SYMPTOM SPOT WITH ME TO STAY SANE

[Freya1245]

Hi ladies,
For once I am TRYING to see this as a fun exciting journey, rather than the worst thing ever!

1.5 year into TTC baby three. Mine are 12 & 10 years old. 33 day cycle. Ovulation not tracked as trying not to spend £1.5 million pounds a month on it all!

1-2 DPO Really really anxious, I had to lie down twice with palpatations
3- 4 DPO awful cramps, like put me to bed cramps
7 DPO headache started & awful sore throat, I was in bed for 2 days & had really bad flu
8 DPO cramps sore boobs & discharge started
9 DPO huge amount of yellow-y discharge (and I started FRER tests coz I can’t wait, negative)
10 DPO-11DPO negative tests. Tons of discharge, cramping & sore boobs
12 DPO (today) negative test AM, cramps (sure I’m out) then did a test PM as I have an MRI tomorrow (was unsure whether to cancel) & a VVFL (I think?!) tons of discharge & mood swings!! See pic of test…..

Id love this to help someone (if I am pregnant as I’ve been testing since 9DPO & been negative so far apart from today?!?!?!) OR just something to read through so you don’t need so alone!!

I will update either way for future TTC mummas

Just commented on your other post. To me the line looks like an indent, how long did it take to come up? I had a faint line on a similar test and it was more coloured than grey.

It sounds more like you were run down at the start of your cycle and that’s why you had the flu and some cramps.

It’s great you’re keeping track of all the symptoms . I’d wait a few more days before testing again that way if you are pregnant then the line will be darker.

Hi - I also have a 10 and 12 year old and am symptom spotting. Not holding out much hope though. Have quite sore breasts which have started earlier than the past few months but it’s definitely not unheard of for me so thinking it means nothing.

Wondering if anyone else can see a line im 7dpo i know its super early but thought id ask.

It’s so tough isn’t it! Sending so much love & light to you xxx

I’d do another in a few days xxx

I’ve done another today! What do you think?? Xxx

It’s very hard to tell. Personally I’d try really hard to leave it at least two days and then test again but with a different test. Some tests are notorious for indents and if there is a line then hopefully in a few days it will be darker.

Thank you x i can def see something on yours, but it is hard to tell if its a evap or not x

I've had very similar symptoms in regards to CM and cramping! 8DPO and would be interested to see how you get on!
Fingers crossed for you 🤞🏻🤞🏻

Thank you!! I’ll keep you updated xxx

Very sad tonight!! Another indent/faint line. But then Cramping started this eve and now faint pink CM when I wiped :-( Pretty sure I will come on tonight/tomorrow morning & will never buy FR again if so!!

I’m so sorry @Freya1245 i know lots of people swear by them but they are not a test I would use.

Please wait a couple of days and if you haven’t started your period yet then try a different brand of test.

Thank you :-( I definitely won’t be using them again or putting myself through the every day torture I have this month. One test when my period is late & then one a week later. I’m promising myself because this journey is affecting me so drastically, I feel like a failure every month x

I know the feeling well but please remind yourself you’re not a failure. It’s just harder for a lot of us.
I used to test constantly but the negative tests were getting too much for me so started on testing on the couple of days lead up to my period starting. If it was negative within 4 days of my period then I didn’t bother testing again.

Best of luck for next month 💐

Sorry to hear this. Xx
