aw really - that's reassuring, thanks mrs! I was a bit flabbergasted as I'd never even heard of lupus before and now I'm looking at the symptoms going yep that's me and that's me too. Just want to get this right.

My friend used natural cycles and swore by it for both contraception and fell pregnant their first cycle ttc. I've heard really good things about it. I use easy@home and glow. Tbh I might switch to natural cycles as only heard success stories. Saying that I have had 3 pregnancies with using easy@home so can't really slate it.

Yeah think I will be doing the same DTD wise - feel like I'm dragging the fun out of it a wee bit for DF but this month we have been a bit better because I haven't tracked properly.

How you getting on @vitahelp ? X

Hi ladies! I’m a bit confused, my temp went high yesterday which made the FF app put ovulation as 2 days ago but I had dark lines on OPK tests yesterday. My temp dropped back again today so I don’t think I had actually ovulated yet! We’ve dtd almost every day so feeling quite confident we’re covered, I just want to ovulate now and chill a bit! With the positive OPKs yesterday I’m hoping it will happen some time today/tonight..I usually get cramps so will hopefully be able to tell!

I totally agree about dtd no longer feeling fun, it has definitely become a bit of a chore here..!

@vitahelp I'm actually fed up of dtd now 😅and I'm emotional today with lots of EWCM/wateryCM I just can't be arsed! Is that bad? 😆
My opk are neg today, so I only had 1-2 day positive (cb said positive on Friday and yesterday) but the at home ones from amazon said positive yesterday only so who knows! Deffo think today/today is OD!
Good luck to you xx

@tashadae27 It sounds like your positive OPKs we’re around the same time as mine. Mine were darkest on Fri-Sat and gone light today. I’m sure ovulation must be soon but I haven’t felt anything today, I did feel very tired and headache but usually get cramps. Just want to get it done now and start the 2WW madness!

@vitahelp I'm sure ovulation was yesterday evening for me, felt tugging and niggle pains right side and had lots of watery ewcm. But still had watery ewcm today so who knows. We dtd yesterday but haven't today yet purely cos I'm losing interest 😅
I hate the 2ww but this time I think I'm just gonna roll with it and try to forget so I'm not hyperfocused on every little thing (probs won't last but I can dream)
I feel the same with the exhaustion today I'm like a different person just can't seem to wake up!

We are so alike - I love it proper cycle buddies! I've had lots of watery cm today too and have had little niggles last night and this morning. I always get like really bad back pain when I'm ovulating too and it was here last night. I had to get my wee hot water bottle to get to sleep 😅. My apps are still saying cd17 for ovulation though because I have tracked properly this month. Today is CD15 which could totally be right I guess due to my usual window.

I'm really going to try and not symptom spotting this month and have asked DF to hide the tests already lol - here is hoping I can stick to my guns!

I hope your pains have gone now, although it is handy to have it a sign so you know you have ovulated! I'm still a bit confused, I usually ovulate between CD12-15 and today is CD16 so I'm quite certain I have, but I couldn't say when as I haven't really had any cramping/bloating, and my temps haven't significantly shifted up yet like they usually would. The only real clue I have is opks which suggest I ovulated Sat night/Sun as they went from having a line to not much at all. Going to keep DTD every other day for a bit longer to be safe.

Haha I'm determined not to either! I haven't got any tests in, and after last months debacle with the internet cheapies/false positives I'm actually scared to ever test again!!

@Geemmm oh bless you needing your hot water bottle! Today I've had stretchy EWCM some slight niggles lower left briefly but I just don't know what side I ovulate from now, before my ectopic I used to know for sure right side as had the pains, now I just don't know as pains can be both sides!
I like having cycle buddies! 😇
@vitahelp I understand with your false positives as I had them too, gonna stick to digital I think! But not gonna test til period due date!
How are you both feeling today? X

Morning! Oo that sounds like you may have ovulated @tashadae27 or maybe close to doing. I want to try and do the same as you with the testing, it is so easy to say now though but once I get to 10dpo I start getting so impatient and almost want to test so I can get a bfn and stop getting my hopes up/symptom spotting.

I finally had a temp rise today so I'm quite certain I have ovulated. Still finding it odd that I didn't get any cramps though, I usually get them for the whole day after but maybe the timing meant I got the cramps overnight this time perhaps. I randomly got ewcm last night though which confused me, but I have had it up to 2 days after ovulation in the past so probably doesn't mean anything.

@vitahelp my app just told me I ovulated on Sunday. We dtd Saturday and Sunday so hopefully caught it! Still got copious of EWCM though even overnight last night so can't remember having it for this long previously. My temp really jumped today m, has been 36.25 sat (first small jump from 35.95 on fri), 36.32 sun, 36.33 Mon and 36.60 today! Hopefully now I've ovulated my blood sugars will come down (what a ballache!)
Sounds to me like you ovulated at the weekend or yesterday) it's possible you ovulated during the night I've had that before and haven't felt anything.
I think 10dpo is early to test, my last pregnancy I tested day 12 got a bfn then tested day 14 got a bfp! The timing makes all the difference and then you arent disappointed unnecessarily :)
😎

That sounds like perfect timing! I hope things settle now with your blood sugars!

I really hope I have ovulated, it would be a bit weird if I hadn't yet by now. I think I always have 10dpo in my head because that was when I got a BFP when I was pregnant with my daughter. Even then, I spent the next few days frantically re-testing in case it didn't stick, so I wouldn't recommend it. Hopefully this thread can keep me calm during the 2ww and I can keep away from the tests!

