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

Tests finally arrived. BFN!! Was completed deflated.. Been sulking ever since. Wish I hadn't tested now. My hubs says to wait a bit longer..
I suppose I still have a few days to get into the 14dpo plus, so maybe I'll wait now. Still no AF though. Tummy cramps as though it will happen any min but have felt like this for a week and a half. What will be will be I guess.

Holding on for positive tests for u girls .. :) xx

Jod1985 · 22/03/2016 20:51

Footprints I really was convinced AF was coming due to cramps when I was PG with DS2. It may still be too early!

Tomorrow is the day for me...coil coming out!!!

Footprints1 · 22/03/2016 21:23

Holding on to that thought, thanks Jod.

Hope tomorrow goes well for you, never had coil, so not sure if it's comfortable to come out.

Plenty of love dust for you and your partner - go with the flow..

sabzh · 22/03/2016 21:39

Hope it goes well Jod!

I have a feeling out of us who are still posting and waiting to get a BFP... I'm going to be the one who is left on this thread with a BFN whilst everyone else gets their BFP! Lol x

Jod1985 · 22/03/2016 21:45

Ah sabzh, I haven't even started to TTC so don't feel like that. Anything could happen tomorrow. Also I'm wondering when I will have time to TTC! With two boys already and hubby works nights I dunno when we will have time.

raddersmrs · 22/03/2016 21:50

Aw sabzh don't feel like that.
If we have BFN This month we are not trying next month so won't be until May then so we will be a little while.

Just watching one born every minute! Love this programme

sabzh · 22/03/2016 21:50

Thanks Jod but luck or good things are never on my side! SadI hear many stories about people who have their coil removed and getting pregnant straight away so I'm sure it will happen for you. Maybe TTC in the mornings?

sabzh · 22/03/2016 21:53

And il still be trying!
Love that programme too! Watched it alot when i was preggers with DD1 and trying to get myself prepared with what to expect!

sabzh · 22/03/2016 22:43

The more i think about it the more i think its probably my body trying to regulate itself again as opposed to being pregnant. Did this happen to anyone? X

Sabz I don't think you have anything to worry about I've been here the longest and still waiting for af or my bfp!
I had cramps for so long but now they've kind of faded and I just get like one mini one a day and I'm so super emotional I'm starting to think I may get af soon. Yet I had white cm and still sore nipples which isn't normal so!?
Argh I just want I know what's happening with my body now!

Jod1985 · 22/03/2016 23:03

Have you ever tried herbal supplements ladies? I used Angus Cactus and dong quad when I was planning to TTC Ds2.
Nope mornings won't work as he's not home til kids are awake Hmm

Jod1985 · 22/03/2016 23:07

Will just have to DTD on his two nights off and hope they coincide with ovulation at some point

sabzh · 22/03/2016 23:17

I really hope its because im pregnant. I really dont want to pay for treatment or go through treatment if i can just get pregnant naturally!!!

Pregnancy and period symptoms are so similar and its so frustrating ... Just want to know either way. My cramps are slightly returning now.

Haven't taken any vitamins tbh i am so rubbish at remembering to take them!

And boo to not being able to find the time Jod, maybe if you track your ovulation and it coincides with the weekend you can book a naughty visit to a hotel Wink

I'm sure everything is fine sabzh, try not to get yourself too panicky coz that could make af late even more!

I poas this morning and not to my surprise it was another bfn and I've got some cramps this morning so thinking af really is coming, I'm not testing again now unless she's not arrived in a weeks time. I am dreading her arrival!

Fxed for us though ladies!

raddersmrs · 23/03/2016 10:14

BFN this morning for me too. Not doing any more tests now and will await AF this weekend!

Footprints1 · 23/03/2016 10:40

BFN for me too. Still few cramps, no AF yet.

Jod1985 · 23/03/2016 10:48

Sabzh how long have you been TTC? Try to relax. It's frustrating isn't it all this uncertainty. I like to be in control of everything. I hate to wait for anything.

sabzh · 23/03/2016 11:16

Aww im so sorry ladies but there is still hope! I was online googling and googled too mich and started self diagnosing myself with all sorts GrinConfusedBlush

Looks like we are all in the same boat ladies! Let's keep positive xx

raddersmrs · 23/03/2016 20:09

Definite have to keep positive!

Ok so tonight I used an opk test... I've no idea why just thought I would...to see if my cycles were a mess or anything.
And there is quite a dark line on there.. Not as dark as the control but I did one a few days ago and there was nothing. And I have read about lines coming up on opk when pregnant! So now I'm googling away obsessively... And have no pregnancy tests to see if anything shows up.

Has anyone else tried an opk to see what they get?!

I know this sounds so ridiculous and obsessive Sad

sabzh · 23/03/2016 20:13

Sounds promising RaddersMrs...Smile
I havent used an opk before sorry!
Isnt it just the way when you need or want something you dont have any but have lots when you dont need them!

Jod1985 · 23/03/2016 20:40

Coil is out ladies!!!

sabzh · 23/03/2016 20:47

How did it go? X

Jod1985 · 23/03/2016 21:05

It was painless for me. Popped straight out so I worried over nothing. Light cramps at the minute. Already I feel better though. Hope the hormone crash doesn't happen me. I asked if it was ok to TTC straight away and she said yes.

sabzh · 23/03/2016 21:31

Thats good. I guarantee you get your BFP soon! Exciting!
