Tww- anyone want a symptom spotting buddy? :)

[Birdie78]

Hi ladies I'm cd33 today!!! I tested 2 days ago and bfn :( I was wondering if anyone else is a symptom spotter or anyone with a bfp can throw in their advice please :)

Iv had sore bb's on and off as well as constipation on and off. Iv also been getting randomly nauseous! Also very tired but I do suffer with m.e. Iv been convinced af is going to show over the last week because I have been getting on/off period pains in my lower back and top of the legs!! But so far she's a no show :) my periods are however very irregular!!!

Another odd thing going on this month is my cervix. (sorry this could be tmi). When I was trying for my second I always checked my cervix to see if it would close and it never would it would always be slightly open even when I managed to get pregnant it stayed slightly open (I put this down to already giving birth before). Iv been randomly checking my cervix during this tww and it's always been open (only checked about 3x) however I checked this morning and it's quite far back still within reach tho and it's closed!!! Also quite lotiony- sorry!! I have also been getting hot flushes.

Anyone else in tww who would like to join?? :) :)

I caved and tested this am bfn on first response so assuming I am out, although I suppose you never really are until af shows up but I am not counting on it.

jpclarke when was/is af due? Don't give up until af is in full flow xx

I am assuming I am out too but until the witch shows herself properly I am clinging on to the last bit of hope! After 3 years trying you'd think I'd give up easier lol xx

Nothing new here except I have woken up with a really spotty chin I don't remember ever getting spots on my chin bar the odd one. Yay Cramps have completely gone. Definitely not testing until Thursday/Friday now.

Seems I may have spoken to soon - cramps have just started really bad

Hi :) still no af for me yet I'm now cd34 last tested on Saturday im too scared to test hate seeing the bfn :( bb's still sore and get nauseous when I'm hungry I'm hoping to wait till the weekend to test if af is still a no show Fx crosses

When's AF due for you Birdie? X

Sounds very hopeful wardy, fingers crossed for you.

I'm feeling much perkier than yesterday. Massive boobs, so sore and veiny, but that happens most months. Feeling really tired and bloated, hungry, distracted. But much happier today.

Ovia says I can test in 3 days, which will be CD 24. Glad you like it olive! It's quite reassuring and also doesn't yell at you if you forget to put data in for a day or so. You can just catch up after.

My af is really irregular olive anywhere from cd28 to cd38 roughly :( :( it's never the same from one month to the next!

Oh that sounds frustrating birdie, hopefully it doesn't show up at all this month!

Hmm anne interesting that you can test on cd24, yesterday was my cd24 and I got a bfn. Was telling myself it was too early but perhaps not and I'm just out.

How are you doing wardy? Did AF definitely get you?

I'm afraid I'm out ad arrived with a vengeance. FX for the rest of you xxx

Can I join you? I'm going nuts here, symptom spotting.
I think I ovulated on 17 June. DTD on 16, 18 and 19. I don't know if I have been reading the ovulation test properly though because I didn't get a really dark line. It went from non-existent, to light, to darker, and then light again and non-existent again. So I assumed the darkest line was a positive.
On the 17th (ovulation day) I had tender breasts (but not sore nipples). On the 18th these became really sore nipples, but breasts no longer tender other than the nipples. This has been going on for 4 days now - they are REALLY sore! Also nausea for the first one or two hours I'm awake. And absolutely exhausted, like falling asleep at 8pm! I'm told it's too early for these to be symptoms but I just feel so weird!

Oh and quick question about Ovia - mine says I can test in 9 days, but that's 3 days before AF due, so seems too soon??

olive I've had a 24 day cycle the last couple of months so that might be why. I think the weird thing is that it's predicting my cycle to be longer than it should, based on the last few.

Hello party, sorry you're feeling so crap. I can totally sympathise on the boobs, mine are getting in the way of having my arms by my sides, it's incredibly annoying and uncomfortable.

Do you know when you can test? Certainly sounds like possible cause for optimism based on your symptoms, lots of people say they knew very very early on.

I have to keep running to the loo because I feel like iv come on just got a lot of watery cm (sorry tmi) anyone else experience this?

Anne I'm not sure when to test - Ovia says in 9 days, but that would be 3 days before it says AF is due, so wouldn't that be too soon? Or does it mean that's the very earliest you could test, subject to levels of HCG present if it is a positive? I'm torn between testing early as am VERY impatient, and wasting money / getting totally obsessed!

Wait till af due I think if you can. If you are pg you'll know then and it'll be more likely to show up the longer you wait? I don't know. Not sure what to do myself either.

My when to test day has always been the same as my af due day on Ovia before so I don't have a clue why it's gone wonky tbh.

What do you guys think??

This is 2 mins after doing it :)

Wow super clear BFP Birdie. Congrats!!! Do you know your EDD?

Congratulations birdie!! X

Thanks I still can't believe it!! I was sick and thought I best go get a test and then bfp!! I think about 18th Feb :) xx

Can I join in? On holiday and without work distractions symptom spotting is out of control!! I've been feeling pretty nauseous on and off last 2 days - I know it's v early but I'm the worlds biggest piker, everything goes to my stomach and am off booze which never happens! AF due sat and I am planning to test on thurs with a first response. So so tempted to test tomorrow but only bought 2 tests with me so don't want to get a bfn and then have only one more test for 3 days holiday. We dtd lots over FW so am hopeful but need talking down from a testing ledge!

Ps Congrats Birdie!

Congrats birdie!!!
