Okay so today im 6DPO.... got some on and off low cramping, on and off headaches feeling constantly tired and just no energy, some thick white CM,my cervix is soft and higher up and just a general mleh feeling. Ive notice too the past 2 days my lower stomach is bloated a bit gassy and this sounds weird but when i bend or anything it feels like my tummys in the way so to speak. Know its WAY to early to test and trying so hard not to symptom spot yet just hoping this is my month. Anyone else in the same boat ?

@vitahelp my morning test was so faint, but they've become much stronger this evening! Maybe I'm just burnt from last time and it's making me anxious.

I've read a lot people's evening tests are stronger than the mornings ... Maybe you just .. one of those haha xx

Congratulations @Needtobuildabridge and @Chanteuse!!! Looking like BFP’s for you both!

@BlippyMoose26 I’m just catching up but I’m also the same for men thinking differently. We’ve only just started trying this month but whenever I take a test etc he seems to find it strange. Earlier I accidentally used his card to order my FRER’s (shared Amazon account) and he seemed so surprised. I think as the woman you’re really conscious of what’s going to happen to your body and you’re also listening to your body every day for signs and symptoms of anything at all. Any time I mention a symptom my other half just shrugs at me. He was literally the one who suggested we start trying as well 😂

Yeah I've not told DH that I've took any tests yet .. until I get my BFP I'll keep it that way haha I think it might be a nice surprise too haha I've watched videos of the whole surprise I'm pregnant scenarios and they're great fun haha !!

@Chanteuse
Practically nothing, I almost wish I had some symptoms to make it feel more real!

Did you test again this morning? I can see a really faint line but I may have line eyes from looking at all of mine!

vitahelp · 27/01/2023 07:38

Oh ladies, I'm in a right state this morning. I woke up and took my temp and it has gone very high. Usually it is dropping now towards AF (I'm 11-12 dpo). It is the highest temp I've recorded in 10 months of charting including when I had covid. I feel fine, I'm not ill or anything. I took it again to be sure.
So of course I had to take a test this morning and was actually expecting it to be positive and it looks like a BFN. I thought maybe I could see a faint line at one stage but it was 6am and I was still half asleep, plus I think I was so sure it would be positive I convinced myself I could see something and wasn't accepting it.
So I'm now at work more confused than ever. I've seen on other charts online people have a big temp rise late in the luteal phase but then it dropped again and they got AF. But it just seems so unusual for me.
I've still got my hopes up that maybe I had implantation yesterday/today (hence temp only just rising) and that it is too soon to detect on a test...I'm worried I'm just not accepting the reality though :(

vitahelp · 27/01/2023 07:39

@BlippyMoose26 I see it!! I really hope that's the start of a positive!! Let us know as soon as you test this morning, eeek!!!

Here's this morning's .... Will do another later tonight see 8f there's any diff ... Can't really see anything on this one so maybe was an evap or I could be one of those that FMU isn't any good.

How's we all feeling today ... Today is 11DPO for me ... 😑

@BlippyMoose26 keeping everything crossed for yours!! I could see something in the first photo and kind of the outline of the line on the second so you never know. Have you ordered any FRER’s?

I’ve still got some cramping but at this point I’m feeling like it’s AF on the way. I’ll retest Monday, FREER’s came last night but I just don’t want to be disappointed so I’m hanging on.

@vitahelp how are you doing now? I’m keeping everything crossed for you!! Hoping it’s just a false negative

Morning Hun .. no FRERS aren't readily avail here .. where do you guys get them from ? I'll have to have a look online but I think they're around €15 for 1 same price as a Clearblue ... And knowing what I'm like I'd prob need 700 of them to test a LOT ahahaha. I've have a few sharp twinges the last 2 days but not cramps as such..still got the tender boobs and only 1 bit of feeling sick yest. And a random 2 mins of feeling like I was going to cry .. all over a silly daydream lol but again could be AF about to show her ugly face on Monday.. deffo feel different this month but can only wait and see I guess x

@BlippyMoose26 oh that’s a shame! Here I just buy them from Amazon and it’s a pack of
two for about £6. I’m saving them for monday though as I just don’t want to waste them, plus I’ve already had my morning wee today and didn’t collect it so I’m not going to bother. My dog had me up at 5 with a poorly tummy so I went to the bathroom and was too sleepy to think about testing.

