1 week until AF- Veiny Boobs, increased CM and slight bleed yesterday...is this a sign????

[beckyjones]

Sorry for the extremely graphic title for this conversation but I need some assurance that the things that are happening to my body isn't me being over excited..?

I wore white pants yesterday and when I went to the loo there was a slight spot of which could have been light blood or very dark red/orange CM.. nothing more today but I was sooo bloated yesterday I had to undo my trousers.. this has now passed.

Also my boobs are very sore so much that I had to put my bra on lying down this morning and also felt quite tearful when I took it off last night..

I feel sick but haven't been sick, when I think of being sick (generally do this if hung over as it speeds the process)- It makes it worse..

Also I have very heavy CM, not egg like when I was ovulating but thick and slightly sticky..

I know that you are probably eating your lunch while reading this and I do sincerely apologise but I have suffered an ectopic and a miscarriage (MC in Oct 06)- my husband doesn't want to get over excited nor will he let me test early becaise I have done this lots of times over the last 6 months and got BFP but then a couple of days later got my AF... We have been trying for 18 months and I am desperate for a baby- I didn't feel this out of sorts when I was pregnant last time, but I don't think I had very high hormone levels... also woke up this morning full of spots and I usually have very clear skin.. have had to go to bed the last couple of nights because I am sooo tired- but could these symptoms just be in my head?
My AF is due next Tues

Please help x

Boo! Don't want to rub it in but am sat here with a lovely glass of red! Be strong becky!

Fingers crossed for you becky that you just took the test too early and there is still a BFP on its way to you.

I have got two clear blue early predictor tests sitting on my draws and have been soooooooooo tempted to test all day but have been managing to talk myself out of it so far, however, I think I might just have to do one tomorrow morning although I'm quite sure af is on her way as have mild cramps but just want to put my mind at rest.

Good luck becky and everyone else too . Fingers crossed for everyone.

How you feeling today becky? Stronger, more positive and generally ok??!! xxxxx

Well my will power wasn't strong enough and found myself at 7 this morning doing a pg test - needless to stay it was a BFN which I thought it would be but just wanted to put my mind at rest. Not actually expecting af until around Wednesday but have the typical syptoms I usually get so quite sure I'm not pg this month.

Not too diasappointed though as only first month of ttc and also means another month of no morning sickness which can't be a bad thing

Done any more tests becky?

Hi Guys- no tests yet!!! I am dying to but haven't have a bit a rumbley belly which makes me think AF.. hopefully she will stay away this month.. sickness has stopped but still feeling very sickly at the moemnt... boobs are still killing but I am thinking this could just be AF... I feel a bit more deflated now... if the AF does come at least it is another month of bedtime fun!

hi becky, ammy, and furryfox......well i have been reading all your posts just now. Sorry to hear about the bfns
I am on cd30 and must have the iron will of a nun or someone because I HAVENT TESTED and I DONT HAVE ANY IN THE HOUSE and IM DAMN WELL NOT DOING ONE!!!!!
Apart from all the air freshner smell thing going on, i dont have any "symptoms" so i guess af must be on her way. I so hope she stays away though! Have felt crampy all day, feels like i should have started but after running to the loo all morning "knicker-watching" there is not a single sign of af starting at all.
AAAAARRRRRGGGHGHGHG!!!!!! this is torture.
I will keep my fingers crossed for everyone , because as you know, it aint over till the af starts, lets try and stay hopeful xx

pussycat I share your pain- it is a nightmare- I am feeling crampy though today and also cried last night because my Dh incinuated I would ruin my dinner by eating a bitesize crunchy- sounds like severe PMS to me!! He just looked at me open mouthed while I sat on the sofa balling my eyes out .. feel bad that he has to go through my manic hormones every month. I have resigned myself to the fact that I am probably not pregnant- I want to be so much!!! I am knicker watching too - funny isn't it, its like reading your tea leaves!!!!!!!

Hi Becky,
I sped through each addition to this thread itching to know if your pregnant or not. The Clearblue digital are usable from 4 days prior to period being due and its great cause its really clear - a flashing Pregnant or Not Pregnant.
I tried for over 7yrs with no luck, then accidentally caught and miscarried, accidentally caught again and had DD. It was a hard slog for a long time but I can say with confidence that as soon as you introduce FUN into sex (and therefore less focus on conception) that you will probably catch much more quickly. Stress makes for a hostile womb environment (seriously!!) so you really need to relax, hard I know (really I do know) but if you can it might help. I will be watching this thread closely and keeping all my fingers and toes crossed for you. Good Luck. x

Thanks clothears that is so inspirational that afer 7 years you have a DD- I know what you are saying about fun- my dh and I are trying to move away from the focus of conceiving I mean for example this month I am ashamed to say we have only had sex round the fertile period and it is unfair on both us becuase it feels like we are just doing it for the end product, and I do remeber a time far in the past where we did enjoy it and didn't lie rigid for 15 mins with my legs in a cycling motion afterwards, that kind of kills the after sex cuddle if you know what I mean!!!! I am determined not to test, I have one in the house and it speaks to me in the morning when I need a wee but at the moment I am ignoring till Wednesday- fingers crossed but I do have dull cramping in the form of AF today so I am less hopeful! x

Wow cycling motion is a new one on me. I heard that an orgasm afterwards (very graphic - apologies) helps those little guys get to where they need to go!!
Well, I had cramping when I got pregnant with DD - so bad I thought I was dying. Then discovered I was preg and it lasted until I was 7 weeks along with awful sickness. I do not want to be responsible for getting your hopes up but I agree with you about trying to forget about it until wednesday. With each day that passes your proving how strong you can be and with each day that passes your hormone level may be increasing.... Best of Luck to you. If not, then maybe next month you should go away for a few days of fertile passion!!

pussycat, no simptoms doesn't mean no pregnancy. in fact there are tons and tons and tons of posts on here from people every month saying "I have x simptom, so I'm sure I'm pregnant", only for af to arrive spot on time, and then when those people do fall pg the posts say "I have absolutely no simptoms". in reality, simptoms are usually apparent from about 6 wks when the heartbeat is detectable so it's actually very uncommon to have pregnancy simptoms before a missed period.

so, why not do a test - it'll put your mind at rest one way or the other?

