7dpo symptoms (I know it’s super early!)

Hi ladies,
Think I’m just looking for reassurance that this month could turn out to be the bfp. I am 7dpo today and dtd frequently over fertile days. My symptoms have been:
2dpo - intense cramping in right ovary area, only lasted about 30seconds though
5dpo - some light cramping and some increased creamy CM
6dpo - raised resting heart rate, creamy CM, light cramps
7dpo - dizziness, nausea, creamy CM, light cramping, slightly lower heart rate than yesterday but still higher than usual, slight pain on the underside of one boob
Any opinions welcome 🙏🏻 Thanks in advance 🥰

Hi! Unfortunately no reassurance as I'm in the same boat just a little bit behind at 8dpo! How you feeling?

Hi! I’m now 10dpo and had cramps on the lower left side and lower left back pain yesterday. Symptoms have basically all disappeared today though apart from the nausea/dizziness so I’m not holding out much hope 😢
how are you feeling?

Nausea and dizziness could still be a really positive sign! I wouldn't give up hope until AF shows 😊

I've had a few days now where symptoms have been seeming to calm down or I've been feeling something different but I feel like I've had (almost!) every symptom going 😅 sore boobs since ovulation so I can't say that's new, but I don't usually have it for AF, been cramping a bit last night and today, been a little more sensitive to smells, nauseous but also so hungry and had multiple crazy vivid dreams last night. (Sorry tmi!) also noticed an increase in CM today, but it's a bit different. Clear in colour, not thin, but also not as thick as EWCM 🤔

Are you trying for your first?

I am 6dpo and starting to symptom spotting and getting crazier by the day.

If you're 10dpo you could test tomorrow at 11dpo! I got a positive at 10dpo!

@2BabyOrNot2Baby I know, trying to desperately cling onto the possibility but I just think AF will turn up next week 😭
It's so difficult in the tww trying not to symptom spot, but all your symptoms sound really promising! Do you know when you’re planning to test? The increase in CM was really noticeable for me too the last few days but has totally disappeared today.
I am trying for my first, I lost a baby at 15weeks in December 2021, it was very traumatic and needed some time to recover but have been trying for almost 2 years and it’s becoming more and more difficult seeing the BFN. My SIL has also just announced she’s pregnant and that was gut wrenching. Are you trying for your first too?

@UrsulaSings123 I feel you! The symptom spotting turns me insane too, overanalysing everything 😩
I’m trying to keep my fingers crossed but I have already tested today with a FRER and it was a BFN. Don’t know if I can bring myself to test again tomorrow out of fear of more disappointment

I'm so sorry for your loss, sending you lots of love 💖

Will be #2 for us. I have a boy of 18 months but really feel like time is getting away for a close age gap. We've only been trying for 5 months this time but took just under a year first time round so can't imagine how you're feeling. You'll get your rainbow though, promise 🥰I know it really is easier said than done, but try not to lose hope. I tested 2(?) days before my missed period with him and it was bfn, then a full week later I got my bfp! For what it's worth, I didn't really have any symptoms, I was really tired around the time of testing and my sense of smell went all weird, but COVID was still a thing around the time and it was believed that I had it (didn't, just had a pregnancy instead! 🤣)

I know where you're coming from regarding other people's pregnancies. It really is difficult seeing it. But I promise you, you'll have that time too. Perfect things take time 💕

Sorry, forgot to add
I did do a test earlier and I'm maybe 20% sure I seen something but then I'm 80% that I'm just imagining what I want 🥴 so I think I may leave it until the weekend now. My periods are all over the place, one app is predicting Saturday, the other Monday, but based on last months AF being later than expected, I'm really not sure when to expect it!

Maybe leave it a few days before you test again so the answer is more certain. I'm sorry for your loss. I had a MC 6 weeks ago at 10 weeks. We are ttc again straight away. 15 weeks is much further, could you not be referred to a miscarriage clinic as that is considered a late miscarriage (after 12 weeks). Sorry you might know that already but thought I'd mention it in case.

7dpo symptoms (I know it’s super early!)

@2BabyOrNot2Baby thank you for your kind words, I really appreciate it, it has felt like such a lonely time as no one even knew I was pregnant (we had been going to tell everyone when we seen them together, a week after I lost the baby) and I never wanted to say anything afterwards.
Five months isn’t long, but I know when you’re trying it feels like a lifetime 😩 fingers crossed you get your BFP this month, it would be lovely to have little ones so close in age! I was exactly the same when I found out I was pregnant before, I’d just had the covid jab and was convinced it was side effects from that 😂
I have a similar situation with apps predicting different days for AF, have you tried testing again today if you thought you might have seen a line yesterday? Really hope it is a BFP for you 💕

@UrsulaSings123 i think I’m going to leave it until AF is definitely late. I just don’t think I can deal with seeing another BFN.
Thank you, I appreciate that, I’m sorry for your loss too! It’s great that you were able to start trying again straight away, gives you something positive to focus on!
I have an appointment with my gp next week to get some bloods taken again regarding issues trying to conceive so I will ask about the miscarriage clinic then, thank you. It was very traumatic at 15 weeks and having to go through the whole labour process so I am willing to do anything to avoid that situation again 💕

@RaspberryNesbitt Yes that sounds terrible, I really feel for you. I'd go armed with information if you want a referral to the clinic as I'm not sure if every health care person is aware of the referral criteria as late miscarriages are not as common.

I'm so sorry you've felt that way. Do you think it'd be helpful for you to confide in at least one other person? It may help to lift some of your pain x
That's almost exactly how it was for me! I was working with someone who did have it (didn't know that), was required to take the week off whilst I got tested and awaited results, got my jab, returned to work extremely nauseous but thought it was down to that and..nope!

I did test yesterday, but nothing. Tested again today as only 10dpo and fell victim to an indent 😩 I'm convinced this month is a write off though. Something just isn't feeling right and I think AF is definitely on the way.

How are you feeling?
