Me too Waliking, I feel like I'm rapidly going crazy so it's nice to know I'm not the only one. I was lucky last time TTC to get a BFP first cycle so this is all new to me. I'm only on cycle 2 but I can't think of anything else.

sk1pper · 01/09/2016 14:05

Yep this thread is great :)

Has it only been McBaby with a BFP so far? There has got to be a couple more this month I recon with all these symptoms knocking about.

FlashingLights · 01/09/2016 14:19

Sounds like lots of positive symptoms going on! I'm 4DPO without a symptom in sight, I know it's still early but I don't think this is my month.

When is everyone testing?
I have an appointment to donate blood on the 7th so I think I'll POAS that morning just incase.

McBaby · 01/09/2016 14:23

I might be retracting my bfp had red spotting yesterday so gp did bloods today and I will have a scan in a couple of weeks if I get that far!

voxnihili · 01/09/2016 14:29

Good luck to everyone! I think I'm about 10dpo although I don't know exactly when I ovulated - I know last month I'd ovulated by day 19 as I'd had an internal scan which confirmed it but don't know when exactly ovulation had occurred.

I don't test for ovulation as not sure I could cope with that - I get a rough idea though due to my week long ovulation pains, I'm guessing I ovulate somewhere towards the end of the painful period (that would fit with my fertile week on Ovia).

My symptoms so far are confusing as could be PMS or something else. They are:

Sore boobs - usually get this but it seems different this time. It is normally on top but is on the bottom this month. My nipples seem more sensitive - not so much when I touch them but nearly leapt out of my skin last week when DP touched one unexpectedly.

Cramping - could be PMS but doesn't seem as prolonged as usual.

Fluey feeling - just feel under the weather. Could have picked up a virus on the aeroplane - don't feel unwell as such, just under the weather.

Weird stomach - lots more bowel movements than usual, but this could just be my body making the most of the last few days of being able to go when I want to!

Bloating - I'm quite slim but have never had a washboard stomach but it seems really bloated at the moment - could easily pass for about 4 months pregnant! Again this could be a mixture of PMS and post holiday weight gain.

Constantly hungry - I'm usually really restrained but this could be last few days of the holidays pig out mode before normal diet / exercise regime resume coupled with PMS.

I took another test this morning - BFN on CD30 - period due Saturday. I hope I find out one way or the other before I go back to work.

misstiggiwinkle · 01/09/2016 14:31

I'm feeling a bit flat. My temp dropped today, not below cover line but at 10dpo any significant drop sends out red flags. No particular symptoms although I've felt really under the weather since last weekend and feeling pretty tired already today but pretty sure that's to do with chasing my DS and being a bit post viral. Got that familiar low faint cramping.

Pretty sure Af is on her way although this would be the shortest cycle I've had as only on cd 25

lousylear · 01/09/2016 15:34

AF arrived this afternoon. Phew at least I know where I am now. And I can enjoy myself with dp in Greece next week! See you all in October! FX for everyone else.

lalaland1985 · 01/09/2016 15:37

Sorry to hear that lousy. I have a feeling I'll be joining you on the October bus. Onwards and upwards to our BFP!

AVY1 · 01/09/2016 15:40

Thanks Mrs. Have spoken to practise nurse and she agreed it definitely doesn't fit with my usual pattern (I had no true red blood loss). I've got to test again tomorrow (as AF has not shown up) and then go and see them on Monday regardless is result. She was a little concerned it could be ectopic but also said that doesn't really fit with timing and as the blood described didn't fit and I've had no extreme pain (I've had twinges lasting a few seconds) then it didn't warrant me going straight in.

She also said that she's had experience with implantation bleeding and no BFP until 8 weeks! And on top of that that in all her years she's seen IB almost exclusively in multiples :/

anyway we will see what tomorrow brings! I'm definitely going to the loo more often but have also been constipated for the past fortnight (which NEVER) happens to me as I have ulcerative colitis.

Letswaitandsee · 01/09/2016 15:59

Sorry to hear that lousy. Fingers crossed for next month. X

voxnihili · 01/09/2016 16:20

Also sorry to hear that lousy.

