Interesting! I’m going to try and hold out until Wednesday which I think will be 10/11 DPO 🤞🏻

Everyone thank you for the good wishes ❤️
@HopefulCove no, I don't get different symptoms. Just lack of advance period cramps (which I don't get every month anyway), and missed period. Everything else identical to a non-pregnancy cycle. Nothing will change for at least another week. I'm rushing around trying to get everything in order before the puking and uselessness starts!

Who is testing next?

@HopefulCove I had an idea yesterday. My stomach was rock hard all day and I needed to pee more. I was craving salt during the week and was very weepy on Wednesday. I think all that happened was that my cycles have settled since my MMC. My luteal phase was shorter ever since. I also ovulated earlier this cycle. I think I just needed to give my body time!

@SureLook@GrizzlyTheBear. Did you have any different symptoms this month? Did either of you know/feel like you were preg before late period/BFP?

Fingers crossed @HopefulCove I felt very anxious and down on Wednesday but I've perked up a bit now. So I'm cautiously hopeful! I don't want to get my hopes up too much.
