Thought i'd start a new thread so hopefully people can share what symptoms they're having on what day PO and then hopefully stay on to share the result at the end.

Might be a little easier having it all in one place with people that are going through the same other than googling it which is what I've been doing:))

I'm due AF tomorrow and usually have brown spotting by now but nothing! I want to test now but I'm not sure if I should wait to see if I miss my period before testing!

Laura2018 · 03/10/2017 13:07

JadeA021 thanks jade! How are you feeling?

Laura2018 · 03/10/2017 13:08

It looks like lower back ache is a common theme, fingers crossed for us all xxx

8dpo and I’m just constantly bloated. Nothing else other than a very sharp but very quick pain on my left hand side beneath by hip yesterday.

I’ve been bloated since ovulation though so am not thinking much of it.

Peachy92 · 03/10/2017 14:07

Such a good idea for the October train :) here hopefully my for all of us! We’ve been at it like rabbits this cycle it was hubbys 30th in September we’ve been celebrating a lot so I’m keeping everything crossed! I’m 11DPO and due on Saturday so won’t be testing until Sunday at the earliest! Normally have sore boobs and am tired all the time but they intensified 5DPO from and from then on hot flushes dizziness sudden ravenous hunger and nausea!

Hi all! I'm going to jump in here as well. It's such a lovely idea to have this :) especially during the ttw.

I'm ttc#1 and it's cycle 2 for me. I ovulated on Friday and I'm 4dpo. Starting last night, have had some really severe cramping. (Sorry if this is tmi but...) It almost feels like a bunch of needles are being driven into my uterus in a single spot to the point where I curled into the fetal position for about 20 minutes. My AF cramps aren't even close to that bad!

I've also been nauseous, a bit weepy, and have tender breasts, though the weepiness and tenderness is normal for this time in my cycle. I'm slightly lightheaded at times too.

AF is due 9 October. Am I the only one who hates that the majority of the symptoms of pregnancy are the same for AF??

CherryVicky29 · 03/10/2017 15:08

Cycle 2 for me and at the same time as last month 6dpo frequent urination has hit me! Really unsure what causes it, also tender breasts for me but other thank that nothing 🙂

SpongeCake23 · 03/10/2017 15:33

I'm 6 dpo.
I have tender breasts, some cramping in lower abdomen and pelvis, especially on the right hand side.
Feel very tired and thirsty. Also a little bloated and I've had a bit of an upset stomach.

The thing is, these are usually the symptoms I get before a bad period too ConfusedHmm

SpongeCake23 · 03/10/2017 15:35

Oh and my breasts feel very heavy too.
Not as hungry as normal...and quite tearful over the weekend.

JadeA021 · 03/10/2017 19:58

So glad people are joining this! Its so nice to be able to know everyone else's symptoms and when they encounter them so we know what we're imagining and what is actually there.

Here's another weird symptom for you all not too sure whether i'm getting a bug or whether its an early pregnancy symptom? but I've suddenly got the worst dry/Sicky taste in my mouth (sorry TMI) but I've never encountered it before and just wondered whether anyone else had? Currently 9DPO

JadeA021 · 03/10/2017 20:03

@VJONES1985 You have literally just described the past 8 days of my life.. Everything except the Temperature as I don't measure that. Everything else though is spot on.

Hopefully its a good sign!

VJONES1985 · 03/10/2017 20:05

@Jade021 Oh, how weird! When is AF due?

JadeA021 · 03/10/2017 20:08

@VJONES1985 Monday, how about you?

OP posts:
VJONES1985 · 03/10/2017 20:08

Sunday! Have you poas yet? I really shouldn't have...

JadeA021 · 03/10/2017 20:13

I did this morning and it was a BFN but i'm going to try again in the morning but If it comes back with another BFN i'm just going to wait until Monday.

OP posts:
VJONES1985 · 03/10/2017 20:14

I'm trying to convince myself to wait until Sunday but I know I will cave

JadeA021 · 03/10/2017 20:21

Its so difficult to wait when you're having all the positive symptoms and other people with the same symptoms get a BFP at this stage.

OP posts:
VJONES1985 · 03/10/2017 20:22

Yep :-(

peachesarenom · 04/10/2017 05:52

BFN today. I'm hoping it's just too early but it has made me recognise that I might not be preggers!

VJONES1985 · 04/10/2017 06:46

Me too...

CherryVicky29 · 04/10/2017 07:18

So I’m now 7dpo and for past two nights I have had extremely vivid dreams that make zero sense 😂

PumpkinPatch000 · 04/10/2017 07:40

Hello everyone!

How are you all feeling today? It looks like lots of us are having very similar symptoms and due AF very close to each other (I'm due 9th).

I'm finding the wait hard today, the not knowing is driving me crazy! I'm 9DPO today and my symptoms are lower abdominal cramps and tenderness, bad nausea to the point where sometimes I'm nearly sick, emotional (teary), lower back pain, boobs are tender but only if I push on them (TMI), bloating, increased urination. I'm also feeling either really hot or really cold. Not in a shivery feverish way but I'm always one or the other (I don't feel poorly). Has anyone else experienced that?

These are never things I experience in run up to AF, I usually only get some cramping either the day before AF or on the day and all this has been since 3DPO. I'm trying not to get my hopes up though....

Laura2018 · 04/10/2017 07:46

Morning, i'm due AF today and so far nothing but I'm suddenly too scared to take the test isnt that odd! I'm scared of both outcomes!

Peachy92 · 04/10/2017 12:18

@PumpkinPatch000 I know exactly what you mean. We all know most of our usual AFs and it’s when they’re exaggerated we start wondering. But brand new ones like feeling it from 3DPO / nausea / no steady temp / sudden ravenous hunger make me think this is the month! If no AF by Saturday I’m planning on POAS first wee Sunday morning 🤞🏻what about you? :) x
