How about a June baby then (or even the end of May!)

I failed in my resolve and did a clear blue this morning - and bfn! Don't feel pregnant though, though I don't feel like I am about to start my period either. Slightly sore boobs but am maybe just cold (I have very sensitive nipples to cold) and the metallic taste has gone. Don't know what to think...

Well ladies...morning all....

After giving my DP a good piece of my tongue...tested this morning and got a BFN.

How stupid do I feel now....

Still no real sign of AF just spotting. Now CD17 and worried as I have never had a Luteal phase this long before.....

Well...will give it another day before booking an appointment with the doc...which reminds me....with the BFN came an appointment in the post for ARGC for fertility treatment which was nice as have been told their waiting lists can range from 6 to 8 weeks. My appointment is in 3 weeks time,...yeah!!!

Hey ladies lots of interesting things going on here ? goody goody

VickyJane ? hang on in there hon, it?s not over until the fat lady REALLY arrives could well be an implantation bleed I had bleeds with both MC and DS.

Waiting2exhale ? interesting! How are your temps looking? I didn?t really have any pg signs with DS, but did have some spotting. Good luck hon!!

Funkybumps ? sorry it was BFN but at 10dpo you only have a 35% chance of getting a BFP whilst on 16dpo you have an 88% chance! with DS I got BFN on 9dpo and 11dpo but then got a BFP on 14dpo! Hang on in there!!

Yellowflowers ? hang in there hon sounds good though

Jools1 ? fab detail there in your symptoms how are you feeling anyway?

Tinker ? hope you are wrong hon

Littlemissmischief - I think it?s impossible to think about anything else to be honest

Can I ask another TMI question to all of those of you who have already been pg (i know i have too but cant remeber this bit) can being tender whilst BDing been a sign of being pg? Whilst doing the deed I feel very tender inside and especially at the top almost in my lower stomach if you know what I mean, and dont normally have this just wondered if anyone had this? Any help welcome

Someone posted this link for me a while ago - before I tested last week, I spent an afternoon reading through the lot

Happy symptom spotting

Wow you lot have been busy! Its taken me ages to catch up
Right here goes.....

Twoplease - my cycles are as long as anything so cant help im afraid

MintChocAddict - sorry youve been ill, hope you caught the right time hun x

Ripmanwinkle - Nice to see you again!

MrsMcJnr - good luck for the weekend if you test x

VickyJane - hope it is not AF on its way hun

Waiting2exhale - the only pg symptom I had to begin with was REALLY sore boobs, other than that wouldnt have known I was pg!

Funkybumps - sorry your down hun,but its not over till the Red witch arrives might have just tested too early.

Jools1 - Im am amazed with yur detailed symptoms!

Madmarriednika - I totally agree that every pg is different and that includes symptoms, Everyone I know has had different symptoms to me.

Yellowflowers - I feel sorry for you too hun, its so hard isnt it, try not to get to caught up and try to keep busy till thurs

Phew....
Sorry if I missed anyone or got anything wrong, I have a terrible memory!

I have really sore boobs today and have started getting my hopes up again, although im really trying not to obsess this month, Just really want it to happen this month (as I know we all do) so cant help but think everything is pg related! Not sure what to do to keep mysef from getting worked up again

Evening -

Yellowflowers - i really feel for you - good luck and I hope thursday's testing is positive.

MrsMcjnr - thanks for thought about Vit B6 - have read a bit about it but going to do a bit more research if unlucky this cycle.

Still trying to work out when i am ovulating but trying to get in lots of BDing regardless - DH is enjoying himself

Good luck to everyone else who are hanging on in there in the 2ww.

Hi mrsmcjr, thanks for the reply. The ewcm has stopped. Having a lot of stabbing pains but I bet it is just my body preparing me for AF.

Yellowflowers Hopefully you have some good news.

funkybumps I am a chronic symptom spotter just like you. The other month I too was convinced that it was my month until the red witch. So this month I am trying not to think about the symptoms (which is quite hard) and am just putting it down to heightened pms symptoms.

been to supermarket and bought clearblue tests even though today's first response was bfn. will try not to use until thurs.

Hi ladies, well I've had the brown discharge and period type pains on and off all day, along side tingly boobs. I think AF is on its way....at least I can have a nice glass of wine at the weekend.x

hi yellowflowers, i'm not much help, i'm afraid as I'm a chronic symptom spotter and was gutted last month when my AF arrived !

Having loads and loads of period pains so I am assuming that AF is on the way...Had convinced myself they could be implantation pains but after todays BFN I guess the red witch is on her way.

I have metallic taste and I feel sick. Don't want to get excited because don't want to set myself up for a fall as I have every month so far with imagined symptoms. Please help...

With my first pregnancy I got no symptoms at all. We weren't really trying hard just kind of no longer using contraception and seeing what happened...so didn't time anything! I just woke up one morning and realised my AF was 2 days overdue. Cycled 5 miles into town for an optician's appt and decided to stop by Boots for a test. Cycled to work, did test in loo and lo-&-behold I was pregnant!! At about 6-7 weeks pregnant my boobs grew to huge proportions and became very tender, and I had some fairly mild nausea- but earlier than this I truely had no symptoms. Tiredness kicked in big time from 8 wks.

