I think I ovulated on CD19. Due to DH work commitments we only managed SWI once but that was on CD19. I know a BFP is still possible but we did only do it once.

It's too early to test but I have all my hopes of a BFP running through my head and symptom spotting. My body has been cruel in the past though and got my hopes up only for AF to appear.

However, this evening I am feeling quite nauseous and have had feelings like ligament pulling in my abdomen. Also slightly tender boobs.

I'm 8dpo and just want the next week to be over so I know!!!

Feel better for getting that out!

Hi SBC I'm also on cbfm thread with you but as 2ww sneaked across. I'm 6 or 7 dpo but lots of either imp bleeding or early AF (although would be mega early) who knows.

2 days late a good sign though.my tests are at work so I can't test unless I nip to boots.... Which I'm not doing, am holding out until wednesday wich will be around 10dpo. Really wishing you good luck for BFP! X

SlightlyBabyCrazed · 19/02/2011 12:37

FX for us all!

Had one similarly altered cycle about 18 months ago, but weren't ttc very hard then, so FX! x

hartey · 19/02/2011 21:25

Am feeling quite blue - no idea why!

Can't wait to test or for AF to arrive! Limbo sucks!

hartey · 19/02/2011 22:13

Think it must be AF - never paid much attention before - hope I can still be philosophical about it all if it is!

SlightlyBabyCrazed · 20/02/2011 12:07

hartey - glad it's not just me - also feeling blue. Have woken up with stronger AF style cramps and had brownish spotting - no full AF yet, but must be on it's way today Sad

hartey · 20/02/2011 12:17

You girls are all really in touch with symptoms etc - I'm rubbish - feeling tired and not much else and I can't read too much into it as working four days a week and having a two year old will do that to you!

TeaAndOranges · 20/02/2011 16:47

I've tested again today, BFN but at 8dpo.

You're right hartey this limbo is awful, I need to not think about it but then have to because have to be aware of timing and OV etc.

Have the normal Pre-AF symptons of sugar craving and slight aches so would be v. surprised if this month is the month, fx for everyone.

maybebabyR · 20/02/2011 18:09

Hi everyone, welcome to the new people!

AF has not arrived yet, 14 DPO, but will resist to test, as don't want another BFN Smile

Getting a funny prodding sensation in my belly, but I am guessing that could just be wishful thinking!!

FX for you all girlies Grin

Loup23 · 20/02/2011 19:29

nearly the start of another week so hope those AFs stay away and some BFPs come along.... when is everyone testing? bumpwanted did you test?

Sorry to hear that tea but 8dpo still early, from looking on line lots of people are 14dpo if not longer so can really depend. I'm 6 or 7 dpo today and really want to test tomorrow but hate the BFNs... roll on Wednesday. Good luck all

TeaAndOranges · 20/02/2011 19:51

Hi Loup, I'll be testing on Wednesday which will be 11dpo. I have no more tests left now so that'll stop me testing too earlyGrin.

Fx for you and anyone else testing soon.

wrinklyraisin · 20/02/2011 20:43

Can I join you gals?

Am 6/7dpo and having crazy intense symptoms already: boobs grown 2 cupsizes overnight, they are veiny, bumpy uber sensitive nips that are leaking watery milk already (WTF???), heavy solid lower abdomen, cramps and insomnia and lack of apetite. All started within the last day or two and are intensifying by the hour. Am freaking out a little tbh.

Loup23 · 20/02/2011 22:23

Welcome wrinkly hope they are early symptoms for you - when is AF due? When will you test? Am impressed you've held out this long!

Am feeling negative about BFP but secretly hoping as we all are I expect...

Good luck tea hope weds brings bfp for us!

Bumpwanted · 20/02/2011 23:01

Hi girls

Yep I tested yest morning (at 4.30am when I woke to go to the loo and then I couldn't go back to sleep!) and I can't believe it but I got a BFP! Grin I am still in shock at the moment and can't quite believe it. I keep going back to look at the test!

Will look back over my posts and then write a little list of what I felt when as I didn't get the sore nipples/lots of cm/spotting or anything like that. So don't be disheartened if you haven't had the classic symptoms. I've mostly been having horrific period type pains (since ovulation day) which are a little scary now I know I am pregnant but apparently its just stuff stretching!

