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

I am really nervous!! We've been trying for a while and been gutted at getting the BFN's, now the BFP has shown up suddenly I'm really nervous about what's to come. But also excited I've been feeling quite nauseous around dinner time each day which is very annoying, looking at food is making me feel a bit funny

My breasts don't feel too bad today actually, just slightly swollen I guess.

Stay positive Radders

Raddersmrs not sure! I know I had a period the week commencing the 15th of February but because I don't know what day I can't work out when I ovulated!

AnxiousBetty my symptoms are like yours- I've been really thirsty (usually I barely drink all day but I've been downing pints of water), my boobs started to hurt over a week before I thought I might be due on, usually they only hurt a couple of days before. The cramping has been awful, my tummy is also really tender to touch, I'm trying not to worry about it because it's very similar to my first pregnancy!

Xx

Radders, I found the cheapie blue tests quite bad. Not very sensitive at all! OPK's though I found good

I am so impatient to test so it would be so hard for me to wait till Wednesday! Think I'm a poas addict

I'm sure it will be fine wicker, let us know how it goes! Do you know exactly how far along you are or are you waiting for the doctors to tell you?
I've been feeling a bit nauseous for a few days at around 1-2 ish but think it may just be in my head
My boobs are more swollen today too but they've never been sore

I keep rushing to the loo expecting to see red but NOTHING! Xxx

When is/was AF due for you Betty? Did you figure it out? Haha I kept expecting the same, I still check each time I wipe just to make sure (Sorry, tmi!!)

I'm 5 weeks on Saturday Not really sure what to expect at the doctors app, anyone know what it is for? Or just a referral maybe?!

Congratulations miniature!

Sorry to hear AF came for you chapman

Still no AF for me! CD 35.

Well I'm not too sure, I thought it was sometime this week but if it hasn't turned up by Monday then I'll be late for sure.
I'm exactly the same every time I go too!

Ah bless, I think they just do a check up and stuff, I think you'll have a couple weeks before any kind of scan xxx

That's good Cherry :) how long are your cycle usually?

Yes should have a scan in approx 7 weeks time I guess, will be 12 weeks then. Ah well, will find out soon enough

Hope AF stays away Betty!!

Xx

Evening girls wow I missed loads haha!!
Been out for tea with the DH to cheer me up he's such a good egg just wish one of my eggs would stick haha!!
Wicker how long had you been trying for babe before you conceived? Bet your so excited and nervous it'l all be worth it! X
Betty - bet you can't wait to test Hun when are you testing? Hoping it's a bfp for you seems like you've proper been through the mill this month with all these symptoms!!
Cherry - thankyou Hun was gutted earlier on but bit happier now don't know why but I suppose what will be will be! Have u tested at all?? X
Radders - good luck lovely! Fx it's a bfp! Feel like am the only one with AF haha xxx

chapman bfn on tuesday so might wait a few more days before giving it another go. My last four/five periods have been less than 30 days cycle but it was irregular before that due to being on the pill for ages.

Glad your other half has looked after you tonight.

Evening Chapman
Sounds like you've had a well deserved relaxing evening...brownie points for DH
We've been trying since Nov, so maybe not as long as some people, but has felt like ages to us lol

Cherry, if you're CD35 that's looking good right?!

Xx

Oh wicker you a month before me then we officially being trying since December so hope j follow you next month Hun! Yeah he's amazing I love him so much he seen this morning how upset I was. He said we will put more effort in this month, we do quite a lot of overtime and we are always tired most nights so never get round to dtd a lot, bless him!

Cherry - what tests did you use? A frer or them cheapy ones? Fx for you hope AF stays away! And yeah he's a good en! Xx

Ah then it must be your turn next month we were exactly the same with finding time to, but we had to just make time. Did you take a look at that SMEP link I posted earlier this eve? Worth a read xx

I did wicker thankyou Hun! Is that what you followed? I only got to cd11 using my opks and the. We went to Rome and I forgot to pack them so that might of not helped :( xxxx

Sorry I meant last month haha xx

Yes we did that this month, started on about CD10 and I ovulated on CD16 I think. Not sure whether it helped or was just coincidence that this was our month. But worth a try xx

Not much to report back ladies, nipples getting less and less sore, boobs still swollen not sore. No more white cm ... Cramps but no AF ....

Hey Ladies! I've been reading this thread with great interest too and with my fxed! Congratulations to those who eventually got their BFP! and to those who haven't yet, i hope you get it soon, never lose hope!

Im trying ttc#2 with Pcos, 10 months after giving birth to DD1. Ive said to myself im not going to get myself so stressed and upset over it like i did with #1 as i think that may have delayed me conceiving so im trying to be calmer now. Bloody hard though!

My periods have always been irregular ranging from 27 days to 35 and i was hoping child birth would have helped me but seems not! Im waiting for my 3rd AF to arrive now but its now been 40 days since my last period. I tested on day 38 but it was sadly a BFN which I expected anyway. But now reading all of your messages im wondering if i should test again today?

You see my cramps are mega painful this time and has been here since last Tuesday (9th Mar) and really feels like AF is coming. I'm not getting any other symptoms though, maybe just tiredness but i think i can put that down to my 10month old lol.

Betty have you tested again? X

Pretty sure AF will arrive now i have posted in here!

Don't worry SABZH just wait a few days and don't worry, try not to get stressed about it as it may affect how late your period is

I haven't tested again yet now. I think I'm going to wait until Monday or Wednesday before I test again.... If I can wait that long xxx

I just cracked and tested again even though I think I'm only 9 dpo. I've got it in my head that I know it will be negative but just in case it is positive I want to test...!
I've agreed with OH that I will test Monday morning as he is away Monday night and then Wednesday morning as this is 4 days before AF so will then use the morrisons early response ones which says four days before. The ones I'm using at the moment are the cheap ones... 5 for £2-3 I think they were.

I think I know deep down I am not pregnant. CM is drying up but I've felt sick today and some little cramps. But that might be because I've not eaten properly!

We wont be trying next month so I will have a break and then the following month I'm going to not be testing so much.... She says now...

Thanks AnxiousBetty Im not going to lose hope even though deep down I know AF will arrive any day now. Its hard to not test! I'll try hold up and test when you test too i think hopefully a BFP will be on the plate!

Raddersmrs Dont lose hope either! X

Oh well radders some people are lucky enough to get their bfp that early so I don't blame though! I think all my dates are messed up and I think I'm actually a lot earlier on that I thought so most of my testing was way way before anything could of come up!

I'm starting to think I'm not actually pregnant today I just don't feel anything, apart from cramps I haven't really had any backache, no more white cm, boobs although still swollen aren't really sore. I've got a sore throat but I'm not considering that as anything.
I'm going to test on Monday with one of my Asda early response ones I have left and if nothing then I might get a superdrug early response one as they are the most sensitive.... Fxed we all get our bfp! xxx
