7 DPO - driving myself crazy!

LBttc · 06/03/2023 21:12

Hello all.

So I know 7 DPO is way too early to notice anything. However, I am experiencing sharp pains on my left side, the same side I ovulated on. They are different to anything I usually experience, little sharp intermittent twinges. Also (TMI warning) I have thick, slightly yellow discharge, the point that there is some in my knickers which I diidn't usually see.

I'm definitely symptom spotting! But anyone who has experienced similar might let me know, I'm not getting my hopes up as I know it's not likely to be indicative of anything.

Thanks all, hope your TTC journey is going well, wishing baby dust to you all x

@bringmearainbow You are same as me, I am 8dpo today. I did my bbt and got an extra rise today... straight onto google to see if it's a positive sign 🤣

@Darcy86 Such good will power! Hoping that AF not on the way

@cat709 you're not out yet, any more symptoms?

Tomorrow I will test again.. and prob everyday until AF lol. I have more cheap tests arriving tomorrow so why not torture myself. 🙂 On a completely different note... what about that snow! ❄🌨❄

I'm 7dpo today and getting some regular pre period symptoms that mirror early pregnancy symptoms too. Tiredness/sore boobs/back pain.
I tested today cause I am weak lol and bfn. It's our first cycle trying so I'd be shocked if we got pregnant this fast...

@Sunnymummy3

I got an outright point blank negative on a dip stick this morning. Took a test at 3pm (I don't know why I do it to myself), and a very faint line appeared! I know it's still very early and lots of hurdles, but pleased to see something.
Fingers crossed for you xx

Sunnymummy3 · 09/03/2023 22:05

@VixFromThe6ix It's so hard to tell the difference isn't it. Still early days though, hopefully positive news over the weekend 🙂

@cat709 ooohhh so exciting,
hopefully tomorrow with fmu you get a nice line then .... that's brilliant news🎉 please update us in the morning! x

Hello
I'm 6 dpo today. I have abdominal pain since 2 dpo more on the left side, I'm a bit nauseous and always tired and i got chills all day but my bbt still 36.3 since monday not rising at all so i don't know if they're pms symptoms but i don't usually get stomach pain this early.

That's so exciting!! Keep us posted won't you!

I'm now 14dpo, and feel it could go either way. I've had:

  • V light pink spots when wiping which appeared on 11dpo, usually AF would be here by now if I see spotting...
  • a random nosebleed also on 11dpo
  • bleeding gums last night when brushing

I'm feeling twinges in my abdomen that really could be either AF or early pregnancy...I remember with my first the symptoms were so similar, so trying not to get my hopes up too much!

Will let you know either way I'm sure...🤣

cat709 · 10/03/2023 12:11

@Darcy86
Have you done the cervix check?
With my previous pregnancy and now this one, it was my only symptom indication that I was pregnant. Xx

Darcy86 · 10/03/2023 12:24

@cat709 no...I have never done this, how do you do it and what am I looking for? All the gory details welcome, lol 😂

Have you tested again yet? Crossing fingers for you as well!

cat709 · 10/03/2023 12:37

@Darcy86
If you type cervix check for early pregnancy into google, but your cervix if pregnant should be high and her soft. Now low and hard. It's not guaranteed, but for me it was very noticeable.
I did one this morning and it's slightly darker. I might try and leave it for a few days otherwise I'll just go insane xx

Sunnymummy3 · 10/03/2023 21:29

9dpo and a BFN for me today 🙁 x

VixFromThe6ix · 10/03/2023 21:51

8dpo and bfn. It's early but I had a positive when I was pregnant at 8dpo.
I guess we are probably out this cycle.

cat709 · 11/03/2023 09:14

@VixFromThe6ix
No you're not out yet. I found out I was pregnant at 7dpo last time.
This time I didn't know until 11dpo and even then I would say the line was a tiny squinter.
I really have only had a top to bottom line today (13dpo). Xx

VixFromThe6ix · 11/03/2023 13:10

@cat709 I'll try testing again maybe tomorrow or Monday then I'll be 10-11dpo. I just feel cranky and that's my clear period symptom haha

Sunnymummy3 · 12/03/2023 06:26

@cat709 congratulations on your bfp! 🎉💗 x

Darcy86 · 12/03/2023 08:03

7 DPO - driving myself crazy!

@Darcy86 excellent line congratulations 🥳

Thanks so much 😀 good luck to you xx

cat709 · 12/03/2023 09:03

@Darcy86 oh wow congrats!!
So that must mean you were 16th i when you found out?! Xx

Sunnymummy3 · 12/03/2023 16:46

Aw lovely, congratulations @Darcy86 you were right about the nosebleed then 🙂 xo

16dpo, it is a little crazy but that's when I found out with my first so I kind of wanted to test on the same day, I don't know why, doesn't make much sense I know! But thank you, don't think it's sunk in properly yet 😊

Darcy86 · 12/03/2023 21:21

Sunnymummy3 · 12/03/2023 16:46

Aw lovely, congratulations @Darcy86 you were right about the nosebleed then 🙂 xo

Thanks so much! Yes must have been hormone related!

Sunnymummy3 · 16/03/2023 07:35

How did everyone else get on?

I was pretty sad about my bfn at the time, but now on cd3 of a fresh new cycle, ready to do it all over again 🙂

bringmearainbow · 16/03/2023 08:55

I was out I'm on CD4 now. I wasn't shocked by the BFN since our timing was not great last cycle but this one DH is not going on any holidays so we can get cracking 😂

Sunnymummy3 · 16/03/2023 19:03

Lol @bringmearainbow sorry just seeing this now... Yes maybe just give him a 5 mile travel limit on your fertile week 😁.

Well we will be similar dates I think for ttc so hopefully this is our month 🙂 December babies? Lol

bringmearainbow · 16/03/2023 21:40

@Sunnymummy3 haha he's on a ban 😂I'm keeping everything crossed this is the one 🤞🏼 I think I'm due to ovulate 31/1 unless I get an earlier ovulation this month but the last couple of cycles were CD20/21 I def don't mind a dec baby any month baby would be nice 🤭 when are you due to O?
