Using this as a bit of a diary, if it helps anyone or anyone can help me along the way that's an added bonus. I'm now 3 days late. I do have symptoms, they've not all been at the same time and they're not all happening now, some a week or so ago and some to present. About 2 weeks ago I thought I was experiencing thrush, it lasted about a week and then went (which leads me to believe it wasn't thrush at all) it started really watery, it felt like a combination of af coming out/wetting myself. There could be a lot of it or sometimes only when I wipe. As I said it started watery, but half way through it become very sticky and white..very little odour if any..I didn't tell DH as I wasn't sure as to what it was, so sex was a no go. For a few days I was so lightheaded, to the point where I stood up and my eyes blacked out and I felt like I was about to faint and had to hold the wall or lay down. I'd say its been the last two days where my skin has begun breaking out. I've never had spots and now I have 4/5 on my face. That might seem like nothing to some people, but for me it is a dramatic change. Yesterday and (only slightly) today I have had severe cramps where it feels like I'm about to come on any second..I've run to the toilet because it feels like Its going to happen..but nothing. I've been unusually gassy and yesterday and today have had on and off stints of diarrhea. My nose has been very runny at times for no apparent reason as I have not felt congested or coldy in the slightest, just random snot! I've been absolutely exhausted, gone out shopping and had to sit down for 10 minutes between each shop! I've got out of bed and after 2 hours gone for a nap, when I'm a passenger in a car I feel myself nodding off. That's about everything I can think of for now, the funny thing is pregnancy didn't pop into my head until a few days ago, and then I realised all this has been happening, so it's not even as if I've been thinking I'm pregnant and I've assumed everything that's happening is a symptom. Every other time I haven't been pregnant I've thought to myself "I am" "I feel pregnant" this time I'm completely going with the flow and funnily enough despite all these things happening I'm still not convinced. I've not taken a test because I refuse to go through the disappointment of it all! I'm completely just seeing what happens, obviously I would be over the moon to find out I am but at the moment I'd rather just wait and see. I'd love to hear if anyone is currently or has previously experienced what I'm going through, I'd love to hear your outcomes, stories and advice..thank you in advance, good luck and baby dust to all!!

I think period cramps are more constant whereas the ones I'm having can be really sharp and 10minutes later they're gone! but yeah, cramps and a little bit of clear discharge (none really worth talking about) sicky feeling. And yesterday and the day before i was stuffing my face,not hungry but just wanted food non stop! Today ive had a bacon till around lunch time and not fancied anything since

its crazy but i feel like everyone wishing me luck will make a difference! Got cramps now which is so bitter sweet because it feels like if i have cramps but no blood that's a definite good sign,but it makes me so nervous that I'm going to bleed any second! Emotional wreck again!x

lol im scared to test incase its negative, you are right its so nice to be surronded by positive thoughts x

Christinedonna · 12/06/2014 21:07

I'm a fine one to talk but id test now if i were you. its not unheard of to get a positive result early and if its negative you can put it down as too early and test again next week. Id go for it if i were you. Thank you! It really does mean alot to have peoples positive thoughts xx

Still got headaches and feel sick every now and then, my period is not due till Tuesday, bought a Tesco pregnancy kit, but think its to early to check, hope your tests come back positive x

Christinedonna · 12/06/2014 19:34

Thank you.. it really is reassuring to hear it from someone else. Defininetly got the emotion bit down,I'm so nervous i feel like crying until tomorrow! I really do hope so too. Everything crossed!

Good luck! I think your symptoms definitely sound promising. Hope you get bfp.

Christinedonna · 12/06/2014 18:47

So i will know by tomorrow..i would go out and get one before hand but all the shops around me that sell them are actually work places of friends and family! So I'm stuck to waiting:( I'm all of a sudden petrified! I suppose the image of a negative test has been drummed into my head and the possibility of me actually being pregnant feels impossible:/ this is the first time ive thought i might be pregnant since my miscarriage at the beginning of the year. I know that when i read someones post i guess whether or not they're pregnant based on what they've said and some women its pretty obvious whereas others seem to clutch at straws.. id love to hear everyones opinion on my post?

Could you not pop out and get one? Why did you order them?

Christinedonna · 12/06/2014 11:28

Still waiting..i hope it actually turns up today and I'm not waiting for nothing!! Luckily i fell asleep again so that knocked off a few hours of being sat about!

OP posts:
Christinedonna · 12/06/2014 09:31

Good luck! Hope your tests arrive soon.

Christinedonna · 12/06/2014 09:27

Just an update,am now a week late and all 'symptoms' continue. My first morning wee is in a cup in the bathroom just waiting for my tests!! Any change angelaham?

OP posts:
Christinedonna · 11/06/2014 22:19

Feeling incredibly sick and bloated! Bloated i can deal with but feel like I'm going to be sick. Still convinced this is more illness than pregnancy

OP posts:
Christinedonna · 11/06/2014 20:36

Thank you..me too!! Just panicking a bit i suppose, ignorance is bliss and all that,now its actually come to finding out I'm questioning everything

OP posts:
angelaham · 11/06/2014 20:34

Hopefully your tests will come tomorrow and you will be able to test and find out, i'm hoping its good news for you.

Christinedonna · 11/06/2014 20:31

And discharge

OP posts:
Christinedonna · 11/06/2014 20:30

Its horrible driving over thinking everything. But all i keep thinking to myself is that I'm nearly a week late, there has to be a reason behind that?! I'm eating so much but also feeling sick! Still have the rest of my symptoms.. diarhhea,light headed, bad skin, fatigue(5 hour nap earlier after just an hour of being awake), achey/twinges in my back, feel bloated and irritable. again though despite all this i just do not feel pregnant. Like it feels like I'm making it up. Very odd feeling
