Last month I drove myself nuts with symptom spotting and early poas. I had every sign and symptom going and was convinced I was pregnant. Luckily I kept a list of all my many symptoms on a calendar so this time if necessary I can remind myself that pms has all the same same features as early pregnancy.
I'm determined not to test until 23rd, as I think I should come on then if I'm going to, must stay strong!! Anyone want company in ignoring the whole thing?!

Hi ladies Smile
AF is due tomorrow & I'm definitely not feeling "normal"
I'm feeling really, really nauseous, but I'm soo hungry (I even ate 2 dinners last night Shock) my boobs are killing me! Even my vest on nipples is hurting! Coupled with usual(ish) cramping & headaches. I don't know what to think!!!
I tested yesterday & got a BFN :-( I'm really confused & debating driving to the nearest 24hrs shop to get a test to poas in the morning! Am I better waiting (if I can control myself) until the weekend to poas again or to test Tomorrow/Thursday?
Hugs to all Flowers

fattyfishwife sorry to hear about your mc, I'm also in the tww, trying not to think about testing.

FattyFishwife · 07/07/2015 12:59

bumping for the non symptom spotters!!

im just starting my first TWW after my first AF post MC....i have a headache.....why do i want to read so much into something thats OBVIOUSLY way to early to be a symptom....old habits die hard eh ladies :D

drinkyourmilk · 01/06/2015 18:15

Hi grey, I'm in the same boat. I was due sat. Came on very lightly, then nothing since. Still cramping though- so I just want it to happen so I can concentrate on next month.

FattyFishwife · 01/06/2015 15:11

even though I had my mmc 4 weeks ago, and KNOW im not pregnant as i havent had a period yet (leastways, i dont think so as Ive nly just stopped post mc bleeding), im STILL trying not to symptom spot....my boobs have been tingly again, and im (not) trying to recall if they have ever stopped in between the mmc and now.

hahaha i think im going doo-lally!

Greyhorses · 30/05/2015 21:05

I think I am definatley out this month, cd33 and negative test with clear blue. Really hoping AF shows up tomorrow so I can move on and start again. I was starting to hope that I was pg as I have had some symptoms but I must have convinced myself of something that isn't there! I was half tempted to test again but realistically I'm sure it would have showed up by now.

I've had lots of bad luck recently so here's to hoping some positive luck comes my way (and to everyone else too!)

Sorry to hear of your mc Keys.

drinkyourmilk · 30/05/2015 20:47

Keys, I'm so sorry to hear about your loss. I've had several mc. I've always waited one full cycle before
Before ttc again. Fingers crossed for you next month.
Same for you Doom x

doomkittycleo · 29/05/2015 18:28

I only tested yesterday and there wasn't even a shadow of a line. I'm fed up of ttc. Starting to think it will never happen. Feel as though DP isn't interested either :-(

fuzzywuzzy · 29/05/2015 10:56

Doom I get tender breasts, but only up till AF then it all goes, which indicates AF will hit in the next 24 hours for me.

If AF is very light, if it stops quickly too, test again?

doomkittycleo · 29/05/2015 07:59

I'm 4 days into my period and it has been rather light this month. But still having tender breasts, I've done a test and I'm definitely not pregnan. This is my 6th, cycle off the pill. Does anyone else get tender breasts for this long? I never had tender breasts at all on the pill.

keys27 · 26/05/2015 15:33

fuzzy thanks for the reply hun I have read so many different things and that a d+c clears you out all ready to start again like a normal cycle and people falling pregnant 2 weeks after but then ive heard of people having to get medication to start their periods off again after a mc. Its very upsetting and confusing. I am very sorry to hear about your heartache as well hun. I think if I fall this month I will be over the moon but equally if af does appear I will be upset and low but at least then I can start with the opk sticks etc. I just wondered when your most fertile I was worried that if it was going to be normal for me I would miss my chance x

fuzzywuzzy · 26/05/2015 15:28

I'd say if you OV mid cycle then you will OV around 31/05/15, so four days leading up to it and the 31st and the day after that should be your most fertile days.

Maybe try using OPK's so you can pin point it a little more precisely.

I have heard that sometimes you don't OV the month following a miscarriage, I had a chemical pregnancy month just gone and I apparently have Ov'ed this month (according to OPK's).

