Thought i'd start a new thread so hopefully people can share what symptoms they're having on what day PO and then hopefully stay on to share the result at the end.

Might be a little easier having it all in one place with people that are going through the same other than googling it which is what I've been doing:))

My symptoms slowly started to dissapear, I got a BFN yesterday and AF was due today but she hasn't made an appearance yet!

oh no @VJONES1985 sorry to hear that Sad

VJONES1985 · 09/10/2017 19:19

I had LOADS of symptoms this month, all totally new, but AF got me on Thursday :-(

PumpkinPatch000 · 09/10/2017 19:09

Hi @sillysausage16 thank you for thinking of me! No sign of AF yet eek! i'm totally new to this too, TTC no1 on cycle 1. How are you feeling?

Thank you @WeeEnglishRose unfortunately yesterday I got BFN so still playing the waiting game!

sillysausage16 · 09/10/2017 18:57

Has af arrived @PumpkinPatch000 ?

I'm pretty new to this so I can't offer much advice

PumpkinPatch000 · 08/10/2017 09:49

Thank you @WeeEnglishRose!

So I tested this morning and got a BFN [SAD]. i'm 13DPO and AF I assume is arriving tomorrow based on my last cycle length but that may not be correct as I only came off the pill a couple of days ago. Do you think i'm out as i'm already 13DPO?

I've had so many symptoms since 3DPO and still even have them today... confused as I never get any of these symptoms around ovulation or AF. They are all new to me.

AmazingGrace16 · 07/10/2017 23:30

Heavy cramping and shifting around feeling low down in my stomach behind pelvic bones. Nausea and migraine.
I've got no idea what's going on :(

WeeEnglishRose · 07/10/2017 22:40

Sorry to hear that @Peachy92 :(
Good luck tomorrow @PumpkinPatch000 !

sillysausage16 · 07/10/2017 15:51

Sorry to hear that @Peachy92 Sad

Today's new symptom is dry heaving at tuna. Something which I've eaten at work every Saturday since March

Peachy92 · 07/10/2017 11:45

Af arrived this morning back on time :( good luck ladies xxx

PumpkinPatch000 · 07/10/2017 09:24

@sillysausage16 - i wondered that too and googled it a few days ago and found an article on it. They basically said that sometimes the descriptions around the sensitivity can be contradictory and misleading but i guess it depends on the brand. I've never used or seen any of them.

sillysausage16 · 07/10/2017 09:17

Just out of interest, how reliable do you think cheapie early detector tests are? Xx

PumpkinPatch000 · 07/10/2017 09:16

How is everyone this morning?

i'm 11DPO today and still experiencing symptoms including, bloating, nausea (sometimes to the point where i'm nearly sick), tender boobs, sensitive to smells, feeling cold, stomach cramps in my lower abdomen/tender dull ache there during the day - it only eases during the night. Also achy arms and legs at times, tired, frequent urination (2-3 times more than normal) and emotional (weepy and irritable).

I'm testing tomorrow for the first time... eek! Nervous and excited. I'm still convincing my self all the time i am then i'm not etc I'll be glad to know either way for sure. AF is due Monday.

WeeEnglishRose · 06/10/2017 22:39

@Peachy92, I don't know, I don't think so. It's def brown old blood, but I have the same crampy tummy that I get when AF starts. I don't know why it would come 2 days early though :S guess I'll find out over the next few days.

Peachy92 · 06/10/2017 22:29

@WeeEnglishRose could it be spotting? X

WeeEnglishRose · 06/10/2017 21:48

Well, I've got brown spotting and cramps, so I think AF is coming two days early :( good luck to everyone else still waiting this cycle!

sillysausage16 · 06/10/2017 19:41

@Peachy92 fingers crossed for you xx

Peachy92 · 06/10/2017 18:45

@sillysausage16 I understand Hun. Best advice I can give is; you know your body better than anyone. If you have any symptoms you usually have then ignore them and assume AF as usual (which is still a good thing as you know your body is doing its job properly) and keep an eye out for anything you DONT have usually. Mine are my left hand side having activity instead of my right/ no real bad cramps yet/ random nausea and dizziness. Could be a nice mild cycle or it could be all the difference! Be good to know if anyone else had distinctively different symptoms the cycle they got a BFP? X

sillysausage16 · 06/10/2017 17:39

Oh I do have sore gums aswell xx

sillysausage16 · 06/10/2017 16:56

I just feel generally achy and unwell, can't even put my finger on how I feel. Have taken another test but was negative. Think it's still too early xx

Peachy92 · 06/10/2017 16:18

@sillysausage16 yellow tongue... usually dry mouth so it could well be a sign :) any other new symptoms? X

Peachy92 · 06/10/2017 16:17

Well I’m 14DPO today AF due tomorrow. Wednesday and Thursday and today I’ve had cramping and pinching LHS only I don’t think I’ve ever had lefty pain before always RHS and all over. I usually have a bad belly too so I admit I’m hoping for a BFP tomorrow not AF!

kirinm · 06/10/2017 12:44

I’ve had a small amount of spotting so I expect AF to arrive tomorrow (or tonight). I don’t normally spot but I also am sensible enough not to hope it’s implantation bleeding. It definitely isn’t as I feel exactly like I do when AF is arriving.

WeeEnglishRose · 06/10/2017 12:22

Tested again this morning, 12dpo, still a BFN :( might just not bother testing again and wait to see what happens. I'm still getting nausea for a bit every evening, got sore boobs, moody. Who knows what's going on!
