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...

@kee80 that's a good sign!!!

I think I got a vvv faint line on a FRER this morning. Going to check again on Sunday. God I hope it is a line!

@Curlypop fingers crossed.

I got another bfn this morning. Took test apart saw a very faint line think it was an indent did have a little touch of colour at the end of it 😫

OMG @curlypop that's so exciting, have you got a pic??
Have you been getting any more symptoms?

Fingers crossed for sunday! How many dpo are you?

@kee80 was it a frer?

My boobs have grown a cup size and are sore. My back hurts like hell. Both happened when I was pregnant before. I have a pic but it's doesn't really show anything but will attach for fun
I reallllly hope it's a line and a sticky one if so!

Not a great pic at all!

Those bloody tests are a nightmare to take a picture of - I can't see anything but if it's a squinter the camera won't pick it up!
Your symptoms sound VERY promising. No sore boobs here, which were my first symptom before, so I'm doubtful I'm going to get a BFP this month. Do feel a bit weird and queasy this morning, but could be mind over matter

How many dpo are you @curlypop?

I'm 9 or 10 so pretty early. When are you testing @whyhastherumgone ?

I can't see anything either @Curlypop but it is hard to pick up on camera. Do another in the morning 😬

@whyhastherumgone frer is a first response. I've given up don't think it's my month. Surely I would have had at least a squinter

These were mine I took apart. Think there just indents 😫

I was due AF yesterday, woke with bad AF cramps, but no AF appeared. Still not here today and the cramps are gone. Did a FRER but negative! The only time I was late before I was pregnant but all symptoms have also disapearred :(

that's so strange @MrsMDD would this be your first pregnancy? I have read that some women won't show a positive until a week after their missed period!! Due to different levels of hormone in different people.

@Kee80 I still don't think you should rule it out, I got complete blank as blank can be negatives until 12-13 dpo previously.

I don't think I'm going to test until my period is actually late (if it is) if I can hold off as I don't want to waste any money on damn tests! I spent too much last month for nothing

@whyhastherumgone every time I've used first response I've always had a clear line or blank negative. These tests have really got to me. Sure they are indents but never had them before. I won't be using them tests again!

In fact I'm not going to test now just wait for af.

@whereistherumgone no I have a 7 year old ds, but never tried as such it just happened I was 19 and wasn't thinking about cycles and dates and in saying that didn't find out until i was a week late now that u say it!! Just reading all the stories on this that aF is just late so not getting my hopes up. Strange that the cramps would go though I suppose! Best or luck everyone @kee80 ive been using FREE too and not even getting an evap line lol

@Kee80 your not out until af shows! May be a indent but I'm sure it has a pink tinge to it! Test again in a few days!

@MrsMDD I'd rather have a a straight forward negative than an indent just messes with your head haha. I would give it a few more days and if still no period then take another test. Good luck

@Curlypop I'm going to hold out till after the weekend. Not getting my hopes up at all.

@Kee80 I know your right, so looks like we will all be testing in a few days. Fingers crossed 😊

@kee80 it does seem to have a pink tinge to it, but I suppose if you had to take the test apart to see it, it could be an indent. Eurgh what a mindfuck.
I think you're doing the right thing now waiting - so frustrating though, time goes so slowly doesn't it? And the worst thing is, you don't know if you're actually having symptoms or your mind is playing tricks on you!

@whyhastherumgone I know I'm going to forget about them tests. My own stupid fault for trying to examine it under every light possible haha.

Yeah it seems so long a wait.. every little cramp and niggle I'm thinking is that different or usual for me.... driving myself crazy!!

How’s everyone doing today?

Yesterday my DH asked me if I was pregnant because I didn’t fancy alcohol and was feeling really grim yesterday - not sick, but not right you know? I never used to get pmt symptoms but since having a loss at twenty weeks i do seem to have it more now, so it’s doubly hard to tell as i’ve only had a few cycles since my periods came back!

I felt like i really could be yesterday but today I’m not so sure. I’m hoping I am - doubly because if I’m not I think there must be something up with me :(

@whyhastherumgone bless hope your ok. Think positive. I'm the same since my losses I seem to get pmt a lot more now so not got a clue what's going on.
Been having a few little twinges but don't know if it's normal for me or not!!

Found a Poundland test in the draw so did it this morning with smu. A faint pink line came up straight away then disappeared after about 5-10 mins, not got a clue what that was about!!

May I join? —tentatively—

When are you hoping to test rum?
I am very confused, my cycles are usually 6-7 weeks (!) and occasionally it’s been as long as 8 weeks.
My last af was on the 20th March, which will be 8 weeks on Tuesday. I don’t know if I ovulate late, or miss a month or what’s going on really!
The only thing different for me this time is that I have no symptoms at all.. Usually a few days to a week before af I get cramps, sore boobs and headaches, which I don’t have right now. The only thing is I’m so tired all of the time, so no idea when I should actually test.
I’m thinking of waiting until after Tuesday, as that would be the latest I’ve been for my af, and don’t think I could actually take the mentality of testing and being confused or seeing no line, if that makes sense.

Good luck to everyone.

Well I'm officially obsessed with peeing on sticks!!

After my faint disappearing positive this morning I decided to do another this afternoon.....BFN.
Been having af cramps on and off all day.

Decided this isn't my month and thought fuck it (sorry for swearing) so got myself a bottle of wine... cheers
