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

Well I used a clear blue ov test & had a static smiley face on 11th (cd23)(peak fertility)and then again on 13th (cd25)of March. Was an empty circle on 15th (low fertility)So according to that AF should have def come by Easter weekend the latest.
I had all the pains etc.. But nothing.

I tested yesterday and was bfn. So don't think it'll happen now. Been really ill with flu that every symptom I had I now think was the blasted virus. Was sick this morning but my son had been sick also. I couldn't sleep on my boobs last night but again think it's all the aches and pains I have.

I ordered some cheapy tests as none left and wil test when they arrive today or tomorrow but my whole cycle is now over 40 days since last period! As I ovulated really late. Never ever been like that.

Have booked appt to see doc next week.

*was supposed to say cycle is all over the place!

Well my cheap tests just arrived so did the ovulation ones. BFN today. Out of interest I did an ovulation one and I got two lines !!??!
So now it saying I'm ovulating. Although no EWCM or cramps? What the?????

Really confused now.. Will test the ov again later. Feel ill so don't really fancy any baby dance

Aww Footprints im sorry to hear you're ill and that it wasa Bfn for you today. On the brightside if you have ovulated today then its not over! x

Footprints sometimes ovulation tests come up positive with two lines if you are pregnant before a pregnancy test does.
I'm not saying this is the case but I had the same thing happen and googled it and it does happen if it stays consistently dark. Mine went light again then I got BFN and AF.
How dark is the line??? Have you done another one??

Just googled it myself and yes quite a few have. I did two tests, one this morning and one about 6 this eve, both were dark lines - same as the control line. (Just checked the bin and they still dark lines) Surely I'd be showing a positive on a HPT by now? I'll do another Ov test tomorrow to see if the line will be a lighter line or not? I really don't feel I'm ovulating as def not have any EWCM which is usually the case.

Still no AF, and def no signs of that either.

Really think it's my body re- adjusting to no pill..

Apparently it can pick it up a little earlier than some of the tests but if it's consistently dark I would say it should be showing on a pregnancy test as faint line shortly if it is positive.

It's a bit of a guessing game until AF shows or BFP isn't it ... Hopefully all will be clear for you soon xx

So my doctors dismissed me and said they won't see me but I have to get an appointment at the hospital in a couple of weeks instead ...

Why did they dismiss you Betty?

They didn't say, just said they will give me the hospital birthing centre number but not an appointment with my doctor

I've been following this thread and pleased so see some some bfps!

You don't need a doctors appt now to confirm a pregnancy. All they would get you to do is wee on a stick, and they know that in 99% of cases you've already done that (several times for some !). Instead to pass you over to midwifery, but again nothing really happens untill you get your 'booking in' date which you usually have to phone up to get yourself. That is usually before the scan where they go through your medical history, weight. You and test your urine for protein. Then you get your date for your scan and only then do you then start to see the midwives regularly.

Having said all that, different NHS regions will do things slightly differently, but the usual gps don't get involved with pregnancies unless it's something the midwives can't deal wth (or prescribe for)

Best of luck with everything everyone. It brings back lots of memories reading your stories.

Footprints have you done any further tests??

AnxiousBetty they did the same to me, the GP just referred me to the hospital of my choice. Then had to wait for them to get back to me with a booking date.

Yes footprints have you taken any more?

I was going to test this morning but my DH forgot to pick one up last night. So will do later or tomorrow morning. Got a drs app on Wednesday so i'll see what they say. They will probably fob me off as they usually do. X

Hi all,

Did an ov test yesterday and it was a bit lighter line than the test control. So no BFP, and no OV.

Bad cramps today and pink streak after a wee so think AF is finally coming. Was disappointed as 22dpo without an AF or a BFP and the whole cycle was over 40 days. (Felt like was in the wilderness all this time searching for answers)!

At least I can now start the cycle again... Was recommended some oil of evening Primrose tabs. Positive thinking for April :)

It is slightly different here. We have what's called combined care so 50% GP, 50% hospital

Omg!!!!!!!!

Wow congratulations sabzh!! You must be so pleased to finally know what's going on...This must be a lucky thread xx

Omg such a strong positive!!!!!!! Congratulations!!!!!!

I cant believe it i honestly can not believe it at all! Thank you guys! I honestly gave up.

Can I ask Sabzh and Betty have you notice your urine smells different? I know weird question but I have noticed a different smell from mine and wondering if it's a symptom? Am cramping a lot this evening hole it's not AF coming

Oh wow congratulations sabzh!! How late was you in the end??

So pleased, you are lucky ladies! :))

Going to keep myself on this thread so I can get some of your baby dust luck for next few week :))

Jod it's not something I've noticed, though everyone is different :) how many DPO are you now?xx

I'm not sure wicker as I have had a period since I had the mirena removed it's likely just an AF symptom

Im not sure when i ovulated but i am on cd54-20 days overdue. So it can still happen for you too. Stay positive. Sending baby dust to you all. This is a lucky thread! Xx
I havent noticed any smell from my urine tbh. X

Congratulations Sabz!!!

It took quite a long time for it to show positive then didn't it even though you were really late!
So happy for you xxx

Thank you! It took ages to show but now im quite worried that my hcg levels are not high enough
