Who else needs will power to not symptom spot or poas early?

Nooooo!
Well don't get upset, 9DPO is likely too early to get a BFP. Have your cramps stopped? Hope so.

I daren't test yet, I'm waiting until at least Monday. Thankfully we're away for the weekend so I won't be anywhere near a pee test.

by the way I failed my resolve and did my last pee test..it was BFN. Very bad Sam!

Sorry to hear you lost a baby recently sam. Our symptoms are similar and we're both on 9DPO - every finger and toe is crossed ;) Go away niggley cramps!

Hi mummyabroad your mc sounds horrendous, you deserve some good luck so heres to some good or better news xx xx

I'm due on the 5th so fingers crossed no AF for either of us. I've had those horrible niggley cramps start this afternoon so I've not got much hope.

Send me some of your BFP power!

My temps have climbed steadily since OV (usually I get a saw-tooth effect: up, down, up, down) and this weekend I?ve been really tired, feel under-the-weather and my boobs are tender. Yesterday at 8DPO there was a little temp drop, I got excited thinking it might be you-know-what, but today it was the same lower temp so I?m not sure. AF isn?t due until 6th/7th Sept and I?m trying so hard not to think about it but it?s impossible!!!

Good luck everyone!

Hope you are all still there. Congratulations Grumpyfish, I REALLY hope to be joining you in a BFP this month.
My temps have been steady for the first time since losing my baby in March. It rose from ovulation until yesterday when it dipped and went back up this morning (now 9dpo). Every other month I would have been reaching for an early pregnancy test by now but I am being good and waiting for my period (I will be good, I will). Five very long days and counting.
I've felt really sick in the night and when I wake up first thing for the past 4 days. It goes away when I've eaten. My husband has been commenting on my boobs for the past few days as well saying they look "massive". I don't think they do but he does spend more time looking at them than me! This one is weird, since yesterday my stomach has felt really tight but it's been VERY bloated ever since I ovulated. It doesn't hurt, it's just annoying that I exercise every day and I look like a beach ball. Clearly though if this does turn out to be a pregnancy symptom I'll be more than happy to deal with it if I get my baby.

Can I join you?

Congrats to the lucky ones!

Feel a bit of a fraud because I have been straddling the miscarriage/pregnancy loss section and conception section and dont know which camp I am in!

I had a miscarriage with complications that lasted 4 months (yes 4 bloody months) and am only 6.5 weeks from ERPC, so shouldnt technically be trying yet...

BUT at my last check up the doc told me I was ovulating and couldnt resist giving it a go. Started to remember how therapuetic sex can be in stressful situations too, and havnet looked back since!

Now I am waiting for first period after ERPC (good news) or BFP (better news!) or back to the docs to be put on progesterone or the pill (very crap news)

Also I have gone test mad, as obsessed as obsessed can be.

So I'v more or less given up hope on being preg, still have all these weird symptoms though. Think I'm going to book an appointment with the GP.

Hellooooooooooooo everyone, just had to wade in as this seems to be a lucky thread, congrats on the bfp's!

sitting here looking at 2 lovely pink lines on a Tesco test. There was an obvious second line almost the moment the pee hit the stick... hoping this is a good sign because with the un-sticky ones I have had much fainter lines (squinty / hold up to light) even with FMU. Everything crossed that this one's a stayer...

Did you test hairy? your symptoms sound quite promising, but it's really early - maybe better to hold off a few days? Agree though that not symptom spotting is impossible, the best I could ever manage was setting a test date a few days down the line and not testing till then, but it has never stopped me obsessing over every twinge.

I have again woken up to sky-rocketing temps, am exhausted (although not been sleeping too well due to needing to get up to pee loads!) and feeling a little nauseous. AF is at least 2 days late. DH and DS have been sent to Tesco to pick up a test, am 14 DPO so thinking that if +ive it should show by now, even if not FMU... wish me luck! Might not be back here until this evening, have loads on today (but just want to sleep...).

Hi Grumpy yes, it's me although I've been lucky to only have one so far LOL .

I am really trying not to see symptoms but I can't help it! I can do a first response tomorrow, but I'm really not sure if I should. 'symptoms' so far include spots on boobs and very sore nipples (and I can't remember if I usually get that this long after ovulation) - as well as feeling slightly nauseaous and quite tired. I had an unbelievable craving for fried chicken earlier, and when I ate it it tasted super salty! (although that could just be that I'm greedy of course!)

Pinky also meant to say, sorry about your neg tests, that is confusing. Hope you get it resolved one way or another soon. Are you totally sure of when you ov'd and usual luteal phase length?

Hello hairy, do I remember you from the recurrent MC thread a while back? That's a few days of distracting to go for you then.... I'm just plain confused today, only thing to suggest might be pg is missing AF and high temps (unless an itchy belly button is a pg sign?!), none of my "usual" pg symptoms.... Am personally looking forward to being distracted by X-Factor later on, nothing like no-brain telly!

I need distracting! I'm in cd 22!

Congratulations Mrsflux. Great news.

More cramps. They went away for a few days but seem to be back and indigestion is awful. I woke up with it today. Just had some Gaviscon to try to settle it.
Still neg on the tests though

Yay mrsflux! Hope the shock has subsided a little!

I am still here, still no AF. Have been feeling a little tired and nauseous but not been sleeping well so that would explain that. Now 13 DPO and temps have risen consistently every day since 8 DPO, but overall I still don't feel pg.

Will test tomorrow or Monday if still no AF. Hope you are now having a celebratory herbal tea mrsf!! . Thanks by the way for your post yesterday evening that has given me a little bit of hope!

Let us know how you get on tomorrow mrsflux. No change with me really, still no AF, if not turned up by tomorrow will consider officially late. Is win-win really for me, either am pg (feel this is unlikely) or have achieved my longest luteal phase (12 days so far) since I put all of my efforts into improving it. Oddly don't feel like testing though, pretty much sure it would be negative.
