Going slowly mad! Are these signs?

Hi ladies :) me and my fiancé have been trying for a while and I've got to the point where every little thing seems like a possible sign I'm pregnant, now! I was due on my period today but no sign, I've had spots popping up all over the show and I never get spots due to super dry skin. I've got really bad backache and lots of CM at the moment. Only thing is I don't want to go and get excited over nothing like I have the past months. I'm testing at the weekend when my fiancé is home from work's training course but in the meantime would love to chat to someone in the same boat! Thanks ladies :) x

This is so exciting :D I'm feeling really positive for you! They say 90% of couples conceive in the first year so you never know :D all I can say is your future baby/babies are so lucky to have parents who want them as much as you do! :) I know what you mean about pressure, we've said nothing either for the same reasons. So lovely to talk to someone in the same boat though! I'm buying a test in the morning, sooo nervous! Have you got yours? xx

Yes sort of, I have been monitoring my ovulation and I tend to ovulate at different times but my luteaul phase is always 16 days without faith and today is day 16!! It is really nice to talk to someone as no one really knows we are ttc, I didn't want the pressure of everyone questioning me! I don't want to be too hopeful, after a year it just doesnt seem possible that il get a BFP!! X

Ooh how exciting :D it's so hard because when you want something this much it's so easy I've found to almost 'create' symptoms. I've been sooo hungry these last couple of days and super hot, so I don't know if this is it or if AF is hiding round the corner like always! Is your AF pretty regular? So lovely to have someone to talk to about it! :) xx

AF hasn't arrived for me yet either, I'm really suprised! :-D I've been feeling abit sick today but I'm not sure if it's the thought of AF arriving or genuine sickness!! Fingers crossed, nothing arrives and tommorow we get our BFP!! Would be the most lovely thing ever! X

Hope AF made no appearance today! Despite aches I've not yet had AF show herself, so you never know! Hopefully you'll get your BFP on Mother's Day weekend, how lovely would that be! :Dxx

It really is hard isn't it? You're so right about it being emotionally draining too! No wonder I feel so knackered! I've got definite AF cramps this evening so I think it's all over for me once again this month :( still keeping my fingers crossed for you though :D if there's still no sign of AF on Saturday I'll rest with my OH, otherwise it'll be next month!
Boo! Let me know how your test goes! Fingers crossed xx

I do keep telling myself that I'm still in with a chance! Yes il see what happens tommorow and if AF doesn't arrive I will test. I know people tell you it can take a while, but I always thought it would only take a few months and with every month that goes by it gets more and more stressful! When are you planning on testing?

You never know though! :) one of my friends got a BFN and had two AFs whilst in early pregnancy - when she found out she was almost 3 months! So I'll still keep my fingers crossed for you because this could be the month! We've been ttc now for 6 months, which sounds nothing to most people but feels like forever! Are you going to test again in a few days? xx

I know my AF is due tommorow, did a test on Wednesday (no willpower whatsoever!!) and was a bfn so don't think there is much hope! But it's not over until AF arrives! No one ever prepares you for what a hard and emotionally draining journey ttc is! Have you been ttc long? X

Thank you I promise I will :) I totally feel your pain though, every time I feel even slightly nauseas I'm thinking, this is it! It's so hard not to get yourself all worked up, I hate seeing those BFN! x

Hi Alice!
Sounds hopefully-but I have never been pregnant (despite a year of trying :() so that's only a guess, I spend about ten days every cycle thinking I could be! If AF hasn't arrived I have my fingers crossed for you it's looking good-keep us posted!!! :)
