Anyone want to symptom spot with me?

ok, so we dtd last Sat, totally spontaneous, weren't planning to start until after Christmas - and today (6 dpo) got some brown stringy thing and also some acute diarrhoea. Just looked these up and could be implantation?! I do get IBS so diarrhoea could well be part of that but never had a brown stringy thing before! No other symptoms apart from spotty chin! I'm going to do my first test on Christmas day. Imagine, it would be so cool to be pregnant. Here's hoping!! How much do you think it matters about alcohol? Had 3 drinks on the night of ovulation!

Preposterous yes we are! And great minds as I did the other FR today and of course bfn. Weds I had 2 ic's that had faint line after ten mins. But same as you I have af type cramps so reckon its on it's way. Am not going to test till Sunday (clearly not true)...
It's bloody torture isn't it!

Can I join??

My hint of a line after the 10 minute mark is now a line that appears in under 5 mins so all looking good. Gonna test again tomorrow ....

creamtea we are due our bfp's at the same time aren't we? I caved and used a FR this morning as well as several IC throughout the week and all BFN. Gutted, trying to convince myself it's still too early but have been getting AF cramps, although as its earlier than I would usually get them I'm also still trying to believe that they are implantation cramps rather than AF coming early!! I'm going to wait until Xmas to test now yeah right

I will not test until Sunday...

Got sore ish boobs and nipples now, basically an af sign pfffft great..
This waiting is awful! Mad woman googling every single little thing

I've consoled myself with alcohol tonight! And by joining the January BFP bus thread. This year I'll enjoy a drunken Christmas and January we'll try our hardest to get a BFP! Best of luck marilyn, creamtea, holiday et al!

creamtea I got a bfn yesterday morning (3am! Had to pee & thought well this must be the first of the day then....). With a Clearblue Plus test.

I'm due on on the 23rd. Very disappointed with the bfn but like you I'm thinking maybe I tested too early? The Clearblue Plus is only 53% accurate four days before AF....

Hi ladies, hoping you can give me some hope! It's 4 days till af and I got a bfn this morning on a FR. Internet cheapy gives tiniest hint of the line but not until after the ten min mark. Is there still hope for me? anyone else had this and gone on to a bfp? I have 1 FR test left - should I wait till Sunday?

Hi all I'm back - no AF yet and cheepie test showed a hint of a line but not till 10 mins- so not sure but going to test again Friday - feel nauseous at 5pm every day - a typical sign for me and lots of burping so big fingers crossed

Hi everyone, can I join too?
I'm driving myself mad symptom spotting, but I probably have less symptoms than any other month! So far I've had a really sharp pain that lasted about 5 mins on the left of my stomach about a week ago and I've been pretty dizzy and slightly nauseous today. I've had no backache at all this month which is unusual. I'm also really spotty (sorry!)

I'm due on the 23rd which is also my birthday so don't know whether to poas and risk being disappointed or wait for af to make me grumpy on my birthday, aargh!

Hi everyone, Hope its ok to join. Its so nice to see that I'm not the only one driving themselves mental. My symptoms are pretty weak - cramps, bloating and some wind (sorry TMI!). I think I'm due on Saturday but my cycles have been slightly irregular recently. I've already taken two clear blue tests. One on Monday (way to early I know) and one today but only half an hour ago so it wasn't the first urine of the day. Both BFNs. I know its crazy but part of me wants to test again first thing tomorrow.

BTW Congrats LoveBeingAMrs

Just an update from me - (TMI alert)

Started spotting about a week ago, so thought AF had arrived, but the bleeding didn't get heavier as it normally does, just brown spotting accompanied by loads of CM for the past week Have never had this before. Now wondering if this is implantation bleeding (didn't have implantation bleeding in any previous pregnancies). Also I feel really nauseous today but that could be due to having had too much caffeine (1 litre of Pepsi Max this morning) Oops. Anyone have a clue what my weird symptoms mean?

Lovebeingamrs That's amazing news :) Really pleased for you!!
Holiday I have my fingers crossed for you and everyone else still to test.
Sadly I'm out the running till Feb now :( (DH abroad till then) AF turned up yesterday bang on time and it's been the heaviest most painful period I've had since I went on the pill at 16 to calm them down. Tempted to go back on it now tbh, in agony.

Learnt my lesson though, never going to test again unless AF hasn't shown up on time.

Thanks padster!! Couldnt have wished for a better present... :-)
Holidays i have been getting cramps now for 5 days, i wad absolutly convinced it wasnt my month and the cramps were AF on the way but the got the BFP, dont lose hope, not over til AF!
Baby dust to all!! :-) x x

Couldn't face testing today as feel like af on its way but thought might test tomorrow am - anyone else get really bad cramps and backpain and it be pregnancy and not af?

Really pleased for you love, what a great Christmas pressie for you

So its a definate BFP!!! Ahhhhh!!! I'm ridiclously excited!! :-) :-) Booked a dr appointment for Friday! Fx for u all to get you BFP's this month!! :-) xx

Can I join in?

We're one month in TTC #2. It took 6 months with DC1 but I'm ridiculously excited and am convincing myself I'm already pregnant...

I'm 8dpo.

Symptoms:

Bloated. Very bloated.

Achey cramp-like feelings low in abdomen a few days past ovulating, for about three days (on and off). Mild though.

Backache (although that's depressingly normal for me).

Tried on some boots in New Look yesterday in my size but they felt far too small (however, could just be New Look and the pixie feet they design for).

Dizzy moment yesterday for no discernible reason.

So....sounds sort of convincing, right? I'm probably just contextualising normal little bits of physical phenomena to suit my excitement of course!

Have got it in my head I 'feel pregnant'. Hmm.

Am trying to wait for AF but may not be able to resist POAS before then....when is the earliest most sensible day to test do you reckon ladies?

Sending lots of luck and baby magic to all.

Any news love

Still have no AF. No symptoms of anything now though, boobs back to normal and I did have mild cramps, well more like a dragging/heavy feeling, but thats all gone. Do I test again?

I'm due today, and I do feel like it's about to start unfortunately, so I think that's me out. Again. Oh well, new year, new start, new chances etc etc!

Thanks padster and holidays, goig to test again on mon to be sure!!

holidays I am really crap at excreting hcg, and I think I was a week late for af with my DS before I even got a faint line. Don't loose hope until af arrives or the line appears xx
