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

Oh anxious bless you bet that's hard to live with! Can you work etc?? Yeah I get very snappy and annoyed that another one of my eggs has died and I'm not pregnant haha!!
Yes it's 2 days the longest 2 days I think! I either want AF to show tomorrow or just not show at all haha! We can do it!

Loki - I use them one step Amazon ones so not to bad with money haha it's just hard not to test I have no willpower when it gets to 9/10 dpo xx

It can be yeah but it's not too bad now, working is alright I just have to take it easy and have half days every now and then and get nice early nights so I can sleep easy! I'm sure it will get worse if I am of though! Yes I know that feeling very well! But we just have to keep trying! I know this weekend has taken forever to go by because I'm so impatient to take a test! I haven't had much cramping or anything this evening yet so bit worried I'm imagining it all! Hmm

No it's not very nice wicker! But it's just something I've learnt to live with. There's no real treatment for it other than just living a healthy lifestyle and hoping it clears itself up:( I'm almost certain I'm gonna get a bfn tomorrow as in convinced it's too early but I guess there's no real harm when I have 4 tests waiting for me!

At least by the sounds of it you don't let it get you down, which is totally the right attitude to have Smile
Absolutely, you have nothing to lose. Would be lovely if you could get the result together Smile

Well I can't let it get me down too much, it can be difficult but I have to try and keep positive because if I don't I just feel worse!
I hope so it would be nice to get the result while I'm with DBF. I'm very much on the fence as to what the result will be.

Anyone sometimes have days where they're symptoms are less than other days and also days where they almost completely disappear? This evening I just don't feel pregnant, just a bit bloated and swollen SadEnvy

Well ladies I don't know what to think.... Just took a test with fmu and my asda early response tests and it's a BFN Sada little heartbroken not going to lie. I really thought I was. Maybe all this early cramping really is just af on her way Sad

oh no anxious!!!
maybe its just too early to pick up! i have looked on forums and some ladies have had bfn up until AF has been late it all just depends on bodies and HGC hormone! dont give up! dont give up til AF shows her face :)

It's hard not to be disappointed but I am only 10po (I think Hmm) so it may be to early. I'm going to test on Wednesday so I'll be 12dpo and then Friday at 14dpo and just hope for the best. Are you still going to test Wednesday? X

I have another 3 tests so I guess I'll use those up and just have to wait and see. I've had some sharp ish cramps on my left lower side and still bloated but don't seem to be as thirsty and haven't peed much today. Maybe it's all in my head!
I hope we both get our bfp by the end of the week though! Keep us updated! Xx

Oh sorry Betty, but like the other ladies said it could be too early still. When is AF due?

AnxiousBetty · 14/03/2016 13:34

Well I thought it was due the end of this week like between Wednesday and Friday BUT .... I've had a quick calculation and I'm not entirely sure when I ovulated now, I'm making things worse by over thinking but I think I could only be 7dpo and not 10 dpo which makes everything very confusing and the tww even longer for me! I highly doubt I'll even get a positive if I tested on Wednesday. Have no clue what to do! Xx

Well I used a test calculator and it looks like I may have to wait till Friday to get a reliable test result! But it's possible that's 2 or 3 days law so hoping Wednesday is a good time! Xx

Good luck op! I had a bfn with my last pregnancy at 10dpo and positive at 12dpo. With this pregnancy I got a bfp at 10dpo. You're not out yet! If you got the dates wrong you still have an excellent chance. All your symptoms sound good. I had leg cramps that early with my pregnancies too. Also had a pinching/pulling sensation under my belly button. That's how I always know when I'm pregnant!

Thank you jw35 I'm really hoping that by Friday I will have my bfp! If not then af should of showed up by then I'm sure! I'll just have to wait and see what happened by the end of the week! Xx

Well after a lot of research and the most likely time for me to get a correct result is between Wednesday and Friday so here the waiting begins xx

Been there anxious. The month before my bfp I was so convinced I was pregnant because of my symptoms that when af arrived I found myself googling if you could be pregnant and have af! I actually got my bfp the next cycle and I was virtually symptomless before af was due. Symptoms kicked in with a vengeance after that but I miscarried at 13 weeks. Ttc is so hard because you want it so bad. Hope you get your positive on Friday x

So Betty, you're definitely still in with a chance Smile
It is very difficult working out dates etc. AF is due for me tomorrow, so time will tell. Still got sore breasts, pinching pains in my stomach and creamy CM.
Chapman hope AF stays away for you Smile
Loki, sorry about your MC Thanks

I think I may be out guys I've been having very similar cramps to af today and feel so extremely emotional, I'm pretty sure af will turn up by Wednesday. But still trying to keep my hopes up and if not there's always next month xx
