I cannot think of anything else, sometimes I think I might be feeling early signs, then I'll feel nothing! I so wasn't like this with DD1 - who was a honeymoon instant almost immaculate conception! Think I'm going slightly mad! BFP due on 29th - might take an early one on Monday but I can't help but feel I'm setting myself up for massive disappointment! Shock

Hi Elle I've been on a day off today so gladly not really thought about Ttc which was actually nice as I have been obsessing over it the last week! Also luckily those painful cramps seem to have subsided thank god! I took another cheaply test this morning but bfn I'm still only 7dpo. Will probably test everyday now with a cheaply until I get a for a positive!! Lol

I am 2dpo and feeling impatient already. I haven't been using opks so have been using ovulation calendar charts to help me through it. Been dtd upto today just in case my ovulation dates are wrong (sorry for tmi)
But now counting down the days already. My BFP is expected around the 4th of March so iv got a while left!
I also got loads of cheapies from the net Emily, defo great for testing early ;) I sure will! Hope its BFP's all round xx

Count yourself lucky Elle!! Period style cramps are extra horrible when you can't drown yourself in painkillers like I normally would!! When are you testing?

I hope all the pain will be worth it, Emily!

Hi Emily, how early dpo did you start having your cramps? I am only 3 dpo and have already been having mild cramps. Hope that's a good sign! :) Fx xx

EmilyPinkOrBlue · 20/02/2014 15:06

Hi indigo they started 3/4 dpo for me and have mostly subsided now at 8dpo it got bad enough for me to use a hot water bottle one evening and consider drugs but didn't! Hope they don't trouble you too much x

Hmmm feeling like AF is here but not due for another week - could it be a good sign , or am I just imagining things?!! Hmm

OP posts:
indigo55 · 20/02/2014 20:02

Any signs yet?

I don't know - I'm feeling a bit different but I honestly think I'm over thinking it and it's probably nothing - anything your end?

Morning ladies.
Today is 4dpo and my chest is sore, not painful but I am aware of every movement. I think cos I am looking for signs at all times. Im also getting different discharge which is weird. Yesterday eve it was like thick n white and today morning its EW. Don't really know what to make of it. Going to enjoy the sunshine today and try and get some assessments done for work to keep my mind of things. How you lovelies getting on? X

ooh sounds promising indigo - my boobs are feeling a bit tingly but nothing to write home about! still expecting a BFN but really hoping I'm wrong!

indigo55 · 22/02/2014 23:13

How we doing today?
All symptoms have gone for me today. Feel absolutely norm. Don't know if it was all that sunshine the last couple of days or just trying not to think about it.
Being on half term has not helped at all! Back to work on Monday and would be good to keep my mind of this waiting game for the next few days. Cant believe actually don't mind. Lol! x

I was tempted earlier to POAS but might see how I feel in the morning and maybe test then.
You might have tested too early? I'm not sure about Xmas baby but! he gap between DD1 is getting bigger and bigger!!
how you doing indigo? any news?

OP posts:
indigo55 · 24/02/2014 21:22

No symptoms or anything out of the ordinary for me. Not due until the 3/4 March so got another whole week until I start stressing (not that I am not already) Hope its good news for all of us! Good luck for poas tomorrow Elle. (If you do!) How old is your DD?

ElleOhElle · 24/02/2014 22:07

She'll be 3 at the end of March. would have preferred a slightly smaller gap but had to put off trying for a few months for various reasons.
hope you get your BFP soon, are you going to test early?

OP posts:
indigo55 · 24/02/2014 23:22

I'm also up for smaller gaps too... Its amazing how we plan things out in our heads but it never works out. I'm already planning not to leave it too long before trying for another. Lol!
But still to see what happens with the 1st one! hehe
Last cycle I was so sure I had a BFP but AF made the appearance 4 days early! I haven't used any OPK's so had to go with ovulation calendars. As you know there are soooo many different types! But I kept the window open wider so can have better chances this time. I might start testing this sunday which will be 11/12 dpo.
If it doesn't work this cycle I will defo be getting the OPK's for the next one! :)
