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 ok thats good in a way that you have told them so it is out of the way. I got quite nervous about telling work as it seemed such a long build up waiting for the 12 week scan.
Haha I hadn't heard of that! Oo will be interesting to see if it was correct 😀
I'm feeling ok about starting a new cycle, I am becoming quite cautious though and starting to get my head around the idea that it might not happen at all.

Hey @vitahelp hope you're doing OK?
Just wanted to update you, had another scan today, baby growing nicely and measuring 2 days ahead of what we thought so 9+4. Got some scan pics which is lovely and being started on twice daily blood thinning Injections as I'm high risk pregnancy for developing blood clot etc. Got a BP monitor as I always have higher BP (on tablets) and being seen regularly by diabetes team. Been signed off for another 2 weeks due to morning sickness. I only went back to work for 1 day and was told today by the consultant in no terms to return to work for another 2 weeks! So that's that!
How are you doing? Xx

Hi @tashadae27 Oh I'm so glad to hear everything is still ok, I bet it was exciting to see baby again 😊I'm glad everything is under control regarding blood pressure and your diabetes. I really hope the morning sickness improves for you soon. A friend of mine was prescribed something to help with morning sickness but I'm not sure if it would be suitable alongside your other medications? Are your work being understanding?

I'm good, I'm on CD13 now and my app thinks I ovulated on CD10??!! I highly doubt it though, I've never ovulated earlier than CD12 and it is usually CD15. Also my OPK was stark white on CD10/11 and just starting to develop a line yesterday so I think my temps are just being a bit erratic. Actually feel a bit sore and crampy today so may well be ovulating today..

I'm feeling quite calm so far this cycle, and hoping if it doesn't happen I will be able to cheer myself knowing Christmas will be round the corner!

Hey @vitahelp happy new year! How are you doing?
I just had to search back for this thread as I never received a notification on the last message that I've just read now! So sorry...

Thought I'd give you an update in how I'm doing. Currently 16 weeks, have a gender scan booked for Saturday (excited)! Been feeling baby move (flutters) since week 12, felt it during 12 week scan when I saw the baby literally do a flip haha and when the baby stopped moving so did the flutters so it confirmed for me that's what I've been feeling! Very active flutters today/tonight.

How are you doing? Hope you're doing okay :) x

Hi @tashadae27 It’s lovely to hear from you, I was going to get in touch soon to check how you’re doing. I’m so glad everything is ok! Did you find out the gender today?? It is so amazing when you can feel baby moving 😀

I’m still trying, onto cycle 10 now and feeling quite disheartened. I’m getting used to it now though and also getting used to the idea that it may not happen at all and realising that if it doesn’t I will be fine, we have a lovely little family and my daughter is so perfect. It has helped to realise that and know that either way I will be fine. I just want to get out of limbo soon and either get pregnant or move forward with my life xx

That's certainly a lovely way of looking at it @vitahelp but don't forget to talk to someone (a professional) if you want to. There are things that can be done to help :)
I'm glad you are okay though!

So gender scan was a bit of a fail 😆sonographer first thought girl then thought boy so we have no clear answers. We had a nub reading done at 13 weeks which showed a girl, however I sent my scans in from yesterday to the same nub reader who said ah yes looks like a boy now. So we are just gonna wait for rescan in 2 weeks time and for the 20 week scan then we will hopefully know for sure. Either way I'm not bothered girl or boy just hope if it's a boy he doesn't like football because I hate it hahaha!keep you posted!

Don't forget to reach out if you need/want to. You never know what may happen, I'm keeping everything crossed for you xx

@tashadae27 I know what you mean, actually I was in the GP surgery earlier this week for a routine asthma check and it came up in conversation. The nurse seemed quite keen for me to book another appointment with a doctor as she felt I should have had blood samples taken when I went at the 6 month mark. So I've requested a new appointment now to see a doctor, I may be waiting a while though so could well make it to the 12 month mark anyway by the time I'm there!!

Oh gosh that sounds like a rollercoaster! Is the nub reading with a private service? The 2 weeks should go by quickly then you can hopefully find out with more certainty! I only had 2 NHS scans with my daughter and at the 21 week NHS scan they told me it was 'probably' a girl, but I ended up going for a private scan the same week for more certainty. They actually said 100% girl which seemed a risky thing to say since there is surely a possibility of getting it wrong!! But it gave me the confidence to buy a few girls things!

Haha I hate football too, thankfully DH isn't a fan either he's more into Rugby but doesn't obsess over it too much! The funny thing is our DD is such a tomboy, she loves marvel stuff/cars etc and wont wear dresses or girly clothes. Her best friends at school are both boys too!

Thank you😊 I'm still hopeful that it will happen but a lot calmer these days. I'd been holding off booking a holiday for 2023 working on the assumption that I'll be pregnant. But bit the bullet yesterday and booked something for the end of July. The hotel is flexible and can be cancelled 1 month before so if it does happen I can get some of the money back. I just felt the need to book it because if I didn't fall pregnant by summer I would have the added disappointment of not having a holiday either. It also gives me something more certain to look forward to in the future, rather than just the 'will I / wont I' be pregnant!

That's good she recommended a gp appointment and bloods @vitahelp hopefully you won't have to wait too long but I 100% understand how it may feel like 12 months til you get one! Keeping fingers crossed it's not too long!

Yeah the reading was with the nub Whisperers who are on Instagram. Feel disappointed that what we thought we were having may now not be at all and I probably should have just waited and not been tok eager and gone with the nub reading. Didn't get an apology just "it seems your baby's nub changed"! Won't be using that service again and will just wait for normal 20 week scan I think if we are lucky enough to fall pregnant again in the future. That'll teach me for being impatient!

Both me and hubby hate football so I won't be disappointed if we have a boy and he hates football too haha!

Your DD sounds like my kind of gal! I used to hate wearing dresses too etc and was always playing with boys instead of girls, I've always preferred the company of male friends rather than females still to this day! Ad long as she is happy that's all that matters :) there shouldn't be a set way of oh girls should like girls things and boys should like boys things, a variety of different things is good!

I'm glad you said you booked that holiday, you deserve it after all your trying, even if you are pregnant at that point it can be a baby moon :) and if not then you're right you will have a lovely holiday to look forward to and enjoy!

I have faith and keeping everything crossed for you.

Keep me posted and I'm always here to lend an ear (or eye!)

Xx

@tashadae27 I'm still waiting to hear back about my doctors appointment, I'll probably chase up in a week or so.

That sounds so frustrating, I don't blame you for feeling impatient, I was exactly the same! I'm not overly girly either, I work in the engineering industry so mostly around men and I was a bit of a tomboy as a child too. What scares me is when she says things like "boys are cool, they can do xyz and are strong". It's like she associates doing those fun things with 'being a boy' rather than aspiring to being 'a girl who is good at football/likes spiderman' etc. I'm not saying she wants to be a boy, but it's as though she assumes those things aren't accessible to her. It's such a shame that she already sees it like that!

I feel so much different since booking the holiday, I think it has given me back a bit of control over things! I'm currently starting the 2WW...very calm so far. I think I'm at the stage where I assume I'm not pregnant, so I'm less inclined to symptom spot and overthink.

Thank you! it really helps being able to check in with you, I hope you don't mind it! Of course I am always here too, if you want to vent or ask anything about pregnancy etc!
