i am sure i am not pg

but my breasts got sore today. i spotted yesterday - one or two brown drops. my cramps today are twinges and feel different to my normal dull numbing pain.

Gillinthesticks · 13/05/2012 18:42

kickingupquestions it does sound like you're getting pg symptoms, spotting sounds like implantation bleed maybe? Maybe poas in the morning when (if you are pg) hormone levels will be at their highest?

Loving the idea of some testing buddies for Wednesday Everything and Goodyhoo FX for strength in numbers!

Dovebird I had to smile reading your earlier post about having to persuade DH to DTD! My DH was really busy with work in the days before I OV and we had some comedy moments of him saying "we can do it tonight, I'm saving them up for you" and me "Erm it's all about timing and I need them now!!" Aah the romance :)

Still think my symptoms are all in my head .. possibly more tired than usual, possibly feel a bit nauseous here and there (had this really early on with both previous mc) and boobs bit sore/bigger ... but then I have been pigging out this weekend so probably just put on a couple of pounds and feeling a bit nauseous because of pigging out!

Oh well, 3 more sleeps til I get to poas!! :)

KickingUpQuestions · 13/05/2012 18:49

My DH and I have decided to not talk about it. he is just as obsessed as me and just as excited. He is happy to do whatever it takes so i am lucky like that.

i did think implantation yesterday. it was the last day really that would have been a common day to implant.i am not getting my hopes up though.

i could still have AF though. answer self preservation has me waiting for af rather than positive test

everythinghappensforareason · 13/05/2012 20:25

I suppose if u prepare for AF then get BFP it'll be a lovely surprise kicking - does all sound so positive for you :o

gillin i hope my tests ive ordered are here for Wednesday, if not i might have too nip the chemist, FX for us all :)

KickingUpQuestions · 14/05/2012 07:48

Still no AF
Still BFN

Had some tweaks and cramps last night. I never cramp before i am due.

Still kind of thinking in imagination land that i would have implanted on Friday if at all

redstrawberry · 14/05/2012 08:20

hi everyone - some familiar faces here from the June BFP thread.
I have been lurking on this one but not posted yet as I have no clue whether I ovulated this month or not - not using OPKs or BBT, just monitoring CM - which was watery this month but no EWCM.

Regular cycles and 2 weeks till AF due. Had some minor OV symptoms late night on CD17, which makes me 2DPO today.

This morning minor nausea, mild cramps and feeling very tired. Not getting hopeful, DH and I are trying hard not to get excited.

Kicking good to see you here.... and keeping my fx for you :) The waiting game is hard.

KickingUpQuestions · 14/05/2012 08:29

good luck to you too :)

my waiting ended yesterday. chance of negative on result the day after af is due is small. not pg utter then something is wrong :(

KickingUpQuestions · 14/05/2012 08:37

should say not pregnant but then something else is wrong

redstrawberry · 14/05/2012 08:56

How many days late are you kicking? I remember you had regular cycles so it is odd maybe this one might take some time to turn into a BFP?

redstrawberry · 14/05/2012 09:03

I read some can be two weeks late with BFNs before they get a faint positive line... so still keeping my fx for you kicking x

KickingUpQuestions · 14/05/2012 09:05

I should have come on yesterday. I have never been late - even my DH said the only time I was late when when we had anovulatory cycle (chemical pg??) in December and was late by 10 days. I have been one day early once.

But that said, how often do you get negative the day after AF is due?

I am very disappointed and DH looked crushed this morning when the test was negative. I feel like I have imagined everything. My boobs seem bigger and yesterday they got sore. I mean - the science behind it is that the progesterone post ovulation grows until 10dpo (that explains any tender breasts initially). If there is a fertilised egg, the progesterone keeps increasing and that accounts for increasing breast sensitivity. If no fertilised egg, progesterone drops off. So WHY - 13dpo, would my breasts suddenly get sore??

I thought I might have implanted on Saturday - I had spotting and cramping. Even last night had some on and off cramping. Nothing like the dull ache that just increases in intensity.

Disappointed really. Feel like I am just letting myself and my DH down and I don't know how to fix it?

KickingUpQuestions · 14/05/2012 09:21

Ok so I read this:

How early can pregnancy be detected depends on the pregnancy hormone hcG which can be detected in the blood about three to four days after implantation. Urine hCG can be detected about two to three days after blood hCG can first be seen. Detection of hCG depends on timing of implantation, so hCG can normally be detected in the blood between nine and 16 days after ovulation (HPT: 12-19 days after ovulation).

