Hi ladies I'm cd33 today!!! I tested 2 days ago and bfn :( I was wondering if anyone else is a symptom spotter or anyone with a bfp can throw in their advice please :)

Iv had sore bb's on and off as well as constipation on and off. Iv also been getting randomly nauseous! Also very tired but I do suffer with m.e. Iv been convinced af is going to show over the last week because I have been getting on/off period pains in my lower back and top of the legs!! But so far she's a no show :) my periods are however very irregular!!!

Another odd thing going on this month is my cervix. (sorry this could be tmi). When I was trying for my second I always checked my cervix to see if it would close and it never would it would always be slightly open even when I managed to get pregnant it stayed slightly open (I put this down to already giving birth before). Iv been randomly checking my cervix during this tww and it's always been open (only checked about 3x) however I checked this morning and it's quite far back still within reach tho and it's closed!!! Also quite lotiony- sorry!! I have also been getting hot flushes.

Anyone else in tww who would like to join?? :) :)

clarke I'm not breastfeeding but I've had sore nipples too for a good few days! This is cycle 1 for me though. I'm not sure if this happens every month and I'm usually not paying attention or if this is actually a new thing. Confused It's so easy to convince yourself about every little thing being a sign isn't it.

Can I join in too, not sure when af is due as I took a relaxed approach this month and don't know exactly when I ovulated. I seen a gynae and he scanned me and could see an egg and felt I was due to ovulate that day or the next. I am on cd 26. I am still breastfeeding my nearly 19month old and the last couple of days my nipples have been so sore. I am also exhausted although that isn't anything new!! I have had some constipation, and a couple of light headed incidents. I don't have that pregnancy feeling though so we will see what happens. When are you all planning on testing?

Hello, I'm in! Feeling pretty wonky and impatient this month and could use some pals.
CD 20 and I've had a 24 day cycle for the last few months. Ovia says I can test in 4 days but has af not due for another week from today. Weird.

Any of you using Ovia?

Birdie I'm impressed at your cervix checking and don't worry about tmi! I've had the odd go at poking it when Ovia has reminded me about it but I haven't found it very useful as it doesn't seem to change a huge amount.

I'm just back from my honeymoon and part of me is thinking how perfect it would be for it to be this cycle. Not helping myself! Trying desperately hard not to get too into crazy symptom spotting but it's inevitable.

Hello to everyone, sorry about your pants symptoms. Hope you feel better and if not straight away then that it means your BFPs are there soon.

I'll join in :) Im CD30 today not sure if I am late on not yet... last 2 months have been 28 day cycle but previous to that I have been 30/31/32 !! Very frustrating! Thought AF was on its way last night but no show yet.. Been feeling nauseous all day and now suffering from heartburn - deep joy!! Tired - but then I'm always tired!! Been having headaches for the last couple of weeks and strangely suffering with cramp in my legs and neck! Oh and not to mention the back pain!! Not really symptom spotting GrinLOL! Been trying for over 3 years now and 41 so could really do with a BFP!

Hello, I'll join as it'll be nice to chat to someone to keep me occupied during this tww. It's cd24 here. AF due Friday/Saturday. Bfn this morning which is hardly surprising as it's still a bit early. I've been ridiculous with symptom spotting HmmI've really had to chill myself out. I've had intermittent AF cramps over the weekend, so thinking AF is on its way early and I'm out Sad