I've been POAS like a mad thing and suddenly thought yesterday that I might stop if I bought some expensive clearblue ones rather than internet cheapy ones. Anyone want to guess how long the box lasted unopened after the delivery turned up?

lalaland1985 · 01/09/2016 17:52

If you are anything like me VOX then 5 seconds max?

voxnihili · 01/09/2016 19:13

Pretty much! I thought it showed a very very faint positive so I took it apart (didn't realise they could splatter when opened, oops) and couldn't see anything so must have been the way I had been tilting it and imagining a line.

I've tried not to let TTC take over. I'm really focused on my career but I sometimes wonder if I'm just throwing myself into it in case this never happens. In terms of work, it wouldn't be the worst thing if it hadn't happened this month due to a few things happening over the coming months. However, I think I'll be devastated because I'd put so much on it working this time.

I think AF is on its way - tell tale period pains have kicked in. I'm due Saturday ish.

Writerwannabe83 · 01/09/2016 19:16

There's quite a few of us testing around Saturday time. I looked at ordering some IC off Amazon today but as soon as I selected the 'Next Day Delivery' option the price went from £3 to £14! I couldn't believe it and so obviously cancelled my order.

I suppose I could get another cheapie one from ASDA tomorrow....

voxnihili · 01/09/2016 19:20

Actually feeling quite bitter tonight and wondering what the point is. I keep thinking maybe it would be easier to decide to not have children as it might be easier to build my life around that.

voxnihili · 01/09/2016 19:32

I'm even getting pissed off with the 'helpful' comments on Ovia - 'maybe there's a baby inside you making you feel all emotional'. Could quite happily throw my phone at the wall yelling 'fuck off' at the moment.

NappingRabbit · 01/09/2016 20:00

I will inevitably test every day until AF shows. I've had a tiny bit of brown spotting today and some mild cramping which could be either implantation or (more likely) AF threatening to appear. Who knows. It's the hanging around in limbo that is agonising!

I don't know how anyone manages to wait until they are actually late to test. Before TTC I fully intended to be one of them - that definitely didn't happen!

misstiggiwinkle · 01/09/2016 20:49

I'm a Saturday tester assuming af doesn't get me first. Lots of cramping this evening and had a few heart flutters (like when your heart skips a beat)...haven't had those since I was last pregnant Hmm must stop symptom spotting

lalaland1985 · 01/09/2016 22:42

Took a frer test and it's a huge BFN. I've gone from 95% sure I'm not pregnant to 99% sure. Just wish AF would arrive now.

Me9an · 01/09/2016 22:48

Hello!
Joining from the August bus.
TTC 1 cycle 1
Currently waiting on af which is 2 days late, bfn two days ago. Going to test Saturday if af still hasn't shown. Good luck to everyone !

Letswaitandsee · 01/09/2016 23:15

Still no sign of AF so as of tomorrow morning I'm officially late. I'm still gonna wait until Saturday until I poas. I had a mc at 5 weeks and only got a squinter when I was 2 days late... I managed a BFP on a digi 3 days later but was manically testing In between only getting squinters and one BFN. I'm saving myself the stress of testing again until I know it'll be BFP if I am actually pg. something tells me I'm not pregnant though, I just don't feel 'that' feeling.

NappingRabbit · 02/09/2016 07:27

Pretty sure I'm out this month. BFN this morning and spotting is a bit heavier.

Writerwannabe83 · 02/09/2016 07:28

vox - I also find Ovia's helpful suggestions very irritating at times Angry

My period is due tomorrow and I'm not feeling pregnant at all. All the symptoms I had a few nights ago have disappeared and I feel pretty normal again. I have no HPTs in the house and am trying to decide whether to go and buy one because I'm working all weekend so won't have another chance unless I get one today.

I know it will be a waste of money though. It's all so frustrating.

sk1pper · 02/09/2016 07:40

AF due next Thursday but it will make my longest cycle yet. I could test at the weekend but I may not, I really don't have enough symptoms to warrant it. Some queasiness this morning but I'm putting it down to the late night.

Writerwannabe83 · 02/09/2016 07:52

Wouldn't it be so much easier if our wee could just change colour if HCG was present? It would be so much cheaper!!

We could all post pictures of our wee to be analysed Grin
