Anyone had sharp pains at 6dpo and gone onto have bfp?

Currently 6dpo and have been getting sharp pains in my right side on and off all day. Hoping to myself it's implantation. Has anyone had this at 6dpo and gone onto have a bfp and how long after?

Hi @JadeC13 im currently 7dpo and have been experiencing this. Yet to test but fingers crossed for a bfp x

JadeC13 · 13/01/2026 14:32

Fingers crossed it's a good sign! When do you think you will test?

I’m supposedly due on, on Monday 19th so probably do a test Saturday and Sunday and see how I get on. What about you?

JadeC13 · 13/01/2026 15:12

Well done for holding out in testing, I'm due on Tuesday but I already know I'll be testing Thursday/Friday!
Let me know how you get on and hopefully these stabbing pains actually mean something

I’m 6dpo today and feeling period like symptoms. No way of knowing if it’s progesterone preparing for period or preparing for pregnancy.

InWithPeaceOutWithStress · 13/01/2026 17:55

I’m also due Tuesday

JadeC13 · 13/01/2026 19:59

Glad there's someone in the same boat! Do you know when your going to test or are you able to wait until the Tuesday?

👋 Hi I’m 6dpo today too and feeling bloated and crampy but trying not to get my hopes up. Good luck everyone!

JadeC13 · 14/01/2026 07:56

Fingers crossed for you too @Yessiryessir3bagsfull!
I'm also super bloated but I can't think if I normally am at this time. It's so hard to not get your hopes up isn't it.
Keep us updated :)
I know I shouldn't be thinking of taking a test tomorrow 🫣

I want to wait until Monday as it should be accurate by then. I’ve had so many BFNs it’s maddening. Hoping to keep busy and distracted at the weekend to take my mind of it. I may cave on Friday though as I’ll be home and don’t have much on..!

Is your plan to test every day from tomorrow @JadeC13?

I stupidly took a test this morning, obviously negative, not sure why I do it to myself!
I'll probably take cheap ones from tomorrow and if I see anything, I have one first response I can use.

Do you have anymore symptoms? Aside from waking up at 4am every morning for the last 3 days, not feeling too much now. Aside from tiredness but that's probably from the early mornings!

I took a test this morning too and I’m 9dpo and didn’t see anything. I don’t have much hope. Feel like I’m going to come on though. Keep going to the toilet because I feel like I’ve come on but nothing. Achy back and feel sicky and tired and horrible taste in my mouth but could all just be PMS!

InWithPeaceOutWithStress · 15/01/2026 13:03

I’m 8dpo and it’s so tempting to test. I find testing so addictive, I’m possibly even worse with testing LH, wanting to see it darken and catch the peak. I burned through so many LH tests this month! I use Easy at Home tests so they are cheap so it’s not cost that’s an issue. It’s just so much better mentally to be distracted and not overly focused.

I just have period like symptoms, nothing unusual but I know my attention to them is heightened.

I’ve been referred to an IVF clinic as I’ve been ttc for a really long time with no success and my first appointment is in a couple of weeks, so I know my chances are low but I still hope for that positive! I’ve got a last couple of attempts to achieve pregnancy naturally…

Good luck to everyone and it’s only natural to test as we want to know!

JadeC13 · 15/01/2026 14:16

It's cruel how are bodies trick us into thinking something is happening! We are all still in just now so got my fingers crossed for all of us.
I've had a sharp ache in my side all afternoon again while also feeling like I'm going to come on. Hopefully a good sign for us

Sorry you've been trying for so long @InWithPeaceOutWithStressbut hopefully your referral will help!

Is it bad that I also want to test tonight, your right it's so addictive!

OP posts:
Yessiryessir3bagsfull · 15/01/2026 16:53

Also addicted to testing 🙈 I tested this morning too which was obviously negative. I don’t really have any symptoms now except an on and off stabbing pain on one side this afternoon. Sorry you have been trying for a long time @InWithPeaceOutWithStress it’s heartbreaking every month but I’m glad you got the IVF referral. Never give up hope though, with our first we ended up conceiving the month we had our initial GP appointment and referral for blood tests to start investigating why it wasn’t happening

JadeC13 · 16/01/2026 10:10

Tested again this morning.. Negative.

OP posts:
Yessiryessir3bagsfull · 16/01/2026 10:12

Me too, gutted! I know there is still time but losing hope now.

JadeC13 · 16/01/2026 10:14

Same here. Fingers crossed for tomorrow!

OP posts:
InWithPeaceOutWithStress · 16/01/2026 11:37

Sorry for your negatives @JadeC13 @Yessiryessir3bagsfull but there is definitely still time. Implantation could be occurring now and hcg needs a few more days to rise x

And thank you for your thoughts. It does reassure me to know that even if this cycle isn’t successful I’ve got a plan for next steps.

How are you getting on @Bubs94, have you tested again?

Smartie87 · 16/01/2026 12:15

Hi everyone, I’m 8dpo today and got bfn this morning. Like all of us I’m feeling desperate to see a positive. Really wish I hadn’t tested because feeling less hopeful now! Fingers crossed for bfp for us all over the next couple of days 🙏

JadeC13 · 16/01/2026 13:43

Hi @Smartie87
I'm the same, wish I had waited a few more days. It makes you feel like 6our out before you even are
@InWithPeaceOutWithStressAre you still planning on testing Monday?

OP posts:
InWithPeaceOutWithStress · 16/01/2026 15:45

Yes that’s still my plan… I think it helps that I’ve committed to that here!
