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

Well I thought it was due the end of this week like between Wednesday and Friday BUT .... I've had a quick calculation and I'm not entirely sure when I ovulated now, I'm making things worse by over thinking but I think I could only be 7dpo and not 10 dpo which makes everything very confusing and the tww even longer for me! I highly doubt I'll even get a positive if I tested on Wednesday. Have no clue what to do! Xx

Oh sorry Betty, but like the other ladies said it could be too early still. When is AF due?

I have another 3 tests so I guess I'll use those up and just have to wait and see. I've had some sharp ish cramps on my left lower side and still bloated but don't seem to be as thirsty and haven't peed much today. Maybe it's all in my head!
I hope we both get our bfp by the end of the week though! Keep us updated! Xx

It's hard not to be disappointed but I am only 10po (I think Hmm) so it may be to early. I'm going to test on Wednesday so I'll be 12dpo and then Friday at 14dpo and just hope for the best. Are you still going to test Wednesday? X

oh no anxious!!!
maybe its just too early to pick up! i have looked on forums and some ladies have had bfn up until AF has been late it all just depends on bodies and HGC hormone! dont give up! dont give up til AF shows her face :)

Well ladies I don't know what to think.... Just took a test with fmu and my asda early response tests and it's a BFN Sada little heartbroken not going to lie. I really thought I was. Maybe all this early cramping really is just af on her way Sad

Anyone sometimes have days where they're symptoms are less than other days and also days where they almost completely disappear? This evening I just don't feel pregnant, just a bit bloated and swollen SadEnvy

I'm cd12 so waiting for ovulation. Will not be buying any tests until I'm late though!

Well I can't let it get me down too much, it can be difficult but I have to try and keep positive because if I don't I just feel worse!
I hope so it would be nice to get the result while I'm with DBF. I'm very much on the fence as to what the result will be.

WickerHearts · 13/03/2016 20:28

At least by the sounds of it you don't let it get you down, which is totally the right attitude to have Smile
Absolutely, you have nothing to lose. Would be lovely if you could get the result together Smile

No it's not very nice wicker! But it's just something I've learnt to live with. There's no real treatment for it other than just living a healthy lifestyle and hoping it clears itself up:( I'm almost certain I'm gonna get a bfn tomorrow as in convinced it's too early but I guess there's no real harm when I have 4 tests waiting for me!

It can be yeah but it's not too bad now, working is alright I just have to take it easy and have half days every now and then and get nice early nights so I can sleep easy! I'm sure it will get worse if I am of though! Yes I know that feeling very well! But we just have to keep trying! I know this weekend has taken forever to go by because I'm so impatient to take a test! I haven't had much cramping or anything this evening yet so bit worried I'm imagining it all! Hmm

Oh anxious bless you bet that's hard to live with! Can you work etc?? Yeah I get very snappy and annoyed that another one of my eggs has died and I'm not pregnant haha!!
Yes it's 2 days the longest 2 days I think! I either want AF to show tomorrow or just not show at all haha! We can do it!

Loki - I use them one step Amazon ones so not to bad with money haha it's just hard not to test I have no willpower when it gets to 9/10 dpo xx

WickerHearts · 13/03/2016 19:31

Loki I can totally understand, they're so expensive! What CD are you?

WickerHearts · 13/03/2016 19:29

Oh wow chapman, you really do suffer! Fortunately it isn't a constant thing for me, haven't had the pleasure of it for a few months now. Feel your pain, it can be so painful.
Betty me and DH have been trying since November. Best of luck for you in the morning, keep us posted Smile

Loki17 · 13/03/2016 19:24

I've tested at 4dpo before - completely understand the temptation!!! I learned my lesson last month after wasting £40 on tests. Ridiculously, this month I've spent the same on opk tests! Grin

That's lucky Chapman! I get emotional when I'm on my period but usually towards the moody side. I've only ever cried twice with af because of pain! Cfs is chronic fatigue syndrome and I've suffered with it for 6 years on and off but it seems to have been better recently so fxed that these cramps are a sign! Well roll on Tuesday for us both! Only a couple days away! We can do it! Hopefully af won't play with our minds and just decide to be late! Xx

OP posts:
cnchapmanxx · 13/03/2016 19:12

Anxious! Bless you hunni I haven't cried as of yet actually I lie I cried last month when AF came only because it was so fucking painful. The worst of cramps since I've been off my pill! What is Cfs Hun? Same here I just wish Tuesday was here so I would know whether I'm preggers or its another month trying haha! Xx

Wicker - it's horrible isn't it it's got worse since I've came off my pill I never used to get it at all then since November it's been painful I take anti depressants for it well there muscle relaxers! we've been trying since December, stopped taking my pill mid November had a period on 14th December and I've been regular every 28 days! There's so many people around me getting pregnant and no one really knows at work or my family and when I see scans I'm happy for people but scream haha! Defo feel you spent all my life trying not to get pregnant then when I want to it takes forever man! Xxx

WickerHearts · 13/03/2016 18:51

Wicker I'm trying to wait as long as I can too but I'm with DBF till tomorrow evening so I'd love to get a bfp tomorrow morning whilst im with him! Although I'm dreading doing the test! Huge fear of another bfn Sad so many mixed emotions! I actually cried my eyes out last night because I had been thinking of a negative result too much! BlushConfused xx
