@CustardCream31 Morning lovely, no i've seen lots about bbt so may give it a go if nothing happens. I had a massive headache when i went to bed last night, came on so suddenly, but its gone now so no idea if that means anything! 8dpo today no obvious signs or symptoms. where are you in your cycle?

Morning! Could be something or nothing, but weird if you don't normally have headaches...? Fingers crossed it's a sign for you!
I am also 8dpo today 😅 gonna be a tense few days....

Morning. I am so disappointed in myself. Woke up with rock hard boobs and achey pain. Thought I’m 8dpo I’m just going to test. BFN. I know it’s early but these can’t be PG symptoms if negative test. I have read that progesterone is the culprit for achey boobs when pregnant and that rises before HCG so holding onto that. I have also never had a BFP at 8dpo so not sure why I have done this to myself because now feel so down. Really cross I tested. Xxx

Frustrating what we do to ourselves isn't it... easier said than done, but try and keep some hope - 8pdo is unusual/unlikely for most to test positive this early. Plus, implantation may not have even happened yet? Like I think if I am lucky this month, today is my implantation day (at 8dpo) due to the big bbt drop overnight. So would expect to test positive in a few days in theory. 29ish day cycles for me.
Good luck 💫

Joleyjojo · 13/02/2025 08:11

Fingers crossed for us all xxxxx

BeSassyPanda · 13/02/2025 08:15

Morning all. I’m 9dpo today. I’ve had a headache for the last four days!! I’m prone to headaches but never like this for so many days in a row. That’s my only prominent symptom right now that’s not usual for me!

SimJac2025 · 13/02/2025 08:30

@Joleyjojo Oh lovely I probably would have done the same. Dont ne too down on yourself we are our own woest enemy at times. 8dpo for me today. Xx
@CustardCream31 My implantation day according to.my app is tomorrow. I get the odd headache but no idea why last night's came on suddenly and I feels absolutely fine today, just gave the boobies a feel and a squeeze with Dp thinking I've lost it but they feel fine. It's going to be long this weekend lol
@BeSassyPanda Is headaches a pg symptom? Fingers crossed it means something! When are u testing xx

BeSassyPanda · 13/02/2025 08:32

@SimJac2025 i think anything can be a symptom 😂 but think headaches can be because of hormonal changes. I usually get hormonal headaches but it’ll be one day before my period / day before ovulation etc. not four days in a row. Who knows! I tested this morning BFN but 9dpo so still time

SimJac2025 · 13/02/2025 08:36

@BeSassyPanda Aw bless you. Still time for all of us. I'm still panicking ive messed up my ovulation through my own doing and I will be so annoyed with myself. Such a long dragged out two weeks this isn't it!

OP posts:
Joleyjojo · 13/02/2025 09:49

Why do we do it 😂 I had a look back at my other pregnancy test photos. I definitely had nothing until 10dpo so I don’t think I am going to test again for a few days. It’s made me feel so down. I promise I won’t because of this feeling yet I do just incase I see the obviously would be feint line 😂😂😂😂 . Never get sore boobs though which is why I have convinced myself ridiculous really.
has anyone else tested ? Or will be soon? Sending lots of positivity xx

SimJac2025 · 13/02/2025 11:56

@Joleyjojo I'm at work til 4 so a slight distraction, no pains or anything. Defo going to hold out til Sunday morning. Sending everyone baby dust vibes!

Today is 7/8DPO for me I think, if OPK are correct. I went for my progesterone blood test this morning early before work. As for symptoms - no sore boobs at all. On the way home from work though I felt nauseous, and dizzy headed, and a weird cotton wool dryness weird taste in mouth. That is probably just my body trying to replenish my blood though! Or my usual heartburn. I ate a snack since I got in and nausea is a bit better.

@SimJac2025 Yeah I definitely never got any symptoms until at least 5-6 weeks, although maybe I just wasn't looking for them then. This time I am trying not to but I am symptom spotting. Good luck for testing this month, hopefully it's your month.

@Joleyjojo I'm so sorry about your chemical. Please don't feel bad about testing early, I told myself I wasn't going to and I did the exact same thing this morning at 7/8 DPO - stark white negative. I hope this is your month also.

@CustardCream31 I'm so sorry about your mmc. I am planning to start BBT properly next cycle, although waking up at the same time each morning may be hard.

SimJac2025 · 13/02/2025 17:26

@laidir Sorry to hear about your BFN. Its so tough isn't it, sometimes I wonder why we do this then realise its for a little person and if your not going through it/been through it its impossible to understand. My mum bangs on you didn't know in my day til 20 weeks gone none of this two week wait and scans at 6 weeks etc etc, hard to not lost my temper which is wearing thin! Have resisted testing but no symptoms today feel 100% normality :(

Hugs to you. I know exactly how you feel re. unhelpful mum comments.... I've stopped talking to mine about anything pregnancy or health related. Stresses me out too much with her ridiculous comments.
I've had a stressful day at work on top of worrying about everything else, and have caved and having a glass of wine.......

Joleyjojo · 13/02/2025 19:33

My mom is always saying don’t test early . What’s the point etc etc . It’s so annoying. She is desperate for me to have another and every month she is like so how are you any news 😂😂 we are really close and she has known before me in some occasion but the comments do annoy me.
I have been down all bloody day . I’m naturally quite loud and because I haven’t been so many have asked if I’m ok. Not sure how I didn’t burst into tears. I know ibhave said it a 100000 times but I have no idea why I do it. And knowing me I will prob decide to do another when I get in . Knowing my urine will be diluted just incase lol

SimJac2025 · 13/02/2025 19:53

@CustardCream31 I'm having a glass of cider! I'm so glad i'm not the only one with the mum comments, dont bother testing, you'll soon know when you start getting a bump, stop worrying, list is enddddlesss!!!
@Joleyjojo Its hard to keep a positive happy smiling face on isn't it, when all you want is a BFP on that test. My new tests came today, have been good and put them upstairs for now lol... so tempted to test in the morning but not going to do cos i'll be a more miserable bitc& if its negative.

Hi everyone hope you don't mind me tagging along. I'm dpo 1 tomorrow. This is cycle number 5 of TTC after a MMC in June last year.

SimJac2025 · 13/02/2025 20:18

@littlefox90 Hey your more than welcome to join. Sorry about your MMC. I am TTC #1 on Cycle 5, I am 8dpo with absolutely no symptoms whatsoever

OP posts:
littlefox90 · 13/02/2025 20:59

It's so frustrating isn't it? I hate the TWW so much 😫
This would be number 2. My first daughter will be 18 next month! I'm 34 so hopefully still have time yet 😊

SimJac2025 · 13/02/2025 21:14

@littlefox90 Wow your really starting again lol. You have loads of time! x

Hope you're all ok. Been watching along but haven't had much to add other than I'm also 8ish DPO now too and not feeling any symptoms.
I'm never positive about it all at this stage but as it gets closer to AF date, I can't help but have hope and start dreaming which is often the worst when AF turns up.
Like you said you don't know until you've been through it.
I haven't told anyone at all that we are trying as can bare the hope of others too.
Wondering how long I will last until 1st test

SimJac2025 · 13/02/2025 21:31

@TTCbaby2xox Hey lovely, I'm 8dpo today too. Only our close family know, no friends or work colleagues, i cant bare the questions. AF due 19th here. Resisting a test until Sunday which is tough in itself!

I've never tested more than a couple days before AF due but I have 20+ tests in this OPK this month which does change things. Due around 21st so I'll try and hold out until early next week....if I can.
Hoping for the best for you on Sunday

SimJac2025 · 13/02/2025 22:01
