Looking for company! I'm 1dpo now (I think) and already feeling nauseous.

We're TTC#2, DD1 is 10 months, still bf so some luteal phase issues .

We hit all the right days with dtd I think so fingers crossed.

Anyone else?

Sorry, the pains were on my left side just above hip bone/pelvic bone

poopyisapig · 21/07/2013 07:51

Life I had pinching sharp pains over two days (thur and fri, so day 7 and 8 days past oculation. It was enough to need a lay down at points, tailed off yesterday been a bit crampy on and off.

I am lucky in terms of periods, I never get any cramps before or during, only once in a blue moon if period is heavy. It usually just comes on bang on time with no signs at all leading up to it.

Hi Cupcake, some say those early pg days felt like waiting for af, so who knows. Do you have any other symptoms?

The two times I've been pg my boobs were sore, since my first pg I now get sore boobs every month so that fact that I have them now doesn't count. I'm slightly constipated but that also happens for me in the lead up. I'm a little spotty too, but basically all my symptoms are just commensurate with typical increase in hormones post ovulation. Not long to find out for me, I'm not clockwork but am due Wednesday.

Those pains some of you guys are having. Are they like ovary cramps? Or like womb pinches? I don't have anything this month but in previous times I have, they can be attention grabbing! The time I had a womb pinch it was implantation and by bfp followed soon after so fingers crossed for you guys!

Cupcake11 · 20/07/2013 23:24

Hi Life, I cry at things like that at the best of times!

I really feel like I'm about to have my period :(

lifesgreatquestions · 20/07/2013 17:24

Hi poppy and argyle! Poopy, I'm sorry to hear about your mc, it certainly changes the mood when continuing ttc. I have managed not to test the last two months so I'm not sure. Sounds like you're both experiencing hormonal shifts, fingers crossed!

argylesocks · 20/07/2013 15:58

Welcome life I hope this month is a lucky one for you! Sorry to hear about your mcs. That's awful.

I still have weird cramps but no sign of AF so anything is still possible. Anyone testing this weekend? Some good news is needed!

poopyisapig · 20/07/2013 14:50

Hi life!

I was in tears constantly last week too. And I was a complete cow to dh. Feeling slightly better today though. When are you going to test? I am due thur but will probably test tue, I am impatient. Sorry to hear about your mc. My last pregnancy ended that way too, so my head is all over the place at the mo.

lifesgreatquestions · 20/07/2013 14:00

Ooh dear, I meant to say I'm crying because of the hormone shift post ovulation.

lifesgreatquestions · 20/07/2013 13:59

May I join you guys? I'm due on Wednesday and am watching How To Look Good Naked, a show I'm not really into, and am balling my eyes out over these lovely women taking some big risks (sob) and feeling better about themselves!

We've been ttc for 20 months, two mcs.

Vikkijayne2507 · 20/07/2013 10:48

No longer testing on Thursday as only ovd yesterday later than expected. Ill watch on 25th my birthday sending birthday luck to you all

argylesocks · 19/07/2013 19:24

Ok I have renewed hope! Thx

poopyisapig · 19/07/2013 18:51

Argyl - I am due on Thursday.

InMyShreddies · 19/07/2013 18:41

Argyle I had cramping last time and was sure it was my period on its way!

argylesocks · 19/07/2013 18:39

Thanks poopy that's good to hear. I wasn't ttc the first time around so I definitely wasn't symptom spotting so it's hard to remember! I have had strange ovarian pains lately. No AF yet, just cramps.

When are you due on?

poopyisapig · 19/07/2013 18:14

argyl - I had pretty strong cramps in my last pregnancy. I was sure af was about to start, so there is still hope!

My sharp cramping pains have subsided this afternoon, but I am terribly bloated (I don't eat carbs so I don't usually bloat).

Oh, and dh and I had another talk, he now wants to test on thursday Smile

argylesocks · 19/07/2013 17:56

Hmmm unlikely but I guess anything is possible! Thanks

Wildwaterfalls · 19/07/2013 17:55

Oh sorry to hear that argyle. Any chance the cramps could be something else? Still keeping my fingers crossed for you.

argylesocks · 19/07/2013 17:54

I think I'm out :( Getting pretty bad cramps already and AF not due till Mon/Tuesday. I was really hoping cycle 8 was going to be the lucky one.

WannaBeAMommy · 19/07/2013 16:41

May I keep you company. Been trying three months doing the calm relaxed it'll happen when it happens.... AF due Sat week. If ive been caught Implant day was wednesday... Only time will tell the tail hehe.

Baby dust for everyone. Good luck with the bfp:-)

Cupcake11 · 19/07/2013 16:15

I'm going to guess at three BFPs but hopefully it'll be more! I'm due to test on Monday but as I need to give a stool sample (TMI) for something else that might be enough to handle first thing in the morning! Hmm

Doctorhappy · 19/07/2013 15:56

I bet 4 BFPs by the time the week is out! I'll be one of the last - due on thurs so will either find out then when AF arrives or will test on Saturday.

No symptoms at all here!Hmmexcept being too bloody hot but think that's me and everyone else in the country at the moment!

pxmx · 19/07/2013 14:43

shreddies your nearly there just a few more days! I know how you feel resisting the urge to poas is sooo hard! Ive also been really tired but just put that down to being extra busy, diddnt think of it as a symptom fingers x it is!

Wildwaterfalls · 19/07/2013 14:37

Welcome shreddies!

Wow lots of symptoms on this thread. Anyone want to have a guess at how many BFPs we will have on this thread? I reckon at least 5 with all these symptoms Grin

And who is due to POAS first?? I'm definitely going to hold out until Thursday or Wednesday or maybe Tuesday

Hello everyone! Well I'm due on Tuesday and need some group handholding and help to resist peeing in a stick direction before then.

We only dtd ONCE this month and it was the day before I think I ovulated! Have totally convinced myself I'm pg despite not officially trying til August Blush Dh will be proud of his super-sperms if I am but annoyed at lack of, erm trying!!

I wish I'd kept some kind of symptom diary from last time. My tummy feels weird from too many crisps probably and I'm peeing all the time lots of water here too and my main symptom is that I was so shattered a few days ago that I slept almost 12 hours overnight and napped for an hour in the day too, 2 days running! That's a symptom right? Plus I can't get comfy at night as my tummy and legs feel weird, which is like last time.

Probably all in my head though! Good luck everyone x

pxmx · 19/07/2013 14:05

Sleep feeling sick must be good??? I'm the same re peeing, when ive got to go ive really got to go!! Quiet frustrating when you've got to go a hundred times a day!!
