Calling all symptom spotters

[Seeinglines]

I’m currently 8dpo and I think I’m pregnant. Obviously too early to do a test yeah I did one any way and it was bfn so just symptom spotting til bfp or af turns up.

I had an early miscarriage at five weeks last month. I wasn’t going to do and opks this month but did one anyway positive opk on cd14 and cd16 negative on cd17.
But basically I’m having the same symptoms as last month. Some slight abdominal pain, some indigestion, really dry cracked lips, really emotional, really strange smell to my urine. All of which I had last month just before or around my bfp. Insomnia too, but I do work shifts so this could explain that. I just feel pregnant.
Anyone want to keep me company while we wait the week out?

@pasbeaucoupdegendarme AF arrived this morning but it's a relief to know either way so we can start again next month! Bit disheartened cause you do start to think what if?

Westie, I think I'll end up the same as you. I've got something in the back of my head asking "what if the tests are wrong?" But realistically, I know this isn't our month. AF will be here any day.
Keep us updated in March?

Did a clear blue digi and says not pregnant so think my body may be playing tricks on me...

I’m so much in two minds about dc3 that I don’t really know what to think!

Sorry, hadn’t reloaded the page before commenting. Bad luck Westie 😞

@applesauce1 defo, u ladies staying on the thread for March? Going to go for it next month, will need fellow symptom spotters lol

@Westieandlittleboymama I'd love to stay on this thread for March. I already feel like we've started to get to know each other and I don't want to lose you on the enormous bus threads.
Shall we share a little more about ourselves?
I'm 29, TTC #1. Started TTC in Feb. Cycles are between 35 and 39 days. Currently cd40.

27, TTC #2 and currently in AF so starting again! I will need to gear myself and DH up for a month of TTC x

cd 7 and af finished yesterday so we are ready for the fw in 7 days time, i will start doing opks at around cd13

@winterwarmers & @applesauce1 well we will go for it then and FX we will get those BFP's

Just popping back in to say af is now about 6 days late 😬 Haven’t done another test since Friday as quite frankly it’s peeing on money 😂 I’ll test again if no af by next Friday. I’m feeling a bit FFS about is all!

My cycles that I've tracked have been between 39 and 35 (I made the assumption that they'd be getting shorter and more regular) so I'm now between 7 and 3 days late for AF. I tested with a French test (I was absolutely desperate to pee and trying to hold it in until I could work out the instructions!) on Saturday and with an Amazon cheapo this morning. Both negative.
I'm not sure whether to presume that I just skipped it and start the sperm meets egg method as normal? I stopped 'just in case' wearing my mooncup because what's the point.
@pasbeaucoupdegendarme let us know when you've tested! How are you feeling?

apple feeling totally normal 😂 Apart from confused!

How odd that you’re in the same situation. Are you back from the slopes now?

@pasbeaucoupdegendarme
Only just read that bit about peeing on money! So true!!
Been back from the slopes for a week (although it doesn't feel like it - I'm so tired of snow now!). I did another digital test on Wednesday which was negative. I had cramps this morning and think AF has come. It's brown though. Any ideas what this means?
I really really don't think I'm pregnant, but am so annoyed with this abnormal month. I'll have no idea when I'm ovulating (DH will have to put up with me jumping his bones every other day until next AF or BFP) and this long cycle means I have to wait EVEN longer to test. I've already proved what itchy fingers I have...
Anyone have any good news?

I poas again yesterday am and still bfn.

I know just what you mean about a long random cycle. I had a really weird one before I got pg with dc2 - except mine was a long long bleed rather than lack of it. The gp thought I’d maybe “conceived” but not implanted properly. It did work next cycle though so fingers crossed it’s similar for you!

Hey guys, Well that's me TTC again, second proper month and got everything crossed! Mind u my AF last month was really light and lasted 3.5 days and was more like brownish discharge (sorry I know TMI)! DH thought I was pregnant cause I've been getting sick at nights! Really weird time the now, u just convince yourself cause u really want it

Af arrived last night/this morning with a vengeance... only about three weeks late!!! What on earth was that all about?!

@pasbeaucoupdegendarme 3 weeks late?! Our bodies are trolling us. Mine only lasted for 3 days. Hope you get a short one too. March is our month. I can feel it in my bones.
Am I meant to be giving up caffeine for optimum conception chances...?

@Westieandlittleboymama I agree. When you really want it so much, maybe it just confuses your body about what to do? I imagine my womb saying, "I'm trying my best with what I've got, and I want to make you happy... but there's no baby here this month. Sorry"
I hope I'll have more restraint with stick pissing this month.

I beg af’s pardon, it wasn’t three weeks, it was two weeks late. Felt longer as I think I first tested about 5 days before it was due!!
