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

Ive done so much symptom spotting I think everything can be a sign now! Think I'm going insane Grin I read that in early pregnancy it changes from low and hard like the end of your nose to little higher and softer like lips! But mines still pretty nose like! Hmm xx

No I'm the same as Chapman, I'd have no idea what was normal if I tried checking now Hmm

Are any of you taking pregnancy/conception vitamins?? I've only been taking folic acid, but heard that is the most important thing?

I haven't really been taking anything yet as I haven't been ttc for long but might get something for next month if the witch shows her face this month xx

I was terrible anxious I used to forget at weekends then take like 4/5 at a time I'm so shocked I've managed 5 years without getting pregnant cause me and DH are quite active hah!
Hopefully Hun but doubt it I never get any luck! Fx for us xxx

Haha I was exactly the same, always forgot to take them my pills!
I was told to take folic acid as soon as we started trying...If you do get a positive result definitely start taking 400mg of folic acid daily. It doesn't help conception, but it helps the baby's spine/nervous system develop healthily and prevents birth defects such as spina bifida.
Fxed this is a BFP thread Grin

Oh dear Chapman I don't think I was that bad! I think I took 3 in a day once but that was my worst! I'm still surprised I haven't ended up pregnant by now!
Fxed for our Wednesday testing! Xx

Oh god I better go out and get some then if I get my bfp! If not this month then onto the next ladies! Although if any of you are superstitious I saw 3 pairs of magpies today! 1 for sorrow and 2 for joy and all that! Fxed that's a sign Grin xx

Yes I would go and get some Smile I've only got supermarket bought ones, long as they've got 400mg of folic acid in they're fine Smile
It's D day for me tomorrow, fingers crossed she's stays away! I swear though, my breasts have never felt so heavy and sore Confused hopefully is a good sign...as well as the magpies Wink

AnxiousBetty · 14/03/2016 22:13

I will have a browse and see what I can get! Which supermarket did you get them from?
D day for me on Thursday so fingers crossed she stays away for both of us!
And how funny I was just about to say my nipples have never ever been this sore and sensitive! Hmm xx

I just got them from sainsburys, only about 80p I think Smile
Omg same!! Breasts feel very heavy and sore, nipples very sensitive and get a feeling every so often which feels like lots of little needles pricking them. Haha funny way to put it, but that's the only way I can think of to describe the feeling.
Good luck testing cherry Smile

AnxiousBetty · 14/03/2016 22:31

Sounds promising then wicker! Hopefully that's a good sign for us both! Although mine are heavy but only the nipples are sore! Definitely not a typical period sign for me! Grinxx

Are you getting any CM?

AnxiousBetty · 14/03/2016 22:40

I do hope so! Fxed! Well I got some White creamy cm for 2 days and then it went to ewcm again and its gradually reduced over the weekend so I'm almost dry now. Not sure that's such a good sign. Have you had any?

I've had creamy white CM for a while now, wasn't as much yesterday, but still there. D day today, let's hope the witch stays away!
Sorry you got BFN Cherry! Have you got AF yet?

Report
AnxiousBetty · 15/03/2016 06:58

Don't give up hope cherry! It may be too early and it's not over till the witch shows her face!


My creamy cm kind of stopped after two days so I don't know what to interpret that as!

Well I woke up feeling much the same but with a sore throat and nipples still sore with back ache and cramps. Either the witch is making me suffer before she appears or its all good signs!

That's what I was going to say, if AF hasn't shown up, you're still in Smile
Let's keep positive ladies!
I've still got sore breasts and creamy CM. Felt slightly nauseous when eating my breakfast this morning, but that's probably just coincidence.
Fxed everyone SmileSmileSmile
