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

Betty I noticed changes in my body almost straight away. Obviously didn't feel the baby, but the very sore boobs, excessive CM and feeling slightly funny around food every so often was all different to me, I just knew. It is possible....Good luck testing, can't wait to hear the result Smile xx

Fruity, I'm not anxious or worried at all. I'm actually quite relaxed. Just noticing changes in my body that's all Hmm

Still checking in here wanting to know how people are doing!

Anxious - you're making yourself more so! In all honesty it took till 14 weeks for me to feel like there was something in there! I'm 19 now and certainly do but before that - nothing!

I'm keeping everything crossed for those of you left in. Good luck, you too may be joining the exhausted sore boobed and uncomfortable massive that is pregnancy lol

Footprints- looks like we are in very very similar situations, I'm just waiting for af to turn up every time I go to the loo but I'm not feeling too anxious or worried so I don't think that could be what's keeping it. Just think as I haven't been off the pill long that it's messing my cycle and hormones about.
I keep getting the odd sore throat but only very mildly and it never turns into anything so don't know what that's about Hmm

Going to test tomorrow and if it's another bfn then I'm going to wait another week and it af doesn't turn up test again and maybe make doctors appointment Shock

I'm still getting the odd cramps and small amount of white cm and I'm feeling quite lightheaded today and a bit queasy but not thinking anything of it. Xx

That does sound promising Jod. Keep those legs in the air Wink

Jod1985 · 29/03/2016 13:24

Anxiety really could be keeping AF away. I'm not charting as only got the mirena out last week but judging by the amount of EWC I had this morning I really think I'm ovulating now! I also had a stitch like pain in my right side last night! We DTD night before last and will do it again tonight

Footprints1 · 29/03/2016 13:11

Oh and Jod and sabzh, fingers crossed for you too X

Betty- forgot to mention I too had the AF cramps last couple of days and was almost certain AF was coming. So not fair is it.
Do u feel anxious? Do u think ours are delayed cos we are worrying and thinking too much?

Annoyed I have no AF now, as no idea what number is be on cycle?

Footprints1 · 29/03/2016 13:08

Hi ladies, and welcome Samantha. Good luck with trying. Yes all very easy to guess symptoms as I'm sure it's the anxiety of it all makes you feel every niggle and twinge.

RaddersMrs, hope it's your month!

Betty, I'm still waiting for AF too. Nothing happened- no cramps anymore. Got an awful virus so what I thought might be morning sickness was actually the virus. My son been sick too :( was getting my hopes up again. This must be the effect of coming off pill for me. My CM is clear again, almost like ovulation yesterday? So now I'm sooo confused. Cycle must be all over the place. Called my gp who was quite upfront by saying it takes from 3- 6 months after coming off pill for cycle to regulate. So she doubts I am pregnant. She said to not waste money on anymore tests, and if AF does not show in April then to book appt. Totally wiped any hopes I had.EnvySad

WickerHearts · 29/03/2016 13:04

It's sounding good Betty!!! Keep us posted, really hope you get your BFP Smile xx

No Af yet wicker, I'm very confused as the cramps I'm having really are unmistakeable af cramps but they don't last very long Hmm
But my boobs have never been this sore or swollen before and nipples have never be sore either!
Think I'm going to test tomorrow morning now Grin xx

WickerHearts · 29/03/2016 07:18

Did AF show up Betty?
Had loads of cramps yesterday, quite painful at times, hoping it is all normal!

Good luck Radders!

Xx

Jod1985 · 28/03/2016 20:47

No AF yet. It's a confusing wait as these symptoms really are reminiscent of My PG's. I would be very in tune with my body. Something is happening!

Hi jod, glad you're okay, have you had af turn up yet? It could be side effects of having the coil removed!

OP posts:
Jod1985 · 28/03/2016 20:15

I'm ok. I'm absolutely shattered though which isn't like me. Boobs are tingly. Woke at 4am as felt sick and back is achy.

AnxiousBetty · 28/03/2016 17:25

How has everyone been today?
My boobs are much less sore today and really feel like af is coming any minute now!
Still thirst and needing the loo a lot though and some white cm Hmm

Hi all, I'm still lurking here and reading how you're all progressing. Glad to see some of you are still in with a chance. FX for your BFPs.

AF has finished for me now so back to baby making for us. Cycle 2 of trying. This month I am not doing any opks. I am doing one early pregnancy test which is on my birthday 16th April, AF due 19th. Be a nice present! Think I went a bit loopy the first month trying and not doing that again.

Hope everyone has had a nice Easter weekend xx

WickerHearts · 28/03/2016 06:24

Welcome Samantha!

Yes we started out much like you, very relaxed over the whole thing...then realised that wasn't working. My advice would be grab some cheap one step ovulation tests and check out the SMEP Smile first month trying that and it worked for us. Probably coincidence, but worth a shot Smile
(If you're not already preg anyway Wink)

Jod I had the implant before TTC and it took 2 weeks for AF to return after having it out. Must have ovulated as soon as it was out.

Betty still got my fxed for you!!

Hi Samantha! Good luck to you on your ttc journey! Keep us updated on your progress! Hopefully we will all get our bfp! Xx

Hi Everyone, it's so lovely reading your comments here. I'm new and ttc and not keeping track of anything, so no ovulation tests or anything! eek. this is the 5th month we have been ttc without taking it too seriously and still nothing. So next week I will be being a lot stricter with myself and my diary. Last week my period came late by over a week and then i only had a 2 day period, which is always strange for me as i bleed for 7-9 days usually. So maybe it's a sign. fingers crossed. any advice from you all would be great. I've always over-read my symptoms before, in the hope i would fall pregnant, or maybe even made it up in my head lol. you know what google is like! So i'm hoping with my change of diet and life style it will really help. wish me luck! :)

Jod1985 · 27/03/2016 17:29

I'm not too frustrated as distracted this weekend. We are hoping maybe the witch doesn't arrive and I get my BFP before she gets here. So like you just having grown up hugs a plenty! Wink

Footprints1 · 27/03/2016 17:10

Hi Jod, bet you are just as frustrated as us waiting for your day 1 in cycle! Hope it comes soon for u.

No symptoms this afternoon apart from a cold! No tummy pains, boobs feel fine now. Hubby says we should just do some baby dancing anyway, all this waiting around we could be missing ovulation time at this rate :)
Assuming ovulation still takes place if no AF?

Jod1985 · 27/03/2016 14:59

I thought my Period would have arrived by now. I imagined really it would start as soon as I had the Mirena removed but it hasn't. I hope I don't have to wait ages for it to return. Sad

I hope she does. My symptoms generally are okay but my cramps are getting more and more painful like af but they only last 30 seconds at a time Hmm boobs are more sore today too! Just want to know either way what's going on really! Xx

OP posts:
WickerHearts · 27/03/2016 12:27

Betty fingers crossed she stays away Smile
Yes still getting funny twinges every so often, they sort of come and go. How are your symptoms today?
Footprints hope you get some answers! So frustrating not knowing. Either want to get a BFP or AF to turn up so at least you can get into trying again next month.

Xx