2nd pregnancy was very different. Had some brown spotting a day before AF was due so thought it was coming earlier- but then nothing- waiting for 2 more days then did test-BFP Nausea, sore, huge boobs & tiredness kicked in at 6-7 weeks- nausea far worse this time which really knocked me. Had more spotting at 8 weeks which scared me as had none before with #1.
Each pregnancy seems to be so different!

So the message is, as usual, try not to symptom spot too much!!!
With both pregnancies I had pretty bad tummy cramps but I do find these so hard to discern from AF pains, and I think they started about 2 days before AF was due, which is exactly the same as when AF is coming- so not much help Except of course they end up carrying on for longer!!

Got a while to wait before testing this month, and determined this time to wait until day after AF's due- which'll CD29 for me- as want to save some money on tests- but I bet I don't wait that long!!!

Good luck everyone xx

sorry, meant DP btw...waitingtoexhale

lol waitingtoexhale, crafty Dh you have there Oh well, at least if you wait until tomorrow morning you will get a stronger line if pg as you will have a higher concentration of the preg hormone. ( Trying to look on the bright side, feel free to tell me to shut up if you want to )

Jools1, I am seriously impressed with those detailed preg symptoms. Was frantically symptom spotting against yours but only really got the runny nose which is probbly more due to the fact that I am freezing at the moment as I am far too engrossed in Mn to go and turn the heating on

Arrh Jools thanks for that...don't quite have that many symptoms (or any at all to be honest) but will wait now until tomorrow to test as there is nothing I hate hearing more than...just tested and got a BFN and AF arrived 1min later.,....just as well really that I have come to this decision as DP has hidden the tests anyway

Hi WaitingtoExhale

In case it helps, here are my symptoms - quite detailed, but don't forget a lot of these you only recognise in hindsight and I think everything up to 8DPO could have been easily missed

CD 15 - OV Pains in PM, BD
CD16 - OV Pains in AM
1DPO, nose started suddenly running like a wide open tap (sorry if TMI !) for around 15 mins. I wonder now if that was sperm meeting egg ?

5DPO - Unusually gassy. Normal post ov boob pains

6DPO - Tiny smear of red blood on paper first thing, then a little bit more in the afternoon.

8DPO - In the afternoon, nipples suddenly got really hot and a bit tingly - stayed that way for a few hours. Noticed a tiny amount of creamy yellow CM that evening

10DPO - Starting getting mild cramps - like a poking sensation near my belly button. Boobs bigger and more tender than usual post OV I think, but difficult to tell for sure

11DPO - Poking sensation continued for a few hours. In the afternoon, nipples suddenly felt really wierd - fizzy / tingly for a few minutes. It was so strange, I thought everyone in the meeting would be able to see something

12DPO - Watery, brown tinged CM first thing in the morning - looked different to pre-AF - more watery. AF like cramps for under an hour. Loads and loads of BM's

13DPO, CD29 - brownish CM in the morning. BFP that afternoon

18DPO - soreness of boobs reaching new heights ! Tested again, just to make sure I'm not making it all up

Hi Funkybumps

whilst waiting for a response did sneak upstairs with the intention of testing..... However, it would appear my DP knows me far too well...I can't find any tests and bar going down the shops right now...it won't be pos to test until he gets home.... .

Will have strong words with him when he gets home....am not a child.......probably really annoyed as just got my hopes up to test and now can't find the bloody things...

yes I agree YF, the worst part is the waiting which if you read my earlier post you will see I am hopeless at and caved earlier and tested anyway. Don't know what I was trying to achieve really but had some tests in the house so thought it wouldn't do any harm ! All it's actually done is mananged to make me thoroughly fed up at getting a BFN !!

sorry, day 24 not 34. day 34 is today

I have absence of signs really - no twinges, no excess cm.

But no AF.

Sore boobs but not all the time. Dry mouth but this could be beginning of a cold.

Am pretty sure not pregnant.

Did have second wave of ewcm on day 34 though which could mean I ovulated later than I thought in which case maybe period not due until Fri/Sat? Hate waiting...

hi waitingtoexhale...have you got any tests ? I can't believe how good you're being. I definately would have tested by now.
As for your question, before I found out I was pregnant with DD I had period pains that felt exactly like my AF was about to start and had brown spotting for a couple of days. Doc explained this happens when the fertilized egg is attaching itself to the lining so both really good signs to be having !!

Go on test.....

My cycle is normally 31 days, so 5 days to go. Could it be implantation bleeding then? There really is not much there at the moment.
I remember when I was pregnant with my first I had light spotiing which I thought was my period. I didn't have any spotting with my second pregnancy, which ended in a MC, so I just don't know what to think, I'll find out soon enough.x

vickyjane... how long are your cycles normally as brown spotting can indicate implantation bleeds aswell ?

Well I caved and did an ebay cheapie test and suprise suprise it was a BFN !! What would be the chances of it picking up at 9 / 10dpo ? Not sure of my exact OV day but due my AF on Friday/Saturday so presumed if I was PG then it would be picking something up by now.

Was sure I was pregnant this month cos my boobs are really sore, and having loads of CM ( sorry if TMI ) which at this point in my cycle is normally non existant. I also had period pains all over the weekend which I was hoping could have been implantation pains ?!!

Really got to get another hobby instead of this constant obsessing as I just keep working myself up and then being gutted when the red witch arrives
