early symptoms- when do I test!???

Hey Ladies! I've been reading this thread with great interest too and with my fxed! Congratulations to those who eventually got their BFP! and to those who haven't yet, i hope you get it soon, never lose hope!

Im trying ttc#2 with Pcos, 10 months after giving birth to DD1. Ive said to myself im not going to get myself so stressed and upset over it like i did with #1 as i think that may have delayed me conceiving so im trying to be calmer now. Bloody hard though!

My periods have always been irregular ranging from 27 days to 35 and i was hoping child birth would have helped me but seems not! Im waiting for my 3rd AF to arrive now but its now been 40 days since my last period. I tested on day 38 but it was sadly a BFN which I expected anyway. But now reading all of your messages im wondering if i should test again today?

You see my cramps are mega painful this time and has been here since last Tuesday (9th Mar) and really feels like AF is coming. I'm not getting any other symptoms though, maybe just tiredness but i think i can put that down to my 10month old lol.

Betty have you tested again? X

Yes we did that this month, started on about CD10 and I ovulated on CD16 I think. Not sure whether it helped or was just coincidence that this was our month. But worth a try xx

Sorry I meant last month haha xx

I did wicker thankyou Hun! Is that what you followed? I only got to cd11 using my opks and the. We went to Rome and I forgot to pack them so that might of not helped :( xxxx

Ah then it must be your turn next month we were exactly the same with finding time to, but we had to just make time. Did you take a look at that SMEP link I posted earlier this eve? Worth a read xx

Oh wicker you a month before me then we officially being trying since December so hope j follow you next month Hun! Yeah he's amazing I love him so much he seen this morning how upset I was. He said we will put more effort in this month, we do quite a lot of overtime and we are always tired most nights so never get round to dtd a lot, bless him!

Cherry - what tests did you use? A frer or them cheapy ones? Fx for you hope AF stays away! And yeah he's a good en! Xx

Evening Chapman
Sounds like you've had a well deserved relaxing evening...brownie points for DH
We've been trying since Nov, so maybe not as long as some people, but has felt like ages to us lol

Cherry, if you're CD35 that's looking good right?!

Xx

chapman bfn on tuesday so might wait a few more days before giving it another go. My last four/five periods have been less than 30 days cycle but it was irregular before that due to being on the pill for ages.

Glad your other half has looked after you tonight.

Evening girls wow I missed loads haha!!
Been out for tea with the DH to cheer me up he's such a good egg just wish one of my eggs would stick haha!!
Wicker how long had you been trying for babe before you conceived? Bet your so excited and nervous it'l all be worth it! X
Betty - bet you can't wait to test Hun when are you testing? Hoping it's a bfp for you seems like you've proper been through the mill this month with all these symptoms!!
Cherry - thankyou Hun was gutted earlier on but bit happier now don't know why but I suppose what will be will be! Have u tested at all?? X
Radders - good luck lovely! Fx it's a bfp! Feel like am the only one with AF haha xxx

That's good Cherry :) how long are your cycle usually?

Yes should have a scan in approx 7 weeks time I guess, will be 12 weeks then. Ah well, will find out soon enough

Hope AF stays away Betty!!

Xx

Congratulations miniature!

Sorry to hear AF came for you chapman

Still no AF for me! CD 35.

When is/was AF due for you Betty? Did you figure it out? Haha I kept expecting the same, I still check each time I wipe just to make sure (Sorry, tmi!!)

I'm 5 weeks on Saturday Not really sure what to expect at the doctors app, anyone know what it is for? Or just a referral maybe?!

Radders, I found the cheapie blue tests quite bad. Not very sensitive at all! OPK's though I found good

Raddersmrs not sure! I know I had a period the week commencing the 15th of February but because I don't know what day I can't work out when I ovulated!

AnxiousBetty my symptoms are like yours- I've been really thirsty (usually I barely drink all day but I've been downing pints of water), my boobs started to hurt over a week before I thought I might be due on, usually they only hurt a couple of days before. The cramping has been awful, my tummy is also really tender to touch, I'm trying not to worry about it because it's very similar to my first pregnancy!

Xx

I am really nervous!! We've been trying for a while and been gutted at getting the BFN's, now the BFP has shown up suddenly I'm really nervous about what's to come. But also excited I've been feeling quite nauseous around dinner time each day which is very annoying, looking at food is making me feel a bit funny

My breasts don't feel too bad today actually, just slightly swollen I guess.

Stay positive Radders

Thanks Betty. Hope you do to.
I have a morrisons test which says can be taken four days before AF which is Wednesday so going to try and hold out until then.
I have some of the sticks like the opks, the blue ones, which are supposed to be more sensitive but I've heard there a bit rubbish!

Congratulations miniature!
How many days pre/post Expected AF were you when you get a positive?

I'm doubting I Dtd enough round ovulation now. I think I am approx 8 dpo.

Not having any symptoms really. Feeling cramps etc in my tummy and have creamy cm but think that's where it should be with the stage of my cycle. Starting to think I'm not pregnant now. Just want to know

Congratulations miniature!! I rung the gp surgery today to book my first appointment with the doctor...suddenly feels real
Betty sounds good though, anymore symptoms today?
Yes would be great to go through this together xx
