Am I pregnant?!

[SamanthaC1990]

Hello everyone.

I am looking for some advice. I'm due my AF on Sunday, I usually have a 34 day cycle. I've been feeling a bit odd for a while but since yesterday I've really felt like AF is coming, I've had cramping - which I don't usually get until my period is here, slight back ache and occasional shooting pains on the left side of of cervix/uterus. Anyway, like I said I'm not due on until Sunday, these pains have been going on all yesterday and all today! I keep on going to the loo thinking AF had arrived but there's nothing. Also feeling a little nauseous and I was lying down earlier and could taste blood in my mouth.
I've taken some test but been BFN for now but it still be too early. Last time I had intercourse - TMI sorry! was last Monday night so I could only be 8/9 DPO so could this still be too early for a HPT to pick up?

What are your guys symptoms at the moment? I have stomach cramps at the moment, dizzy spells, head aches, and my boobs are sore. They arent too bad though. I also am quite nauseous and I've gone off cheese toastie as I cant stand the smell of cheese melting which is very unusual as I love cheese toasties. TMI I know, but I've been getting weird sort of twinges down there, is that normal?

Just wanted to update you all. As you know I got my bfp and I was feeling sick with sore boobs... Etc, anyway the sickness faded and now I'm bleeding. Must have been a chemical pregnancy. 😔💔

Sorry to read that Samantha, read the thread through and really pleased you got your BFP. Was definitely a line, such a minefield. Next month!

Really sorry to hear that @SamanthaC1990. Take care of yourself.

I'm not having much more luck- AF came today so that's a no for this month and I've had random health difficulties in the last week that have resulted in hospital wanting to refer me for an outpatient CT scan so I've been told I have to stop trying to conceive until after I've had the scan. (But no one has told me how long it will take to get the scan date through so I feel like I'm in some kind of TTC limbo). Just feeling rather sorry for myself as we were very lucky the first time around and conceived DS on our first cycle. This time it all feels so much more uncertain and there's now a much larger age gap than I'd ever have originally wanted... plus who knows when we can start trying again now. I know AF doesn't help my mood but I'm feeling rather down about it all today.

So sorry Samantha, my AF is here also :( xxx

[SamanthaC1990]

So here I am again... What do you guys make of this? I see a very VERY faint line. I'm about 9/10 DPO. I have sore boobs and a slight sicky feeling. What do you think? Would you test again tomorrow or in a few days? I've brought some Clear Blue digital tests. X

pregananancy is a beautiful thing, you are truly blessed.

You'd be better staying away from the blue dye tests because they give false positive in v v v faint lines. You can get a 2 pack test strips pink dye in tesco for £1

[SamanthaC1990]

I've brought some of the Clear Blue Digital ones. X

@samanthac1990

I can definitely see something there! Perhaps test again tomorrow morning ? Fingers crossed!! Xx

Hey ladies (new here )
I'm following this thread as I'm in a similar position, been waiting for today to come as my period was due since coming off the pill (Yasmin) and my AF hasn't arrived,but took a cheap strip test on Friday evening which was negative and now I'm scared to re-test! 🙈 I have a Morrison's test that my sis in law gave me and was going to wait (if I can) until a couple of days after my AF was due but I'm thinking I might try it tomorrow ..scared! No symptoms but getting some ovulation type pains! Could this mean I'm not?

[SamanthaC1990]

Thank you! Yes I am going to do a Clear Blue digital in the morning. It'll be 5 days before my AF is due but according to the packet you can test that early. I'll test tomorrow and if it's a negative I'll wait until the day my period is due. 🤞🤞

[SamanthaC1990]

Did the clear blue digital this morning and it said 'Not pregnant' so I took it apart and I can definitely see a line! Now there's mixed ideas online about what the lines mean in the digital tests...some saying you're pregnant and others saying that all of the tests, pregnant or not have multiple lines. So I've another test left as I got a two pack but I'm going to save that until after AF is due. For now though, I've ordered some internet cheapies for the days in-between...😂 #Obsessed

I swear by the tests in home bargains! When I've used them, ive always found out on the day my period was due, or just before. They are only 79p for 3!!

[Vebrithien]

In terms of symptoms, I've had 5 pregnancies (only got 1 DD) and every time I have had sickness from 3w1d.
Those early symptoms did usually come with period like cramping.
This has been the same, regardless of whether the pregnancy was successful or not.
I've always found the pink dye tests better though.
I hope that you get the result you want. Your most recent photo, I'm not sure if my brain is trying to complete the picture, or if there is a real squinter there.

[SamanthaC1990]

I'm not sure what to think today. I had been feeling a little sicky but it's been less so over the past few days and my boobs hurt less (TMI 😂). I did have that nasty metallic taste in my mouth earlier but I don't know! I'm not due on until Sunday so I'm still five days before but I don't know what to think as I had that faint line.
I've ordered some tests and they're coming tomorrow by royal mail so my question is , if I wee in the morning in a cup or something will it 'keep' so I can still test with FMU?

[SamanthaC1990]

I did an internet cheapy this morning but it was negative but I've read a lot of posts about how they're not as sensitive as they claim...etc, I then went to the shops and got some Sainsbury's own ones and I am sure that I can see a faint line. It's driving me made. My AF isn't due until at least Sunday so I know I'm still early but I'm also very impatient.

@SamanthaC1990 I’ve used the sainsburys tests in the past and had faint false positives. There’s a few threads on the conception forum about them. Try and get a pink dye test. I’m 35 weeks now and found out I was expecting my gorgeous boy on a First Response Early Results. I bought some internet red dye cheapies and I got a faint pink line. Took a FRER and got two dark lines straight away. Expensive but you can buy a double pack on Amazon for around £7-£10. Oh and as hard as it is. Don’t test until you’re due on! Good luck! 😘
