Morning all!

I feel like I’ve been ‘good’ until now but am ready to do some serious symptom spotting. Would anyone like to join me?

TTC: DC#2
Cycle: 2
DPO: 7
Symptoms: just a few occasional crampy pangs and (sorry if TMI!) a little bit of diarrhoea yesterday (is this even a symptom?!)

Fingers crossed for a thread full of BFPs! 😊 x

Mummylanie3 · 07/05/2019 14:23

Jasmine7823 · 07/05/2019 14:27

Hello, can join I am due my af in 11 days and so far I have been suffering with too much saliva being produced for the last 2 day, today worse than

Jasmine7823 · 07/05/2019 14:29

Sorry dog knocked me and it posted lol, saliva is accompanied by nausea a few cramps here and there and backache. I've had no appetite but now I'm really hungry also had quite a bit of white discharge (sorry for tmi) scared I'm just convincing myself I am and Im not. The wait until I can test is horrible lol x

Starfish83 · 07/05/2019 14:35

Thanks Mrs EG - yes, will try and wait ‘til at least Thursday if not Friday.

Good plan, Mummylanie, stay positive!

Hi and welcome, Jasmine - I know what it’s like to spot everything as a symptom! How many DPO are you? xx

Hi starfish83 I'm not sure, I have had a mirena coil removed 3 weeks ago and been ttc since then so unsure of cycle and dates

Babytrain89 · 07/05/2019 20:49

Hi everyone! Super tired over here. Acne break outs. Still got cramping/tugging and AF not due for another 6 days. Got backache as well...boobs aren't as tender today but I just feel aware of them which might sound weird. Felt reeeallllyyyy sick after a coffee earlier and again just now so who knows! Baby dust to everyone. @starfish83 - that does look like a squinter to me!

Starfish83 · 07/05/2019 21:46

Those symptoms sound promising, Babytrain! 🤞🏼 When are planning on testing (sorry if you’ve already said in a previous post!)? x

@starfish83 Im too scared to get my hopes up! Still got cramps....its unusual for them to be this early.
Ah I wont test until AF hasn't arrived...due Monday 13th I believe, so will be 14th.

Starfish83 · 08/05/2019 07:48

Oh, I’m sorry Mummylanie. Hope you’re feeling better soon. Are you doing OK? xx

IAmNotPatientOrPregnant · 08/05/2019 08:21

Can I join? Desperately trying to get my hand on a first response as I think I've got a line but I'm dubious of the cheap test I've taken.

Every month I think I can see a line, every month AF comes! My symptoms have been very mild, I'm 10dpo today, had a little constipation last week, been really gassy the last few days, been very emotional. And today my boobs feel very slightly tender, not painful but they feel different.

I really hope it's my month!

Jonesydocandjr · 08/05/2019 10:27

Hey can I join?

AF due on the 11th and I'm trying my hardest not to test ! But I'm driving myself nuts symptom spotting a second ago I sneezed and realised I'd been sniffing all morning so obviously my brain went 'Symptom you must be preggers!' I don't even know if it is a symptom !!! Lol

I have also been having cramps all week. Dreaming the most vivid dreams every time I sleep! Lower back pain ( but then my backs not great anyway). Some slight nausea...

If only after the minute of conception you got a nice big plus sign on your belly and you could just be like ' oh cool I'm pregnant' lol

Sleepyhead11 · 08/05/2019 10:31

hello, sorry for late reply, am on holiday and trying really hard not to look at my FRERs. DP has buried them under the luggage but I know where they are. 9dpo, I think, but not really tracking. Feeling premenstrual though, so it might not happen this month. It's month three of trying and for some reason I had month three pinned as the 'it will happen month.' I know, lots of folk try longer, and I am being silly.

When are folk testing/re-testing?

How long should I hold off?

So sorry @Mummylanie - maybe see you on June bus, thread, but I am going to try to be less obsessive next month.

Starfish83 · 08/05/2019 14:09

Hi and welcome, newbies!

IAmNotPatient, sounds promising - any luck with the FRER?

Jones, I’m another crazy symptom-spotter! 😂 It’s so hard, isn’t it? At least you only have a few days to wait. Are you planning on testing on the 11th?

Sleepyhead, hope you’re having a lovely holiday! If you’re not having any ‘clear’ symptoms, you might be best to hold off if you can? When’s AF due?

I’m likely to retest as soon as I get some more PTs! 😬 x

@IAmNotPatientOrPregnant the symptoms are so real it is scary. I've been writing mine down this month, just so that next month I can calm myself down a bit. I SO hope it is your month, though.

@Jonesydocandjr well done for not testing yet! It is sooooooo hard.

@Sleepyhead11 I have no idea. Period not due till Wednesday, I'll probably crack on Sunday at 12dpo. It is my birthday on Friday and I'm half tempted to try then early tests are just so utterly pointless I really shouldn't.

Jonesydocandjr · 08/05/2019 14:44

@Starfish83 ok so I'm actually due on the 12th not the 11th . Just checked my calendar again and was like Doh! Anyway I'm totally testing on the 12th if AF hasn't raised her ugly head! I was going to wait a couple days into af but I'm heading down to my parents with the wee man so want to test before I go. Of course AF will appear and kill all these nice day dreams of a bfp!!

Starfish83 · 08/05/2019 16:46

Sounds like a good plan, Jones!

Here’s my today’s test at 9dpo. Must. Stop.Testing. xx

@starfish83 it’s so exciting though! If I ever get a positive FRER I think I would do a digital one just to be sure and that would be it. You are pregnant, lady 💃

Jonesydocandjr · 08/05/2019 17:57

@Starfish83 that's so exciting !!!!!! Looks good to me!

i will not test, I will not test, I will not test

Starfish83 · 08/05/2019 18:01

Thank you, Lime and Jones! 😊 Will keep you updated! Babydust to all and really hope we have some more BFPs on our thread very soon xx

Starfish83.. I am so happy for you.
I am hoping to get a positive test too. Hopefully by tomorrow or next week 🙏🏽🙏🏽.

Starfish83 · 08/05/2019 19:49

Thank you, User - I really hope you get your BFP! xx

Babytrain89 · 08/05/2019 20:30

@starfish83 no doubt on that line! How exciting!!!
Not sure what's going on with me! Guess time will tell.
Ya know youre going mad when you get a coldsore type thing and wonder if thats a symptom.
