Very early signs you might be pregnant.

Just wondering what your very first indications were? It's way too early for me to test but I've got tender boobs which is not typical for me during my cycle and period type cramps, and again not typical for me.

I am probably clutching at a million straws but am interested in your experiences.

Great news theend!

I have been and stocked up on cheapo tests because now I've started testing I can't go cold turkey. I'm too weak Grin

Great news theendof Smile

Oh no last returning to work after ML is horrible!
I had some good news today, I went to see the Dr and she was very reassuring that the MAP shouldn't have any negative effects or an increased risk of ectopic pregnancy, so that's something!

LastOneDancing · 04/03/2015 14:11

Oh no mumtoason! I also tested again today - whyyyy??? whyyyy??

I felt sick as a dog when I woke up though. If I'm not pregnant I'm ill. Or maybe it's the thought of going back to work tomorrow after 12 months glorious maternity leave

DrewOB · 04/03/2015 12:35

waiting til end of week to test.
Today, excruciating stomach pain, head, tummy and back aches
more light brown spotting too.
Suspense!

mumtoason87 · 04/03/2015 12:14

I caved and POAS - BFN, in only 8dpo so trying to keep hope. If I torture my eyes I can maybe see a hint of a line, but the internet chepies always leave an evap line to some degree don't they.

So wish I hadn't done it. Never mind.

Nessie100 · 04/03/2015 11:52

Anyone have good news today?

Roxybaby12 · 03/03/2015 22:25

Roxybaby12 · 03/03/2015 21:53

Well guess who just turned up at my door?? Yep-Aunt Flo herself..
Oh the irony!! Lol. So I'm out! Good luck to everyone who is waiting and trying. Hope to catch up with you all. DH doesn't wanna 'officially' start ttc for a couple of month. Much luck and health to all. Xx

ozymandiusking · 03/03/2015 21:41

I looked in the mirror getting ready for work, and I thought oh! you look nice,
your skin looks gorgeous this morning.
Then I thought, my God I'm pregnant! Then I realised how tired I'd been after being on duty.

tammie49 · 03/03/2015 21:36

hey. thanks for the responses. I have some Internet cheapies but I'm resisting the temptation as will get blood results Thursday hopefully. been really hungry today and felt a bit quesy. my boobs are sore per se but they kinda hurt/ache. all v annoying but time will tell. bloods was just planned on cd21 to check levels all normal as been off any sort of contraception for a year now.

theend - I am so glad things are looking up for you. take care.

Roxybaby12 · 03/03/2015 21:27

Oh and LASTONE it ain't over til Af sings! Grin

Roxybaby12 · 03/03/2015 21:26

Theendof I too am so pleased u have your mum and it's also good that ex is being good about it! I fell preggers years a go by accident and was too young to keep it (sorry if anyone is against abortion) I had no choice and all my mum said was 'so'! Good luck here's to a happy and healthy 9 months! Grin

Hi Tammi, welcome on board, I am currently about 7/8 days late for AF although wasn't ttc but would be happy to be preggers! I have been cramping everyday since spotting a couple of days before af was due! Still get BFN.. Aching boobs, tired etc.. But have a 10 month old so could be the reason for tiredness.. HCG doubles every 2 days so maybe get some Internet cheapies from ebay or keep going with will power and wait til you're at least 14/15dpo. Smile Fx

LastOneDancing · 03/03/2015 21:12

Sounding good theend! I'm so pleased for you - Congratulations! Smile

Hi tammie I think your bloods can indicate you're pregnsnt but I guess that's what they would have to be looking for? I'm on 8dpo too.

Beingcs total nobber, I did a cheeky test today - waiting til I missed AF went really well Confused .
It was, of course a big fat negative, but as uts SO early plus it was a really crappy, not very sensitive, 99p for 3 effort I'm declaring myself not out yet.
I still keep feeling sick, and not even after chocolate.

theendoftheendoftheend · 03/03/2015 21:08

tammie sorry i didn't see your post, but with each pregnancy I've been crampy to the point of expecting my period and wondering where it was, biggest sign though has always been tiredness in the evening and waking up very early, sore boobs and slight queasiness all very early on. Have you got any other symptoms?

theendoftheendoftheend · 03/03/2015 20:56

My mum's great, i didn't want to tell her but once i realised there's no way i could face an abortion i thought i might as well. Ex is being suprisingly upbeat too. And having been to a friend's little boys birthday yesterday the DC have decided they want a brother! Who knows they might just get their wish!

tammie49 · 03/03/2015 20:46

Oh my goodness. I feel terrible hijacking this thread now. I just read back through your posts and am so glad that you have your mum to talk to.

As for me (sorry!) This is the first cycle I've been able to chart properly. I ov'd on cd13 and am now 8dpo. I'm really crampy just now and my temp dipped yesterday and back up again today. Periods have been light and a bit all over the place since I stopped BC over a year ago. Last cycle was 18 days and I assume I didn't ov. So, Dr has sent me for a blood test which I'm going for tomorrow. Would that pick up pg? Anyone else had cramps at 8dpo?

Nessie100 · 03/03/2015 20:33

At least you have your mum to talk to bout it, I was worried you might not have someone you could chat to tonight. Xx
