I don't really think I'm gonna get a positive test this month, but there is a CHANCE as we dtd just before my positive OPK but not any more as I was ill.

So naturally, now that the seed has been planted (ho hum) i'm noticing all kinds of weirdness:

Left-hand pelvic pain
Kind of stabby left-had abdominal pain
Bloating and SO MUCH GAS (could be the over indulgent bank holiday weekend)
Heart rate really increased but has now dipped (Could be my stupid tracker which keeps malfunctioning and frequently thinks I'm dead)
funky smelling urine
SO TIRED
Feeling vaguely queasy

Anyone else? Let's compare!!! I can take a test in six days but I think I'm gonna wait it out to see if AF arrives as tests are so expensive...

@whyhastherumgone I'm pretty sure af is coming this month and will probably come early saying that I've made it longer than my last 2 cycles .

@mrsmdd thrush AND piles? you lucky thing, you Grin
I'm super tired too, it's actually really really annoying, I'm not getting anything done.

@shortandstout1 we are due very similar time - I'm due 17th! i do think AF will come this time as well, despite all the oddness that's going on.

So frustrating that 'symptoms' can also be a sign of impending AF.

I'm terrible with symtom spotting. I'm on cycle 2 I have no idea when I ovulated, I became addicted to taking tests last month and I tried to buy no more tests until closer to when af due but ordered some cheap ones on prime yesterday so they'll come today. AF is due 16th (but could come at any time as my cycles have been short) but my nipples are sore but no others symtoms really.

First cycle for me properly trying to conceive here. Very bad AF cramps at 7dpo and then continued for a week. Also had right hand stabby pain and just weird shooting pains in pelvis in general like if I stood up or moved much? Super tired, veiny boobs (but not tender?) slightly dizzy, and thrush and piles to top it all off Blush did a 6day early FRER on Saturday and it was negative. Did to cheapys yesterday also negative. Due AF tomorrow but I really don't think I'll get a positive this month!