I am really sorry for your loss Key's.

keys27 · 26/05/2015 15:16

birch Thanks for welcome hun been a very hard week :(. But I am getting there just was not meant to be just so gutted I see baby so strong and moving around never in a million years did I think that was going to happen. :(.
Never mind we all have to move on dont we life dont stop for no one so I need to try again and hope the next little bean sticks for mummy :(.

Lol at catching his swimmers. I am sure you will conceive soon. My friend took over 5 years and she fell with her first then fell with second so easy its mad they went through every test going and there was nothing wrong.

98 lol just read back on that. Now that would be a new miracle story hahaha..

Guys just want to ask your advice. I mean this cycle is obviously not going to be like a normal cycle. However if my d+c was on Sunday 17th May they said take that as your first day of your period. I bled for around 5-6 days normal for me on my AF. Now saying this is a normal cycle for me 28 days when are my most fertile days? I am worrying a little as OH goes away on the 4th June until 9th. I am worried that's my window.

birchygoo · 26/05/2015 13:43

Keys Im so so sorry to hear about your mc - no-one should have to go through that. It must be the pits with your body still telling you are pregnant :-( We are all hear should you want some support!

drink you did make me laugh - 98!!! Wonder how long it would have taken one of us to tell you we think you might have missed the boat

All I have a dp as well who is a bit reluctant at times grr he has got much better after trying for a few months and nothing is happening. I did send him to dr's and who gave him a kit for sa, and I told him that maybe he has defunked sperm or maybe actually we dont just bd enough ... so bd has upped its game this month and sa kit is still sitting in our bathroom hahah - worth a try maybe ... more bd or go give a sperm analysis to see why it is not happening hehe

keys27 · 26/05/2015 13:32

Sorry to hear AF got you and about your OH's sometimes they just dont understand how we feel do they :(.

keys27 · 26/05/2015 13:30

Hi guys can I join please?

Just had a mc I was 13 weeks lost baby just after 9 weeks even harder seeing the baby at a scan with a healthy heartbeat the day they predicted the baby to have passed. I had a blood clot :(.

my d+c was 9 days ago now. Stopped bleeding Saturday got horrible taste in my mouth again like I had before and boobs started hurting again which is so cruel my body is just tricking me in to thinking its pregnant again.

Me and OH are trying every other night but now I am on my WTF cycle I have no idea when im ovulated etc very frustrating. Fingers crossed I get bfp soon and hope you guys do as well :)

fuzzywuzzy · 26/05/2015 13:12

sorry to hear that doom, I got a smiley yesterday aaaand DP was not in the mood........

I'm getting really upset over it too. I do not want to force him to BD, but it's really frustrating and hurtful to be rejected. Really feel like just refusing to BD unless I have that smiley... that would be like twice a month then!!!

I feel quite petulant but right now, I'm just going with it. Think I'm allowed to be emotional (on here).

UnMN hugs doom, know how you are feeling.

doomkittycleo · 26/05/2015 13:00

And... The witch got me. Knew she was coming :-(

drinkyourmilk · 25/05/2015 00:29

Sorry to hear that doom, though in a way it's good to know I'm not the only who feels that way.

doomkittycleo · 24/05/2015 22:15

Oh fuzzy, you have no idea how nice it is to know I'm not on my own with feeling this way.

fuzzywuzzy · 24/05/2015 14:26

Oh doom, I feel like that too some months. It really feels like DP always has something on right slap bang when I OV or we've fall end out or he's tired. It's so frustrating, he's so laid back about it and it really puts me on edge.

Especially as I'm now aware how small a window I actually have to get pregnant.

So unromantic too feeling this way.

doomkittycleo · 24/05/2015 10:19

I'm just fed up of my partner not wanting to BD enough. I start thinking there's something wrong with me, but it's possibly just cus we're not BDing enough :-(

fuzzywuzzy · 24/05/2015 09:05

Good luck doom. I guess at least as I have to test daily due to the clinical trial, I get that out of my system.

doomkittycleo · 24/05/2015 09:01

I caved and tested even though I didn't think I'd have much chance this month and it's negative. Most likely between 9 and 12dpo today.

doomkittycleo · 24/05/2015 02:50

Started with tingly boobs and am on day 25, defo think I'm gonna be coming on in the next few days :-(
