I had cramps at 5dpo as well Ava1985 we shall see! I'm hoping for a full thread of BFPs... Hey, it could happen!

Ratata · 01/07/2012 22:35

Right I feel nauseous and I have heartburn and constipation (constipation is not normal for me). I have now decided that I'm pregnant. Obviously have to wait to know for sure but I just feel it. Maybe if I tell my body enough it will magically be pregnant?! Haha.

Ratata how many dpo are you now? I wondered if it could be implantation cramps but apparently its too early for that at 5dpo.. I am 6dpo and just having the usual symptoms coming upto AF from today. But yes heres hoping for those BFP's all round lets make it a record lol

Also just a quick one and maybe totally off subject to this thread but... Do any of you feel a little nervous about testing too early incase it turns to be a chem pregnancy? Iv never experienced one but it seems they are very common.. Just put me in two minds as to when to test!

Christelle2207 · 01/07/2012 22:52

Yes. However I think I had a cp a few months back- I didn't test as I was on hols and was going to test when I got home which would have been 9days late- but got a horrible AF on the plane home!! Looking back I had all kinds of symptoms and I'm now almost convinced that I was pg. as upsetting as it would have been to know it at the time though I almost wish I had had a BFP so I would at least have known for sure that I can conceive.
This cycle the plan is to wait until overdue - I am due thurs or fri so plan is to test on sat id no AF. But of course I may crack before then!

Ratata · 01/07/2012 22:57

I'm 8 or 9dpo. I'm unsure of my cycle really so going on estimation. The mmc threw my cycle out of whack.

I'm nervous about everything. I was terrified when I was pregnant before about having a mmc and then I had one. It was heartbreaking but I guess you just deal with it at the time. Let's hope for BFPs and healthy pregnancies Smile

Ratata sorry to ask but what does mmc mean? I assume it means a miscarriage..? If so I am so sorry to hear that :( I hope the nxt pregnancy is a healthy one for you. I remember that going through my head last time too and im sure it will again next time its a natural fear I guess :( I really want to wait until 12dpo to test but I know im gonna crack at 10! (with internet cheapies) tempted to buy a first respone at 12DPO though!! Agh! Im just going to have to not try nxt month cos this is driving me nuts already!!

OP posts:
Ratata · 01/07/2012 23:28

It means missed miscarriage. I thought I was 9 weeks pregnant, went for an early private scan all excited and watched the screen to see my baby. Only there was nothing there. I measured 5 weeks. An internal scan a week later confirmed that there was a yolk sac and nothing else. I started bleeding a few days later and lost it. It was awful but yeah, just had to deal with it. It was what I dreaded. Just gotta keep on going though.

I already cracked with a first response knowing its far too early!! Got my Internet cheapies for the week. May as well test each morning just in case. I'm impatient lol.

Right there with you in the driving us nuts part!!!

WhenSheWasBadSheWasHorrid · 02/07/2012 08:52

ratata so sorry about your mmc, it must have been heart wrenching. Do you mind if I ask if you had strong pregnancy symptoms during that pregnancy?

Am not surprised you got a bfn, it is far too early to test. Fx for you

Idratherbe · 02/07/2012 11:49

I'm not sure if I'm testing next week but I'll definitely be knicker checking so can I join you? I'm on day 22 of a 30 day cycle, using CBFM so i know i OV'd on day 15. A bit of back story - I have 1 DS who is 2 and had a MC at 8 weeks in December. We've been trying since with zero luck - this month is our first with the shag dictator so I'm quietly hopeful. I sham't be testing until I'm very late as (a) I can't face another negative and (b) I'll be on holiday next week without readily available tests. That's my plan anyway!

Symptoms that are different this month? Sharp stabbing pain in right ovary 2 days ago and random cramps in the same area on and off since, dizzy spell last night.

Don't the days just crawl by?!

WhenSheWasBadSheWasHorrid · 02/07/2012 12:42

Grin shag dictator

Sorry for your loss in Dec. That CBFM gets amazing reviews on amazon. Hope it works for you.

seatfor5 · 02/07/2012 13:03

So this morning I have stocked up on Superdrug tests and a first response oh and Ocado are bring me a CB Dig lol! I know I shouldn't but have decided to test everyday until AF arrives/Is due! John is very adamant that we are not trying for another baby as we have 3 DS's but I would love one more so wish me luck :) If AF shows up I have to get the coil fitted :(

Ratata So sorry for your loss good luck this cycle x

Welcome idratherbe :)

Ratata - I am so sorry to hear you had to go through that :( It's heartbreaking :( I pray we all have healthy pregnancies when our time comes! (hopefully sooner rather than later lol) I am now 7dpo and temp has risen again :) But I had a bad morning this morning and got stressed and down for no apparent reason, which ALWAYS happens a week before AF! so im now feeling very negative about this cycle :( Can you get mood swings as a preg symptom?! lol

seatfor5 - Iv been debating with myself whether to buy just ONE first response test but now reading what you have bought I now don't feel so bad about buying it lol! Good luck hope one if not ALL of them are positive for you :)

Ratata · 02/07/2012 16:59

Thanks for the condolences all. It was a hard thing to go through but I just try to tell myself that I'm glad I know I can get pregnant. And I honestly think I'm pregnant again now, I will be shocked if I'm not. I feel the same kind of symptoms, only earlier than last time. I felt so queasy this morning and absolutely shattered. Fingers crossed!

