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?? :) :)

Hi can I join? It's my first month of trying properly, although we only DTD once. One app said it was in my fertile period but one didn't. Ovulation pains started the day after but continued for almost a week. I'm currently CD21. Since my ovulation week I've had really sore boobs which I think is unusual as it's usually a few days before my period. I've also had weird lower abdominal cramps the last couple of days and a watery feeling down below. I promised I wouldn't symptom spot but it's impossible!

AnneLovesGilbert · 21/06/2016 18:55

Brilliant news birdie! So pleased for you x

OliveOrTwist · 21/06/2016 19:37

Hi seahawk your on the same timings as me, my AF is due Friday/Saturday and I'm thinking of testing hopefully Friday if no obvious signs it's on it's way.

FXd Birdie has started a run of bfps for us Grin who's next to test?

kitkat2016 · 21/06/2016 20:24

Hi all
can I join too - Im cd 23 - been getting period cramps for the last couple of days and very achy in my leg and back but no nausea or sore boobs so think its the dreaded af although I don't usually get cramping this soon - it usually happens right before my period is due like a few days so this is a bit unusual for me to arrive this early but am going ott with the symptom spotting!
Sorry for tmi but slight feeling of thinking af is coming but running to the loo and nothing is there! Am driving myself crazy with all this!

Has anyone else had period like cramps (and no other symptoms) and then gone on to get a bfp? Am ever hopeful that this will be my lucky month!

congrats birdie thats great - here's hoping this is the start of all our bfps :)

jpclarke · 21/06/2016 20:50

Congrats Birdie, wishing you a happy and healthy 9 months. Xxx

I went for a run today, as I am not back running that long I hadn't gone in a few days when I started getting the really sore nipples in case I was pregnant. Anyway I started my run and needed to pee and when I wiped there was a tiny bit of brown discharge. I have had nothing since. My app says not due af until Sunday but I think it's due before that.

Seahawk80 · 21/06/2016 21:34

Hi Olive, that's exciting to have a test buddy. I have promised myself and DH I'll wait til Thursday but I know I won't make it past then. Will let you know.

Kitkat, I've had pretty bad cramps this evening, am not too worried AF - fx for you x

OliveOrTwist · 22/06/2016 08:58

How is everyone this morning?

AnneLovesGilbert · 22/06/2016 09:55

I'm groggy and shattered and my boobs are killing me. But my mood is okay! How's everyone else?

ThePartyArtist · 22/06/2016 12:11

Still tired but didn't feel nauseous this morning. Still sore nipples but not as bad as it was. So the things that I thought might be symptoms seem to be reducing in severity, leading me to think they are nothing. Also got thick creamy cm (sorry if TMI!) Still unsure when to test as Ovia says in 8 days, but also says that my period is due in 11.

OliveOrTwist · 22/06/2016 12:13

I had AF like cramps this morning again. Convinced it's going to come early, keep nipping to loo to check but still just cm at the moment. It would be typical if it did as I carelessly left the house in white undies and no Sanpro today Blush

AnneLovesGilbert · 22/06/2016 13:02

I'm feeling a bit crampy too. Based on my last handful of cycles af is due in the next couple of days.

DH is going to be so disappointed if it comes Sad

I will too but he's been madly symptom spotting!

JaneyL1 · 22/06/2016 13:06

Hi can I join in?? this is my first time posting but I'm excited and no one in real life knows I'm ttc! I'm about 9dpo, and I swear today I have an implantation bleed. My DH only decided he was ready to start trying the day that I Oed or the day after, so our timing has either been perfect or annoyingly one day late...

I said after my first pregnancy I wouldn't POAS until I was 2 weeks late, as I found 4-6 weeks pregnant more nerve wracking than the 2WW because of some early spotting, but how am I meant to wait? AF due about Sunday, so still quite a few days to wait and see...

OliveOrTwist · 22/06/2016 13:15

Anne I love that your DH is doing the symptom spotting Grin

Mine will probably fall on the floor in shock if we have a bfp this month. I think I will aswell to be honest. Although it would be a lovely surprise. Like janey we only decided part way through this cycle, so we weren't very prepared in advance. However I am already symptom spotting despite us agreeing on a 'chilled out approach' whoops!

