8dpo Symptoms

[Babiesforme]

Hello! Currently 8dpo and had cramping and backache 5 and 6 dpo and it started to stop on 7dpo. I'm getting the odd tingle in my boobs and down there but nothing long lasting. I think I've been a bit more tired but I'm often tired lol! I don't bbt, but I keep an eye on my resting heart rate which doesn't normally drop till my period starts. But it's dropped today and yesterday. Have been having white cm amd feeling very wet. Pdg dipped at 6dpo but back up for the last 2 days. Do you think I'm out??

Aw bless you @Babiesforme . Yes I always felt a ton of relief once I got AF and could stop checking. This was my 6th cycle and before the 12 week loss I'd been trying 4 cycles and it's a strange but nice feeling to have 2 weeks off once AF shows up, like the pressure is off. I'm still scared of AF showing up, was due today according to the app but after my loss I have so many crazy emotions, I'm all the feels lol.

So I'm a UFO investigator and we have some strange pink skies from a veggie greenhouse that lights the skies so they asked if they could use a few pictures id taken of the night sky and then switched that up to actually coming over and going from a UFO pov, kinda made me look a bit like I should be wearing a tin foil hat but got me out there haha. Was so surreal. My crystals I was given by my sister ages ago after my wife lost our first baby, I made her wear them in her pockets when she got pregnant with our daughter lol. I forgot I had them till recently. I've attached a pic below. There are 3 but the smaller one has very pointy sharp edges so I tend to not keep that on my body. I'm sure they are Himalayan pink salt but I licked it 🙈and it didn't taste salty, reminds me of those lamps people buy 😂. Sorry you didn't get the outcome you wanted this month xxx I'm keeping everything crossed for all of us we get the sticky babies. Still praying mine sticks and stays. I'm not moving for 8 months lol x

I forgot to add the pic

Hi everyone, can I jump on the post. I'm am currently 5dpo, congrats to those with bfp already : )

@DarkCrystal85 Your crystals look like raw rose quartz to me. Which makes sense, as rose quartz is often given to expecting mothers. 🤞For you and baby

Thanks for that @DarkCrystal85 gonna try and get myself some crystals! How are you doing? I had to take a few days, was feeling a bit meh. Still I am but read your message and it so made me lol 😊 We can wear tin foil hats together haha. Hope you and baby are OK x

@ABLOSSOM I hope AF didn't show up
@Jaggirl1319 What about you?

@Babiesforme AF came on Monday ☹️ sorry I've been a little silent it was just hard to accept and was very emotional....

My apps are predicting I have another 20 days until ovulation so this is just a long waiting game...

Congratulations to everyone's BFP's!! Sending baby dust to everyone and hope we all get our miracles ✨

Sorry I've been quiet, it's actually taking a lot to get my head around, pregnancy after loss is really hard, I am in constant fear xb@Babiesforme ha yes I've actually been throwing myself into astrophysics studies to keep my mind active lol

Sorry @ABLOSSOM you got AF, I hope you get your positive soon x
@Skymningen yes they do look like those crystals and thankyou 🙏

I am feeling exactly the same it's like I'm just waiting to start bleeding I've almost convinced myself it's going to happen I'm trying to just get on my life and not think about being pregnant but it's a constant battle in my head !

@Prettything yeah that's same. I'm checking constantly. I have hit the sicky feeling stage today too I think. Woke up feeling horrendous. I'm sure everything with both of us is fine, it's just hard when you've been through loss x

@Babiesforme thank u for asking hope u are well. Sorry not been on had alot of commitments lately. Last few days symptoms have all disappeared but I started feeling sick again about lunch time so I tested n got very faint bfp at 11dpo so I tested again with wandfo and used one step and all have faint line.

Sorry I've been a bit quiet too ladies, just feeling so meh.
I'm sorry to hear af showed up @ABLOSSOM I feel your pain. I think af showed up for us at the same time. Sending you lots of hugs and baby dust for your next cycle. I think I'm going to try pomegranate juice for the next couple of cycles.
@DarkCrystal85 Fab that you've got something to keep you occupied! Definitely something I need to work on. The tin hat message made me lol so much when I was feeling down so thank you! x How's your oh feeling about it all? Would you think about a private scan or anything to settle your mind? I can only imagine the worry that you're feeling at what should be a completely happy and exciting time.
Congrats @Jaggirl1319 🤗 Happy, anxious?? Ttc is such an emotional roller coaster!
@Skymningen You ok?
Admittedly I am feeling down not just because of ttc but even if none of us post for a few days, always here if anyone needs a friend
I hope this continues to be a lucky thread with more bfp's to come x

@Babiesforme I am kinda in shock and a bit anxious af isn't due till 1st so I'm worried could be a chemical coz it's early at 11dpo I've had positive.

