early symptoms- when do I test!???

[AnxiousBetty]

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 ????

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

I said i wasnt going to get myself so worked up about it but this is just frustrating now! Lol

I said the same sabzh!!
I think it's because I know we are not trying next month. I've promised myself to be a bit more laid back with it in May though. I'm not going to buy any tests so they're not sitting in the drawer shouting at me!

I'm still in with a chance at the moment but not got much hope.. I've not really got any symptoms apart from being tired but I had that before we started trying anyway and I am normally tired before AF.
Going to test Wednesday morning and then wait until Saturday to see if AF shows.

Why is a cycle one month long! It's such a long wait

Its so hard not to be when its something you really want. As you said we are still in with a chance! But im starting to think i have something else wrong thats causing me to miss my period

I know how you feel sabzh, I promised myself I wasn't going to get so hung up on it all but I got way too worried and excited way too quickly and it all got to me too much so now I've just tried to relax and it's worked. I'm not so fussed I'm just kind of waiting for af to show her face. I didn't test today but I'm going to be testing Wednesday which would make me a day late .... I think.... If the dates I've tried to work out are accurate, but who knows.
The cramping and cm I've been having has made me wonder as I never usually get cramping apart from a couple days before af shows up but it's been a week now. And I never ever get sore nipples ever so that is strange! Xxx

I have the same problem, i get excited prematurely and set myself up for a fall. I don't think my DH quite gets it or if he does he doesn't show it. How are all your partners feeling about it?

Your symptoms sound promising betty and especially its still early for you to test. Me, Im on CD42! Way past my AF due date xx

Keep positive ladies

Betty it is sounding good

Chapman, keep us posted as to how it goes with the SMEP

Xx

hi ladies, I'm Jod and on Wednesday I'm getting my coil out yes we are going to TTC no 3. I'm going to try not to chart or track and instead just go with the flow!

My OH is being great to be honest. He's told me not to get too stressed about it and if testing makes me feel better then just test... We always make sure we are together when testing though.
It's only our first month though so I'm sure if I'm a mad woman for months on end he might get a little annoyed!

We Dtd the right time so I'm thinking to myself it's got to happen but I know it's not as simple as that.

Still not giving up hope completely!! Plus it is only the first month so I know I'm being silly in any case x

My OH is being really lovely and supporting. He gets a little overwhelmed when I'm being a mad women and symptom spotting though! He's excited that we are ttc but I also think he's shitting bricks inside (sorry for the Language)

I'm hoping its promising but I really don't know my dates. It's all changed in the past two weeks and I really have no clue which estimate was right! I think that's why I'm just waiting for af to show up as I don't know anything! Not even if we dtd right!

Glad I have all you ladies to talk to though! Xxx

Dont get me wrong my DH is very supportive and i think he plays it down so I dont get myself too excited for nothing. He is very much if it happens it will happen if its meant to be. However i think he is more bothered about his man flu at the moment lol

I agree Betty, definitely glad i have you ladies to go threw this with me too! Always nice to have others who understand what your talking about and not being alien to them lol x

Hi Jod... Welcome! X

I think men tend to take a back seat and keep us sane which is good. I suppose with it not being they're body too they don't go through all the symptom spotting

OH would like to test tonight so going to do that. According to ovia it is my test day and I have a morrisons 4 days before AF ... So we shall see what tonight brings! If it's a BFN It will be just waiting for AF on Saturday for confirmation. I'm glad my cycle is ending this week as I go on holiday a week tomorrow so at least I will be relaxed etc xx

still no AF today, ordered some tests on Amazon (5 for £4.50) hope they work. They should arrive today so will test today. Saving the clear blue digital until thurs.

It's so frustrating!! I'm getting obsessed that I feel like I'm going a bit mad and having phantom pregnancy symptoms.
Bad headache yesterday morning, and again today. My boobs feel normal though.
Still have cramps on and off. I have my son off today from school with fever so a bit of a distraction. He's 6, and I can't remember any symptoms I had with him apart from when the morning sickness hit me at 6 weeks and I felt like I'd been drinking a bottle of vodka each night! Was awful.
Funny that I feel I would welcome that feeling right now so I know I am pregnant.

Anyone else been burping lots? Not something I've noticed before- just last few days.

Stay positive ladies.. Really hope we all get these positive results soon.

Hi Jod- welcome. You can probably see how easy it is to get obsessed so s good relaxed approach is good.

Shabz - I'm starting to think theres something wrong with my body also. It's probably all this stress that delays it all. I'm 38, so now thinking I could be going into menopause if AF doesn't arrive and still BFN's!?

Nice to chat to you girls and waiting for good news!! :))

Well nipples are still sore, same old same old, other than feeling tired and thirsty I feel pretty much fine... Got a day off today and I'm so debating whether to test, no af but symptoms feel like they're fading. I don't know if I'm ready for another bfn

RaddersMrs you're so lucky you're going on holiday! Maybe if it doesn't work for you this time, it will when you go on holiday!

Footprints you're still young, i doubt its the menopause!

I'm not having any pregnancy symptoms other than a missed AF and tiredness. X

AnxiousBetty i know i dont think i am either so ive hidden my test until the weekend

Sabzh i know the feeling. I think I'm going to test tomorrow morning as I'll have some time with OH. If not then I'll have to wait till the weekend too xx

Shamelessly place marking for anxiousbetty to test tomorrow

Been waiting all day for the Amazon delivery of tests! Crazy.. Still not arrived and couldn't pop out as my son is poorly today.
Had a very odd moment of dizziness and nausea when I was making lunch, thought it must be as I was hungry. After lunch I got it again so clearly not hunger.
I'm really hoping its positive signs.. And sitting anxiously waiting for the tests! Keep holding on to my pee so it's stronger when the delivery arrives. Hoping I don't wet myself in the meantime. Was going to pee in a jar but not sure how long it stays fresh for?! Ha ha..

Oh no thats annoying Footprints! Hope they have arrived now!
I gave in... Obviously i have 0%will power! And there it was in black and white NEGATIVE oh well will try again another day

BFN for me tonight too.. I know AF isn't due until Saturday but I think it would be showing now wouldn't it if it is an early response test?
So think I need to be realistic on this and think I am out this month!

Raddersmrs you're more in with a chance than i am so stay positve x

Thanks sabzh xx

I'm sorry I've lost track as to where you are in your cycle... Do you have irregular? X

Thats ok! Ive got pcos and have had 2 consecutive periods since giving birth. Im on cd43 now and had bad cramping for the past two weeks but its stopped now.
