Hi girls.

Due AF Thursday and have convinced myself I am pregnant. Only problem is that m pregnancy signs are al so my pms signs.

Dtd 15th July, think I ovulated the 17th and on 23RD i got a really bad pain in my lower belly. have 32 day cycle

Feeling bloated, tender boobs and a bit gassy but this is the norm when AF is due. The only difference is the utter tiredness I have experienced for the past week and I have also developed thrush which has been tinged a little pink and peeing a lot more.

Am cracking up here as I tested Friday and a bfn which i expected nearl 7 days before af and am refusing to test again until wednesday or thursday.

Just venting really. Have I a chance or I have i convinced myself my symptoms ar epregnancy related. DH has been taking the pi** out of me and my 101 symtoms. Men!!!

Ah it's so hard to tell, isn't it?
I'm constantly noticing minor sometimes imaginary symptoms. I bet most of the things I notice now always affected me at some point but I wasn't paying attention before.
It would be so great if our abdomem would glow green or red for a day after Ov so we knew straight away one way or the other Grin
although I quite enjoy all the symptom spotting

I know the frustration! I am on day 34 of my cycle and still waiting for my period, but have done three tests in the last week and all were negative. However, I had cramps around the time you would expect implantation cramps, and have had really sore/tingly boobs, which still feel funny. I'm now feeling totally constipated and have done for a week, which I remember from when I was pregnant with DD, and is unusual for me.

Back then I remember thinking "Oh, I can't be pregnant, I'm getting cramps, sore boobs etc" before I actually realised I was.

So frustrating all the symptons are the same, eh?!

Well I think I am out. DH says he can smell my period coming. charming!! I told him it might be the thrush me hoping against hope. Beast of luck to you ladies.

Aww I know how you feel Hun last month totally convinced my self I was pregnant had AF pain but double the pain and was soooooo gassy lol (sorry) then AF came and made me cry. Part of me thinks it was all in my head as I want a baby so bad. I'm ovulating today my poor hubby is shattered lol lets hope I'm pregnant this month for his sake lol

I took about 6 tests one of the, was a few days after peirod as I convinced my self I was spotting as AF came 5 days early. Mother Nature is very cruel lol I hope you get a BFP

ok girls my hunch was right. tested this am and got negative. went to work and came home 6 hours later and saw faint pink line. Got dh to get another test and nearly dropped when it turned positive this evening. I am 1-2 weeks and very unsure and worried as I am 41 and am only thinking of the negatives. How are ye getting on.

Wow, that's grest news! What day of your cycle are you on?

I've just started a new thread. Tested again this evening (day 37) but was a definite negative again. I'd still put money on it though! Or maybe I'm just mad.

booisgreat · 31/07/2013 20:52

booisgreat · 31/07/2013 22:17

go with our gut. I always have done in ever aspect of life. my dd was ill but no consultant would listen to me but my instinct ept me going an I was proved right. Yes ou can imagin symtoms but until AF shows there is always hope. Everything i read on the internet today told
me my line on the hpt after 7 hours was an evaporation line but something told me to get dh to get anothr test. I am 1-2 weeks. However I had late period which was 9 days late in April and i put it down to ealry start of menopause or stress as i knew i could not have been pregnant. sending you loads and loads of babdust..

aww thanku! well ive tried another 2 clear blue tests, one def negative, one with morning pee this morning negative, but when left for a couple of hours there was a slight line starting.....prob just wishful thinking. 8 days late and have a docs appointment in 2 weeks time, couldnt give me one sooner grrr!! at least will give me time for either my period to rear its ugly appearance or have a good chance im pregnant.

been constipated for a week and v unusual for me...and cramping for about a week n a half........

congratulations booisgreat, thats lovely news :) xx

theborrower · 03/08/2013 11:09

Positivementakattitude · 06/08/2013 17:36

I'm cramping 😒could be period coming hoping not also have heartburn so fingers crossed. Dtd almost every day last month once bleeding stopped but who knows

Waiting game the worst have already done 3 HPT not doing another now until a week over due p just a waiting game now feel all your pain believe me let's hope all get a bfp soon

And congrats too all who do have one prayers all goes well 😀so cruel to women that would kill for bundles of joy xx
