Trying For a Baby II

Anyone up for a bout of symptom spotting? :cool: I'm on CD26 of a 28-32 day cycle and today I had stapping pain in my lower left side for about 3 hours on and off. It was like a stitch but lower down and was quite sore. I'm hoping it's implantation pain but I'm not going to obsess about it like I did last month though :rolleyes: . I'm only 9 days past ovulation so won't be testing for a few days yet.
Baby dust to everyone.

You are almost the same as me - I am day 27 on 26-30 days cycle(unusual 14 DPO !!! - that is the max I got to in the last 15 cycles. Most of my cycles are 28 days, with an odd one of 30). I had really bad cramps on Monday when we were flying back to UK, and I had BBT to go down and up and down and up again over the last 4 days. I got sore boobs at the moment.
Was surprised yesterday, as I didn't feel anything until my OH came home and hugged me - I jumped back with the pain in my boobs!!!! They were fine this morning and then got really sore in the evening.
I had some spotting on Tuesday and Wednesday and I did a few HPTs... The last one I have an imaginary shadow line (I really mean imaginarry - it is probably just a damaged test, as I can see where the line is supposed to be) and my OH really can't see one. When I told him I think I can see a line, which would mean I am pg, he said show me a positive test!!! (Well, like I have a box of those lying around!!!)

Ok, now I got some pains and aches in usual places for before AF arrives, and I am pretty sure it will be there soon. I just hope it doesn't come too early tomorrow as the worst for is about 8 hours after it starts - then I have the worst pains and can't really stand straight or occacionally use any musscle properly below waist!

Ok, I am going to sleep and hope the BBT won't go any lower... Will probably do another test tomorrow morning... And if AF doesn't show up until Sunday, will do a proper Clearblue digital then. And that was me promising to myself that I won't do any tests till at least Saturday - I had 3 by now.... (ebay ones - so still money saving!)

I'm starting to suspect I might be pg again. I was walking back from the shops with my mother this morning. We were just walking and chatting, when out of nowhere I threw up a little. I'd been feeling nauseous for days, but as I had nausea last month I decided to just ignore it for as long as possible.

Since this morning, the nausea has worsened considerably, I've started to feel back-ache and (major tmi alert) I've developed really bad flatulence.:o My nipples are darker and the aureole are much bumpier. Apart from the fact that my breasts aren't tender I feel 100% like I did when I was pregnant.

It's making me a little crazy, I had determined to wait at least another week before taking a test. To distract myself as much as possible. That way if last time repeated itself I would never know for sure. But today I feel absolutely pregnant and I'm not sure if not knowing for sure would make it any easier if the worst happens.

On the otherhand if I'm not pregnant now and my body is just fooling me when my AF comes I'll feel like I'm miscarrying when I'll just be having a period.

I don't know what to do. I've tried talking to my dh, but he just doesn't get it. He keeps saying I need to stop thinking about it. But how can I stop thinking about it when every time I move I feel nauseous? Or everything I eat or drink gives me monster indigestion?

on cd23 and af has decided to show up, never had it this early ever, had tiny spotting last week, sore bbs and backache constantly, still got it now, so got my hopes up a bit. never mind bring on the next month, am confused as to how af came this early though

Good luck Gin and Gracie P, fingers crossed for us all and we will be able to venture up to the pregnancy thread soon. I can't even bear to look in that thread yet. I'm still getting the shooting pains in my side so hopefully somethings burrowing its way in, or else like last month I'm just picking up on every little thing to convince myself that I'm pg.

Sorry Vicky Jane, hopefully you'll get a BFP next month just in time for Santa coming.
Congratulations Skint chick, hope this is a sticky bean for you. x:T

Well, it is CD 28 - so average length cycle so far... Did another test this morning (well, two, as one of them looked like it could be damaged) and got exactly the same result as last night - if you look at the strip at a certain angle in a specific light you might see a shadow line... It is easier to see when you view the one from yesterday evening together with today's one. My mind is playing tricks on my, I am sure. But, fingers crossed - will do another test tomorrow morning if AF doesn't show up. But, I got the usual pre-AF pains and aches, so it is probably just around the corner. Also - some headache this morning... The temp stayed almost the same as yesterday, not very high, so it is another sign that AF might be coming?...

Gracie, I'd have to do a test cos I can;t bear not knowing lol. I think if you don't and AF comes if it's heavy you will think it's a mc anyway, so why not know for certain?

you do sound PG but I know what it's like not to want to think you are - bittersweet isn;t it?

Could you do a test now? How many days are you?

I did a test just now and it's a bfn. I can just about make out where the line should be, but it's definitely not a positive. But last time I had a couple of bfns before the bfp, so I could still be a bit early. It's day 30 today and last time it was day 32 before I got even the slightest, slightest line.

Or I'm just kidding myself, I guess time will tell, but I don't think the ebay tests are very good. I think I feel a bit calmer now. At least this way if my AF come in the next few days I won't be too crushed by it.

Day 30 is 4+2 yes? I didn;t get my BFPs until 5+4 so it is probably early.

I would try and monitor symptoms for a week before testing again. I knew I was PG both times but sometimes the hormone isn;t built up enough to show on a test.

I have never used eBay tests. I find Tesco ones very good as they show a nice clear line. I found Clearblue was very faint, although the digitals are obviously fabulous, as are Boots ones.

I know it is impossible but try to tell yourself you are not PG, you are expecting a BFN but will double check in a week if AF has not arrived, then count the days down!

I did this and was convinced I'd get a BFN even though my symptoms said otherwise because I'd told myself that over and over, and I think that's the best approach.

I think it is the end of joy for me - just been to the loo and got some blood and I am in pain and feeling a bit nauseous... I want to go home and curl up on the bed... There is always next month, isn't there?...
