Calling all symptom spotters - join me in my madness!

[whyhastherumgone]

I don't really think I'm gonna get a positive test this month, but there is a CHANCE as we dtd just before my positive OPK but not any more as I was ill.

So naturally, now that the seed has been planted (ho hum) i'm noticing all kinds of weirdness:

Left-hand pelvic pain
Kind of stabby left-had abdominal pain
Bloating and SO MUCH GAS (could be the over indulgent bank holiday weekend)
Heart rate really increased but has now dipped (Could be my stupid tracker which keeps malfunctioning and frequently thinks I'm dead)
funky smelling urine
SO TIRED
Feeling vaguely queasy

Anyone else? Let's compare!!! I can take a test in six days but I think I'm gonna wait it out to see if AF arrives as tests are so expensive...

First cycle for me properly trying to conceive here. Very bad AF cramps at 7dpo and then continued for a week. Also had right hand stabby pain and just weird shooting pains in pelvis in general like if I stood up or moved much? Super tired, veiny boobs (but not tender?) slightly dizzy, and thrush and piles to top it all off did a 6day early FRER on Saturday and it was negative. Did to cheapys yesterday also negative. Due AF tomorrow but I really don't think I'll get a positive this month!

I'm terrible with symtom spotting. I'm on cycle 2 I have no idea when I ovulated, I became addicted to taking tests last month and I tried to buy no more tests until closer to when af due but ordered some cheap ones on prime yesterday so they'll come today. AF is due 16th (but could come at any time as my cycles have been short) but my nipples are sore but no others symtoms really.

@mrsmdd thrush AND piles? you lucky thing, you
I'm super tired too, it's actually really really annoying, I'm not getting anything done.

@shortandstout1 we are due very similar time - I'm due 17th! i do think AF will come this time as well, despite all the oddness that's going on.

So frustrating that 'symptoms' can also be a sign of impending AF.

@whyhastherumgone I'm pretty sure af is coming this month and will probably come early saying that I've made it longer than my last 2 cycles .

@whyhastherumgone Yep both at the same time so utter feeling crap thankfully on the mend now as it was torture! Pretty sure AF on it's way though just to add to my misery lol

Hi all. Basically in the same position. We only managed to dtd about 3 days before ovulation. I'm due period I'm 17th I'm currently 9dpo did a test earlier bfn! I've been having period cramps for the past couple of days and boobs a little tender at sides when I touch them. Think I'm out this month!

@kee80 weird, our dates are very similar! Welcome to the symptom spotters club!

Today I can also add ravenous hunger to the two week wait weirdness - I'm so annoyed about it, recently managed to lose a load of weight and now I feel huge again.

9dpo is really early for a test - maybe try again at 11/12? You might still get lucky!!

@whyhastherumgone that is so weird. All I've done today is eat too haha. I've also been eating really well and lost 5lb now I feel I've put it all back on!
Prob just another af sign for me.
I've been really achy tonight and a few sharp twinges in the bottom left of my stomach. Hope it's a good sign.
When are you going to test?

Hi everyone!

My first pregnancy sadly ended in a MMC and ERPC procedure exactly four weeks ago. I'm pretty sure I ovulated on the 27th of April, so I'm about 11/12 DPO today. I've been getting sharp stabby pains in my right side for a couple of days now, and today went to the loo to be greeted by pink discharge....

The wishful side of me says it's implantation bleeding, but it's probably more likely to be AF showing her ugly face. But I haven't had any bleeding since the initial pink discharge...

I dunno.

Can I join?! I'm due 16th. Boobs are so so sore and bloody massive and I fell asleep on sofa this aft. Both other pregnancy's my boobs have done this so I'm really really hoping!

When are you going to test. @CobaltRose

I'lll probably test in two days if AF hasn't appeased by then!

*appeared...

Normally my boobs are quite sore this close to AF (due in two days) but they're not at the moment. Bizarre.

@CobaltRose @Curlypop both sounds promising. When will you test?

Sorry to here about your miscarriage I suffered 2 last year.

I think all my symptoms are just af can't really remember what they were like last time

@Kee80, in two days if AF hasn't reared her ugly head by then.

I'd be overjoyed if I were pregnant again but also terrified of another loss

Good luck @CobaltRose
I stupidly tested today at 9dpo... bfn. I have 1 test left want to wait a couple of days but know I'll end up doing it in the morning and be disappointed once again!

I know it really is terrifying once you've had a loss.
With my 2nd I was kind of expecting it.. just had a feeling

Hello @curlypop and @cobaltrose

Sorry to hear about losses, I've had two in two years too, it can really mess with your head! I have sort of half excitement at the thought of getting pregnant again and half terror, mixed in with fear that it just won't happen again...

Just done another frer soon as I woke up. 10dpo bfn. Gutted!!
Why do I do it 😫😫

ah @kee80 I'm sorry to hear it, but 10dpo is still so early!! I didn't get a line in either of my previous until 12 dpo and even then it was quite faint...so don't give up but sit on your hands and try not to test for a few days...

@whyhastherumgone stupidly bought another 2!!

Last night and this morning been having a few twinges to my bottom left of stomach. Hoping this is a good sign. There not same as af cramps. Prob just in my head!

Have you been having any symptoms?

@kee80 can you make yourself save them for a couple of days do you think?

When is your period due again?

I've been really horribly bloated. Uncomfortably so, so my jeans are tight. I normally get this around AF but I'm not due on for another week, so it's too early to be that. Could very well be bad diet though!

I've also broken out in spots on my scalp which I've NEVER had before, pregnancy or no, so not sure if that's anything to do with anything.

FWIW my Ovia app is telling me not to test for another 5 days so I think you were definitely way early if you're similar dates to me...

@whyhastherumgone your symptoms sound promising.

I usually get af symptoms about 5 days before.
I'm due 17th but could be either day before or after with me.

Not sure I'll be able to hold back from testing again. I'm so bad 🙈 may test again tomorrow and Saturday. If still bfn then will stop till af arrives

@kee80 I'm 18th! So we're close. I think Saturday would be a good day - there might be enough hormone by then to show up on an early test right?

I usually get AF symptoms 2-3 days before so I'm definitely early with the bloating. I just feel really shitty at the moment, not sick but kind of really under the weather.

I went a bit mad testing last month even though the dates couldn't possibly add up! Once you do one, it's like it's impossible to stop! Like pringles [grins]

@whyhastherumgone your symptoms do sound really good got my fingers crossed for you.

With my last pregnancy I tested at 11dpo and got a faint positive. Sadly lost that one. So think that's why I'm going crazy testing. I know every pregnancy is different.

With my son I didn't have a clue... I was 11 weeks when I found out 🙈

Your right once you start you can't stop haha

Well just been to the toilet (tmi) got a little bit of yellowy ewcm!! Not sure if this is a good sign or not???
