Still def a chance Coffee give it a few more days Smile

12dpo, no symptoms, bit short tempered today, usual pms stuff!

Been checking cervix last few days, seems medium to high and thin creamy cm (sorry tmi). I've not made any note on it before on previous cycles so no idea if this means anything!

Coffee3 · 31/01/2017 21:40

Not even a squinter!
why did I spend so much of my 20's worrying I'd get pregnant by mistake?!
Will wait now til Sunday ish if the bleeding doesn't turn into period
Good luck to everyone waiting to test

I know it's too early to test; but I really want to! Why would my period be 6 days early? (Other than v early miscarriage from an only just implanted egg?!)
Have had some white cm today too .
I'm definitely getting my hopes up , probably for nothing!

BluePheasant · 31/01/2017 21:12

When I was pregnant with DC1 my implantation bleed was very light pink just on wiping but I know it an vary from being brown to red. You never know Coffee!

MotherofUnicorns · 31/01/2017 21:11

Yes misty we do sound similar! But your symptoms sound more promising than mine......
No cramps today but lots of cm.... weird.

Congrats Ember that's awesome news!
Any of you ladies have any idea of what an implantation bleed might look like? Ive either got that or a period that is 6 days early today?!
(I have my suspicions that having been so ill it isn't likely to be my month this time....)

gracey1 · 31/01/2017 21:04

Jumping aboard. Dreaded two week wait for me.. fingers crossed, good luck all!!

gruffalohoh · 31/01/2017 19:56

Wow, things are getting exciting here. Congratulations Ember - not even Feb and our first BFP. Hopefully the first of many!
Coming to end of FW and therefore about to start the 2ww, looks like a Valentines test for me then. Although with DC2 I knew before testing as I recognised the symptoms so will have to wait and see.
Good luck everyone that is waiting to test x

Motherhippy16 · 31/01/2017 19:47

Congratulations ember! That's fantastic news! I'm currently on cd 8 and both dh and I have a flu like bug! Am due to start fw on Sat so fx we are fighting fit and ready to bd by the end of the week as I am so determined this month! Much love to all x

MistyBxx · 31/01/2017 19:14

Yes holly 😂🙌🏼 same!!
af due thurs but not testing til sat coz 2 apps say different 🙈 got weird pains in lower tummy like stitch, it's quite uncomfy, hurts when i cough, maybe it's wind lol very low down on left side, and was a little towards middle earlier too. Haven't had it before when af on way BUT like i said earlier, I have a new pregnancy-suggesting af symptom every month since being off the pill lol x

Oysterbabe · 31/01/2017 19:13

Congrats Ember! Exciting times :)
I had af-like cramps for a few weeks in early pregnancy last time, it's completely normal.

Charley2016 · 31/01/2017 18:48

Congrats ember! That shows how good it is to have patience and not test early. Beautiful strong line! If only I remember that next week haha!

HollyMay84 · 31/01/2017 18:42

Congrats ember! That's lovely news 😊

Ah, why is Saturday so far away?!? 🤔Trying hard not to test. I've only got internet cheapies so not sure how good they'd be any way? Plus af cramps started today 😔

Hope everyone's had a lovely day 🤗

Lovechild2016 · 31/01/2017 18:20

Congratulations ember

Just reading through your last few posts too see what symptoms you had Grin I've definitely ov'd today I,reckon ... An amazing amount of ewcm this afternoon. tea time everyone. I'm feeling peckish xx Smile going to rush home and do a cheapie opk x

Bubblegum89 · 31/01/2017 16:18

Hi mistyb I came off birth control on 2/12 last year. I've come off birth control 3 times before (twice I got pregnant, the third time I was single so didn't bother taking any lol) and my symptoms never ever changed. It's so frustrating that now, the one time I'm actually TRYING to have a baby, I'm getting a million symptoms that I've never had before in the whole 12+ years I've been having periods whether in or off birth control. Why can't our bodies stop being so cruel?! x

Emberblu · 31/01/2017 16:12

Thanks guys!BlushSmileGrin

MrsC2017 · 31/01/2017 16:08

Ember huge congrats to you and on cycle 1 too, no waiting around! Great news!
Wine... I totally agree, I'm much happier in tww than in time between AF and ov!
CD 26, no symptoms to report!

ttcnovice · 31/01/2017 16:04

Huge congrats Ember how amazing on your first cycle! That is a great line too, really obvious!

passmethewine123 · 31/01/2017 16:02

Ember massive congratulations to you, how amazing on your first cycle too - it can happen!!

I have to say that I think the wait between AF and fertile week is defo worse than TWW. It's SO boring!! But it has made me realise how easy it is to feel 'symptoms'...I've just finished my period so no way I am preggo, yet I'm still feeling lots of the things I was feeling during TWW that I had hoped were PG symptoms. So I'm not going to trust anything I feel this cycle!

Emberblu · 31/01/2017 16:00

MistyBxx Thank you to you and everyone for the congrats! Those symptoms sound hopeful, good luck! Hopefully all positives will bring hope to everyone still going this month. Now off to try not to panic...

MistyBxx · 31/01/2017 15:56

Hi bubblegum! Have you been on birth control? Coz I came off the pill end of Aug, and my periods, although quite regular, have come with a new set of symptoms every month so far lol. Last month was painful boobs for over a week before af was due! So I defo convinced myself I was pg lol. This month the same, af due Thursday and boobs been agony since last thurs. Last month I had incredibly dry lips, no amount of balm would soothe them, this month I'm getting up in the night to pee which is ususual. So far, no 2 cycles or af have been the same and I wish they'd sort themselves out coz I'm thinking I'm pg every month haha x

Bubblegum89 · 31/01/2017 15:48

Not been on in a while so congrats to all the bfp's!!!

I'm so confused atm. Last cycle I got a load of brand new symptoms but af showed up. This cycle I've got completely different symptoms! Last cycle I had: very sore, tender boobs, thick/sticky cm, insomnia and pulling sensations. I'm 6dpo today and I'm having these symptoms instead: boobs slightly tender but not as bad as last cycle, had shooting pains in left nipple a few times, cm is still thin but milky rather than clear, getting af type cramps, had a pain in my left ovary a couple of times, almost like a pulling/stretching pain, sore back, slight morning nausea, HUGE appetite (I had 3 burgers about 1pm and I'm already starving again) and tiredness.

I've been pregnant twice before and the only symptoms I had were very sore boobs and a missed period so I feel like I'm reading way too much into things! Does anyone else's af symptoms change dramatically every month?
