5dpo today!

[Hannah4850]

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 😊

@Hannah4850 that sounds like a lovely day! It is so hard to wait isn’t it. They seem like the right symptoms. I just seem to be getting cramping and sore boobs now, and nauseous🙈

Yeah me too but I'm thinking that if I am getting pregnancy related symptoms then surely I'd have a bro before it?? Like it's the hcg that causes them so if I have a bfn then I'm guessing it's for something else 😭😭
Trying to not get your hopes up is tough!

I am 5dpo today and can't wait to test ! I wasn't actually trying for pregnancy but it happened to be that I dtd bang on my peak day so fingers crossed I can get a positive in a few weeks. I actually got pregnant the first time with my second the same way dtd on peak day with ovo tests but not sure what will happen this round. I have irregular periods so my Flo App says to test on the 25th April feels forever but in the past I got a faint BFP by 10dpo

@Hannah4850 that is true it is so hard to get excited about certain symptoms because you don’t want to get your hopes up!! It is honestly so bloody tough!

@butterflywingss good luck, let us know you yet on. I’m 10dpo today and I’m so tempted to test but I’m really trying to hold off until I miss my period, as my periods are always on time, but I honestly really want to test! I may test tomorrow morning! I got a negative at 6dpo and my heart sunk so not sure I am ready to do it again!!

Oh bless, it's so hard not to test. I literally have a box of pregnancy tests I've taken because they are that addictive haha. When is your period due ?

@butterflywingss it honestly is!! I only have one test but I might just use it tomorrow and then order more! It is due on Thursday!! I just can’t describe the feeling but since me and my partner had sex my body just feels so different, like cramps, nauseous, boob pains, headaches, cramps etc!

Morning ladies. Is anyone testing this morning 🤞 I’m going to test tomorrow, but keeping everything crossed for those who are testing today

@GSD2024 morning lovely! So I ordered some more tests last night and I’m so tempted to test today. But I’ll see what time the tests arrive as ideally I want to test in the morning as the HCG apparently is meant to be the highest. I feel like this week is D DAY with me due on this week, it has felt like forever getting to this week though. Are you going to test??

Can I join?
7dpo today, negative test this morning but my boobs are noticeably bigger feel heavy and I'm so nauseous this morning.
Will take another test in the morning.

@Howdoyouwait they sound like good symptoms, I had those symptoms on Friday! But I know how you would have felt after you took the test, I took mine at 6dpo and got a negative. I am now 11 dpo, and I’m trying so hard not to test, but I’ve bought some more tests and so tempted to use them! Let us know how the testing goes!

Morning ladies!
I'm 8dpo today and bfn 😭😭😭
I've got that gut feeling I'm not and it sucks !
My boobs are sore, I'm exhausted and feeling down today I had the runs last night too and was hopeful but definitely a bfn 😔😔
Last time I think it was either 9 or 11dpo I got a faint positive but I ovulated like 3/4 days early this cycle and think I missed it 😫

I was fully expecting negative as it's so early but somehow convinced myself it was worth a try anyway.

We could only DTD 5 days before ovulation so my chances are extremely slim anyway and I wasn't expecting anything, but the symptoms have made me wonder, probably just symptom spotting and overthinking but will continue to test.

How are you feeling now?

@Hannah4850 morning lovely! I’m so sorry that you got a BFN😢😢 just think you aren’t out of the running yet it isn’t over until the period arrives! I know what you mean about a gut feeling though, fingers crossed still for you. Oh nooo, it is so easily done though, I think we did it too late, as we DTD two days after I was expected to ovulate, so I think I’ll have missed it too, but they do say miracles happen! If we don’t get a positive this cycle, we can go again next cycle and this time we have our group from the start to support one another. Are you going to test again tomorrow?

@Howdoyouwait I know how you feel, I was the same when I tested at 6dpo, you almost convince yourself that there are enough symptoms there for you to test positive!
Absolutely, continue to test, and keep us in the loop!
I am okay, just feeling quite tired, boobs feel massive, I keep getting headaches, have cramps frequent urination and nauseous. I am really trying not to symptom spot too but it is so hard to do!

Yeah I remember last time too I had a random day of anxiety and feeling down then got a Bfp a couple days later and we put it down to the hormones but if we don't this cycle then definitely we can all do the next together 😁

@Hannah4850 honestly your hormones and emotions are all over the place aren’t they throughout this journey!! Absolutely, we will have one another. I have just checked and my tests aren’t due to be delivered from Amazon until 10pm, so I think it is a sign not to test today, as they say the morning tests are the most reliable don’t they!! But once they arrive I may just have an urge to test!!

I’ve got another symptom! I’m definitely symptom spotting today, I just tried to have some pasta and I wanted to throw it up!! So I’m now having grapes as it is the only thing I can stomach. I’m sure it is just that the pasta may have been off! Has anyone got any other symptoms?

Haha love it! 🤣
Maybe the pasta is off or maybeee your taste is off because you're brewing for a Bfp!!
I've no symptoms today barring sore boobs 😔

@Hannah4850 I know right! I’m just trying to not get my hopes up, so trying to find other ideas of the reason that I’m feeling nauseous! I mean who knows, I’ll keep you updated. I am honestly so tempted to test when these tests arrive! But at the same time I don’t want to begin my week feeling down, I feel like if I found out by my period just arriving then it will be a less down feeling as I’ll be dealing with the pain of a period! Ooooh that is still a good symptom. Have you got shooting pains in your boob as I had them on Friday??

I completely get you! I can't help but test it's so bad 😅
I had shooting pains yesterday in my book s but only the odd one
I've just been the toilet and a huge gob of snotty looking stuff when I wiped but could be nothing 🤷🏻‍♀️
I'm in the office today so can't test even if I want to which helps haha, I'll probs test again when I get home, you have willpower I don't 🫣

@Hannah4850 that is what I had on Friday! That sounds like it could be something! That is good that you’re at work to keep yourself distracted! I am off today so going to need to distract myself! Thinking I’m gonna go on a dog walk in a bit to distract myself haha!! Let me know if you test!

Haha I'll deffo be testing tonight again I test 3 times a day 🤣🤣
Unless I see a faint line then I do it like 200x to drive myself extra crazy!
I've got some FRER coming today too I'll do one in the morning unless I get a faint line ok a cheapie 🫣
My partner and I have a nice date day planned tomorrow while the kids are in school, I have my own business so I've not booked clients in and could do with another say of distraction

@Hannah4850 love that, I think I’ve decided I’m going to test this evening!! That is such a good idea to get lots of cheap ones! That sounds like the perfect date day, and a fantastic day for you to take your mind off it! I love that we are all on the same journey together!

Yeah I use cheap ones then if I see a line even a faint one I use a FRER 😅
Yeah and even if one of us gets a Bfp I'd still follow their journey !
Imagine if we both got a line though that would be so cool haha fingers crossed for us both 🤞🏻
