Anybody else in the same boat??

I'm 5dpo and I've had an ache on my right side through yesterday evening and all today
It's not painful but can't ignore it 🤣

Wondering if anyone has similar or is waiting like me 😊

Hi, I am 4 DPO today and it already feels like the longest 4 days in the world! Glad it’s nearly the weekend as then it’s 2 days of being busy enough to not be obsessing over it!

Not really had any symptoms yet although obviously i’m symptom spotting like crazy 😂

Hi @Hannah4850
I am 7dpo, and it is the first month of trying, and oh my goodness the symptom spotting I am doing!! 
I am due on next week, fingers crossed for no period next week, but who knows! I have been having cramping at the start of this week, nausea in the mornings, extreme exhaustion, I feel like I keep forgetting things like yesterday morning I was getting ready for work and started putting my pyjamas on!! 
I did a test though yesterday because I couldn’t help myself and it came out as negative, so I think I’ll be trying again next cycle!
How are you getting on??

@TheKhakiLion omg me too the symptom spotting is ridiculous!!

@JM1997 I’ve been so bloated every day which I’ve obviously convinced myself is a symptom but it’s probably from all the Easter chocolate I’ve been eating 😂

6DPO is super early though so you’re definitely still in 😊

I’m going to try and hold out until 9 DPO to test if I can!

@TheKhakiLion omg I know how you feel! I’ve been bloated everyday, incredibly tired and nauseous. I’ve just sat here tonight as well and I’ve shooting pains going through my boobs and they suddenly have grown!! I definitely think it is all linked to my period though. Thanks hun, I’m hoping I could still be in with a chance! How are you feeling tonight??

😂 @JM1997 you putting your PJ’s on made me giggle!!

I’m going to test next Tuesday. It can’t come quick enough!

@JM1997 those all sound like exciting symptoms! Do you normally feel any of those at this time of the month?
I feel ok thanks hun! Feeling very normal which I know doesn’t really mean anything at this point, kind of hoping for some more symptoms!!
When would you be due? I was always soo against having a Christmas baby but now I think it would be so lovely!

JM1997 · 05/04/2024 21:37

@GSD2024 honestly, I couldn’t believe I did that, my partner was like what are you doing, and it took a couple of seconds for me to actually realise I was putting them on!! You’ve got this, I am due on the 11th April, so I’m going to test if I miss my period as I’m quite regular. Let me know how your test goes!

@TheKhakiLion I get cramps before my period but that is it really the rest are brand new. It is the fact my boobs feel like they’ve suddenly inflated, and even my partner is noticed, normally my period doesn’t affect them! But who knows it could just be a weird period this time round, I’m not getting my hopes up, with having had a negative test yesterday!
You never know they could come, don’t give up!! I think so, aw yeah a Christmas baby would be lovely, but who knows if I’ll be pregnant on this cycle!😊

I've not really been symptom spotting I've made myself too busy haha!
But now today my boobs have started feeling tender, my last pregnancy the only sign I had was sore boobs until the sickness kicked in 🫣
I'm 6dpo tomorrow but with the sore boobs and 2 days cramps I might not be able to resist testing in the morning 🤣🤣💖

@Hannah4850 that is so good that you haven’t been symptom spotting. Those symptoms that you do have sound promising, I know what you mean it is so hard to resist. I tested at 6dpo with a clear blue weeks test thing and it said not pregnant, my heart literally sank. I have started to come to terms that it might not happen this cycle but praying that I don’t get my period, and then I can take a test!

@JM1997 i know how hard it is not to test early, but 6DPO is so early, it doesn’t mean you’re not pregnant. I’m trying to resist until Thursday but had some tinge pink blood last night after sex (sorry tmi) and i never bleed after sex.

Yeah it's so hard when you get symptoms too!
My aches have gone now but I have sore boobs still, I'm hopeful but aware it could just be a random hormone surge and not pregnancy lol I have to ground myself 😅
I tested this morning and bfn which helps kill the excitement haha 🤣🤣💖

@Hannah4850 absolutely it is so hard, the boobs are a good symptom though! What does BFN mean apologies, I’m so new to all of this??
I’ve just been doing some reading up on ovulation etc, which I found to be quite interesting! If I don’t get pregnant this time there are definitely changes I’m going to make for which days we have sex on! I am also going to get a clear blue ovulation kit as well and use that to help me show accurately when I am ovulating! Any tips that you’ve send them my way!

@GSD2024 the pink tinge sounds promising let us know how it goes when you test! Thank you, I’m trying so hard to resist.

@JM1997 BFN means ‘big fat negative’ which means negative test

I've always used the cheap Amazon OPKs (ovulation tests) and they've been amazing every time
We didn't even try this month! I ovulated like 3 days early and I'm due to start uni in September so we were trying to be careful but we firmly believe in everything happens for a reason and we do want a last baby so we're excited haha 😁