WhenSheWasBadSheWasHorrid I only had very mild pregnancy symptoms last time. I would feel a bit ill, slightly sore boobs and a craving for Vegemite. Plus some vivid dreams. Some slight pains in my lower abdomen. It was all very mild. Although my SIL had no symptoms at all throughout her pregnancy. The missed period, bump and kicking was all she had!

IdRatherBe sorry to hear about your MC xx I agree the days just seem to crawl don't they!!

seatfor5 good luck this cycle, I hope you get the 4th DC that you want Smile

Ava1985 I believe mood swings are a sign of pregnancy, so you never know! Not over til the witch is out and about.

photochick · 02/07/2012 21:14

On the 2ww (AF due 11th July if on time). Symptom spotting like crazy but still not sure! Headache tonight (v rare for me to have a headche) and feeling sick. Pregnancy or just coincidence??
I did order some ptks just in case at the weekend just in case :)

Idratherbe · 02/07/2012 21:18

Thanks for the welcome ladies. I am a shining paragon of virtue, having no tests in the house Grin. There is a reason for this though - I've now had 2 months where I've peed on FRERs only for period to arrive seconds later. I will mostly be sitting on my hands this weekend!

Ratata - I'm so sorry for your MMC and I really hope this is your month. I had a natural MC and fortunately everything happened very simply over the course of a few days, I can't imagine the miserable time you must have had.

Today's symptoms update - low backache, extraordinarily tired (but then it is monday and DS did wake me up at 2...) and an afternoon headache. Just recording this for next month so I can tell the future me off for stupid symptom spotting at the relevant time!

Ratata · 03/07/2012 16:32

Holy balls is what I thought when I saw my pregnancy test this morning. BFP!!!!!!!!!!!! I think I'm 10 or 11dpo. Faint line but as they say, a line is a line! A little spotting today so I'm taking it easy at the mo. I really felt I was pregnant so I'm glad I'm right!

IdRatherBe thank you, it was a tough time. Sorry for your MC too Sad I hope all your symptoms lead to you being pg Smile

Idratherbe · 03/07/2012 20:38

Woah, that's AMAZING ratata, I'm delighted for you! It's so good to know that you were right about simply feeling pregnant. Congratulations Grin

Christelle2207 · 03/07/2012 20:44

Wow that's brilliant news!!!! Is dp thrilled too?

Not too hopeful this end, some very slightly pink discharge this eve. Have had similar before AF before, though this time definitely paler. 8dpo.

WhenSheWasBadSheWasHorrid · 03/07/2012 20:49

ratata wow BFP, I am so pleased for you, a faint line at 11 DPO is amazing news, I would have said too early to test. Congratulations again.

Idrather hope the pregnancy symptoms turn into something positive. The tiredness sounds good.

Photochick my af is due on 13th not superstitious but not optimistic about Friday 13th I know what you mean about symptom spotting, I keep doing it even though I know it is too early for symptoms.

Ratata · 03/07/2012 21:13

Thanks all!! DH is over the moon. He was still sleeping so I cuddled into him and whispered that there was a faint line and his tired face smiled. Then I had to leave for work, he gets up after me.

I thought 11dpo would be too early as well but it seems not Grin it was an Internet cheapy and it came up within 30seconds.

Hoping this one makes it this time Smile

seatfor5 · 04/07/2012 11:25

Anymore testing? I think AF is on her way as I have had a pinky discharge this morning and it must be to late for an implant bleed I am sure as I am due on on Saturday :( Hayho I am blessed with 3 lovely boys so I cant really complain! good luck to everyone else x

Ratata · 04/07/2012 16:06

I don't think I'm pregnant anymore Sad BFN today and constant spotting. I think it's a chemical pregnancy. I will keep you updated.

seatfor5 · 04/07/2012 18:31

:( oh no Ratata I hope it sticks x no more bleeding for me and just thick mucus which I dont know if thats good of back?

Ava1985 · 04/07/2012 19:43

First Response test at what I think is now 11DPO... BFP!!! I can't believe it! Very faint line on an internet cheapie to begin with this morning so then I went out for the first response to confirm it! Still don't think its sunk in...! Going to do a digital one in a weeks time and then get doc appt if all goes to plan :))

Ratata - I'm so sorry to hear that your spotting and got a BFN :( This is what I was concerned about with testing early but I just suddenly had the urge to test. I hope nxt cycle is your cycle. Would you wait longer before testing next time? I think if anything happens to this one (touch wood it doesn't) I would want to wait until a missed period XX
