Feeling hopeful! Anyone else due their AF around the same time?

I've been drinking orange juice for the last three days despite hating it and not touching it for years. Sign, or just my vitamin lacking body crying out of it?? Haha

Hi my AF due 30th. Keeping fingers crossed for me and you all xx

Foxsticks · 21/01/2014 18:59

You've reminded me that I started drinking milk when pregnant despite hating it! Could be a sign!

Bearsandtoys · 21/01/2014 19:08

My AF is due on the 28th too. I hate the random symptom spotting. I poke my boobs about every 2 minutes to check if they are sore!

Lovecuppy · 21/01/2014 19:16

Me too bears! I have never looked and poked them so much :-)

LightsPlease · 21/01/2014 21:47

I jump up and down to see if they hurt. Silly really because first pregnancy I didn't know until I was almosts seven weeks but now im thinking ive got symptoms a few days after sex.

Hazelbrowneyes · 22/01/2014 08:22

Going by last month, I'm due on 31st Jan but it's only second month off the pill so who knows!

Last month I had ovulation cramps on CD18. This month I had similar cramps on CD14 (but was expecting more on CD18 as I had cramps on CD14 last month too!) and nothing, so I either ovulated on 14th or I'm yet to ovulate and my cycle is all over the place! Guess I'll find out next week!

Seb101 · 22/01/2014 08:40

I understand the not wanting to go to the toliet until desperate! That fear of finding af has arrived. There are times I daren't look down in case it's there. Absolutely crazy.!!!!

No symptoms at all here, either of impending af or pregnancy.

Foxsticks · 22/01/2014 08:53

I'm now wondering if my symptoms are because I started 5:2 and are not pregnancy related? I'm tempted to POAS on Friday, which is a bit early but I want to know!! Plus I don't think I should fast again if I could be pregnant.

Cakebaker35 · 22/01/2014 08:57

Fox try and hold off poas until you're late, it's just so stressful to do it early and drive yourself mor crazy! And yes agree don't fast again for the time being until you know either way.

Foxsticks · 22/01/2014 09:06

I know I shouldn't cakebaker, and I didn't with either of my other two pregnancies, I just feel I'm driving myself bonkers with symptom spotting. I've got a couple of FR tests coming from Amazon so I'll try and hold off for as long as I can.

shelterbelter · 22/01/2014 09:28

I tested last night and of course BFN as way too early. So annoyed with myself.

Boobs are a bit twitchy, feel heavy below and some cramps but of course this could all be AF in the way early. Want to test on Friday as my birthday but even then that's still three days early.

Why do we do this to ourselves?

Lovecuppy · 22/01/2014 11:39

6 DPO and boobs are definitely a bit bigger today!! Have bounced up and down and they are definitely a bit sore but I think that's cause I'm not wearing a bra!! :-) will see what they are like when running later!!

Must use this- www.countdowntopregnancy.com/tools/pregnancy_test_calculator.php
And not test til late!

Pickles79 · 22/01/2014 12:21

AF arrived this morning. Totally shocked me as its 3 days early. Gutted.

So sorry pickles Sad

Pickles79 · 22/01/2014 12:46

Ah thank you. I knew it was on its way as I was so bloated yesterday. Just thought I had a few more days to dream.

FeckinNC · 22/01/2014 12:56

Sorry Pickles - that happened to me last month 3 days early, knocked me for six.

TTC#1 cycle 5 - AF due 28th. No symptoms at all so not holding out much hope. Will NOT test until AF late as have driven myself mad last few months testing early. Fingers crossed all!

Cakebaker35 · 22/01/2014 12:57

Ah pickles I'm so sorry Flowers I'm pretty sure the bitch is on it's way here too.

Shelter, try to resist early testing if you can! If you get a bfn in your birthday surely it will just make the day a bit Sad? Or maybe that's just how my brain works?!

Foxsticks · 22/01/2014 13:28

Sorry to hear that pickles. It really throws you when it's early Thanks

newforest · 22/01/2014 13:55

I have no symptoms for anything - even AF. I normally have sore boobs for almost two weeks prior to AF and nothing! No cramping (bar some twinges 2 days ago). I'm hoping no symptoms is good! Least I'm not imagining any this time!

Seb101 · 22/01/2014 20:20

I've just had some pinkish brown discharge; sorry if tti ! 4 days before period due. I'm trying to persuade myself it's implantation bleeding, but in reality pretty sure af is on the way Hmm feel a mixture of sadness that deep down I know this month has failed again, and desperate hope that maybe it is implantation bleeding. Time will tell.....
Really hope at least one of us gets good news this month! :))

MrsMac1397 · 23/01/2014 07:05

I'm out! af arrived this morning. I was hoping this would be our month. Fingers crossed for next month.

Good luck everyone! Grin

shelterbelter · 23/01/2014 07:53

For some reason I have high hopes for this cycle. Sure I will be proved wrong and my stress levels with work aren't good but have everything crossed.

FeckinNC · 23/01/2014 08:33

Seb - hang in there, it's not over until AF arrives.

Sorry to those AF got (can't name check as on phone). Just have to keep on keeping on, hard as I know it is.

I have the start of cramps today so suspect AF will arrive on cue on 27thSad. I have decided I am going to get myself checked out, been trying six months and 35 this year. Not in UK and private cover fortunately. Apparently here if you haven't conceived in 6 months it's straight to IVF!Blush

claudeekishi · 23/01/2014 14:23

Seb101 I'm in the same boat as you...pink spotting yesterday morning after dtd. Period is due 27th. I had myself convinced for the first few DPO that I was feeling stuff - now I just feel NOTHING. I tested yesterday and it was negative. Feel annoyed at myself for doing that -- really need to get a grip.