I had absolutely no simptoms when I was first pregnant with ds, in fact i had heavy bleeding around the time of af with cramps etc as well. I thought it strange I'd only bled for two days but it wasn't until two weeks later when i fainted at work that I decided to do a test just in case, and my dh said "I'm not wasting another bloody 8 quid on a test that's going to be negative", and it was positive.

good luck xxx

Oh!! Wannabe, lovely to hear from you
I was just reading coggys catch up thread and saw your post, lovely to bump into you, sorry i am not very good at keeping in touch! btw, WELL DONE on the size 10's!!!!! am v.v. impressed!
The thing is, i really dont want to test, because if i do it tomorrow, cd31, if i get a bfn i will tell myself that i tested too early. This way, i know my af is imminent, so when it comes, yes i will be disappointed, but there is no mistaking it is there? if you know what i mean! I have told myself if i have not started af and get to day 40 then i will do a test. I am making myself wait that long as i cant stand the disappointment and the not knowing. I would rather have my little bubble of fake/possible hope just to last a little while longer. If i am pregnant, then i'll still be pregnant if i test in 10days time. If im not preg then i will prob get af before then.
Sorry to waffle sweetie. Did you read about the little bleed i had on day 23 further down the thread? i have almost convinced myself it was an implantation bleed, but who knows?? If af arrives, it will just have been a bit of random spotting and wont have meant anything.
This is still so, so hard.

pussycat? becky? any news?

They like to keep us guessing...

tomorrow I promise... xx

pussycat I totally get where you're coming from, in fact you've quoted almost word for word what I've said to others on so many threads "if you wait to test and you're pregnant you'll still be pregnant" ... .

Didn't read about the bleed but ironically I had similar yesterday (also cd23. Was like a sudden little gush iyswim, there was blood, had to change underwear etc (tmi sorry) but today nothing. Still I don't go down the "am I aren't I" route any more lol.

Sorry to crash this thread but have a few questions for PCM.

1. Did you have regular periods before ovairan drilling?
2. If not did they become regular after op?
3. how long did that take?

P.S Fingers crossed for you both sounds very promising. xx

any news from you two??

bump!!!!!!

helllloooo! hi all, thankyou for good vibes. I still SO need them.
well, af pains yesterday, was convinced i was gonna start, but nothing. They went off a bit last night, and have had them slightly on and off all day today, but nothing!!!! You know how it is, bit of "chocolate milkshake gunk" (sorry way tmi but am trying to explain!) at the very start of your af, then progressively turns more and more to af..........Not. A. Drop. Nada. Zilch. Zero.
Am making myself keep thinking my af is just around the corner.............but so far it doesnt seem to be the case.
Still not testing, though i feel it is getting harder and harder not to! Keep telling myself if i can just get to next thursday, it will be day 40, then i will allow myself to find out for sure it is bfn.
Wannabe........i keep reminding myself of the time that the gp said to you, "if you aren't pregnant, i'll eat my hat! "
Things are never straight forward are they?? Your little bleed sounds promising though, keep me posted will you?

trace, sent you an msn but you dont seem to be around. Will deffo try to spk to you tomorro afternoon. Do you know what time you will be coming Sunday yet? X

Oh Pussycat, just come across this thread, and wanted to wish you all the best. I don't know if you remember me but I was on the ttc threads with you, Coggy, Wannabe, Trace etc. I joined in the May until August when I got my BFP.

So fingers crossed for you puss and I'll check back again tomorrow. xx

pussycat, cramping is very good sign. now, with my impulsive head on, I think you should test. cramps with no af is promising - very promising, because you get af type pains like that in the first trimester - it's the blood supply to the uterus increasing.

was thinking earlier, if you're pg this month I'll be the only one from the 4 of us on last January's thread that didn't get a bfp

but hey 3 outa 4 ain't bad

oh wannabe....thankyou for sounding so hopeful on my behalf. I keep telling myself these would be good signs on someone else. I think I am too scared to find out. Like if af comes, then that will be it, hope well and truly over. I sort of cant put myself through the disappointment until it happens . Saying that, you SO wont be the 1 in 4 it didnt happen for. It may still happen for you Wannabe, but maybe not in your timeframe iykwim. I have really tried to "wash my hands" of any control in all of this, i tell myself if it happens then it will be in Gods time, and when it is right for me. I keep telling myself that it will happen when it is meant to happen. Gosh its so hard. I thought i was past all this obsessing, but it has soon sucked me back in.
Feel sure af will start tomorro, been really snappy with dh tonight cause its just on my mind 24/7.
Sexonlegs........cause i remebmer you sweetie, i remember everyone Hope you are looking after yourself and your bump, i wish you the very very best for the rest of your pregnancy and beyond.
Im actually gulping back the tears now .....i would never have believed i could care so much about people i have never even met.
will keep you all posted
xxxxxxxxxxx

Also I just wanted to apologise to Beckyjones for taking over your thread a little bit. Sorry becky!!!
For those who know me but havent read the thread, all the symptoms and signs on the thread title relate to Becky, not me, and I have only had the little bleed on day 23, nothing else.
Just wanted to clarify!
