Any one else due AF 20/06?

@Kaybobx @snapple21

Sh#t you guys are sending me off the edge now I also want to test Monday I will be 10dpo and I also have spare cheapie test strips.

I have the same sadistic hobby - like hey lets torture ourselves as soon as we open our eyes and pee on a stick that sounds like fun then I'm all dissapointed and get despondent (and have no one else to blame but myself) but guess what tomorrow I do it all over again.

@MarmieP you are very welcome.

I was thinking of testing Tuesday/ Wednesday with FRER (thats why I spent £30 buying from Amazon today because I had big intentions of starting testing from 11dpo) but now with the cramps I had a little talk with myself and just decided its best to wait until AF because I am likely just going to be wasting the tests.

If you think this month is different for you when do you think the earliest you test will be?

@Kaybobx yes I am pep talking myself as well saying come one not every dam thing is a symptom. I mean I spent an hour in the bathroom trying to determine if one extremely subtle vein in my left boob has always looked like that or if I am getting veiny. Like come on get with it. So yes totally telling myself come on pull yourself towards yourself you got 8 days until AF comes shake it off and wait it out.

Which is why I have come to the conclusion that the cramps I have been feeling today are most certainly AF cramps as they not mild or calm. They eating me alive kind of cramps

@snapple21 @Kaybobx @Firsttymmum @Mygossip

I am with you, these symptoms are driving me mad and I am exactly the same Kaybobx I think I am out very very bad period cramps like severely which is annoying because I just spent another 30 quid on tests. Agh.
Boobies have sharp stabbing pains but I have had that before and it meant nothing. The cramps are really bad like painful so I think I am going to buy that Clearblue fertility monitor so and focus on next month.

@snapple21 its sad when you can rationalise it. I am so thirsty and because of that peeing a lot. my neck is on fire but again I think that comes down to actually sleeping wrong and hurting my neck a little or the heat is from my allergies. Like I don't want logical explanations LOL!! I want the unexplained.

@NJ2910 Good Morning :)

Thank you, that is interesting, I did not want to Google it (the restraint was with great difficulty hahaha) because I was having such bad AF cramps that I have already started to count myself out.

You never know, some people implant early. Upset tummy and feeling a bit sick can mean something keep monitoring it and see if it intensifies. FX for all of us

@Firsttymmum mum and aunties keep saying just have faith it will happen. So I really understand what you mean.

@snapple21that is great news, thank you so much for letting me know. I am looking at buying one off Ebay as I have seen some pretty convincing reviews. But wanted to actually physically ask someone and hear their response. So sorry you miscarried that must have been really difficult. Wow what an amazing feat to fall pregnant straight afterwards. What a blessing.

@Flossy20 I keep telling myself only when AF arrives but yeah its not likely to happen. I think maybe at about 12dpo. I don't think I am going to be one of those mums that will have HCG really early. I really think I would only see after AF is late. Just my luck kind of thing lol. Doesn't stop me from testing early though let me tell you. Some months I have serious self control and only test the day AF is due get a negative and then she starts a few hours later. The dissapointment never stops feeling soul crushing.

How is everyones symptoms going?

After having practically nothing all day yesterday last night in bed the pain in my left side of my back returned and seriously bad AF cramps like really bad ones. So I am already thinking I am probably going to be out this month. Usually the cramps only start 3/4 days before its due for me but it definitely feels like AF cramps. I am also feelling run down but that is likely because I am not taking my hay-fever tabs. The only really weird thing that happened was 2DPO and last night (6DPO) my boobs felt on fire like someone had rubbed Deep Heat all over my chest area. weird to explain.

@Firsttymmum yes its going to be looooooong week. At least in here we have support from people who are actually going through the same thing. As friends and family can be supportive but if they too are not in the same boat they don't really understand (through no fault of their own)

On a different note has anyone used the Clearblue Advanced Fertility Monitor to track ovulation and test for pregnancy?

@Gracie92 good luck!!! TWW suck!!!

@Firsttymmum well done one doing nothing and trying to relax I have not been able to I get so hopeful every month.

Staying positive is so hard. Good luck on getting your tests done. Wishing you all the best and hope it goes well.

Its so tough when everyone around is getting pregnant and you're struggling especially family members. I have cousins who are all having children sometimes their second child already. Same with friends..I am 29 and really want it so badly!!!!

Wishing all of us the best xx
