Welcome to our new thread where everyone's welcome. Sit back with your favourite drink and get all those 'suspicious' symptoms off your chest including the ever popular suspicious boob (sb).

If you're squeamish this may not be the thread for you, as this thread is dedicated to those with strange goings on where no symptom is TMI.

Good luck to us all for that elusive BFP to arrive soon. Who'll be the first to get one?

row fingers crossed for symptoms asap :) My implantation story- I was utterly convinced it was af- was awaiting my first natural bleed in years before starting ivf treatment thus not trying that month had utterly given up. I cant say for definite when I ovulated (had just come off clomid felt bloody shocking for 8 months) felt all over the place. It was the kind of bleeding you get before proper af comes the next day if that makes sense? It lasted 24 hours and then it had gone. It was bright red and I had none of the "pinky blood stained mucus" which is often spoken of. I felt like i was about to come on. Had horrible windy feeling too. Hth :) Now a TMI Warning, if you are eating I'm sorry. Cm, irony smelling- any ideas? ifatfirst Im so sorry af got you :( < offers chocolate, wine or both>

IfAtFirstUDontSucceed · 01/09/2010 18:36

Well it appears that I jumped the gun (once again), no testing for me this weekend as AF arrived today Angry

row78, I begun to have blood tests earlier thi year, and then I got PG, but lost it after only a few weeks. Doc said not to go back for another year - as if!

row78 · 01/09/2010 17:48

shelley - I wouldn't know about MCs affecting cycles, radley would probably be the person who knows more.

jazz - a suspicious boob! How exciting! I'm bored and symptomless so can you entertain me and tell me what your implantation bleeding was like and how long after ovulating it was?

shelleylou · 01/09/2010 09:15

Thanks Jazz, i was more nervous as when i tested around this time after AF was due last cycle i had a feint positive then went on to have an MC and I'm terrified of having another one. I got a BFN but still no AF. Would my cycle legnth have altered after the MC? does anyone know?

allthatjazz · 01/09/2010 09:09

aw thank you row! You've made me feel much better. I feel shocking at the moment. Felt fine when I woke up though. Feel rather dizzy and my left boob- ow! Have hit starbucks already for a sit down, i'm meant to be shopping. Is it common for symptoms come and go? Arthur and Row I also have erratic cycles took over a year to conceive ds with help also but he was conceived naturally- a flook tbh i think. Good luck shelleylou, building up to test is an awful feeling. Hope everyone has a lovely day, its sunny here for a change :)

shelleylou · 31/08/2010 23:50

I've decided im going to suck it up and test in the morning if AF hasn't arrived by then. The timing would be quite nice EDD would be around 2 days before our 1st wedding anniversairy. Wish me luck for the morning, heres hoping its a BFP

row78 · 31/08/2010 22:38

fingers welcome, good symptoms! You can get internet cheapies to stop the third mortgage :-)

jazz - you are probably a week after ovulation, which means that you are a week away from testing, not even First Response claim to be able to pick up a pregnancy that early. You can be my cycle buddy as that matches me :-)

arthur - my periods are all erratic as well, and it took a year to conceive my son (and some help). I've just had my first month on the Clearblue Fertility Monitor and I think it helped, it showed that I ovulated later than I thought, so hoping it gives me a fighting chance this month.

Assassin - good symptoms! (as long as they are actually symptoms, if not then hope you feel better soon)

IfAtFirst - have you had any fertility tests etc and any answers if so? Good luck with testing this weekend

My tummy has been grumbling all night, I think it was my chorizo chicken though :-)

IfAtFirstUDontSucceed · 31/08/2010 20:07

Sorry, I just realised how mardy I sounded in that post.
I'm not normally that grumpy - I promise! Grin

I'm on CD26 DPO 14/15/16/who knows - don't really believe what FertilityFriend is telling me these days!

Should be due AF this weekend.

