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:))

Ok this morning I have woken up with a yellow tongue. Wtf?

peachesarenom · 05/10/2017 19:27

I don't even know what's going on with my body anymore! I'm suddenly very hungry and starting to feel low so I thought I wasn't having any pms but now clearly I am!

VJONES1985 · 05/10/2017 09:08

Ah, I see. I've had painful boobs since ovulation, every single day, which is weird for me. Have been nauseous and bloated too, had cramps off and on, and a few days including today, I've had creamy CM.

It could jump tomorrow if you think you’re only 10dpo but that would be an implantation dip.

I’ve been reading up on progesterone this month - I’ve had recurrent miscarriages so try to detach from the process as much as possible and try and understand why the symptoms come in order to keep myself sane. I’ve been horribly bloated since ovulation but it’s gone now which is why I think my progesterone levels are dropping. I don’t temp anymore but might do in a few months. It makes everything even more crazy (for me).

VJONES1985 · 05/10/2017 09:00

@kirinm That's a shame :-( My body is actually totally differently this month, so I won't say I'm not disappointed if I do get AF.

VJONES1985 · 05/10/2017 08:58

Annnnnd irs also changed my ov date, for some reason, so it now thinks I'm 14dpo but I'm pretty certain I'm still 10dpo. Argh!!!

kirinm · 05/10/2017 08:58

Sorry VJONES - big dip suggests progesterone dropping.

I’m pretty sure I’m out too. Feeling very achy and exactly as I do when expecting AF. I think I’m 10dpo today but I know my body well and it’s behaving exactly as it normally does.

VJONES1985 · 05/10/2017 08:46

Big dip on my BBT chart this morning. Not a good sign?

I'm due AF on Sunday, but caved and did a test yesterday and today Blush both BFN, but I think I might just be too early as I was 9 and 10 dpo.

I've got really sore boobs, having crazy mood swings, been feeling nauseous late afternoon for the past few days. Today I had some cramps, and then had some brownish mucus discharge (TMI, sorry!), so I'm wondering if maybe that was implantation? Could explain the BFNs. Could also be wishful thinking Grin

peachesarenom · 04/10/2017 22:14

VJONES1985 I'm with you mate!

sillysausage16 · 04/10/2017 20:10

I've taken a test which was a bfn!! But I'm not due on for a week so need to sit on my hands for a few days

PumpkinPatch000 · 04/10/2017 20:06

@Peachy92 my thoughts too. I think people know their bodies pretty well and what different and i definitely feel that.. but who knows! Will be thinking of you on Sunday! Fingers crossed for you! I'm also testing that day eek! i'm nervous but excited.. the days are really dragging now

Peachy92 · 04/10/2017 19:13

@sillysausage16 you’re re not alone at all don’t worry 👍 this months been completely different for me to and I just caved with the test I had and got a BFN :/ but I’m not due until Saturday so could just have been too early. I think if you have a test at home it’s worth getting it out of your system personally as it stops you thinking about it - at least temporarily! If AF comes it comes if not test again. It really is the only thing you can do! X

sillysausage16 · 04/10/2017 18:28

Thought I would post on here too since you guys are in the same boat. Hope that's ok!!Hi all I don't post much on here but I do lurk for advice. I'm 36 and my partner and I are trying to get pregnant. I had my ds almost 11 years ago so all this is relatively new as I had no trouble having him but then again wasn't trying lol.

I've been tracking my cycle on Ovia since March, trying to get an idea of things. I'm quite irregular and have no idea of ovulation time because I'm useless with the opks. I THINK I ovulate relatively early.

I'm on cycle day 19 now and have been noticing some weird symptoms - been dizzy and nauseous for a week now, after almost fainting at work last Tuesday the only time I feel ok is when I'm eating, I had what I can only describe as a pain like being stabbed with a hot knitting needle on Saturday and some pink stained cm with that pain. Now today I've started smelling smells which no one else at work can. And the pain in my breasts is unbareable.

Has anyone had these types of symptoms and been found to be pregnant? I darent get my hopes up. Maybe I just need someone to tell me it's all in my head as it's too early to test yet.

Today's newest symptom is having the runs, maybe I just have a bug Sad

VJONES1985 · 04/10/2017 18:03

I am 9dpo today and af is due on Sunday. Today I had quite bad cramping, a bit like AF cramps, but followed by backache, nausea, heightened sense of smell which left me queasy and a horrible taste in my mouth. Absolutely shattered and sore boobs. Have had loads of symptoms since just after ovulation, so this month is very different to what I usually experience.

Peachy92 · 04/10/2017 12:18

@PumpkinPatch000 I know exactly what you mean. We all know most of our usual AFs and it’s when they’re exaggerated we start wondering. But brand new ones like feeling it from 3DPO / nausea / no steady temp / sudden ravenous hunger make me think this is the month! If no AF by Saturday I’m planning on POAS first wee Sunday morning 🤞🏻what about you? :) x

Laura2018 · 04/10/2017 07:46

Morning, i'm due AF today and so far nothing but I'm suddenly too scared to take the test isnt that odd! I'm scared of both outcomes!

PumpkinPatch000 · 04/10/2017 07:40

Hello everyone!

How are you all feeling today? It looks like lots of us are having very similar symptoms and due AF very close to each other (I'm due 9th).

I'm finding the wait hard today, the not knowing is driving me crazy! I'm 9DPO today and my symptoms are lower abdominal cramps and tenderness, bad nausea to the point where sometimes I'm nearly sick, emotional (teary), lower back pain, boobs are tender but only if I push on them (TMI), bloating, increased urination. I'm also feeling either really hot or really cold. Not in a shivery feverish way but I'm always one or the other (I don't feel poorly). Has anyone else experienced that?

These are never things I experience in run up to AF, I usually only get some cramping either the day before AF or on the day and all this has been since 3DPO. I'm trying not to get my hopes up though....

CherryVicky29 · 04/10/2017 07:18

So I’m now 7dpo and for past two nights I have had extremely vivid dreams that make zero sense 😂

VJONES1985 · 04/10/2017 06:46

Me too...

BFN today. I'm hoping it's just too early but it has made me recognise that I might not be preggers!

VJONES1985 · 03/10/2017 20:22

Yep :-(

JadeA021 · 03/10/2017 20:21

Its so difficult to wait when you're having all the positive symptoms and other people with the same symptoms get a BFP at this stage.

VJONES1985 · 03/10/2017 20:14

I'm trying to convince myself to wait until Sunday but I know I will cave

JadeA021 · 03/10/2017 20:13

I did this morning and it was a BFN but i'm going to try again in the morning but If it comes back with another BFN i'm just going to wait until Monday.