Thanks for all of your support this past week. I feel really lucky and I hope that the same baby dust falls on you all too. Looking forward to hearing about all your BFPs over the next couple of weeks

xx

Loup23 · 20/02/2011 23:06

Oh my god bump! Fantastic that's such brilliant news, congratulations. So hoping more BFPs come along (especially to me!) How many dpo were you today?

SpareRoomSleeper · 20/02/2011 23:09

Oh Wow, congratulations bumpwanted - I am so thrilled for you! :-)

Hi all, Im entering my 2ww too, and my mind is already wandering towards POAS. Blush not good, I know.

Bumpwanted · 20/02/2011 23:21

I was 10 DPO when I tested and my AF was due on about Wed/Thurs so I tested 4-5 days before that. Tested first with first response and got a quite faint line at 4.30am and then with one of those digital ones in the evening which took forever and eventually popped up 1-2 weeks pregnant so its still really really early.

Going to bed (I don't even really have the tiredness symptom given I am still up at 11.20pm!) but will write a list of what I felt and when in the morning so you can keep an eye out for anything similar you are feeling.

Thanks Loup and Spare. I am keeping my fingers crossed for you! xx

goingmadtrying · 20/02/2011 23:58

Yeah a bfp well done bumpwanted

maybebabyR · 21/02/2011 10:00

Ah, congrats bump so so pleased for you Grin

Bumpwanted · 21/02/2011 10:14

Awh thanks girls. Am scared excited! Ok here is what I felt and when...

  • From ovulation very small period pain type cramps
  • 7DPO mild cramps, underside of boobs sore but top of boobs and nipples fine despite a lot of prodding, I think I might be going to the loo a bit more!
  • 8DPO pretty bad cramps, lower back ache in the evening, tummy felt full of air, hungry and a bit tired
  • 9DPO feeling pretty normal, tummy flatter, underside of boobs still hurt but nowhere else, few cramps but nothing too bad
  • 10DPO bad cramps but a BFP Grin
  • 11 DPO my boobs have exploded...they are huge and apparently my right nipple sticks out more (my husband's contribution to all of this)
  • 12DPO boobs hurting a bit more, urine really dark yellow, dry lips and quite thirsty

I didn't get any spotting, my nipples are fine(!), no change in cm its very light, I'm not that tired, I've had cramps but not a sharp pain by my belly button like something is implantin and I don't feel sick.

I found so many people have so many different symptoms and I was always reading back what someone felt when they got a BFP but I don't think I got a lot of the classic ones until about a day or so ago. The biggest indicator for me was horrendous period pains but a week before I was due on (I'd normally get them the day I start).

I hope you all get some BFPs too this month. Will check back to see how you are doing. Good luck! xxxx

maybebabyR · 21/02/2011 10:41

Thanks for all that bump

I have literally exactly the same symptoms, but today have been feeling very sick, and nearly passed out on way to work. Turned around and scuttled home to the sofa and a blanket!

Am 14 DPO today, but don't want to take another test in case its a BFN Sad

Bumpwanted · 21/02/2011 10:56

Awwh hun. I totally get that. When did you last take one? Could be this time you will get a BFP though!

When is your AF due? Are you late? xx

maybebabyR · 21/02/2011 10:59

I took one on Thursday (not FMU). AF was due yesterday, so am a bit late!

Just don't want to get my hopes up x

Bumpwanted · 21/02/2011 11:02

I got a BFN on Thurs too and then a BFP on Sat. I so hope you do too!

I totally understand not wanting to get your hopes up. The three minutes of staring at my pee on a stick at the worst ever waiting to be put out of my misery.

Have you set yourself a deadline e.g if it doesn't come by Wed I will test? I think Loup is testing then too.

xx

maybebabyR · 21/02/2011 11:04

Haha, I know, those 3 minutes can seem like the longest ever!!

I have set a Wed deadline too. I am exercising my self control. I have 3 tests on my bathroom shelf, I swear they are looking at me Grinx

Loup23 · 21/02/2011 11:12

Good luck maybe AF late is a good sign, I hope a bfp comes along soon.

I am trying to hold out until Weds as will then be 10dpo, luckily have no tests at home to tempt me otherwise.

Thanks for symptoms bump. I don't really have any apart from big sore boobs (but expected before AF) and weird on/off bleeding until saturday (6dpo) - AF not due for another week.

Good luck to all. maybe hope wednesday brings us good news xx
