I think I ovulated on CD19. Due to DH work commitments we only managed SWI once but that was on CD19. I know a BFP is still possible but we did only do it once.

It's too early to test but I have all my hopes of a BFP running through my head and symptom spotting. My body has been cruel in the past though and got my hopes up only for AF to appear.

However, this evening I am feeling quite nauseous and have had feelings like ligament pulling in my abdomen. Also slightly tender boobs.

I'm 8dpo and just want the next week to be over so I know!!!

Feel better for getting that out!

From Friday I have had bloating, cramps, expanding cleavage, bumpy leaking electric nipples, gassy, tearful, wanting to hurl at smell of aftershave. They have got progressively worse/more intense. I am only 7dpo so the thought has crossed my mind I'm insane rather than up-duffed. But I feel VERY odd and different to my usual psychotic lead up to welcoming AF. I feel like there's a mass in my lower abdomen, its uncomfortable to even try and breathe in. My boobs are gigantic. I suspect I am PG but terrified too of being disappointed and therefore certified a loon.

Joaquin Phoenix - though pre the mad tramp look please Grin.

How are your symptons raisin? I'm not experiencing anything major.

maybebabyR · 21/02/2011 12:34

Thank you loup, that means a lot x

wrinkly sorry it's a BFN for now, who knows in few days time Smile

The Joaquin Phoenix proposition made me chuckle though, especially seen as I have just cried at Midsummer Murders!! What am I like?? Smile

wrinklyraisin · 21/02/2011 12:25

I just gave in ho temptation and tested st 7dpo. predictably BFN. Will now sit on my hands til st least Wednesday. I was kind of disappointed even though I know the chances of a BFP so early are about as likely as Joaquin Pheonix knocking at my door demanding I shag him there and then.

Loup23 · 21/02/2011 12:20

going i did 5dpo, don't do it!

maybe sorry for your loss too, I really hope BFP shows x

maybebabyR · 21/02/2011 12:11

Thanks for the support everyone Smile

That's ok going, I knew what you meant Grinxxx

TeaAndOranges · 21/02/2011 12:09

Yes try and resist if it will make you feel down going, though I am terrible for testing stupidly early. I've tested this month at 2dpo, 7dpo and 8dpo!

TeaAndOranges · 21/02/2011 12:07

Congrats bump, that's such good news! Thanks for the list of symptons.

Am now not testing till Wednesday earliest, 11dpo. Still not feeling anything unusual so not hopeful but you never know!

8dpo way too early Loup, though did it myself this month, so try not to feel disappointed - you're still very much in with a chance this month.

Fx.

goingmadtrying · 21/02/2011 12:01

Only 5dpo so still got ages to go, feeling a bit negative today so I will not poas:)

goingmadtrying · 21/02/2011 11:56

Just re read my post and didn't highlight your name lol so it looks like I'm saying maybe I'll check your news Grin wishing u the best of luck xxx

Loup23 · 21/02/2011 11:54

well my amazon sticks arrived so i dont feel bad about doing more tests (DH just rolled eyes at me as they dropped throught the letterbox!)

8dpo and BFN. To be expected but still disappointing...until tomorrow. maybe like going don't want to tempt you but if you do test hope it is a BFP. going how many dpo are you now?

goingmadtrying · 21/02/2011 11:54

Argh sorry about your loss maybe I'll keep my eyes peeled for your news and hope you get the bfp you deserve xxx

maybebabyR · 21/02/2011 11:51

Haha, I just think it would be too good to be true to get a BFP in the first month of trying after my MC.

I'm being a bit of a wuss really Smile

goingmadtrying · 21/02/2011 11:47

And you would still have 2 tests left lol, I'm really sorry it's just it's far to early for me to test and I have 2 tests shouting me, you have a much greater chance of a bfp!!

maybebabyR · 21/02/2011 11:40

Haha, thanks going, it is too tempting. Sometimes I think ignorance is bliss though, it's nice doing a bit of day dreaming whilst a BFP is still a possibility Smile

maybebabyR · 21/02/2011 11:39

Ah, thank you bump, I know what you mean, every time I see someone has a BFP, I am so pleased for them!!x

goingmadtrying · 21/02/2011 11:39

Maybe I think I would test especially as bumpwanted got negative on Thursday to, sorry for tempting you just don't think I could wait just incase it was my time too, and you do have 3 tests waiting for you Grin

Bumpwanted · 21/02/2011 11:32

Def fingers crossed for you both. I still think that sounds positive Loup and Maybe I think the late AF is a good sign too. I am in awe of your self control!

I so want you both to get BFPs!!! Keep me posted (never thought I would be so interested in two people I don't know peeing on a stick!) Grin

maybebabyR · 21/02/2011 11:17

Thanks loup have my fingers firmly crossed for us both x

Loup23 · 21/02/2011 11:12

Good luck maybe AF late is a good sign, I hope a bfp comes along soon.

I am trying to hold out until Weds as will then be 10dpo, luckily have no tests at home to tempt me otherwise.

Thanks for symptoms bump. I don't really have any apart from big sore boobs (but expected before AF) and weird on/off bleeding until saturday (6dpo) - AF not due for another week.

Good luck to all. maybe hope wednesday brings us good news xx

maybebabyR · 21/02/2011 11:04

Haha, I know, those 3 minutes can seem like the longest ever!!

I have set a Wed deadline too. I am exercising my self control. I have 3 tests on my bathroom shelf, I swear they are looking at me Grinx

Bumpwanted · 21/02/2011 11:02

I got a BFN on Thurs too and then a BFP on Sat. I so hope you do too!

I totally understand not wanting to get your hopes up. The three minutes of staring at my pee on a stick at the worst ever waiting to be put out of my misery.

Have you set yourself a deadline e.g if it doesn't come by Wed I will test? I think Loup is testing then too.

xx

maybebabyR · 21/02/2011 10:59

I took one on Thursday (not FMU). AF was due yesterday, so am a bit late!

Just don't want to get my hopes up x
