I am going mad,

Cycle 2 and AF due on Wednesday/Thursday/Saturday depending on what chart you go by!!

Anyone got any ideas of how to pass the time whilst waiting to POAS??

Also, anyone else had enflamed nasal passages as a pregnancy symptom??

Madness over and out.......

I'm going mad too...

POAS date 26th May same time I go on hols to France (aka land of delicious unpatsurised cheese and wine). It's only a week, but I'm already hyper vigilant!

(I too have nasal congestion, trying to convince myself it's a cold/hayfever!)

tinypolkadot · 18/05/2013 23:07

hi tiggle I'm waiting to poas on Friday but might cave earlier!

No enflamed nasal passages here, but my eczema seems to have come back with vengeance, on my bum of all places! Sad

I'm with you! AF due next Sunday (same as Becca) and I'm already obsessing about when is the earliest I can test. I got my BFP with DD on Day 25....

Tiggle is your AF due at the end of the week rather than right now? (I got confused as to which Saturday). If its the end of the week then its probably still a bit early. Tuesday would be the earliest you could get your BFP, I reckon. Its agony, isn't it??

attilascupcakes · 19/05/2013 10:36

Oh, and in random symptoms, I am vividly dreaming every night about getting a BFP. That's got to be a symptom, hasn't it? Grin

Beccadugs · 19/05/2013 11:18

I had that dream last night too! I was really sad when I woke up this morning!

I am also having snuffley nose, but so is DH, so think it is probably a cold...

AF also due 26th for me. I'm really going to try to wait until then, or even 27th, before I poas. I have a CB digital test in the cupboard ready and waiting! I have a snuffly nose, but it's definitely part of a full-blown cold for me. No other symptoms at all, but I think symptom spotting a bit of a waste of time as the symptoms are basically all the same as pre-AF symptoms. I am charting, and the chart is definitely tri-phasic but I can't work out whether that really means anything, except that I am ovulating!

caved.......bfn but still early right!!

nipples are on fire today!! tmi

Today's unusual symptom: prickly heat! (Is that even a symptom?!)

I am officially driving myself mad, my poor lower abdomen has never been under such scrutiny!!

measureformeasure · 20/05/2013 22:23

Can I join too? AF due next Tuesday so could technically test tomorrow right? Going to try to resist.

I'm ttc#1 and had mc last month so have everything crossed. Had cramps over the weekend and today have sore, hot boobs so I'm hopeful (and possibly crazy).

Pudgy2011 · 21/05/2013 02:31

Can I join? Due on Monday 27th I think. Have been horrendously ill with some virus the last few days though so feeling pretty shocking.
Every abdominal twinge I wonder if it's implantation but then it's usually followed by another wave of the shits. Awesome.

I tested the day before I was due with DS and it was a very bold positive so I'm hoping the same for this time round. But then we've only been ttc this one for 3 weeks so chance would be a fine thing!

NotSoSuper · 21/05/2013 07:35

It's still early tiggle it's not over till af shows! becca not heard of prickly heat being a symptom could be though fingers crossed.
Sorry for your loss measure and pudgy that sounds horrible Sad hope you feel better soon.
I don't think this is my month stuffy nose has disappeared and although I'm convincing myself I have some symptoms think I'm just imagining them!

NotSoSuper · 21/05/2013 07:43

romann I've never charted before so no idea what tri-phasic means? Would love to know though if you don't mind sharing.

Romann · 21/05/2013 11:59

You have to take your temperature every morning, before you get out of bed, and after you've been continuously asleep for at least 3 hours. It should go up around 0.1oC or 0.2oC after ovulation, and then it's triphasic if there's another sustained jump at implantation. If it plummets, you know AF is about to arrive. The thing about the triphasic part is that apparently you tend to get higher levels of progesterone around a week after ovulation anyway, which makes your temp go up. So a triphasic chart means you're more likely to be pregnant, but it's no guarantee. And if it's not triphasic, it doesn't mean that you're not.

The best thing about it is that it gives you something to indulge your ttc obsession Grin . If you go to fertility friend you can put in your temps and other symptoms and it makes you a pretty graph and tells you how likely it is you are pg etc
