Early symptoms of pregnancy?

[scrobble]

Hi,

Have been ttc since Feb and am due to start AF Weds - the thing is, since about 4-5 days after I ovulated (using Clearblue sticks) my boobs have been really solid and heavy, kind of like the consistency of computer gel wrist rests! Have also had on and off cramps.

Does this sound like it could be good news for a change? I've had crampy feelings before, but never the boob thing, they haven't ever been this big (or hurty going downstairs!) before AF before!

Have done 2 tests, 1 early one on Sat (tho prob too early - was just getting impatient!) and 1 normal 1 today (cheapo 99p one that said not to test until first day of AF being due!). Obviously, both were negs...

Sorry for such a long post for the first thread I've started, but hopefully someone who has already been pg once can give me an idea of whether this sounds like good news...

It could be that you are pg. I had really tender boobs with my DD well before period was due but with my current pregnancy had no real symptoms at all until about 7 weeks pregnant.
If i was you I would wait and see if AF arrives weds if not then test then, I guess you're pretty happy on your cycles and when abouts you are likely to have ovulated as if you test to early you can get theses negs which may be false.

Fingers crossed and good luck !!!

Sore boobs were the first symptom of my pregnancy when I was about 3 weeks pg.

Good luck - I hope you get the result you want when you test again.

scrobble-this is me exactly and I have one DD and had a recent MC so tested positive twice. My boobs are solid and extremely painful and have been since ovulation also with horrible cramps. Due Sat 22nd and like you got a BFN today. Never had boobs like this before not even when I had my DD. I think all PG and all days before AF are different. I am just going to keep testing and will keep my eye out for you as well. Good Luck hun ((xx))

massive sore boobs was one of my main indicators with both of my babies.
Hang in there all of you and good luck xxx

Really sore tender boobs were my first pg symptom. Had really irregular AFs (5 in 20 months), so had no idea if and when ovulating.
Felt extremely tired and boobs were heavy and sore. Dating scan showed I was 5 weeks pg when I got my BFP. (Ds is now 17 mo!)

Thanks all and sounds promising! Will keep on hoping and keep everyone posted...

for me the big give away was chucking my boots up! from abotu 3 days post ovulation! but got sore boobs too.

fingers crossed for you! and lots of babydust

Just to update you all-got a BFP yesterday-hurrah!

Good luck scrobble! You are next!

congratulations!!!

Brilliant news ! Congratulations

Hi HumphreysCorner, and big congrats! Enjoy your pregnancy hun.

Thanks for wishes but I guess I'm not...it was AF yesterday after all...next month here I come!

Had a good cry last night then pulled myself together and went out (am in a play next week so need to rehearse!!)

Felt better this morning after letting it all out, but nearly set off crying again when a close colleague announced she was pregnant - that's 3 now this year, and each time I've thought 'it should have been me'. I know that's selfish and I'm trying not to resent other people's happiness, but sometimes it can be really hard...I really want a bump of my own, am sick of having a flat belly (never thought I'd be saying that after spending ages getting a flat belly!!)

Oh scrobble, I'm so sorry to hear AF arrived. I had to grin and bear 4 of my friends announcing themselves PG but I got there in the end and so will you. You are certainly not being selfish.

Enjoy your play and hope to see you on the antenatal threads soon!

((xx))

Aww, thanks. Will make it to the antenatal boards if it kills me! (or perhaps kills DH? )
