Am going mad symptom spotting. Have done 3 tests - all very clear BFN (days 6dpo, 8dpo and 9dpo). Have been having AF cramps for the last few days and AF due tomorrow or Weds. Despite all this I'm still desperately hoping that this will be my month. Silly eh?

Anyone else on the last couple of days of 2ww? Share your symptoms here and lets stop each other from going mad with waiting

I am there too. I'm due for AF on Tuesday / Wednesday this week but been feeling really weird lately. Not like my normal cycle. Had 2 days of spotting 18th & 19th and been feeling really sicky. SadBad indigestion and stomach cramps !I'm not a sicky person so this feeling is really out of sorts for me - I have tested twice and both bfn's. Thinking maybe I'm gonna have a really bad AF this month if it's that that's making me feel like this as test says im not preg.
Have to wait and see if my AF is late and if so get a better test and do a first morning test.

The waiting is so hard. I tried not to test as thought I would wait until I was late but same time I feel so sick thought I would Confused

Hi, I had a miscarriage in aug and now 10 days late slight sore nipples but nothing else. All tests I have done are negative. Any help?? X

Whysoserious · 21/11/2011 18:40

mytime that sounds promising! What days did you test?

Sian sorry to hear about your miscarriage . Could your body still be getting back into a rhythm maybe? If your still getting BFNs maybe a trip to the docs would set your mind at rest.

I'm getting stronger cramps now. It's so annoying! I predict AF will arrive a day early tomorrow. Stupid witch Sad

Whysoserious i tested 7 days and 10 days po (today)! I'm new to this so not even sure if it could show up yet. (Think the tests are quite sensitive but cheapies though) . Suppose I only have 2 days to wait...
Felt sooo bad today with cramping and bloating! Actually crippling pain! SadNot me at all and doesn't feel like AF cramps.
Have to be patient ... Which doesn't come naturally to me! Hmm

mytime777 · 21/11/2011 18:52

Sian really sorry to hear about your mc. Sad

Can I join in? I am not sure when AF is due as I'm trying to be all relaxed and cool about it! I'm thinking it should be any time now, but we've recently moved countries and I can honestly say I can't remember when my last one started! Think it was about 3 weeks ago. A bit of background - got married and immediately started TTC. After 18 months had various tests and then IVF x 2 which didn't work. I have various complications which I won't go into in case anyone recognises me! Anyway, after TTC and IVF totalling around 3 years we got pregnant by accident when we decided to take a break and have a year off. We were over the moon of course, and DS is now 13months. This is our first month of having lots of sex and I can't help symptom spotting!! So, pregnancy symptoms are feeling exhausted and a bit sick, AF symptoms are a headache. Who knows?! Not going to test for a while though as I think over the past 4 years I must have wasted thousands on tests!!

horseylady · 21/11/2011 19:21

ME!!! Currently 2 days late, full of cold (had it a good week - I'm rarely ill) and have sore boobs but not cramping. Pretty sure AF will come tomorow....some months I am 32 days....then back for blood test no 2 to check if I'm ovulation (though CBFM says I did!!).

If it's not come by Friday I'll test...if I can wait that long lol xx

Signet2012 · 21/11/2011 22:51

Im due AF 24th. No sign of AF as yet. No pmt.

No real symptoms either, well somethings but easily explained away without getting my hopes up.

good luck everyone

jenrendo · 22/11/2011 01:00

headache is getting worse so I think this could be the lovely AF on it's way tomorrow. Ah well, it is only our first month :)

mytime777 · 22/11/2011 15:26

I'm out this month. Sad turns out I've had stomach flu and then AF arrived today! Duvet day had today!

Have to Look Forward to next month now! Smile

Any of u managed to refrain from testing yet? Wink

farmerswifey · 22/11/2011 15:43

Please may I join? This is our very first month of trying so my mind is working overtime. AF is due on Thursday and if I'm honest I'm almost certain she's on her way - it doesn't mean I'm not keeping my fingers ever so tightly crossed though. I've no symptoms that can't be explained away by AF apart from a little spotting on Sunday, which never normally happens.....

