Hi Girls!

I wonder if someone could help me? Everyone is talking about how many dpo they are, i just wondered how you know? I have been using OPK's and i got my LH surge on weds 10th and thurs 11th march so when do i say i ovulated? Fri or sat?
Please can someone help me.......

xx

 

[GossipGirly]

thing is the only way you actually know when u o'vd is if u temp and get 3 temp rises opk's may detected a surge but ur body may not o and they are also really hard to read, unless u really know ur body and can tell if u have o'vd like sore boobs straight after ov or a definate change in cm that u recognise u just dont know its just guessing, dpo is how many days past ovulation you are so if u o'vd yesterday u would be 1dpo now.. best way to kinow exact is temp u can find loads of info on bnb of how to temp properly p.s www.fertilityfriend.com is fab to chart

edit - but its usually up to 48hrs after so u really cant tell exactly when xx

 

[wifey26]

Thanks for reply!!

I don't temp becasue i'm a really light sleeper and always have broken sleep! I did have lots of ewcm and ovulation pain so i suppose i know about when it was but dont know exact day!

Thanks again xx

Right girlies i figured you lot may have some clue about what the hell is going on lol

Im 8 days late for af now, something which has happened before but not for the past 6-7 months, ive been a regular 28 day cycle.
I definately Ov because i feel it every month and we hit the window bang on this month.

I have had ever so slight cramping in my tummy followed by a stabbing sensation in the left side of my tummy. They arnt constant and for a time i wondered if it was my af but they have disapeared entirely now :S
I feel really sicky, ive only been sick once but i think that may have been a mix of having a late night coughing fit and some tiredness. Today is when the sickness has really hit me, it took a while to munch down my breakfast but im ok now i have.

Im also having severe insomnia, i love my bed and would sleep all day if i could but for no reason whatsoever, i just keep waking up sitting there for 20 mins, falling back to sleep and doing it all over again in about a hours time. Oddly though i dont feel too tired and im actually full of energy.

I did have a nasty taste in my mouth but that seems to have buggered off 2 days ago (hurrah) i dont have sore (.) (.) or anything which is wierd as when my af is due they are usually unbearable to touch.

Heres the kicker, ive done frer's, clearblues and tesco's own tests and they have all come back Negative I really wanted to do my last frer this morning but i cant bear to see another bfn

I keep asking myself am i imagining these symptoms but im really not, they are all clear as day. It may be worth mentioning that my mum didnt test positive until she was 3 months gone with me and my brothers.

HELP!!! lol

girls!

Thought I would leave my early preg symptoms for you seeing as I am now pregnant

So I got my first faint faint line on an IC and a superdrug at 10dpo as I woke up feeling really rubbish and just "had a feeling"

The lines steadily got darker over the next few days until I got "Pregnant 1-2" on a digi at 12dpo

So my early symptoms...
Irritability - more than just the usual pre-af type - actually wanted to hurt DH
Sore boobs - a little more than pre-af
Lower back ache
Loads of lotiony/creamy CM
Emotional!
Some light period type cramps (which send me running to the toilet knicker checking!)
Bloated - already look 5 months gone!

Also, I was sure I was out this month, just felt like AF was on her way!

Also wanted to give hope to any one-tubers out there - I lost my left tube last October due to ectopic pregnancy ans started trying again in January this year and here I am! I know I'm not out of the woods yet but there you go! Good luck girls x

 

[Sarahcake]

Aww congrats Kimmyb Happy and healthy 9 months to you.
Thank you for sharing your symptoms its a big help i find

 

[Sarahcake]

Actually seeing your post Kimmy made me realise i forgot to put ive been having a copious amount of off white creamy cm too (sorry if tmi, but were all friends here!)

 

[KimmyB]

sarahcake, have you thought about going to your doctors and asking for BHcG? I'm not sure what the protocol is or how late you have to be? But I think that would put your mind at rest? Good luck hun, hope its just a shy beanie in there

 

[Sarahcake]

Yeah i tried to get into the docs yesterday and today and they are fully booked Im not too sure what their policy is because ive not been to that doctors before.

Im just getting annoyed now, i would like to know one way or another, of course ill be gutted if af turns up but least i would know!

Thankyou hun, i really hope so too

 

[lilbabylove]

I am officially 10dpo and want to test because am having all the same symptoms..

creamy/lotiony white cm since o
cramps like af is coming any second since o and check and it is nothing? just cm :\ and I even freaked out because I said NO WAY IS THE WITCH COMING AT 6 DPO THAT IS TOO SOON IF SHE COMES I NEED TO SEE A DOCTOR! ha
I've been so tired and had a runny nose starting at 3 dpo so I'm assuming a cold is coming on
night sweats..OMG..I hate this one! past three nights I wake up in a puddle of sweat to wear my sheets are soaked and I can't get back to sleep.
including my vivid dreams that DH said I wake up screaming or crying and have been having dreams of us in the delivery room..? weird
metallic taste in mouth off and on since friday..?
and lower backache
sore bbs but not terrible since o which has never happened

actually none of this has ever happened after o but the cramping..so maybe that is good?

any insight ladies with their bfp?

 

[lilbabylove]

today at 10 dpo trying not to get my hopes up though.

 

[GossipGirly]

i got bfn at 11dpo im didnt test again till 20dpo and got a whoppa of a line and 2-3w on digi xx

 

[lilbabylove]

Good luck Hun, i'm in a similar position. No period at all this month, with some symptoms (chronic constipation, sore/tender breasts, sleepless nights, extreme fatigue, lower back pain, cramps...) but BFN yesterday am. Phoned my Drs office, and spoke to a nurse. I've gotta test again on 31st and if symptoms continue with no BFP, I've gotta go in for a BHcG I really hope things are okay - my grandma had trouble producing enough, it it took her 3 yrs to concieve baby number one, but she then went onto having 6 children!

Keep us posted, and I'll let you know what happens next weds

Good luck ladies!

I am still here, waiting and losing my marbles! 14 dpo now, normal dpo for me 11-12, so effectively 2-3 days late, had plenty of symptoms, getting realy fed up now and losing the will to live!

I just want an answer one way or another - I did a HPT on Thursday got a BFN - not surprising too early, again on Saturday - nothing, so trying to hold my pee now for 4 hours to try again tonight - can't wait any longer - keep getting butterflies at the thought, but can't stand the thought of a no - but even if I get a BFN I will still not lose hope until AF arrives - so really unless get a BFP I will continue going around and round in circles!!!

Stepmommy you are just like me. I am aroun 3-4days late (I have very short cycles) and still testing BFN. I have no symptoms of AF yet though.
Usually 3 days before she comes I get brown spotting and TMI need to go empty my bowels more often. Then the nasty cramps come and af starts and its been that way for 5 years now since ds was born.

I really hope I am pregnant but am starting to lose hope with all the bfns
