Hey, I'm just starting the tww and looking for some friends to join me for the wait. I'll probably test when af is due on the 16th. I've got to the point where I don't know what cycle I'm on - I think it's 8 though!

Hi Sleepingstarsmommy. Sorry to hear you're out cavatron. My heavy spotting has continued so I'm 99% sure this is af. I'm getting so fed up with this, I don't even have the energy to convince myself it's ib anymore.

Welcome Sleepingstarsmommy Smile I think I've increased urination too, but I drink an lot of water anyway and therefor pee a lot too, so it's hard to say.

I'm only on cycle 2 and not POAS yet! I've got some IC, but it's been easy to resist because I really don't want a squinter of a line, I want a BFP and when it gets closer to my AF due date I've started to feel her coming on so there's no point wasting an IC.

I'm 8 DPO and 4 days till AF due date, I've been feeling AF coming on since yesterday. I don't think I've ever felt her coming so early OR it's always been there and I'm listening to my body more? Last month when we were TTC I probably felt AF couple of days before she arrived. Another thing I'm learning? Betsyboo87. What a learning curve!

cavatron · 13/09/2017 18:20

AF has arrived three days early for the first bloody time ever!!! As if! I'm out now ladies. Good luck to you all, and I'll be hopping on any June 2018 conception threads!

CherryVicky29 · 13/09/2017 17:49

Haha same @nandostodayplease

nandostodayplease · 13/09/2017 17:36

I'm getting a bit obsessive about testing Grin I need to calm down!

When's the soonest people have had a bfp before AF?

Welcome sleeping

Sleepingstarsmommy · 13/09/2017 16:13

Ladies mind if I join you.. Currently 6dpo with AF due on the 20th.. Symptom spotting like crazy and trying to resist POAS stick until at least the weekend. Have a stash of IT cheapies and have invested in some FRER today.. So today I have had increased urination but realistically know this is way to early although I have convinced myself I am upduffed . Know I will cave before the weekend and POAS before then.

Littleredwagon2308 thanks. It's crazy how much I've learnt about cycles since TTC. I noticed things before but never realised their was a pattern to my cycle. I think I'll be noticing ov signs now whether I'm TTC or not!

Betsyboo87 sorry if it is AF. Getting sore Boobs isn't a normal symptom for me at any stage of my cycle.

missanony I', 8DPO and my CM is creamy and I'm wondering if that's a sign or if that's normal for me. This is only cycle 2 and I didn't check CM during cycle 1. I'm learning so much about my body.

missanony · 13/09/2017 14:41

I did my first test today as I have no control. I think its a BFN. Possibly a little tiny squinty line if I hold it at a certain angle but its probably just line eye Grin

I will try to not test until Friday now but it did come in a pack of two, so I'm kidding myself tbh.

Is an increase in CM a thing? Because I've had quite a lot of watery CM this month where I think I'd normally dry up.

I posted the above then went to use the bathroom and I have heavy spotting so thinking I did ov early and af is arriving. Only strange thing is that my bbs usually stop hurting when af arrives and currently they're as sore as ever!

Congrats ladypug and welcome nandos

I'm a bit confused where I am in my cycle as I think I ov'd early this month. This is my 15th day of sore bbs but going by my usual ov day I'm only 12dpo. Does anyone else get sore bbs after ov?

Littleredwagon2308 · 13/09/2017 14:18

Welcome nandostodayplease, my AF is due 17 too. I'm going to hold out to test that morning if AF hasn't arrived or I don't have obvious symptoms that it's round the corner.

CherryVicky29 I'm an emotional wreck today. I've been down for a couple of days and today I cried because I'd forgotten something.

Hollsers92 · 13/09/2017 07:46

Still so full of the cold today! Feel rotten and I keep sneezing! AF is due tomorrow. I have a lot more niggles and 'pops' in my left lower abdomen last night so my hopes aren't very high atm! I can't rule anything out just yet though, I guess.

Yeah @LittleRedWagon2308, he's great. We only got married in July this year so we're TTC #1. He's being really supportive.

nandostodayplease · 13/09/2017 07:34

I'm new to the thread but I'm testing this week too!

AF due next Tuesday, negative fr this morningSad

81kirsty · 12/09/2017 23:12

Symtoms have had are,
Lower backache
Wind around evening
Nausea early evening
Sensitive to smells.
Aching neck behind ears
I also think wishful thinking and these could have many causes lol.
Due af on sunday 17th. Good luck all
Xxx

CherryVicky29 · 12/09/2017 20:28

Thanks @Littleredwagon2308 I know I'm not out till Af so few more days haha just being abit if an emotional wreck today. Will be over it by tomorrow 😂

Littleredwagon2308 · 12/09/2017 20:13

@Hollsers92 that's great he's there to be strong for you.

@CherryVicky29 Sorry about the results. Its ok to be emotional. There's still hope x

CherryVicky29 · 12/09/2017 19:01

I couldn't hold back on testing today and BFN (no surprise). Feeling so emotional today literally cried over a cake not cooked properly for work 😔

Hollsers92 · 12/09/2017 18:33

@LittleRedWagon2308 yup! He told me not to get my hopes up and to leave it another two days. He wants a baby as much as I do, don't get me wrong! He just hates seeing my disappointment.

Littleredwagon2308 · 12/09/2017 18:26

@Chooklass same here I'm noticing things that I either noticed before (most likely) or that have just started up. I never get swollen glands for eg.
It's really unfortunate that I get easily annoyed and paranoid leading up to my period. Makes me feel shit and I fear pushes my DP away when I need him most. I'm feeling quite alone.

@Hollsers92 did your DP warn you off testing early again?

LadyPug · 12/09/2017 18:21

Thanks Hollsers I felt much the same as you and this morning went to bin my test as thought it was negative. Turns out it was a bfp! You never know!!!

Hollsers92 · 12/09/2017 18:14

@LadyPug congratulations! That's brilliant news!

I've been told to not test again until AF is due on 14th (Thursday). I've had a few more tugging feelings in my lower abdomen, still full of the cold and also had very small amount of brown 'discharge' (?) in my pants for the past two days. Did another test this morning but BFN.

I'm either 11dpo or 13dpo - somewhere in between! Not feeling overly positive anymore! :(

Chooklass · 12/09/2017 17:31

Aaarrrgh. My boobs don't get sore before AF but this month they are! 8/9 dpo. But I'm so fed up with getting new pg symptoms every month that turn out to just be my body fucking with my head! I can't bring myself to get excited again. Also got sore throat, glands and mild fever since Sat, which I suspect is just a virus but now I've noticed some of you mentioning sore throats ... What hard work this all is Confused
