I have had every single conceivable "early" pregnancy symptom

  • CM increase
  • No breast tenderness until 12dpo
  • Extreme thirst
  • Increased sense of smell
  • Aversion to certain foods
  • "Swelling" inside
  • Bloating / gas
  • Ovulation spotting / EWCM
  • Exhaustion
  • Sore joints
  • Dull cramps / pressure on lower body
  • Increased urination
  • Acne on chest and back
  • Fuller breasts in last 2 or 3 days
  • Implantation spotting - with cramps and pressure
  • Cramping for three of the last three days

And I think I am starting AF today

Hi ladies how are we all doing today?

Kicking Have you started AF yet?

Not really any change here other than back sore with AF type cramps on and off today :( Will need to wait and see what Wednesday brings although not holding out much hope now!

KickingUpQuestions · 14/05/2012 18:25

not started af but had bfn today.

do you normally cramp days before?!!!

Happilymarried155 · 14/05/2012 18:40

Hi everyone!
I'm waiting until Friday to test, don't know how!! Not sure if u have any 'symptoms' have a sort of dull ache in my lower tummy and boobs feel so heavy-have never noticed this before but we will see. I will not test before Friday, this is the first month I'm going to have willpower!

Sorry your still in limbo kicking..how late are you now? Do you know when you definitely ovulated? X

KickingUpQuestions · 14/05/2012 19:10

i did a clear blue and dh and i can see a shadow of a line. it doesn't look like its there its that faint

dh said it looks like its white as well

opinions?

KickingUpQuestions · 14/05/2012 19:12

does anyone else squint and hold it under a light and look for something barely there?

PickledFanjoCat · 14/05/2012 20:08

I have just leaned out of my bathroom window with an Internet Cheapie if it makes you feel better. Im in the same boat, CD 37 no BFP. Annoying!

I have only used internet cheapies and am toying with the idea of cracking open my only FRER although its a total waste!

KickingUpQuestions · 14/05/2012 20:12

why is it a waste? how late are you now?

why not do it in the morning?

PickledFanjoCat · 14/05/2012 20:13

Well I would have thought I would have at least have had a ghost of a line on an internet cheapie by now if I was pregnant. Its my rules, I am only allowed an expensive one if I can see even the tiniest of pretend lines on the internet cheapies!

How is your line coming on?

PickledFanjoCat · 14/05/2012 20:14

I am 2 days late but I ovulated late as well so its a bit iffy! Are you late now?

KickingUpQuestions · 14/05/2012 20:17

i normally bin it before giving it to my husband. he properly inspects it

tonight is the first time we both saw a white almost not there shadow line

we aren't talking about it or celebrating anything. we had a nasty experience in December

QueenOfTheRodeo · 14/05/2012 20:21

kicking if you think you might have seen a line earlier then test again in the morning if still no af? Keeping everything crossed for you.

I've got more cramping and a bit more blood when I go to the loo so I'm now sure that I'm definitely out for this month, fully expecting af to be here properly tomorrow.

pickled fx for you too.

KickingUpQuestions · 14/05/2012 20:22

i am the same!! i ovulate on 1 may. i had slight cramps and ovulation spotting. then i had cramping Saturday and yesterday and a couple drops on sat. cramps last night in bed

then nothing today

are you normally in tune with your body?

i thought i had had a bunch of pg symptoms but i don't believe them anyway anymore

KickingUpQuestions · 14/05/2012 20:26

queen - if i am right about implantation, it would take 5 days from then to show up in a urine test.

will do it first thing in the morning until Thursday if no AF . then will go to the doc

i guess its what everyone says right before getting AF?

QueenOfTheRodeo · 14/05/2012 20:39

I ovulated 1st May too kicking - I was CONVINCED we'd finally cracked it this month as I've had many of the same symptoms that you have described. I checked an implantation predictor chart too and think it will have been around Friday that I would have implanted if I was pregnant based on my usual cycle length etc, surely today (the day before af is due) would be too late for me to be implanting so I'm sure that the spotting I'm having today is the start of af.

