Who wants to buddy up?!

lovely wish I had some words of wisdom for you, that does sound odd though :(

Fab news on dh being home early Sarah

Violet Fx those are positive symptoms for you :)

No Af yet, she's due on Monday, but feels like it could come at anytime, this really has been a horrible couple of weeks, barely been pain free at all, cramps are awful, had to take super strong painkillers :(

My period is usually 5ish days but fairly light to medium.this one was 4 days varied between heavy and slightly clotted (tmi) to very light. I had a whole day and night of no bleeding before engaged in sex but then bled very slightly after sex and then nothing until today. The last time I had this it turned out I was pregnant, only difference was it was on my knickers and this time it was when I wiped...

Sarah - xposted

Still having stomach pains an feeling like af is coming, but then I check an it hasn't. Its only CD23 what's going on, never had pre-af symptoms 4-6 days before af due before??

Lovely - I don't know but do u think that dtd so close to end of af could maybe have dislodged some dried blood perhaps?? Was ur af normal for you in terms of number of days, colour, flow??

Sarah - good thing ur dps home, does it change your test date?

Brooke - did af arrive?

Ahhh what a lovely surprise for you sarah Keep us updated on the POAS!

lovely that sounds very strange, do you normally have spotting?

Yeah i'll probably test at the weekend, think he's away again on Monday so fx i get a BFP to make this weekend even better! New bed coming tomorrow too

Ooooooo exciting! U gonna test earlier then?

everyone sorry havent had a chance to catch up yet. DP is back from work a week early! Didnt even know until he phoned me asking to be picked up from the train station! HAPPY

Really random girls but I do believe that I am experiencing brown spotting...I'm on day 8, but period only lasted til day 4 and had dtd on day 5...

Mmmmm, fake coffee, yummy!! Big sigh.

Yey testing buddies! I'm planning on testing on the 23rd if AF hasn't arrived by then.

Issie I've just rechecked and now I'm testing on the 23rd were testing buddies! Unless of course you are planning to test earlier than next Saturday. Really hope I get my opportunity to test this month!!

I hope it is Issie but no idea what that should feel like? How long it would last for etc? No spotting and no AF so far so fx'd. Keep going for a wee, when I don't need a wee, just so i can check no AF lol! Hope your dull aching is a good sign too! Just about to indulge in a nice fake coffee!

Sounds positive violet, fx it's implantation. I'm 5dpo today and have sore boobs and still the dull aching in uterus area- I'm trying to think if I get this every month but I can't remember (useless!)

Haha good effort firsttimenewbie you're symptom spotting like a pro!

Morning ladies, 7DPO today and woke up at 5am after a really vivid dream then started with abdominal cramps and the feeling that AF was coming (it hasn't). It's not due till earliest Monday but more likely a week today. The cramping pain seems to have gone now but it could be on and off pain I'm not sure yet (not been up long, still recovering from nights). I've never had pre-AF cramping that has come days before AF before only cramping in the couple of hours or so before AF arrives? So I'm hopeful its not AF but worried too due to last cycle AF coming 7 days after OV. So either it is to do with AF, or its implantation related, or its a random uterus ache for no reason.

Well my crazy symptoms now include back ache (even though I have suffered with this since 14), extreme tiredness (even though I am jet lagged) and feeling sick when I smelt OH whiskey (even though it always makes me feel sick).......oh dear really not doing well on this 'relaxed approach'. Worst thing is I know this site is making my obsess more but I love it too much to give it up!

violet love random symptom spotting! haha not being able to get out of bed this week can be one of mine too haha. I'd go with your app as that's what i'm doing lol i think i will test on Saturday which is 2 days before the app says AF is due but i'm expecting a BFN. fx for you! my OH is away until (approx) 22nd so i really want to wait for a bit as i wont be telling him until he is home but i just dont think i can wait that long (assuming that AF hasnt turned up by then)

Well I survived the night shifts! Swapped tomorrows night shift for a day shift on Friday as someone else wanted Friday off yay!

Brooke I'm sorry your feeling rubbish at the moment, do you always get such bad pre AF cramps? I've never had pre AF anything so I have no warning its coming, but then get terrible cramps the first two days of AF.

I think I'm 6DPO today, could be 7, nothing much to report symptoms wise that I think actually means anything. Random meaningless symptoms for fun wise, I've got a stuffy nose and Sarah also peeing a lot!

If my cycle is 26 days again like last month AF is due on Monday 18th, but my app is predicting AF due on the Thursday 21st, which gives me a 29 day cycle. So not sure when to expect it?? If it hasn't come by Friday 22nd I will buy some frer's when we do the supermarket shop on Friday after work. That way I'm definately not buying them unless AF is late. I'm now not testing at 35 days on Tuesday 26th because OH is going to be working away again from the Monday and he wants to be here if we get the opportunity to test this time. So test day is (hopefully) Saturday 23rd, when I will (hopefully) be 16DPO.

Symptom spotting at 4dpo- feeling a bit spaced out today, still have an aching feeling in uterus area, felt slightly sick yesterday and today in the morning. Obviously pregnant! Lols

Sorry to hear that brooke

I'm too scared to test lol ordered some first response ones today as they're meant to be good

I had a temp drop this morning which means Af is on the horizon, just a waiting game now.

Fx for all you ladies testing soon xx

Hope you're feeling a bit better today brooke I'm really not looking forward to AF arriving either, it gets harder every month, but I'm keeping the faith that it will be our turn for our bfps soon

Heya hope u r all well! Jst to update that I am today on cycle day 6, had dtd the other night as af was short but that's all atm. Im 29 BTW for your records lol x

Awwww brooke try not to get so down, you'll get ur BFP soon enough :) having that time to yourself sounds lovely though!

Hope everybody has had a good day.

I'm feeling super sorry for myself. This isn't fair, these cramps are so painful, they haven't stopped all day :(

Also thought I'd tell you girls something I do, on the day Af arrives each month, I have a little cry, feel really sorry for myself and then give myself at least an hour to myself that day (which is a rarity if I do say so myself) in that hour I give my toes a lovely new colour, which definitely cheers me up abit, might sound silly, but it's what I do :)

Haha i also have a sore head :( i'm making everything into a symptom!
