Help!!, has anyone had the following symptoms, lower back ache, and sore breasts so sore that even getting into the shower is a problem (with the water hitting them) been like this for nearly a week and period not due until next Friday. I don't usually suffer this early, maybe 3-4 days before and not this bad, have noticed that my nipples feel like they are expanding on my breasts and the part where the nipple meets the breast is very swollen on both, like a raised ring going round, never ever had that before. I have PCOS and have my 1st appointment with IVF clinic on 9th Dec, could it be ever so possible that....... , oh well, it might just be my body telling me I'm due AF. Also every god damn time I dry my hair and the towel brushes against my breasts I could scream in agony (well not that bad, but bad enough). Also I have been taking Clomid to help with the ovulation part of PCOS and on my last AF, Gynie told me to take 150mg and not 100mg (as I have been doing for last 5 months), do you think that the increase in doseage may have anything to do with my breasts being so painful. I have a god damn cold as well which I have caught off one of the pupils at the school where I work.

Malinki, it would be lovely to say something definite but I don't think anyone can - no symptoms are conclusive enough in the absence of a test. The swollen nipple thing is very, very hopeful IMO but I don't know about Clomid...

I think smellymelly is probably right that it's too early to test, which must be AGONY for you! I truly understand how you must feel right now - the excitement and anxiety must be at fever pitch - but I think you just have to go quietly mad on Mumsnet till you get to test. We'll help you through! Why not start a 'keep malinki off the ceiling' thread and we'll post soothing mantras at you for the next few days

Very exciting, but I'd definitely wait, you would never get a BFP 8 days early, although you could try Tues morning.

I have had positives 3 days before and this time 5 days but am expecting twins.

I know how hard it is to wait, especially in your situation, but please do as you will only be disappointed at the moment....

You can't wait that long Malinki-we want to know!

You can get those "first response" tests now. They're meant to be very acurate i think.

Best of luck!

Is it not too early to test though, its my DH birthday a week next Tuesday, you don't want to even think what I'm thinking about presents, this one couldn't be wrapped and wouldn't it be so exciting just wrapping a BFP PG testing kit up and giving it to him, I've always dreamed of a moment when that would happen, but I'm so scared to test now!!!
