I’m currently 8dpo and I think I’m pregnant. Obviously too early to do a test yeah I did one any way and it was bfn so just symptom spotting til bfp or af turns up.

I had an early miscarriage at five weeks last month. I wasn’t going to do and opks this month but did one anyway positive opk on cd14 and cd16 negative on cd17.
But basically I’m having the same symptoms as last month. Some slight abdominal pain, some indigestion, really dry cracked lips, really emotional, really strange smell to my urine. All of which I had last month just before or around my bfp. Insomnia too, but I do work shifts so this could explain that. I just feel pregnant.
Anyone want to keep me company while we wait the week out?

Sorry amyel, I don’t use any of the “gadgets” so I’ve no idea what might be happening for you!

Congratulations ladypenelope - hope your dh can celebrate soon too 😊

Have been feeling more on an even keel today - less crap and less sore. Dunno what that means but I feel a bit more “zen” about the whole thing. What will be will be!

I’m ttc. Been trying for 8months. Had spotting after being intimate on weds night and nothing since. I’m due for period In 2 days. Just taken OPK test and it’s positive?? Anybody had this before?

Same here really ladypenelope my DP keeps saying “if you’re pregnant” until I do a digital I don’t think he will believe it. And he doesn’t want to get hopes up after last month

I tested with first morning this morning and have a very faint positive on a cheapie. Tested a couple of hours later and nothing so thinking it might just be early days. DH won’t be convinced until I produce a strong positive as he doesn’t want to get his hopes up Confused

NSD I’ve had a few symptoms, weird things really, I just felt like I was pregnant. I said to my DP when I was 7dpo that I was pregnant. Obviously too early to test and didn’t get bfp til 10dpo, but I just knew. I had dry lips which I had last time, and occasional twinges in my vagina Blush

Af is due tomorrow for me. I still have my rumbly tummy and achy legs just like j did before, but if AF shows that means I can start the clear blue trial and get my £100 voucher at the end of it! SO that will soften the blow of AF arriving haha

NSD1986 · 17/02/2018 08:34

LadyPenelopeCantDance, applesauce1, I agree. Its odd now not wanting AF. pasbeaucoupdegendarme I did a FRER and got BFN. Im not due til Tue/ Wed so hoping its just too early.
Seeinglines congrats, have you had many other symptoms? Fatigue is a big one isn't it?

I’m so tired tonight. Please excuse me not replying to everyone properly. Welcome to the newcomers.
I’m off to bed soon haha how my Friday nights have changed!

NSD I’ll test again tomorrow which will be two days apart. Think af is due sometime between Sunday and Tuesday.

I’m pretty sure I’m pg. I’m getting really weird feelings in my uterus - bizarrely like mild braxton hicks! Tingly boobs still, feeling grim —and lots of discharge— Only got cheap sticks though!

applesauce1 · 16/02/2018 18:17

I could have written your post myself, LadyPenelope! I've been greeting AF with relief for so many years, it's such a weird change. AF due between Tues and Weds next week and dreading feeling the familiar cramps.
I'm going skiing on Sunday and will be packing both cheap and luxury piss sticks to continue my obsession.

LadyPenelopeCantDance · 16/02/2018 18:11

Can I join too ladies? TTC 1, Cycle 1. Currently 9DPO and nothing on FRER this morning but I have been having what I think is implantation bleeding and cramping but no BFP yet. Have another FRER to try on Sunday. Such a strange thing TTC after so many years of avoiding pregnancy! Wink

applesauce1 · 16/02/2018 18:00

Congratulations mama and seeinglines!
We're first month of TTC. Have between 34 and 39 day cycles since coming off the pill in September.
I'm 9dpo and have been poas like a crazy woman for the past 4 days. All bfn. Did a clear blue digital test yesterday and got a negative (on my birthday, thought it might be the best birthday present and ended up giving me a grumpy day!).

Been having womb twinges and feeling exhausted. Had been hoping these were symptoms, but now i think the twinges are probably normal and I just hadn't been noticing them before. And I'm always exhausted so probably nothing new there!

Going to keep poas (Amazon cheapies) until AF comes. I literally cannot stop myself, even though I know that it is ridiculously wishful thinking that we'll be successful in the first month of trying...

winterwarmers · 16/02/2018 15:39

@Redrosebelle i think so :(

Redrosebelle · 16/02/2018 15:28

THis is just an Evap from yesterday’s test right??

NSD1986 · 16/02/2018 15:24

pasbeaucoupdegendarme, yes I have been grumpy. Very short fused like Seeinglines said. When are you due AF? I just get so excited on diff symptoms then see AF. How often are people trying. I see do it every day or every other. I really can say I feel horrible this month. Not had headaches and nausea's like this before. I'm gagging easily also. Just can't get my head round getting symptoms when 9/10 DPO, seems too soon. Will do another test in morning as have a first response one to try. Doesn't help that I am impatient :(.

pasbeaucoupdegendarme · 16/02/2018 14:59

NSD I’ve been feeling hungover too. Also very grumpy!!
