Awesome news bostondogs!! xx

bebe I am also 5dpo today and yesterday (and this morning) I've had some sharp pelvic pains. They are intermittent and not terribly painful, and not exactly cramping, but sharp and short pains that come and go. I thought maybe gas but it doesn't feel that way? Left side concentrated too,3

That’s how mine were too at 5dpo. 7dpo today

 

[TexMel]

It's so hard not to symptom spot! Yesterday at 7dpo, I had slight waves of nausea while cooking pancakes for my family. Today, I had a hard time finishing my normal run at the gym. I made it a mile running, then walked the rest of the time. Not sure if that is a good sign.

 

[Alligator]

I agree it's so hard not to symptom spot TexMel - I try to tell myself I am just noticing things. Our bodies are pretty wonderful creations and try to tell us things all the time. I try to be in tune with my body, without symptom spotting. It's a fine line but I know I am not imagining sharp pains!! It could mean something or it could mean nothing but it's good to note it down, either way. I think the key is not reading too much into it all. Note them down, be aware, and then try and not obsess over it. Easier said than done I know!

CB86 how interesting! I'm hoping it means good things for us both.

They are intermittent and not terribly painful, and not exactly cramping, but sharp and short pains that come and go. I thought maybe gas but it doesn't feel that way? Left side concentrated too, instead of more in the centre of my pelvis/abdomen. Hoping it's a good sign!

And great news about moving home

Thanks Alli! Yah yesterday I kept having cramps right above the hairline on my pelvis kind of front and to the right just very intermittent and then a bit of pressure. All the cramping is gone today, mostly unsettled tummy and headache since I woke up. Not typical at all for me this time of the month, so I am hopeful this means good things. Also, I don't temp (I would drive myself nuts! Lol) but my DH told me I have felt extra warm since O day. Anyway it makes me hopeful!

 

[Alligator]

Yes bebe you described it perfectly! Just above the hairline, mine is to the left though but otherwise the same. Feeling just an 'awareness' too of the area down there. Who knows if that's because I'm focusing on it or there's actually something going on.

Interesting! I sometimes think I should stop temping as it can drive you a bit crazy but I think not temping would make me more crazy, waiting and wondering!

TTC74 added you to the 27th!

Sarah, sorry to hear you might have PCOS! But at least it's good to know and be able to do something about it! Hope your doc gives you some meds to try.

Congrats for the bfps ladies!!

AFM - I think I’m on for another cycle of not ovulating. I also had a scan today due to my irregular periods and the sonographer said I’ve got polycystic ovaries. I know you can have the cysts without have PCOS but due to my irregular periods as well i think the doc is going to say I have it. Bit bummed about it but hopefully I can get some meds. We must have been super lucky to catch it when we conceived our son so quickly 4 years ago.
Also, boots opks seems to give me a strong line all the time so I’m sticking to the one step, haven’t got a pos yet and it’s now cd 24...

I think that’s a good thing that they found a problem, well not good as in good news but now they have found a problem you and they can go towards helping to solve the problem, and there lots of things they can do to help you ovulate and conceive
And as you have 2 of the main symptoms of pcos hopefully you can get the help you need

 

[JLObytheBeach]

Can you put me down for testing on the 28th.

 

[sarah34]

Thanks both, had a few hours of being down about it but got a bit grumpy so I am not going to let it get me down.

I will phone my docs on weds and try to get an appointment to discuss everything. Not sure how it works in uk, whether I have to be referred to specialist or if the gp can give me anything. I don’t think we have been trying long enough to be referred yet though. Xx

 

[cb86]

To be honest Sarah I would lie about how long.. you coukd be waiting ages for a referral etc with the nhs (that’s if you’re keen to get things moving) x

 

[TexMel]

Stocked up on tests today, so I'm all ready for the weekend (on Monday). Have a busy week planned, so I'm hoping it flies by.

I do remember from last time all the little stabbing pains that you all are talking about. I remember they got slightly worse in the week or so after my bfp. I was terrified that they meant something awful, but it is apparently just your uterus stretching out. I had some very faint ones on Friday/Saturday, but they have since gone away. They were actually more of a slight pinch.

 

[Alligator]

TexMel that's a good description as well, a slight pinch! I felt something similar.

When I was pregnant I remember around the time AF was due and the week or two after feeling AF like cramps and I was VERY bloated.

For the first few weeks of this pregnancy I definitely had noticeable cramps! The punching fewling early on too.

 

[Alligator]

Hoping it's a good sign for me

 

[TTC74]

Yes! I feel pinching, too! Fx!

 

[Alligator]

YCY TTC74, hoping it's a good sign for us both. I see you're cd7? When will you test?

I've already tested

This is the prettiest chart I've ever had! If it continues to look this good, I'll test daily.

You?

 

[NovaStar]

You ladies read my mind. I'm at 9DPO and been having severe pinching in my lower left side near my public bone and last night a bad cramp on the left side. Hoping it means something good...AF not due until Thursday (so 3 days) and I never get early cramps. I'm usually symptom free (for the most part, sometimes I get irritable or gassy) until AF shows. But you know...my body always seems to mess with my head. Like my boobs are sore and I don't want to get my hopes up...15 months of trying, you'd think I'd know better by now.
