@Destiny25 I'm only 6 DPO.....but I keep getting like a light cramping and this weird sensation like a pulled stomach muscle. I had this feeling when I was pregnant with my daughter but I guess I could still just be hormone related but not actually pregnancy.
Also feeling really hungry with a sickly feeling but again could just be normal hormone related.
I know it's too early to notice things but I get anxiety and I'm very very conscious of any physical sensations- I hate the fact I'm like this when it comes to anxiety!

@MrsSkr apparently some women always have some form of a line throughout their cycle.
I didn't, but try and keep in mind these tests aren't perfect and won't be perfect for everyone all the time either. I think as long as you saw it go really dark then that's a good sign.
Even then though- I've seen reviews where people say they never got a dark line and still got pregnant.

I'm due to test next Friday Shock

HappyGirl86 · 25/08/2019 23:20

Haha @claireb707 I've had to learn them as they were confusing me!
Days past ovulation = DPO

Thanks both, suspected it was that but couldn't be sure...
I'm currently thinking every little thing that feels different is an early symptom but then also trying to be realistic and telling myself it won't happen on our first attempt (my age and the fact I've not long come off the pill are against us).
It's going to be a very long week!!

claireb707 · 26/08/2019 06:43

Trying to work out at the moment whether I've got wind from eating too much carbs over the weekend or its cramps Confused

Destiny25 · 26/08/2019 08:25

I'm due to test Friday, 10dpo today!
All day yesterday I had a shooting sharp pain in my boob and the odd one in my lower belly but not sure what that could be. I don't think it's my month just because we only dtd 3 days before ov.
Has anyone else had any symptoms and how are we all doing?

HappyGirl86 · 26/08/2019 09:39

I've got terrible wind all the time! @claireb707 can this be a symptom from coming off the pill? Or pregnancy? Probably both! Haha!

@Destiny25 are you going to test today? You can get positives at ten days! Do it!!!! Eeeek

Destiny25 · 26/08/2019 10:12

@HappyGirl86 I've just picked a first response up from Asda but I don't know if I dare do it haha!

MrsSkr · 26/08/2019 10:20

Eeek do it!! Just remember though, if its negative, that doesnt mean it's a no so dont be disheartened!! I'm so excited for you xx

HappyGirl86 · 26/08/2019 10:22

Do it! Do it! Do it!!

Just like @MrsSkr says it doesn't mean anything if it's negative!

Destiny25 · 26/08/2019 10:31

I've done it, thought I saw a line when it was doing its thing but it's not now bfn, I'm honestly not expecting it this month anyway but curiosity always gets involved haha!

HappyGirl86 · 26/08/2019 11:21

Well it's only 10 days.......that could change in a couple of days.....it's not a negative for sure yet!

claireb707 · 26/08/2019 12:42

I did a test this morning too Shock also a bfn

Destiny25 · 26/08/2019 12:56

claireb707 · 26/08/2019 13:01

Destiny25 · 26/08/2019 13:59

Ive just got random pains in my boobs n the odd backache/af ache.
I know for a fact af will be here for me but it'll probably play a game and show up a few days late 😂🤦🏻‍♀️

HappyGirl86 · 26/08/2019 14:33

Hate this waiting game!! I have no patience.

Destiny25 · 26/08/2019 14:51

@HappyGirl86 me too!
I just went to sit down and a massive sharp pain went through my belly what the hell could that be! It was well weird not had that before!

HappyGirl86 · 26/08/2019 15:41
