Hi there, I ov either on the 28th of this month or a couple days later, I'm not sure if I am 9dpo or 14 dpo at this point but I'm guessing more towards 9dpo so ... With that my symptoms have been as following :
6 or 11dpo - slight nausea, headaches, peeing a lot, bloating, constipation, tiredness, little bit of white cm
7 or 12dpo - woke up feeling nauseous and that carried on with public transport but haven't been sick, woke up with lower leg cramps too. Feeling pregnant. Boobs are still swollen and still bloated. Cm has returned to clear and stretchy consistency Took a test but BFN 
8 or 13dpo - symptoms easier today, feeling tired and breasts have been fluctuating a bit in size but no tenderness, had more cramping and sharp abdominal pains than normal but no bleeding. Felt a bit nauseous eating salted crisps but other than that not much nausea. 
Still stuck with the clear stretchy cm
9 or 14dpo - had more cramping today in the morning and still feeling extremely thirsty and needing the loo a lot. Nipples have been slightly tender but only for a short while. I'm now basically all dried up down there, no sign of any cm.... Good or bad sign Hmm???? 

I'm trying so hard to resist the testing urge but I bought 4 asda own early response tests yesterday and it's so tempting. Would tomorrow (10 dpo) be too early!? af is due Wednesday or Thursday as far as I know so that would be 12 or 13dpo

As a couple, OH and I are so happy and I hold no resentment towards him whatsoever because in the back of my mind it might not have been the right time. However, in myself... I miss carrying my baby, even though I never had a bump or felt it move or anything. I did want my baby.
It's difficult because I'm very open about my emotions but OH isn't and doesn't like talking about it really SadConfused

Sorry to butt in here. I have been reading and Betty my heart goes out to you. I'm crying reading your awful situation and cannot believe someone who loves you could force you to make a decision you clearly do not want to make.

I have absolutely nothing against abortion, but you just sound so deeply unhappy about having to go through with it. I'm so so sorry. I wish I could give you a RL hug Sad

Hi Ladies
Sorry to interrupt, just looking for a wee bit of advice
5wks ago I miscarried, I was 7wks - doctor told me when I felt ready to just to go for it and try again as I don't get regular periods due to PCOS..
Well for the last few days I've had really sore boobs, writing this I'm laid here feeling like I've got a pair of bricks on my chest - they are rock hard & tender.
I also woke from a nap earlier feeling so very nauseous.. Where I'm currently living someone was frying food, the smell made me heave and run to the bathroom as I thought I was going to hurl..
Could I have been lucky enough to fall again so quickly or is my body playing games with me?
In this thread some have spoken of cm, what does that mean please?
Oh and another thing I've never felt as aroused as I do now, I'm horny all the frigging time and no matter how much I'm getting my body just wants more...
(Sorry if last bit is tmi, lol) does anyone else feel like it? I would be grateful for any feedback.

Hi Stewart, not sure if this will help you at all but here's my story just in case. I stopped the pill in January. I had the withdrawal bleed and then two cycles, Feb was 29 days and then in March af just never came. I had 3 negative tests all in all with the last one at cd 35. I then kind of gave up and just thought it was obviously my body settling after the pill..

However on cd44 I didn't feel right and my husband said maybe I should do a test. Within seconds I got a very strong BFP and then confirmed it with a clear blue digital one. I'm now 6+4 and the doctor reckons I just ovulated later in March so that was why I got the bfn at cd35 etc. I was beginning to give up hope but we got a lovely unexpected surprise instead of af appearing late.

Not sure if this will help at all so apologies in advance if not. :) good luck!

I'm so so sorry to hear all of this Betty :(
I'm really new to posting to bare with me ladies.
My son is now 5...his father tried to make me have an abortion and we were in a (so I thought) stable happy relationship, so I agreed but couldn't do it just woke up one day and thought how selfish!! His dad stayed and eventually got excited...until my son turned 2 and he decided he didn't really like family life!
But I am a stronger much happier person, my son is amazing, and I am very happy with my now husband.

TTC baby number 2 at the minute (hence the post stalking!)

I hope I am not speaking out of turn. I just wanted to let you know others have been there.

Good luck whichever decision you make, just make sure you are doing it for YOU! Because if one day he flakes on you again, how will you feel :( xx

I have no problem with abortion. I know people who have had them for a variety of reasons and I've supported them. I myself would consider an abortion in the right circumstances. And Betty only you are in this situation and must do what's right for you.

However, please, please don't do this for anyone but yourself! This wasn't an accidental pregnancy because the pill failed or the condom split. You weren't in an unhappy relationship. It's not a new relationship or resulting from a one night stand. You didn't 'trick' the father. You're not a couple of teenagers. In those scenarios things would be very different.

He feels how he feels, fine - even though really it's a bit late to be having second thoughts. But don't let him mess with your mind and do it to keep him happy! You must see that if you do terminate the pregnancy you will probably find it very difficult to forgive him. You may find you keep denying your own emotions in order to appease and keep him. And it's likely that a few months down the line you will find any love and respect you had for him will have disappeared and you won't want him anyway. Don't do this just because you want to keep him. You're in the midst of this right now but you may find you'll look back at this time with disgust at his outrageous u-turn.

So do what you must but don't blindly think this will save your relationship. It is very unlikely to go back to how it was before anyway because he has revealed himself to be something other than you thought he was. The trauma of terminating a pregnancy you really wanted because he simply 'changed his mind' will impact hugely on your regards for this man.

Good luck. You are in an impossible situation and I'm so very sorry for you and your baby that your boyfriend is such a massive prick. ThanksThanksThanks

Are my symptoms weird... In the morn I'm ready to take on the world. I went for a brisk walk that I do regularly anyhow. I have totally gown off food- don't even feel hungry😶. All I've been able to eat today is noodles that DD made for herself for lunch and I had the extra bit she made... Nothing else at all.
Also I can't sleep in the night at all. Be up till 2 and then back up again at 5 . Am surprised I wanted to go walking with so little sleep lol.

And Stewart your body is probably still adjusting to not being fed with hormones. Unfortunately all you can do is wait for either your BFP or AF x

Betty my lovely I'm glad you're on better terms with your OH, but you must be gutted about giving up your bubba. As long as you're 100% sure about this and it is the right decision for you, I'm sure you'll have a lot of support from the ladies on here. Feel like I've been on this whole journey with you, odd as you're basically a stranger, but I've been thinking of you. Hope you're doing ok Smile xx
