10dpo what is my body doing?!

[amehh]

Good morning all, I'm 10dpo and I had brown spotting at 6dpo only when wiping and horrendous cramps in the evening (might be IBS related though), more pinky/red spotting on 7dpo and cramps and was convinced my AF was starting a week early. I went for a run so popped a tampon in as sometimes it starts mid run, took it out when I got home and it had brown and what looked like creamy cm on it, no more for the night. 8dpo just a weird sensation in my stomach, not cramps but hard to explain, same again on 9pdo and the tiniest dot of brown spotting in my underwear. 10dpo and nothing at the moment but I'm just so confused - waiting for AF to start for days and days is exhausting! I'm fine if it IS AF, I just want to know!

Additional information: I've had a stinking cold for over 2 weeks, currently a sinus infection so have had bad headaches and feeling run down. Also been super emotional the last few days and not very hungry until this morning and now my stomach won't stop rumbling. I've been bloated for days and also I'm now a bit constipated whereas (TMI!!!) I am usually quite loose, thanks IBS! AF is officially due Thurs/Fri.

Not really sure what I'm asking but just needed to get that all off my chest!!!

@Louise392 how are you today? Still holding out to test? I finally let some of my craziness out to DH last night and we both agreed waiting until at least Saturday would be good as I would be 1 day late then.....so why am I still thinking about tests?!?! ARGH. I blame half term and not being at work

Hi @amehh I am good thank you, still have a headache this morning though that has not gone off much over night.
Boots have said my FRER's are ready to collect after 12 but i am going to wait til tomorrow morning i think as then it will be FMU and another day and dpo past.

My husband is so laid back about it he doesnt even ask and when i speak about it he doesnt much listen, think its because he doesnt want to get his hopes up either.

Due af in 3 days and last month i had brown spotting the day before so time will tell but its regular always on the same date 23rd each month.

I know what you mean, you have more time think about it and go and poas when you are at home, i am a wedding florist so most of my work is at weekends so i am glad that the kids are off this week keeping me occupied all day.

@Louise392 my DH is the same, never brings it up so I don't tend to either but last night we just had a small chat about it (and by small it was probably 2 minutes!). I remember last month knowing AF was going to start because I was spotting but it just wouldn't get going so I went for a run and bam, there she was. I haven't really spotted much in a few days now and I'm not as crampy but definitely not feeling right in the tummy area either.
I've decided being home is a nightmare with me googling so we are going for a mooch in town, I know I'll buy the tests today because it would be silly to have to go back on the weekend but I'll not wee on them, I swear!

I'm 12dpo and keep reading of sore/veiny boobs being a big thing but mine are just the same pancakes they always have been! Can't remember them being too bad when I had DS though, I just had terrible backache for the entire pregnancy - got off pretty lightly I think!

Turns out I'm a crazy person after all! Before I have left to go to town, I've dipped a bloody opk (because why not?)....now what does THIS mean?!?! I know it's not quite positive but it's the darkest negative I had all month iykwim? Hellllllppppppp!

Dont blame you @amehh I have just been to town and sainsburys thinking ill pick up my frer on the way home and forgot! Hubby going to get them on the way back home/ from gym for me now.

What you like haha! I have seen some posts saying they have done a opk and its been positive and then tested on a hpt and its also positive so could be a bfp :)

@Louise392 I honestly don't know what I was thinking I've got my FRER, a superdrug own and a Poundland own so maybe I'll wee on the Poundland one tomorrow or something (don't tell DH!), I want to save my FRER for when I'm pretty certain though

Lol @amehh your like a preggo testing shop :)
That is why i am waiting as the frer are more expensive and i dont want to have to buy more of them lol

An ovulation test will give you a positive for pregnancy, I know this as I used them for my last pregnancy when DH banned me from buying more pregnancy tests! Mine looked like that and I was definitely pregnant, that baby is two next month...

@Louise392 I'm absolutely not peeing on the FRER unless I'm 99% certain, they were so expensive! I honestly don't know what's happened to me this afternoon haha

@mistermagpie I have definitely been out of sorts and if I haven't got cramps I have flutters in my tummy (kind of like butterflies when you are nervous) constantly. Maybe I'll POAS tomorrow morning, I've never been good at holding a wee in the day because I make an effort to drink lots every day! Don't suppose you remember what dpo you were when you got the opk line do you?

Dont blame you @amehh I am doing my first one in the morning then ill wait til after af is due saturday, if that comes and goes then ill try one again.

I was further along by that point, probably more like 20dpo but I had had positive pregnancy tests by then (lots of them!) and was just using opk's because I'm mental!

I reckon you're pregnant...

@louise392 @mistermagpie

I'm a nutjob, I've peed on the Poundland one - am I nuts? This is at the 5 minute mark that it says. Oh bugger, I tested without DH I feel bad - what do I do now?!?!?!

Yey!!!! Its a BFP!!! Congrats @amehh

Do your Frer with DH tomorrow morning and shock him lol.

@Louise392 do I pretend I didn't do this one? Or do I say tomorrow that I took one but just wanted to be sure in the morning with him? I'm a bad liar and I'm bloody shaking now. Oh god

Depends how you think he will take it @amehh?

Can you run through your current signs/symptoms/cm so that i can match all mine up and hope and pray mine are the same online for a BFP like you? :)

He is out for dinner with his friends so I have about an hour to pull myself together!

@Louise392 yes of course! I started spotting and cramping at 6dpo, 7dpo was reddy brown so thought it was early af, calmed down by 8dpo but still cramps until 9dpo when it's been a weird fluttering feel g ever since. I've been less hungry than usual although not sicky and had a bad back the last couple of days but that's not unusual for me (I sleep strangely). My CM has been creamy/sticky but I feel a bit wet as well if you know what I mean? Oh and horribly emotional and tearful.

I think that's everything!

I really hope you have a bfp too! We can match :)

Eek congratulations! X

Thanks for all the signs @amehh. Me too would be good to keep a track of our pregnancies :)

I have got my tests now all outta the box ready for tomorrow morning.. just gotta wait till the morning now :)

I did a test for my second without DH, he wasn't bothered. I think I just wanted to be sure before I got his hopes up!

Just tell him you did this one, he won't mind. Oh and congratulations!!

@Louise392 @mistermagpie so after avoiding it got AGES I finally said something and he was just amused that I thought he would be mad! We agreed to do another this morning and one more on Saturday (since I'll officially be late by then) - here is this morning's

Louise, have you tested yet? I found it really hard to wee this morning!!!

Morning @amehh, aww thats great news YEY!! BFP!!

and guess what???

I got mine this morning too!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WHOOP!!

@Louise392 OMGGGGGGG NO WAY!!! Congratulations I'm so happy for you!!!!!!! We are basically pregnancy twins!

I know @amehh :) Thank you :) Hubby was having brekkie in the kitchen so i went and poas and brought it down and placed it next to him, he was like is it negative? I was like put your glasses on haha!