AnneLovesGilbert · 22/06/2016 14:11

Hello Janey, fx for you.

He's mad for it Olive, so sweet. We've been mutually marvelling at the size of my boobs, they're obscene this week. But it's been happening every month since I came off the pill so not a handy symptom.

I had a craving for a snickers bar yesterday, odd as I hardly ever eat chocolate, and he was looking at me funny.

But having a very involved one means knowing how disappointed they are when it doesn't happen Sad

Seahawk80 · 22/06/2016 15:20

I was strong and resisted testing!

Party Artist I feel the same, nausea has gone and still have cramps so maybe AF is on the way. I am on holiday and hired and drove a boat for the first time today so maybe that just kept my mind off the nausea! Boobs normal but they never change or get sore around AF. Gonna do a FRER with FMU tomorrow as I can't last any longer! FX to everyone

katherine7172 · 22/06/2016 19:46

Any chance I can join you ladies? Hubby is away at the moment with work and could do with some people to talk things over with x

Seahawk80 · 22/06/2016 21:25

Hi Katherine, welcome!

I'm off to bed, will test tomorrow but all symptoms have disappeared. Ready for a BFN and feeling a bit low. Just saw a pregnancy announcement from a colleague which makes it harder. Really feeling sorry for myself. Hope everyone else is in better spirits! Grin

katherine7172 · 22/06/2016 21:39

Thanks Seahawk, I hope you get your BFP in the morning! Hopefully a good nights sleep and then you'll feel better in the morning!

I'm on my 4th cycle being on metformin for PCOS, the metformin has lightened my periods which is good. My cycle lengths have been 31, 33, 34 (in that order) and this month I'm now on day 38 with no AF. It's so frustrating, I took a PT this morning and got a BFN. I have slightly achey boobs and felt nauseous on and off over the last week, don't know if I'm symptom spotting though. What do you guys think, should I test again and if so when? Or just wait for AF to rear her ugly head? Xxx

Seahawk80 · 23/06/2016 08:23

Thanks Katherine,

I got a BFN Sad AF not die til
Sat so not 100% out. Just going to chill out and wait a few days until am actually late before testing again. I've had a few really long random cycles too - so annoying fx for you.

katherine7172 · 23/06/2016 09:08

Oh no 😔 Nope, you're not out at all then! I'll keep my fingers crossed for you! It's just frustrating not knowing what's going on, AF still hasn't come either, just a horrible waiting game now x

OliveOrTwist · 23/06/2016 09:30

I'm out, AF turned up last night! 2/3 days early!

ThePartyArtist · 23/06/2016 11:57

I'm now 6 dpo (I think).
Nipples much less sore, but still a bit sore.
cm has been thick and creamy for past few days, more of it than usual.
Had a tiny bit of red blood this morning, I'm wondering if it could be an implantation bleed? No experience of this though so not sure what I am looking for! Period due in 8-10 days.

jpclarke · 23/06/2016 12:43

So sorry to hear that Olive, be kind to yourself over the next few daysFlowers

OliveOrTwist · 23/06/2016 13:46

Thanks clarke, I'm ok about it actually. It was only our first cycle and it was all a bit last minute so I'm not surprised. Im going to have a guilt free (large) glass of wine after my run tonight. AF seems to have stopped as I've actually had no blood today at all Hmm but I know it'll be back very shortly. My bodies just messing with me!

I'm going to lurk around on this thread so I can keep up with which of you get your bfps, got my FXd for all of you!!

Cupcakemumma123 · 23/06/2016 14:36

Ladies I'm CD21 of a 28 day cycle, approx 7dpo. Last 3 days, v sore boobs! But only when taking bra off except today when they are just constantly sore. Been on nights shifts so no proper morning wee but POAS anyway three times but a bfn as I would expect. Could these sore boobs be a sign of pg or is it too early??!! X
