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?

Hi Ladies, I have been trying to conceive for 3 months now and I think I ovulated on 5/6 this month. I did a opk on these days and on 5th it was faint so didn't count that one, did again on 6th and the line was obviously there. I have been feeling very emotional at work where I cry with no reason and been nausea's. Did a test which is way to early and was negative which I knew would be the case. I woke up today with what feels like a hangover except I have not been drinking. I'm praying these are all good signs that I might be. My last period started on 25th Jan and only last 3 days. Anyone else get these signs? Hope you all get what you wish, fingers crossed.

Cake thanks for letting me know! I think I'll give that one a miss because I won't know what to feel for!

@Seeinglines how many dpo are you now :)

hcbaggs · 16/02/2018 06:24

@Seeinglines this looks really promising! Fingers crossed everything continues along the right path 
@winterwarmers don't give up hope! It's still quite early, that's why I'm not testing yet. I know it's the slowest and worst week ever, but we can get through it Thanks

winterwarmers · 16/02/2018 06:21

@Seeinglines i was so hopeful my temp went up a bit and my heart rate too :( i'm 10 dpo maybe it's just too early

Bfn :(

winterwarmers · 15/02/2018 22:35

testing tomorrow at 10dpo i had a dark opk today because you know poas obsession

pasbeaucoupdegendarme · 15/02/2018 21:26

mama congratulations 😊

redrose I cannot bring myself to buy the expensive tests... kind of feel it puts even more pressure on! So I’m going to be holding out for a while for a result, too, I think.

Cakelaur · 15/02/2018 21:21

After my pretty definite bfn I stared at it all day and finally decided to poas ic one after not holding at all. And of course another bfn. Defo losing my mind! But hey ho. Tiny bit of spotting today when wiping but I did have this with my bfp.

hcbaggs · 15/02/2018 21:06

Keep us updated @Mama87 Grin
I'm still just about putting off temptation to POAS until Sunday! Plus DH wants to be there when I do and he doesn't get back from some time away working until late Saturday. I think that's the only thing that's keeping me away from the packets! I should have got him to hide them before he left Wink
Still having small amounts of brown CM today, stomach cramping and some other mild symptoms but don't "feel pregnant" so much any more, just terribly constipated and full of trapped wind (which I would get the week before AF is due anyway Sad). Fingers crossed I'm still in the running but only time will tell!
How is everyone else doing?

Mama87 · 15/02/2018 21:01

Thankyou @hcbaggs and @Seeinglines i have everything crossed but feeling hopeful especially seen as dh saw it too. Will re-test in the morning Grin

hcbaggs · 15/02/2018 20:57

I've got everything crossed for you @Mama87 Grin When are you going to retest?

Seeinglines · 15/02/2018 20:55

mama that’s great news! A line is a line! Are you going to retest tomorrow? I already can’t wait for the morning to retest!
redrose there’s still hope yet, might just take a bit longer to get a bfp on those tests, but if it’s there it’s there.
Good luck everyone!