Give you all a bit of background about me. We have been trying to conceive for over a year after being on pill since having my son in 2006. Back in April my periods stopped for 2 months and doctor said I just wasn't ovulating and agreed to run tests to check my thyroid etc and do a blood pregnancy test. All came back clear and OK and negative pregnancy. Doctor also advised that at 37 I'm still very fertile and to start taking folic acid and vitamin d now. So I did, periods last few month have been bit lighter and shorter than my normal, so thought not ovulating again 🙄 this month I tried clear blue ovulation tests (pink) I got my smiley face 8 days after my af started 8th this month. Now had my bpf this afternoon. So think just worry coz it's early days and been long journey compared to my first 17 years ago.

I'm sorry to all those who's af have appeared : (

This was done at 130 pm today with 2nd urine of day. Going to test tomorrow with fmu. But they came up within the 3 min time window.

Lovely to see those positives @Jaggirl1319 I think the trials of ttc sometimes take away the happiness when you finally get a bfp. But congratulations! Nice to hear your doctor was positive about your fertility! Did you take your vit d at night or in the morning? I need to start taking my vitamins again, I've been a bit lax for the last week. Wish you a happy healthy pregnancy 😊 Have you told your oh?

@Babiesforme

Thank u : )

Yeah my doc was very understanding and helpful for a change. Erm I used to take them in morning but had nausea sumtimz in morning and don't know if its vits making me sick so I've changed to just after I've had my lunch and must admit I've felt better this way taking them. Yeah I told my oh and we are going to try a frer tomorrow morning together.

How are u feeling?

I might try morning then. I was quite happy taking them at night till my sis told me they help with energy so take in the morning. Don't know what body's doing today, cd9 and loads of pink cm (sorry!) due to ovulate on Wednesday. Been spotting ever since my period finished last Thursday. Think I'm out due to schedules this cycle but I'm a little bit ok with that so I can relax and practice a bit of self care - try to. Happy Monday hope you're all ok x

Have I got line eyes??

@Babiesforme I defo see something there although very faint. How many dpo are u?

@Jaggirl1319 Going by my opk's last ovulation was a month ago! My period came when expected and ended last week so I would have said I'm on cd12 today. I tested 14, 15 and 20dpo (just to be sure!) and all bfn. Faint line came up today on 2 tests with second and third urine and was gone in a min. Only tested because I've been really emotional and had migraines/headaches daily since Sunday which is unusual at this point in my cycle. Maybe just a blip

Oh well no unusual for tests to take a while to show up tho. And it being 2 tests bit of coincidence but I defo see the line. Was it like a normal period uv just had or was it lighter could that of been implantation bleed. I'd hold of and test in few days time again with a frer if u can. My first one at 8dpo on cheap test strips were stressing me out as very faint and weren't getting darker but the frer I did came up just as dark as control line so put my mind at ease.

Yep pretty normal, 5 days with a couple of heavy bleeding and then medium to light bleeding. I tested with the Boots early tests today and got a couple more left luckily. Might test with fmu tomorrow but yeah I'll try and hold off for a few days. Not going to get too excited for now. Hope you and your little bean are ok!

Yeah I'd defo hold of 2 to 3 days then test again with fmu. Yeah my symptoms have vanished tbf just my sense of smell and breathlessness that's not. Booked into midwife yesterday with online booking so have midwife 13th December and my first scan 3rd Jan.

Hi @DarkCrystal85
Im also going through same phase..today m 8 dpo n having similar symptoms like u had..
Can u please tell me you had leg cramps or pain during this period?

Hi I'm trying to think back now, I did have cramps like sciatica and what felt like period cramps. I unfortunately lost the pregnancy at week 8 but these cramps were normal in pregnancy, they disappeared as did my other symptoms immediately when the babies heartbeat stopped so I feel like it was normal. I'm now 11dpo and being a pee on a stick addict again. Fingers crossed for you xx

Hi DarkCrystal85,
M so sorry about ur pregnancy loss its really hard ,again I too went throught 7week twins pregnancy loss 2 yrs ago😞 I cant overcome ....Now m 10 dpo n I dont dare to test at home.
I pray God to bless every women out there including me n you Baby from their womb as early as possible now.🙏
