Anyone testing around the 25th?

[Wildwaterfalls]

Looking for company! I'm 1dpo now (I think) and already feeling nauseous.

We're TTC#2, DD1 is 10 months, still bf so some luteal phase issues .

We hit all the right days with dtd I think so fingers crossed.

Anyone else?

Hmmm unlikely but I guess anything is possible! Thanks

argyl - I had pretty strong cramps in my last pregnancy. I was sure af was about to start, so there is still hope!

My sharp cramping pains have subsided this afternoon, but I am terribly bloated (I don't eat carbs so I don't usually bloat).

Oh, and dh and I had another talk, he now wants to test on thursday

Thanks poopy that's good to hear. I wasn't ttc the first time around so I definitely wasn't symptom spotting so it's hard to remember! I have had strange ovarian pains lately. No AF yet, just cramps.

When are you due on?

Argyle I had cramping last time and was sure it was my period on its way!

Argyl - I am due on Thursday.

Ok I have renewed hope! Thx

No longer testing on Thursday as only ovd yesterday later than expected. Ill watch on 25th my birthday sending birthday luck to you all

May I join you guys? I'm due on Wednesday and am watching How To Look Good Naked, a show I'm not really into, and am balling my eyes out over these lovely women taking some big risks (sob) and feeling better about themselves!

We've been ttc for 20 months, two mcs.

Ooh dear, I meant to say I'm crying because of the hormone shift post ovulation.

Hi life!

I was in tears constantly last week too. And I was a complete cow to dh. Feeling slightly better today though. When are you going to test? I am due thur but will probably test tue, I am impatient. Sorry to hear about your mc. My last pregnancy ended that way too, so my head is all over the place at the mo.

Welcome life I hope this month is a lucky one for you! Sorry to hear about your mcs. That's awful.

I still have weird cramps but no sign of AF so anything is still possible. Anyone testing this weekend? Some good news is needed!

Hi poppy and argyle! Poopy, I'm sorry to hear about your mc, it certainly changes the mood when continuing ttc. I have managed not to test the last two months so I'm not sure. Sounds like you're both experiencing hormonal shifts, fingers crossed!

Hi Life, I cry at things like that at the best of times!

I really feel like I'm about to have my period :(

Hi Cupcake, some say those early pg days felt like waiting for af, so who knows. Do you have any other symptoms?

The two times I've been pg my boobs were sore, since my first pg I now get sore boobs every month so that fact that I have them now doesn't count. I'm slightly constipated but that also happens for me in the lead up. I'm a little spotty too, but basically all my symptoms are just commensurate with typical increase in hormones post ovulation. Not long to find out for me, I'm not clockwork but am due Wednesday.

Those pains some of you guys are having. Are they like ovary cramps? Or like womb pinches? I don't have anything this month but in previous times I have, they can be attention grabbing! The time I had a womb pinch it was implantation and by bfp followed soon after so fingers crossed for you guys!

Life I had pinching sharp pains over two days (thur and fri, so day 7 and 8 days past oculation. It was enough to need a lay down at points, tailed off yesterday been a bit crampy on and off.

I am lucky in terms of periods, I never get any cramps before or during, only once in a blue moon if period is heavy. It usually just comes on bang on time with no signs at all leading up to it.

Sorry, the pains were on my left side just above hip bone/pelvic bone

Life - I've had really sore boobs but I get that every month too. I've also felt a bit sicky and tired but I've got an upset tummy at the moment so all tummy aches etc can be attributed to that.

Poopy - those pains sound promising!

Cupcake, I hope so. Obviously, I spent an enormous amount of time googling them!

However, I don't feel like death warmed up like I did at this point the last time, so I am still not sure. Last time my boobs were sore to the point that they would wake me in the night if I turned over. They are not that sore this time, only if I brush against them or when I take my bra off.

I am feeling horribly bloated though and I just feel a bit strange.

I was starving yesterday and friday though, which is unusual as I low carb so I am never ravenous like that.

It would be awful to test tomorrow, wouldn't it? I know it would probably be negative and I would spent the first day of ds school holiday feeling down when I should be enjoying some time with him.

Hi I'm new can I join :) I'm 5 days but crampy AMD back pain , but i did with my son who's 3 , 4 negative test , will test again on a few days time xx

5 days late sorry x

hi im new to can I join. I was due to test tomorrow [22nd] but couldn't wait till then, I tested on thursday and got a BFP.

Hi X! 5 days late, sounds very promising!!
Poopy I would try to resist testing tomorrow if I were you - if you get a negative you still won't know for sure and will be left in limbo.
I've had pretty standard period pains today so feel quite sure AF is on its way. Trying to hold on to the hope that I might be pg still but deep down am pretty sure I'm not. Keep telling myself it's not over till its over though!!

AF is due tomorrow, I really felt like it was going to come yesterday but it didn't and I haven't really had any period pains today. I feel deep down that I'm not too but I think I'll do the test tomorrow just so I know either way.

X - 5 days late is exciting!

Doctor - here's to hoping our bodies are playing tricks on us!

I cracked and did a test this morning... negative

Not due AF til Tue, I have the cheapo tests that give you the % accuracy for day before period due, 2, 3 days before etc. So today, 2 days before, 87% of pregnant women would get a positive. So I think I'm out for this month, but fingers crossed for you all!

Oh Shreddies that's rubbish :( On to the next cycle - hope it's a lucky one for you!
