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

If you're nervous wicker just test after 2-3 days and the line is sure to be a lot darker then! Xx

Morning girls!
Aw congrats wicker!!! Doesn't matter if it's a squinter they all count! Try another one tomoror! I haven't tested this morn only cause I'm driving myself crazy with testing so I'm just gonna wait either AF will turn up or if I still don't have a period by Tuesday il test! Sick of getting bfn haha zxxxx

WickerHearts · 16/03/2016 07:54

Stay positive Betty, no AF means you're still in with a chance :) it was a proper squinter for me this morning, hope it's not given me false hope Confused xx

WickerHearts · 16/03/2016 06:35

Morning ladies...so I found a cheapie test I had left over so thought I'd give it a go (heard they're my actually that good for being sensitive?!) and got the faintest if faint lines ...can't get it to show up in a pic! Will definitely use the better test tomorrow morning Smile Our left side could well be lucky Betty! Are you testing ladies?xx

Ladies do I test in the morning!? I am stuck between the want of knowing and the heart breaking suspected BFN! ConfusedSad xx

WickerHearts · 15/03/2016 22:04

Betty I've had so many weird pains, strangely more on my left side too. Must stay positive Smile
TMI alert!!...I'm getting quite a it of CM now, so much so I keep having to pop to the loo and check AF hasn't shown up Confused paranoid it could happen at any point!!
Xx

WickerHearts · 15/03/2016 22:01

Sorry Chpaman I think miss read your post, I thought it said you couldn't remember when your last period was, then read it again and realised I read it completely wrong, have no idea how I got that Confused haha!!xx

My left side seems to be a bit more bloated than my right but I don't know if that's because I have an appendicectomy beginning of February! HmmGrin xx

Well I hope we are just a bit late on our calculations or mixed up with dates then Chapman, I know I just really want to know what's going on with my body right now as it's quite confusing! I'm getting stressed about it all which won't help AF if she's late anyway!
I think I will test tomorrow but I'm not expecting anything as I still think it could be too early if my dates are mixed up. Hmm
So glad I have you ladies! If it's on to the next month for us we must all keep eachother updated then too!

I haven't had any creamy cm for a while wicker so I'm sort of thinking af is gonna turn up because of that but I have read that ewcm can also happen before a bfp. I've some very uncomfortable sort of pressure in my left ovary/ lower abdomen at the moment making me feel a bit queasy! Shock your symptoms do sound positive wicker. Let's hope you get your bfp!

Don't give up Chapman, just keep testing ever few days as you may have implanted late or got mixed up with dates! You still have a chance!

Xxx

WickerHearts · 15/03/2016 21:55

Yes is great we all have each other to rant to and talk about things involving tmi Wink
If we get BFP's we'll have to start a thread in the pregnancy department Grin
Thank you Chapman, hope you're right, feels like we've been trying forever. I was planning on testing Thursday morning. Then AF will be 2 days late.
Oh that's annoying you have got muddled dates. Do you remember going on an day/evening out that could help pin point an approx date? Only I forgot one month. had I remember it was a pain in was on for this party we went to, then looked at the calendar to see when it was and hey presto, approx period date Smile xx

cnchapmanxx · 15/03/2016 21:33

Cherry I've bought some more opk sticks today as I just know she's on her way the bitch. Xx

cnchapmanxx · 15/03/2016 21:30

Your symptoms sound so good wicker hopefully it's bfp for you! When are you testing? Since last week I haven't had any cm at all I'm so dry down there!
I actually feel a bit down now as I thought I was due on today but then when I'm looking at my cycle length the last one was 34 days but usually it's 28.. I feel a bit out of place and it maybe looks Asif I'm not due on Til the 21st so maybe I am testing to early or AF isn't here yet because I've got my dates mixed up! Oh I'm getting mega stressed now thank god AV got you ladies to rant to haha! Xxx

cherry4 · 15/03/2016 21:24

I love that we're all in the same boat right now! Still no AF but also no symptoms of anything. Just buying more tests online.

WickerHearts · 15/03/2016 21:19

I have one sainsburys test left. Yes if I get a BFN and still AF doesn't show up I'll go out and buy more.
Yes we must stay positive!! Grin
So my breasts are still very sore, all over. Nipples feeling prickly/tickly/itchy. Felt a bit sick on and off. Still got creamy CM. Think they're all my symptoms.
Oh that's good to know chapman! I guess the hormone doesn't get strong enough for some to test early. How late are you now?

Love that women can talk about all of these things together, as you don't ever want to tell anyone you know you're TTC. We're on this journey together ladies Smile

cnchapmanxx · 15/03/2016 21:11

Yeah anxious it's always nice to hear that not everyone gets there bfp 8/9/10 days after ov!
Hopefully il get an answer soon I'm not bothered if it's AF I just don't like knowing what's happening with my body!!
Are you testing tomorrow Hun or are U waiting? Xxx

AnxiousBetty · 15/03/2016 21:05

Oh no wicker! I have 3 asda tests left and 2 Wilkos tests so Im planning to test every three days with those and see what I get! So if I keep getting bfn's it could be 15 days from tomorrow when I take my last test Grin

Will you go out and get some more tests if you need to?
It is so hard to keep positive and not test after getting a bfn! But we must keep positive till af shows!
How are your symptoms tonight?

Hey Chapman! Wow that is good news although I hope I don't have to wait that long to get some good news! I'm a bit impatient! Well my nipples are still sore if I press them with my fingers (lol Grin) and I've had back pain, sickness, a lot more peeing and thirst today! But still thinking af might show xxx

Hi girls sorry been mega busy at work today and the gym!
Had some positive news from a girl I work with she got 4 negative tests after her AF was due then her positive came a week after she was due so there's still hope for us all!
I feel like I've got acid in my throat and my stomach feels constantly empty but apart from that no more symptoms! How are you wicker and anxious? Xxx

WickerHearts · 15/03/2016 20:57

It's so hard to resist testing though isn't it. On one hand a really just want to know!! But on the other I don't want to test too early and get BFN Confused plus I only have one test left Grin lol
If you do test in the morning, keep us posted Smile
Xx