So if I implanted on Saturday, it would take a minimum of three days to show up in a blood test and then two days after that to show up in a urine test.

I will know by Thursday. Unless AF arrives

redstrawberry · 14/05/2012 09:40

Maybe HcG is still too low to be detected. You seem to have all the symptoms and a lot of people do get BFPs a little later than a day after AF is due.

To give you some hope I found this www.mumsnet.com/Talk/conception/842298-Late-period-although-test-saying-BFN/AllOnOnePage

Lots of luck for Thursday x

KickingUpQuestions · 14/05/2012 09:50

HA HA red. Like I am going to wait until Thursday. Pfffft

It's not over until it's over, red rover - right?!

Positive thinking. I am sure I implanted on Satuday. C'MON LITTLE EGGIE

everythinghappensforareason · 14/05/2012 10:58

Aww kicking im so hoping u get ure BFP soon :) I think u maybe just implanted later + thats why, im hoping this is the case for u :)

AF due for me in 4-5 days, i feel crampy today + very AF'y :( haha!

I just want too no either way now so i can dtd through next month.
Ive used all my internet cheapys. im 9DPO, had a few evap lines but otherwise nothing, ive seen people on youtube get really clear BFP's at this point, even on digitals, so i'm guessing im out! but we will see:)....

OP posts:
KickingUpQuestions · 14/05/2012 11:04

Well I thought I implanted on Saturday.

Also - realised that I had AF on:

23 January
21 February
19 March
15 April

So maybe I am actually due tomorrow?? If we assume that OV occurred a day or two later (we DTD a lot over that time so I am not worried). AF would be a bit later. Implantation would occur at a more "acceptable" time (not the day before my AF but rather, 3 days before AF).

It still wouldn't cross out potential pg. AND am only MARGINALLY clutching at straws... :D

KickingUpQuestions · 14/05/2012 11:04

everything - I wouldn't assume you are due AF if its 4-5 days away. Or is this a normal course for you?

everythinghappensforareason · 14/05/2012 11:22

last two cycles have been 24 and 25days. i feel very crampy, and sorry for tmi, but uno when ure on, and it kinda "flows" out haha, im getting cm like this, i usually get this before AF,without the cramps though, and usually a day or two before. im not feeling positive any more!

But i did see ur post about us forgetting about implantation, and thats so true, i found a predictor, and mine said between 11th-15th, today is 14th so the only hope im holding onto is maybe im experiencing implantation? :)

OP posts:
KickingUpQuestions · 14/05/2012 11:25

Oooh it could likely be implantation! Watch yer knickers!!! :D

Explain the CM bit? You normally get an increase in CM before AF?
They say that you should "dry" up before AF?

everythinghappensforareason · 14/05/2012 11:38

Yes well last month i noticed it and got a bit exited then AF came, so im guessing this always happens i just noticed last month because i was symptom spotting. its quite watery at the mo! x

OP posts:
KickingUpQuestions · 14/05/2012 11:45

Yeh there doesn't seem to be any foolproof method to check.

My breasts are just getting more and more sore. My tummy twinges are still coming and going.

My DH said I need to stop analysing because I'm driving myself insane

QueenOfTheRodeo · 14/05/2012 12:00

Hi ladies, sorry to hear you're both in limbo at the mo and fx all the symptoms are pg related!

I think I'm out for the month - af isn't due until tomorrow but I'm getting cramping and (tmi sorry) had a very small amount of blood on the tissue when I wiped this morning. So fully expecting af to make an appearance today. I'm gutted as really thought I had all the right symptoms this month. DH says we'll just try again next month but that just seems so long away at the moment!

redstrawberry · 14/05/2012 13:08

Grin you are starting to sound more positive kicking

My DH does not even want to hear the symptoms - he knows i am insanely obsessed. My implantation (if I predicted OV correctly) should happen between 18th - 22nd. Although my normally reliable CM has completely deceived me this cycle so not sure what is going on.

I have been on CM forums all night yesterday and apparently not most get EWCM but still have BFPs so I am hoping I am in that bracket.

Expecting to go into symptom spotting overdrive by the weekend to coincide with implantation. May has never felt so long!

Gutted for you rodeo Sad

KickingUpQuestions · 14/05/2012 13:35

Thinking AF may make appearance today.

So must book doctors appointment to figure out why am thirsty.

CM forums?

redstrawberry · 14/05/2012 14:00

ooooo isn't being thirsty another early pg symptom?

sorry not CM forums, but CM threads - there are lots of them on mumsnet detailing what EWCM should look like and when.
