Hi there, I ov either on the 28th of this month or a couple days later, I'm not sure if I am 9dpo or 14 dpo at this point but I'm guessing more towards 9dpo so ... With that my symptoms have been as following :
6 or 11dpo - slight nausea, headaches, peeing a lot, bloating, constipation, tiredness, little bit of white cm
7 or 12dpo - woke up feeling nauseous and that carried on with public transport but haven't been sick, woke up with lower leg cramps too. Feeling pregnant. Boobs are still swollen and still bloated. Cm has returned to clear and stretchy consistency Took a test but BFN
8 or 13dpo - symptoms easier today, feeling tired and breasts have been fluctuating a bit in size but no tenderness, had more cramping and sharp abdominal pains than normal but no bleeding. Felt a bit nauseous eating salted crisps but other than that not much nausea.
Still stuck with the clear stretchy cm
9 or 14dpo - had more cramping today in the morning and still feeling extremely thirsty and needing the loo a lot. Nipples have been slightly tender but only for a short while. I'm now basically all dried up down there, no sign of any cm.... Good or bad sign Hmm????

I'm trying so hard to resist the testing urge but I bought 4 asda own early response tests yesterday and it's so tempting. Would tomorrow (10 dpo) be too early!? af is due Wednesday or Thursday as far as I know so that would be 12 or 13dpo

BFN for me this morning ... At least I know I won't test now as OH Will be away until Tuesday night

I had such a vivid dream last night of getting BFPs! So when I woke up I felt a bit hopeful.

I know it still could be too early for testing but just got this feeling I'm out this month.

I know how you feel AnxiousBetty, you dont want confirmation of what you already know but with that being said your symptoms sound promising, more than mine. Maybr wait until Wednesday then? X

Hi ladies, still no af for me but still got cramping and no white cm and mostly dry down there apart from some watery cm sometimes. Not sure if it's all in my head or what! I feel apprehensive about testing in the morning is case it's another bfn! Don't know if I should just wait it out for another week Hmm still feeling quite thirty and needing the loo a lot and felt a bit sick earlier but I'm not really getting anything strong in the way of symptoms Confused xxx

I know what you mean, you just dont feel right. But not long to go! X

sabzh · 20/03/2016 20:26

None Raddersmrs just cramping still xx hate all this limbo!

raddersmrs · 20/03/2016 18:43

Any sign of AF for you?

raddersmrs · 20/03/2016 18:42

Hi sabzh, no AF for me but I'm not due until 26th.. Going to test tomorrow morning again and then Wednesday. Hoping I get even the faintest of lines. I have been feeling a bit strange for past week or so with cramps etc. Feel exhausted today. But I don't know if that's down to work being busy and a little bit anxious about the two week wait. It's so hard telling. I just want to know now though. I find being in the dark the hardest thing.
Not long now anyway!

sabzh · 20/03/2016 18:30

Hows things going ladies? Any sign of the dreaded AF?

Im thinking maybe its my body still regulating itself after giving birth although ive already had 2 periods since?

sabzh · 20/03/2016 11:00

Thanks Wicker x

Ive woken up with really bad cramps but im too scared to go and check if AF has finally arrived. Grin thing is i didnt check when i ovulated annoyingly so it could just be i ovulated late.

Sending baby dust and ThanksBrewWineBiscuitChocolate to you all as we wait for our positive news!

Your symptoms do sound really positive footprints! How annoying that you know you're overdue but it's still too early to test! I know how you feel though, I don't know when to expect my period as all my dates are messed up, I had a mini bleed from coming off the pill but I can't remember which one that was so Hmm
I might wait till Wednesday to test again if I can as I'm totally unsure how many dpo I am, I might even be as early as you!

