  • Hey Jane!! I’m around a similar time at 7dpo / 8dpo 
    I’ve also been thinking I have symptoms but maybe it’s in my mind, I never usually get period symptoms this early before it arrives! Just have to wait and see!
  • Hey Marnie! 
    Thanks for your reply! 

    I spent all weekend feeling like AF was about to join me. I’ve had some weird stabbing pains to my lower stomach on the right side so I have no idea. 

    I don’t want to symptom spot - but I can’t help myself! 🤣

    How are you feeling?

  • Seems like we’re in very similar positions! I’ve been getting light cramping around my lower abdomen and a little almost sharp pain in my left side that comes and goes! Where my ovary is! It’s my boobs that are making me question whether I could be or not! It was the reason I figured out I was pregnant over a month ago! 
    AF due in 7 days so hopefully it stays away 😂 nightmare waiting!

    Wow @mrsc102025 I think you are definitely pregnant! Can’t believe it’s showing up so clearly so soon. I’m 3dpo today and got the weirdest stabbing pain for about 30 seconds (a bit like a stitch but further down) in my left side this morning when I got up! Feel like it’s far too early to be anything significant though....
    I was 3dpo yesterday and had exactly the same feeling yesterday when I jumped out of bed last night! Let’s hope it’s a good sign! 
  • My boobs aren’t doing anything. They feel heavy and today they feel hot but when AF is due they feel that way too! 

    I’ve just done my first round of Clomid as I had a blocked tube (which is now thankfully ok) I had a scan last week which showed a dominant follicle at 21mm on my right side, (which would explain my pains I suppose) which sounded promising and a huge step in the right direction - ovulating !! 

    We’ve not told anybody of our struggles and sometimes I just need to release as it can be quite a lonely place to be! 

    I’m sorry to hear of your mc a friend of mine has had the same recently. X
  • Aw no way glad everything is okay now! Yeah I know what you mean! I felt like talking about miscarriage was a bad thing but it’s nothing to be ashamed about!
    So me and my partner have just been seeing how things go recently and I’ve been taking seven seas trying for a baby since the day after my miscarriage x
  • No shame at all, in fact I encouraged my friend to talk about it and share her feelings. This was her fifth loss so she’s now waiting to see a specialist. It’s incredibly cruel at times. 

    Let me know how you get on wont you. Are you tempted to test before AF day is due? I would be, and i have Sticks in the house too 😂 X
  • It has really helped me move forward! Aw god bless her!
    I’m keeping my fingers crossed for both of us this month! We’ll have to come back and keep each other updated! I’m so impatient to test and I have tests sat in my bedside draw! Nightmare! 😬😂 x
  • I had a chemical a few years ago so I can’t begin to imagine what it’s like, but she was broken as she got to 9 weeks this time so we thought we were over the worst as she usually only gets to 6/7 weeks. 
    Sometimes there is no reason as to why and apparently it’s quite common. 

    I’d test, I know, I’m a bugger I can’t help myself. I got a very very faint positive this morning, but I don’t believe it. So I’m holding out until next week. 🤣 it drives me insane - so I decided to join this group today so I can talk to people in the same situation and know I’m not completely losing the plot ! Haha. X

    Fingers crossed! i’ve also had some cm today which was white and creamy (sorry for tmi) which is unusual for me at this time of my cycle. Don’t usually get much post-ovulation.

    What is everyone doing to try and pass the time before AF/they can test? One more week for me to wait..... 
  • No way Jane!! I’m sure that’s your positive then!! If you can see a line! 
    Hey Laura, I’m struggling to wait haha! I’ve also got 7 days till AF so we’ll see as the time get closer! X
  • Marnie - I cant believe it as it was super faint! And I feel no different. 

    Laura - any tips on how to keep busy please let me know! We go away in September and my spare bedroom is like Primark in the sales so I could sort that out - but I’d much rather google symptoms 😂😂😂 I need to get a life! 
  • I’m gonna hold off until next Sunday at least (haha we will see if I can keep to that). 

    I have cleaned my house from top to bottom this weekend (including tidying drawers and washing curtains). I normally run A LOT to keep myself sane but have dropped my mileage right down as I felt like it was affecting my fertility so I have even more time to google than usual! A little 7 mile run this morning helped.... 

    @Jane237 OMG! Send us a pic? 
  • I like to go for walks with our bouncy lab, but I’ve lost all motivation! 

    The test is that faint you can’t see it when I upload to here. I’ve put it on the tweak app people use ....let me see if I can upload here ....give me 5! 

    You’ve put me to shame doing all the housework and I can’t even be bothered to sort the spare room out 🤣🤣 X 
  • Can barely see it 🙄
  • The wait for me is on!! 
    I cant tell if I can see where that line is or if it’s because I’m looking so hard for it! Hopefully it’s your positive x
  • How many dpo are you? Sure it will get darker as the days go on! 

    Dog walks are a great distraction and good for you too! I lost my beagle in Feb so have missed getting out and about but get a puppy in 3 weeks. Keep telling myself if it’s not my month this month, at least I will have something else to focus on 😊

    haha I’m one of those strange people that enjoys cleaning....
  • I know Marnie - that’s why I can’t believe it. It’s still so early anyway. What will be will be! I won’t test again now for a week. X
  • Laura - I’m either 7 or 10 dpo A’s has cm over 2/3 days so can’t be sure. Im just happy I’ve ovulated - a big step from where we’ve come from. 

    I enjoy cleaning too- I look for things to wash ie I’ll take my curtains down 😂

    sorry to hear about your Beagle - you know getting a puppy will endure you’ll get a BFP don’t you ..... 🤣 
    yes a good walk with my dog always clears my head X
