7dp5dt- headache and I think AF is coming 😒

β€’29 Replies

Hello lovely ladies, not a good day for me. My usual pre AF symptom is still here and stronger no matter how much water I drink 😭on top of that, I’m in a bad mood and thinking to test tonight when I get home from work. At least I am out of my misery. I know it’s a BFN anyway. I’m planning to go straight into another FET, using our last embryo. Has anyone done that before? I don’t want to waste anymore time....

I hope you’re all in a better mood than me today πŸ’‹

I know its SOOOOOOOO hard but:

1) 7dp5det is still too early to test - some people might get BFPs before that but many don't until afterwards - it will literally achieve NOTHING but either upset you or stress you if you get your BFP and its faint/wonky line etc!!

2) AF symptoms and pregnancy symptoms are EXACTLY the same

3) A headache can also be the sign of pregnancy - and can also be side effects of the progesterone

Try and be strong - but more importantly stay calm. I totally get how hard it is having done 3 previous rounds... but stressing isn't going to help your little embryo!

Good luck! Deep breaths! xx

I totally agree with Daisy1245! Remain calm and positive β™₯οΈπŸ’« I gave up hope too early and ended up having a chemical. Who knows what would have happened if I stayed happy and relaxed. It's so important, so dont lose hope πŸ₯°

in reply to Littlepeax

Yep agree, I wish I could see what’s going on in my tummy! This β€˜not knowing’ and being tricked by the meds’ situations kill me! I don’t want to be hopeful because when I allowed myself to be back in 2016 I was so heart broken when I got the BFN (after a tragic EC and development) that I didn’t even want to talk about trying again until 2019 (silly mistake because I’ve wasted so much time but hey ho) πŸ€πŸ€πŸ€πŸ€πŸ€πŸ€When I see parents strolling with their kids at the mall I look at them as if they were driving a Ferrari πŸ˜‚thinking I’ll never get one! (Excuse the comparison lol)

I know, its defo easier to take control and test. But most people regret it afterwards β™₯️ it just made me 10x more upset and stressed. Next time I'm just going to wait for my OTD

Haha you will get your Ferrari one day πŸ₯°

I’m in same mood but without the safe thoughts of an embryo in the freezer πŸ€£πŸ˜‚ funny old journey πŸ˜‚πŸ’–πŸ˜˜

I seem to wake up and feel emotional in mornings, take meds, calm down, level through day, negative at night, more meds, sleep, repeat . Hard to stay positive longer than day 5 I feel . But then again we ACTUALLY have no clue πŸ€·πŸΌβ€β™€οΈπŸ€ͺ🀯

All I’m gonna try and do is stay calm and breathe until Saturday test day .

You can do it. Hang in thereπŸ’πŸ’πŸ’πŸ’πŸ’πŸ’

Anxious times indeed 🀯🎒🎒🎒🎒

Hugs of complete understanding πŸ’–πŸ’πŸ™πŸ»

And also alwaya test in the mirning when your urine is more concentrated. Good luck. You are mot out yet. Head ache can be an early pregnancy symptom too. Good luck.

It is so hard to stay positive isn’t it but just yourself busy as much as possible. Eat, watch tv, go shopping, have a nap, do whatever take your fancy and don’t feel guilty about it! Hang in there, no long now x

Keep busy! Don’t test! You might get a false negative if you do and feel crap, wait until day 9 or 10 if you can xxx

in reply to Scarlett13

Nope not testing, just because I don’t want to see the stark white test again 😱

Snap! I've been craving sugar all day and feeling argumentative with anyone that comes near me. I feel like this means my transfer didn't work. I keep thinking if testing early coz I know in my heart its over but my husband doesn't let me. I think I'm going crazy.
