Last month I drove myself nuts with symptom spotting and early poas. I had every sign and symptom going and was convinced I was pregnant. Luckily I kept a list of all my many symptoms on a calendar so this time if necessary I can remind myself that pms has all the same same features as early pregnancy.
I'm determined not to test until 23rd, as I think I should come on then if I'm going to, must stay strong!! Anyone want company in ignoring the whole thing?!

I ovulated on the 17th, and bd'd on the 16th and 21st! I have just had a bit more brownish blood and cramps so I hope its not chemical Confused.

I have no symptoms at all!! I only did the test as it was my last one and I just like pos'ing!!! I have been drinking all weekend Shock.

Thank you for all the congratulations! AF is not due until Tuesday so I am trying not to get too carried away!

Also, every internet cheapie that I did last week has been negative, but the clear blue today was positive! Xx

TerryTheGreenHorse · 29/03/2015 22:01

Internet cheapies are quite renowned for not showing very early so don't worry about those, trust the clearblues!

doomkittycleo · 29/03/2015 22:02

Thanks wine. You've given me some hope. We bd the day before O too but I got up straight after and walked for 30 minutes. Did you do any of that crazy lying with your legs in the air stuff or anything? And had you been on bc before you started trying?
Sorry for all the questions but it really helps Smile

TerryTheGreenHorse · 29/03/2015 22:06

No there is no need to put your legs in the air! Enough should ha e got into the battle zone.

Springflower3 · 29/03/2015 22:14

Big massive congrats wine so happy for you!!!!

I think you have given us all hope!

Ps boobs are so sore I want to cry!!! Ne one else emotional???

wineandpopcorn · 30/03/2015 06:53

I got straight up afterwards too, I forgot you were meant to lie down for a bit!

Is anyone testing this week? Xxx

doomkittycleo · 30/03/2015 07:08

I'm going to try to hang on till Sunday/Monday if I can.

CarrotVan · 30/03/2015 07:30

I think I'm out. Minimal brownish discharge for the first two days of my expected period turned into light red flow late last night. It might still be breakthrough or spotting but I doubt it.

doomkittycleo · 30/03/2015 07:45

Aww, sorry Carrot that suck.

Terry, I've never thought of it as a battle zone lol.

FortySixandTwo · 30/03/2015 10:57

Oh congrats Wine thats awesome news :).

Ive stuffed my face with chocolate yesterday and am now making a list of new symptoms I can look for next month its like Symptom Bingo here.

FX everyone still in the game and good job so far for not testing mega early.

MalibuDaisy · 30/03/2015 11:27

Congratulations wine!

I still have a week and a half til AF is due, but am completely symptom-less this month, due to being able to ignore any "symptoms" that I experienced last month (tiredness, sore boobs, needing to go to the loo halfway through my Monday morning pilates class - happened at the exact same time last month but this time I know it definitely isn't a symptom!)

Deciding not to symptom-spot is definitely making the 2ww easier. I hope it's working out for everyone else too :)

Fruityb · 30/03/2015 11:31

I got a BFN yesterday. No AF as yet today however so am 3 days late and my face is so spotty I could cry. Whatever is going on needs to happen as my hormones are all over!!

Springflower3 · 30/03/2015 13:27

Think I'm defo out getting the usual AF cramps and bloating ! It's not die till fri but could come early!

TerryTheGreenHorse · 30/03/2015 18:30

I'm 5 DPO and not a whiff of any symtoms here.

doomkittycleo · 30/03/2015 18:36

I had some twinges early on but they've been gone since 4dpo. Have had a mild headache

Springflower3 · 30/03/2015 18:46

What do u think would happen if men had to go through this!!!

doomkittycleo · 30/03/2015 18:56

Don't even go there spring.

Fruityb · 30/03/2015 21:16

Bloody hell I don't think I'd expect any symptoms at 5dpo!! I'm at 15 you'll have gone crazy by this point!

Still no AF but still not over thinking this. If I get to Wednesday it'll be the second time I've had a 31 day cycle. The BFN I got yesterday doesn't get my hopes up either. I track my cycles and haven't gone longer than 26 days very often. Am on 29 today. Might try again tomorrow if AF still stays away.

FortySixandTwo · 30/03/2015 21:17

Could well imagine DH being a zillion times worse symptom spotter than I am !! I find that quite comforting ;)

Does anyone else get slightly swollen throat as a pre AF symptom ? It's only been happening a week before and goes down once AF arrives ?

FortySixandTwo · 30/03/2015 21:19

Fingers crossed for you Fruity if you POAS tomorrow x

TerryTheGreenHorse · 30/03/2015 21:59

I was getting really sore boobs right after ovulating for ages but I haven't this month so I am wondering if I ovualted, it's rare for me to have nothing.

Probably means nowt though Grin

Fruityb · 30/03/2015 22:14

I get sore boobs before my period every month. Nothing this month. Not even a slight ache.

I am covered in spots. I am not happy about that.

TerryTheGreenHorse · 30/03/2015 22:18

So are you actually late?

Im never late I would be pissing on everything in sight.

Grin
Fruityb · 30/03/2015 22:23

I'm 3 days late and I'm never late either however last year I was a week late and AF showed up so I'm remaining calm. Had a BFN yesterday so waiting a little longer. Don't want to get my hopes up as I end up sad.

TerryTheGreenHorse · 30/03/2015 23:03

Oh! I am willing AF away for you, and good news.
