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

Happy Easter!! Not like we can get at it like rabbits either BlushEaster SadEaster Sad feeling like this.

Wicker- yes think only paracetamol is allowed.

Footprints1 · 27/03/2016 11:36

BFN this morning despite the queasiness!
Terrible virus gave me weird dreams and a restless night.

Fed up now.. Waiting around.

Going to the docs on Tues/wed as something can't be right..day 39 in cycle! 17dpo. Never been this late. Last month was 28 days in cycle. Feel rotten too.. No tests left now, so got to wait for a bump, or the AF!

It is really horrible, I'm going to test on Wednesday so if I don't get any af in the next 3 days, by then I'm definitely supposed to have a visit from her!
Do you still get cramps wicker? And what are they like if you do? Xx

WickerHearts · 27/03/2016 10:17

Also I'm sure you're not supposed to take anything other than paracetamol throughout the pregnancy are you?! This is only from people I've known being pregnant telling me though, so could be wrong xx

WickerHearts · 27/03/2016 10:13

Happy Easter ladies Easter Smile xx

Yes footprints I can understand why, they're so painful at the moment, and I'm sure it's only going to get worse. They need all the support they can get Easter Wink

Betty I really hope you find out one way or the other soon, it's horrible not knowing

I have had the worst cramps today, they've been very painful and very similar to af symptoms so I'm thinking I may get a visit from the witch in the next day or two!
Boobs are still sore but not as bad as yesterday, feel bruised and swollen and heavy still!
The clear cm has changed to white again!

Still feel in limbo as to where my body is taking me!
I'm tired but haven't been very nauseous at all really!

Sorry Sabzh xx

Felt ill all day - came down with the virus my boy had in the week. Couldn't eat dinner or any chocolate as felt so nauseous. Thinking it's just the virus.

Cramps have gone, just a delicate sensitive Tummy to touch. Everything aches been sleeping on and off today. Rubbish!!

On a positive - still no AF.
Tempted to test in the morning if I still feel nauseous, as frightened to take some cold/flu tablets just incase I was pregnant. Read somewhere you shouldn't take anything for first few weeks? Not sure if true?

Wicker/ I remember when pregnant with both boys I had to wear sports not wired bra's in bed too! With slightly larger pants for comfort! Everything felt swollen up to 14 weeks! X

sabzh · 26/03/2016 17:42

Been feeling not myself today and i tested and to my dismay i got a BFN again Sad no AF even though i was convinced it arrived this morning. X

Well mine were sore this morning but they've eased up now but my cramps have come back badly, when I went to the loo there was clear sticky cm again, my body is everywhere at the moment!
Still very very emotional though and tired!

They do seem to hurt in waves I guess, some days aren't quite as bad as others. Sounds silly, but we drove up a really bumpy road yesterday, and I had to hold onto them to stop them moving so much Blush and am wearing a vest top to sleep in with support. Much more comfy :)
No I know, there is nothing worse than getting your hopes up to get a BFN. I guess it's trying to figure out what is 'normal' for your body to notice changes?! But coming off the pill you won't have much experience in how your body is before AF. I was the the same!xx

Footprints1 · 26/03/2016 12:40

Yep my boobs only started hurting yesterday too. Keep going a wee also.

Please please please let us all get BFP's !!

Footprints- when I bent over without a bra on last night my boobs and nipples did hurt but as that was the first day my boobs started hurting I don't know if it was just a thing that happened Hmm

I still keep thinking af is going to turn up, I can't even quite believe the possibility of being pg quite yet.

I am still always thirsty and needing the loo etc but I'm not noticing it as much and there was only clear cm today which was watery....

Wicker - do your boobs hurt all the time or is it more when you push on them? Xx

OP posts:
WickerHearts · 26/03/2016 11:49

Yes Betty I am finding they're much more painful than AF boobs. Am excited for you all testing again Smile yes footprints am still getting the CM, think it lasts throughout the pregnancy doesn't it?! I could be wrong though. Still have to check the paper every time I go to the toilet just to check is CM and not blood Hmm

Xx

Footprints1 · 26/03/2016 11:09

Me too Betty..
Was almost sure it was coming last night and early this morning. Absolutely nothing!?

When I lean forward &bend over to touch toes my nipples hurt when bra us off. Try it? See if same for u?

Just had a bath and felt very queasy although I had breakfast, but not sure if it was the steam? Feel hungry and sick?

Sabzh- not over yet..

Wicker- do u still get the CM?

AnxiousBetty · 26/03/2016 10:59

Yes wicker, they feel heavy full and the pain is almost like they are bruised when I press on them, they feel very different when I'm on af, af doesn't often make them painful just a bit bigger!
I am glad I can compare slightly with you although the I am trying not to get excited.
My cramps today really felt like af was coming and I woke up thinking she had arrived in the night but still nothing!

sabzh · 26/03/2016 10:32

I've woken up with AF wanting to arrive anytime now. Its been a 47 day cycle this month.
Heavy swollen boobs do sound like a sign Smile

WickerHearts · 26/03/2016 07:38

Betty that's the one way I would describe my boobs, they feel very heavy and full. Do they hurt more than they usually do with AF? Not that I want to get you excited, but symptoms sound like mine Smile

I completely agree, it's so nice to talk to others in the same situation. Like you say, don't want to tell other people you're trying etc

Xx

Jod1985 · 26/03/2016 01:07

Your symptoms are all really positive! I'm 31

Footprints1 · 25/03/2016 23:10

I'm 38. Got two boys 6 & 8.

Feels nice chatting to peeps in the same boat. Have only told one friend that we are trying as we wanted it to be a surprise when it happens, but so glad I have you ladies to compare symptoms & help keep positive! It's very encouraging Smile

My boobs hurt today, not painfully just ache - first time so far.. But they do usually feel like that also with AF. Betty- no cm today either!
Just headaches, bloating etc..

Yeah been wondering what yee all look like! Lol Grin

Oh and I had supper bad cramps for like 2 minutes and now I feel perfectly normal!

I don't know when to test again as I tested Wednesday and got a bfn!!
Really not sure what I'm waiting for, sometimes I feel like af is coming and other times I don't and feel normal ... My body is everywhere!
I think I will test next Wednesday xx

I hope so but who knows .... Had a very weird thing happen just now, went to the loo, got a bit queasy and sicky, then took my bra off and my boobs felt ridiculously heavy and hard and swollen and tender as well as my nipples and then I had a hot flush!? 
I'm 26 btw Grin xx

OP posts:
sabzh · 25/03/2016 22:51

So nice of you Wicker x

I'm 33... I think lol always lose track Grin

WickerHearts · 25/03/2016 22:36

Keeping an eye on this thread still after getting my BFP, looking forward to hearing how everyone gets on...keeping my fingers crossed for all of you ladies.

Haha yes I kind of wondered I guess, how old are we all just out of interest? I'm 29.

Xx

sabzh · 25/03/2016 22:23

Totally unrelated but do any of you wonder what each of us look like etc?

sabzh · 25/03/2016 22:02

Thanks Footprints and Betty.
Betty your symptoms sound promising, when do you think you will test?
