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

Oh Betty, thinking of you.

Footprints1 · 11/04/2016 21:27

Oh no Betty, that's terrible. I'm so sorry this is happening. Really feel for you.

Really hope he gets use to the idea, or even his family tell him where he should be right now. Don't give up hope Betty, you have an amazing new life inside your tummy who needs you to stay positive and as calm as you can possibly be.

We are here to support you Betty. Xxx

Hi ladies, sorry I haven't posted for a while. Things aren't all that great we just seem to be more and more parted on the issue and haven't really spoken at all for a few days as he's seeing his parents for a bit. He's just so stressed because he's just not ready and the relationship just seems to get worse now. Terrified we are either going to break up or things just won't pick up x

Betty, how are you? Been thinking about your situation. Really hope you are well and all is ok with your partner. Xx

SoozC · 10/04/2016 20:10

Wicker This is only cycle #3! But as I'm 34 and DP is 47, I'm feeling the pressure. But trying not to!

WickerHearts · 10/04/2016 16:18

Soozc how long have you been ttc? Fxed for you Smile

Chapman it could be either, hopefully it is because you're pregnant Smile you'll have to keep us posted!!
Ah hopefully not for as long as your mum had it Sad must think myself lucky though, some women are very ill with sickness, I haven't actually been sick ...yet! Hmm

Xx

cnchapmanxx · 10/04/2016 10:31

Wicker I'm taking seven seas ore conception! I genuinely think they have given me bad constipation however it's odd st the time I'm in my 2ww and not before hand. But we shall see come a week today Hun! They do have iron in them yes only 14mg but I have been taking them for about 6 weeks haha!
Oh darlin bless you, how long do you think you'll be like this for? I know my mam had it for the full 9 months with me 😭 Xxx

SoozC · 10/04/2016 09:51

Wicker Well, I'm on my own ttc journey and know how much little comments can mean. I have fx for Betty

WickerHearts · 09/04/2016 22:29

Aww thank you Footprints! DH has been out and got me biscuits, plain crisps and something fizzy as I couldn't eat dinner again and they were the only things I fancied...This poor baby isn't getting a very nutritious start Confused
Lovely of you to comment Soozc Smile

Xx

SoozC · 09/04/2016 22:13

Wicker I read it while having a coffee in Costa - beat the book I was trying to read!

Footprints1 · 09/04/2016 14:53

Sorry to hear wicker u are feeling sick. Try ginger ale, helped for me in the past. I had to sleep with biscuits next to me, so I could munch before I got up- that also helped.

WickerHearts · 09/04/2016 14:18

Wow sorry about all the typos and not really making sense, stupid phone!x

WickerHearts · 09/04/2016 14:16

Ah pleased you're still on here Smile
Which pre natal vitamins are you taking? I'm taking pregnacare, but obviously the pregnancy ones, I'm sure they're what is making me so constipated! Do your have iron in them? As I've heard that is the culprit. Got my fingers crossed for you for Themis month Smile
Yes doing ok, sickness has kicked in so feeling pretty lousy at times. Only managed cereal for dinner last night. But other than that doing well thanks xx

cnchapmanxx · 09/04/2016 14:04

Wicker I am Hun not posting much as I sorta lost the thread haha!!

I'm on 6dpo I think or maybe 5! I don't know whether it's the pre natal vitamins but I've been constipated since wed only went to the toilet today first time since wed which isn't like me. So we shall see apart from that nothing to report how are u lovely? Xxx

WickerHearts · 09/04/2016 13:49

Also Chapman I don't know if you're still watching this thread, if you are, how are you getting on? You must be approaching your next 2ww by now?xx

WickerHearts · 09/04/2016 13:38

Soozc, that must have taken you a while, didn't realise how many posts were on here now!!
Betty how are things with you and your OH? Hope you're ok hun xx

SoozC · 09/04/2016 12:26

I've just read this whole thread from the beginning - I was on tenterhooks for you all, so happy to read some of you have BFPs!

Betty, I'm really sorry to hear about your boyf. I can't offer suggestions but just sending positive thoughts your way. Big hugs.

Footprints1 · 07/04/2016 22:06

So Sorry Betty, poor you :(
sounds like he's panicking about it.

I'm sure he'll come round.

It's a tough situation for you because you are already in that position with the decision made. He can't expect you to change your mind now it's happened.

You are so happy and excited about your BFP for him to be like this now would really be unfair on you. Feel for you as I'm sure you just want to be happy and excited and not have to worry about all of this. Big hug xxx

raddersmrs · 07/04/2016 21:26

Really hope it all works out Betty and he comes around soon. It must be really stressful knowing what to do next or even knowing what he expects you to do.
We are here if you need to talk xxx

WickerHearts · 07/04/2016 18:30

Aww Betty Sad so sorry for what you're going through. Its not that easy now you're actually pregnant though saying you'll try again in a couple of years, surely they realise that?! Its not like a top you've decided you don't want anymore and you can take it back. I really hope he comes round, hopefully just needs time for it to sink in?!xx

Yes I was mutual and we discussed it for a few months. I guess he thought it wouldn't happen so fast and take a few months of trying ....HmmSad

Jod1985 · 07/04/2016 13:23

Oh Betty, that's so upsetting for you. Gentle hugs. Xxx Maybe he's just having a bit of a wobble. Xxx

raddersmrs · 07/04/2016 12:45

Betty if you don't mind me asking, how old is he?
How long did you talk about trying for a baby for, I'm guessing it was a mutual decision???
