Good luck Drew hope it is a BFP in the morning for you!

I am DPO11 or 12 now (not sure exactly) but just did another test and still BFN, felt pregnant today, sore / tingling nipples (I don't get that normally), heavy feeling in uterus but that could just be pre AF. Needing a wee a lot! Anyway am gutted as oH and I tried sooo hard this month! Ah well got to keep trying and smiling :-)

I think I just don't believe it's a possibility. If it was last month I think I would have tested several times. I feel wet. I know I'm not bleeding.

Both boobs mildly sore. Will pick up a test on my way home from work. I finish at midnight tonight. Grin

How is everyone else getting on??

Fingers crossed for everyone. Wink

All sounds promising Drew! You're so good for not testing. Agree with Vic, I've seen loads of people on here who had AF type cramps and ended up with BFP!

Fx for everyone as usual! I'm in my 2ww now... or 3ww... whenever AF decides to show up this time... Hate this time of the month... Angry

If you are late take a test Drew! Other ladies getting bfp on here all say they are getting cramps like af starting then getting pos result!

I'm getting funny symptoms but only 7/8 dpo. Ive had nausea the past 4 days and off coffee and wine. Too early to be symptoms tho! Wish it was! Not due til next wed/thurs. Taking too long!

toothachereturns · 16/04/2014 14:18

I am almost floored with cramps today. Much sorer than I remember before I ever had a coil. I'm contemplating taking painkillers. yeeouch. Af due tomorrow and the signs are all there. Sad Sad Sad
Looks like I'm joining the BFP in May threads. Sigh. Good luck y'all!

We dtd last night so am hoping that'll be enough!

Happy Hump Day Wink!!

Hello to all the new ladies!

Hang in there rpopz....it might be your month!
madasacatter I got the clearblue tests last month but haven't really used them properly as I had a silly cycle which I'm putting down to stress. Will start using them again in a couple of days.

CD5 here. App says I should OV around CD9-CD12 so I'll start the OV tests on CD 7 I think....just to be sure! If this month doesn't work out then I'm going to start temping as well.

RPopz · 16/04/2014 10:51

Smiley face day today and DH is working all day and I am working all night! Bum. Angry

madasacatter · 15/04/2014 22:29

I'm honestly not sure, I'm thinking that the clearblue ovulation tests will be the way to go maybe next cycle or the one after. I'm trying to be all calm and collected about it, but realistically I've been fretting since the day I had my implant removed Blush

I have a load of supermarket cheapy tests for moments of weakness, but also got some first response ones today just in case I have a BFP and need to take a different test(s) to be sure! Am I crazy??

ilovechops · 15/04/2014 19:14

I haven't worked out my days yet but just did and I am CD 28 today, my cycle is 31 days though. So I have 3 days until AF is due and if anything I would say symptoms are decreasing...boobs a bit tingly and dull ache in tummy that I have had for a week. Probs just PMS!

Madasacatter, I agree with toothachereturns, testing early is so stressful as you just tell yourself you still might be prego even if it's a BFN and if it's a light / faint BFP line It can sometimes end in an early miscarriage / chemical pregnancy which happened to me a couple of months ago. Really stressful. have made myself wait until 10DPO. How many days DPO are you or aren't you sure?

toothachereturns · 15/04/2014 17:50

Madasacatter - an early test like first response might show a bfp now. But I wouldn't torture yourself. Ive done that for 2 cycles and it's stressful! Smile

madasacatter · 15/04/2014 17:33

Hello to all, thank you for the welcome :)

I think I'm on cd 23, as the first day of my last period was 24th March. I think I have a 27/28 day cycle, so when should I test?

It's been so long since I've had periods (about 7 years) that I've forgotten all of the symptoms and my boobs hurt loads, I'm also getting long hot flushes - is that normal? They started around the time I had my period, then stopped until about ovulation time, and now are back again Confused

toothachereturns · 15/04/2014 16:56

Hello to the new ladies! I'm on cd26.... same symptoms as drewswife. Awaiting AF. Sad

Hi to the new girls.

Lol @ stop symptom spottin. It's what we do Wink.

I take day 1 as the first day of my period. I'm on day 24 today. I'm run down. Waves of nausea. And exhaustion. Peeing a lot and sore boobs. But I had all this last month. And am just awaiting my period.

ilovechops · 15/04/2014 14:36

Hello, Can I join you! I am Month 3 TTC #2 with a 2yr old DD. I am 10DPO today (I think). Tested earlier only to get a BFN although it's possibly too early...definitely feel like the AF might jist be around the corner.

Anyone else 'convince' themselves they are pregnant every month and have loads of 'symptons'? I feel like I am going mad at times! Need to stop testing too soon...!
