oh we have a little weekend of BFP coming our way lets keep positive ... she says but inside is in complete mental turmoil... I keep straddling thinking this is it, then thinking no it cant be!!!!
@VJONES1985 , are cramps at this stage of your cycle normal? ..

I have held off testing as I only have one test and I am in Italy and they keep all the tests behind the counter and I don't speak Italian so its all very complicated to ask.... anyway I plan to test tomorrow first thing (Thursday) .. AF due Sunday...
has anyone / does anyone know anyone where the early tests (clear blue, 6 days pre period detection) have actually worked???.. all I see is stories of testing too soon, having to wait until late...

@mrsmumtobe are you normally like clockwork? is 1-2 days late unusual for you? this seems positive!! I am like you a week of cramping, never have this pre AF though, normally during AF

@EverythingNow I am in the same boat, I have a wedding on Friday!!! could do with knowing either way, but AF not due to Sunday...

VJONES1985 · 04/10/2017 08:11

Having cramps this morning that feel like AF Sad

EverythingNow · 04/10/2017 08:03

Morning everyone,
I think I’m either 10 or 11dpo today, bfn yesterday and felt deflated. I usually start to spot by 11/12dpo so am just trying to hold off buying anymore tests (as if!) until Friday.
I’ve got a big night out Saturday so could do with knowing early!

Mrsmumtobe I had lightheadedness yesterday morning walking back from school, which is not normal for me either, I veered across the path!

Mrsmumtobe · 04/10/2017 07:47

I'm feeling the pain ladies, AF is officially 1 to 2 days late! But 2 BfNs so far! Only used internet cheapies (early detection) reluctant to pay £10 a pop for clear blue if it's just going to give the same outcome!
Have been having a lot of odd cramping feelings and been getting pretty light headed and mood swingy...... I normally cramp pretty bad before af but this have been for a week now and no sign..... sigh

Welcome @mamabear, sending positive vibes, think we are all feeling we are in the same boat!

Congratulations @si1ver that's amazing news, I'm so pleased for you!!

I'm 9DPO today and trying to hold off testing until Sunday (AF due Monday 9th) . Is anyone else testing that day?

Mammabear31 · 04/10/2017 07:36

Hi all, can I join? Currently on cycle 19. 11dpo, AF due on Saturday. Just did a Frer and got a BFN. I know I'm not out, but I certainly feel I am right now!

VJONES1985 · 04/10/2017 07:26

It's weird because literally none of the symptoms I've had this month are what I usually have before AF, which is what for me thinking in the first place. However, as I get closer to my expected period, obviously I'm starting to doubt myself. We turn into irrational, possessed women.

PinkChocolatex · 04/10/2017 07:22

Ugh I know how you feel...I've tested twice today! DH thinks I'm acting crazy!!! Why do PMS symptoms have to be the same as pregnancy! Argh! x

VJONES1985 · 04/10/2017 07:12

Or until AF appears, of course

VJONES1985 · 04/10/2017 07:12

@PinkChocolatex Thanks, am trying not to get too positive though. Need to back away from the test strips until at least Sunday!!

PinkChocolatex · 04/10/2017 07:07

@VJONES1985 don't give up Hun ...I'm 9dpo and had a bfn too but holding out incase it's cus the hcg levels are too low in my FMU x

VJONES1985 · 04/10/2017 06:53

Had this just now, at 9dpo. Am starting to thinking it's not my month after all

Any October testers?

Yes, thinking of you @peachesarenom and @ash1987. Nice that I'm not alone!

peachesarenom · 03/10/2017 18:50

ash1987 that is so sweet I'll be thinking of you too and VJONES1985

VJONES1985 · 03/10/2017 18:39

@ash1987 I am due on Sunday also but I'm 8dpo today. Had loads of symptoms but am still starting to fret about it now, for God's sake.

VJONES1985 · 03/10/2017 18:33

I'm 8dpo and just poas. It was negative and I cried. Why do we do this??

Owlpatrol · 03/10/2017 12:40

Hey all congratulations si7ver this is keeping me positive. Hello to all those due AF this weekend, this is going to be a long week. I haven't got any tests at home as I had promised myself not to test until Af due but this month is really hard. Obsessively symptom spotting....
Sore boobs
Feeling really emotional
No cramps
However this is so similar to pms I have given up symptom spotting now. Praying af doesn't arrive and I might test Sunday xx

ash1987 · 03/10/2017 11:53

@peachesarenom your signs all look similar to what I experienced last week also..... I am hoping and praying for us as both our AF due on Sunday.

ash1987 · 03/10/2017 11:49

hey @mrsmumtobe, chem preg is a clinical term for a very early miscarriage (so I am told), I did not even have a BFP. Apparently this is very common, the only reason I detected it was because I was a week early on my period and bled for 2 whole weeks, heavy for about 8 days... I was exhausted to say the least but no pains!!

@si1ver, HUGE HUGE CONGRATS... your journey to this point seems tough, sending lots of positive vibes.

today I am 9/10 DPO and trying all my might not test... hoping to hold out to Thursday morning, AF due Sunday, so hopefully first response more accurate at this point. my pulling, cramping has stopped and the only slight symptom I now have is my boobs are slightly veiny and I think darker... but I never gave them too much attention before this point so I do not know!!!

Upsydasiy · 03/10/2017 10:52

Congratulations @si1ver

Can I join in? Ttc #1
Tested this morning and bfn, got loads symptoms but sure it's just withdrawal from contraceptives 😔
Not sure when to retest. I tested today as I classed myself as late (would be free week) oh has brought me back to earth and reminded me that I normally come on Thursday night and my cycles are bound to be a mess 😱

Wants · 03/10/2017 07:49

I feel a bit of a fraud being here as I am not actually ttc. I have been exhausted, feeling sick everyday for a week, pulling and cramping and I've got a stuffy nose. My boobs hurt if Ds tries to feed too. Af is due weds so we shall see. It would be baby number 4. Sending positive vibes to everyone Smile

peachesarenom · 02/10/2017 22:18

Si1ver congratulations!

AF due on sun for me. I think!

In the middle of the sat night I woke up in the middle of the night with a sharp pain in my abdomen. I thought I might be having digestive issues but no problem there.

All last week I had this random feeling in my lower belly (I'm 'curvey') feelings in my muscles from one hip to the other.

I have also not felt very hungry these days which is unusual for me but on sat I couldn't stop eating.

I have been very bloated.

I had a headache on Sat which is also unusual!

Friday night till Sun afternoon I was inctedibly exhausted.

Myself and hubby are trying not to get excited but at this point I can't stop myself! I think I'll be a bit devestated actually if I'm not preggo!

Mrsmumtobe · 02/10/2017 22:09

Aw sorry @fatcat, will happen when the time is right I'm sure!
Stay strong VJones, if no AF I am going to test thur also!

EverythingNow · 02/10/2017 21:48

That should say randoms! I need to check before I post! Anyway I reckon this cycle will be 24days, bfn today at 9dpo.

EverythingNow · 02/10/2017 21:47

Fatcat17 same here. Cycles were consistently 27 days (apart from after my chemical 18m ago when I had a few ransoms) now ttc and it’s getting earlier each month!
