Signs/symptoms(TMI)

[Angel022605]

Hey ladies,
I've made several posts and I just wanna share my BFN story(warning! may be TMI!!). AF was regular and lasted 5 days. I stared temping on CD 2(because AF didn't start until 5 pm on CD 1). I tried the best I could BBT charting everyday at the same time but a few days are off due to having to be at work soooo early. DH and I chose not to do OPK until we are 100% serious on TTC. Now we are waiting for nature to take its course, if it happens it happens if not we are ok with that. I tried charting my CM and CP. My symptoms from about CD 17 were: gassy, headache, nausea, heartburn, bloating, sleep deprived, and decrease/increase in appetite. All symptom didn't occur every day but on and off. This lasted until CD 29/30 when AF was actually due. After that my symptoms were: low back ache on and off, AF like cramps on and off. Even though my chart showed ovulation on CD 8, I don't think I ovulated until CD 19 and on that day I had a high, soft, open cervix with EWCM. The next day was creamy. I tested on CD 31 and it was neg. I had barely any other symptoms except for brown spotting on CD 37. I tested on today(8/16) and it was neg. A few hrs later AF came. Though my symptoms seemed promising and I had somewhat of a triphasic chart I was never preg. I hope my signs/symptoms help those who are still confused. All I can say is I've never been this late either. My chart is attached to my signature as well. Have a good day y'all

Sorry to hear the witch got you thanks for posting your symptoms though, it's really useful to me, I feel like af is on her way, I'm just feeling generally run down, and cramping quite strongly, so it's interesting yo see you had similar
Fx for next cycle for you

Lol I've never heard of AF being referred to as "witch". I'm
Sorry if you feel like AF is coming too. :/ FX for you too. I meant to mention I've also had about a day of sore nipples, which I never get sore nipples. And my symptoms I've listed are fairly new. In other words I don't get PMS symptoms until 3-4 days before and that's when I get bad cramps, bad low back ache, bad nausea, and usually I have to take midol the first couple of days. I hope this also helps.

I am supposed to start today and haven't yet. I know its still early in the day. I took a test this morning and it was negative. I have extreme cramping in my lower abdomen and I feel like I might start but I cant shake the feeling that I could be pregnant. I am very nauseous and my breast are very tender which isn't normal for me. I wonder if stressing out is causing AF to not show up yet.

Yes stress can most definitely delay AF. That and low iron. I also think in a way if you ovulate late it can also make AF late too since LP is almost always 14 days. HTH
