TTC - anxious over early pregnancy possible symptoms?

[PrtyPsn]

Hi,
First time post so please be kind :)
Been TTC for 4 months now (though month 1 we missed my fertile window)
I'm around 5ish days from AF being due but wondering if I could be pregnant for a few reasons: I e been really struggling to sleep the past few nights and when I manage to I have really vivid dreams (the kind when you aren't sure if they have actually happened when you wake up) I've been peeing almost double what I normally would and every now and then I get a weird feeling in my stomach, in a similar place to where I have period pains but it's not pain, it's more like when you over extend a muscle, just a twinge then it's gone.
Was wondering if anyone had similar symptoms? Sorry to pour all this in here (you've probably heard it a million times before) but nobody knows we are TTC so I'm kinda on my own with this!
Thanks

Yep shary I find when I'm in a positive mood then someone at work or a friend or family member announces a pregnancy (every bloody week!) it knocks me right back... the only exception is on here when I get super excited for a BFP!!

mummybex Thankfully it is actually within the company I have worked for since I graduated so I have been here for years and am keeping everything crossed they will be accommodating with going down to part time! Luckily my OH has great paternity at his job (6 months on full pay!) so we have already discussed me going part time and him taking the full paternity. Still not tested but am planning to do tomorrow morning which will be 13 days late. Am having so many odd symptoms but am wondering if it is just me making them up because I want it! My OH thinks I am but really can't get too excited yet.

FX'd for you brtibird let us know how testing goes!!

thank you prtypsn Am super nervous.

Oh man, I thought MN was down again. Turns out they've just blocked the app! Hope I haven't missed the boat for Toblerones!

Prty, when you start up the new thread, d'ya reckon we should have some Sept stats at the start? Getting lost with all these dates and AFs!!

Oh and FX bird! (Sorry, using up precious posts here, I'll shut up)

Argh aindy I wasn't gonna do stats cos I don't really understand it when I've seen it on other threads lol!
Also never expected my very first post to get such a response to be honest, never mind a following pahahahaha!
Thoughts on this ladies?
If someone else wants to do stats I'm happy with that?

You must let us all know the name of your new thread! I don't want to get lost!

Don't you worry pinky no foof left behind

Hey ladies - don't normally post during the day but had a quick look and thought I better get in here incase I miss my last post on the original thread !:) if I miss it I'll look out for foofs:) CD42 , already had 2 BFN but contemplating doing a final(honest) test later .... Am I being a crazy POASer !?

Ooooo the pressure of getting on on a dying thread... I'll kinda miss the original when it's done!
When was your last BFN stripes?

It was Monday Prty , I know I'm kidding myself really but I've never been this late, I was actually really chilled this month but I've turned cray cray again now !

That's quite late stripes I say POAS tomorrow with FMU so you know you've used the most promising methods. If nothing by Monday then try again? Symptoms?

Good call :) I've had a few pains in my stomach but not normal period pains and I'm hungry all the time but prob just being a greedy cow lol , I'm never hungry in the morning and have to force myself to eat breakfast but this week I've been starving every morning other than that nothing that def points to pg or AF !

Hahaha I'm sure it's either AF or PG hormones making you eat!
I'm only a few days past ovulation (4-5 by my estimation, 2-3 by apps) but I can't stop peeing, bloody ridiculous! And excess saliva... and not just cos I'm having takeaway for dinner!!

V jealous about your takeaway tonight ! Keeping everything crossed for this cycle for you Prty xx

Let's just be sure and don't post after 997. Then we've got a buffer for Prty's link. I've never really looked at stats, just saw it on another post and thought it was pretty good to reference. My guess is that we all just say something like:
Age
TTC #
Cycle #
AF due

Or something like that? Maybe some other stuff? Tbh this is the only thread I keep up with now. The others have died off. I'm still a noob really

Well I'm about ready to murder my "D"H. Why are men such dicks at times :-/

Hope everyone is having a better day than me lol!

Oh no MummyBex! Dare I ask?

Awww bex
Men are useless at times... like all the time! Stupid sperm hogging idiots!
Try not to kill him til you're upduffed, my lovely :)

Aww bex :( sending hugs x

Sperm hogging idiots indeed PMSL!!

Bah he's just being a stroppy nob, currently off sulking in another room lol. I'm sure he'll either apologise or get asphyxiated shortly.

Eugh! Temp went from 36.2 to 36.3 this morning which is hardly the dramatic rise I was hoping for. Did a bit of reading though & it said for some women it can take several days post-ovulation (2-3 but sometimes 4-5) for a significant temp rise to occur. If I have ovulated I think it was on Thursday. Do I take a 0.1 rise as a positive indicator that things are 'heating up' or should I drop the straws that I'm clutching at?!

Well my crazy foof is certainly going crazy again today!

CD15 and I had AF type cramps yesterday and now pink spotting. Too early for implantation as based on my last cycle I won't even OV for another ten days! But feels very much like AF.

What. the. hell.

Stupid stupid irregular cycles! Bah.

shary I guess it maybe depends on what your usual temp fluctuation is like? If it's only been 2-3 days then it could still be a little early.... Im not too sure
bex that's frustrating :( I've woken up with a few AF type niggles but in CD22 (ish) of a 33 day (ish) cycle it's too early for implant or AF... bloody foofs are as bad as the idiot men!!
