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

Sounds promising then wicker! Hopefully that's a good sign for us both! Although mine are heavy but only the nipples are sore! Definitely not a typical period sign for me! Grinxx

I just got them from sainsburys, only about 80p I think Smile
Omg same!! Breasts feel very heavy and sore, nipples very sensitive and get a feeling every so often which feels like lots of little needles pricking them. Haha funny way to put it, but that's the only way I can think of to describe the feeling.
Good luck testing cherry Smile

I was expecting AF Friday and nothing yet. I have a sore lower back but that's not a typical period indicator for me. Gonna poas in the morning!

I will have a browse and see what I can get! Which supermarket did you get them from?
D day for me on Thursday so fingers crossed she stays away for both of us!
And how funny I was just about to say my nipples have never ever been this sore and sensitive! Hmm xx

OP posts:
WickerHearts · 14/03/2016 22:05

Yes I would go and get some Smile I've only got supermarket bought ones, long as they've got 400mg of folic acid in they're fine Smile
It's D day for me tomorrow, fingers crossed she's stays away! I swear though, my breasts have never felt so heavy and sore Confused hopefully is a good sign...as well as the magpies Wink

Oh dear Chapman I don't think I was that bad! I think I took 3 in a day once but that was my worst! I'm still surprised I haven't ended up pregnant by now!
Fxed for our Wednesday testing! Xx

Oh god I better go out and get some then if I get my bfp! If not this month then onto the next ladies! Although if any of you are superstitious I saw 3 pairs of magpies today! 1 for sorrow and 2 for joy and all that! Fxed that's a sign Grin xx

OP posts:
WickerHearts · 14/03/2016 21:53

Haha I was exactly the same, always forgot to take them my pills!
I was told to take folic acid as soon as we started trying...If you do get a positive result definitely start taking 400mg of folic acid daily. It doesn't help conception, but it helps the baby's spine/nervous system develop healthily and prevents birth defects such as spina bifida.
Fxed this is a BFP thread Grin

cnchapmanxx · 14/03/2016 21:45

I was terrible anxious I used to forget at weekends then take like 4/5 at a time I'm so shocked I've managed 5 years without getting pregnant cause me and DH are quite active hah!
Hopefully Hun but doubt it I never get any luck! Fx for us xxx

I used to forget my pill every so often too by it still worked for me! Thank god! Might take folic acid next month and see if it helps if I need to!

Me too Chapman but let's just hope it's the egg getting nice and cosy! ThanksHaloxx

I try to take folic acid but always forget like I used to forget taking my pill haha hence why I came off it I'm so useless with taking tablets!

I haven't really been taking anything yet as I haven't been ttc for long but might get something for next month if the witch shows her face this month xx

WickerHearts · 14/03/2016 21:12

No I'm the same as Chapman, I'd have no idea what was normal if I tried checking now Hmm

Are any of you taking pregnancy/conception vitamins?? I've only been taking folic acid, but heard that is the most important thing?

Ive done so much symptom spotting I think everything can be a sign now! Think I'm going insane Grin I read that in early pregnancy it changes from low and hard like the end of your nose to little higher and softer like lips! But mines still pretty nose like! Hmm xx

OP posts:
cnchapmanxx · 14/03/2016 21:03

No I've been so many times Hun like today I've been twice but normally for me that's time for AF but also diarrhoea is a sign of pregnancy too but we shall see! And no I haven't don't know what I'm looking for tbh haha xx

Let's just keep our fingers crossed Chapam, we might be able to be pregnancy buddies WinkGrin have you been constipated at all btw, (tmi) I am usually the opposite before af but this time I'm not xx

cnchapmanxx · 14/03/2016 19:02

AnxiousBetty · 14/03/2016 18:38

I think I may be out guys I've been having very similar cramps to af today and feel so extremely emotional, I'm pretty sure af will turn up by Wednesday. But still trying to keep my hopes up and if not there's always next month xx

OP posts:
WickerHearts · 14/03/2016 18:37

So Betty, you're definitely still in with a chance Smile
It is very difficult working out dates etc. AF is due for me tomorrow, so time will tell. Still got sore breasts, pinching pains in my stomach and creamy CM.
Chapman hope AF stays away for you Smile
Loki, sorry about your MC Thanks

Loki17 · 14/03/2016 18:11

Been there anxious. The month before my bfp I was so convinced I was pregnant because of my symptoms that when af arrived I found myself googling if you could be pregnant and have af! I actually got my bfp the next cycle and I was virtually symptomless before af was due. Symptoms kicked in with a vengeance after that but I miscarried at 13 weeks. Ttc is so hard because you want it so bad. Hope you get your positive on Friday x

Well after a lot of research and the most likely time for me to get a correct result is between Wednesday and Friday so here the waiting begins xx

Thank you jw35 I'm really hoping that by Friday I will have my bfp! If not then af should of showed up by then I'm sure! I'll just have to wait and see what happened by the end of the week! Xx

Jw35 · 14/03/2016 14:25

Good luck op! I had a bfn with my last pregnancy at 10dpo and positive at 12dpo. With this pregnancy I got a bfp at 10dpo. You're not out yet! If you got the dates wrong you still have an excellent chance. All your symptoms sound good. I had leg cramps that early with my pregnancies too. Also had a pinching/pulling sensation under my belly button. That's how I always know when I'm pregnant!

AnxiousBetty · 14/03/2016 13:46

Well I used a test calculator and it looks like I may have to wait till Friday to get a reliable test result! But it's possible that's 2 or 3 days law so hoping Wednesday is a good time! Xx

early symptoms- when do I test!???
