Nah, I am annoyed with my husband, <-- still weird typing that! I am purposely going to bed before he gets home tonight!

Lol ginge how long have you been married (I admit I probably missed it somewhere)? We've married a month and the whole "husband" thing feels very strange!

 

[x-ginge-x]

I got married on the 26th July haha, going to take some getting used to!

Does anyone find the 'fertile' week is literally the only week you DON'T want to BD? Bloated stomach, sore boobs, irritable, Urgh. So ironic.

 

[x-ginge-x]

I feel bleurgh all the time LOL, but sometimes I do think I should but I cba, my early night has gone pop i'm sat in my front garden babysitting by ear for the neighbour as his mate has broken down and his wife is at work and wont be home for a while :brr:

So I know this is a big no no but... Symptom time! Ok, so yesterday I'm having these weird pinching feelings on and off all day. Not at all cramps - totally different. No idea what that's about. Boobs are a little tender (which doesn't normally happen for me this early) and had a bunch of yellow cm just now (again - not normal)

Hoping these are good signs!

 

[x-ginge-x]

Ooh symptom spotting already Haa fingers crossed sava x

 

[Mrsgoodhart]

Omg sava! Pinching is the exact way I've been describing it. Sometimes crampy but occasionally a very distinct pinching. And a slight pulling sensation on one side or the other when I stand up. Boobs are tender put toward my armpits and nips are sensitive. I normally do NOT get any kind of symptoms before AF other than increased appetite which I have not noticed thus far. Sooooo....there's that. I did POAS today (at 6dpo) mostly because I freakin HAD to pee on something. BFN, absolutely NO surprise there but I'm only out $1
I figure I'll probably test again probably (if we're being honest) every day starting Saturday or Sunday....and continue the wicked symptom spotting in the meantime lol

omg I can Relate to this post. Last cycle day 24 I got the pinch. This cycle day 23 I got the gentle cramps, yesterday. I thought this was ovulation symptoms, right? PMS for me happens between 14-8 days before menstrual and last's until about 2 days before. I get the increased appetite, painful boobs, slight mood swings, anxiety, diarrhea, increased sex drive, then sensitivity in areola only. I should definitely be having entire boob pain like around the arm pits like you described now, but I don't. This is weird. Its no way I'm experiencing the after effects of conception this early. I'm so confused!

 

[babifever]

Oh yeah did I mention pimples!!

 

[TTTTina]

I've been breaking out lately too. I hate it

 

[LeaLion]

Oooh! Symptom craze!

We went to the cinema yesterday and I also had pinching feeling during the movie. It is gone now and temp went up again, aircon was off this night. Supposedly I'm 8 DPO, so I tested anyway and got a

 

[Maggs]

I'm not having so much now, the odd pulling behind my belly button but the first 5 days after O, I had a fair bit of pain and pressure in my uterus which I've never had. When I was holding Jack, he'd be resting on my belly and I could feel it was so tender when he pushed down on it. And lots of globs odd yellowish cm. And very vivid dreams the last few nights.

And holy moody too! The last two mornings I've gotten really emotional over silly things and DH is aggravating the hell out of me

 

[x-ginge-x]

Morning ladies haven't done an OV strip yet but ferning has gone and ff has given me crosshairs on cd18. Before my pos opk

 

[HopefulPony]

That's weird Ginge, when did the ferning start?

Here's today's OPK from about 11:45:

Either I've missed it or it's still on it's way - not a clue! Maybe stress is stopping me ovulating - another two bus lane fines came through the door this morning and the bath is leaking!

two bus lane fines?

 

[HopefulPony]

Yep - we have been fined 3 times now for driving in a bus lane, it's £30 per fine. OH is the driver and said she had no idea the lanes were enforced with cameras and if she had known she never would have done it. I'm just gutted as we don't have £90, and if we leave it til payday it DOUBLES.

 

[x-ginge-x]

This ams tests!! Ff has given be crosshairs for before my pos tests according to my temps? Is that even possible?? I do have pros though maybe that's why my tests are odd x

 

[Savasanna]

Hmm.. Ginge - I'm so sorry this cycle is so confusing for you! I honestly have no idea how to interpret that. I don't believe you should be getting +opks after you ovulate.. although I suppose it's possible to have LH lingering. But if that were the case then you'd most likely have like 5 days of +opks and then ovulation in the middle? I don't know - that's a hard one!

Mags and Lea - hopefully these are all good signs for us! Otherwise we're all just imagining the same thing.. haha.

My temp went up a little this morning, which made me happy. I know temps aren't a reliable sign - but I LOOOOOVE seeing those high temps. Fx tomorrow's is even higher!

Woot Woot to all you 7dpo-ers out there. Half way!

 

[x-ginge-x]

I don't understand it either but I know temps are more reliable than the opks!! Going to see what my temps do for the next few days as they did rise after opks
