Welcome back Almost! Hope you had a great vacation.
If you could be anywhere between 6-12dpo, don't rule yourself out just yet!! You could be 6, and that would be way too early to show on a test. I ruled myself out at 9dpowith a stark white negative, then got my faint positive the day after! Fingers crossed for you, keep the faith!
Sonia, don't want to give you false hope, but I think this cycle is looking really good for you. From about 4-5 dpo onwards, I had bellyache that felt similar to AF but not quite the same, this sounds like what you could be experiencing (I still get it on and off now, due to uterus stretching apparantly, although it is slightly worrying as makes me think AF is going to come!) Also, the week before my bfp, my sleeping pattern was shocking! I was waking up at least 3 times every night - this is what makes me feel positive about your cycle, especially if you are normally a good sleeper?
I'm slightly worried today, as had a small amount of very light brown discharge when I went to the loo this morning. Been reading up on net and you get lots of posts to say it's completely normal, then you read a few that really worry you. It seems to have gone again now though, so I'm just hoping it was just a one off and won't reappear again. I tell you what, this 1st trimester isn't what I thought it would be! I thought I'd just be really excited all the time, but I'm just counting down the weeks wanting to get to week 12 so I can feel less scared!
Emz, Miss B and Miss M, did/do you feel like this about 1st tri?