Your symptoms sound really promising! I think we’ve got really similar symptoms but again it’s whether they’re PMS or early pregnancy. The symptoms for the two are so similar. If it’s not pregnancy I’ll be fine as it’s only month one and it just means more time to plan and save etc so its fine. I’ll just be confused as although I struggle with my periods anyway and sometimes wonder if I have endo (heavy periods, horrible pain each month) normally the pain side of it comes when my period actually arrives or at least just a day before. This month I’ve had about a week of on off cramping and I just have no idea why if it wasn’t implantation. Bodies are really strange things though. I also have been feeling ready to cry on and off, something had me weepy while I was driving yesterday but I’m quite an emotional person by nature so I’m set off quite easily.

Are you keeping busy this weekend? I need to take some jeans back to zara tomorrow so we’re going to make an afternoon of shopping and getting lunch. I think my DH actually knows I need distracting bless him. He’s also suggested a date night in the evening I think just to take my mind off things.

Ill check Amazon but the Spanish one doesn't sell them might have to get them from UK one but will get mega import tax lol pffft.

I'm off out for a meal with friends this evening and got a mega busy weekend rearranging my spare room as it's cluttered to beyond cluttered haha.

I just we would get 2 completely different sets of symptoms so we knew either way. This is month 8 but technically only month 2 of tracking and being a bit more on top of trying rather than just seeing what happens... So plenty more time of course I don't usually get so many symptoms so early either .. last month I got a bit of spotting 2 days before AF but only on my finger when I checked cervix not actually coming out so to speak oops tmo sorry lol ... This month nothing at all ... My cervix is still soft and high and cm is back to sticky and white but not so much of it so just don't know ... I suppose I'll find out in 2 days as due AF on Monday x

Girls I'm going to be mess this month if I'm not pregnant. I'm starting to come down from the excitement of this morning and remember that it is just one high temperature which can happen occasionally for no reason. But I seriously do have my hopes up, more than I ever have since TTC. If my temp drops tomorrow/AF comes, it's going to be a big come-down and I doubt I will handle it well..
I also have zero symptoms, but to be fair I didn't have any symptoms/signs when I was pregnant with DD so that would be normal for me.

vitahelp · 27/01/2023 10:51

Here’s the test from this morning (yes I pulled it out of the casing which you’re not meant to do!) I’m also certain there is no hint of a line, it doesn’t help that there are so many lines in the background from the walls etc!

6DPO buddies please ?
vitahelp · 27/01/2023 10:52

The pregnancy line is meant to appear on the left of the control line on this pic.

Chanteuse · 27/01/2023 11:44

Ah @vitahelp i feel the same! I’m worried about a chemical :(

So glad I have you ladies! I’m at an event this afternoon straight from work so hopefully that will take my mind off things! I feel shaky and giddy since this morning, need to calm down. I have another test in the house so will do that in the morning, if there is still no line I’m quite certain I’m out. I hope you’re all okay xxx

Swiftie12 · 27/01/2023 12:18

I just took an easy at home and it was a BFN. I think I’m out this month tbh. I’ve had on off pains but I just don’t think this is my month. Just waiting for AF on Monday now.

vitahelp · 27/01/2023 12:22

Im sorry to hear that @Swiftie12 I hope you can still enjoy your plans for tomorrow xx

Swiftie12 · 27/01/2023 12:23

@vitahelp thats okay! You’re not
out until AF arrives so if it doesn’t then I’ll get a huge surprise. But it’s only my first cycle trying so it is what it is. Keeping my fingers crossed this cycle for you 🤞🏼

BlippyMoose26 · 27/01/2023 13:04

I agree your not out til AF reveals her ugly face.. I'm sat here now feeling lightheaded and spacey and a bit sick again... Haven't had lunch yet so will go make some see if that's the cause. Still undecided wether to be sensible tonight or have a blow out and get drunk haha x
