I'm 30 KP86 don't give up! I really recommend the seven seas conception vitamins,they are so discreet out of the box, cheap and are about the size of the pill and laid out the same way! Bout 3 pounds ish on Amazon. Here's today's one much clearer I think? I bought a clear blue with weeks but waiting til I would be due to use it! Still have 3 cheapy tests left. Erm s o what do I do now... I just got the hang of the boards

Hey ladies hope you don't mind me joining! I'm on CD22 due AF on Monday but got awful cramps this morning! Surely too early for af cramps :/ and it's deffo too early to test! Hate this waiting game! Good luck to you all x

Hi everyone!
It's so comforting to know I'm not the only one symptom spotting like crazy Grin good luck to all of you testing around now! At least you will know either way soon Smile I've had a long two weeks of all kinds of 'real' symptoms but have had lots of cramps for the past few days and on Cd 33 so feel AF has come for me! But it's only my first cycle of trying for my first so just wanting this period out the way so I can start again Grin. Now back to wondering if I'm feeling sick, looking at my nipples in the mirror and pretending I don't feel my cramping and am not just late(ish) cos I stopped my pill...
Stay positive guys!

Redpony1 · 30/01/2017 12:19

trytowin that's a definite positive! Flowers

studentstuffs · 30/01/2017 17:07

I'm due on on wednesday, but started spotting yesterday and today. I normally start my period heavily over night on the day I am due on so this is strange! What could this be?!

Sshsecretenclosed · 30/01/2017 17:11

Mine is odd. First proper period after the pill. Came on 10dpo. Bright red blood but fairly light. Little bit yesterday and nearly nothing today. So so bizarre

studentstuffs · 30/01/2017 17:12

I never get this so it is very strange. I normally get really bad cramps too, but nothing at the moment!

I wish this trying to conceive was easier!

KP86 · 30/01/2017 17:50

We spend all those years trying to not get pregnant and now this!

Sshsecretenclosed · 30/01/2017 18:14

I know it's horrible. Is a two day light period a month after finishing pill normal?!

dangle90 · 30/01/2017 19:09

Shh; I had a light 2 day period the month after I finished my pill too, due on again on the 6th, heard they can take a while to regulate after the pill x

Sshsecretenclosed · 30/01/2017 19:33

Just so odd. My clear blue said I had a surge so I assumed I ovulated too last month but can't assume anything in this game Hmm

tryingtoachieve17 · 30/01/2017 20:15

Right Everyone I've had 4 days of light/brown bleeding only when I wipe. So I went to the doctors and I had all the urine tests and I'm not pregnant 😔😔 and I had to have inner examination worst experience ever😫😫 so I'm gunna test again next week!! My stomach hurts and little lady front bum(vagina) so I'm excepting AF but she hasn't showed her face yet!! Let's hope I ovulated later then I thought💓

Symptoms spotting makes you go nuts🙄
Glad I'm not the only one too!!
Please everyone keep there heads high and positive thoughts glowing!!

How was everyone's day?x❤x

Hang in there Trying I'm off to pastures unknown board good luck.

Used the clear blue today as AF was due today

Dreaded wait anyone else??
dangle90 · 31/01/2017 07:10

Aww congrats try!! FlowersFlowers

Emberblu · 31/01/2017 14:52

So I guess my symptom spotting was right! I hope this means many of you will get your positive results this cycle too!!
Incase anyone is curious my symptoms were:
Feeling constantly queasy but no vomiting
Some headaches
Period like cramps over the past 4 days
A few days of extreme tiredness right after ovulation
NO aversion to smells or foods
NO tender nipples (only today do I have very slightly sore boobs)
Maybe peeing more but I'm drinking more too
Very hungry every couple of hours
Slightly dizzy sometimes
Back ache but I have a bad back anyway...
NO metallic taste

The only thing slightly different about my cramps, incase it helps anyone, is that one day it felt more like a fluttering muscle twitch... today it is a deep ache right in my hips. So don't write it off cos you aren't getting the big symptoms or think AF is coming Smile

Fingers crossed this is a sticky bean. I'm going to make a doc appointment today and suprise the DH Grin good luck every one!

Congrats emberblu and trytowin.

How are you holding up tryingtoachieve?

I tested negative on Sunday, the day AF was due. It was negative but still no sign of AF.
I think the waiting game for AF to show is worse than the 2ww. I feel like I've stalled.

jmariehac · 31/01/2017 16:54

Congratulations ember I got my bfp last week and was exactly the same as you symptom wise...I was getting hunger pangs very strange feeling it was..with my other two it was my bobs that have it away no sire bobs this time. .bit daunting my eldest will be 13 before baby is here Smile

Emberblu · 31/01/2017 17:08

Congrats jmariehac since this is my first I have no use if the things I'm feeling are normal haha 😂 don't worry about a big age gap, in the youngest of 4 with my older brother 10 years older and everything turned out ok Grin

jmariehac · 31/01/2017 17:10

Aw that's great ember ...having your 1st is magical nothing beats the feeling..mine will be 13 and 7 never really thought I would have had a bother I feel old..think it maybe that I had them early on haha xx

Khaleesi85 · 31/01/2017 17:42

Hi lovelies! Can I join?

I'm on cd22 of a normally 28-30 day cycle.

Currently experiencing cramps, have had nauseous feelings, taste is a bit off too.
But I think I'm over analysing everything.

I tested today and yesterday both BFN but I know logically it is WAY too early to test.

I feel so sure this month that I'm pregnant but fed up with the fact I got BFNs 😢

Trying to stay positive but think I'm passed getting pregnant now I'm 31 and have already had 2 kids 😫

jmariehac · 31/01/2017 17:57

Khalee hiya....I'm 31 and this is number 3...so definitely not to old even though it feels it haha..I got a positive 10dpo so would of been day 23 I think I had a negative the days leading to that..good luck..I just felt different had an inkling so tested everyday haha I'm really impatient xx

Khaleesi85 · 31/01/2017 18:30

Hi jmarie,

Thank you! Nice to know someone else my age has conceived and getting negatives before the bfp! Congrats on your bfp.
Did you have any symptoms leading up to before you got your bfp?

I'm a terrible poas addict! ☺ I try my best to avoid testing because it's so disheartening seeing a negative when your so desperate for that positive!
And I know there are plenty of women over 30 who get pregnant and have babies but I worry it's my body telling me I'm too late now.
My previous LO's were from an abusive relationship, and now I'm with the man I'm going to marry and so happy. To have a child with him would be amazing.
I just feel like now I'm planning to have a child, I won't. Silly thinking, I know!

I'm really down now after my negative test today. But I know it's still early days and it's not over until af shows!
I must not test...I must not test. Should be my new mantra! 😂

jmariehac · 31/01/2017 18:46

I had a little cramping...I kept feeling hungry and had bad headaches..I tested everyday from day 17 or something haha even though that's far to early. Aw I'm pleased your in a better place now hope you and you hubby to be get your bfp I've been with mine since I was 17..he always wanted a bug family but he doesn't do the carrying haha. How old are your kids mine are 13 and 7 so quite big age gap xx
