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

Evening girls!
No need to report getting s tiny bit of cm but don't know whether that's just waiting for AF to show. Had my friend who's a midwife look into my cycle and she thinks I've got all my dates wrong and I only ovulated on 5th March so I could possibly only be 12dpo which would make it hard to test on them Amazon one step ones and probably why when j was testing on the frer last week it wasn't picking anything up as I was only 7dpo on Saturday 😂😂 so I'm gearing myself up for AF on Saturday now! XXXX

Sorry news*

I agree, the Amazon One Step tests aren't very sensitive at all are they. From experience the ovulation tests I found really helpful, the pregnancy tests however, wasn't very impressed xx

How funny is that Chapman I worked my dates out and think i ovulated anytime from the 5th to the 8th so I'm in the same situation! Testing Saturday or Monday again I think!
Xxx

The ovulation ones are really good wicker but the pregnancy ones are fkin shit!!
Did you track your ov this month Hun? Xx

Anxious aw bless you! I'm gonna test on Saturday if she doesn't show but I'm never this lucky! Xx

I'm fairly sure I ovulated on 3rd March. Yes I tracked it this month using the ovulation tests, found them pretty good. But yes, the pregnancy tests, rubbish! Have you got any others to use Chapman? I hope you ladies get your BFP's too xx

Congratulations! Lovely news.

AF still awol. I think I have thrush which I sometimes get at the end of the period...however I've just taken a course of antibiotics so it may be down to that.

I didn't fully track my ovulation this month so maybe I should do that next month if the witch decides to show up!
I'm debating whether to test in the morning even though the likelihood of a bfp is low.... So tempting ....

Xx

Wicker can you remember what day was your most +ive opk! I've just bought some more for me to use next month! No Hun I haven't and I'm working all day tomorrow and then going out with the work mates so unless she doesn't show tomorrow then it'l have to be Saturday but then I'm at work all day doing overtime! In reality I could pick one up on my dinner but I'm not because I genuinely don't have any more symptoms and I'm never lucky!! Xxxx

Thank you Cherry!
Betty I have no idea if it definitely helped us tracking ovulation, but it is the first month we have and it seemed to work
Chapman I got my positive OPK on 2nd March, so actually could have ovulated 3/4th March. Sure they say 12-36after the positive you ovulate. We DTD every other day from about CD8/9, then every day for a few days when I got the positive OPK. Read something called SMEP on another post which interested me, so sort of gave it a go. Lots of luck ladies xx

Came on this morning girls. Gutted isn't the word! Worked out my cycle is 31 days so think I didn't time my dtd right this month. Must have ovulated on the 4th or 5th so gonna have to make sure I use my opks! Feel like crying at work but I've got a face full of makeup xxxxx

Oh Chapman! Don't be too disheartened. Try and track it next month so you know for certain when you're ovulating,
I have a funny feeling I'm going to come on today as well, just don't feel quite so ... Pregnant but who knows. I'm testing Monday if i haven't come on by then
I know how you feel, I wanted to cry at work because of my bfn but also had my face on
Xxx

thanks hun i wont. just feel like i did everything right this month DTD every other day through fertile week but ive obviously ov later than expected and not covered all bases!
just feel rubbish cause i work with someone who only came off the pill in january and fell pregant after her first cycle. This will be my 4th now hoping its a lucky one! fx she doesnt show hun xxx

I know the feeling, on Wednesday DBF and I went for coffee after work and a meal and he chose a table next to a couple with a 1 year old (I guessed) and I almost cried!
Let's hope next month is your lucky one!
I'm feeling emotional today so if af doesn't show this weekend then I'll be shocked xxx

Oh Chapman, sorry As hard as it is, try and just forget about this month now and focus on next month I realise it is easier said than done though
Take a look at this...

Explains it better than I can I'm sure. May be worth trying as it seemed to work for us.

I know what you mean, some couples it happens so quickly for. They're just really lucky I guess

Wicker did you get an increase in white thick ish cm? Xx

Yes!! That was one of the things I noticed that was completely different to my 'normal' cycle, I never get that before AF. Have you got it too??xx

Hey everyone

Just wanted to say that I tested last weekend and got two BFNs, bought a cheapie today and got a BFP. Definitely worth waiting! I felt so rubbish with the BFNs last week and spent over £10 on tests that are supposed to pick up the hormone early!

Sending lots of positive vibes! Xxx

Yes I have but only a really small amount and it dried quite clear in my knickers (tmi lol) so I'm not really sure. I had like a pea size amount about 2 days ago and then today was about twice as much. Not getting too excited though as feel AF is coming on- lots more cramps today
Xxx

CONGRATULATIONS MINIATURE!
Hopefully we can all move on to a pregnancy thread soon after we have all got our bfps!
I really hope I get my bfp! xxx

Congratulations miniature!! I rung the gp surgery today to book my first appointment with the doctor...suddenly feels real
Betty sounds good though, anymore symptoms today?
Yes would be great to go through this together xx

Congratulations miniature!
How many days pre/post Expected AF were you when you get a positive?

I'm doubting I Dtd enough round ovulation now. I think I am approx 8 dpo.

Not having any symptoms really. Feeling cramps etc in my tummy and have creamy cm but think that's where it should be with the stage of my cycle. Starting to think I'm not pregnant now. Just want to know

It's just the start of your journey now wicker! Are you nervous at all about it?

I'm hoping it's good signs. I've had cramps and stuff. I keep getting random sore throats and I'm undecided on how thirsty j actually am... Nipples are slightly sore but much less than yesterday. Maybe it's just an off day xxx

It's still early yet radders, test again in 4-5 days and hopefully something will show up then. I'm gonna test again on Monday I think ... I hope you get your bfp soon xx

Thanks Betty. Hope you do to.
I have a morrisons test which says can be taken four days before AF which is Wednesday so going to try and hold out until then.
I have some of the sticks like the opks, the blue ones, which are supposed to be more sensitive but I've heard there a bit rubbish!
