hi blueberry

I get bad stomach cramps - like period pain. I also feel very hot and a bit sick. I haven't had ewcm the past few months so have given up the dumb pregnacare and downing cough medicine this month! yours sound promising!

Argh getting those "pregnant" feelings in my tummy anyone else get this lol 12 days till AF

The last two months ive had stabby pains first month was right side second was left.

Today I feel 'heavy' on my left side (the only way I can explain it) and crampy on my back. Yesterday I had ewcm, felt ill had had migraine and day before I had migraine and some ewcm.

I know im probably getting excited for no reason but id love my body to sort itself out without having to take lots of drugs to kick start everything.

Thanks for getting back to me Genni and Hanflan

Hi blueberry

Like genni I get very hot (flushes that last seemingly hours!) about 2 days before OV, and some niggles but I wouldn't say they are as bad as cramps.

Congratulations MrsBee!

And Chandlers I'm v impressed with the efficient Thai medical lot, fx for you this cycle

I've been determined not to symptom spot, 11 cycles in and I'm getting a bit gloomy about the chances of it happening so I'm trying not to get too fixated. But it's 8 DPO and I'm soo tired, feel sick and the D Day stories in the news have had me in floods of tears this morning. And "every little thing" came on the radio just now and has floored me. So I'm either upduffed or just getting ever more unhinged.

I'm sooooo hunnnngrrryyyyyyy!!! (SYMPTOM? Or just simply an empty stomach?)

so far today I've already eaten cereal, a big fat bowl of soup with half a pack of rice cakes, a handful of sweets, a hot chocolate, a milkshake...and currently have a large dish of cauliflower cheese with new potatoes in the oven

Just been talking to OH and we have made a decision: if I'm not upduffed by August (when were 'taking a break' from TTC yeah right! ), we're going to talk about getting a kitten . We're still doing to dog-fostering thing (our Support Dog foster went off to a new home on Monday, and the spaniel went back home a week or so ago) but we've just got our little man at the mo and it seems a bit too quiet in our house, hence the kitty chat ! (Dogs are my idea, kittens are more for my OH).

You just watch, we'll be "not trying" in August and get pregnant with twins or something! Also, it would be just typical to find out the day after our new kitten/doggy moves in...bloody Sod!

Hope everyone's having a nice day :)

Forgot to say CONGRATULATIONS MrsBee!!!

Awwww spotti a kitten sounds like a great idea! One of my friends did a similar thing but with a dog. Had been ttc for a VERY long time, then got upduffed! Newborn and a "playful" puppy. Fun times ;)
I would love a little kitten, sadly I am very allergic. Boooo.

Thought I had some mega SYMPTOMS going on this morning but it turned out to be trapped wind. Oh well

Congrats Mrsbee! Fab news for the bus! Also impressed with the fast and cheap fertility support chandlers!!! Maybe I should hop on a plane!

It could still be a SYMPTOM hanflan as progesterone causes bloating and your digestive system to slow down so you can absorb more nutrients but this also leads to more wind.

I'm currently 8dpo and my symptoms include; Tiredness, Bloating, Backache and Sore boobs so I am feeling quite positive. Even more so when this morning I had a temp shift UP from my previous elevated temps. Just hoping they stay that way now. Based on a 28 day cycle, I should be due on saturday but I ovulated on cd18 so may well find that has pushed my cycle to more like 30 days or so.

Ooooh grand really?! Have definitely had some seriously bloating/gas today haha! And I was so tired yesterday I had to crash into bed at 9pm. That was 8dpo. Very similar symptoms to you, we are totally preggo! Although my temp has stayed high but completely level for the past few days, just want it to rise a little bit more so that it's higher than "normal" for this point in the luteal phase!

Ooh Spottie a kitten is a great idea!

Although I get royally peed off with people asking us when we're going to have a baby, I'm the annoying friend who's constantly asking my mates when they're going to get kittens. p[;;;;;;';[#

Perfect timing - the last bit was my 12 year old kitten coming in from the rain and walking across the keyboard

Grrr. I'm on cd31 (usually have a 30 day cycle). No sign of AF apart from a few cramps, but still just cm every time. Not going to POAS too soon, did it yesterday and got a BFN, so I doubt much could change in 24 hours. Could it?

Ha ha Stepawayfromthezebras my cat does that too, I like to think she is trying to communicate with me. Your symptoms sound promising!

Lots of us seem to be around 8DPO - I am really lacking symptoms though! Have on/off lower back pain and had quite a few odd little cramps this morning and last night but not much else to report. Looks like it may just me little old me on the penis dragon bus/plane to Thailand in July.

Don't worry Aprilray, if I do get a BFP (although I am a bit more positive now due to a sudden bout of nausea and feeling faint around 20 minutes ago) then I will probably collapse in shock and knock myself out in the bathroom and be hospitalised that way . Seriously though, just because there are some people with more symptoms than you, doesn't mean you are not pg. After all, some people have no idea they are pg until much later down the line.

april quite a few of the bfp's on the May bus had absolutely NO symptoms so were convinced they were out! There is still hope :)

Thanks, ladies that is good to know. I had lots of symptoms in previous months then AF appeared. FX for all of us. Roll on the Friday POAS party!

April, looking at the cat's message to me, he mostly seems to be winking at me, so that's nice

And I really don't think that many people would have symptoms at this stage - I think we just fixate on stuff that we normally feel anyway without noticing. I've been aware of AF cramping since TTC whereas I wasn't before. I think it's just that I've been monitoring myself more so more aware of what's going on

This website shows you the most common 8 dpo symptoms and the pregnant/non pregnant symptoms aren't that far off

FX for you

Thanks stepawayfromthezebras
I've only realised since ttc that when I have felt like I am coming down with something in the past it has just been ovulation - definitely makes you more aware of your body.

Stepaway, I never knew about the achy chest? I have an achy chest and clearly am pg on cd39 and dtd once! My urine is just in denial!

Secondly, whilst I was scrolling back to look for new stats, saw this line from MrsBeeBeeBee a few days back: I'm 12DPO and got some really sharp foof pain Think I'm going to add foof pain to my list of symptoms on FF

Here's an interesting SYMPTOM for you all...Last time I got my BFP, I had a really itchy back - right at the top but below my neck, with a slight light brown rash that DH spotted. Went towards the end of my cycle after mc and I'm guessing hcg left my body.

Guess what I've been experiencing today...

MrsE & Kitty Dr Stepaway reckons that you're both def upduffed

Hmm, maybe we can incorporate a winner of 'the oddest pg symptom' on our plane along with our record amount of BFP's?