Thought I had lots of symptoms last week:
Sore nips & slightly heavier/lumpy boobs
Very tired
Feeling very grumpy & sorry for myself
cramps off & on since OV
dry Mouth & throat
Anxious/nervous feeling

All of these has disappeared apart from the lumpy boobs, and instead have been replaced with Mount Etna on my chin (PMS much?)Oh well....

I have such a sore back today,feels like something has buckled.ouch.
Felt sicky again this morning and feel sicky again now ,still have that headache too.I have noticed little bits of what looks like bloody cm for the past few days.cd19 for me so god knows what this means.

Oh nearly forgot to say huge congrats to mojo!!

shelleylou · 31/08/2010 19:05

Dont be daft you haven't killed it. I'm still being really good and nt tested dispite AF being due sat and still not arrived. hehe. So hoping I get a BFP when i test at/towards the weekend and if so it sticks.

arthursmum · 31/08/2010 18:52

Oh man, I've gone and killed another thread. Sorry! (Arthurs mum exits leaving a her shaped hole in the wall) Blush

arthursmum · 31/08/2010 17:48

Another newbie here... already mum to DS aged 4 and have been TTC since Feb 2010 - I'm a sufferer of completely erratic periods so never know if I am ovulating or not. It took a year to conceive my son and I think I was hoping that second time around would be easier - fat chance. Seeing that others are convincing themselves that everything is a pregnancy symptom has been a huge relief for me, I thought I was the only one who spends all day convincing myself that this time it is real.

allthatjazz · 31/08/2010 17:16

row the strechy clear cm was last week. So I guess this would make me in the 2ww? sorry I am not very clued up on this malarky.
I take it, it would be too early to test?

FingersAndToesCrossed10 · 31/08/2010 17:12

Newbie here...Please can I join the group??

Well Hubby and I are on month 10 of TTC baby number 1 and I must have convinced myself that I was pregnant every single month now. If I'm honest I'm finding it quite depressing, we went to the doctors a couple of weeks ago and were told to pull ourselves together and enjoy all the extra s*x... very supportive!! Hmm

On day 23 of 28 day cycle...so symptoms this month...

Sore boobs
Bigger nips (I could be imagining this!)
Feeling a bit sickie (again could be all in my head)
Tired
Cramps for a couple of weeks

I'm sure I had these symptoms before we were TTC but I'm now so psycho obsessed with my body! Blush Have almost had to take second mortgage out due to the amount of tests I've consumed!! Have now told myself not to test early as I reckon I'm jinxing myself but don't have the strength not to test!! Confused

Wishing and hoping and praying for a BFP soon... sending lots of baby dust to you all.

allthatjazz · 31/08/2010 15:44

jazz - do you know how long ago the cm was?

I think you are meant to have ovulated once iit disappears

allthatjazz · 31/08/2010 14:48

tbh row I have no idea-I know not helpful. I am pretty Isure ovulated- judging by cm. cm is now clearish/whitish, thin lots of it.
boobs hurt and had odd cramps and my stomach muscles just feel odd/ sensitive all today.

I had implantation bleeding. It was bit of spotting lasted 24 hours or so. I dont think I felt pg at that point so I would say there is hope.

allthatjazz · 31/08/2010 14:41

ok i gave in did an internet cheapie early test- neg. I am now even more confused :( any advice? What's this feeling winded thing all about to?

row78 · 31/08/2010 14:40

jazz when is your period due?

I just went to loo, tiny, tiny amount of bleeding, miniscle even. I think I'm 7 DPO.....could it be the often discussed, but not that common implantation bleeding?

allthatjazz · 31/08/2010 10:56

Hello, I was wondering if I could join you?
I have no idea what is going on with my body. I think I may be going mad.

-I have the elusive sb, left hurts more for some reason.
-crampy feelings can be either side
-sensitive tummy- I think I look a bit bloated too.

  • had trapped wind and tad more gassy(sorry TMI)Blush
-feel like I might come on but not sure tbh.

Had a negative test but I am hoping it was just too early- I have no idea if and when I ovulated. Can you tell I am rather confused? Confused
