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

No af today for me either Chapman! But I am getting light cramping. I'm trying to hold off on testing but it's so tempting to try tomorrow morning!

I know I'm getting excited over nothing. Although I'm still taking note of how I'm feeling, with two bfn's (even though they were too early I think to be accurate) I'm not too keen on testing again until I know for sure af is late xx

At this stage it's just something you're feeling Betty. Cravings and food aversions wouldn't kick in just yet.

Just chill and see what happens! I'm really keeping everything crossed but I'm worried you're going to set yourself up to be sad here! It's so easy to think the littlest thing is the news you want. And I suffered the tears and tantrums while we were trying to know I wouldn't want anyone else to feel like that.

I don't think I got any cramps or anything that soon after ovulation. Maybe only the slight twinge but that was probably all in my head and I'm not even sure that I am pregnant yet.
I know how hard the tww is. It feels like it's been a month already!
Fxed for us all though. Keep us updated xx

It is so hard not to test early isn't it, the 2ww can feel so long sometimes. Keeping fxed for us all Smile xx

raddersmrs · 16/03/2016 19:21

I did a test today even though it's way too early and I know it would Come out negativebut just in case....! Argh.

My friend today said she just knew she was pregnant from the start. Think some people get that.
I've had little cramps, I feel tired... But I'm trying not to think about it too much as I probably have all this on a usual month!
First month of trying and struggling with the not knowing. According to ovia I can test in 6 days ...

I have no pain or tenderness at all in my breasts. I ovulated I think one week ago tomorrow .... Is it too early for symptoms??

Fruity, I don't know how to describe how my bbs feel right now but they are swollen and my nipples never ever hurt but have been for the past 3-4 days now. I have known women who have no breast pain whatsoever until they've been almost 8 or 9 weeks gone. I guess it's different for every women.

I am due either today or yesterday but got a bfn this morning if I haven't got my period by the end of the week then I am going to test again but who knows as I am having af similar cramps and am very emotional. I can say for sure that I have no idea what's going on with my body in the past week! Hmmxx

fruityb · 16/03/2016 18:38

Mine would always hurt then stop as AF turned up. They're agony when you are preggers I can assure you lol!

Good luck with it. I just had a weird feeling and that's what made me test. And being late was my trigger as I was always 27 days per cycle. I can't describe the feeling at all but it was there. And getting the BFP was overwhelming. I just cried on DP lol

WickerHearts · 16/03/2016 18:31

Hi Fruity Smile
Well must say I do feel different this month to 'normal'. AF was due yesterday, I know it is only a day late, but my boobs never hurt for this long. Usually is only a day or two, but it's been almost a week now. And they REALLY hurt. I also never get CM before AF. This is a very different month for me.
Just hope my body isn't giving us false hope.
Am 2 days late tomorrow so am going to test Smile
Xx

fruityb · 16/03/2016 18:11

I didn't take a pregnancy test until I got my BFP so haven't seen a BFN just know that AF used to turn up bang on time every month and upset me. So to be late in the first place was different. And I just felt different.

I tested with the tesco one where you get two in a pack. Positive within 30 seconds! took the other 2 days later first thing in the morning just to make sure of it. I had no symptoms at all and had actually resigned myself to going back on the pill as we're getting married next year and it was hitting a point where it would be an issue if I was pregnant. So it happened right at the last possible month it could have!

I temped, did ovulation sticks, tracked everything and it just caused me upset. Stopped thinking about it and it happened soon thereafter.

I know it's hard but just relax and don't think "ooh my boobs hurt" or "was that a twinge?" As its never what you hope! And I can assure you the way your boobs feel in early pregnancy is nothing like AF trouble. It's a whole new level!!

Hiya fruity!
I think I'm the worst for symptom spotting because I want to know so badly and am I little unsure about dates etc so not 100% sure when I'm going to be late.
One of my friends got pregnant and had no symptoms and didn't even test until she was 6 weeks gone!

I've spoken to my DBF and we've decided to hold off on my testing until at least Monday as I'm sure af is supposed to come some time this week.
Fxed it won't though!
Good luck with your pregnancy!

Xx

Thankyou fruityb!

fruityb · 16/03/2016 16:37

Good luck ladies. Been reading with interest!

Will say don't overdo the symptom spotting. I'm 17 weeks now and aside from the tiredness and the growing baby bump a few weeks ago I wouldn't have even known I was pregnant. And when I got my BFP I was two days late but just knew something was different.

Don't test till you're actually late would be my advice. It took over two years for mine to turn up and I broke my own heart every month when AF turned up even though all my symptoms said otherwise!

Good luck to you all and I hope it's good news :)

cnchapmanxx · 16/03/2016 16:26

Same here anxious! I'm defo resisting testing! Just because I've worked it out I don't know if I'm a 28 day cycle or 32 so waiting til Tuesday at the latest! Xxxxx
