This is it for us all :-)

I was feeling a bit confident yesterday that we were in with a chance but I have woken up to much more recognisable pains. I think AF is on her way and I hate her!!

lets I've had mild to bad abdominal menstrual like cramps since Saturday morning. Again I only had 3hrs sleep last night because it's keeping me awake. I had to call in sick today which I hate doing (especially at this early stage) but it would be dangerous for me to drive feeling like this. Can't wait to see the doctor tomorrow!

Aww Dulcet :( Don't want to get your hopes up hun but cramping seems to be high up on the list as a first sign! Weird that I didn't read about it before. You mostly read about tingling boobs and vomiting!

Thanks pear. I won't give up hope just yet. The cramps yesterday didn't feel like normal, they were a bit numb as opposed to sharp so I was walking around thinking 'this could be it!' but today they are more sharp like I am used to so just not so sure. Will find out soon enough though! App says 0 days left but I think it counts wrong as tomorrow would be CD26 and I am between 26-28 days so far.

I don't want to be at work!

Are you going to test soon dulcet or will you wait it out?

Well I didn't get my smiley until 1st Sept so I was waiting until 15th to be 14dpo but I now have a testing date with nic on Weds! haha.

Not long at all then. Two days a go-go! Fx

Wow! I have a busy weekend away from the computer and I come back to finding you all with BFP's! - amazing, that gives me hope for this weekend then, 1ww - HURRY UP!

Congratulations to all the BFP's so jellous!

Hello all! Blimey I go away for a week and three BFP's! Huge congratulations Pumykins, Peardrop and MissMedusa

AF due on the 18th. I am definitely booking in to see the Dr if nothing happens this month (this is cycle 8). Bah humbug.

Loads of luck Dulcet - hopefully the name change has done the trick!

Boo for the end of the olympics... X

Wow, I can't believe I've missed BFPs. Peardrop, you must be so happy :))

My random mic-cycle discharge seems to have eased off, but I have an appointment next Monday with a specialist. I was getting terrible pain that felt like ovulation last week, then it went, and now it's back, but more like a dull ache. I'm panicking that it could be a cyst, because I was pretty sure I ovulated around CD8 judging by EWCM, etc. (early in my cycle) and you can't ovulate 3 times in a month!!

CD23 today so will probably have AF by next week's appointment which limits the examinations they can do...oh well. I think I just want someone to tell me it's nothing super-serious that will impact my fertility.

I'm currently in the waiting room waiting for an emergency appt with doctor. I've had 5hrs sleep in the last 48hrs and I'm sick with worry that the pains are constant. Luckily it will be the same doctor who should be seeing me for the scan tomorrow. I completely flipped out over the pain 2hrs ago so I decided enough was enough. Didn't help that I started reading about cramps and ectopic pregnancies :( Wish me luck ladies!

My weird cramps from yesterday have gone...none now :-/

Not optimistic for my date with Dulcet. :-(

Shit...sorry I missed your post, Peardrop. Good luck. xx

Oh God pear, how stressful. You are in the right place if you are worried though. Have they said how long you will have to wait?

I know nic, me either. If its going to come though, it might as well come. I have stopped feeling anything now. On knickerwatch though!

I don't want it to come before I've had at least a ten day luteal phase though! Thursday at earliest!

Ok, thats true. Give ourselves a fighting chance. What is the deal if you do have short luteal phases? Is there something that can fix that?

I waited near to an hour but it was worth it. I had to see a man doctor in the end but he was ok. He poked and prodded and says I have chronic constipation caused by the progesterone rising. He's given me a very big bottle of liquid which should help solve things. I feel stupid for crying over constipation but it really was bad...honest! He's told me to still go to the scan tomorrow and I will then hopefully see the sac in the right place! Sorry I know this is post is going to sound so trivial to what you are all going through but thought I'd better update!

What a relief though pear! And you'll feel better tomorrow after the scan. Don't feel stupid, you have to look after yourself and baby pear!

Pear - it doesn't sound stupid!! I'm glad you're ok!! It can be scary feeling unwell, but I think when u want a pregnancy so badly & then u get it, that it can make u worry when you're feeling unwell that something might be wrong. Fx that it's all sorted, good luck for 2moro.

Im cycle day 6 now, so I'm aiming for a BFP end if Sept, begining of Oct!!

Thanks Raspberries and Dulcet! Appreciate your concern x

oh pear, glad you went to the doctors in the end, at least now you can relax a bit - hopefully you will sleep better tonight, and will be able to talk to the doctor again tomorrow.

Oh I'm glad you are okay Pear, that must have been v. stressful. Fingers crossed you start to feel better and good luck for tomorrow

PS. How many slices of a chocolate orange is too many in one day? I found one left over from Christmas (still in date!) and have just polished off three slices in 10 mins... my healthy eating plan is going well

It's orange, it's one of your five a day. You should eat it all really.

Just got 2 BFP's this morning but I am really scared as I have heard that many stories on here about "chemical pregnancies" sorry to be ignorant, but what is one of those and also what do people mean when they say they hope your BFP sticks? Sorry for the ignorance, just was really excited about BFP then suddenly I have this horribl doubt in my mind..