@vitahelp we can distract one another during the 2ww 😅
I'm going to try my best to keep myself busy and active so I'm not over thinking and wondering endlessly! And I'm going to stop googling any little symptom (youd think being a nurse I'd know to not do that!) 😆

Positive vibes manifesting all around us 🙌

Sounding all good ladies - I think I’m a wee bit behind yous my app says I’m to ovulate today and I think it may be right (Tmi warning lol) I’m having loads of pain today. Started in my back again like the other night but stronger, then moved round to my abdomen too on the left side. I now keep getting like shooting pains up my vagina and just above my pubic bone. Soo uncomfortable actually taking my breath away. Never usually get pain this bad except from when I have AF or when I have had my MC’s. Hoping this means my body is shooting out a lovely, big, healthy egg 🤞🏻

Think you are both right with the testing - I will do the same this month hopefully. I have tested pos at 12 dpo with my pregnancies but I will try my best to wait until missed period 🤦🏼‍♀️

@Geemmm ouchy sounds awful for you! Here's hoping it's a juicy healthy egg! Could be hormones playing a part in the pain :( Hope it subsides for you soon.

My blood sugars are finally coming down 🙏 so I can start to feel a bit more 'normal'.

I haven't even looked to see when my period due date it so leaving it to my app to notify me its due in a few days then I'll think about testing but not until AF due. I'm keeping a positive mind 😌

@Geemmm I hope your ovulation pains are a good sign! 🤞🏻

@tashadae27 That's great news about your blood sugars! I feel worryingly hopeful about this cycle, I think it's because we DTD a lot more this time. I really don't want to get my hopes up though!

My app thinks I'm 3dpo now and AF would be due 13dpo...feels like so long but will probably go fast. So glad I have you ladies to chat to about it.

Thanks ladies - it's been awful I never have pain like that. Have a weird heaviness and like pressure in my lower abdomen today - hoping it something good and not like a uti brewing or something 🤦🏼‍♀️ knowing my luck it's likely!

Glad to here ur sugars are sorting themselves out love 🙌🏻.

Are you both 3dpo today? That's me 1dpo (according to app) and I'm due AF the 18th. Not sure what's happening as I've had no drop in temp. I still find temping very strange lol.

@Geemmm just out of interest, what have your temps been like over the past week?

My app says I'm 3dpo. I'm getting lots of CCM, it's not sticky, it's not dry, so not sure what that's about.

My app says I'm due AF 14/10 but recommends I test 16/10 (think cos I've been having shorter LP recently) funnily enough DH ie away the day I can test so that'll be interesting!

@tashadae27 there hasn't been much movement tbh been gradually increasing from 36.04 to 36.31 - really different to the variety I usually get 😅 I'm so clueless with it all I'm makes me more confused!

Ohh me too - lots of CCM that feels watery-ish 🤷🏼‍♀️

Aw really - will u test while he is away? I have the hosp on 17th so think I will test on the 16th. Dreaming I will walk into that appointment saying "I'm pregnant" so they can give me the injections and stuff that I need as early as possible 🤞🏻

@Geemmm could be late ovulation? But then again if you had positive opk maybe not? Our bodies are so confusing at times! When you think you know it and then BAM! Something shakes it up a bit 😅

I'll do it on the Sunday and then hopefully when it says positive I can surprise him when he gets home? Not that I'm thinking into it much or anything haha.

Sending you lots of positivity and hope that you can give them the good news! 😊

I know I did think that as I ovulated late last month but with that positive opk and the pains I've been having I'm like I'm sure I have O'd 🤷🏼‍♀️

Aw that's cute - I think that's the same day as me, you seem very on it with the willpower so maybe u will keep me strong until then too 😅 each time I think I want to tell my OH in a cute way then im pure on the phone two seconds later telling him or waking him up at 5 in the morning with my FMU test 🙈.

Thank u love - hope this is gonna be a good month for us all 🤞🏻🤞🏻

Hi ladies, hope you're both ok today? I've nothing new to report, I think I'm 4dpo today so would be too early for symptoms/signs etc. I did work out roughly when baby would be born if I am pregnant this cycle...really shouldn't do that!!

Hi ladies, busy day at work here so slow on the reply front!
@Geemmm I'll keep you strong and away from the tests haha!
@vitahelp nothing to report here either just still got all this CM! Aww I haven't even looked! I did that with my last pregnancy though but once I knew I was pregnant.

Hoping for good news for us all this month and sending lots of baby dust!

😘

Hi ladies - how are we today?

I think I'm 3po today. My cm is creamy but not a lot and I've been having little niggle low down in my abdomen with a wee shooting pain. Can't tell now whether these are normal or not I've been doing this for too long 😅

Decided I'm gonna take some baby aspirin from tomorrow just incase. Midwife had said to me that they would give me this if I fell pregnant again because of the lupus situ so I'm just gonna go for it. Lots of folk telling me not to but my minds made up I think.

@vitahelp I've done this too 🙈

Hi both,
Doing OK today thanks! How are you?
May be unrelated and TMI but I feel so constipated yesterday and today which is so unlike me. Not sure where its come from as I have a good balanced diet and drinking plenty of water?
It's completely upto you if you want to take it @Geemmm not anyone else's decision!
I've been told I will have to have aspirin too when I fall pregnant due to my diabetes.
I feel so different this cycle, like before I was googling everything and noting down every symptom but this time I'm keeping myself busy and not thinking about it! Some slight niggles lower right side but nothing to write home about. 😊
