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

Yes is great we all have each other to rant to and talk about things involving tmi
If we get BFP's we'll have to start a thread in the pregnancy department
Thank you Chapman, hope you're right, feels like we've been trying forever. I was planning on testing Thursday morning. Then AF will be 2 days late.
Oh that's annoying you have got muddled dates. Do you remember going on an day/evening out that could help pin point an approx date? Only I forgot one month. had I remember it was a pain in was on for this party we went to, then looked at the calendar to see when it was and hey presto, approx period date xx

[AnxiousBetty]

Well I hope we are just a bit late on our calculations or mixed up with dates then Chapman, I know I just really want to know what's going on with my body right now as it's quite confusing! I'm getting stressed about it all which won't help AF if she's late anyway!
I think I will test tomorrow but I'm not expecting anything as I still think it could be too early if my dates are mixed up.
So glad I have you ladies! If it's on to the next month for us we must all keep eachother updated then too!

I haven't had any creamy cm for a while wicker so I'm sort of thinking af is gonna turn up because of that but I have read that ewcm can also happen before a bfp. I've some very uncomfortable sort of pressure in my left ovary/ lower abdomen at the moment making me feel a bit queasy! your symptoms do sound positive wicker. Let's hope you get your bfp!


Don't give up Chapman, just keep testing ever few days as you may have implanted late or got mixed up with dates! You still have a chance!

My left side seems to be a bit more bloated than my right but I don't know if that's because I have an appendicectomy beginning of February! xx

[WickerHearts]

Sorry Chpaman I think miss read your post, I thought it said you couldn't remember when your last period was, then read it again and realised I read it completely wrong, have no idea how I got that haha!!xx

[WickerHearts]

Betty I've had so many weird pains, strangely more on my left side too. Must stay positive
TMI alert!!...I'm getting quite a it of CM now, so much so I keep having to pop to the loo and check AF hasn't shown up paranoid it could happen at any point!!
Xx

[AnxiousBetty]

Ladies do I test in the morning!? I am stuck between the want of knowing and the heart breaking suspected BFN! xx

[AnxiousBetty]

Maybe our left side is lucky then wicker! Hopefully that's the side the egg came from and where it's settled now! Fxed for us! I'm still thinking af will show up any day now!

[WickerHearts]

Morning ladies...so I found a cheapie test I had left over so thought I'd give it a go (heard they're my actually that good for being sensitive?!) and got the faintest if faint lines ...can't get it to show up in a pic! Will definitely use the better test tomorrow morning Our left side could well be lucky Betty! Are you testing ladies?xx

[WickerHearts]

I means not good for being sensitive! Typing error....xx

[AnxiousBetty]

Congratulations wicker! Giving me some hope that I will get my bfp soon! I'm just about to test! Xx

[AnxiousBetty]

Bfn again.... Losing hope now, think I might have to go out and buy some lady supplies as I think she might just be late x

[Murphyslaw21]

Hang in there

[WickerHearts]

Stay positive Betty, no AF means you're still in with a chance :) it was a proper squinter for me this morning, hope it's not given me false hope xx

[cnchapmanxx]

Morning girls!
Aw congrats wicker!!! Doesn't matter if it's a squinter they all count! Try another one tomoror! I haven't tested this morn only cause I'm driving myself crazy with testing so I'm just gonna wait either AF will turn up or if I still don't have a period by Tuesday il test! Sick of getting bfn haha zxxxx

[AnxiousBetty]

If you're nervous wicker just test after 2-3 days and the line is sure to be a lot darker then! Xx

I'm with you Chapman, I'm just going to keep a log of how i feel symptom wise and test again on Saturday or Monday morning, this mornings bfn just made me feel so down xx

[cnchapmanxx]

aw anxious i know how you feel.
I dont feel pregnant i just feel like crap cause i want to be but know i probably arent! its just the hope that kills you! Il test again saturday i think if i make it that far haha! cheer up babe :) xxx

[AnxiousBetty]

I think we are very much in the same boat Chapman! Pinpointed exactly how I feel there! I'm getting very AF like cramps this morning so I think she will be with me by the end of today! xxx

[AnxiousBetty]

Still no af ladies, had some very much like af cramping today and bbs are still swollen and nipples still sore and very thirsty..... trying to resist buying some superdrug early result tests right now xx

[cnchapmanxx]

Same here anxious! I'm defo resisting testing! Just because I've worked it out I don't know if I'm a 28 day cycle or 32 so waiting til Tuesday at the latest! Xxxxx

[fruityb]

Good luck ladies. Been reading with interest!

Will say don't overdo the symptom spotting. I'm 17 weeks now and aside from the tiredness and the growing baby bump a few weeks ago I wouldn't have even known I was pregnant. And when I got my BFP I was two days late but just knew something was different.

Don't test till you're actually late would be my advice. It took over two years for mine to turn up and I broke my own heart every month when AF turned up even though all my symptoms said otherwise!

Good luck to you all and I hope it's good news :)

[cnchapmanxx]

Thankyou fruityb!

thats such good news that somerone else has had negatives until being late haha! i thought we were all going mad! what did u test with? and did you only test after you were late? i ghate synptom spotting but just want to know either way! and good luck with the rest of your pregnancy hun xx

[AnxiousBetty]

Hiya fruity!
I think I'm the worst for symptom spotting because I want to know so badly and am I little unsure about dates etc so not 100% sure when I'm going to be late.
One of my friends got pregnant and had no symptoms and didn't even test until she was 6 weeks gone!

I've spoken to my DBF and we've decided to hold off on my testing until at least Monday as I'm sure af is supposed to come some time this week.
Fxed it won't though!
Good luck with your pregnancy!

Xx

I didn't take a pregnancy test until I got my BFP so haven't seen a BFN just know that AF used to turn up bang on time every month and upset me. So to be late in the first place was different. And I just felt different.

I tested with the tesco one where you get two in a pack. Positive within 30 seconds! took the other 2 days later first thing in the morning just to make sure of it. I had no symptoms at all and had actually resigned myself to going back on the pill as we're getting married next year and it was hitting a point where it would be an issue if I was pregnant. So it happened right at the last possible month it could have!

I temped, did ovulation sticks, tracked everything and it just caused me upset. Stopped thinking about it and it happened soon thereafter.

I know it's hard but just relax and don't think "ooh my boobs hurt" or "was that a twinge?" As its never what you hope! And I can assure you the way your boobs feel in early pregnancy is nothing like AF trouble. It's a whole new level!!

[WickerHearts]

Hi Fruity
Well must say I do feel different this month to 'normal'. AF was due yesterday, I know it is only a day late, but my boobs never hurt for this long. Usually is only a day or two, but it's been almost a week now. And they REALLY hurt. I also never get CM before AF. This is a very different month for me.
Just hope my body isn't giving us false hope.
Am 2 days late tomorrow so am going to test