Have ordered a couple of tests from Amazon, so as soon as they arrive (hopefully in tomorrows post) I'll give it a whirl.

Shall keep my fingers crossed for everyone x

Signet2012 · 22/11/2011 16:48

I havent tested yet... Im not offically expecting AF til Thursday. If Af doesnt arrive my aim is to wait til Sunday before testing.

Im still unsure as whether it will or wont arrive.

horseylady · 22/11/2011 20:12

Still no AF, so will be 3 days late tomorrow. Did do test this afternoon which was neg :(

Have just been to fitness class, my boobs are killing me :( guess I'll just wait for it to arrive....negative usually negative right??

Gutted....think I'm going to stop worrying about it for a couple of months.....

Whysoserious · 24/11/2011 17:49

I'm out guys Sad And onto next month SadSad

signet2012 · 24/11/2011 20:43

:( Sorry to hear that why & horseylady

Still hanging on here, although expecting to be booted off til next month at any moment

jenrendo · 25/11/2011 19:55

No AF yet but did a test yesterday and was a BFN so just waiting now. DH reckons it's been nearly 6 weeks since last AF so who knows where she is?! He seems to be better at tracking me than me!

Spiritedwolf · 27/11/2011 14:27

Good afternoon ladies, I'm fairly new here.

I have an irregular and long cycle. We've wanted a baby for years, but this year have been more actively TTC by trying to monitor cycle etc and I've been more hopeful because I've lost a significant amount of weight (still got more to lose though) and my cycles are shorter than they used to be.

Last cycle was 37 days. Longest cycle this year was 53 days in the summer.

This 'month' I'm on day 44. Last week I had stomach cramps and thought my period was on the way (which I was relatively ok with because it would have meant a shortish cycle). But it still hasn't come and now I'm feeling sick.

I'm trying not to get my hopes up and have no plans to test until day 54 (I don't have anything to give up for pregnancy, and I'm already on folic acid, so no harm in waiting). I used to test more quickly when we first started trying, but found the BFN more distressing than waiting for my period.

I don't know why I'm posting (usually a lurker), I guess it's just to speak to other women who understand the pain DH and I are going through.

I became an auntie for the first time this year, which is wonderful, but hard emotionally Blush.

jenrendo · 27/11/2011 20:27

Hello Spiritedwolf. Well done for not testing. As you can see from above we tried and tried for a baby and it didn't happen easily. My cycle was never great and when I started using ovulation sticks they told me that I was never ovulationg. Very frustrating. It seemed that while we wre trying all my close friends were getting pregnant and were afraid to tell me in case it upset me. I know how you feel :)

scentednappyhag · 28/11/2011 19:25

Hi all Smile new to the conception board, but this thread is exactly what I need right now!
AF two weeks late, stretchy/pulled muscle feeling in sides of tummy, bit of nausea, spotty cleavage (I know, I'm sexy) and watery vaginal discharge- exactly the symptoms of my first pregnancy- but BFN today :/ argh!

purplepidjin · 28/11/2011 19:35

I'm either two weeks late or a day early, based on my last cycle of 21 days and the previous one of 35!

I tested on day 28 and got a BFN, and now the second test in the pack is calling my name...

jenrendo · 28/11/2011 20:00

Well AF arrived today so now I'm going to actually monitor my cycle so I don't waste dollars on unneccessary tests!

purplepidjin · 28/11/2011 21:01

for jen

jenrendo · 29/11/2011 20:41

Thanks purple. I'm fine. Hope everyone else is? x

purplepidjin · 29/11/2011 20:43

Still BFN and no AF. We're not actually TTC, just careful since I came off the pill for other reasons, so I can only try and empathise with those of you disappointed with your results Sad
