What's thrush?
The last few cycles, I've had extreme vaginal dryness to the point of itchiness for a day or two just before AF arrives.
Both times this has happened, I thought I had a yeast infection coming on, but then AF arrived and the itchiness went away.
Is that thrush?

I don't have sore BB's either! Which is very odd, because they're usually sore 2 weeks before AF shows up, but here I am, a week from AF, and not a sore spot!

 

[TTC...#1:)]

I got my BFP on 1/16/10

I really didn't notice anything different...my boobs were sore but they every month..the thing that kinda caught me off guard was I usually start spotting 3 or 4 days before i start. I was suppose to start on the 19th..but on the 14th i had brown discharge for that day and than it went away. It barely was on my panties..but if i put my finger up "there" if would slightly be on there and after 24 hours of that it stopped. So i was thinking..thats weird usually when i spot i don't stop until full blown AF. So i woke up saturday morning and had one test left, (3 days before af was due) and SURPRISE.. PREGNANT on a clear blue digital. I was not expecting it..because i really didn't have any change at all except for the brown discharge...

I had been TTC for 8 months. the last 2 months i didn't do anything at all..didn't calculate anything..just had sex when i wanted to and that apparently worked.

attached is a pic of my tests..took them all in the same day because i was in disbelief

Congrats TTC!!! That's amazing H&H 9 months xo

 

[Srrme]

Congratulations, TTC! H&H 9 Months!

I'm still having constant heartburn - and the other symptoms I listed earlier. My BB's still aren't sore, which is so odd and not normal for me. I might test earlier, because I don't think I can hold out much longer..

 

[PeaceLoveBaby]

My bbs are very sore..I'm 1 or 2 days away from AF Hope she stays away, but I have a feeling that she won't.

I'm not sure if this is a symptom but I keep tasting blood. Yuck. It's not the classic "metallic" taste, I guess..not sure cuz I never had it with DD. But it's gross!

I always got sore bb's just before my period too. The first month I didn't, BFP. I believe it is a sign! Good luck girls!!

 

[tootles123]

congratulations to all the bfp's and good luck to everyone waiting

Just to add, i'm feeling really rather queezy - seems to be very early morning and wakes me up, and then late afternoon - but...and it's quite a but,

I have had two lots of flu over xmas and i can't be sure if my body is getting rid of the last of the remaining bug - i mean i was in bed for most of the festive season, so it really could be that.

My longest cycle is 38 days so I have 5 more days to wait

Really? That's brought my hopes up! AF is 6 days away, and STILL no sore BB's!

I got a positive hpt (FRER) yesterday at 10dpo and again today at 11dpo.

My symptoms have been so far:

1. Cramps & twinges, abdominal & pelvic, some felt exactly like af cramps - this was at 8/9dpo which going by my chart was I think when I had implantation (had a dip On my chart that I've never had before)

2. Gassy, very gassy! I am usually very ladylike intact I don't think I've burped in front of dh more than a couple of times in our 9 years together however this week I have been burping & trumping like a trooper! Can't do anything about it!

3. Acid reflux & heartburn - not something I usually suffer with but had it bad the last few days.

4. Tired, feeling completely shattered!

5. Hungy - I could eat for England! I've been eating a big meal only to find that half an hour later my stomach is rumbling away again.

6. Constipation. Self explanatory.

7. Just had a good feeling this month, it's wierd not something ican put my finger on but I never thoght I'm out, I kept saying to dh I think we've done it, I thnk I'm finally preggo.

Hope this is helpful to someone!

Ooh I totally forgot my strangest 'symptom' - my female cat wouldn't leave me alone!!

Added: Now- just this minute, cycle day 21/ almost 22- I'm starting to have some eggwhite-looking CM.
WTH??
I didn't have any when I ovulated! I didn't have any all month!
Now that ovulation is surely over, I'm having it.
It's still not exactly eggwhite quality (I read on a website that true EWCM can stretch one to ten inches or longer... had to giggle at the idea of somebody stretching their cervical mucus ten inches ), but it's the closest thing I've had to it yet.

But why would it be here now?
I just don't get it.
My body is a mystery to me.

I read this and giggled softly because I just went thru the same thing. O'd on the 7th or 8th, had EWCM and made sure we BD plenty that week. Then, this past weekend, on Friday..I got the SAME EWCM, along with the familiar O pains and thought, WTH?? Did we miss it? Was I mistaken?? And it was a very quick trip to the bedroom after that..lol

I've heard, and read..that sometimes our bodies gear up for O, but it doesn't actually O at that time. Why, don't know..could be anything. But, when it misses it, it will sometimes gear up again later, and attempt to O again.

Maybe that's what happened to us both. Not really sure, but we covered bases to be sure.

And because I have no clue what-so-ever, as to my actual DPO...I'm counting anything I've spotted as simply "O-stuff", and no longer looking. Now it's just the wait game.

Ooh I totally forgot my strangest 'symptom' - my female cat wouldn't leave me alone!!

I've read somewhere that animals, instictively know when a woman is pregnant. And I believe it because when I was preggers with DD, YEARS ago..my then rottweiler, suddenly had an attachment to me. I couldn't go anywhere without him following me, and basically being my shadow.

During this time tho, my friend was trying hard to convince me that I was infact preggers, and I of course was in complete denial..but, I think...the rottie knew too. Thus his sudden joining of himself to my hip thru my entire pregnancy. After I had DD tho, his attention shifted to her, and he became her great protector..

On the day my af date i was cramping and having diarheoas and urges to pee a lot esp nighttimes and felt like af was about to come and increased CM, thats about it at 4 weeks xx

 

[buttonnose82]

I have has super faint lines since 9DPO but today at 11DPO I finally got lines that future hubby could even see hehe

Symptoms so far:

* cramps - I have had them constantly since 5 DPO, some hurt enough to take my breath away (seriously though i was out this month!)

* CM - pink CM at 5DPO and generally more CM than normal for me post ovulation

* Low energy/tired

* Generally feeling 'off' and a little sick

* IBS has been AFWUL since 5DPO

* Bloating from mid afternoon - yes already!

* BB's - feel heavy but not really sore

Think thats it

 

[Boothh]

and you know what im having these same symptoms again, so FX for me please girls ? x

Ooh I totally forgot my strangest 'symptom' - my female cat wouldn't leave me alone!!

hahaha this happened to me too! i didnt even think about that til you said, sam reeally got attatched to mewhen i was pregnant, but when she was sterilised or whatever they do to cats she stopped so maybe she wont do it this time?

 

[Lolalonia]

I've been 16DPO, felt almost no symptoms whatsoever and few hours ago i just found out i'm actually pregnant!!!

I've Only been feeling cramps lower abdominal like a big AF is coming and much more lower back pain for these couple of days. I've never experienced this many back pain unless the day AF is coming, so that's a really big sign for me.

So for woman out there who are not sure of their pregnancy test, but feeling a slight possible feeling that you're pregnant, you should go for a blood test!

Good luck everyone! Baby dust to everyone trying
