BFP due Feb 15th

Hey all, I feel a little tender in the lower abdomen, felt a little sick to the stomach all day, but nothing major.

Boobs are fine, but they are massive and don't have much sensations in them on the best of days......

I have a feeling my early af last week might have been a positive.

We used preseed once this month, we got dtd every other day from my 2nd +ov day. Dh was out the first day and came home drunk, not best pleased x

noimagination just out of interest are you experiencing sore boobs? It's just that was prominent with dd And I don't seem to be feeling that at the moment. Just want to know that I'm not out the game yet?!

Congrats noimagination!!!! Such fab news!! How are you feeling??

I poas today...completely forgot what I said yesterday and was a bfn. I feel like the window is closing now

I'm going to test again Monday

noimagination CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!! That's such good news!! What's your secret???!

And thanks smorgasborgen, it is a bit crap though still no AF yet so I guess there is still a little bit of hope (just trying not to think about it too much like I did last month and end up getting into a bit of a tizz about it all!!)

How's everyone else doing?

toffee jungle, sorry for your menstrualness! such a crap feeling! is it me or does the months since trying t conceive get longer and longer! you'll get there x

congratulations! did u follow a specific plan? x

Hey ladies, just got a bfp, had to tell someone as I'm freaking out here, it's still early days

Well am definitely feeling 'mentrual' today, ugh!
In fact I feel very similar to this time last month, when I got a bfn
Though at least this time round I know not to get my hopes up, waste time poas, and that although some of the symptoms could suggest pregnancy (ie. feeling sick, tired, bit of a cold, cramps) they also could just suggest AF is on the way.
Gosh tricky business this baby making lark!

Hi, I'm going to try and avoid POAS until at least 9th Feb. Hopefully I actually get a chance this time as last cycle AF came 2 days early! Think I am only about 5 days post ov at the moment. I'm also feeling a bit emotional and spotty but surely too early for symptoms for me. Fingers crossed for everyone!

*does not help me!

I agree that the symptoms for AF and early pregnancy are annoyingly similar! I've had some slight period pain type cramps today plus am really tired but reckon it is just AF and a hard day at work!!
I should stop reading up on stuff though, it's all a bit contradictory and really does help me or change anything! Just hope some bfp's are around the corner for us all!

Yeah, I know what you mean I don't know what to expect, I have stopped looking things up and trying to just go with it.

I'm knacked, having trouble sleeping and have lost my appetite, but that I am putting down to stress and 12hour days at work...Not the best time to be ttc, but hey when is

How are you feeling noimagination?

No, usually I get angry and stroppy about a week before AF due which is about now. I just tend to shout at DP an awful lot but never an emotional wreck. I broke down again today over something silly! I'm trying to stay positive, aren't we all?!

I don't have the 'pregnant feeling' either but is there even such a thing? It seems like Mother Nature will do exactly what she wants when she wants!

Still have fingers crossed for you all and here's to our October babies!

Hey all, yay 3 of us in the same boat, here's to holding out until at least Monday.....

Bangonthedoor, it sounds promising. I am assuming your not prone to sudden mood swings during your cycle? I have started getting spots on my chest, very odd, But I still don't feel any different. I have my fingers crossed for you

ToffeeJungle, It's so confusing right, I hate Google. On the plus I don't think I have ever known my body as well as I do now...something's I would rather not have discovered.

Let us know how you get on toots!

I'm also due around the 5th. I poas AGAIN today!! Of course bfn. I've got 3 left....I'm hoping to hold out until Monday but will probably just do one Saturday, Monday then wait to see if AF shows up or not before I do the 3rd.

I've come out in spots today - something i experienced with dd but also something I get a few days before AF due. Why do preg symptoms and AF symptoms have to be identical?!

I cant wait tbh! Two cheap tests left so might try one tomorrow (9dpo so no chance!) If not will wait till Monday or Tuesday
dh suggested we wait until a week on Saturday. Has he just met me?!

Hmm... not sure about the CM then - I've been searching on the web and just seem to get conflicting info! Some say thick CM is a sign of ovulation, some say it's a sign of pregnancy and some say it's just part of the normal menstrual cycle and probably means you're NOT pregnant???!!!
I'm not sure what is 'normal' for me either, I've never really monitored my CM and am still not sure of the difference between 'fertile' CM, EWCM, any other sort of CM?!
Saying that, I think I remember last cycle asking whether or not thick CM was a good sign (as I had it then too) and obviously wasn't pregnant so I'm not hopeful... I don't 'feel' pregnant...

I think AF is due around 5th Feb so I'm just going to hold out until then and if AF doesn't arrive I'll test on 6th Feb. I havent got any pregnancy tests at home so I can't even be tempted to poas (just need to maintain the willpower and not go out and buy any!!)
I just think if I'm pregnant I'll find out next week with or without poas - plus can't keep affording to buy them!

When is everyone else thinking of testing?

Nice to hear updates and know that im not the only poas addict.

I know its too early to experience symptoms and im trying so hard not to symptom spot!! Just humour me

Ive been sooo emotional last couple of days as well as suffering from this cold still. I cried earlier when i booked tickets for me and dd to see in the night garden live...ok i didnt just cry, i sobbed at the thought of how much shes going to love it. How ridiculous?! But it could just be my emotions around ttc as oppose to a
symptom!

Argh...hurry up next week!!

toffeejungle excessive cm is always a good sign!! But annoyingly can just be a normal part of your cycle. Is it normal for you at this stage? When are u due to test?

Hey all,

ToffeeJungle, i had thicker white cm on Friday, that would have been day 17, not really had it before and only lasted a day. I tend to get clear, think egg white type cm the day before I ov.

Bangonthedoor....I did this same this evening bfn of course, checked the calendar again today and it's day 8........Can this take any longer!

ToffeeJungle, have fun with the dtd!

Sorry posted too soon - was meant to say thanks!!!

Also, Bangonthedoor I can completely understand you poas! The wait is torture and you just can't help it can you???!! I had to resist buying pregancy tests whilst in Boots earlier otherwise I'd be doing the same!!

Quick question ladies - is thick cervical mucus a good sign for pregnancy or not?
I've had quite a bit of discharge (sorry TMI) but I always thought that thick white gloopy type mucus happened around ovulation? Though I'm on day 25 of my cycle so doubt I'm ovulating and just wondered if it had any significance???

I stupidly poas this morning. Obviously a bfn!! I keep miscalculating but by looking at my dates again im pretty sure im about 8dpo today so far too early but couldnt help myself!! Need my hands to be tied!

Hello! can I join? TTC#2 Cycle no. 4. BFP due about 11th Feb. Just coming to the end of our DTD marathon! good luck everyone I think October is a pretty cool month for a birthday.