I hope that your lack of af means that you're pregnant but that its still just too early to show up on an HPT.

I'm starting to wonder whether I actually had any of those symptoms at all or whether I just imagined them all?! ttc is driving me crazy!

PickledFanjoCat · 14/05/2012 20:41

Oh if you both saw it thats promising isnt it?

It does take some people longer than others, I spoke to a lady the other day who had to wait a week and a half before a positive test.

Im pretty sure I ovulated on 30th April or 1at May as well, had a positive OPK on the 29th.

I was convinced I was pregnant last month, so its made be doubt myself. I had no symptoms at all with my first apart from hot boobs. I think my boobs are hot. Argh!

When do you think you implanted?

KickingUpQuestions · 14/05/2012 20:50

my breasts are just getting more tender and i was due yesterday. i find it strange that the tenderness started on Saturday. since when does breast tenderness occur after AF is due?!!

if i am not imaging things - think i implanted on Saturday. i don't ever get pre AF cramps. AF starts and two hours later, the pain starts

any other symptoms ladies?

is this all out first attempt at reproducing or door you have kids?

KickingUpQuestions · 14/05/2012 20:55

i know what you mean about ttc driving you crazy.

my raging thirst is abating a bit. i still drink a lot but its not as bad as it was...

i told my husband i had AF so he wouldn't worry but then i imagined that white line on my test and told him i lied

KickingUpQuestions · 14/05/2012 20:56

pickled - when are you due?

my phone isn't the best at this stuff

QueenOfTheRodeo · 14/05/2012 21:00

I don't have kids yet but have been pregnant once before which unfortunately ended at 9 weeks. That was quite a long time ago though and it wasn't planned so I can't remember whether I had any symptoms before af should have been due! However once I found out I remember having really sore boobs and a raging hunger, then started getting nausea & sickness at about 5-6 weeks. DH & I have only been properly trying for a few months, although we stopped using contraception after we got married last summer to 'see what happened'. Nothing did happen though so we've been taking it a lot more seriously these last couple of months! Its frustrating though that I got pregnant seemingly easily when we weren't trying and now that we are nothing is happening!

Just an idea, if still no af by Thursday maybe ask the doc for a blood test?

KickingUpQuestions · 14/05/2012 21:06

hey random!! when did you get married?!

and how old are you guys?

we got married in November and started trying fairly soon before we get married.

we started planning three months before that as well.

my dh is sure we had a chemical pg in December. 10 days late. then when AF arrived i was very sore. so we are being cautious this time

KickingUpQuestions · 14/05/2012 21:10

sorry about your mc. that sucks :(

i will go for blood tests on Thursday if nothing happens. but i know if i don't get a positive by Thursday, i probably just have a hormone imbalance :(

KickingUpQuestions · 14/05/2012 21:13

but ow my breasts are just getting more sore!! they hurt now without a bra and without touching them. i don't think i have ever had this sore before

QueenOfTheRodeo · 14/05/2012 21:13

We got married in August, I'm 27 & he's 32. What about you?

Sorry to hear about chemical pg, I can understand why you want to be cautious this time around. Its strange how attached you get in such a short time isn't it? Although my pg wasn't planned it was still awful when it ended. I had told everyone too and I hated having to tell them all it was over. This time around I am going to be more cautious myself and wait until after first scan before I tell many people.

PickledFanjoCat · 14/05/2012 21:17

I would have thought yesterday, I have had two 33 day cycles (which I thought was normal) a 35 one last month, and this month I had a positive OPK one day later then the month before, so I would have thought yesterday. Im on CD 37 now.

queen from my obsessive trawling of google research the urine tests at the doctors are not really any more sensitive than ones you can do at home. See what happens today and if no AF I guess test tomorrow.

Looks like we all ovulated on the same day!

Ive been tempted tp take Angus Castus as its supposed to regulate your periods, but ive read a lot of people saying you should see a herbalist first, so Im not sure.
