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

Your symptoms are all really positive! I'm 31

Betty that's the one way I would describe my boobs, they feel very heavy and full. Do they hurt more than they usually do with AF? Not that I want to get you excited, but symptoms sound like mine

I completely agree, it's so nice to talk to others in the same situation. Like you say, don't want to tell other people you're trying etc

Xx

I've woken up with AF wanting to arrive anytime now. Its been a 47 day cycle this month.
Heavy swollen boobs do sound like a sign

Yes wicker, they feel heavy full and the pain is almost like they are bruised when I press on them, they feel very different when I'm on af, af doesn't often make them painful just a bit bigger!
I am glad I can compare slightly with you although the I am trying not to get excited.
My cramps today really felt like af was coming and I woke up thinking she had arrived in the night but still nothing!
Xx

Me too Betty..
Was almost sure it was coming last night and early this morning. Absolutely nothing!?

When I lean forward &bend over to touch toes my nipples hurt when bra us off. Try it? See if same for u?

Just had a bath and felt very queasy although I had breakfast, but not sure if it was the steam? Feel hungry and sick?

Sabzh- not over yet..

Wicker- do u still get the CM?

Yes Betty I am finding they're much more painful than AF boobs. Am excited for you all testing again yes footprints am still getting the CM, think it lasts throughout the pregnancy doesn't it?! I could be wrong though. Still have to check the paper every time I go to the toilet just to check is CM and not blood

Xx

Footprints- when I bent over without a bra on last night my boobs and nipples did hurt but as that was the first day my boobs started hurting I don't know if it was just a thing that happened

I still keep thinking af is going to turn up, I can't even quite believe the possibility of being pg quite yet.

I am still always thirsty and needing the loo etc but I'm not noticing it as much and there was only clear cm today which was watery....

Wicker - do your boobs hurt all the time or is it more when you push on them? Xx

Yep my boobs only started hurting yesterday too. Keep going a wee also.

Please please please let us all get BFP's !!

They do seem to hurt in waves I guess, some days aren't quite as bad as others. Sounds silly, but we drove up a really bumpy road yesterday, and I had to hold onto them to stop them moving so much and am wearing a vest top to sleep in with support. Much more comfy :)
No I know, there is nothing worse than getting your hopes up to get a BFN. I guess it's trying to figure out what is 'normal' for your body to notice changes?! But coming off the pill you won't have much experience in how your body is before AF. I was the the same!xx

Well mine were sore this morning but they've eased up now but my cramps have come back badly, when I went to the loo there was clear sticky cm again, my body is everywhere at the moment!
Still very very emotional though and tired!
X

Been feeling not myself today and i tested and to my dismay i got a BFN again no AF even though i was convinced it arrived this morning. X

Sorry Sabzh xx

Felt ill all day - came down with the virus my boy had in the week. Couldn't eat dinner or any chocolate as felt so nauseous. Thinking it's just the virus.

Cramps have gone, just a delicate sensitive Tummy to touch. Everything aches been sleeping on and off today. Rubbish!!

On a positive - still no AF.
Tempted to test in the morning if I still feel nauseous, as frightened to take some cold/flu tablets just incase I was pregnant. Read somewhere you shouldn't take anything for first few weeks? Not sure if true?

Wicker/ I remember when pregnant with both boys I had to wear sports not wired bra's in bed too! With slightly larger pants for comfort! Everything felt swollen up to 14 weeks! X

I have had the worst cramps today, they've been very painful and very similar to af symptoms so I'm thinking I may get a visit from the witch in the next day or two!
Boobs are still sore but not as bad as yesterday, feel bruised and swollen and heavy still!
The clear cm has changed to white again!

Still feel in limbo as to where my body is taking me!
I'm tired but haven't been very nauseous at all really!

Happy Easter ladies xx

Yes footprints I can understand why, they're so painful at the moment, and I'm sure it's only going to get worse. They need all the support they can get

Betty I really hope you find out one way or the other soon, it's horrible not knowing

Xx

Also I'm sure you're not supposed to take anything other than paracetamol throughout the pregnancy are you?! This is only from people I've known being pregnant telling me though, so could be wrong xx

It is really horrible, I'm going to test on Wednesday so if I don't get any af in the next 3 days, by then I'm definitely supposed to have a visit from her!
Do you still get cramps wicker? And what are they like if you do? Xx

BFN this morning despite the queasiness!
Terrible virus gave me weird dreams and a restless night.

Fed up now.. Waiting around.

Going to the docs on Tues/wed as something can't be right..day 39 in cycle! 17dpo. Never been this late. Last month was 28 days in cycle. Feel rotten too.. No tests left now, so got to wait for a bump, or the AF!

Happy Easter!! Not like we can get at it like rabbits either feeling like this.

Wicker- yes think only paracetamol is allowed.

Betty fingers crossed she stays away
Yes still getting funny twinges every so often, they sort of come and go. How are your symptoms today?
Footprints hope you get some answers! So frustrating not knowing. Either want to get a BFP or AF to turn up so at least you can get into trying again next month.

Xx

I hope she does. My symptoms generally are okay but my cramps are getting more and more painful like af but they only last 30 seconds at a time boobs are more sore today too! Just want to know either way what's going on really! Xx

I thought my Period would have arrived by now. I imagined really it would start as soon as I had the Mirena removed but it hasn't. I hope I don't have to wait ages for it to return.

Hi Jod, bet you are just as frustrated as us waiting for your day 1 in cycle! Hope it comes soon for u.

No symptoms this afternoon apart from a cold! No tummy pains, boobs feel fine now. Hubby says we should just do some baby dancing anyway, all this waiting around we could be missing ovulation time at this rate :)
Assuming ovulation still takes place if no AF?

I'm not too frustrated as distracted this weekend. We are hoping maybe the witch doesn't arrive and I get my BFP before she gets here. So like you just having grown up hugs a plenty!

Hi Everyone, it's so lovely reading your comments here. I'm new and ttc and not keeping track of anything, so no ovulation tests or anything! eek. this is the 5th month we have been ttc without taking it too seriously and still nothing. So next week I will be being a lot stricter with myself and my diary. Last week my period came late by over a week and then i only had a 2 day period, which is always strange for me as i bleed for 7-9 days usually. So maybe it's a sign. fingers crossed. any advice from you all would be great. I've always over-read my symptoms before, in the hope i would fall pregnant, or maybe even made it up in my head lol. you know what google is like! So i'm hoping with my change of diet and life style it will really help. wish me luck! :)

Hi Samantha! Good luck to you on your ttc journey! Keep us updated on your progress! Hopefully we will all get our bfp! Xx
