Have you got any AF/pregnancy type symptoms 2 trying to become 3?

Hi Flee,

I've got lots of AF symptoms and have had since last Friday, really snappy (poor DH), bad back, the usual feeling like i have come on but nothing there!!

Its really like i've been on since friday but no blood (sorry for TMI)!!

If i stick my belly out i look pg lol - but that is just fat!!

Will test again one more time then coming off the list, its depressing seeing the date to test so long past!! Its great to see so many names on there tho!!

Will see if i can hold out til the morning...

xx

Where's the cheapest place to buy pg tests from ladies? it's seven days to go for me, but I like to be prepared Do you get what you pay for?

sexymouse

Cheapest place on the high street is poundland - you get 2 in the pack. Superdrug is £3.99 for one of £4.99 for 2 tests - they are meant to be quite sensitive so good if you are testing a couple of days before AF due.

#10. Head: Stuffy Nose
It may never occur to you that a runny or stuffy nose could be connected with being pregnant, but many women experience cold or flu-like symptoms in early pregnancy. This is due to higher levels of estrogen during pregnancy which can cause swelling in the mucous membranes throughout the body, including the nose.

You are SSing You must know not everyone with a cold is pg:D

Cheapest is online, like Amazon ones:http://www.amazon.co.uk/Ultra-Early-Highly-Sensitive-Pregnancy/dp/B001G61MU4/ref=acc_glance_d_ai_ps_t_2

Otherwise Poundland I suppose (never tried them) and supermarket/Superdrug own brand ones are the most sensitive. You don't get what you pay for, as cheaper ones show pregnancy earlier. Beware of blue dye ones, as evaporation lines looks very convincing +:o

After you get a faint +, it's time to go shopping for Clearblue digital with conception weeks indicator. Don't get them just yet, as it has expiry date and is expensive:o

Bigzee, your long LP does seem to indicate you got your ov date wrong:o That's unless you are pg ofcourse:cool:

I went onto fertility testing after 6 months of TTC (of which only 3 reasonably perfect timed BD:p), did all the testing, 7 clomid cycles of which 3 were with IUI, and one IVF, and I'm back to square one:o

I have the same symptoms of ov/post ov as I did last cycle, and feel the same (other than sorer boobs and still nauseous I guess) as I did at this DPO last cycle too... I think I just have a long LP I've tested every day (because I need to not let the hope of being pg rise too much between days, more than actually expecting a BFP, tbh )

I know what you mean about back to square one, but at least you know what you're facing I guess....??

Ah I see. Decisions, decisions eh.

With regards to DH and SA do you think he'd feel better if he did it at home? I had the same problem with my DH and we arranged for him to do it at home. It meant I had to drive to the hospital with a small tub of his produce down my bra (to keep it warm) but it got done

Possibly...

Yes I am thank you, my nose has almost completely stopped running. V strange sort of cold as I usually get them for a week or more.

Sorry to SS, *prepares to be scolded by QQ* but just found this as a symptom of 6DPO on a website:

Eight whole days until testing day! :eek:

I thought it was Progesterone that rose not estrogen?! If it was Est then your period would come ... :rotfl:

Re: having a cold being an early symptom, I did actually have a horrid cold between 4-6 weeks with my one. In fact, symptom googling (I was really queasy too, thought I had swine flu, was everywhere at the time) was what made me take the test!
