My time of ovulation was last Wednesday/Thursday. Could I have pregnancy symptoms this early? I felt a bit sicky yesterday morning and am very tired. Is it to early to have these symptoms?? Thanks

ChilliPeppers did you get AF yet?

If you haven't you still may be in for this month!

According to PeeStickParadise, with 12DPO (I believe we are on the same cycle) you can expect only 62% accuracy on a HPT.

Please do let us know when you get back from holiday. Wine

Sorry about that MetalHead. Wishing you best of luck for the next try.

Haven't POAS yet. AF is due tomorrow and I'll do a test in the morning.

But my biggest symptom has been sore breasts. They are actively hurting. They are a tad bigger (husband confirms - Grin. And my areolas (dark ring) are definitely bigger.

I never have these symptoms with AF, so I am optimistically hopeful this = pregnant.

Hi misscalamity, tested again this morning, couldn't resist! Got a BFN again, but I'm a day late now. I'm sure I'll find out soon enough one way or another. I hope you get better news when you test!

Sorry to hear that metalhead, good luck for next time.

MissCalamity · 13/08/2013 13:04

Sorry AF has arrived metalhead Thanks 2nd time lucky??

Any news nightowl?

I'm beginning to have doubts now & believe AF will be along shortly to disappoint me, keep having odd cramps & had to turn the pressure down on the shower as it hurt my boobs!
Really want to test tomorrow morning, but scared & apprehensive at the same time Confused

Metalhead · 13/08/2013 06:47

AF has finally arrived in full swing this morning. Oh well, saves me a trip to the GP this morning... but this had been the weirdest cycle I've had in a very long time! Better luck next time maybe.

nightowlmostly · 12/08/2013 16:10

Hi metalhead, it sounds promising for you at least! It's so weird, I was totally convinced I was pg, you know when you just know? I knew last time before testing, I wasn't surprised at all. AF was due today so I don't think it's too early, and I wasted £10 on a bloody clear blue as well!

I suppose there's still hope, but if I'm not I wish AF would hurry up and put me out of my misery!

Metalhead · 12/08/2013 15:53

Well, I've been having really bad painful cramps again all day, as well as some light bleeding that is definitely not AF. I'm going to POAS again tomorrow morning, and either way I think I'll go to the doctors as this not like anything I've ever experienced before.

Maybe it was just too early to test for you nightowl? All is not lost if AF still hasn't arrived...

nightowlmostly · 12/08/2013 15:15

I couldn't wait and got a BFN this morning Sad. Still not feeling like my period I'd coming though, and with the cramps and spotting I'm confused tbh!

Have a good holiday chili, and to everyone else, fingers crossed for you x

MissCalamity · 12/08/2013 15:11

Sorry to hear about your BFN chili although it's over until AF rears her ugly head. Will you be taking any tests with you on holiday? Have a fab time.

Hi nightowl good luck tomorrow, I try not to symptom spot to DP as he gets annoyed with me & doesn't want me turning into a crazy lady with constant sex demands & POAS craziness, poor little lamb!

Fingers crossed metal are you testing tomorrow?

I nearly POAS last night had to think logically that it probably wouldn't have shown if I was pg anyway ... Far too long to wait.

Fingers crossed fot a BFP week!!

Sorry to hear that chili. Hope you have a fab holiday!

I too am feeling all crampy again so thinking AF might be on its way after all...

Well I tested early as going on holiday today and wanted to know. (AF due Tuesday/Wednesday ) and it was bfn :( I do feel like my AF is on its way as well. Good luck everyone else x

Hi nightowl, we're also in our first cycle of TTC number 2 and although we DTD quite regularly around ovulation time I kind of think we can't be that lucky, especially since I got pregnant really quickly first time round too.

Good luck for tomorrow! Smile

nightowlmostly · 12/08/2013 00:20

Coming to this a bit late, can I join in? Smile

I'm due af on Tuesday, been cramping for 3 days on and off. Today I had spotting, and thought it was af coming a bit early, but it doesn't feel like normal iyswim? I always get cramps the first day of my period but never for days in advance like this.

We only started ttc number two this cycle, and only dtd once, so even though the odds are against me I've had a feeling I'm pg for at least a week. I haven't told DH my suspicions, don't want to seem obsessed about it so early, but its hard to not think about it all the time!

Good luck to everyone, if af doesn't come tomorrow I'll POAS on Tuesday, wish me luck!

Metalhead · 11/08/2013 21:05

Good luck all! Let's hope we get some BFPs this week.

Metalhead That really sounds promising, especially with a little bleed on Tuesday - don't touch that test until Monday!!

chilipeppers I felt quite nauseous the first month of TTC and then AF arrived, this cycle hardly any sickness....so yours could just be the bug. Fingers crossed!

I have two Tesco cheapies in the bathroom cabinet and keep looking at them, normally the weekend flies by so if I can at least get through Monday without testing... I really need to know by Thursday as I'm being mithered to join a new sports club and I don't want to commit and then a couple of weeks in, say sorry I'm off.

In my head I've already got the EDD date, dates I would be leaving to go on maternity - a girls name (no boys name again!) DS was nameless for 24 hours! Smile Dates when I can tell people, arrghh! God, so much relies on whether or not AF arrives!!

Enjoy your weekend ladies, I'm off to a BBQ in a bit and will be partaking in a few alcoholic drinks (hopefully my last ones!) Grin

Metalhead · 09/08/2013 13:17

MissCalamity I think I'm due AF around Tuesday, though my cycles vary quite a bit in length so hard to say.

Tried a First Response test and that was negative too, so I'm determined to not test anymore until at least Monday. Still feel like I should be pregnant as could have sworn I had implantation bleed on Tuesday... Anyway, will try and relax and not think about it this weekend as I am also definitely doing my own head in! Wink

I did feel like this could be my month but not so sure now. I know just what you mean misscalamity I'm driving myself and DH crazy! Just want to be so much. Still feel a little sicky but really trying not to think about it as sure it's a bug! Metalhead it's so hard not to test isn't it even though we know there is no point until at day AF is due but we just can't help it!! Argh being a woman is hard sometimes!!

Hi all !
Thank god it's Friday Grin this week has dragged.
metalhead when are you due AF?
chilipeppers & keden I may have to join you with the POAS on Wednesday even though I'm not due AF until at least Thursday.
I had really bad tiredness on Tuesday & went to bed at 7pm! Still feel tired but not as bad as Tuesday, I keep having bad cramps, almost like something is burrowing in my belly, but we'll wait & see, I'm doing my own head in!

Feel like this could be my month, fingers crossed for us all!

Metalhead · 09/08/2013 06:50

Sorry to hear that chili - how are things this morning?

I couldn't wait and took another test today - still negative. Maybe it is all in my head after all... might go and get a First Response test later as I got a positive from that 2 days after implantation last time, but if that comes back negative too might have to accept that I got carried away a bit.

I think my sicky feeling that I was getting excited about for the last few day isn't a sign of early pregnancy it looks like a tummy bug :( DH feeling sick too now. Only time will tell AF due Wednesday.
