new thread for over testers and symptom spotters!

[cakesandchocolate]

This is me..TTC no3, 6th cycle. Due AF (probably, all a bit hit and miss at the mo) on 23rd, already tested (-ve), silly I know, far too early
Have v sore boobs, or is it imaginary...
And I'm super tired, but then always am with a 3 and 1year old....
Anyone else out there?

When are you testing?? I have everything crossed for you! It is good news that your friend is ok- make sure she keeps an eye on it though- they told my sister she didn't have appendicitis- unitl it burst. She could have died if she wasnt already in hospital due to my mom and dads persistance! xx

Hi everyone,
I'm new to this thread..i'm currently on my first round of clomid 100mg and now on cycle day 15. I am the same as all you ladies prodding my boobs,convincing myself this is it but for the last 14 months it wasn't!!(sad)

I have no idea if i've ovulated as not been monitered but had the fertile cm days 9-13 and for the last 2 days have had really bad cramping and v v light spotting,don't know if thats good or not???does anyone know??

normally have long cycles 35-55 days so haven't got a clue when af should arrive and am desperate to start testing,but have decided i will have to sit on my hands this time..

If af does not arrive(keep everything crossed for me) then will test on cd 30. Really am trying to wait and not get my hopes up but its hard isn't it.

In the meantime good luck to everyone,thanks for this thread it really helps.x x x x

Hi bigtree Good luck and welcome! I know very little about this whole thing but it is nice to talk to others about it- and i think i am learning quite a lot too! xx

Thank you crunchy i think i will wait till Friday to test (argh!) as that will be day 14 past ovulation (i think). I took a test yesterday and it was neg (obviously as too early!) but today i have had more cramps and 'tingling' sore boobs .... eek!

Hi bigtree your cycle sounds as erratic as mine, but if this helps i think you ovulate 14 days before AF always, so whether your cycle is 30 or 50 days you will usually ovulate 14 prior to the first af day - i guess this is because this is how long the egg takes on it's journey?? not sure but sounds sensible. so i would test when maybe at least 10-14 days have passed with some symtoms? maybe this will be helpful?

Have you tested yet Heeby?? i have everything crossed for you xx

Hi cruncynutter and heeby
Thankyou for your replys..am driving myself nuts..felt so crappy yesterday cycle day 17 massive headache and so sickly and i gave in and did a test,i know i'm stupid and unsurprisingly it was negative.Hope its because its too early and not because it really is a negative..
Been having pains and bloating in stomach since cycle day 14 now pain has started to ease a little today,don't know whats going on its probably the clomid messing with me!
I'm thinking of you heeby good luck today i have everything crossed for you xx

hi ladies I am joining too. I am on day 23 of probably 28 ( i am not sure as I dont take any notice) and stupidly decided I needed to check. well quelle surprise its a negative..grrr. Although I am weeing a lot,feeling a bit queasy and had tummy ache today

arrghh

Hi all, I am ttc my first, (although only been trying properly for a month), but for the last year I have the same symptoms every month, and hoping I was pregnant. I always refuse to believe my period isn't implantation bleeding (stupid i know), and am convinced I have every other symptom going. I then spend £12 on a test, test in the afternoon, then refuse to believe that until I've tested a weel later in the morning!! My only saving grace is that I don't boob prod! Am I completey mad, or is this just wishful thinking?

Hi Crunchy i have a horrid few days, i was going to test on Friday but when i got up i was bleeding! this was day 27 of a 32 day cycle so quite early and i was really upset. But it wasn't a normal bleed, it was a little heavy to start then it totally stopped by the evening and then nothing overnight and today only a few spots. I still have tons of symptoms (boobs/queasy/faint ish/tired/weeing lots etc) so went to see the Dr to get some answers - each month i seem to have symtoms in the week before AF then AF comes and it takes me by surprise (this sounds like you littlemiss )

So i did a test for the Dr but she said she thinks it's too early for me and to test i a few days.

She said it's one of two things, either i'm pregnant and i'm bleeding lightly (implanatation or breakthrough) or it's my coming off the pill that is giving me hormone inbalances and making me 'feel' pregnant each month.

She did say that about 80% of women bleed in early pregnancy so that's reassuring!

So am playing the waiting game again, don't want to build my hopes up and am sick of looking down at every wee!

How is everyone else doing? Thank you so much for your good luck - please keep those fingers crossed.

ps littlemiss have a look at this site as they sell a pregnancy test called Advanced something, it's £5.99 for 5 tests and they are very sensitive. x

Oh Heeby- fingers crossed. Thats a lot to be thinking about though isnt it- Doctors underestimate how mad we drive ourselves 'waiting'. Fingers crossed it is implantation bleed though- a lady on another thread i am on has recently found out she is pregnant and she had it. Good luck and keep us posted! xx

Thank you, that's reassuring about the other lady - what thread is it? maybe i can read that one.

The bleeding stopped that next day and apart from the odd tiny spot nothing has happened and i still have all the symptoms.

I am trying to not think about it but like you say it is a lot to push out of your mind.

I have lots to do this week so have decided to wait till Friday - that way it should be definate yes or no.

EEk.

Hi Heeby- it is the 'First time TTC? lets get through this together' Thread! Two ladies on there had 'implantation' bleeding and have both had BFPs- unfortunately one of them thinks she has miscarried but that is completely unrelated to the implantation bleed so don't worry! I hope you are feeling more positive xx

hey all. With the over testing thing does over use of opk sticks count??? Its costing me a small fortune!!!!
