Symptoms before testing

[allthingssparkly]

AF is due a week today so I'm considering testing around then if AF doesn't arrive. My cycles are normally regular and on time.

Yesterday and today I've had mild cramping and just felt a bit unusual, I haven't felt like this any other month!

Has anyone found themselves having very mild symptoms? I know some symptoms can be a sign of PMS but things just feel different.

I'm on CD24, had mild cramping down there probably last 6 days straight, AF due Wednesday. Resisting using my only test early!!

@sasbiscuit fingers crossed for you, it always seems a drag waiting for the date on or around AF but let's hope it's worth it 🤞

Yes me too! But not sure if it’s because I’m getting desperate and I’m symptom hunting 😂. My boobs are mega sore

Hey do you mind me hopping on? I am 7 DPO and today I have had mild cramps starting on my right and side and moving central. They have now gone. At around 4DPO I had some thick/creamy white discharge for 2 mornings. That has now gone- any guesses?

I have a feeling I may be pregnant. Same early symptoms as last time for me. Excess BO when I never normally have a 'scent' I have reeked for the last 3 days. Mild cramping. And just feeling flushed and weird.

Fingers crossed for us all 🤞 I've had a strange disconcerting feeling around my right side and in the middle similar to what you've explained Laura.

When is everyone testing? X

discomforting

I ovulated slightly late this month so I want to try and wait till next Saturday- I'm really hoping and praying! This is cycle 10 🤯

Please can I join you guys too! I'm 5dpo going to try and hold out until after at is due! This is my first cycle and I never thought I would be a symptom spotter but I've already been imagining mild cramps!

I'm testing next Saturday too (would like to hold out til Sunday if possible!!)
I've been feeling a bit niggly, sort of crampy. Not painful but just aware of it iykwim. I feel like af is coming but obviously not due for a week. Books felt sore earlier but better now. That might just have been me wearing a real bra for the first time in ages 🤣
I feel exhausted, but then that could be anything too!
I have had three dreams of positive pregnancy tests the last three nights so I think my brains gone haywire 🤣

@laura2093

I have my fingers crossed for you. It's such a drag waiting to test isn't it? I wasn't going to test until AF is due, but I do have a FRER test which I can get a result from as early as 6 days before I'm due.

I just really want to wait it out as much as it's a drag, I'll just have to keep myself busy 🤞 x

@ClaraBean ideally I want to test earliest Saturday too! Last night I had a really vivid dream about testing positive!

Yes! I have had hot, tender boobs, fizzy nipples, tiredness (falling asleep in the afternoon), persistent queasiness esp after eating and dizziness plus just generally feeling hormonal. If it weren't for the boobs, I would think I was sickening for something like flu, def feel off. No idea when AF due as first cycle post mc in mid December, 3 weeks ish ago. If all is normal again, AF should be mid next week. Also not entirely sure when I ovulated but we dtd a fair bit in FW. Not holding out hope for a bfp first cycle after mc, or indeed one that sticks, but some of this is feeling familiar from being pg a month ago. It could ofc be my hormones all messed up after that. Time will tell, I guess!

Fingers crossed everyone!

@ClaraBean

Ahh I'm glad I've found someone that's hoping for a positive result at the same time as me! 🤞

Honestly I haven't even been imagining these cramps, I have felt them it's so weird nothing I've ever experienced before which is what's making me think more about whether I am pregnant or not 😬 when I'm due on I just tend to get pain the night or day before not a week before 🤣 time will tell! X

Fingers crossed for everyone, sorry I can't keep up with all the comments 🙈 Best of luck! X

Can I tag along?
Think I'm about 9dpo, as I ovulated very early on in my cycle!
Had brown watery cm since yesterday although nearly stoped now! Hoping it's a positive sign, and had some strange cramps today too!

I'm the same ❤️ fingers crossed for us ladies!
I have some first response tests too but I really want to see if AF turns up before I test especially after the cramps today xxx

@Ginini - fingers crossed that's implantation bleeding for you!! Sounds positive!!
@MayDay27 - hopefully our dreams are premonitions 😁 I keep hoping it's my body telling me something, but more likely my poor brain has had enough!
I've put on a bit too much lockdown weight over the last while so trying to get off my fat arse and move. Went on a big walk today and my back was killing me, so ticking that off for another symptom.
I've even been relentlessly banging on about baby names to dp. Poor bugger!!

I did have period style cramps when my period was due and my daughter is now 10 months. I remember feeling like it could go either way - pregnant/period.

Fingers crossed for you all! ❤️

I had turbo charged PMT, would have argued with my own shadow. We were on holiday & nearly got divorced, we came home at the end of the week & I was no better. For some unknown reason I did a test, my period wasn't even late & I got a BFP.

My BFP is 17 in a couple of weeks time.

@ClaraBean hoping so 🤞🏼

@willowtree81 thanks for sharing! having bad cramps today so you've given me hope 🤞🏼

Anyone testing today? Tempted to go out and buy a test for tomorrow's FMU! Just don't want the disappointment of a negative result!

AF due Wednesday, testing either tomorrow or then... literally all I can think about!!
