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

No af but negative test this morning. Am 18 dpo I think so would've thought a line would show if pregnant.
Fx to everyone else!

Well fxed ladies for us all, it's not over yet! You may have implanted really late cherry, I've read posts where ladies haven't had a positive until a week or two after their af was due! Keep positive!

Ahh Chapman you caved in and tested earlier! Are you still going to test tomorrow morning? Let's hope we have a bfp by Monday! Xxx

Yeah anxious I was due on today and I'm regular as clock work so thought I'd test surely by now I'd have enough hgc hormone to pick it up now if I'm 4 weeks surely? Pissed off xxxxx

You may have implanted late like cherry may have done and possibly even I may have done so you're still in with the chance, test again tomorrow maybe or Friday Smile how are your symptoms? Xxx

I'm very much on the fence, nipples are sore but boobs don't feel as swollen anymore even though they've still got their stretch marks! Had a lot of cramping yesterday but none today. That's about it!

Don't give up hope, it's not over until SHE shows up! Xxx

Just had a thought, as I've been so thirst and drinking a lot even my fmu is still a bit diluted. Could this be a problem with testing? ShockHmmxx

Shouldn't make a difference to fmu. As long as your urine is yellow you're ok. Which tests are you using? The cheapies and even frers are not so sensitive at the moment (despite saying they're 10miu). Superdrug early response tests showing the results earlier than others

AnxiousBetty · 15/03/2016 14:01

I have noticed it's still quite diluted even in the morning because I am drinking so much. I may have to stop myself drinking before bed! I picked up some really cheapy ones from Wilkos but they are 25mlu so when I used one it was way way too early anyway but have got 3 asda early response tests left after using one on Monday morning and getting bfn! Might pick up some superdrug ones tomorrow then if I can! X

Betty are these usual signs of AF for you? This could be a sign of you're feeling sick, I've felt quite sick today, but at the same time super hungry!! Odd Hmm
Still no AF for me, going to test Thurs morning I think.
Chapman stay positive, if no AF you're still in Smile

AnxiousBetty · 15/03/2016 19:15

No I usually just get bad cramping 2 days before af shows and haven't really noticed if I get any cm before af normally. I don't usually feel queasy or sick beforehand. Either af is very different this month or it's a good sign! Fxed! Xx

I'm hoping so! I've been craving chocolate over the past couple days and had Nutella and crisps today! Weird!
Well I'm a bit mixed up as to when i ovulated because neither me nor DBF really noted down when my last af was! But I think
I should be 13dpo tomorrow so gonna do one tomorrow morning and then again Friday morning Grin when are you testing? Xx

Haha, Nutella and crisps, you must be pregnant Wink
We're the same then, I'm 13dpo tomorrow. Going to test Thursday I think, give AF a couple of days to make sure she's not showing up.
Feeling a little excited, I know I shouldn't until BFP, but feels like we've been trying forever. At the same time feeling quite nervous Confused

AnxiousBetty · 15/03/2016 20:25

I was thinking that but spoke to DBF and he said he's had crisps dipped in chocolate mouse before so maybe not Grin

Maybe I should wait with you too till Thursday, I've been testing too much and I feel the same as you, with all the symptoms I feel like it's such a positive but I'm trying not to get excited as I'm so nervous for another bfn Sad xx

It's so hard to resist testing though isn't it. On one hand a really just want to know!! But on the other I don't want to test too early and get BFN Confused plus I only have one test left Grin lol
If you do test in the morning, keep us posted Smile

Hi girls sorry been mega busy at work today and the gym!
Had some positive news from a girl I work with she got 4 negative tests after her AF was due then her positive came a week after she was due so there's still hope for us all!
I feel like I've got acid in my throat and my stomach feels constantly empty but apart from that no more symptoms! How are you wicker and anxious? Xxx

Report
AnxiousBetty · 15/03/2016 21:05

Oh no wicker! I have 3 asda tests left and 2 Wilkos tests so Im planning to test every three days with those and see what I get! So if I keep getting bfn's it could be 15 days from tomorrow when I take my last test Grin

Will you go out and get some more tests if you need to?
It is so hard to keep positive and not test after getting a bfn! But we must keep positive till af shows!
How are your symptoms tonight?

Hey Chapman! Wow that is good news although I hope I don't have to wait that long to get some good news! I'm a bit impatient! Well my nipples are still sore if I press them with my fingers (lol Grin) and I've had back pain, sickness, a lot more peeing and thirst today! But still thinking af might show xxx

I have one sainsburys test left. Yes if I get a BFN and still AF doesn't show up I'll go out and buy more.
Yes we must stay positive!! Grin
So my breasts are still very sore, all over. Nipples feeling prickly/tickly/itchy. Felt a bit sick on and off. Still got creamy CM. Think they're all my symptoms.
Oh that's good to know chapman! I guess the hormone doesn't get strong enough for some to test early. How late are you now?

Love that women can talk about all of these things together, as you don't ever want to tell anyone you know you're TTC. We're on this journey together ladies Smile

I love that we're all in the same boat right now! Still no AF but also no symptoms of anything. Just buying more tests online.

Your symptoms sound so good wicker hopefully it's bfp for you! When are you testing? Since last week I haven't had any cm at all I'm so dry down there!
I actually feel a bit down now as I thought I was due on today but then when I'm looking at my cycle length the last one was 34 days but usually it's 28.. I feel a bit out of place and it maybe looks Asif I'm not due on Til the 21st so maybe I am testing to early or AF isn't here yet because I've got my dates mixed up! Oh I'm getting mega stressed now thank god AV got you ladies to rant to haha! Xxx
