Am I/aren't I?

I used to naively think it would be easy to know if you're pregnant or not; miss a period, pee on a stick, get your answer. Turns out, not so easy after all!
So I need your collective wisdom MNers.

I'm 3-4 days late for AF based my normal 29-30 cycle and have a regular, relatively predictable cycle normally. My nipples have been really sore the last few days, to the point where every time I turned in bed it felt somebody had twanged them, with one more so than the other. I also feel sick as a dog, but not actually being sick. Yesterday I noticed I had some white CM, and this morning it had increased. I don't normally have much before AF until a couple of hours when it is tinged with pink. It's all white this time.

I have POAS, but got a negative result. But reading around on MN it seems some people do get a negative result for a couple of weeks.

So what do ya reckon ladies? Am I or aren't I?

I felt like that this month but unfortunately got AF. I put it down to my body still adjusting from coming of the pill. (came off in May)

Hope yours is the opposite though, keep us posted xx

Good luck next time keepswimming.

I've been off contraception nearly 2 years, didn't like the way it made me feel and been regular after the first few months off it so don't think it's that

well that does sound promising - I will keep my fingers crossed for you x

SuddenlySqueamish · 05/08/2013 20:42

Thanks ks1 :)

New 'symptoms' to add to the list, I am ravenously and insatiably (or so it seems) hungry today and I have been peeing more than usual. Also the amount of white CM has increased.

I'm symptom spotting aren't I?! Can you tell it's my first go at this?!

I'm feeling kinda similar, OP, though AF isn't due till today/tomorrow for me. My Day 21 progesterone level was low though so I'm unlikely to be pg, and I have all the symptoms you describe. I hope it's a BFP for you - when I was first pg, I was 6wks (so 2wks late for AF) when I tested +ve, so it's possible Smile. Good luck!

SuddenlySqueamish · 06/08/2013 12:40

Thanks RaRaZ.

Cramps and bloating today but still no sign of AF, trying to hold off testing again before I bankrupt myself in constant buying tests!

Good luck to you too :)

Same here lol - been told I should go get First Response, but I don't want to waste the money when it's so unlikely!

KittyKK · 06/08/2013 15:49

RaRaZ - if you are dong IC tests make sure you keep them for at least 10 mins! Today was my 3rd IC in 3 days....

Just got my BFP today (10/11 DPO). Took 10 mins for the 2nd line to show and I very nearly put it in the bin after 2 mins as it only showed the "test" lineage I thought it was negative.

Saved the CB Digital to confirm what the IC told me Smile

Good luck with the testing x

KittyKK · 06/08/2013 15:51

....also meant to address that response to OP! Good luck suddenlysqueamish!

RaRaZ · 06/08/2013 16:11

IC????

SuddenlySqueamish · 07/08/2013 10:28

I think IC means internet cheapies. It's basically just the testing paper without the plastic bit that a normal pregnancy test has.

Thanks KittyKK, and mega congrats on the BFP! Hope all goes well.

Still no AF but another test first thing this morning was BFN. But checked my dates and if I am pregnant I could only have conceived the day after ovulation as we were camping before and we didn't DTD then, there's nothing sexy about sleeping in jogging bottoms tucked in socks! I get cold!

Yes, Internet Cheapie. Lol....maybe I'm making up my own TTC acronyms now Wink

SuddenlySqueamish · 07/08/2013 19:12

I just bought a load of ICs from Amazon so obviously AF is going to show up now...

OP posts:
SuddenlySqueamish · 08/08/2013 10:59

Still BFN, week late now and definitely having some kind of hormonal surge, EVERYTHING is making me cry today. Waiting for my ICs to arrive before testing again though, another BFN will definitely reduce me to tears!

I'm in the same dilema. I'll be 2weeks late tomorrow and duno if I'm pregnant or not. Have loads of symptoms but this will only be my second cycle after coming off the pill so part of me thinks its just my body adjusting Sad

SuddenlySqueamish · 08/08/2013 13:48

The pill does throw things out of sync and it can take a while for it to steady out. After I came off the injection it was a year before I had regular, predictable cycles. I don't think it's quite so bad for the pill though. I hope you get your answer soon. Good luck