Wicked I'm hoping as no af yet that I'm still in with a chance but I'm not 100% sure because of my date mix up Confused I could only be 10 dpo today Shock

Fxed for us all ladies xxx

Congrats Wickerhearts. Suppose until you see the scan it doesn't sink in. This whole experience is so mind consuming. I can't stop thinking about if I am or not.
No AF still (4days now OD) and now 9dpo. Hanging on in there..
Going to test on Wed if I can wait that long. Cramps not as bad today much milder than yesterday, but still feel only slightly nauseous. Lots of clear mucus (wet feeling) so keep checking.
Will keep you all posted, thanks RaddersMrs keep us informed too. I have one sainsburys digital test waiting for Wed/thurs and one clear blue digital test left.
Good luck everyone xx

WickerHearts · 20/03/2016 07:11

Morning ladies Smile

Betty you could still be in with a chance, yest I didn't feel pregnant, but I know I am. Think some days symptoms are stronger than others.
Footprints, your symptoms sound good Smile though you're overdue, you're still only 8dpo, I didn't get my BFP until 14dpo, just to give you some hope.
Cherry sorry AF showed up, into feeling positive about next month Smile
Sabzh, I didn't get my BFP until 14dpo, so stay positive Smile

Xx

raddersmrs · 19/03/2016 23:11

Aw footprints fingers crossed for you.
The symptoms sound positive but you never know do you.
Let us know when you next test and the outcome...
It's nice to know we are all at similar stages in the cycle

Footprints1 · 19/03/2016 22:45

I ovulated late this month day 23 on a usual regular 28 day cycle. Im now on day 31 (3days overdue)(8dpo) still no AF but BFN twice- clear blue digital. I understand that my leutal phase would only be short to get pregnant but still holding on to some hope that now I'm overdue it is still possible! Going to test again this week if AF doesn't arrive. Have got serious bloating, swelling and cramping, can't have tight things around tummy, loss of appetite, slight nausea feeling on and off, and indigestion. Feels like AF on its way still but had this for 5 continuous days now :( not sure it's in my head! It's so frustrating..

sabzh · 19/03/2016 22:01

On the bright side Cherry4 you can start again and get that BFP we all so want so much xx

cherry4 · 19/03/2016 21:31

Well AF rocked up today, eight days later than I expected. Back to the beginning...

sabzh · 19/03/2016 19:56

I used the CB digi so i cant even blame the test!

raddersmrs · 19/03/2016 19:51

Will keep you all posted in the numerous tests I will be doing!
I heard that about the super drug ones but haven't been near one.
I bought a £1 Asda one today but that's not as sensitive as the morrisons ones

There's still hope until AF arrives! Xx

AnxiousBetty · 19/03/2016 19:33

Oh well radders some people are lucky enough to get their bfp that early so I don't blame though! I think all my dates are messed up and I think I'm actually a lot earlier on that I thought so most of my testing was way way before anything could of come up!

I'm starting to think I'm not actually pregnant today I just don't feel anything, apart from cramps I haven't really had any backache, no more white cm, boobs although still swollen aren't really sore. I've got a sore throat but I'm not considering that as anything.
I'm going to test on Monday with one of my Asda early response ones I have left and if nothing then I might get a superdrug early response one as they are the most sensitive.... Fxed we all get our bfp! GrinThanks xxx

Raddersmrs Dont lose hope either! X

sabzh · 19/03/2016 19:25

Thanks AnxiousBetty Im not going to lose hope even though deep down I know AF will arrive any day now. Its hard to not test! I'll try hold up and test when you test too i think hopefully a BFP will be on the plate!

raddersmrs · 19/03/2016 19:15

I just cracked and tested again even though I think I'm only 9 dpo. I've got it in my head that I know it will be negative but just in case it is positive I want to test...!
I've agreed with OH that I will test Monday morning as he is away Monday night and then Wednesday morning as this is 4 days before AF so will then use the morrisons early response ones which says four days before. The ones I'm using at the moment are the cheap ones... 5 for £2-3 I think they were.

I think I know deep down I am not pregnant. CM is drying up but I've felt sick today and some little cramps. But that might be because I've not eaten properly!

We wont be trying next month so I will have a break and then the following month I'm going to not be testing so much.... She says now...

Don't worry SABZH just wait a few days and don't worry, try not to get stressed about it as it may affect how late your period isConfused

I haven't tested again yet now. I think I'm going to wait until Monday or Wednesday before I test again.... If I can wait that long HmmBlush xxx
