Very early signs you might be pregnant.

Just wondering what your very first indications were? It's way too early for me to test but I've got tender boobs which is not typical for me during my cycle and period type cramps, and again not typical for me.

I am probably clutching at a million straws but am interested in your experiences.

I caved and POAS - BFN, in only 8dpo so trying to keep hope. If I torture my eyes I can maybe see a hint of a line, but the internet chepies always leave an evap line to some degree don't they.

So wish I hadn't done it. Never mind.

waiting til end of week to test.
Today, excruciating stomach pain, head, tummy and back aches
more light brown spotting too.
Suspense!

LastOneDancing · 04/03/2015 14:11

Oh no mumtoason! I also tested again today - whyyyy??? whyyyy??

I felt sick as a dog when I woke up though. If I'm not pregnant I'm ill. Or maybe it's the thought of going back to work tomorrow after 12 months glorious maternity leave

Oh no last returning to work after ML is horrible!
I had some good news today, I went to see the Dr and she was very reassuring that the MAP shouldn't have any negative effects or an increased risk of ectopic pregnancy, so that's something!

Great news theendof Smile

LastOneDancing · 04/03/2015 17:26

Great news theend!

I have been and stocked up on cheapo tests because now I've started testing I can't go cold turkey. I'm too weak Grin

Congatulations! Flowers

So to save me from wasting another pregnancy test I just took an ov test and it came out positive.

Obviously this could mean something or absolutely nothing.

Oh the joys of the 2ww!

Why do I do this to myself. Sad

DrewOB · 05/03/2015 08:26

I'm not sure what to think.
Some fresh blood last night but it seems to have stopped. Stomach has settled a bit too. Arrgghhhh!

DrewOB · 05/03/2015 10:57

more today but darker and not too heavy (sorry TMI)

aaargghh this wait is horrible!

LastOneDancing · 05/03/2015 19:24

Ov tests come out positive when you're pregnant mum Shock test! test! test!

DrewOB · 06/03/2015 07:12

I'm out for this month :(. I guess the lesson is do not trust the symptoms until there's an actually BFP

tammie49 · 06/03/2015 07:32

I had a blood test on Wed (cd21) to check all my levels and everything was fine. DP going to go to drs now to check he's ok. I'm now 11dpo, my temp dipped at 7dpo and it's been rising ever since. I guess I could be pg if implantation hadn't occured on Wed but I'm just waiting for AF now. have cramps again this morning.

So true drew. We just get so hyper sensitive to every twinge.

I don't think I'm going to be lucky this month either, but if you'd asked me a week ago I was convinced I was pregnant!

Ah well, best get some practice in for next month Wink December baby anyone?

MalibuDaisy · 06/03/2015 11:56

LastOne I am the same - last week, utterly convinced. A week away from the time I plan to test...nah. It would still be lovely to get a BFP but I don't have any real evidence, I think I just got over-excited ;)

mumtoason87 · 06/03/2015 19:49

I'm out Sad

First period in 28 months - feels weird.

I think I'm going to give my body a few months to get back to normal before I start TTC again.

Thanks for the support ladies. X

MalibuDaisy · 08/03/2015 08:48

I tested this morning (after saying I wouldn't!) BFN. It might have been too early (AF is due sometime between Tuesday and Thursday, but I haven't tracked her for enough months to be sure) but yesterday lunchtime I got a strong metallic taste in my mouth, it was really odd! I bit into some ham and it tasted like tin. The weird taste came and went all afternoon - even water tasted tinny - but it had gone by the evening. Strange that it should happen now as I've never experienced anything like it before, but after the BFN I'm not overly hopeful. We'll see. Sorry to hear that mumtoason I hope you have better luck in future Flowers

DrewOB · 08/03/2015 17:23

So, had a medium to light AF for 4 days when all symptoms disappeared, since today I feel like throwing up constantly again, breasts sore, exhausted. Am I stupid to hope? ( saying that, I really wish this was a stomach bug, but I find odd that there are bugs that take 3 days breaks)
Any opinion?

DrewOB · 08/03/2015 17:35

Just brewed grated ginger in hot water and feeling immensely better. sorry rambling

LastOneDancing · 08/03/2015 19:37

Have you done another test drew?

DrewOB · 08/03/2015 19:47

I'm waiting til bleeding has stopped. Did a test Saturday evening and that was negative
