Mumsnet jury: day 20 of cycle getting nausea & cramping: pregnant?

[Birthhippy9]

Would be great if you could tell me if you'd had any symptoms at this point? It's too soon for a first response POAS so if you could keep me company that'll be lovely.

I had nausea and slightly painful boobs if they got knocked from about that point in my cycle and I was pregnant, it was an awful wait to test. Fingers crossed for you.

Thanks. I have been hit by a long wave of dizzy cramping & exhaustion. Tingly thighs and hot flushes. I must sound like a joy to be around! Maybe I am wrong and I have food poisoning I have 28 day cycles just what day can I do the first response poas is it day 22 or 23 ? (maytreearch paces whilst looking green)

I got my positive on day 25 with an internet cheapy, it was very faint, thought it was negative at first until I double checked. I don't know about First Response, but you might get a positive on day 23 if it's sensitive enough and you do it first thing. I got some cheapies from ebay, bought 20 (and used more than half of them over the next week or so) but they only cost about £4.

I think it depends on the length of your cycle & ovulation timing. I have a 23/4 day cycle & ovulated on cd10 so got a positive HPT on cd20. No symptoms at that stage though in fact my PMT symptoms had gone & I thought I was on the way to AF. I used a 1st response - just a plain one, not digital, as I think they just cause confusion. Good luck! Xxxx

Thanks no sign of food poisoning so I am hopeful

Goodness, who would have thought this would inspire a deleted comment.
Mind boggles.
