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

Massive Congratulations!!!!! How are you feeling? So happy for you! Xxx

sabzh · 06/04/2016 13:42

Im POAS again today just to make sure before i visit the GP! Nervous that it will change to a BFN eeek!!

Jod1985 · 06/04/2016 13:45

Can you see the line as well Sabzh? It's very faint and at times I think I'm imagining it?! Will retest on Friday. Here's the negative version which people say shows lines better?

Oh i definitely can see the line Jod!! Its easy to think you are seeing things, even with minr i had to show my sister incase i was wrong! Xx how many weeks are u?

Jod1985 · 06/04/2016 14:16

I have no idea! I am not thinking of myself as PG yet. I only had my coil removed on 23rd March?! That's 2 weeks ago today. I guess I got incredibly lucky with timing of ovulation. I don't know how they will date me. Maybe they'll take my word on when I know I ovulated which was 28th.

sabzh · 06/04/2016 14:23

Try using a clearblue digital they are quite accurate in telling you how many weeks you are and you probably will get a much clearer line x

sabzh · 06/04/2016 14:25

I still dont believe im pregnant! Its going to take a while to sink in! Feel so bad because ive been having runny eggs and plenty of caffeine since before i found out and i havent had any folic acid either!

Jod1985 · 06/04/2016 15:22

Don't feel bad about the eggs. Fed start taking the folic acid though 😊 I always take it anyway with B12.

I am having the worst week ladies, not only are hormones getting to me but OH has starting thinking that he doesn't want to be a dad yet .... So stuck Sad

Oh no Betty have you told him how you feel? Il sure its just nerves. Maybe he just needs time to get used to the idea x

Jod1985 · 06/04/2016 17:47

Oh no Betty! My hubby didn't see himself as a dad at all and now we are having our third. It's hard for them to imagine it. They get anxious about change. Don't stress he'll come around.

raddersmrs · 06/04/2016 20:13

Sorry to hear Betty. Maybes it's all sinking in for him but I'm sure he will come around. How was he when you told him?

Footprints1 · 07/04/2016 09:16

RaddersMrs, I became a bit obsessed then kept saying well if I was pregnant then this and that.. Etc.. My DH has picked up on my stress over it so I think he's getting a bit put off too. I'm not going to talk much about symptoms and tests now - if it happens then I'll just tell him the good news. I've def seen a change in him over it, don't know if this could be same for you guys?

Footprints1 · 07/04/2016 09:17

Sorry meant Betty not RaddersMrs

Footprints1 · 07/04/2016 09:21

Completely read that all wrong.. It's too early.

Sorry thought RaddersMrs had said that !

Betty, some guys get scared when it's talked about a lot, not sure if you are doing that or not ?? but I know I'd have all the catalogues, magazines etc.. That my OH will start freaking over money and change.

He's got very panicky about money and he isn't really giving me a choice of what to do, he spoke to his parents and then I spoke to them and they told me they think he's just changed his mind and isn't emotionally ready and that it might be a good idea to just try in a couple of years instead .... I have so many mixed emotions. I feel like I have to choose. He's been off with me for a couple of days and won't really speak to me .... It's so unlike him to act like this .... Sad

raddersmrs · 07/04/2016 12:45

Betty if you don't mind me asking, how old is he?
How long did you talk about trying for a baby for, I'm guessing it was a mutual decision???

Jod1985 · 07/04/2016 13:23

Oh Betty, that's so upsetting for you. Gentle hugs. Xxx Maybe he's just having a bit of a wobble. Xxx

AnxiousBetty · 07/04/2016 17:22

Yes I was mutual and we discussed it for a few months. I guess he thought it wouldn't happen so fast and take a few months of trying ....HmmSad

Aww Betty Sad so sorry for what you're going through. Its not that easy now you're actually pregnant though saying you'll try again in a couple of years, surely they realise that?! Its not like a top you've decided you don't want anymore and you can take it back. I really hope he comes round, hopefully just needs time for it to sink in?!xx

raddersmrs · 07/04/2016 21:26

Really hope it all works out Betty and he comes around soon. It must be really stressful knowing what to do next or even knowing what he expects you to do.
We are here if you need to talk xxx

Footprints1 · 07/04/2016 22:06

So Sorry Betty, poor you :(
sounds like he's panicking about it.

I'm sure he'll come round.

It's a tough situation for you because you are already in that position with the decision made. He can't expect you to change your mind now it's happened.

You are so happy and excited about your BFP for him to be like this now would really be unfair on you. Feel for you as I'm sure you just want to be happy and excited and not have to worry about all of this. Big hug xxx
