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.

Sorry for TMI, last 2 days I've had yellow tinged CM- not an infection- not normal for me this time of the month. Would you test?

@sasbiscuit good luck for testing! 🤞🏼 how are your feeling?

@laura2093 any other symptoms? And how many dpo are you?

@sasbiscuit I hope you get the result you want when you test. I'm going to test Thursday or Friday. AF due this weekend.

@laura2093 definitely test if you feel the time is right, when are you due AF?

I'm 9 DPO - one app is telling me to test at 12 DPO - Saturday (7 DPO) I had such bad cramps as if AF was about to happen, then they just went. I had a killer headache yesterday and feeling a bit nauseous today. This CM started Saturday too, and is quite heavy in the mornings.
I have also had VERY vivid dreams and very restless the last 2 nights. My mind is blown!

@laura2093 I'm 9DPO today too and I have had cramps the past couple of days which just go away after a while, I have had a bout of nausea as well the other morning too and a couple of unsettled nights as well which isn't like me.

I don't normally get any symptoms of AF making an appearance each month either and if I do then its cramping but the day or evening before so all what I'm experiencing seems so unusual for me.

@allthingssparkly Oh my fingers are crossed for us both - we have been trying since April 2020 🤦‍♀️ I'd love to see the light at the end of this tunnel!

@laura2093 thank you, my fingers are crossed for you and I hope you get your BFP soon 🤞 x

Tested today - negative- 10 DPO

@laura2093 sorry about BFN, still very early tho 🤞🏼

Hi ladies. So I tested tonight but then got distracted by putting the kids to bed. When I went back to check I did see a faint line but im sure its an evaporation line and that my symptoms are possibly pms due to erratic periods. I'll text again in a week or so as the time which I believe i conceived was only like 2 weeks ago. GL to those hoping for a bfp.

Test

@ShellsandSand I can see a faint line, if you have another test you could test this morning with FMU?

CD27, AF due today so I finally tested - BFN

@Ginini I just had the one but I've popped some in with my amazon prime order that arrives today.

@ShellsandSand maybe test tomorrow morning with FMU then! I can see a faint line on That picture! Is there any colour to it?

@sasbiscuit sorry about BFN today, not out till AF arrives!

Has anyone used the pregnancy tests from Home Bargains before? I picked a pack up today for when I test at the end of the week, just wondered if they're accurate ect. 🙂

Hi Ladies, Can I join? Been ttc no.2 for 14m now. Around 12dpo today. Been having unusual symptoms this month, very sore bbs, cramps left side that get quite bad then go away, restless nights, feeling queasy etc. Had a very very faint positive yesterday and again this morning (FRER) then a definite negative (Clear Blue). Starting to think ive begun hallucinating in hope for a bfp. Hope you ladies get the results you's are looking very soon!

@ShellsandSand I can definitely see a second line on your test!

@allthingssparkly I've used them one when I tested, was a negative and wasn't pg so can't comment about how early/well they detect positives! 😂 I didn't get a false positive or evaporate line tho!

@Ginini Thank you for letting me know, I'll try one on Friday 🤞

@dreamingofanother welcome!
Sounds very confusing! But FRER I hear are more reliable than clear blue, maybe test again in a few days x

Af arrived- i am beyond gutted and starting to think something is clearly wrong. I have regular cycles, picking up ovulation. My doctor has actually begun some investigations on me and my party (blood test and swabs).
I am not ok. Xxx

@laura2093 sorry AF has arrived! How long have you been TTC?
I'm glad your GP has started some investigations!
TTC can be so disheartening sometimes! Here if you need a rant ❤️

Thankyou @Ginini ❤️ I just don't understand it. We have been trying since March 2020, our doctor is being so lovely as it is really getting me down. Xxx

@laura2093 I'm so sorry it's taking so long, I know the average time to conceive is about 12months, I think when we see people announce pregnancy's we assume it happened straight away for them! For some reason people see it as a competition, who can get pregnant easily and who can't! We're all different and some people are just luck I think!
Hang in there ❤️
